Nimz Ranch Tie Channel Velocity Mapping and Discharge Measurements, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho, 2020

Discharge measurements and velocity mapping surveys were completed at select tie channels located at Nimz Ranch, on the main-stem Kootenai River. Tie channels convey water and sediments between the main river channel and river floodplain waterbodies. The velocity mapping surveys are used to document how the tie channels interact with the main-stem Kootenai River. As part of the Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Program (KRHRP), construction includes reconnecting wetlands at Nimz Ranch with the main-stem Kootenai River by excavating tie-channels. Similar surveys will be conducted following project construction completion (after 2021). Velocity mapping provides data to support the flow split estimates in the tie channel reconnection. These mapping efforts are a quantitative assessment of the the tie channels role in altering drift, temperature, and floodplain storage. An acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) or acoustic Doppler velocimeter can survey select hydraulic characteristics of a flow field including: velocity magnitude and direction, turbulence, backscatter, and/or discharge. For channel discharge measurements, six transects were collected at pre-determined cross-sections to obtain an average velocity cross-sectional profile and corresponding discharge for the section. For general velocity mapping, the specified study area was discretized into representative zones which are measured a minimum of six times along multiple closely spaced sections to establish the dominant trend of velocity magnitude and direction within the zone. Data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and other, 2013) and smoothed using a neighboring nodes algorithm. Data collected with an acoustic Doppler velocimeter are published in the summary spreadsheet. Naming convention for each cross-section corresponds to the measurement location. Main-stem cross sections are denoted as KR_NR_USMC_1 or KR_DR_DSMC_1 for upstream and downstream cross sections on the Kootenai River, respectively. Tie-channel cross sections connecting the Kootenai River to Nimz Ranch are denoted as KR_NR_USTC_1 (farthest upstream), KR_NR_USTC_2, KR_NR_USTC_3, and KR_NR_DSTC_1 (farthest downstream).

Site 25 Missouri River Bathymetry and Velocimetry Data at Structures A3292/L0561 on Interstate 70 near St. Louis, Missouri, October 2010 through May 2016

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) and depth-averaged velocities in ASCII format, generated from hydrographic and velocimetric surveys of the Missouri River near structures A3292/L0561 on Interstate 70 near St. Louis, Missouri, in 2010, 2011 and 2016.  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 other, 2013), and smoothed using neighboring nodes.

Grassland State and Transition Map of Canyonlands National Park Needles District and Indian Creek Grazing Allotment

This raster data depicts the modeled distribution of three grassland states: Biocrust, Grass-bare, and Annualized-bare. We developed models of bare ground, total vegetation, exotic grasses and biological soil crust using spectral data from three year composites of growing season (March-October) Landsat data in Google Earth Engine and field data that were collected over the same period at monitoring sites. The resulting regression models were used to characterize the spatial distribution of putative grassland ecological states across our 251,430 ha study area in and around Canyonlands National Park, UT.   This model illustrates how a remote sensing approach to land-cover change can be implemented to guide dryland ecosystem management actions such as monitoring, livestock management, and restoration.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0390 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 398 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2018 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Terrace Farming on Agricultural Land in the Conterminous United States, 1992: National Resource Inventory Conservation Practice 600

This data set represents the estimated percentage of the 1-km grid cell that is covered by or subject to the 
agricultural conservation practice (CP600), Terrace Farming (TF) on agricultural land by county.  Terrace 
Farming is described as "an earth embankment, or a combination ridge and channel, constructed across 
the field slope" ...[for the purpose of] reducing soil erosion and retaining runoff for moisture conservation. 
This practice also is applied where soil erosion by water is a problem or there is a need to conserve water." 
(U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995)  This data set was created with geographic information systems (GIS) 
and database management tools. The acres on which TF's are applied were totaled at the county level in the 
tabular NRI database and then apportioned to a raster coverage of agricultural land within the county based 
on the Enhanced National Land Cover Dataset (NLCDe) 1-kilometer resolution land cover grids (Nakagaki, 2003). 
Federal land is not considered in this analysis because NRI does not record information on those lands.

Generalized thickness of the Minnelusa Formation, Black Hills, South Dakota.

This data set is a polygon coverage created in ARC/INFO that
represents the generalized thickness of the Minnelusa Formation,
Black Hills, South Dakota.  The thickness of the Minnelusa
Formation was determined by substracting the elevation of the top
of the Madison Limestone from the elevation of the top of the
Minnelusa Formation.  The elevations for the tops of the
formations were determined from geologic logs for wells
drilled as of 1998.  The thickness coverage contains polygons that
have single integer values representing a range of thickness.

Seabed still images in JPEG format collected on Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2017-044-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, September 12-14, 2017

This field activity is part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. This cruise was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited 57 locations on Stellwagen Bank at which a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties.
