Water content analyses of sediment cores from the Currituck Landslide Complex and upper slope adjacent to Baltimore Canyon collected on USGS Field Activity 2012-007-FA

Twenty-four piston cores (and associated trigger cores) were collected from the source zone of the Currituck Landslide Complex and upper slope adjacent to Baltimore Canyon by the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Rhode Island Department of Ocean Engineering during an eight-day cruise aboard the R/V Hugh R. Sharp in September/October of 2012. These cores were analyzed for evidence of seafloor mass transport processes, with an emphasis on constraining the age and shallow stratigraphy of the landslide complex. Sedimentological and geotechnical characterization of the cores was carried out through whole core imaging and description, followed by analysis of discrete samples at the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center's Sediment Analysis Laboratory and other facilities, including grain-size, CaCO3 content, mineral composition, and bulk index properties (e.g., undrained shear strength and water content), micropaleontologic separations, and geochronology. This data release contains the results of these core descriptions and results of the laboratory analyses.

Offshore baseline for the northern Alaska coastal region generated to calculate shoreline change rates along sheltered coastlines between the U.S.-Canadian border and the Okpilak-Hulahula River Delta for the time period 1947 to 2003

The Arctic Coastal Plain of northern Alaska is an area of strategic economic importance to the United States, is home to remote Native American communities, and encompasses unique habitats of global significance. Coastal erosion along the north coast of Alaska is chronic, widespread, may be accelerating, and is threatening defense and energy-related infrastructure, natural shoreline habitats, and Native communities. There is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes across the United States. To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change. Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments. The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast. The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

Data in support of peak streamflows and flooding in select areas of Pennsylvania from the remnants of Hurricane Ida, September 1-2, 2021

Heavy rainfall occurred across Pennsylvania on September 1 and 2, 2021, as a result of the remnants of Hurricane Ida.  Much of eastern and southcentral Pennsylvania received five to ten inches of rain and most of the rainfall occurred in a little more than six hours.  Widespread substantial flooding occurred in the area, particularly impacted was the city of Philadelphia and surrounding areas.  Flood frequencies were computed for 52 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages impacted by the flooding in eastern and southcentral Pennsylvania using peak flow data through 2021.  Flood documentation maps showing the extent and depth of flooding from the September 1-2, 2021, event were generated for five communities in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Digitized alluvial valley bottom of Muddy Creek in the Colorado River headwaters, Wyoming

We used a before-and-after study design to examine effects of changes in cattle grazing practices on channel stability in Muddy Creek, an arroyo in the Colorado River headwaters. The changes in grazing practices were abrupt and focused on keeping cattle out of the riparian zone and increasing herd movement. We digitized 620 meander loop cutoff geometries within the alluvial valley bottom of Muddy Creek and used the meander loop cutoff rate as a broad measure of channel stability. Poisson regression modeling of meander loop cutoff rate indicated that the change in grazing practices caused a decline in meander loop cutoff rate that was on the scale of an order of magnitude and independent of other hydroclimatic and human-caused factors. The polygon data released here was used to define the area of interest for digitizing meander loop cutoff geometries.

Estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the conterminous United States in 1990

This coverage contains estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the
conterminous United States in 1990 as reported by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (1990) and by Jerald Fletcher (West Virginia University,
written commun., 1992). Nitrogen-fertilizer sales estimates in this
coverage are reported for each county polygon in tons of actual nutrient
sold (inorganic nitrogen, phosphate, and potash) as distinct from total
tons of fertilizer product.
The data are summarized for fertilizer years (i.e. the 1987 fertilizer
year runs from July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987).
The polygons representing county boundaries in the conterminous United
States, as well as lakes, estuaries, and other nonland-area features were
derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) file representing the
1:2,000,000-scale map in the National Atlas of the United States (1970).

Pesticide concentrations in multiple stream matrices collected near Mead, Nebraska, 2022

The AltEn bioenergy plant (Mead, Nebraska, USA) previously (2015 to 2021) generated ethanol from almost 100% unused/expired treated corn seeds. This use of treated corn seeds as a feedstock for ethanol production resulted in accumulation of large amounts of contaminated wastewater and solid residue at the plant, a portion of which was applied to surrounding farmland. To better understand the potential long-term environmental effects from the processing of treated seeds, five nearby stream sites were sampled from March to July 2022 after the closure of the AltEn plant. Water and bed sediment were collected in March (prior to crop planting) through July and algae, fish, and insect samples were collected in July. Overall, 60 pesticide compounds (parents and transformation products) were detected across all matrices. In surface water samples, 52 pesticides were detected with thiamethoxam degradate (NOA-407475) having the highest concentration of 4556.2 nanograms per liter (ng/L). Algae samples had 19 pesticides detected with atrazine having the highest concentration of 191.37 nanograms per gram dry weight (ng/g d.w.). Bed sediment (bottom material) had a total of 15 pesticides detected with the highest concentration of 2.30 ng/g d.w. of acetochlor. Insect samples had 14 pesticides detected with the highest concentration of 116.10 ng/g d.w. of clothianidin. The last matrix, fish, had a total of 5 pesticides detected with the highest concentration being for atrazine of 2.21 ng/g d.w.

Remote Sensing Shrub/Grass National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Back-in-Time (BIT) Products for the Western U.S., 1985 - 2018

The need to monitor change in sagebrush steppe is urgent due to the increasing impacts of climate change, shifting fire regimes, and management practices on ecosystem health. Remote sensing provides a cost-effective and reliable method for monitoring change through time and attributing changes to drivers. We report an automated method of mapping rangeland fractional component cover over a large portion of the Northern Great Basin, USA, from 1986 to 2016 using a dense Landsat imagery time series. 2012 was excluded from the time-series due to a lack of quality imagery. Our method improved upon the traditional change vector method by considering the legacy of change at each pixel. We evaluate cover trends stratified by climate bin and assess spatial and temporal relationships with climate variables. Finally, we statistically evaluate the minimum time density needed to accurately characterize temporal patterns and relationships with climate drivers. Over the 30-yr period, shrub cover declined and bare ground increased. While few pixels had &gt;10% cover change, a large majority had at least some change. All fractional components had significant spatial relationships with water year precipitation (WYPRCP), maximum temperature (WYTMAX), and minimum temperature (WYTMIN) in all years. Shrub and sagebrush cover in particular respond positively to warming WYTMIN, resulting from the largest increases in WYTMIN being in the coolest and wettest areas, and respond negatively to warming WYTMAX because the largest increases in WYTMAX are in the warmest and driest areas. These data can be used to answer critical questions regarding the influence of climate change and the suitability of management practices. Component products can be downloaded from www.mrlc.gov.
