Electrical resistivity tomography, electromagnetic induction, and ultraviolet optical scanning tool data collected at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Great Falls, Montana, August 28–August 31, 2023

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer Center (USAF/CEC), conducted a pilot study at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB) to evaluate the utility of two non-invasive geophysical techniques for detecting hydrocarbon contamination in subsurface materials. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and electromagnetic induction (EMI) surveys were completed August 28–29, 2023, along 7 transects overtop known contaminated and uncontaminated sites for comparison. Additionally, the USGS completed ultraviolet optical scanning tool (UVOST) soundings and collected soil samples from temporary boreholes to validate geophysical survey results. A total of 11 UVOST soundings and 7 boreholes were completed August 28–31, 2023. Two soil samples from various depths were collected from each borehole for a total of 14 samples. Ten quality assurance/quality control samples were collected consisting of 2 field equipment blanks (1 per day), 4 replicate soil samples (2 per day), and 4 trip blanks (2 per day). Soils were tested for volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, gasoline range organics, diesel range organics, metals, and per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS/PFOA).

Luminescence of AG129 mice infected with recombinant Monkeypox virus expressing firefly luciferase

Adult AG129 mice (129/Sv background deficient in alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) and IFN-Ɣ receptors) were infected with recombinant Monkeypox virus (MPXV)expressing firefly luciferase by either intranasal (IN) or intraperitoneal (IP) routes. Experimental infections were conducted in a BSL-3 laboratory at the USGS National Wildlife Health Center, with a clade II MPXV that expresses firefly luciferase, as described in Osorio et. al, 2009 (MPXV/USA/luc). Twelve AG129 mice (8 males and 4 females) were infected intranasally with 105 plaque forming units (PFU) (5 ul, each nostril) of MPXV/USA/luc. Three control mice were inoculated in the same manner with an equal volume of PBS. Bioluminescent imaging was performed using an IVIS 200 series in vivo imager (Perkin Elmer, Oakland, CA). On days 19, 21, 23, and 25, post-infection, two to three mice were sacrificed to collect tissues. Twelve mice were also inoculated intraperitoneally with 105 PFU of the same virus diluted to 100 microliters of PBS. Three controls were injected intraperitoneally with the same volume of PBS. Two to three mice in this group were sacrificed on days 3, 5, 7, and 9 post-infection. Although tissues were collected, no further analysis was performed. Bioluminescent imaging was performed every other day from day 1 until day 29. Luminescence data was analyzed using Living Image software, version 3.2 (Perkin Elmer, Oakland, CA). Region of Interest (ROI) analysis was performed, using rectangular ROIs that covered the mouse body from nose to rump, excluding the tail unless significant luminescence was present on the tail. Luminescence within ROIs was quantified as total flux in photons per second (p/s).

Rapid-response digital elevation models of the summit eruptions at Kilauea Volcano, Island of Hawai'i in 2023 (updated 2023-10-24)

We depict changing eruptive features within the summit caldera of Kilauea volcano, Island of Hawai'i with rapid-response digital elevation models (DEMs) acquired since a series of caldera-filling effusive eruptions began on December 20, 2020. These eruptions follow the caldera collapse of 2018, with new lava progressively filling the approximately 1-cubic-kilometer pit that formed between May and August of that year. The majority of the provided DEMs were constructed via structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry from either helicopter or uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) overflight images, with the remainder constructed via terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) from the Halema'uma'u crater rim. These data were collected and processed using streamlined techniques to provide rapid-response representations of topography inside the caldera, with mid-grade process settings and approximate georeferencing.

Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the Elwha River delta, Washington, August 2022

This portion of the USGS data release presents digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from bathymetric and topographic surveys conducted on the Elwha River delta in August 2022 (USGS Field Activity Number 2022-638-FA). Nearshore bathymetry data were collected using two personal watercraft (PWCs) and a kayak equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers. Topographic data were collected on foot with survey-grade GNSS receivers mounted on backpacks. Positions of the survey platforms were referenced to a GNSS base station placed on a benchmark with known horizontal and vertical coordinates relative to the North American Datum of 1983 (CORS96 realization) and North American Vertical Datum of 1988 based on NGS Geoid09 vertical offsets. The final data were projected in Cartesian coordinates using the Washington State Plane North (meters) coordinate system. A total of 1,285,634 individual elevation points were collected within the survey area between August 8 and August 11, 2022. DEM surfaces were produced from all available elevation data using linear interpolation. Two separate DEMs were constructed. A DEM was produced that covered the entire survey area (approximately 482 ha) with 5-m horizontal resolution. A second DEM with 1-m resolution was produced that covered the river mouth and adjacent areas (approximately 209 ha). The DEMs were created by interpolating between measurements as much as 50 meters apart. For this reason, we cannot evaluate the accuracy of each point in the DEM, only the measurements it is based on. The estimated vertical uncertainties of the bathymetric and topographic measurements are 12 and 5 cm, respectively. Digital data files for each DEM are provided in ESRI ARC ASCII (*.asc) format.

Molecular data and results needed to better understand codiversification of freshwater mussels (Unionidae: Quadrulini) and their parasitic larval hosts

The North American freshwater mussel tribe Quadrulini has a suite of life history adaptations, however, the evolution of life histories in this group has yet to be explored using comparative phylogenetic methods. Here we provide the AHE DNA sequence alignment representing 27 species from the subfamily Ambleminae that was used to estimate a phylogenomic reconstruction of Quadrulini. Additionally, we provide a compilation of host use information and larval length and height measurements utilized to trace the evolution of life history characteristics, such as larval morphology and host attraction strategy. Phylogenetic trees are presented representing phylogenetic inference performed under Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Parsimony, Bayesian Inference, and coalescent-based approaches. Findings from these datasets and analyses suggest the diversification of Quadrulini has been influenced by the codiversification of their larval hosts.

Spatial data of oil and gas pads and access roads on the Colorado Plateau, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico

This data release contains spatial data on the location, number, size and extent of energy-related surface disturbances on the Colorado Plateau of Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico as of 2016. The database includes: 1) polygons of oil and gas pads generated from automated and manual classification of aerial imagery, and 2) polylines of roads derived from the U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line Shapefile, supplemented with additional oil and gas access roads digitized from aerial imagery. Pad polygons and road segments are attributed with a "spud year" date based on spud information from the nearest well point. Spudding is the process of beginning to drill a well in the oil and gas industry, and the spud year is a close approximation of when the access roads and pads were cleared for development. The spud year information can be used to develop a chronology of oil and gas surface disturbances across the study region. The remote sensing-based pad mapping captures bright soil of disturbed areas on active pads (not reclaimed areas or other features), and is likely an underestimate of the actual pad size in many areas. The remote sensing mapping methods may also capture areas of bright soils that are not part of a pad, especially in locations surrounded by very bright desert soils.

Data-Driven Drought Prediction Project Model Inputs for Upper and Lower Colorado Portions of the National Hydrologic Geo-Spatial Fabric version 1.1 and Select U.S. Geological Survey Streamgage Basins: Daily Climate Metrics Derived from GridMET, 1980 - 2020

These tabular data sets represent daily climate metrics processed from 4 kilometer GridMET data (Abatzoglou, 2013) for the period of record 1980 through 2020 and compiled for three spatial components: select United States Geological Survey stream gage basins (Staub and Wieczorek, 2023),  2) individual reach flowline catchments of the Upper and Lower Colorado (ucol) portions of the Geospatial Fabric for the National Hydrologic Model, version 1.1 (nhgfv11, Bock and others, 2020 ), and 3) the upstream watersheds of each individual nhgfv11 flowline catchments.  Flowline reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale using the python tool set called gdptools (McDonald, 2021). Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions. Network-accumulated values were computed using the published python software package Xstrm (Wieferich and others). The following daily climate metrics were processed: minimum and maximum temperature (Celsius), precipitation (millimeters), potential evapotranspiration (millimeters), reference evapotranspiration (millimeters), and 5 day standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (unitless).

CoRE (Contractions or Range Expansions) Database: Global Database of Species Range Shifts from 1802-2019

The CoRE (Contractions or Range Expansions) database contains a library of published literature and data on species range shifts in response to climate change. Through a systematic review of publications returned from searches on Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus, we selected primary research articles that documented or attempted to document species-level distribution shifts in animal or plant species in response to recent anthropogenic climate change. We extracted data in four broad categories: (i) basic study information (study duration, location, data quality and methodological factors); (ii) basic species information (scientific names and taxonomic groups); (iii) information on the observed range shifts (range dimension, occupancy or abundance shift, and range edge); and (iv) the description of the shift (range shift direction, magnitude of the shift, and whether it supported our hypotheses). We also took note of climate drivers mentioned and details on species vulnerability and adaptive capacity.
