Geospatial bathymetry datasets for Boyd Corners Reservoir, New York, 2017

From May 2017 to November 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted bathymetric surveys of New York City's East of Hudson Reservoirs. Bathymetry data were collected at Boyd Corners Reservoir during September 2017. 
Depth data were collected primarily with a multibeam echosounder. Quality assurance points were measured with a single-beam echosounder. Water surface elevations were established using real-time kinematic (RTK) and static global navigation satellite system (GNSS) surveys and submersible pressure transducers. Measured sound velocity profiles were used to correct echosounder depth measurements for thermal stratification. Digital elevation models were created by combining the measured bathymetry data with lidar elevation data surrounding the reservoirs; gaps in the combined data were estimated (for example the tops of submerged islands) or interpolated. 
Files included in this Data Release include: grids (tiff format) of reservoir bed elevation, data source, and cell data standard deviation; shapefiles of elevation contours at a 2-foot interval and of single-beam echosounder quality assurance points; and text files (comma-separated value format) of elevation-area-capacity table, measured GNSS points, water surface elevation time series (tides) used to process echosounder data, measured sound velocity profiles, and average sound velocity profiles used to process echosounder data.

Elevation Data from Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the Confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River, Colorado, 2020 (ver 2.0, May 2021)

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Colorado Springs Utilities, has been collecting topographic data annually since 2012 at 10 study areas along Fountain Creek, Colorado. The 10 study areas are located along Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the confluence of Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River in Pueblo. This data release presents topographic survey data, Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) survey data, and elevation rasters collected or generated during 2020 as part of that monitoring effort. Topographic survey points were collected using real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK-GNSS). These point data, along with lidar point clouds, were used to generate 2020 digital elevation maps. These survey data and maps provide an annual assessment of the geomorphic changes at each study area.
This data release was revised in 2021 with the addition of folder "Elevation_Change_Rasters_2020.zip." Included in this folder are elevation-change rasters generated from 2015 and 2020 digital elevation maps for each of the 10 study areas.

Database for the Geologic Map of Three Sisters Volcanic Cluster, Cascade Range, Oregon

A database of geologic map of Three Sisters Volcanic Cluster as described in the original abstract:
The geologic map represents part of a late Quaternary volcanic field within which scores of eruptions have taken place over the last 50,000 years, some as recently as ~1,500 years ago.  No rocks of early Pleistocene (or greater) age crop out within the map area, although volcanic and derivative sedimentary rocks of Miocene and Pliocene age are widespread to the east and west and are certainly buried beneath the younger volcanic field.  Of the 145 volcanic map units described herein, only 22 are certainly older than late Pleistocene (&gt;126 ka), and 12 are postglacial (&lt;15 ka).  The oldest unit identified yields an age of 532+/-7 ka, and the second oldest, 374+/-6 ka.  Compositionally, 10 percent of the units are true basalt; 36 percent, basaltic andesite; 20 percent, andesite; 21.5 percent, dacite; and only 12.5 percent, rhyodacite or rhyolite.  Most of the 145 volcanic map units described herein are newly defined, although equivalents of several were described by Taylor, 1978, 1987; Scott, 1987; and Scott and Gardner, 1992.  Each is an eruptive unit derived from a single vent or fissure.  Some are simple flow units, but many are shields, cones, or stacks of several lava flows that have chemical and mineralogical coherence. Each unit was delineated by field mapping on foot and its integrity confirmed, challenged, or revised by chemical and microscopic work in the laboratory.  Definition of a few units required iterative acquisition of field and lab data over a period of years, providing a firm basis for subdividing, lumping, or correlating slightly heterogeneous sequences of lavas.  Most units have narrow compositional ranges, but some show zoning or heterogeneity spanning ranges of a few percent SiO2.

Model of potential multiphase methane evolution in the subsurface of Southern Ontario across a wide range of initial gas contents

Numerical modeling was performed to analyze the impacts of potential multiphase conditions on long-term subsurface pressure evolution in subsurface systems. An example site on the Bruce Peninsula in Southern Ontario, Canada was selected due to the large amount of available, high-quality data showing significantly underpressured water and the possible presence of gas phase methane. The system was represented by a 1-D model in which multiphase flow and hydromechanical coupling during the last glacial loading and unloading cycle were simulated. Single-phase flow simulations were performed with the USGS single-phase flow simulator SUTRA, and then both single- and multiphase simulations were performed with the multiphase simulator iTOUGH2-EOS7C (herein simply "TOUGH") from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This model archive data release contains all the input and output files for the simulations and is intended to accompany an article in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth (https://doi.org/10.1029/2021JB023322). Descriptions of the data in each subdirectory are given to facilitate understanding of this model archive. File descriptions are provided for select files to provide additional information for understanding this model archive. Support is provided for correcting errors in the data release and clarification of the modeling conducted by the U.S. Geological  Survey. Users are encouraged to review the complete journal article (https://doi.org/10.1029/2021JB023322) to understand the purpose, documentation report construction, and limitations of this model.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.0 transects with bluff rate change calculations for the north coast of Barter Island Alaska, 1950 to 2020

This dataset consists of rate-of-change statistics for the coastal bluffs at Barter Island, Alaska for the time period 1950 to 2020. Rate calculations were computed within a GIS using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.0, an ArcGIS extension developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. A reference baseline was used as the originating point for the orthogonal transects cast by the DSAS software. The transects intersect each bluff line establishing measurement points, which are then used to calculate bluff-change rates.

Historical coastal bluff edge positions at Barter Island, Alaska for the years spanning 1950 to 2020

This dataset includes one vector shapefile delineating the position of the top edge of the coastal permafrost bluffs at Barter Island, Alaska spanning seven decades, between the years of 1950 and 2020. Bluff-edge positions delineated from a combination of aerial photography, declassified satellite photography, and very-high resolution satellite imagery can be used to quantify the movement of the bluff edge through time. These data were used to calculate rates of change every 10 meters alongshore using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.0. DSAS uses a measurement baseline method to calculate rate-of-change statistics. Transects are cast from the reference baseline to intersect each bluff edge vector, establishing measurement points used to calculate bluff change rates.

Electrical Resistivity Tomography Data at Elizabeth Lake, Los Angeles County, California, 2019

The Santa Clara River Lakes, located along the San Andreas fault 19 miles northwest of Palmdale, California, were placed on the state’s “303(d) List” or “Impaired Water List” in 1996 for eutrophic conditions, high pH, and low dissolved oxygen. In 2016, the state adopted a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in the Santa Clara River Lakes. This study focuses on the largest of the three lakes, Lake Elizabeth, which is surrounded by the unincorporated town of Elizabeth Lake, CA. The local community uses on-site wastewater treatment systems instead of a centralized sewer system, resulting in potential contamination of groundwater. In response to concerns over the quality of water in the area and fluctuating water levels in Elizabeth Lake, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) cooperated with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board to assess hydrologic conditions and water quality near Elizabeth Lake. As part of this work, the USGS did electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) survey lines at two locations across the southern edge of the lake near the community in March 2019.

Estimated equivalent population using public supply groundwater in the conterminous United States, CEM

The population using public supply drinking water was mapped in two ways: the census enhanced method (CEM) evenly distributes the population across the census block-group, and  the urban land-use enhanced method (ULUEM) distributes the population only to certain urban land use designations in order to more precisely locate public supply users. This dataset consists of the estimated population using public supply groundwater distributed across census block-groups.

Community public supply based Hydrogeologic Mapping Units

A seamless map of the major groundwater areas used by community public supply wells in the United States was needed in order to describe and compute the number of equivalent people using public supply water. This goal was met by the delineation of hydrogeologic mapping units (HMUs). An HMU is a mapped polygon, within which, all public supply wells have a common source of water. The source of water can be either a national Principal Aquifer (PA) as defined in USGS (2003) or a Secondary Hydrogeologic Region (SHR) as defined in Belitz et al. (2018). Collectively, both PAs and SHRs are referred to as Hydrogeologic Regions (HRs). The common source of water can be a single HR or multiple HRs, as HRs can overlap one another. The proportion of the wells assigned to an HR within an HMU determined the proportion that an HR was assigned to the HMU. In the case of the glacial HR, pumping rates were also used. The boundaries of the HMUs are derived from established PA and SHR boundaries. Likewise, the name of the HMU is derived from the PA or SHR from which it was based. Although an HMU may have been named and derived its boundary from an HR, the public supply wells within it may be getting water from a completely different (overlapping or underlaying) HR. In total, 177 unique HMUs were created.  
The HMU polygons have several beneficial properties. There are no overlapping polygons. The HMUs are internally consistent with the original source HRs and their buried extents. At least 95% of the wells located within an HMU source their water from HRs within the HMU.  The HMU boundary only contains areas where an HR can exist. 
See the related publication information for more descriptive information about this dataset and the process to create it.
