Local and Global Geodatabases Used in South Carolina StreamStats 2024

In cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) updated the foundational geospatial layers for the South Carolina StreamStats web application (https://www.usgs.gov/streamstats), which provides analytical tools useful for water-resources planning and management (Kolb and others, 2018). This dataset comprises the 45 local geodatabases of the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC-8) watersheds in the South Carolina StreamStats (henceforth referred to as SC StreamStats) study area along with the global geodatabase that ties the local HUC-8s together. This dataset supersedes the previous SC StreamStats version 1 data published in Kolb and others (2018), reflecting updated lidar-derived elevation data for much of the state, along with new streamlines for Charleston and Georgetown counties.

Louisiana Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program – 2008 habitat map, Early Lafourche Delta Region (ver. 1.1, May 2020)

The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring (SWAMP) program. The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands, habitat types, sediment texture and geotechnical properties, environmental processes, and vegetation composition. Examples of BICM datasets include still and video aerial photography for documenting shoreline changes, shoreline positions, habitat mapping, land change analyses, light detection and ranging (lidar) surveys for topographic elevations, single-beam and swath bathymetry, and sediment grab samples. For more information about the BICM program, see Kindinger and others (2013).
The U.S. Geological Survey, Wetland and Aquatic Research Center provides support to the BICM program through the development of habitat map products using aerial imagery and lidar elevation data and assessing change in habitats over time. These data provide a snapshot of barrier island habitats and can be combined with other past and/or future maps to monitor these valuable natural resources over time. The current effort of this habitat mapping program includes developing habitat maps for 2008 and 2015-2016 for the following BICM regions: 1) West Chenier, 2) East Chenier; 3) Acadiana Bays (only Marsh Island); 4) Early Lafourche Delta; 5) Late Lafourche Delta; 6) Modern Delta (only Chaland Headland and Shell Island); and 7) Chandeleur Islands. Additionally, a habitat change analysis will be conducted for reaches mapped in 2005 by Fearnley et al. (2009) and 2015-2016. The BICM program has developed two habitat classification schemes which include a detailed 15-class habitat scheme and a general eight-class habitat scheme. The detailed scheme was developed specifically for this habitat mapping effort and builds off the general scheme used in previous BICM habitat mapping efforts (Fearnley and others, 2009). The additional classes developed in the detailed scheme are primarily used to further delineate various dune habitats, separate marsh and mangrove, and distinguish between beach and unvegetated barrier flat habitats. To ensure comparability between this effort and previous BICM map products, we have crosswalked the detailed classes to general habitat classes previously used by Fearnley and others (2009).

2009 Post-Nor\x92Ida USGS EAARL Lidar-Derived Dune Crest, Toe and Shoreline

The Storm-Induced Coastal Change Hazards component of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project focuses on understanding the magnitude and variability of extreme storm impacts on sandy beaches. Lidar-derived beach morphologic features such as dune crest, toe and shoreline help define the vulnerability of the beach to storm impacts. This dataset defines the elevation and position of the seaward-most dune crest and toe and the mean high water shoreline derived from the 2009 Post-Nor\x92Ida USGS Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) lidar survey. Beach width is included and is defined as the distance between the dune toe and shoreline along a cross-shore profile. The beach slope is calculated using this beach width and the elevation of the shoreline and dune toe.

Mean tidal range of marsh units in eastern Long Island salt marsh complex, New York (ver. 2.0, March 2024)

This data release contains coastal wetland synthesis products for the geographic region of eastern Long Island, New York, including the north and south forks, Gardiners Island, and Fishers Island. Metrics for resiliency, including unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), marsh elevation, and mean tidal range, are calculated for smaller units delineated from a Digital Elevation Model, providing the spatial variability of physical factors that influence wetland health.  Through scientific efforts initiated with the Hurricane Sandy Science Plan, the U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands with the intent of providing Federal, State, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services.

Data Release for the 2018 Update of the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model

The 2018 Update of the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model defines the potential for earthquake ground shaking for various probability levels across the conterminous United States and is applied in seismic provisions of building codes, insurance rate structures, risk assessments, and other public policy. The updated model represents an assessment of the best available science in earthquake hazards and incorporates new findings on earthquake ground shaking, seismicity, and long-period amplification over deep sedimentary basins. The new model represents an update of the seismic hazard model; previous versions were developed in 1996, 2002, 2008, and 2014.
The output from the National Seismic Hazard Model is a suite of seismic hazard curves calculated on a grid of latitude/longitude locations across the conterminous United States that describe the annual frequency of exceeding a set of ground motions. Hazard curves and probabilistic hazard data and maps for VS30 equal to 760 m/s and 260 m/s (NEHRP site class B/C and D), for 0.2, 1.0, and 5.0 second periods, as well as PGA, are available for download in the "Child Items".  Maps depict probabilistic ground motions with a 2 percent, 5 percent, and 10 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years. Spectral accelerations are calculated for 5 percent damped linear elastic oscillators.  Additional maps and data portraying the chance of damaging earthquake shaking, probabilistic Modified Mercalli Intensity, the declustered seismicity catalog, and data used for basin amplification are also available for download in the "Child Items".

Russian River Integrated Hydrologic Model (RRIHM):Solar Radiation Data from 1989-2017

The Russian River Watershed (RRW) covers about 1,300 square miles (without Santa Rosa Plain) of urban, agricultural, and forested lands in northern Sonoma County and southern Mendocino County, California. Communities in the RRW depend on a combination of Russian River water and groundwater to meet their water-supply demands. Water is used primarily for agricultural irrigation, municipal and private wells supply, and commercial uses - such as for wineries and recreation. Annual rainfall in the RRW is highly variable, making it prone to droughts and flooding from atmospheric river events. In order to better understand surface-water and groundwater issues, the USGS is creating a Coupled Ground-Water and Surface-Water Flow Model (GSFLOW; Markstrom and others, 2008) of the RRW. This model will include climate, geology, surface-water, groundwater, and land-use data.
These data are solar radiation data from three stations in the Russian River watershed for January 1989 through September 2017. These data were used to compute monthly mean solar radiation values in order to calibrate parameters used in the Russian River Integrated Hydrologic Model (RRIHM).

Swimming speeds of grass carp in response to turbulence

In this experimental series we studied the swimming capabilities and response of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) larvae to flow turbulence in a laboratory flume. We compared three different experimental configurations, representing in-stream obstructions commonly found in natural streams (e.g. a gravel bump, a single vertical cylinder, and patches of submerged rigid vegetation). Grass carp larvae (post gas bladder emergence) were introduce to each experimental configuration and subjected to a variety of hydrodynamic forces of different magnitudes and scales. We varied the flow velocities and water depths and found threshold values of turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stresses that triggered an apparent response in larval trajectories, and we estimated horizontal and vertical swimming speeds for each flow condition.

Wetted channel and bar features for the Nehalem River, Oregon in 1967

The Tillamook Bay subbasins and Nehalem River basins encompass 1,369 and 2,207 respective square 
kilometers of northwestern Oregon and drain to the Pacific Ocean. The Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kilchis, 
and Miami Rivers flow into Tillamook Bay near the towns of Tillamook and Garibaldi. The Wilson and 
Trask River basins cover the largest areas (500 and 451 square kilometers, respectively) whereas the 
Tillamook and Kilchis Rivers encompass similar sized areas (156 and 169 square kilometers, respectively) 
and the Miami River the smallest area (94 square kilometers). In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a reconnaissance-level assessment of channel 
condition and bed-material transport relevant to the permitting of in-stream gravel extraction along the 
major alluvial portions of six river systems, including the lowermost 14.1 km of the Tillamook River, 
16.3 km of the Trask River, 15.2 km of the Wilson River, 7.8 km of the Kilchis River, 11.6 km of the 
Miami River, and 31.4 km of the Nehalem River. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were 
produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions in the Tillamook Bay sub-basins and Nehalem 
River basin from different time periods. GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and 
channel centerline in the study area were developed for four time periods: 1939, 1967, 2005, 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 wetted channel and bar feature datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. 
Aerial photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaicked for this project 
(See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification process and resolution 
of each dataset). Digital orthophotographs from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available.

Attributed North American Grid-Based Offshore Sampling Frames: Alaska and Canada

This sampling frame is a set of grid-based, finite-area frames spanning the offshore areas surrounding Alaska and Canada, and is intended for use with the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). Alaskan and Canadian waters are combined into a single grid. A Generalized Random-Tessellation Stratified (GRTS) Survey Design draw was added to the sample units from the raw sampling grids (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9XBOCVV). The GRTS survey design algorithm assigns a spatially balanced and randomized ordering (GRTS order) to each cell within its respective framework. Grid cells are prioritized numerically; the lower the number, the higher the sampling priority. Cells can then be selected for monitoring following the GRTS order, ensuring both randomization and spatial balance. Monitoring within this standardized framework allows statistical inference to non-surveyed locations and ensures the validity of analyses at regional and range-wide scales. NABat is a continental collaboration including state and provincial, federal, and local agencies intended to standardize the collection and storage of bat data. Grid boundaries are based on World Exclusive Economic Zone oceanic political boundaries and extend into the shoreline 30 kilometers.
