Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2016 Site 0114 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. 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. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2016 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Three previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, and 2012). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Alaska permafrost characterization: Geophysical and related field data collected from 2016-2017

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), downhole nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and manual permafrost-probe measurements were used to quantify permafrost characteristics along transects within several catchments in interior Alaska in late summer 2016 and 2017.  Geophysical sites were chosen to coincide with additional soil, hydrologic, and geochemical measurements adjacent to various low-order streams and tributaries in a mix of burned and unburned watersheds in both silty and rocky environments.  Data were collected in support of the Striegl-01 NASA ABoVE project, "Vulnerability of inland waters and the aquatic carbon cycle to changing permafrost and climate across boreal northwestern North America."  Additional geophysical measurements were conducted at the Bonanza Creek LTER and at a thermokarst bog site.  ERT transects were 100 - 200 m in length, and produce models of electrical resistivity structure to depths of 10 - 15 m that indicate the distribution of frozen ground with high spatial resolution.  Manual permafrost-probe measurements were made periodically along ERT transects to validate the depth to the top of permafrost.  Downhole NMR measurements were made at select locations near the ERT transects to quantify in situ unfrozen water content and to help constrain interpretations of electrical resistivity models.

Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy data acquired at Mount Pagan volcano (Mariana Islands) on 6 April 2014

On 6 April 2014, a Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) instrument was used to measure the radiance of scattered solar radiation passing through the plume emitted from Mount Pagan volcano, Mariana Islands. Spectra were recorded in the ultraviolet (UV: 240 – 390 nm) wavelength range at 0.6 nm resolution. A scanner was used to scan the spectrometer's viewing direction vertically through the volcanic plume. The scanner was located at 18.1235N, 145.7608E and aimed directly to the north (0 degrees azimuth). It scanned the spectrometer's viewing direction from 1 to 90 degrees elevation in steps of 1 degree. The plume was encountered at about 15 to 20 degrees elevation. The scanner was held at each position for about 1 second during which the UV spectrum was acquired. The plume scans ran from 08:22 to 09:14 local time and 2,203 spectra were recorded. All recorded spectra were stamped with GPS time and location. Each spectrum is saved in a separate ASCII file which includes the 2048 radiances recorded across the spectral window of the spectrometer along with metadata associated with each acquisition. A separate file named 'WavelengthCalibration.CSV' contains the spectrometer's wavelength calibration, where each pixel number is assigned a wavelength in nanometers.

Central California CoSMoS v3.1 projections of coastal cliff retreat due to 21st century sea-level rise

This dataset contains spatial projections of coastal cliff retreat (and associated uncertainty) for future scenarios of sea-level rise (SLR) in Central California. Present-day cliff-edge positions used as the baseline for projections are also included. Projections were made using numerical models and field observations such as historical cliff retreat rate, nearshore slope, coastal cliff height, and mean annual wave power, as part of Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS). Read metadata and references carefully.  
Details: Cliff-retreat position projections and associated uncertainties are for scenarios of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 0.92, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3.0 and 5 meters of SLR. Projections were made at CoSMoS cross-shore transects (CST) spaced 100-200 m alongshore using a baseline sea-cliff edge from 2016 (included in the dataset). Within the zip file, there are two separate datasets available: 1) one that ignores coastal armoring, such as seawalls and revetments, and allows the cliff to retreat unimpeded (“Do Not Hold the Line”); and 2) another that assumes that current coastal armoring will be maintained and 100% effective at stopping future cliff erosion ("Hold the Line"). An ensemble of four numerical models synthesized from literature were used to make projections. All models relate breaking-wave height and period to cliff rock or unconsolidated sediment erosion. As sea level rises, waves break closer to the sea cliff, more wave energy impacts the cliffs, and cliff erosion rates accelerate. The final projections are a weighted average of all models (weighted by model performance), and the final uncertainties are proportional to 1) underlying uncertainties in the model input data, such as historical cliff retreat rates, and 2) the differences between individual model forecasts at each CST so that uncertainty is larger when the models do not agree. Uncertainty represents the 95% confidence level (two standard deviations about the mean projection). Model behavior also includes wave run-up and wave set-up that raises the water level during big-wave events. 
Please refer to Limber and others (2018) for more detailed information on the model and data sources.

Seismic data for study of shallow mountain bedrock limits seepage-based headwater climate refugia, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia: U.S. Geological Survey data release

A combination of long-term daily temperature records and depth to bedrock measurements were used to parametrize one-dimensional models of shallow aquifer vertical heat transport in Shenandoah National Park, VA, USA. Depth to bedrock can directly influence shallow aquifer flow and thermal sensitivity, but is typically ill-defined along the stream corridor in steep mountain catchments. We employed rapid, cost-effective passive seismic measurements to evaluate the variable thickness of the shallow colluvial and alluvial aquifer sediments along a headwater stream supporting coldwater-dependent brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in Shenandoah National Park. The methods are fully documented in the associated journal article, Briggs, M.A., J.W. Lane, C.D. Snyder, E.A. White, Z.C. Johnson, D.L. Nelms, and N.P. Hitt, 2017, Shallow mountain bedrock limits seepage-based headwater climate refugia, Limnologica, https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.limno.2017.02.005. This Data Release includes seismic data collected as part of the study.

Trends in selected streamflow metrics at reference streamgages in the conterminous United States, 1955-2014

This dataset includes four tables related to annual trends in streamflow metrics at 599 reference streamgages in the conterminous United States for the period 1955-2014. Reference streamgages are defined here as gages with drainage basins that are minimally impacted by anthropogenic effects such as reservoirs or urbanization. The four tables are: 1) computed annual values for 16 streamflow metrics, 2) trend estimates for the 16 streamflow metrics for the period 1955-2014, 3) metric names and definitions, and 4) location information (latitude and longitude) for the 599 sites. The computed annual values for the 16 streamflow metrics are: low flow magnitude, low flow frequency, low flow duration, high flow magnitude, high flow frequency, high flow duration, skew, daily rises, Spring low flow percentage, Spring high flow percentage, Summer low flow percentage, Summer high flow percentage, Fall low flow percentage, Fall high flow percentage, Winter low flow percentage, and Winter high flow percentage. The annual flow metrics were estimated by Eng and others (2017) from daily streamflow records at the 599 reference streamgages. Sen slope trend values and confidence intervals for the 16 flow metrics for the period 1955-2014 were computed from the annual time series using the non-parametric Theil-Sen approach (Sen, P., 1968). In addition to the Sen slope, the median value for each metric for the period 1955-2014, the percentage change in each metric over the period 1955-2014, and a percentage change class for each metric also are reported.

Genetic data and genetic network attributes for rangewide Greater Sage-grouse network constructed in 2018 (ver. 2.0, December 2022)

Genetic networks can characterize complex genetic relationships among groups of individuals, which can be used to rank nodes most important to the overall connectivity of the system. Ranking allows scarce resources to be guided towards nodes integral to connectivity. The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a species of conservation concern that breeds on spatially discrete leks that must remain connected by genetic exchange for population persistence. We genotyped 5,950 individuals, from 1,200 greater sage-grouse leks distributed across the entire species’ geographic range. We found a small world network composed of 458 nodes connected by 14,481 edges that are described here. The files associated with this data release include the raw genetic data as well as characteristics of the nodes, edges, and edges within the minimum spanning tree.
