Floodplain boundaries for the Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio

This data release is comprised of digital floodplain boundaries for a 6-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River near Jaite, Ohio. Digital flood-inundation maps for a nearly 6-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Board of Trustees. Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated to the current stage-discharge relation at the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio (station number 04206425). The hydraulic model was then used to compute total water-surface profiles for flood stages ranging from 6 to 20 ft. The simulated water-surface profiles were then used in combination with a geographic information system digital elevation model derived from light detection and ranging data to delineate the areas flooded at each water level.

Mixing Zone Model Study of Effluent Released from Yuma Desalting Plant into Colorado River in Arizona, 2022-2023

The Yuma Desalting Plant (YDP), which includes the Water Quality Improvement Center (WQIC), discharges effluent from desalted water into the Colorado River in Yuma, AZ just upstream of the Northerly International Boundary (NIB) of the United States and Mexico. Point source effluent from YDP discharges as surface flow from the Main Outlet Drain Extension II (MODE II) into the Colorado River. Quarterly samples of ambient water upstream of MODE II, effluent at the MODE II outfall, and from the river 500 m downstream of MODE II were analyzed for boron, copper, pH, and whole effluent toxicity (WET). The United States Geological Survey (USGS) modeled the mixing zone and plume geometry of effluent released from MODE II using the Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) modeling software. Quarterly sampling was used to validate mixing models (with percent difference between predicted and measured concentrations no greater than 10%) and the validated parameters were used in the prediction of the dilution of boron, copper, and WET concentrations during the critical conditions scenario of 7Q10 flow of the Colorado River and maximum effluent release. This data release includes the input parameters and modeled output reports from all CORMIX simulations.

Preliminary digital data for a 3-layer geologic model of the conterminous United States using land surface, top of bedrock, and top of basement (ver. 1.1, April 2025)

This digital dataset compiles a 3-layer geologic model of the conterminous United States by mapping the altitude of three surfaces: land surface, top of bedrock, and top of basement. These surfaces are mapped through the compilation and synthesis of published stratigraphic horizons from numerous topical studies. The mapped surfaces create a 3-layer geologic model with three geomaterials-based subdivisions: unconsolidated to weakly consolidated sediment; layered consolidated rock strata that constitute bedrock, and crystalline basement, consisting of either igneous, metamorphic, or highly deformed rocks. 
Compilation of subsurface data from published reports involved standard techniques within a geographic information system (GIS) including digitizing contour lines, gridding the contoured data, sampling the resultant grids at regular intervals, and attribution of the dataset. However, data compilation and synthesis is highly dependent on the definition of the informal terms “bedrock” and “basement”, terms which may describe different ages or types of rock in different places. The digital dataset consists of a single polygon feature class which contains an array of square polygonal cells that are 2.5 km m in x and y dimensions. These polygonal cells multiple attributes including x-y location, altitude of the three mapped layers at each x-y location, the published data source from which each surface altitude was compiled, and an attribute that allows for spatially varying definitions of the bedrock and basement units. The spatial data are linked through unique identifiers to non-spatial tables that describe the sources of geologic information and a glossary of terms used to describe bedrock and basement type.

6. Water Temperature and Specific Conductance Cross Sections of the Quillayute River Oxbow Ponds, August 2022

This dataset presents cross-sectional measurements of water temperature and specific conductance at varying depths in cross sections located in three oxbow ponds adjacent to the Quillayute River in Washington. Three oxbow ponds in the abandoned meander were identified as having sufficient water depth for conducting water quality cross-section surveys. Each pond name identifier in downstream order is as follows: Gravel Pond (GP), Hockey Pond (HP) and Long Pond (LP). Each pond length was measured and partitioned into equally spaced cross-section locations. A pack raft with one team member equipped with water quality probe recorded data at each cross-section. Data was collected August 29-31, 2022, at a time when surface-water temperatures were near their annual thermal maximum.

2011 and 2017 Pika Pathology Colorado

American pikas (Ochotona princeps) are small lagomorphs that live in mountainous talus areas of western North America. Studies on the histopathology of American pikas are limited. This report summarizes the clinical histories, and gross and histologic findings of 12 American pikas, including nine captive and three wild animals. Death was often attributed to stress (transport, handling, and anesthesia) with few to no premonitory clinical signs. Two cases died due to infection: one had bacterial pyogranulomatous dermatitis, cellulitis, and lymphadenitis with sepsis; the other case had fungal necrotizing colitis. Incidental parasite infections included sarcocystosis, nematodiasis (oxyurids), and ectoparasitism. Most animals with adequate nutritional status had periportal hepatic lipidosis. This finding was absent in all animals with adipose atrophy, and it is possible periportal hepatic lipidosis is non-pathologic in American pikas. Three cases had myocardial mineralization that was considered the cause of death; the cause for mineralization was not determined, but may have been due to stress or vitamin E/selenium deficiency. Esophageal hyperkeratosis was noted in animals with a history of anorexia and negative energy balance. Accumulation of esophageal keratin may have been caused by lack of mucosal abrasion associated with ingestion. Several histologic findings that are likely normal in American pikas include splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis, thymic tissue in adults, and Clostridium in the enteric lumen.

Coseismic landslide runout and mobility ratio data from publicly available mapped landslide inventories

Earthquake-triggered landslides can significantly contribute to human and economic losses during and immediately following earthquakes, but data on the runout behavior of such ground failures is limited. Hazard assessment of coseismic landslide risk can vary dramatically depending on landslide mobility and runout extent, which makes modeling of such behavior imperative. Predictive and empirical models require comprehensive datasets with diverse climatic, topographic, and geologic factors. We present an openly accessible global dataset of coseismic landslide runout lengths, produced from an automated method for estimating runout length from existing landslide inventories. This tool was developed and validated using manually measured runout lengths of 1,726 landslides from five global earthquake-induced landslide inventories spanning a variety of terrains and geologic settings. The resultant database contains 73,665 measured and estimated runout lengths of coseismic landslides from 23 global earthquakes derived from the USGS’s open repository of earthquake-triggered ground-failure inventories on ScienceBase (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7H70DB4, v4.0, Schmitt et al., 2022). We present separate data files for each inventory, reporting area and predicted or measured runout lengths of individual landslides.

Floodplain boundaries for flood-inundation maps for the Cuyahoga River in and near the City of Independence, Ohio

Digital flood-inundation maps for a 9.9-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River near Independence, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Board of Trustees. Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated to the current (rating number 42) stage-discharge relation at the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage Cuyahoga River at Independence, Ohio (station number 04208000). The hydraulic model was then used to compute 13 total water-surface profiles for flood stages ranging from 14 to 26 ft. The overall range in stages are from “action stage” to above “major flood stage” as reported by the National Weather Service. The simulated water-surface profiles were then used in combination with a geographic information system digital elevation model derived from light detection and ranging data to delineate the areas flooded at each water level.
The model produced by this study could be used to assess possible flood mitigation options and define flood hazard areas that could contribute to the protection of life and property. The availability of these maps, along with internet information regarding current stage from the USGS streamgage and forecasted high-flow stages from the National Weather Service, could provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for post-flood recovery efforts.

Digital elevation model of the lava dome in the crater of Mount St. Helens, November 12, 1986

The catastrophic, explosive eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, on May 18, 1980, is the most well-known eruption of the volcano. Less well known is the May 18th eruption marked the beginning of a period of eruptive activity that lasted through 1986. From October 1980 through October 1986, a series of 17 dome-building episodes added millions of cubic meters of lava to the crater floor. Most of the growth occurred when magma extruded onto the surface of the dome, forming short (650 to 1,300 feet), thick (65 to 130 feet) lava flows. 
This data release is a 1-meter resolution digital elevation model (DEM) and a corresponding hillshade raster derived from a previously unpublished 1:2,000 scale topographic contour map, based on aerial photographs taken on November 12, 1986, created by USGS for use during the response to the eruption.

Digital data for the geologic map of Scoggins Dam, Henry Hagg Lake, and Scoggins Valley, Washington County, Oregon

Scoggins Dam in northwest Oregon lies within the Gales Creek fault zone (GCF), a northwest-striking system of active faults forming the boundary between the Coast Range and the Tualatin Valley about 25 km east of Portland, Oregon. Geologic mapping published in 2020 shows the dam to lie within a block-faulted releasing stepover between the right-lateral, NW-striking Scoggins Creek and Parsons Creek strands of the GCF. The Scoggins Creek strand is presently mapped beneath the existing dam about 200 m north of the south abutment. Preliminary results from paleoseismic trenching by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Portland State University, and the U.S. Geological Survey indicate that these two major fault strands have had multiple surface rupturing earthquakes in the Holocene. To confirm the accuracy of the 2020 geologic map and the geometry of the GCF in the releasing stepover region, we completed additional geologic mapping of the dam, reservoir, and an alternative dam site downstream between July 2018 and May 2020. Using high-resolution lidar topographic data and satellite imagery on handheld digital tablets, we collected data at ~500 field sites in the heavily forested terrain. We used these detailed field observations to locate and digitally map the main Scoggins Creek and Parsons Creek fault strands, as well as the cross faults linking the two main strands, to produce an improved and more detailed geologic map and cross sections of Scoggins Valley and its existing and proposed dam sites.
