Lithium observations, machine-learning predictions, and mass estimates from the Smackover Formation brines in southern Arkansas

Global demand for lithium, the primary component of lithium-ion batteries, greatly exceeds known supplies and this imbalance is expected to increase as the world transitions away from fossil fuel energy sources. The goal of this work was to calculate the total lithium mass in brines of the Reynolds oolite unit of the Smackover Formation in southern Arkansas using predicted lithium concentrations from a machine-learning model. This research was completed collaboratively between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment—Office of the State Geologist.  
The Smackover Formation is a laterally extensive petroleum and brine system in the Gulf Coast region that includes locally high concentrations of bromide and lithium in southern Arkansas. This data release contains input files, Python scripts, and an R script used to prepare input files, create a random forest (RF) machine-learning model to predict lithium concentrations, and compute uncertainty in brines of the Reynolds oolite unit of the Smackover Formation in southern Arkansas. This data release also contains a Python script to calculate the total mass of lithium in brines of the Reynolds oolite unit of the Smackover Formation in southern Arkansas based on porosity. Knowledge of data-science and Python and R programming languages is a prerequisite for executing the workflow associated with this product. Users can execute the scripts to prepare input data, train a RF machine-learning model, compute uncertainty, and calculate lithium mass. Explanatory variables used to train the RF model included geologic, geochemical, and temperature data from either published datasets or created and documented in this data release and the associated companion publication (Knierim and others, 2024). See the associated metadata for details.
This data release also includes output files (csvs [comma-delimited, plain-text] and rasters [geospatial grids]) of lithium concentration predictions from the RF model, uncertainty ranges, and lithium mass. The depth of prediction of lithium concentration represents the mid-point depth of the Reynolds oolite unit which varies between approximately 3,500 and 11,300 feet deep (below land-surface datum) and 0 and 400 feet thick across the model domain. For a full explanation of methods and results, see the companion manuscript Knierim and others (2024).

Chemistry and Isotope Data  
Sample Collection: 
Water samples were collected from approximately 100 feet (30 meters) below the water table using either a 4 foot or 6 foot long stainless-steel bailers with an inner diameter of 0.5 in. Samples for anion concentration measurements were poured into 60 ml polypropylene bottles through 0.45mm pore-diameter filter. Raw (unfiltered, unpreserved) samples for oxygen-18 and deuterium isotope analyses were stored in 30 ml glass bottles.  
Sample Analyses: 
The concentrations of sulfate (SO42-), chloride (Cl-), and fluoride (F-) in samples collected until October 2003 were determined with a Dionex DX-300 ion chromatograph, and since October 2003 with a Dionex ICS-2000 ion chromatograph at the U.S. Geological Survey laboratories in Menlo Park, California, with analytical errors better than 3%. Concentrations of fluoride were usually at or below the analytical detection limit. Total alkalinity was determined on stored samples by titrating ten milliliters of sample with 0.05 N sulfuric acid to the bicarbonate end-point. The analytical error in the determined alkalinity concentrations is approximately 5%. Starting in March 2018, alkalinity has been determined in the field using a portable titrator.   
Oxygen-18 and deuterium isotope analyses were stored in 30 ml glass bottles and analyzed at the USGS laboratories in Reston, Virginia. Analysis of oxygen isotopes was according to the methods of Epstein and Mayeda [1953] with a precision of ±0.1°, and the hydrogen isotopes were analyzed according to the method described in Kendall and Coplen [1985] and Coplen et al. [1991] with a precision of ±1.5°.

Diet Data from the Western Basin of Lake Erie Examining White and Yellow Perch, 2012-2016

A fish’s diet is the integrated response of multiple ecological interactions including habitat use, foraging behavior, prey community characteristics, and inter-specific interactions. Fish diet samples have quantified how the invasion of white perch into Lake Erie in the early 1950s has influenced interactions with native yellow perch, which are similar in morphology and habitat use. Early research largely concluded that given the high foraging efficiency of white perch there is both high potential for inter-specific competition and that the invasion of white perch has negatively affected yellow perch. As part of a biannual (spring and autumn) Lake Erie Western Basin Forage Fish Assessment, the USGS Lake Erie Biological Station collected and analyzed diets of age-2-and-older yellow perch and white perch from 2012-2016 to assess possible inter-specific ecological interactions. Information collected from the diets (presence/absence of prey and dry weight of prey (g)) and effort data (coordinates of fish capture) have been uploaded. Information on how fish were captured and how diets were processed can be found in the meta data document provided.

Airborne geophysical survey: Michigan Coop South '63

Aeromagnetic data were collected along flight lines by instruments in an aircraft that recorded magnetic-field values and locations. In the earlier days of surveying, the only way to represent this data was to generate an analog map with contour lines. This dataset is a representation of the digitized contour lines either by following the lines or by choosing the intersection of the contour and flight-line to create a value of the magnetic field. The values presented are latitude, longitude, and map magnetic-field values.

SUTRA model simulations used to evaluate heat flow from microbial activity at a crude oil-contaminated site.

A steady-state, two-dimensional, heat transport model was created using SUTRA, 
version 2.2, modified to allow for spatially-variable thermal properties and density 
and viscosity variation with temperature. The model includes physical and hydrologic 
characteristics of the Bemidji Research Site, a crude-oil contaminated research site, 
along with previous-published parameter values for physical, chemical and 
biodegradation properties. Pipeline infrastructure temperatures were calibrated 
using a background model and measured average annual temperatures. The 
model was constructed to test whether temperature measurements can be 
used at field sites to measure microbial activity and to calculate the heat from 
microbial degradation and site infrastructure. This USGS data release contains 
all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated 
journal article (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconhyd.2018.03.011). This data release 
also includes model program source files and the compiled program.

A New Approach for Representing Agent-Environment Feedbacks: Coupled Agent-Based and State-And-Transition Simulation Models

Agent-based models (ABMs) and state-and-transition simulation models (STSMs) are two classes of simulation models that have proven useful for understanding the processes underlying complex, dynamic ecosystems and evaluating practical questions about how ecosystems will respond to different scenarios of global change and environmental management. ABMs can simulate many types of agents (i.e., autonomous units, such as wildlife, livestock, people, or viruses) and are advantageous because they can represent agent characteristics, decision-making, adaptive behavior, mobility, and interactions, and can capture feedbacks between agents and their environment. STSMs are flexible and intuitive models of landscape dynamics that can track landscape attributes and management scenarios, and integrate diverse data types (e.g., output from correlative and mechanistic models). Both ABMs and STSMs can be run spatially and track important metrics of management success, including costs. Despite the complementarity of these two approaches, they have not been connected through a dynamic linkage until now. We report on analytical techniques and software tools that we developed to couple these modeling approaches using NetLogo, R, and the ST-Sim package for SyncroSim. We demonstrate the capabilities and value of this new approach through a proof-of-concept modeling example focused on bison-vegetation interactions in Badlands National Park. This coupled approach: 1) streamlines handling of model inputs and outputs; 2) increases the temporal resolution of agent-environment interactions that are available in ST-Sim; 3) minimizes assumptions; and 4) generates more realistic spatio-temporal patterns. With the developments presented here, modelers can now use output from an ABM to dictate changes in vegetation and their characteristics within an STSM, and create more realistic and management-relevant simulations.

Physiographic Shell Zones of the Sea Floor of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts (BuzzardsBay_ShellZones, polygon shapefile, Geographic WGS 84)

Geologic, sediment texture, and physiographic zone maps characterize the sea floor of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. These maps were derived from interpretations of seismic-reflection profiles, high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, bottom photographs, and surficial sediment samples. The interpretation of the seismic stratigraphy and mapping of glacial and Holocene marine units provided a foundation on which the surficial maps were created. This mapping is a result of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management to characterize the surface and subsurface geologic framework offshore of Massachusetts.

Bathymetric data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, LA, 2006-2007 (BATHY_GRD.ASC, ESRI ASCII GRID)

In 2006 and 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey, in partnership with Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and the University of New Orleans, conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor and shallow subsurface stratigraphy offshore of the Chandeleur Islands in Eastern Louisiana. The mapping was carried out during two cruises on the R/V Acadiana. Data were acquired with the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kHz), Klein 3000 dual frequency sidescan sonar, and an Edgetech 512i chirp subbottom profiling system. The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-quality geologic maps and geophysical interpretations that can be utilized to investigate the impact of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and to identify sand resources within the region.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2016 Site 0310 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2016 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Three previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, and 2012). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.
