Data for Machine Learning Predictions of Nitrate in Shallow Groundwater in the Conterminous United States

An extreme gradient boosting (XGB) machine learning model was developed to predict the distribution of nitrate in shallow groundwater across the conterminous United States (CONUS). Nitrate was predicted at a 1-square-kilometer (km) resolution at a depth below the water table of 10 m. The model builds off a previous XGB machine learning model developed to predict nitrate at domestic and public supply groundwater zones (Ransom and others, 2022) by incorporating additional monitoring well samples and modifying and adding predictor variables. The shallow zone model included variables representing well characteristics, hydrologic conditions, soil type, geology, climate, oxidation/reduction, and nitrogen inputs. Predictor variables derived from empirical or numerical process-based models were also included to integrate information on controlling processes and conditions. This data release documents the model and provides the model results. Included in this data release are, 1) a model archive of the R project: source code, input files (including model training and testing data, rasters of all final predictor variables, and an output raster representing predicted nitrate concentration in the shallow zone), 2) a read_me.txt file describing the model archive and an explanation of its use and the modeling details, and 3) a table describing the model variables.

United States Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Database - Legacy Versions (ver. 1.0 - ver. 2.0)

Analysts from the U.S. Geological Survey and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory collaborated to develop and release the United States Large Scale Solar Photovoltaic Database (USPVDB). This effort built from the expertise gained while developing the regularly updated United States Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB). Starting from Energy Information Administration (EIA) data, locations of large-scale solar photovoltaic (LSPV) facilities were visually verified using high-resolution aerial imagery; a polygon was drawn around the extent of facility panel arrays, and facility attributes were appended. Quality assurance and control were achieved via team peer review and comparing the USPVDB to other datasets of U.S. solar photovoltaic.  Some facility information did not exist within our source data or not yet built, not built at all, or located elsewhere.  Thus, uncertainty may exist for certain facilities and are rated in a confidence level.  None of the data are field verified.

Data on flea larvae survival following exposure to black-footed ferret scat

We collected fecal scat pellets from 4 black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes) in captivity. The ferrets were fed black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) that had previously consumed 0.005% fipronil grain. Fipronil is an insecticide from the phenylpyrazole chemical family. Specifically, ferrets were fed portions of three prairie dogs (60-80 g/day) for one week. We collected scat from the ferrets before, during, and after their feeding on treated prairie dogs. The scat was stored in sealable plastic bags and frozen. Fecal pellets were placed in 1.5 milliliter (mL) centrifuge tubes, ground into morsels and powder (fine particles for flea larvae to eat) with a disposable polypropylene pestle, separated as 0.50 milligram (mg) subsamples into pre-labeled centrifuge tubes, and frozen. Oropsylla montana flea larvae were assayed in 12-well microplates. Small holes were made in the microplate caps, immediately above each well, to allow for air exchange. Each well contained sterilized fine sand substrate (approximately 1/4 to 1/2 of well depth) for larvae locomotion and refuge. Wells in some of the test plates received fipronil-laced ferret feces and wells in the remaining plates received ferret feces lacking fipronil residues (0.50 mg/well). The microplates were lidded, loosely covered with aluminum foil, and stored in a dark, cool storage location for 24 hours at approximately 23 °C and approximately 85% relative humidity. After 24 hours, the microplates were uncovered and opened. Probes were used to prod each larva for 2 seconds. Live larva responded by coiling and moving away from the prod. Larvae that did not respond within 2 seconds were prodded for 5 additional seconds and considered dead if no movement was observed. A 60x to 120x pocket microscope was used to determine if each larva consumed ferret feces (yes = visible meal, colored like prairie dog scat, in the gut; no = no visible meal in the gut).    
The data file (FerretFipronilScatFleaLarvaeData.csv) includes data on flea identification numbers (FleaNumber), treatment (Fipronil, NoFipronil in ferret scat), evidence of flea larvae consuming ferret scat (Meal, Yes or No), and a binomial variable for whether or not a larval flea survived the 24-hour testing period (Survived).

Assessing cell line models for species differences in 6PPD-quinone sensitivity

Coho salmon have been shown to be highly sensitive to the tire transformation chemical 6PPD-quinone, with concentrations contained in stormwater sufficient to induce mortality in up to 90% of the entire fall coho run. Other salmonid species (chinook, sockeye, chum) are much less sensitive to 6PPD-quinone induced mortality. This data examines the varying species sensitivities across salmoids using in vivo exposures in juvenile fish. We then used established cell lines forom these species to assess their suitability for in vitro studies concerning species differences in toxicokinetics using fluorescence and absorbance-based plate assays.

Estuarine vegetated wetland change scenarios for estuaries in the conterminous United States, 1996–2019

This data release contains land cover-derived statistics regarding estuarine vegetated wetland area change within estuary drainage areas along the conterminous U.S. This dataset includes net change in estuarine vegetated wetland area based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Coastal Change Assessment Program (C-CAP) 1996 and 2016 land cover data. Net change was assessed between estuarine vegetated wetlands (i.e., estuarine marshes, mangroves, non-mangrove estuarine woody wetlands, and salt pannes, depending on vegetation coverage and type) and the following other landcover classes: 1) water; 2) unconsolidated shore; 3) freshwater woody wetlands; 4) freshwater marsh; 5) upland; and 6) agriculture. An estuarine vegetated wetland change scenario was assigned to each region depending on different combinations of positive and negative net change in some of these classes which describes how land building, transgression, or tidal restoration compare to estuarine vegetated wetland loss. This dataset also includes relative statistics of change compared to estuarine vegetated wetland and estuary area.

Chicago River and Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Bathymetry in Cook County, Illinois, August 2022

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) in LAS format, generated from the August 22-24, 2022, hydrographic survey of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CS&amp;SC) and sections of the Chicago River and North Branch Chicago River in Cook County, Illinois. The survey extends from the Cook County line near Interstate 355 in the southwest upstream to the Chicago Harbor Lock on the Chicago River in the northeast, and northward on the North Branch Chicago River to the North Avenue Turning Basin in the north. 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 overlapping longitudinal 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 specialized computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.
The bathymetry dataset is provided in American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) LAS format with metadata as ChicagoSSCanal_bathymetry_2022-08.las.  The LAS format is a standardized binary format for storing 3-dimensional point cloud data and point attributes along with header information and variable length records specific to the data. Data points are stored as a 3-dimensional data cloud as a series of x (longitude), y (latitude), and z (elevation) points.

Umpqua River Oregon Coast Range PhotoMosaic 1967

The Umpqua River drains 12,103 square kilometers (4,673 square miles) in southwest Oregon before flowing 
into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay near the city of Reedsport. In cooperation with the Portland District 
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the USGS evaluated sediment transport and gravel storage 
along the downstream alluvial reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers and the entire mainstem 
Umpqua River. This includes the lower 46.8 kilometers (29.1 miles) of the North Umpqua River and the 
lower 122.6 kilometers (76.2 miles) of the South Umpqua River. 
		
The Umpqua River gravel transport study involved multiple analyses, including tracking patterns of historical 
channel change and estimation of a sediment budget. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were 
produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions along the Umpqua River system from different time periods.
		
GIS layers defining the active channel of the Umpqua River system were developed for three time periods: 
1939, 1967, and 2005. For the South Umpqua River and the 19 kilometers (12 miles) of the mainstem 
Umpqua River downstream from the confluence of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, GIS layers were 
also developed for the time periods 1994, 2000, and 2009.
		
For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and 
includes the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The 
active channel datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 
1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaiced for this project. Digital orthophotographs from 
1994, 2000, 2005, and 2009 are publicly available (See metadata for each photograph set for more 
information on the rectification process and resolution of each dataset). Although our study area 
encompasses the Umpqua River and lower reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, the 
extent of each dataset depended upon the underlying aerial photographs; for example, the 1967 
photographs extend only as far downstream as floodplain kilometer 7, whereas the 1939 and 2005 
datasets extend to the mouth of the Umpqua River at the Pacific Ocean.
