Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0672 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 398 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 2018 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. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) models for the Cape Fear River Basin used to simulate future streamflow and irrigation demand based on climate and urban growth projections

As part of the Coastal Carolinas Focus Area Study of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Census Program, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to develop models for the Cape Fear River Basin, North Carolina, to simulate future streamflow and irrigation demand based on land use, climate, and water demand projections. SWAT is a basin-scale, process-based watershed model with the capability of simulating water-management scenarios. Model basins were divided into approximately two-square mile subbasins and subsequently divided into smaller, discrete hydrologic response units based on land use, slope, and soil type. The calibration period for the historic model was 2000 to 2014. The best available data on water-use from this time period were used, including public water supply, industrial water use, irrigation needs and golf courses. Six future scenario models simulated streamflow during the period 2055 to 2065 based on incorporation of two alternative land use projections, an ensemble of three global climate models, and water demand forecasts. This USGS data release contains all the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235036).

Acoustic-tagged juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) detections in Lookout Point Reservoir and downstream in the Middle Fork Willamette River, Oregon, 2023_24

Federally-threatened ago-0 spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were acoustic tagged and released near Lookout Point Reservoir to estimate passage and survival during an experimental reservoir drawdown operation that was designed to facilitate downstream passage through two reservoirs and dams. The experimental operation consisted of lowering the water surface elevation of Lookout Point Reservoir on the Middle Fork Willamette River from 823 ft in late August 2023 to 750 ft by early November 2023 and passing water through regulating outlets at Lookout Point Dam. This operation was intended to improve fish passage for juvenile Chinook salmon through Lookout Point Dam. During our study, acoustic-tagged juvenile Chinook salmon produced by Oregon State University's Wild Fish Surrogate Program were released weekly during late August to late October to determine how fish responded to the drawdown. Detection sites were in Lookout Point Reservoir and Dexter Reservoir on the Middle Fork Willamette River; and near the city of Eugene, Oregon, and near Willamette Falls on the Willamette River. Estimates of fish survival through the study area were calculated from the release and detection records and combined with time-varying covariates of Lookout Dam operations and water temperature in Lookout Point Reservoir and the Middle Fork Willamette River.

Stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of precipitation samples from selected Virginia and West Virginia National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) sites

The stable hydrogen (delta 2H) and oxygen (delta 18O) isotopic compositions of more than 1,400 daily or weekly composite samples of precipitation from four National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) sites (VA10, VA27, VA28, and WV99) in Virginia and West Virginia were analyzed on archived samples obtained from NADP over various time periods from as early as 1998. The samples are from the NADP National Trends Network (NTN) with weekly sample frequency, and the former NADP Atmospheric Integrated Research Monitoring Network (AIRMoN), sampled daily within 24 hours of start of precipitation.  Data on site location, collection begin and end dates, sample volume and precipitation amounts were furnished from publicly-available NADP sources and were not evaluated for accuracy.
The delta 2H and delta 18O values of 140 samples collected between 1997 and 2015 from a USGS collector collocated at NADP site VA28 were analyzed. The sample collection frequency varied between 5 and 126 days.
Measured values range between -200.9 and +31.8 per mil for delta 2H and between -26.78 and +6.22 per mil for delta 18O. The data set of NAPD composite samples includes all the samples that were analyzed. Some isotope-delta values have been flagged as being out of range for natural waters, possibly in relation to low sample volumes or suboptimal storage conditions; however, the end user is responsible for evaluating all data for suitability for the intended purpose.
Data files provided here include the metadata as an .xml file, a Microsoft Office Excel .xlsx file with five spreadsheets containing the Introduction, Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4, and the individual data tables as comma-separated value .csv files. A plot of hydrogen versus oxygen isotopic compositions is also provided as a .jpg image. Data analysis was funded by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) National Research Program and by the Laboratory and Analytical Services Division.

Chance of slight (MMI = VI) damaging earthquake shaking in 100 years

This data set portrays the spatial potential for damaging earthquake ground shaking quantified as slight (MMI = VI) in 100 years.  The maps and data are based on the average of the results obtained from peak ground acceleration and 1.0-second horizontal spectral acceleration.  Site specific soil factors based on Vs30 shear wave velocities were implemented using a simple topographic proxy technique (Allen and Wald, 2009) and site amplification based on the relationships of Seyhan and Stewart (2014).  MMI = VI is equivalent to peak ground acceleration of 0.12g and 1.0-second horizontal spectral acceleration of 0.1g (Worden et al., 2012) for the default site class (Vs30=760 m/s).

Wyoming Mule Deer North Bighorn Migration Routes

The North Bighorn mule deer herd inhabits the northern half of the Bighorn Mountains in north-central Wyoming (fig. 28). The herd consists of resident mule deer that live year round in lower elevation foothills (approximately 4,265 ft [1,300 m]), primarily on private, Wyoming State trust, or BLM lands, and migratory mule deer that travel from the foothills to the summer ranges at higher elevations (approximately 7,874 ft [2,400 m]) on the Bighorn National Forest. In general, annual precipitation across the mountain range increases with elevation. To the west of the Bighorn Mountains, the Absaroka Range and arid Bighorn Basin, which receives only 7 in. (18 cm) of rain annually, prevents moisture-laden winds from reaching the western slopes of the Bighorn Mountains; therefore, the western side of the Bighorn Mountains generally receives less precipitation than the eastern side (Nesser, 1986). At lower-elevation (approximately 4,265 ft [1,300 m]) winter ranges, the western side of the mountain range comprises primarily sagebrush-steppe, whereas the eastern side consists primarily of grassland and agriculture. Mule deer have vastly different migration strategies depending on where they winter; most mule deer that winter on the eastern side of the mountain range are residents (76 percent), whereas most mule deer that winter on the western side of the mountain range are migratory (97 percent). Summer ranges at high elevations on Bighorn National Forest lands comprise primarily coniferous forest, most commonly lodgepole pine followed by Picea engelmannii (Engelmann spruce) and Abies lasiocarpa (subalpine fir; Witt, 2008). The herd is threatened by competition from increasing elk and white-tailed deer populations and expanding CWD prevalence (Wyoming Game and Fish Department [WGFD], 2022).
These mapping layers show the location of the migration routes for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the North Bighorn population in Wyoming. They were developed from 355 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 176 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2 hours.

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2020: Average annual yields

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) Network stations for the period 1985 through 2020. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). Yields (representing the mass of constituent transported from a unit area of a given watershed) are used to compare the export loads from one basin to another. Yield results are obtained by dividing the annual load (pounds) of a given constituent by the respective watershed area (acres) from which the constituent was transported. Yield results presented represent the average annual per-acre loads of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment exported from each of the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring stations for two possible time periods: 2011-2020 (10 year average yield) and 2016-2020 (5 year average yield).

California Elk Marble Mountain Annual Range

Little information exists regarding demographic rates and abundance of elk in the Marble Mountains in California. In the early 1990s and 2000s, elk were reintroduced from Oregon into the Marble Mountain area (CDFW, 2018). Since then, elk have reestablished throughout much of the area, but GPS collar data and information on movement are limited. Current research examines how fire influences elk occupancy in the area. Elk were collared from 2006 to 2013, at sites in the Klamath National Forest and Marble Mountain Wilderness in the north, and close to Cecilville in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in the south. After collaring, elk were separated into three distinct sub-herds (north: Ukonom, central: Wooley Creek, and south: South Fork) due to non-overlapping GPS data points within these areas. The Marble Mountain elk do not migrate between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges. Instead, the herd contains short-distance elevation-based migrants that display a nomadic migratory tendency, moving up or down elevational gradients. Some elk used higher elevation areas throughout the summer, though this pattern was not ubiquitous. Therefore, annual home ranges were modeled using year-round GPS data to demarcate high use areas in lieu of modeling the specific winter ranges commonly seen in other ungulate analyses in California. More collars are being deployed in collaboration with the Karuk Tribe, but these data are not included here.
These mapping layers show the location of the annual ranges for elk (Cervus canadensis) in the Marble Mountain population in California. They were developed from 12 sequences collected from a sample size of 11 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2-10 hours.
