GIS Data for Geologic and Structure Maps of the Wallace 1 x 2 Degrees Quadrangle, Montana and Idaho

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides an updated digital geospatial database for the geologic and structure maps of the Wallace 1 degree x 2 degrees quadrangle, Montana and Idaho (Harrison and others, 2000). Attribute tables and geospatial features (lines and polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (USGS NCGMP, 2020) and represent the geologic map as published in USGS Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map I-1509-A (Harrison and others, 1986). Minor errors, such as mistakes in line decoration or differences between the digital data and the map image, are corrected in this version.

The database represents the geology for the 16,754 square kilometer, geologically complex Wallace quadrangle in northern Idaho and western Montana, at a publication scale of 1:250,000. The map covers primarily Lake, Mineral, Sanders and Shoshone Counties, but also includes minor parts of Flathead, Lincoln, and Missoula Counties. These GIS data supersede those in the interpretive report (Harrison and others, 2000).

Geochemical Advances in Arctic Alaska Oil Typing – North Slope Oil Correlation and Charge History

Citation Note: These data were collected as part of a research study published in Marine and Petroleum Geology. Please reference the following paper when citing these data. 
Botterell, P.J., Houseknecht, D.W., Lillis, P.G, Barbanti, S.M., Dahl, J.E, and Moldowan, J.M., 2021. Geochemical advances in Arctic Alaska oil typing – North Slope oil correlation and charge history. Marine and Petroleum Geology 127. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2020.104878.
The Arctic Alaska petroleum province is geologically and geochemically complex. Mixed hydrocarbon charge from multiple source rocks and/or levels of thermal maturity is common within an individual oil pool. Biomarker and chemometric statistical analyses were used to correlate twenty-nine oils to five oil families derived from: (1) Triassic Shublik Formation (calcareous organofacies), (2) Triassic Shublik Formation (shaly organofacies), (3) Jurassic Kingak Shale, (4) Cretaceous shale (pebble shale unit and Hue Shale), and (5) Paleogene shale (Canning Formation). Age-diagnostic and source-related oil biomarker parameters establish clear genetic relationships between the normal oil-window components and their putative source designations. However, application of diamondoid analyses reveals mixed-oil accumulations with postmature charge contributions (diamondoid-rich and biomarker-poor) in many oils. 
Most sampled reservoirs contain a predominant charge derived from a single oil-window source plus a minor contribution from one or more higher maturity source(s). Variations in source organofacies also are recognized in the Shublik, Kingak, and Cretaceous oil families. In some cases, oils from multiple pools within a single field display relatively homogeneous geochemical profiles, suggesting a common source and migration pathway. For example, oil from the significant Pikka discovery is inferred to originate mainly from the calcareous Shublik Formation. In other cases, variability among oils from multiple pools within a single field (e.g., Milne Point, Colville River, and Northstar) likely indicates a more complex source, migration, and charge history. Results may be useful for anticipating the composition of oil charge in stratigraphic traps with low-permeability sandstone reservoirs, where oil gravity and other chemical parameters may influence economic viability.

Model parameter input files to compare locations of coral reef restoration on different reef profiles to reduce coastal flooding

This dataset consists of physics-based XBeach Non-hydrostatic hydrodynamic models input files used to study how coral reef restoration affects waves and wave-driven water levels over coral reefs, and the resulting wave-driven runup on the adjacent shoreline. Coral reefs are effective natural coastal flood barriers that protect adjacent communities. Coral degradation compromises the coastal protection value of reefs while also reducing their other ecosystem services, making them a target for restoration. Here we provide a physics-based evaluation of how coral restoration can reduce coastal flooding for various types of reefs.
These input files accompany the modeling conducted for the following publication: Roelvink, F.E., Storlazzi, C.D., van Dongeren, A.R., and Pearson, S.G., 2021, Coral reef restorations can be optimized to reduce coastal flooding hazards: Frontiers in Marine Science, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2021.653945.

Elevation of top of Precambrian rocks from previous USGS studies of the Colorado Plateau

For use as part of a regional petroleum assessment, the USGS in the early 1990’s developed a dataset reporting elevation on the surface of the Precambrian basement of the central and southern Colorado Plateau and vicinity (Butler, 1991). This dataset was released as paper report that included a table of basement elevations at more than 3,700 control points, including outcrop data of Precambrian rock on the plateau periphery, plus borehole data, seismic data, and depth estimated from a variety of published maps and  stratigraphic sections. A contoured map of these data was released as a figure in an interpretive report (Blank and others, 1998). 
This digital dataset contains spatial datasets corresponding to the elevation of the Precambrian basement tabulated by Butler (1991) and the derived contour map (Blank and others, 1998). Basement elevation at control points is contained within a point feature class within the geodatabase. Points are attributed by type of data, method used to estimate top of Precambrian rocks from the data, and an estimation of the confidence in the reported elevation values. Contoured elevation data are contained in a line feature class within the geodatabase. Both types of data are also saved as individual shapefiles. Nonspatial tables define the data sources, terminology, and methods used.

Bathymetric Data Collection for Larimore Dam in North Dakota, August 2020

Data were collected in August, 2020 to support development of a bathymetric map for Larimore Dam in Grand Forks County, North Dakota. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveying equipment was used in static and real-time kinematic (RTK) mode to establish a local reference mark and check-in/check-out point, to collect water surface elevations, and to collect topographic points along established data collection transects. Topographic points were collected on land, in water too shallow for boating, and in areas of the lake where thick aquatic vegetation prohibited use of an echosounder and transducer. In areas of the lake deep enough for boating and where aquatic vegetation was not present, depth data was collected using an echosounder with a dual frequency (200/24 kilohertz with a 4/20 degree beam) transducer. Data were collected on a set of transects roughly perpendicular to the axis of the waterbody, plus on a set of oblique transects that intersected the regular transects. Data collected on the oblique transects is intended to be used in map accuracy and quality-assurance/quality-control measures. Bar checks were completed twice daily (before and after echosounder data were collected) on August 4 and August 7. GNSS RTK was used to navigate the survey vessel on data collection transects. This data release includes a polyline shapefile and metadata describing the data collection transects, a point shapefile and metadata describing the data collected with GNSS RTK, a point shapefile and metadata describing the edited data collected with echosounder and transducer, and a comma spaced variable file containing raw echosounder data with associated metadata.

Airborne electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric survey, upper East River and surrounding watersheds near Crested Butte, Colorado, 2017

This data release consists of 1,984 line-kilometers of airborne electromagnetic (AEM), magnetic data and radiometric data collected from October to November 2017 in the upper East River and surrounding watersheds in central Colorado. The U.S. Geological Survey contracted Geotech Ltd. to acquire these data as part of regional investigations into the geologic structure and hydrologic framework of the area. The AEM data have been inverted to produce a series of regional cross-sections that constrain the electrical properties of the subsurface to a depth of ~500m. Data were acquired using the VTEM ET time-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic system along flight lines that cross important geological structures over a 483 square kilometer area. In addition to magnetic and radiometric data, this data release includes minimally processed AEM data, processed AEM data used in the development of resistivity and induced polarization (IP) models, and laterally constrained inverse models for resistivity and IP parameters along all flight lines. Data that intersected cultural infrastructure have been removed from the processed AEM data prior to inversion.

Airborne magnetic flight line data, Charleston, South Carolina and surrounds, 2019

Airborne magnetic gradiometry data are provided here as part of the data release, "Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Charleston, South Carolina and surrounds, 2019." This data release includes the processed aeromagnetic horizontal gradiometry flight line data provided in an ascii .csv file and a geoTIFF image showing the magnetic intensity in nanoTeslas (nT). The contractor report and deliverables package are available on the parent page, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9EWQ08L.
These data were collected as part of a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over Charleston, South Carolina and the surrounding region with a goal of better understanding earthquake hazards in the Charleston seismic zone by imaging structural features in the crystalline basement, and to image heavy mineral sands containing titanium, zirconium, and rare earth elements using radiometric data (gamma spectrometry), which is sensitive to thorium in monazite. This survey represents a collaborative effort by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program, Mineral Resources Program, National Cooperative Mapping Program, and Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) effort. 
Data for this survey were collected by Terraquest, Ltd. under contract with the USGS using a fixed wing aircraft with magnetometers mounted in the tail stinger and each wing tip pod and a fully calibrated gamma ray spectrometer from May to July of 2019. The survey covers a 134-kilometer x 90-kilometer rectangular area parallel to the Atlantic Ocean shoreline along the long axis. Data were collected along northwest-southeast flight lines spaced 400 meters (m) apart with northeast-southwest tie lines flown every 4000 m. A mean terrain clearance of 127 m was maintained. Most of the survey data were collected at lower flying heights, except near and over the City of Charleston higher clearance was maintained due to safety considerations. A total of 32,447-line kilometers (km) of data were collected.

Immunological histopathology of American kestrels (Falco sparverius) exposed in ovo to two persistent organic pollutants -- SCCPs and TBBPA-BDBPE

This work is part of a study of the immunological effects of exposure to alternative flame retardants in avian species. For the pathology portion of the study, spleens and bursas from American kestrels (Falco sparverius) exposed by egg injection to varying doses of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and the flame retardant TBBPA-BDBPE were examined microscopically for architectural and cellular abnormalities. At euthanasia, spleen and bursa of Fabricius were collected and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histopathological assessment. Slides were processed and stained with hematoxalin and eosin as per standard procedure (Luna 1968).  Quantitative and qualitative B and T cell parameters were assessed by light microscopy. Specifically, variables assessed included the following: spleen: total area; number, thickness and area of peri-arteriolar lymphoid sheaths; number and diameter of lymphoid follicles; bursa: follicular and medullary area; cellular density; apoptosis; heterophil infiltration; presence of follicular cysts. Evaluation of the architecture and cellular population of immune organs will shed light on potential functional immunological effects of exposure that may lead to increased susceptibility to infectious disease or affect normal growth and development of the chick.
