AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Average annual rates of evapotranspiration, quick-flow runoff, and recharge for the CONUS, 2000-2013

This dataset includes 800m resolution long-term average estimates of the distribution of incoming precipitation and groundwater-sourced irrigation into contributions to the evapotranspiration (ET), quick-flow runoff, and effective recharge water budget components over the 2000-2013 time period, as well as annual estimates for the individual years. It also includes other data supporting the methods development that produced these maps, corresponding to the figures in the associated journal article. The estimates were developed with new empirical regressions for (1) quick-flow runoff data generated from a USGS-developed hydrograph separation program (PART) for 1434 gages as a function of surficial geology type (USGS), precipitation (PRISM), and soil hydraulic conductivity (STATSGO); and (2) long-term evapotranspiration from water balance estimates at 679 gages as a function of land cover (NLCD), precipitation (PRISM), and maximum, minimum, and mean daily temperature (PRISM), and a separate estimate for ET over open water. The recharge quantites close the water budget to sum to the total influx from precipitation. Irrigated water quantities reported in the 2005 USGS Water Use dataset are incorporated as effective additional precipitation. Estimates are included for both effective recharge, which reflects the quantity of water available to replenish the groundwater table, and total recharge, which also includes an estimate for the recharge quantity that was subsequently intercepted by riparian vegetation and converted to evapotranspiration. Methods are fully described in the associated accepted publication; this dataset will be updated with its complete citation when published.

Undersized Fire Mapping Program Thematic Burn Severity Mosaic for CONUS in 1997

This map layer is a thematic raster image of MTBS burn severity classes for all inventoried fires occurring in CONUS during calendar year 1997 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.

Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) Passive-Seismic Data Collected in the Cedar River Floodplain, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 2015

In April 2015, a total of 34 passive seismic surveys were conducted in the Cedar River Floodplain. The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method is a passive seismic technique that uses a three-component seismometer to measure the vertical and horizontal components of ambient seismic noise. Seismic noise in the range of approximately 0.1 to 1 Hertz (Hz) is caused by ocean waves, large regional storms, and tectonic sources. A resonance frequency (f0) is induced in the unconsolidated deposits when there is a substantial contrast (greater than 2:1) in shear-wave acoustic impedance between the overburden and the bedrock. The f0 is determined from the analysis of the spectral ratio of the horizontal and vertical components of the seismic data. The thickness of the overburden can be related to the f0.   In general, lower f0 relates to thicker sediments, and higher f0 relates to relatively thinner overburden.

150-meter bathymetry grid acquired in February and March of 2003 aboard the Ronald H. Brown on U.S. Geological Survey Cruise 2003-008-FA from the Puerto Rico Trench region (RB2003, Esri binary and ASCII grid, UTM zone 19, WGS84)

In 2002 and 2003, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conducted three exploration cruises (USGS Cruise 02051, NOAA RB0208, September 24 to 30, 2002; USGS Cruise 03008, NOAA RB0303, February 18 to March 7, 2003 and USGS Cruise 03032, NOAA RB0305, August 28 to September 4, 2003). These cruises mapped for the first time the morphology of this entire tectonic plate boundary stretching from the Dominican Republic in the west to the Lesser Antilles in the east, a distance of approximately 700 kilometers (430 miles). Observations from these three exploration cruises, coupled with computer modeling and published Global Positioning System (GPS) results and earthquake focal mechanisms have provided new information that is changing the evaluation of the seismic and tsunami hazard from this plate boundary. The observations collected during these cruises also contributed to the basic understanding of the mechanisms that govern plate tectonics, in this case, the creation of the island of Puerto Rico and the deep trench north of it. Results of the sea floor mapping have been an important component of the study of tsunami and earthquake hazards to the northeastern Caribbean and the U.S. Atlantic coast off the United States.

Raw sequencing and amplicon sequence variant data from bacterial communities shed by Montastraea cavernosa coral fragments into filtered seawater mesocosms

The files provided in this U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release (Kellogg and others, 2021) include an amplicon sequence variant (ASV) table and the raw 16S rRNA gene amplicon files from six microbial communities (Mcav17, Mcav18, McH-101, McH-103, McD-57, and McD-58) derived from mesocosms consisting of filtered seawater in which either healthy or diseased (stony coral tissue loss disease) fragments of Montastraea cavernosa had been incubated, as well as sequence files of a mock community and extraction kit blank. Mesocosms were inoculated at the Smithsonian Marine Station located in Fort Pierce, Florida, during two separate trips: one in October 2019 and the other in November 2020.
The coral fragments were collected between April 2018 and November 2020, from various locations throughout the Florida Keys. Mesocosms were set up by placing the coral fragments into filtered seawater for 4-5 days and then the fragments were removed so the water could be processed. The mock community was sequenced to assess any biases in the sequencing technology, while extraction blanks were sequenced to identify any contaminants in the DNA extraction kit.

Data release of "Dorning, M. A., D. V. Van Berkel, and D. J. Semmens. 2017. Integrating spatially explicit representations of landscape perceptions into land change research. Current Landscape Ecology Reports 2: 73-88

This data file contains a list of journal articles found in a recent search for research relevant to studying landscape perceptions. We collected all peer reviewed academic articles containing the keywords “landscape” and “perception” on the web of science resulting in 3497 records. To eliminate studies not directly addressing landscape perception we filtered out medical journal articles (n=1211). We also chose to limit our assessment to journals directly concerned with the landscape perception topic, omitting those with fewer than 5 articles pertaining to these keywords (n=1044). The abstract and title of the remaining articles (n=1242) were further scanned to discard irrelevant studies and evaluate specific methods and techniques employed resulting in a total of 584 articles. The list also includes some relevant information pertaining to the article, including the article abstract, methods used in the study, the location of the study, and whether or not the article considers change in perceptions over time.

Modified topobathymetric elevation data for Lake Powell

This dataset provides a modified version of the previously published Lake Powell topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM; Poppenga and others, 2020). The original TBDEM is comprised of four source datasets: (1) a 2017 1-meter multibeam bathymetric survey; (2) a 2018 topographic light detection and ranging (lidar) derived digital elevation model (DEM); (3) a historical topographic DEM that was interpolated from contours maps created in 1947 and 1959; and (4) interpolated topography where gaps existed in the bathymetric and lidar data or where historical data were not suitable (Poppenga and others, 2020). For this data release, two corrections were made to the TBDEM to address errors associated with the historic DEM and interpolated topography across data gaps: (1) filled in selected gaps of the TBDEM dataset that were corrected with the historic DEM but have since been filled with sediment; and (2) spliced alternate topographic data sources instead of the hydro-flattened elevations in the river channel upstream of the Colorado and San Juan River deltas. The modified TBDEM was generated in a horizontal projection of UTM Zone 12N, North American Datum of 1983, referenced to the North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88), Geoid 12b at a 1-meter horizontal resolution. The modified TBDEM and an updated spatial metadata shapefile detailing data sources used and modifications made to the TBDEM are included with this release.

St. Louis River estuary (Minnesota-Wisconsin) EFDC hydrodynamic model for discharge and temperature simulations: 2016–17

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, developed a predictive, mechanistic, three-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE), Minnesota. This model was developed with Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC), a grid-based, surface-water modeling package for simulating three-dimensional circulation, mass transport, sediments, and biogeochemical processes. The new model predicts discharge, water-surface elevations, flow velocity, and water temperature. The model was calibrated using data collected from April 2016 through November 2016 and validated with data collected from April 2017 through November 2017. The report summarizes both the development and calibration of the new model.

Short-term shoreline change rates for the Virginia coastal region using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 5.1

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has compiled national shoreline data for more than 20 years to document coastal change and serve the needs of research, management, and the public. Maintaining a record of historical shoreline positions is an effective method to monitor national shoreline evolution over time, enabling scientists to identify areas most susceptible to erosion or accretion. These data can help coastal managers and planners understand which areas of the coast are vulnerable to change.
This data release includes a compilation of previously published historical shoreline positions for Virginia spanning 148 years (1849-1997), and two new mean high water (MHW) shorelines extracted from lidar data collected in 2010 and 2017. These data provide a standardized shoreline database for the state. This release includes both long-term (up to 168 years) and short term (~20 years) rates. Files associated with the long-term and short-term rates are appended with "LT" and "ST", respectively. A proxy-datum bias reference line that accounts for the positional difference in a proxy shoreline (e.g. High Water Line (HWL) shoreline) and a datum shoreline (e.g. MHW shoreline) is also included in this release.
