Elevation raster for Pennsylvania StreamStats

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and Susquehanna River Basin Commission, prepared hydro-conditioned geographic information systems (GIS) layers for use in the Pennsylvania StreamStats application. These data were used to update the peak flow and low flow regression equations for Pennsylvania. This dataset consists of digital elevation model rasters for each 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) area in Pennsylvania, one of the layer types needed to delineate watersheds within the HUC-8 areas, merged into a single dataset. The 59 HUCs represented by this dataset are 02040101, 02040102, 02040103, 02040104, 02040105, 02040106, 02040201, 02040202, 02040203, 02040205, 02050101, 02050102, 02050103, 02050104, 02050105, 02050106, 02050107, 02050201, 02050202, 02050203, 02050204, 02050205, 02050206, 02050301, 02050302, 02050303, 02050304, 02050305, 02050306, 02060002, 02060003, 02070002, 02070003, 02070004, 02070009, 04110003, 04120101, 04130002, 05010001, 05010002, 05010003, 05010004, 05010005, 05010006, 05010007, 05010008, 05010009, 05020001, 05020002, 05020003, 05020004, 05020005, 05020006, 05030101, 05030102, 05030103, 05030104, 05030105, and 05030106.

Gridded earthquake ground motions for the 2023 AASHTO Design Specifications

For designing bridges to safely resist earthquakes, the 2023 editions of the AASHTO (1) Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design, (2) LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, and (3) Guide Specifications for Seismic Isolation Design provide risk-targeted design ground motions via this data release and the corresponding USGS Seismic Design Web Services. The web services spatially interpolate the gridded ground motions of this data release for user-specified latitudes and longitudes. The attached files below for 8 site classes each provide risk-targeted spectral accelerations (in units of g) for a grid of latitudes and longitudes and 22 spectral periods, including 0.0 seconds for peak ground acceleration (denoted SA0P0). To compare these risk-targeted spectral accelerations with uniform-hazard counterparts analogous to those in previous editions of the AASHTO Design Specifications, corresponding risk coefficients are also provided (for all of the site classes in a single ZIP file). The risk coefficients are ratios of the risk-targeted divided by uniform-hazard spectral accelerations, with the latter for a 7% probability of being exceeded in 75 years. The risk-targeted and uniform-hazard spectral accelerations were both derived from the truncated USGS seismic hazard curves released in the "Associated Item."

Erosion Monitoring along the Coosa River, Alabama, using Terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging (T-LiDAR) Technology, 2014-2017

These datasets contain XYZ locations and other attributes of points from topographic bank surveys at six sites downstream from three dams on the Coosa River in Alabama, from October 2014 through July 2017. At the four sites downstream from H. Neely Henry and Walter Bouldin Dams, topographic data were collected using a motion-compensated LiDAR (MC-LiDAR) system mounted on a marine survey vessel equipped with an inertial navigation system (INS). Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along a survey line near the site. Data collection software integrated and stored the range and angular measurements from the LiDAR, and the horizontal and vertical position and attitude data of the vessel from the INS in real time. Data processing required computer software to extract topography data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information. At the two sites downstream from Logan Martin Dam, topographic data were collected using a tripod-based terrestrial LiDAR (T-LiDAR) system at several tripod setups distributed throughout the reach.  Data collection software integrated and stored the range and angular measurements from the T-LiDAR.  PolyWorks software was utilized to process the raw data, align the various scans in reference to one another, and extract the topography data in a useable format.  Point Cloud comparison software was then used to compute the distance and volume gain or loss between surveys.

Sediment macrofaunal composition and sediment geochemistry of deep-sea coral habitats after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, 2010-2016

Deep-sea corals create complex habitats that support distinct sediment communities. Several deep-sea coral habitats were impacted by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill, and recovery of associated sediment communities may take several years. While spill-associated organic enrichment may lead to increased abundances of tolerant taxa, toxic effects of the spill may lead to declines in sensitive groups. However, temporal variability in coral-associated sediment macrofauna is unknown and represents an important consideration for post-spill community assessments. Here we examine how the macrofaunal communities change over time at impacted and reference sites. From 2010 to 2016, we examined macrofaunal communities at multiple impacted and reference deep-sea coral sites to quantify post-spill temporal changes in community metrics coupled with sediment characteristics (e.g., grain size, organic carbon, and stable carbon isotopes). Study areas were located in the northern Gulf of Mexico on the continental slope off Louisiana and Mississippi. Sediment push cores were collected to assess composition, numerical abundance, and diversity of macrofauna (&gt;300 μm) and sediment geochemistry adjacent to deep-sea coral habitats.  These multi-year data provide an unprecedented 7-year post-spill baseline for assessing changes in coral-associated sediment communities in natural habitats than can help inform future monitoring and restoration activities.

Water-table contours and well numbers used to map groundwater-level change and groundwater storage change in 2023 in the regional aquifer and perched groundwater zone in Mountain Home area, southern Idaho

Groundwater in the arid Mountain Home area is vital to agricultural, municipal, industrial and other water users who are concerned about declining groundwater levels. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR), developed a hydrogeologic framework to provide a conceptual understanding of groundwater resources in the Mountain Home area. As part of the hydrogeologic framework, water-table contour and groundwater-level change maps were produced to describe the occurrence, movement, and change in groundwater. Water-table contours for spring 2023 (March 20 to 24, 2023) and autumn 2023 (November 1 to 7, 2023) were created for the regional aquifer and perched groundwater zone in the Mountain Home area. The well numbers and station names for sites used to create the water-table contours and groundwater-level change and groundwater storage change rasters are provided in this data release. The location, depth to water, and groundwater altitude for these wells can be accessed on USGS National Water Information System (NWIS), IDWR groundwater portal, or an annual water level monitoring report for IDWR permit 61-12090 (HDR, 2024). The interpreted 50-foot contours of the water table are also provided in this data release. The contours are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The water-table contours are divided into two water-bearing units - regional and perched groundwater zone - based on well depth and groundwater altitude. The water-table contours ranged from 2,350 to 3,650 feet above NAVD 88. The groundwater-level change at well sites from spring to autumn 2023 were interpolated over the study area and are provided in a raster. Groundwater-level change ranged from 22.01 ft decline to 15.44 ft rise. Groundwater-level change was multiplied by hydrogeologic unit storativity to estimate groundwater storage change from spring to autumn 2023. More information on the generation of the water-table contours, groundwater change maps, and perched groundwater delineation and limitations can be found in the companion report, SIR 2024-5124 (Hydrogeologic framework of the Mountain Home area, southern Idaho by L.M. Zinsser and S.D. Ducar).

Still images in JPEG format of the sediment surface in the grab sampler, collected by the U.S. Geological Survey on Stellwagen Bank during three surveys aboard the R/V Auk, September 2020 to August 2021

These data are a part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. The work was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited a total of 169 locations on Stellwagen Bank during three separate surveys from September 2020 to August 2021. During these surveys a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties including temperature, salinity, density, and fluorescence.

Skin mycobiomes of eastern North American bats

North American bats have experienced catastrophic population declines from white-nose syndrome (WNS), a fungal disease caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd). Although Pd can infect many hibernating bat species, population-level impacts of WNS vary by host species. Microbial skin assemblages, including the fungal component (mycobiome), can influence host resistance to infectious diseases; however, little is known about the influence the skin mycobiome of bats may have on susceptibility to WNS. We sampled ten bat species in the eastern United States that are known to be either susceptible, tolerant, or resistant to WNS by swabbing their wing skin. We then cultured fungi from the swabs, isolated morphologically distinct colonies of fungi, and identified the fungi through DNA sequencing. Using this culture-based approach, we compared skin mycobiome characteristics. The mycobiomes of WNS-susceptible bat species had significantly lower alpha diversity and abundance compared to WNS-tolerant species. Overall mycobiome structure did not vary based on WNS-susceptibility, but several yeast species were differentially abundant on WNS-tolerant bat species. Multi-locus phylogenies and scanning electron microscopy suggest that some yeasts likely represent novel taxa which may be adapted to colonizing bat skin. Further exploration of interactions between Pd and components of the mycobiome may prove useful for predicting susceptibility of bat populations and for developing effective mitigation strategies for WNS.

North American Breeding Bird Survey Dataset 1966 - 2017, version 2017.0

The 1966-2017 North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) dataset contains avian point count data for more than 700 North American bird taxa (species, races, and unidentified species groupings). These data are collected annually during the breeding season, primarily in June, along thousands of randomly established roadside survey routes in the United States and Canada. Routes are roughly 24.5 miles (39.2 km) long with counting locations placed at approximately half-mile (800-m) intervals, for a total of 50 stops. At each stop, a citizen scientist highly skilled in avian identification conducts a 3-minute point count, recording every bird seen or heard within a quarter-mile (400-m) radius. Surveys begin 30 minutes before local sunrise and take approximately 5 hours to complete. Routes are sampled once per year, with the total number of routes sampled per year growing over time; just over 500 routes were sampled in 1966, while in recent decades approximately 3000 routes have been sampled annually. In addition to avian count data, this dataset also contains survey date, survey start and end times, start and end weather conditions, a unique observer identification number, route identification information, and route location information including country, state, and BCR, as well as geographic coordinates of route start point, and an indicator of run data quality.

One-Minute Navigation Shapefile of Seismic-Reflection Data Collected in Eastern Rhode Island Sound in 1975 (A75_6_1MINNAV_SORT.SHP)

During 1975, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a seismic-reflection survey utilizing Uniboom seismics in eastern Rhode Island Sound aboard the Research Vessel Asterias. This cruise totalled 8 survey days. Data from this survey were recorded in analog form and archived at the USGS. Due to recent interest in the geology of Rhode Island Sound and in an effort to make the data more readily accessible while preserving the original paper records, the seismic data from this cruise were scanned and converted to TIFF images and SEG-Y data files. Navigation data were converted from LORAN-C time delays to latitudes and longitudes, which are available in ESRI shapefile format and as eastings and northings in space-delimited text format.

Magnetotelluric sounding data, station 29, north of Wells, Nevada, 2005

This dataset includes the magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data collected in 2005 along an east-west profile north of Wells, Nevada. It is important to know whether major mining districts in the Northern Nevada Gold Province are underlain by rocks of the Archean Wyoming craton, which are known to contain orogenic gold deposits, or by accreted rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Mojave province. It is also important to know the location and orientation of the Archean/Proterozoic suture zone between these provinces as well as major basement structures within these terranes because they may influence subsequent patterns of sedimentation, deformation, magmatism, and hydrothermal activity. This study was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Resources Program in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
