Map data from landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria in four study areas of Puerto Rico

In September 2017, Hurricane Maria caused widespread landsliding throughout mountainous regions of Puerto Rico. Nearly all landslides mobilized as debris flows (Bessette-Kirton et al., 2019), but herein, we simply use the term “landslides” when describing all types of slope failures that occurred during Hurricane Maria. To examine the extent and physical characteristics of landslides in severely impacted areas (defined as having high landslide density (&gt;25 landslides/km2) by Bessette-Kirton et al., 2017, 2019), we mapped individual landslides at scales between 1:600 and 1:1,000 in four 2.5 km2 study areas in the Mayagüez/Añasco/Las Marías (LAM1), Las Marías/Lares (LAM2), Naranjito (NAR), and Utuado (UTU) municipalities. We used aerial imagery collected between 9-15 October 2017 (Quantum Spatial, Inc., 2017) to map landslide source and runout areas. In addition to imagery, we used 1 m-resolution pre-event LiDAR (U.S. Geological Survey, 2018) as a digital base map for our mapping. 
The map data consist of landslide polygons, headscarp points, and travel distance lines. Each landslide polygon includes the total affected area (LSArea) and the number of mapped headscarp points (HeadscarpPoints). Each headscarp point contains attributes for the elevation measured at the distal end of the associated travel distance line (MinElev), the elevation at the headscarp point (MaxElev), slope at the headscarp point (Slope), aspect at the headscarp point (Aspect), the length of the associated maximum travel distance line (MaxTravelDist), and the ratio of total fall height (H: MaxElev-MinElev) to maximum travel distance (L: MaxTravelDist). Each travel distance line includes the length of the line (MaxTravelDist). Areas containing a combination of landslide and flood deposits were mapped as landslide/flood deposits (LSFlood). The data also include study area boundaries (AOIs). The data are provided as ArcGIS point, line, and polygon feature class files, all of which are contained within a file geodatabase (PRMariaLandslides.gdb).

Seepage-run discharge measurements, June 25, 2021, Pi'ina'au Stream, Maui, Hawai'i

This data release contains a comma-delimited ascii file of nine same-day, discrete discharge measurements made at sites along selected reaches of Pi'ina'au Stream, Maui, Hawai'i on June 25, 2021. These discrete discharge measurements form what is commonly referred to as a “seepage run.” The intent of the seepage run is to quantify the spatial distribution of streamflow along the reach during fair-weather, low-flow conditions, generally characterized by negligible direct runoff within the reach. The measurements can be used to characterize the net seepage of water into (water gain) or out of (water loss) the stream channel between measurement sites provided that the measurements were made during stable, nonchanging flow conditions (or, in some cases, were made simultaneously during transient flow conditions) and external surface inflows (for example, a tributary) or outflows (for example, a diversion) of water to the reach are quantified and accounted for in the computation of net seepage.

Digital true-color photographs of bluffs and ground control points from unoccupied aerial system operations in Ludington, MI, July 11, 2019, and July 14, 2021

Images were collected using a remotely piloted unoccupied aerial system (UAS) over the bluffs of the eastern shore of Lake Michigan in Ludington, MI, a rural natural area to assess land changes. The digital imagery was collected with the internal camera of a DJI Phantom 3 PRO for 2019 data and DJI Phantom 4 PRO for 2021 data that was operated by the University of Toledo. The images cover an extent between north of Chauvez Rd. to the south and north of W. Bradshaw Rd. to the north. Images were collected to monitor active bluff erosion in the area. The images are presented here in zipped files grouped by type of collection, nadir and oblique and survey date. The images were collected in .jpg format with red, green, blue (RGB) information and include Exif default metadata with GPS date, time, latitude and longitude, and other fields. These files were used in structure-from-motion (SfM) processing to obtain georeferenced 3D data. 
The 2019 data were processed using seven ground control points (GCPs), and the 2021 data with ten GCPs. The GCPs are provided here as two comma separated value files (CSV) with four columns as follows: Label, X-Easting, Y-Northing, and Z-Elevation in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone 16N and orthometric heights in North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), derived using geoid 12B.

Undersized Fire Mapping Program Thematic Burn Severity Mosaic for CONUS in 1985

This map layer is a thematic raster image of MTBS burn severity classes for all inventoried fires occurring in CONUS during calendar year 1985 that do not meet standard MTBS size criteria. These data are published to augment the data that are available from the MTBS program. This product was produced using the methods of the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity Program (MTBS), however these fires do not meet the size criteria for a standard MTBS assessment. The MTBS Program assesses the frequency, extent, and magnitude (size and severity) of all large wildland fires (wildfires and prescribed fires) in the conterminous United States (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico for the period 1984 and beyond. MTBS typically maps fires using an initial assessment (immediately after the fire) or an extended assessment (peak of green the season after the fire) for low-biomass and high-biomass fires respectively. Refer to MTBS.gov for more information on MTBS methods and criteria. Standard MTBS mappings must meet the size criteria of at least 500 acres for the eastern states and territories and 1,000 acres for the western states and territories to be eligible for mapping. Undersized MTBS fires are those fires that do not meet the standard MTBS size criteria but are otherwise mapped using standard MTBS methodologies.

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery: Dauphin Island, Alabama (Polyline:  Combined Dates)

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery:  Dauphin Island, Alabama (Polyline: Combined Dates) is a line shapefile representing shorelines generated from satellite imagery that was collected from 1984 to 2015.  The sample frequency of satellite imagery is much higher, and the coverage much greater, than most routine high-resolution topographic surveys.  Certain aspects of barrier island morphology, such as island size, shape and position, can be determined from these images and can indicate erosion, land loss, and island breakup.  Studying how these characteristics evolve will help develop an understanding of how barrier islands will respond to climate change, sea level rise, and major storms in the future and that will serve to improve management of our coastal resources.

02031 - Geophysical Surveys of Bear Lake, Utah-Idaho, September 2002 - Shot Point Navigation 500 shot interval (CHRP_500)

Bear Lake is a tectonic lake that has existed for at least several hundred thousand years. The lake basin is a relatively simple half graben, a spoon-shaped depression tilted toward the main fault on the east side of the lake. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with researchers from several universities, has been studying the sediments of Bear Lake since 1996. The general purpose of this effort is to reconstruct past limnological conditions and regional climate on a range of timescales, from hundreds of years to hundreds of thousands of years. This research relates to a variety of human concerns, including water usage in the Bear River basin. Past work has included several coring operations, a seismic-reflection survey, sediment-trap deployments, a barge-mounted drilling operation with the GLAD800 drill rig, and a variety of other studies.
The objectives of the September, 2002 operations, preliminarily reported here, were (1) to compile a detailed bathymetric map of the lake using swath-mapping techniques, in order to provide baseline data for a variety of applications and studies, and (2) to complete a sidescan-sonar survey of the lake, providing a nearly complete acoustic image of the lake floor. Limited amounts of subbottom acoustic-reflection data (chirp) were also collected, along with samples of lake-floor sediments representative of different kinds of backscatter patterns.  These surveys followed an earlier subbottom acoustic-reflection survey (1997), using boomer and 3.5 kHz systems (S. M. Colman, unpublished data).

1992 digital surface model Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park, California

One of the largest hydraulic mines (1.6 km2) is located in California’s Sierra Nevada within the Humbug Creek watershed and Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park (MDSHP). MDSHP’s denuded and dissected landscape is composed of weathered Eocene auriferous sediments susceptible to chronic rill and gully erosion whereas block failures and debris flows occur in more cohesive terrain. This data release includes a 1992 digital surface model (DSM), 1992 orthophoto mosaic, masked orthophoto of the study area, 1992 ground cover classification, and 1992 pruned DSM with the vegetation bias removed. Stereo-photogrammetry was used to create a 1992 digital surface model (DSM) and orthophoto mosaic from archived aerial photographs. These datasets can be used to map vegetation and topographic change and to quantify volumetric differences and estimate erosion rates by co-referencing and differencing the 1992 DSM from more recent bare earth digital elevation models. Any direct volumetric comparison using these datasets should consider the horizontal and vertical minimum thresholds of significance as well as vegetation bias. The original DSM was derived using stereo photogrammetry and includes all vegetation components. To facilitate topographic change analysis a pruned DSM was created. The vegetation bias was removed from the pruned DSM using a ground cover classification. It is recommended that the pruned DSM be used for any topographic or volumetric change analysis.

2021 Illinois Waterway Aerial Imagery Mosaics - Starved Rock 4-Band

The Corps of Engineers' Rock Island District is planning an unprecedented closure of the Illinois Waterway in 2020 in order to perform required maintenance on locks. Aerial imagery will document river conditions prior to the closure (2019) and after the locks are reopened (2021). Under a separate but related effort, aerial imagery of the entire Illinois Waterway will be collected in 2020 as part of the decadal Upper Mississippi River System Land Cover/Land Use mapping project. 
The imagery has a resolution of approximately 0.4 meter/pixel (16 inches). The imagery was collected on September 16 and 17, 2021 with a Phase One iXU-R 180 RGB camera co-mounted with a Phase One iXU-RS 160 Achromatic camera to create 4-band imagery that can be displayed as either true-color (RGB) or color-infrared (CIR).
