Dependence of sedimentation rate and behavior on pore fluid chemistry for pure, endmember fines

The safety, effectiveness and longevity of many construction and geotechnical engineering projects rely on correctly accounting for the evolution of soil properties over time. Critical sediment properties, such as compressibility, can change in response to pore-fluid chemistry changes, particularly if the sediment contains appreciable concentrations of fine-grained materials. Pore-fluid changes act at the micro scale, altering interactions between sediment particles, or between sediment particles and the pore fluid. These micro-scale alterations change how sediment fabrics and void ratios develop, which directly impacts macro-scale properties such as sediment compressibility. The goal of this study is to correlate sediment compressibility, a macro-scale property, to the micro-scale pore-fluid chemistry effects and ultimately to the electrical sensitivity for each sediment. Such a correlation would allow compressibility behavior to be estimated from knowledge of the index properties and mineralogy profile for each sediment. The data in this release support the correlation effort by providing: 1) sedimentation results that provide insight into micro-scale sediment fabric and void ratio dependence on sediment/fluid interactions, and 2) consolidation results that quantify the macro-scale compressibility and recompressibility parameters for a suite of fine-grained sediments and differing pore fluids. The related journal publication (Jang and others, 2018) demonstrates how the macro-scale compressibility and recompressibility results from the consolidation tests are linked back, through the sediment fabric and void ratio data from the sedimentation tests, to the micro-scale impact of pore-fluid chemistry and sediment electrical sensitivity.

Data for Biogeochemical and Physical Processes Controlling Mercury Methylation and Bioaccumulation in Lake Powell, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah and Arizona, 2014-2015

This dataset includes the field measurements and laboratory analyses of surface water, seston, and sediment collected from Lake Powell, within Glen Canyon National Recreation area (GLCA), during high flow (May-June 2014) and low flow (August 2015) conditions. The study area includes 12-13 sampling sites that follow a transect spanning the entire length of the reservoir from the Colorado River inflow to the Glen Canyon dam, as well as the San Juan River arm, the Escalante River arm and West Canyon. Bed sediment samples were analyzed for mercury speciation, methylmercury production and degradation rates, total reduced sulfur, iron speciation, organic content, and 16S rRNA gene templates as a proxy for microbial abundances. Water samples were collected from 3-5 depths at each site and analyzed for: total mercury (filtered and particulate), methylmercury (filtered and particulate), dissolved organic and inorganic carbon with 13C isotopic ratios, nutrients, anions, cations, trace metals, particulate carbon (with 13C isotopic ratios) and particulate nitrogen (with 15N isotopic ratios). Water quality sonde (EXO) field measurements included specific conductivity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, fluorescent dissolved organic matter, chlorophyll, and turbidity. Fish samples were also collected during November 2014 from Good Hope Bay (upper reservoir), Wahweap Bay (lower reservoir), and the San Juan arm and assayed for total mercury for comparison with previous striped bass samples collected by the state of Utah. There are nine files (*.csv) in this dataset: 1) data dictionary ; 2) sediment data; 3) water data; 4) seston data; 5) fish data; 6) EXO main channel profile data ; 7) EXO off channel profile data; 8) quality assurance data; and 9) molecular data.

Curve Fit regression tool adjusted R-squared outputs for wild celery, wild rice and arrowhead for pools 4, 8, and 13 on the Upper Mississippi River system from 1998-2019

A geodatabase was developed to compile Curve Fit (Version 10.1; De Jager and Fox, 2013) regression tool adjusted R-squared outputs for wild celery (Vallisneria americana), wild rice (Zizania aquatica) and arrowhead (one raster for the sum of Sagittaria rigida and Sagittaria latifolia) for pools 4, 8, and 13 on the Upper Mississippi River system from 1998-2019 using mapped abundance raster datasets. Relative abundance, for submersed species and filamentous algae, represents the sum of rake scores across the six subsites divided by the maximum possible rake score (30) at each site, multiplied by 100 (0-100%). Percent cover, for emersed, rooted floating-leaved and free-floating lifeforms, represents the maximum % cover for each category (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100%). Each explanatory variable (year) was paired with the corresponding raster by pool. Curve Fit was used to estimate the linear relationship between year and pixel value (one relative abundance/percent cover value per year) and create an output raster containing parameter estimates, model error, and r2. The adjusted R-squared is a modified version of R-squared that has been adjusted for the number of predictors in the model. Outputs were developed at two temporal scales: 1998-2019 and 2010-2019.

Single-Beam Bathymetry Sounding Data of Estero Bay, Florida (2003) in XYZ format

The Estero Bay watershed is under significant development pressure with potential impacts on storm water runoff characteristics, and changes in salinity patterns, nutrient and turbidity levels.  Environmental quality in the bay is particularly vulnerable to future degradation due to increasing urbanization and the Bay's limited volume. In recent years, the Caloosahatchee Estuary system has also been impacted due to development and water management activities. These impacts have prompted the development of Minimum Flows and Levels (MFLs) for the Caloosahatchee River by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). A District revision of the MFLs for the Caloosahatchee River and Estero Bay regions required the development of hydrodynamic and water quality models.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with SFWMD, performed a bathymetric survey of lower Estero Bay using single-beam and aircraft-based lidar systems. High resolution, acoustic and lidar bathymetric surveying are proven methods to map sea and river floor elevations. Survey track-lines were spaced 250-meters apart orientated along long axis of the river, bays, and estuaries.  Several perimeter survey lines were also collected.
This report serves as an archive of processed lidar bathymetry data that were collected in Estero Bay, Florida in 2003. Geographic Information System (GIS) data products include XYZ data, bathymetric contours, and a USGS quadrangle map. Additional files include formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata.

Potential Explanatory Variables for Groundwater Quality in the Redding-Red Bluff Shallow Aquifer Assessment Study Unit, 2018-2019: California GAMA Priority Basin Project

This data release codifies and attributes explanatory variables that could potentially influence groundwater quality at 50 groundwater wells used for domestic water supply and 43 groundwater sites used for public water supply in the U.S. Geological Survey’s Priority Basin Project  Redding-Red Bluff shallow aquifer (NSV-SA) study unit in 2018-2019 and Northern Sacramento Valley public-supply (NSV-PA) study unit in 2007, respectively. Water quality from domestic and public-supply groundwater sites was assessed as part of the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) program.  The NSV-SA and NSV-PA study units include domestic and public-supply wells within sedimentary aquifers of the Central Valley province of California in Shasta and Tehama Counties. Study design and site selection for the NSV-SA and NSV-PA study units are detailed by Shelton and others (2020) and Bennett and others (2007), respectively. Potential explanatory factors are attributed to  groundwater sites relating to: aquifer lithology, land use (percent agricultural, urban, and natural land use),  septic tank and underground storage densities, distance to geothermal sites, hydrologic conditions (aridity index, elevation of the groundwater site), well construction (well depth, depth to the top of the open or perforated interval), groundwater age (tritium, carbon-14 and age classification), geochemical condition (pH, dissolved oxygen, groundwater redox classification).
This data release contains a tab-delimited text file containing locations and potential explanatory factors for domestic groundwater sites (Table 1), a tab-delimited text file containing locations and potential explanatory factors for public groundwater sites (Table 2), and a data dictionary.

Bathymetry and Velocity Data from Surveys at Highway Bridges Crossing the Missouri River between Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri, January 2010 through May 2017

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) and depth-averaged velocities in ASCII format, generated from hydrographic and velocimetric surveys near highway bridge structures over the Missouri River between Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri, for dates ranging from 2010 to 2017. Hydrographic data were collected using a high-resolution multibeam echosounder mapping system (MBMS), which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned survey lines distributed throughout the reach. Data collection software integrated and stored the depth data from the MBES and the horizontal and vertical position and attitude data of the vessel from the INS in real time. Data processing required computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information. Velocity data were collected using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on a survey vessel equipped with a differential global positioning system (DGPS). Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned transect lines distributed throughout the reach. Velocity data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and others, 2013), and smoothed using neighboring nodes.

Distribution of a freshwater mussel assemblage in Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma

The purpose of this data release and associated data series (Carr and Fancher, in review) was to compile occurrence records and map the distribution of a freshwater mussel assemblage for the Bureau of Land Management Rapid Ecoregional Assessment for the Southern Great Plains. The freshwater mussel assemblage includes Amblema plicata (threeridge), Fusconaia flava (Wabash pigtoe), Lampsilis cardium (plain pocketbook), Lampsilis teres (yellow sandshell), Pyganodon grandis (giant floater), and Uniomerus tetralasmus (pondhorn). The focal species in the assemblage were selected based on the following criteria: (1) the species are regionally significant, (2) occurrence records are sufficient to map the distribution of the species by hydrological subbasins, (3) the status of each species includes a range of State-level conservation priorities, and (4) the species are not listed as federally endangered or threatened. The six focal species represent a broad array of life history traits and habitat associations. The contemporary distribution (survey dates: 1970 to 2017) were mapped at two spatial scales: hydrological subbasins and subregions within the Missouri and Arkansas-White-Red Regions. Historical records (occurrence record dates: 1885 to 1962) were also compiled but were limited.
This data release summarizes occurrence records for the freshwater mussel assemblage by the 8-digit hydrologic unit code, which identifies the region, subregion, and subbasin. For each subbasin, the data release provides occurrence information for each of the six focal species, including the data source, time period, and number of records. Such multiscale baseline information can be useful for evaluating mussel population status and trends, identifying potential restoration areas, and providing the broader context for in-depth studies within watersheds, reaches, and subcatchments. Additional background information, methods, dataset limitations, and graphical representations of this data release, are provided in the associated data series available at https://doi.org/ 10.3133/ ds1133.
