Magnetotelluric sounding data, station 20, north eastern Nevada, 2003

This dataset includes the magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data collected in 2003 along a north-south profile west of Wendover, Nevada. It is important to know whether major mining districts in the Northern Nevada Gold Province are underlain by rocks of the Archean Wyoming craton, which are known to contain orogenic gold deposits, or by accreted rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Mojave province. It is also important to know the location and orientation of the Archean/Proterozoic suture zone between these provinces as well as major basement structures within these terranes because they may influence subsequent patterns of sedimentation, deformation, magmatism, and hydrothermal activity. This study was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Resources Program in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Mean annual water-budget components for the Island of Maui, Hawaii, for average climate conditions, 1978-2007 rainfall and 2010 land cover (version 2.0)

The shapefile associated with this metadata file represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Maui, Hawaii. The water-budget components in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of average climate conditions (1978–2007 rainfall) and 2010 land cover, as described in USGS SIR 2014-5168. The model was developed for estimating groundwater recharge and other water-budget components for each subarea of the model. The model subareas were generated using Esri ArcGIS software by intersecting (merging) multiple spatial data sets that characterize the spatial distribution of rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, reference evapotranspiration, direct runoff, soil type, and land cover. This metadata file describes the process of merging these spatial data sets into 318,429 model subareas, which are represented by the polygons in the shapefile. These spatial data sets characterize the spatial distribution of hydrologic and physical conditions that the model uses to compute groundwater recharge and other water-budget components. The shapefile attribute information associated with each polygon present an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, septic-system leachate, runoff, canopy evaporation, net precipitation, total evapotranspiration, recharge, and seepage from reservoirs and cesspools. This shapefile also includes select geographic and land-cover attributes of the model subareas. Brief descriptions of the water-budget components and attributes are included in this metadata file. Refer to USGS SIR 2014-5168 for further details of the methods and sources used to determine these components and attributes.

Forest Service Visits 2014 Colorado Plateau

We calculated the intensity of recreation visitation in 2014 based on Forest Service (FS) visits reported in the National Visitor Use Monitoring System at the level of a National Forest (English et. al., 2002). Recreation use on FS lands is tracked at five-year intervals (2010–2014), therefore these data represent a rough estimate of potential 2014 visits.

Pre- and post-event digital elevation models generated from high-resolution stereo satellite imagery of the 2016 Lamplugh rock avalanche in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska

The use of high-resolution remotely sensed imagery can be an effective way to obtain quantitative measurements of rock-avalanche volumes and geometries in remote glaciated areas, both of which are important for an improved understanding of rock-avalanche characteristics and processes. We utilized the availability of high-resolution (~0.5 m) WorldView satellite stereo imagery to derive digital elevation data in a 100 km2 area around the 28 June 2016 Lamplugh rock avalanche in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska. We used NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline, an open-source software package available from NASA, to produce one pre- and four post-event digital elevation models (DEMs) of the area surrounding the Lamplugh rock avalanche. This data release includes five raster elevation datasets (2-m resolution) in GeoTIFF format that have been orthrectified to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system (zone 7N). Elevations are measured in reference to the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) ellipsoid. Because the study area is remote and difficult to access, ground control was not available to assess the absolute accuracy of DEMs. The DEMs have not been precisely co-registered. Data contained in this release include a pre-event DEM from 15 June 2016, and post-event DEMs from 16 July 2016, 27 August 2016, 27 September 2016, and 28 September 2016. The filenames for these DEMs are 20160615_LamplughDEM.tif, 20160716_LamplughDEM.tif, 20160827_LamplughDEM.tif, 20160927_LamplughDEM.tif, and 20160928_LamplughDEM.tif, respectively. We also provide a CSV file (Lamplugh_DEM_Image_Notes.csv) that contains the acquisition date, satellite platform, image identification number, resolution, off-nadir angle, and notes on image quality for each stereo pair used to generate DEMs.

Mines, Mineral Occurrences, and Mining Districts in the Carlin Area, Nevada

Sediment hosted gold deposits in Nevada were first mined in the 1960s from open pit mines with large tonnage and low grade resources. Since that time, continuing exploration and discovery have identified extraordinary resources, and together these deposits now form the second-largest gold endowment on Earth, surpassed only by the Witwatersrand Gold Fields of South Africa. The data herein are part of a larger U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) project to develop an updated geospatial database of mines, mineral deposits and mineral regions in the United States.
The point and polygon layers within this database represent locations of mines, mineral occurrences (which includes deposits and prospects), and mining districts in an approximately 200-square mile area northwest of Carlin, Nevada. Tables contain additional information such as commodity, geology, deposit types, activity status, deposit resources, and mine production. The extent of surface workings, when visible on imagery, is also captured and shows the relative size of mining operations. All data were compiled from publicly available sources published from 1910 - 2017. Where possible, data were compiled from primary source reports rather than from syntheses of past reports. Although the selected area does not include the entire Carlin Trend, the area, which covers nine 7.5-minute quadrangles, does contain a wide range of deposit types described through a variety of public data and information. These data are being compiled by the USGS Mineral Deposit Database project with support from the Bureau of Land Management.

Mean annual water-budget components for the Island of Maui, Hawaii, for predevelopment conditions, 1978–2007 rainfall and 1870 land cover (version 2.0)

The shapefile associated with this metadata file represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Maui, Hawaii. The water-budget components in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of predevelopment conditions (1978–2007 rainfall and 1870 land cover), as described in USGS Scientific Investigations Report (SIR) 2015-5164. The model was developed for estimating groundwater recharge and other water-budget components for each subarea of the model. The model-subarea dataset, consisting of 318,429 subareas (polygons), was generated using Esri ArcGIS software by intersecting (merging) multiple spatial datasets. Spatial datasets merged include those that characterize the spatial distribution of hydrologic and physical conditions (rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, reference evapotranspiration, direct runoff, soil type, and land cover) that the model uses to compute groundwater recharge and other water-budget components. Additional spatial datasets merged into the model-subarea dataset include those of select geographic features that assist in analyzing model results. This metadata file describes the process of merging these spatial datasets. The shapefile attribute information associated with each polygon present an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, septic-system leachate, runoff, canopy evaporation, actual evapotranspiration, storm-drain capture, net precipitation, total evapotranspiration, recharge, and seepage from reservoirs and cesspools. This shapefile also includes select geographic and land-cover attributes of the polygons. Brief descriptions of the water-budget components and attributes are included in this metadata file. Refer to USGS SIR 2015-5164 and SIR 2014-5168 for further details of the methods and sources used to determine these components and attributes.

Magnetotelluric sounding data, station 8, East-Central Tooele County, Utah, 2003

This dataset includes the magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data collected in 2003 along a north-south profile west of Tooele, Utah. It is important to know whether major mining districts in the Northern Nevada Gold Province are underlain by rocks of the Archean Wyoming craton, which are known to contain orogenic gold deposits, or by accreted rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Mojave province. It is also important to know the location and orientation of the Archean/Proterozoic suture zone between these provinces as well as major basement structures within these terranes because they may influence subsequent patterns of sedimentation, deformation, magmatism, and hydrothermal activity. This study was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Resources Program in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Remote sensing derived maps of tamarisk (2009) and beetle impacts (2013) along 412 km of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, Arizona

These data are aerial image-derived, classification maps of tamarisk (Tamarisk spp.) in the riparian zone of the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam to Separation Canyon, a total river distance of 412 km. The classification maps are published in GIS vector format.  Two maps are published: 1) a classification of tamarisk from a 0.2 m resolution multispectral image dataset acquired in May 2009 (Tamarisk Classification 2009), and 2) a classification of tamarisk impacted by the tamarisk beetle (Diorhabda carinulata) from a 0.2 m resolution multispectral image dataset acquired in May 2013 (Beetle Impact Classification 2013). Tamarisk presence in 2009 was classified using the Mahalanobis Distance method with a total of 2,500 training samples, and classification accuracy was assessed with an independent set of 7,858 samples across 49 image quads. A total of 214 ha of tamarisk were detected in 2009. Tamarisk classification accuracies varied across the 49 image quads, and the combined overall accuracy across the entire study region was 74%. The 2013 beetle-impacted tamarisk classification was completed using change detection of NDVI values in the 2009 and 2013 multispectral imagery within pixels classified as tamarisk in the 2009 dataset. A region-specific NDVI ratio of &gt;1.5 decline between the two image dates (2009NDVI/2013NDVI) was used to identify tamarisks impacted by beetle herbivory. The area of beetle-impacted tamarisk totaled 32.1 ha, but varies spatially throughout the river corridor. The Glen Canyon reach of the river had the greatest proportion of beetle-impacted tamarisk in the study region.
