Plant genetic structure data from riparian areas within the Grand Canyon region in northern Arizona

These data represent nuclear microsatellite data collected from four riparian plant species that occur in and around Grand Canyon National Park: Populus fremontii (POFR), Salix gooddingii (SAGO), Salix exigua (SAEX), and Prosopis glandulosa (PRGL). These data were collected for population genetic analysis to help inform native plant material development in Grand Canyon National Park. Leaf samples were collected at sites spanning 470 km of the Colorado River between Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead and in tributaries. Known revegetation areas were not sampled. We aimed to collect leaf tissue from at least 15 individuals at each sample site. If there were fewer than 15 individuals per species at a site, leaf tissue was collected from every individual. Leaves were immediately dried and stored in silica gel. For P. fremontii, S. gooddingii, and P. glandulosa, total genomic DNA was extracted from dried leaf tissue using a high-molecular weight protocol with modifications. For S. exigua, DNeasy Plant Minikits were used. We amplified 9, 9, 11, and 13 loci for P. fremontii, S. gooddingii, S. exigua, and P. glandulosa, respectively. All loci were amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fragment analysis processed on an ABI 3730xl Genetic Analyzer with GeneScan LIZ500 internal size standard. Allele fragment sizes were scored using GeneMarker v2.2.0. Loci that were missing more than 5% of values, were not polymorphic, or could not be reliably scored were omitted. Nine loci were included for P. fremontii, six for S. gooddingii, eight for P. glandulosa, and nine for S. exigua. All species are diploid, so each microsatellite locus has two values. Associated with the microsatellite data are labels delineating what collection site each individual came from, which genetic group each individual was assigned to during statistical analyses, and information about those sites. Specifically, sites are noted as being on the Colorado River or on a tributary to it, and inside or outside of the canyon rims.

2010 profile-derived mean high water shorelines of the North Shore of MA used in shoreline change analysis

The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management launched the Shoreline Change Project in 1989 to identify erosion-prone areas of the coast. The shoreline position and change rate are used to inform management decisions regarding the erosion of coastal resources. In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast. In 2013 two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts were added using 2008-2009 color aerial orthoimagery and 2007 topographic lidar datasets obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center.
This 2018 update includes two new mean high water (MHW) shorelines for the Massachusetts coast extracted from lidar data collected between 2010-2014. The first new shoreline for the state includes data from 2010 along the North Shore and South Coast from lidar data collected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX). Shorelines along the South Shore and Outer Cape are from 2011 lidar data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Geospatial Program Office. Shorelines along Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard are from a 2012 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Post Sandy Topographic lidar survey. The second new shoreline for the North Shore, Boston, South Shore, Cape Cod Bay, Outer Cape, South Cape, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and South Coast west of Buzzards Bay is from 2013-2014 lidar data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program. Shorelines were extracted from these lidar surveys using several different methods dependent on the location of the shoreline and whether or not wave data were available.

Field-based bathymetric surveys of the Niobrara River, Nebraska, November 2012 and August 2016

Field measurements of water depth were collected from the Niobrara River, a dynamic, sand-bed channel in northern Nebraska, in November 2012 and again in August 2016 to support research on remote sensing of rivers, particularly retrieval of water depth and tracking of mobile bedforms.  These data were obtained by conducting topographic surveys with Trimble R8 and R10 RTK GPS receivers with a local base station and also by measuring depths with a SonTek RiverSurveyor S5 acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP).  The data are provided in a series of tables saved as *.csv files.  All tables include, at a minimum, easting and northing spatial coordinates and depths; other attributes in some of the tables include descriptive codes for survey points, time stamps, and cross-section numbers.

Baseline for the Georgia coastal region generated to calculate shoreline change rates using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 5

During Hurricane Irma in September 2017, Florida and Georgia experienced significant impacts to beaches, dunes, barrier islands, and coral reefs.  Extensive erosion and coral losses result in increased immediate and long-term hazards to shorelines that include densely populated regions. These hazards put critical infrastructure at risk to future flooding and erosion and may cause economic losses. The USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards Resources Program (CMHRP) is assessing hurricane-induced coastal erosion along the southeast US coastline and implications for vulnerability to future storms.

Niche model results predicting fundamentally suitable and unsuitable habitat for freshwater mussel concentrations in the Meramec Basin

This layer represents fundamentally suitable and unsuitable habitat for freshwater mussels in the Meramec Basin as modeled by these authors on May 17, 2017 based on spatial data ranging from 1990 to 2014.
Identification of habitat characteristics associated with the presence of freshwater mussels is challenging but crucial for the conservation of this declining fauna.  Most mussel species are found in multi-species assemblages suggesting that physical factors influence presence similarly across species. In lotic environments, geomorphic and hydraulic characteristics appear to be important factors for predicting mussel presence. We used maximum entropy (MaxEnt) modeling to evaluate hydrogeomorphic variables associated with mussel presence at a riverscape-scale along 530 river km of the Meramec River basin, USA. Mussel locations were obtained from an existing multi-year dataset, and hydrogeographic variables were derived using high-resolution, open-source datasets of aerial imagery and topography. The following hydrogeomorphic variables were associated with mussel presence: lateral channel stability, low-flow surface water availability, presence of gravel bars, and stream power, but presence of gravel bars appeared to be the most important variable. Identification of suitable habitat was strongly influenced by the distance to gravel bars, suggesting mussels are found near gravel bars. A subset of the data not used in model development was used to validate the final model. The validation locations fell almost exclusively and disproportionately in habitats that the model identified as suitable, suggesting that we identified common habitat requirements for multiple mussel species. These findings can inform how resource managers allocate survey, monitoring, and conservation efforts.

Developing a stochastic hydrological model for informing lake water level drawdown management

This data release consists of four datasets which were used for evaluating winter drawdown (WD) lakes to follow the Massachusetts general WD guidelines. The first dataset ("Water level observations.csv") provides water level monitoring data of 21 (18 WD and 3 non-WD) recreational lakes in Massachusetts from 2014 to 2018. The water levels were measured by paired nonvented pressure transducers (HOBO U20L-01) and processed by ContDataQC package to remove potential inaccurate observations. For better comparison between lakes, the water level was relativized to each lake's normal pool level. This dataset was used for understanding the hydrology of WD and non-WD lakes and validating the hydrological model that we developed for WD lakes. Details of the hydrological model were described in the software release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9C8BVY2). The second dataset ("Water level simulations.csv") is the hydrological model simulated daily water level (relative to each lake's normal pool level) time series of the WD lakes from the first dataset (15 lakes, 2014-2018). To validate the applicability of the model on simulating water levels in WD lakes, the actual drawdown rules were set in the model to recreate the historical water levels and compare with the in-situ observations in the first dataset. The third dataset ("Guideline_Eval_Dec1drawdown.csv") contains the probability of each WD lake reaching the drawdown level by Dec 1 which is required by the guidelines when selecting different drawdown magnitudes (1-6ft) by Dec 1 in 2015. 2016 and 2017. The fourth dataset (“Guidleine_Eval_Apr1refill.csv”) consists of the latest refill starting dates of each lake with different designed drawdown magnitude (1-6 ft) to ensure over 95% possibility for each WD lake to be fully refilled by Apr 1 in 2016, 2017, 2018.

HW2_Q45.TIF - Hawaii II - Central Hawaii U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (16 of 24) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology, launched a program using the Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic (GLORIA) sidescan-sonar system to study the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). From 1988 through 1991, the USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted several surveys within the U.S. EEZ off Hawaii. Nine surveys during that time period focused on the central Hawaii region. The results of these surveys were 24 digital mosaics of approximately a 2 degree by 2 degree area with a 50-meter pixel resolution.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018 Site 0211 land-water matrix

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, YYYY and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.
