Water Table Contours in the Upper Glacial and Magothy Aquifers, April-May 2013

This polyline shapefile consists of digital contours that represent the water table altitude in the upper glacial and Magothy aquifer beneath Long Island, New York. The U.S. Geological Survey constructed a water table altitude map using ground-water levels measured in the upper glacial and Magothy aquifers during the spring of 2013. Contours were constructed at a scale of 1:125,000 from water-level data collected at 335 groundwater monitoring wells. The water table altitude contours were digitized and compared to 1997, 2006, and 2010 water table altitude maps . The variable contour interval ranges from 5 to 120 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29). This polyline shapefile is a digital representation of the potentiometric-surface contours presented in sheet 1 of Scientific Investigations Map 3326.

Amino Acid Imprinted Cisco Behavioral Data, 2017-2021

4+ year old cisco (Coregonus artedi) pre-spawn and spawning/near-spawning behavioral data were collected and compiled at the Tunison Laboratory of Aquatic Science in Cortland, NY USA, between August-October 2021 and November-December 2021. Data are comprised of fish reactions in choice flume video data (attractance/avoidance). Cisco were exposed/not exposed to an imprinting chemical (amino acids: alanine, histidine, morpholine, proline, and serine) through early life stages, and later tested based on their treatment to see how individuals reacted to the presence of exposure chemicals during subsequent life stages. These data show how the adult stage cisco of this study ((non exposed (control) and treatment (amino acid exposed)) react to timed exposure of morpholine dilution at the 4+ year life stages.

Spatial distribution of layer-averaged velocity measured in the Calumet Harbor, Illinois (September 14, 2015)

Acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data were collected along a prescribed navigated course throughout Calumet Harbor on September 14, 2015 to determine the spatial distribution of layer-averaged velocities. The data were layer-averaged in 2-foot increments of depth from the bed to the water surface, and temporally-averaged over a 30-second window to reduce noise. Data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and other, 2013). Any data assigned a value of "-9999" are invalid or missing and should not be used for analysis.

San Pablo Bay bathymetry: 1856 to 1983

This data release provides a series of six bathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) of San Pablo Bay, CA generated from single-beam hydrographic surveys collected from 1856 to 1983. The DEMs were constructed based upon historical United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and National Ocean Service (NOS) surveys collected in 1856, 1887, 1898, 1922, 1951, and 1983. Depth soundings from the pre-1930s surveys were manually digitized and georeferenced while the later surveys were obtained in digital format, and all information compiled into a geographic information system (GIS). Using surface modeling software, the soundings from each survey were supplemented with hand-drawn contours and shorelines obtained from topographic sheets to generate bathymetric DEMs at a horizontal resolution of 25 m. The bathymetric DEMs are provided in GeoTIFF format, vertically referenced to the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) tidal epoch referenced at the time of data collection.

HW1_Q15.TIF - Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (15 of 29) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

Survey of the southeastern Hawaiian Ridge was the fifth major segment of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) mapping program to have been initiated. Data acquisition for this region required approximately one-half year and were acquired during eight cruises over a four year period from 1986 through 1989, skipping 1987. At the conclusion of the survey 29 mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree were completed for the region. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of twenty-seven digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree area and 2 mosaics of 2.25 degree by 2 degree with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016 and 2018 land-water matrices

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of five land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016 and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.

Broadband Ground Motion Simulations for an Earthquake “Doublet” on the Newport-Inglewood and Palos Verdes Faults

The occurrence and impact of the February 2023 earthquake doublet in Türkiye, where an Mw 7.8 event was followed roughly 9 hours later by an Mw 7.5 event on an adjacent fault, begs the question: What would be the impact of such a sequence in California? As part of the effort to address this question, this Data Release consists of simulated ground motions for a hypothetical doublet scenario on the Newport-Inglewood and Palos Verdes faults in the Los Angeles region. The fault locations and orientations are based on the 2023 USGS National Seismic Hazard Model.  The magnitudes are Mw 7.25 for the 84-km Newport-Inglewood rupture and Mw 7.05 for the 70-km Palos Verdes rupture. Broadband ground motions are computed using a combination of deterministic and stochastic approaches for the lower- and higher-frequency components, respectively. The deterministic calculations use the SCEC 3D Community Velocity Model version CVM-S4.26.M01 extracted using the UCVM software platform with a minimum shear velocity of 400 m/s, and the stochastic simulations use a 1D reference model with Vs30-based site-specific adjustments using period-dependent factors. Three-component waveforms are saved on a 1.2 km by 1.2 km grid of points, and PGA, PGV, and spectral accelerations at periods of 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 s are extracted to produce scenario ShakeMaps. Comparison of the simulated motions with empirical ground-motion models (GMMs) are generally favorable; however, noticeable differences exist due to rupture directivity and basin response effects.

Nevada Mule Deer Area 17-Toiyabe Migration Corridors

The Area 17-Toiyabe mule deer herd inhabits the Shoshone Mountains and Toiyabe Range, which run north to south in central Nevada (fig. 11). Mule deer from the Shoshone Mountains and Toiyabe Range are characterized by short distance migrations from high elevations above 7,874 ft (2,400 m), down to 5,577 ft (1,700 m). Since the 1920s, the lower elevation slopes east of Toiyabe Dome, between Wisconsin Creek and Broad Creek and locally known as Toiyabe bench, have been documented by the Nevada Department of Wildlife as crucial mule deer winter range. Because of the value of this habitat for mule deer, the BLM closed the area to domestic livestock grazing in 1983 (Nevada Department of Wildlife, 1985). In 2018, in collaboration with Nevada Department of Wildlife, the FS treated 2,600 acres (647 ha) of pinyon and juniper—thinning the woody vegetation wherever they encroached shrublands—on the crucial mule deer wintering habitat (Gundlach, 2022). Other pinyon and juniper treatments are ongoing in Indian Valley, an area of high importance for year-round mule deer habitat between the Shoshone Mountains and Toiyabe Range. Senescent browse, reduced forbs, drought, and pinyon and juniper encroachment are the greatest conservation challenges the Area 17-Toiyabe mule deer herd face.
These mapping layers show the location of the Migration routes for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Area 17-Toiyabe population in Nevada. They were developed from 98 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 35 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2−5 hours.

Estimated seasonal nitrogen and phosphorus loads in selected streams of the conterminous United States, 1999 - 2020

Estimated seasonal total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads during 1999 through 2020 in selected streams of the conterminous United States and water-quality and stream flow data used to generate those estimates are presented in this dataset. Loads were generated as part of the Integrated Water-Availability Assessment (IWAA) Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/water-resources/science/integrated-water-availability-assessments#overview) using Fluxmaster (Schwarz and others, 2006, https://doi.org/10.3133/tm6B3) and Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS) (Hirsch and De Cicco, 2015, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2015.07.017). Loads were estimated initially for the Illinois River Basin (IRB) and later for the wider conterminous United States (including the IRB). Along with the water-quality data, streamflow data, and estimated nitrogen and phosphorus loads, this release also includes computer code that can be run to recreate the load estimates or modified for similar applications.

LANDFIRE Remap Forest Canopy Height (CH) Guam Northern Mariana Islands

LANFIRE’s (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Forest Canopy Height (CH) describes the average height of the top of the canopy for a stand. In disturbed locations CH is calculated from linear regression equations derived from Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) plot data output, but at non-disturbed locations it is assigned the midpoint of Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) forested classes. In some instances, LF Remap assumes the potential burnable biomass in the tree canopy has been accounted for in the surface fuel model. For example, young or short conifer stands where the trees are represented by a shrub type fuel model will not have canopy characteristics.
LF Remap Annual Disturbance products are incorporated into CH to provide informed changes by disturbance type, severity, and time since disturbance (TSD). Annual Disturbance products provide a pre-disturbance scenario represented by LF Remap existing vegetation products, the reporting of pre-disturbance scenarios helps to calculate CH. Vegetation adjustments are then modeled in disturbance areas based on disturbance type and severity. CH is then used in the calculation of Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) and Canopy Base Height (CBH). CH supplies information for fire behavior models, such as FARSITE (Finney 1998), that can determine; the starting point for embers in the spotting model, wind reductions, and the volume of crown fuels.
CH also has capable fuels functionality, capable fuels calculate TSD assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

Environmental conditions synchronize avian botulism type E outbreaks in the Great Lakes: Data

During 2010 to 2013, waterbird mortality surveillance programs used a shared protocol for shoreline walking surveys performed June to November at three areas in northern Lake Michigan. Timing (to day) and location (to transect) of carcass deposition and species affected were summarized. Using these observations, the broader goal of our study was to quantify the spatial synchrony of avian mortality events and explore whether within-year lake conditions (lake surface temperatures and the presence of algal masses) were related to the magnitude and periodicity of these mortality events. We generated the data on bird mortality, but we used publically-available data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for lake surface temperatures and algal masses as approximated by chlorophyll-a concentration (http://neo.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/). As part of a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative study, the carcass data have also been used to assess between year trends (Chipault et al. 2015), some birds collected during surveillance were tested for botulism type E to assess the toxin presence across species (Chipault et al. 2015), some birds were also used in a gut content study to analyze what was consumed before death (Essian et al. 2016), and some of the spatially-explicit carcass data were used in backtracing models to estimate the source of the toxin in the environment (Kenow et al. 2016).
