Mauna Loa 2022 summit and Northeast Rift Zone eruption — sample sites

In the late evening of November 27, 2022, an effusive eruption began inside Moku'aweoweo caldera at the summit of Mauna Loa volcano. Within a few hours, lava had covered most of the caldera floor, and several fissures just outside caldera sent short lava flows up to 3 kilometers (2 miles) to the southwest. Later in the morning of November 28, summit effusion ceased and the eruption moved into the volcano's Northeast Rift Zone. Several rift zone fissures were initially active, but by November 30 effusion had focused at a vent known as fissure 3. For another 10 days, fissure 3 fountained and fed lava flows that eventually stretched 18 kilometers (11 miles) to the north, threatening but not reaching the Daniel K. Inouye Highway across the island's interior. Effusion from fissure 3 began declining overnight December 7–8 and ceased on December 10, by which time the eruption had covered approximately 36 square kilometers (14 square miles) of Mauna Loa with new lava. In this report, the authors have sought to chronicle this sequence of events using geospatial data in the form of an Esri file geodatabase, Esri shapefiles, and Google Earth KMZs, as well as rapid-response orthomosaic and thermal map rasters.

Horizontal and vertical accuracy assessments of digital surface model (DSM) and digital elevation model (DEM) data for the Colorado River corridor in Grand Canyon National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (2002, 2009, 2013 and 2021)

The horizontal accuracy assessment dataset consists of spatial coordinate and elevation values of “hard points” identified in each digital surface model (DSM) dataset and their spatial location data from the geodetic control network maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GCMRC). Surveyed “hard points” represent stationary natural features, such as corners of large boulders, that are visible in aerial imagery and elevation datasets and are in the geodetic control network maintained by the USGS, GCMRC. The vertical accuracy assessment dataset consists of pixel elevation values extracted from the DSM and digital elevation model (DEM) datasets for 926 “control points”. Surveyed "control points" represent survey marks and benchmarks in the geodetic control network maintained by the USGS, GCMRC. Each “hard point” and control point is denoted by a unique identifier from the Grand Canyon survey control network database maintained by the USGS, GCMRC. All point location are denoted by the distance upstream or downstream along the river channel from Lees Ferry, AZ. The temporal extent of the data is for the years 2002, 2009, 2013, and 2021, and the spatial extent is for the segment of the Colorado River riparian corridor from Glen Canyon Dam downstream to Pearce Ferry, AZ.

Mauna Loa 2022 summit and Northeast Rift Zone eruption — lava flow morphology lines

In the late evening of November 27, 2022, an effusive eruption began inside Moku'aweoweo caldera at the summit of Mauna Loa volcano. Within a few hours, lava had covered most of the caldera floor, and several fissures just outside caldera sent short lava flows up to 3 kilometers (2 miles) to the southwest. Later in the morning of November 28, summit effusion ceased and the eruption moved into the volcano's Northeast Rift Zone. Several rift zone fissures were initially active, but by November 30 effusion had focused at a vent known as fissure 3. For another 10 days, fissure 3 fountained and fed lava flows that eventually stretched 18 kilometers (11 miles) to the north, threatening but not reaching the Daniel K. Inouye Highway across the island's interior. Effusion from fissure 3 began declining overnight December 7–8 and ceased on December 10, by which time the eruption had covered approximately 36 square kilometers (14 square miles) of Mauna Loa with new lava. In this report, the authors have sought to chronicle this sequence of events using geospatial data in the form of an Esri file geodatabase, Esri shapefiles, and Google Earth KMZs, as well as rapid-response orthomosaic and thermal map rasters.

Time series of seismic velocity changes around Mauna Loa from 2012 to 2024 derived from coda wave interferometry of repeating earthquakes

These processed data were created to investigate seismic velocity changes associated with the period of extended unrest and eruption at Mauna Loa, Island of Hawaiʻi. Primary data (i.e., seismic waveforms) are hosted at NSF SAGE Facility (https://service.iris.edu/) and were ingested by the code CWIRE Version 1.0.0 (https://doi.org/10.5066/P13BKSJJ) to produce the data analyzed in Hotovec-Ellis 'Seismic velocity changes from repetitive seismicity at Mauna Loa prior to and during its 2022 eruption.' This release contains the inputs and commands used to generate the derived data as text files of the inverted continuous time series, .pdf figures for human visual interpretation of those time series, and text files of the raw velocity measurements for millions of pairs of earthquakes. See README.txt for further documentation.

REDPy Catalogs for Mauna Loa (2012-2024)

REDPy (short for Repeating Earthquake Detector in Python) is a seismic tool for automatically detecting and grouping earthquakes based on the similarity of their waveforms into "families" of related events. It can be used in near real-time for monitoring or for research. The catalogs in this release bracket the late-2022 eruption of Mauna Loa, Island of Hawaiʻi; two separate catalogs are provided for different uses. The REDPy "Canonical" Catalog spans from 2012-01-01 to 2024-01-01 (UTC). Early 2012 is the start of openly available data from the "HV" network archived in the NSF SAGE Facility (https://service.iris.edu/). Waveforms from the vertical components of six seismometers near the summit of Mauna Loa (i.e., ALEP, MOKD, WILD, SWRD, TRAD, and DAND) were downloaded and filtered from 1 to 10 Hz. Triggers were created at the time of known local earthquakes or when four of the six stations exceed the default threshold for the STA/LTA triggering algorithm. Events were considered part of a family if they cross-correlate above 0.7 with at least one other member of the family on at least three of the six stations. This catalog most closely resembles the configuration that was used for near real-time monitoring in the lead-up to the eruption, but has been processed for reproducibility. The REDPy "HF" (Higher Frequency) Catalog spans from 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01 (UTC). Apart from the shorter time span, the fundamental difference from the "Canonical" catalog is that the waveforms were filtered from 5 to 15 Hz after download. During the eruption, volcanic tremor dominated the recorded seismograms from 1 to 5 Hz, and this setting aimed to filter that out and allow discrete earthquakes to trigger during the eruption. The ~11 months of time prior to the eruption are included for comparison with the "Canonical" catalog. This release contains the inputs and commands used to generate the catalogs, as well as both the text catalogs and interactive outputs. See README.txt for further documentation.

Estimated Streamflow Using Satellite Data for Selected Rivers in Alaska

This dataset provides estimated Remote Sensing Streamflow (RSQ) data at selected river reaches in Alaska. Reach-specific relations between satellite-derived water-surface elevation data and dynamic surface water extent data were used with a modified form of the Manning's streamflow equation to estimate streamflows. The streamflow estimates were used to create rating tables that define the relation between discharge and satellite-observed water-surface elevation. The streamflow estimates in the gage_data.csv files are derived from these rating tables, interpolated using a polynomial regression equation. Data are organized in child items named for each river reach. Reach-specific details are provided in a README file contained in each child item as a Portable Document Format (PDF).
      A shapefile (all_sites.shp) is provided to show coordinate locations of the RSQ gage sites along with a comma separated value (CSV) formatted file (ALL_SITES_RSQ_GAGE_DATA.csv) containing all estimated records for the RSQ gage sites. A web map service of the RSQ gage site locations and attribute table is also available on this page.

Assessment of Mercury, Mercury Stable Isotopes, and Trace Metals in Waters, Sediments, and Biota from Great Salt Lake, Utah

Great Salt Lake (GSL) is a designated Site of Hemispheric Importance for migratory birds by the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network. Elevated mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) levels related to current inputs and past industrial contamination pose a potential threat to GSL biota, in addition to waterfowl hunters that utilize GSL and surrounding wetland areas. Sediments, invertebrates (brine shrimp, brine flies, and spiders), and waterfowl (northern shoveler and cinnamon teal) were targeted within these studies to determine relative source contributions of Hg and trace elements to the GSL system, determine which sources of mercury are actively bioaccumulating in GSL food webs, assess controls on mercury cycling within the GSL system, and assess MeHg toxicity risk to waterfowl. Hg stable isotopes were heavily employed as tracers of Hg sources and processing. These data are a part of larger studies and associated with upcoming journal articles.
