Geologic Map of the Fittstown 7.5â Quadrangle, Pontotoc and Johnston Counties, Oklahoma - Data Release

This 1:24,000-scale geologic map includes new geologic mapping as well as compilation and revision of previous geologic maps.  Field investigations were conducted from 2009-2011, while also mapping and investigating the geology and hydrology of the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, west of the map area.
The Fittstown quadrangle is in the northeastern part of the Arbuckle Mountains.  The Arbuckle Mountains are composed of a thick sequence of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks that overlie Early Cambrian and Precambrian igneous rocks; these latter rocks are not exposed in the quadrangle.  From middle to late Pennsylvanian time, the Arbuckle Mountains region was folded, faulted, and uplifted.  Periods of erosion followed these Pennsylvanian mountain-building events, beveling this region and ultimately developing the current subtle topography that includes hills and incised uplands.  The southern and northwestern parts of the Fittstown quadrangle are directly underlain by Lower Ordovician dolomite of the Arbuckle Group that has eroded to form a broad, stream-incised upland containing the broad, gently southeast-plunging, Pennsylvanian-age Hunton anticline.  The northeastern part of the map area is underlain by Middle Ordovician to Pennsylvanian limestone, shale, and sandstone units that predominantly dip northeast and form the northeastern limb of the Hunton anticline; this limb is cut by steeply dipping, northwest-southeast striking faults of the Franks fault zone.  This limb and the Franks fault zone define the southwestern margin of the Franks Graben, which is underlain by Pennsylvanian rocks in the northeast part of the map area.

Boat-based river bathymetry and stream velocity on the upper Willamette River, Oregon, Spring 2015

River bathymetry and stream velocity measurements were collected in March 2015 along the upper Willamette River, Oregon, between Eugene and Corvallis. These surveys were collected over a small range of discharges using a real time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) on a motorboat while transecting at various cross sections along the river. These datasets were collected for equipment calibration and validation for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission. This is one of multiple survey datasets that will be released for this effort.

A Database of Peak Streamflow Derived from Interpretations of Indirect Measurements for a Crest-Stage Gage Network in Texas through Water Year 2015

In 2006, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation, began collecting annual and approximately quarterly-series peak streamflow data at streamflow-gaging stations in small- to medium-sized watersheds in central and western Texas, along with selected flood-hydrograph data at a subset of these stations. The data were primarily collected from a type of USGS streamflow-gaging station known as a crest-stage gage (CSG) station. The CSGs record peak stage, or maximum gage height (elevation of water surface above a local vertical datum), at the stations during storm events. Established and widely-used indirect methods of peak streamflow estimation, such as culvert-flow, slope-area, and flow-over-road methods, are used in conjunction with peak gage-height data to create the database of peak streamflow described herein.  
The data collected during 2006–15 at the CSG network in central and western Texas were collected at some of the same locations where peak-streamflow data were collected during 1966–74, 1994–97 and 2005. A database of 832 peak streamflow records for which 469 peaks are determined to be the annual peak for the corresponding water year is documented through water year 2015 for 52 CSG stations. The water year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends. Because of the complex nature and vagaries of field-data collection along with uncertainties in minimum-computable streamflow for any particular station and circumstances in time, many of the reported peak streamflows are listed as either inequalities (less than or greater than a streamflow threshold) or intervals (streamflow within a lower and upper bounds). The database reported represents an important intermediate milestone in the 20-year planning horizon of the CSG network.

Historic Simulation of Net Ecosystem Carbon Balance for the Great Dismal Swamp

Estimating ecosystem carbon (C) balance relative to natural disturbances and land management strengthens our understanding of the benefits and tradeoffs of carbon sequestration. We conducted a historic model simulation of net ecosystem C balance in the Great Dismal Swamp, VA. for the 30-year time period of 1985-2015. The historic simulation of annual carbon flux was calculated with the Land Use and Carbon Scenario Simulator (LUCAS) model. The LUCAS model utilizes a state-and-transition simulation model coupled with a carbon stock-flow accounting model to estimate net ecosystem C balance, and long term sequestration rates under various ecological conditions and management strategies. The historic model simulation uses age-structured forest growth curves for four forest species, C stock and flow rates for 8 pools and 14 fluxes, and known data for disturbance and management. The annualized results of C biomass are provided in this data release in the following categories: Growth, Heterotrophic Respiration (Rh), Net Ecosystem Production (NEP), Net Biome Production (NBP), Below-ground Biomass (BGB) Stock, Above-ground Biomass (AGB) Stock, AGB Carbon Loss from Fire, BGB Carbon Loss from Fire, Deadwood Carbon Loss from Management, and Total Carbon Loss. The table also includes the area (annually) of each forest type in hectares: Atlantic white cedar Area (hectares); Cypress-gum Area (hectares); Maple-gum Area (hectares); Pond pine Area (hectares). Net ecosystem production for the Great Dismal Swamp (~ 54,000 ha), from 1985 to 2015 was estimated to be a net sink of 0.97 Tg C. When the hurricane and six historic fire events were modeled, the Great Dismal Swamp became a net source of 0.89 Tg C. The cumulative above and belowground C loss estimated from the South One in 2008 and Lateral West fire in 2011 totaled 1.70 Tg C, while management activities removed an additional 0.01 Tg C. The C loss in below-ground biomass alone totaled 1.38 Tg C, with the balance (0.31 Tg C) coming from above-ground biomass and detritus. The LUCAS model is free and available to download (see source metadata) and can be used for multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Topobathy grid representing the backshore to the nearshore environment at Marconi Beach, Wellfleet from data taken during field activity 2021-022-FA on March 10 and 17, 2021

The data in this publication map the beach and nearshore environment at Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, MA and provide regional context for the 2021 CoastCam installation that looks out at the coast shared by beachgoers, shorebirds, seals, and sharks. These data were collected as part of field activity 2021-022-FA and a collaboration with the National Park Service at Cape Cod National Seashore to monitor the region that falls within the field of view of CoastCam CACO-02, which are two video cameras aimed at the beach. Starting in February and ending in March 2021, U.S Geological Survey and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists conducted field surveys to collect position and orientation information for the CoastCam cameras and map the field of view. Two new reference marks were established in the Marconi Beach parking area to establish ground control for future surveys. Elevation data were collected using a real time kinematic – satellite navigation system (RTK-GNSS) receiver attached to a pole and walked on the beach. Point data of the beach face were collected along transects. Grain-size analysis was performed on sediment samples collected with a spade along multiple profiles from the bluff base to the intertidal zone. Aerial images of the beach for use in Structure-from-Motion were taken with a camera (Ricoh GRII) and a post-processed kinematic (PPK) system attached to a helium powered balloon-kite (Helikite) and high-precision GPS targets (AeroPoints) were used as ground control points. Bathymetry was collected in the nearshore using a single-beam echosounder mounted on a surf capable self-righting electric autonomous survey vehicle. Agisoft Metashape (v. 1.7.2) was used to create a digital elevation model with the collected imagery and this was merged with the bathymetry in MATLAB (v. 2020) to create a continuous topobathy product.

Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the Elwha River delta, Washington, August 2012

This part of the data release presents a digital elevation model (DEM) derived from bathymetry and topography data of the Elwha River delta collected in August 2012. Two dams on the Elwha River, Washington State, USA trapped over 20 million m3 of sediment, reducing downstream sediment fluxes and contributing to erosion of the river's coastal delta. The removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams between 2011 and 2014 induced massive increases in river sediment supply and provided an unprecedented opportunity to examine the response of a delta system to changes in sediment supply. The U.S. Geological Survey developed an integrated research program aimed at understanding the ecosystem responses following dam removal that included regular monitoring of coastal and nearshore bathymetry and topography. As part of this monitoring program, the USGS conducted a bathymetric and topographic survey in the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the Elwha River delta, Washington (USGS Field Activity Number W-05-12-PS). Bathymetry data were collected using two survey vessels, each equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. Topography data were collected on foot with GNSS receivers mounted on backpacks. DEM surfaces were produced from all available elevation data using linear interpolation.

Surface-sediment grain-size distributions from the Elwha River delta, Washington, August 2012

This portion of the data release presents sediment grain-size data from samples collected on the Elwha River delta, Washington, in August 2012 (USGS Field Activity W-05-12-PS). Surface sediment was sampled using a small ponar, or 'grab', sampler between August 28 and August 30, 2012 from the R/V Frontier at a total of 57 locations in water depths between about 1 and 9 m around the delta. The locations of grab samples were determined with a hand-held global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The grain-size distributions of samples were determined using standard techniques developed by the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment lab. Grab samples that yielded less than 50 g of sediment were omitted from analysis and are classified as "no sample". The grain-size data are provided in a comma-delimited spreadsheet (.csv).

Velocity profiling at the US Army Corps of Engineers Electric Dispersal Barrier in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal during passage of fully loaded commercial tows: Barge Mounted Channel Master in August 2016

In 2016, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a large-scale interagency field study to determine the influence of commercial barge vessels on the efficacy of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in preventing fish passage. This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and six fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 23) and downstream-bound (n = 22) directions. 
A 1,200 kHz Teledyne RDI Channel Master Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM) was mounted on the barge at the position of the rake-to-box junction. The ADVM faced outward from the side of the barge (side-looking) and was placed at a depth of 1.4 meters below the water surface. The ADVM was located at a distance of 0.7 meters from the box side of the gap (measured toward the rake), and recessed 0.93 meters into the gap as measured perpendicular to the side of the barge. 
The side-looking ADVM measured horizontal profiles of streamwise and cross-stream components of velocity at 35 bins spaced by 0.5 meters starting at 0.8 meters and up to 17.8 meters measured perpendicular to the side of the barge, unless the barge was within 17.8 meters of the West canal wall. All velocity measurements represent an average of 10 pings, recorded every 10 seconds during measurement.
A Hemisphere V102(TM) differential GPS (dGPS) with Doppler-based heading was mounted on the box side of the rake-to-box junction and synchronized with the side-looking ADVM. The dGPS provided sub-meter accuracy positions, heading (accuracy ± 0.75°), and speed of the tow at a sampling frequency of 10 Hz. The time-stamped velocity measurements from the barge-mounted ADVM was matched to the nearest-in-time dGPS position and corrected for the velocity of the moving tow. Once corrected for the movement of the tow, the velocity data were rotated into the local streamwise-normal coordinate system, such that reported streamwise velocities are parallel to the banklines of the CSSC at the EDBS and positive downstream, and reported cross-stream velocities are perpendicular to the banklines and positive toward the east canal bank. All ADVM velocity time series data are included in this data release as Comma Separated Value (CSV) files.

Velocity profiling at the US Army Corps of Engineers Electric Dispersal Barrier in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal during passage of fully loaded commercial tows: Barge Mounted Argonaut SW in August 2016

In 2016, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a large-scale interagency field study to determine the influence of commercial barge vessels on the efficacy of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in preventing fish passage. This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and six fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 23) and downstream-bound (n = 22) directions. 
A 3,000 kHz SonTek Argonaut SW Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM) was mounted on the barge at the position of the rake-to-box junction. The ADVM faced outward from the side of the barge (side-looking) and was placed at a depth of 1.4 meters below the water surface. The ADVM was located at a distance of 0.8 meters from the box side of the gap (measured toward the rake), and recessed 0.93 meters into the gap as measured perpendicular to the side of the barge side.
The side-looking ADVM measured horizontal profiles of streamwise and cross-stream components of velocity at 10 bins spaced by 0.5 meters between -0.47 meters and 5.53 meters measured perpendicular to the side of the barge, where the negative sign indicates that the start of the first ADVM bin was located within the rake-to-box gap. All velocity measurements represent an average of 10 pings, recorded every 10 seconds during measurement.
A Hemisphere V102(TM) differential GPS (dGPS) with Doppler-based heading was mounted on the box side of the rake-to-box junction and synchronized with the side-looking ADVM. The dGPS provided sub-meter accuracy positions, heading (accuracy ± 0.75°), and speed of the tow at a sampling frequency of 10 Hz. The time-stamped velocity measurements from the barge-mounted ADVM was matched to the nearest-in-time dGPS position and corrected for the velocity of the moving tow.

Data for comparison of climate envelope models developed using expert-selected variables versus statistical selection

The data we used for this study include species occurrence data (n=15 species), climate data and predictions, an expert opinion questionnaire, and species masks that represented the model domain for each species. For this data release, we include the results of the expert opinion questionnaire and the species model domains (or masks). We developed an expert opinion questionnaire to gather information regarding expert opinion regarding the importance of climate variables in determining a species geographic range. The species masks, or model domains, were defined separately for each species using a variation of the “target-group” approach (Phillips et al. 2009), where the domain was determine using convex polygons including occurrence data for at least three phylogenetically related and similar species (Watling et al. 2012).
The species occurrence data, climate data, and climate predictions are freely available online, and therefore not included in this data release. The species occurrence data were obtained primarily from the online database Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; http://www.gbif.org/), and from scientific literature (Watling et al. 2011). Climate data were obtained from the WorldClim database (Hijmans et al. 2005) and climate predictions were obtained from the Center for Ocean-Atmosphere Prediction Studies (COAPS) at Florida State University (https://floridaclimateinstitute.org/resources/data-sets/regional-downscaling).
