Data release for Geologic Map of the Leadville North 7.5' quadrangle, Eagle and Lake Counties, Colorado

The Leadville North 7.5' quadrangle lies at the northern end
of the Upper Arkansas Valley, where the Continental Divide at
Tennessee Pass creates a low drainage divide between the
Colorado and Arkansas River watersheds. In the eastern half
of the quadrangle, the Paleozoic sedimentary section dips
generally 20–30 degrees east. At Tennessee Pass and Missouri
Hill, the core of the Sawatch anticlinorium is mapped as
displaying a tight hanging-wall syncline and foot-wall
anticline within the basement-cored structure. High-angle,
west-dipping, Neogene normal faults cut the eastern margin
of the broad, Sawatch anticlinorium. Minor displacements along
high-angle, east- and west-dipping Laramide reverse faults
occurred in the core of the north-plunging anticlinorium
along the western and eastern flanks of Missouri Hill. Within
the western half of the quadrangle, Meso- and Paleoproterozoic
metamorphic and igneous rocks are uplifted along the generally
east-dipping, high-angle Sawatch fault system and are overlain
by at least three generations of glacial deposits in the
western part of the quadrangle. 10Be and 26Al cosmogenic nuclide
ages of the youngest glacial deposits indicate a last glacial
maximum age of about 21–22 kilo-annum and complete deglaciation
by about 14 kilo-annum, supported by chronologic studies in
adjacent drainages. No late Pleistocene tectonic activity is
apparent within the quadrangle.

Faunal and vegetation monitoring in response to harbor dredging in Port of Miami

Seagrasses are highly productive ecosystems. A before-after-control-impact (BACI) design was used to examine effects of dredging on seagrasses and the animals that inhabit them. The control site North Biscayne Bay (NBB) and impacted site Port of Miami (POM) had seagrass densities decreased during the before, Fish and Invertebrate Assessment Network (FIAN) 2006-2011 and after, Faunal Monitoring Due to Harbor Dredging (FMHD) 2014-2016 studies. Turbidity levels increased at NBB and POM basins during the FMHD study, especially in 2016. Animal populations decreased significantly in NBB and POM in the FMHD study compared to the FIAN study. If seagrass communities are not stabilized, animal numbers will likely continue to decrease. There could be impacts on several fisheries vital to the South Florida economy. Additional research could determine if animal populations and seagrass densities have rebounded or continued to decrease.

Chelonid herpesvirus 5 virus isolation data

Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a tumor disease of marine turtles associated with Chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) that has historically been refractory to growth in tissue culture.  Here, we show for the first time de novo formation of ChHV5-positive intranuclear inclusions in cultured green turtle cells, which is indicative for active lytic replication of the virus.  The minimal requirements to achieve lytic replication in cultured cells included 1) either in-vitro culturing of ChHV5-positive tumor biopsies or organotypic cultures consisting of ChHV5-positive turtle fibroblasts in collagen rafts seeded with ChHV5-negative or -positive turtle keratinocytes and 2) keratinocyte maturation, which occurred naturally in explanted biopsies or was induced by bringing the raft cultures to the air-media interface.  These findings were confirmed by detailed electron microscopic studies revealing intranuclear capsid factories, various stages of capsid formation, nuclear export by budding into the perinuclear space, tegumentation, and envelopment to complete de novo virus production.  Ongoing membrane synthesis was also observed as a sign for active viral replication.  Interestingly, cytoplasmic particles became associated with keratin filaments, a feature not seen in conventional monolayered cell cultures where most studies of herpesvirus replication have been performed.  Our findings draw a rich and realistic picture of ChHV5 replication in cells derived from its natural host and may be crucial not only to better understand ChHV5 circulation but also to eventually complete Koch’s postulates for FP.   Moreover, the principles described here may serve as model to culture other viruses that are resistant to replication in cell culture.

Genetic and functional connectivity data for greater sage-grouse across the species range generated 2005–2015 (ver. 2.0, December 2022)

Functional connectivity, quantified using landscape genetics, can inform conservation through the identification of factors linking genetic structure to landscape mechanisms. We used breeding habitat metrics, landscape attributes, and indices of grouse abundance, to compare fit between structural connectivity and genetic differentiation within five long-established Sage-Grouse Management Zones (MZ) I–V using microsatellite genotypes from 6,009 greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) collected across their range. We estimated structural connectivity using a circuit theory-based approach where we built resistance surfaces using thresholds dividing the landscape into “habitat” and “nonhabitat” and nodes were clusters of sage-grouse leks (where feather samples were collected using non-invasive techniques). The resultant resistance maps spatially depict the strength and redundancy of range-wide gene flow and can help direct conservation actions to maintain and restore functional connectivity for sage-grouse. The data presented here include the raw genetic data and the functional connectivity cumulative current.

Geochemical and geophysical data for wells in the Fruitvale oil and gas field

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the California State Water Resources Control Board compiled and analyzed data for the purpose of mapping groundwater salinity in selected oil and gas fields in California. The data for the Fruitvale and Rosedale Ranch oil fields include well construction data, digitized borehole geophysical data, geochemical analyses of water samples from oil and gas wells and groundwater wells, geological formation depths, and the groundwater total dissolved solids (TDS) calculations used in an accompanying manuscript. These data have been compiled from many sources and span several decades. The well construction data includes attributes such as the date drilling began (spud date), well depth, the depth of top producing perforation, and borehole orientation. These data have been in archived scanned pages in raster format on the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) website. Similarly, the borehole geophysical data, measured by oil companies, has been archived in raster format. This project has converted the borehole geophysical data from selected oil and gas wells into a computer readable numerical format. The geochemical analyses have also been archived in scanned formats, but now have been compiled into numerical datasets in additional data releases by Metzger and others (2018) and Gans and others (2018). All of the data compiled and analyzed are part of the California State Water Resources Control Board's Program of Regional Monitoring of Water Quality in Areas of Oil and Gas Production and the USGS California Oil, Gas, and Groundwater (COGG) program.

Low-altitude multispectral and thermal-infrared imagery from agricultural fields, Black Creek basin, Allen County, IN - spring 2017

These point clouds were derived from low-altitude (approximately 92-m above ground surface) images collected from unmannned aerial system (UAS) flights over an edge-of-field, paired sampling site that is part of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) monitoring.  The objective of this UAS photogrammetry data collection was to provide information on the tile-drain network in each of the two fields with the goal of understanding already observed patterns in runoff amount and water quality from these sites.  A 3DR Solo quadcopter served as the flight vehicle, controlled in pre-planned missions using Mission Planner.  UAS and the multispectral camera (MicaSense RedEdge) both recorded geospatial information in WGS84; the point clouds are also in WGS84 although final images are in NAD83 UTM Zone 16N.  This multispectral camera provides independent images for five wavelength ranges:  blue (B; approximately 475-500 nanometers [nm]), green (G; 550-560 nm), red (R: 660-670 nm), red-edge (710-720 nm), and near infrared (NR; 820-860 nm), that are co-located and processed together (MicaSense, 2015); images are provided as R-G-B and as NR-B-G.  Thermal-infrared (ThIR) data were collected using a FLIR Vue Pro R 640 thermal camera with an uncooled vanadium oxide microbolometer and a 13-mm lens.  Multispectral images were collected at 2-second intervals, with a flight speed of 7 meters per second (m/s) and 75% overlap; these images were georeferenced.  Thermal images were collected with a flight speed of 5 m/s and 65% overlap (55% sidelap) and geo-referenced after collection by integrating the flight logs and photo timestamps using GeoSetter (3.4 BETA).  Ground control was evaluated using the location of two surface flumes in addition to "ground rulers" that were visible in multispectral images; absolute error ranged from 5.36 to 12.92 m among the four photo-sets, with relative error of -0.06 to 0.06 m for the ground rulers.  USGS monitoring sites include Bull Rapids Road near Harlan, IN (USGS Site IDs 411229084541101, 411229084541102, 411228084541701, 411228084541702, and 411228084541703).

Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities as sources of pharmaceuticals to municipal wastewater treatment plant discharge in the United States, 2004-2017

Discharges from pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities (PMFs) previously have been identified as important sources of pharmaceuticals to the environment. Yet few studies are available to establish the influence of PMFs to the pharmaceutical source contribution to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and waterways at the national scale. Consequently, a national network of 13 WWTPs receiving PMF discharges and 7 WWTPs with no PMF input (controls) were selected from across the United States to assess the influence of PMF input for a diverse suite of pharmaceuticals being formulated for a range of WWTP sizes. WWTP effluent samples were collected and analyzed for 120 pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical degradates. Of these, 33 pharmaceuticals had concentrations significantly higher in PMF-influenced effluent (maximum 555,000 nanograms per liter) compared to effluent from control sites (maximum 175 nanograms per liter). Concentrations in PMF discharges are episodic and indicate that production activities can vary substantially over relatively short (several months) periods and the potential to rapidly transition to other pharmaceutical products.  Results show that PMFs are an important, national-scale source of pharmaceuticals to the environment. Additional research is needed to determine if the observed elevated pharmaceutical concentrations discharged from PMF-influenced WWTPs translate to an increase in adverse environmental effects in corresponding waterways.

Sediment and Aquifer Characteristics of Quaternary Sediments in the Glaciated Conterminous United States

The Sediment and Aquifer Characteristics dataset includes two, grid-based polygon feature classes.  The first class uses a five-kilometer grid to show the density of lithologic logs available for analysis. The second class contains attributes that characterize either Quaternary sediment in the glaciated conterminous United States or aquifer material within it. The attributes are derived from lithologic logs obtained from boreholes and wells. The polygons were delineated by a constrained, kriging-based interpolation based on the distribution of map units in the source Surficial Geologic Units dataset using a grid-based algorithm to interpolate between the point data, as defined in the processing steps.

Threshold and confidence interval rasters, 2004-2016, Region 17

The threshold raster includes the raw streamflow permanence probability value at a given pixel that represents the estimated critical value to differentiate between wet conditions (above the threshold) and dry conditions (below the threshold). Confidence interval rasters indicate the value above or below the threshold corresponding to the nth percentile of confidence that the pixel is wet (above) or dry (below). Raw streamflow permanence probabilities were produced by the PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model, a GIS raster-based empirical model of probabilistic predictions of a stream channel having year-round flow for any unregulated and minimally-impaired stream channel in the Pacific Northwest region, U.S. The model provides predictions of annual streamflow permanence probabilities at a 30-m spatial resolution based on monthly or annually updated values of climatic conditions and static physiographic variables associated with the upstream basin. Predictions correspond to pixels on the channel network consistent with the medium resolution National Hydrography Dataset channel network stream grid.

Physical CPGs -- Probability of Streamflow Permanence (PROSPER) Continuous Parameter Grids (CPGs)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed the PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model, a GIS raster-based empirical model that provides streamflow permanence probabilities (probabilistic predictions) of a stream channel having year-round flow for any unregulated and minimally-impaired stream channel in the Pacific Northwest region, U.S. The model provides annual predictions for 2004-2016 at a 30-m spatial resolution based on monthly or annually updated values of climatic conditions and static physiographic variables associated with the upstream basin.  These values and variables, known as Continuous Parameter Grids, or CPGs, were used as the predictor variables in the model.  The CPGs referenced from this page are physical, including baseflow, irrigated land, land cover (NLCD), permeability, soils, and topography.
