Digital Elevation Model of Glen Canyon Prior to the Flooding of Lake Powell from Historic Topographic Surveys, Utah and Arizona

Development of a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the pre-Glen Canyon Dam topography in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah and Arizona was initiated to assist the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in its Lake Powell coring program in the fall of 2018 (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/ut-water/science/lake-powell-coring). Topographic surveys of Glen Canyon were commissioned by the Bureau of Reclamation during the planning stages for Lake Powell as part of the Colorado River Storage Project (S. 500, 1956). The Colorado River arm was surveyed by Alster and Associates, Inc. in 1958 and 1959 at a contour interval of 10-feet from the river surface at the future dam site through where the 3,750-foot contour crosses the channel (above Hite, UT). The San Juan River arm was surveyed by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc. in 1947 at a contour interval of 20-feet from the confluence between the San Juan and Colorado Rivers through where the 4,100-foot contour crosses the channel (east of Mexican Hat, UT), though this DEM only includes topography up to 3,800 feet. Digitization of these contour maps into vector data was finalized in 2019 by the USGS Utah Water Science Center. The National Park Service, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the Bureau of Reclamation, and Glen Canyon Environmental Studies contributed in the digitization (c. 1999). The hydrologically corrected, 2-meter DEM was developed with the Topo to Raster tool in ArcMap (v. 10.6.1). These data are provided as-is and may be subject to revisions without warrant or consent.

Demographic modeling data (including code) at various sites in the Great Basin, USA

These data were compiled to determine whether transient population dynamics substantially alter population growth rates of sagebrush after disturbance, impede resilience and restoration, and in turn drive ecosystem transformation. Data were collected from 2014-2016 on sagebrush population height distributions at 531 sites across the Great Basin that had burned and were subsequently reseeded by the BLM. These data include field data on sagebrush density in 6 size classes and site attributes (seeding year, sampling year, random site designation, elevation, seeding rate). Also included are modeled spring soil moisture data at each site from the year of seeding to sampling. This data release includes associated software code allows the inference of demographic rates (survival, reproduction, and individual growth) of sagebrush using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo approaches in Stan (https://mc-stan.org/).

True color aerial imagery from unmanned aerial systems (UAS) flights and image locations: Plum Island Estuary and Parker River NWR (PIEPR), February 27th, 2018

Low-altitude (80 and 100 meters above ground level) digital images were taken over an area of the Plum Island Estuary and Parker River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Massachusetts  using 3DR Solo  unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) on February 27, 2018. These images were collected as part of an effort to document marsh stability over time and quantify sediment movement using UAS technology. Each UAS  was equipped with either a Ricoh GRII digital camera for natural color photos, used to produce digital elevation models and ortho images, or a MicaSense RedEdge multi-spectral camera that captures five specific bands of the visible spectrum (blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared), which can be used to classify vegetation. The MicaSense camera covered a smaller subsection of the same polygonal area of the marsh that the Ricoh imaged. Some photographs contain black and white targets used as ground control points (GCPs), which were surveyed by a field crew with a high-precision Real Time Kinematic Global Position System. This data release includes the original images from both cameras, as well as a csv file containing the latitude and longitude coordinates, in Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 19N referenced to the North American Datum of 1983, of the ground control points needed to complete any photogrammetry projects using the original photographs, and GPS transect points used to evaluate the photogrammetry products created.

Data and Regression Models for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus for the Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana, March 20, 2015 to July 19, 2018

The primary data set consists of continuous water-quality data (temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nitrate plus nitrite, and streamflow) from in-situ equipment, and discrete water-quality samples (total nitrogen, total phosphorus, suspended sediment concentration, and suspended sediment sieve diameter) collected during site visits at the USGS streamgage Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana, April 7, 2015 to July 19, 2018. These continuous and discrete measurements were used to develop regression models which may be used to compute concentrations and loads of total nitrogen and total phosphorus. The secondary data set consists of daily streamflow, daily nitrate, daily turbidity and daily specific conductance values collected continuously by in-situ monitors at Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana March 20, 2015 to July 19, 2018 which serve as input explanatory variables for the developed regression models to compute total nitrogen and total phosphorus at Iroquois River near Foresman. The tertiary data set for March 20, 2015 to July 19, 2018 is the output data set that was developed by application of the regression models and includes the computed daily mean total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations (concentration, upper 95-percent prediction interval, and lower 95-percent prediction interval) and daily mean total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads (load, upper 95-percent prediction interval, and lower 95-percent prediction interval).

Inorganic compositional data for fine-grained Puget Sound sediment along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line, September 2015

Nearshore surface sediment was collected with a petit ponar grab sampler between April 22 and September 17, 2015, at five sites in Puget Sound, Washington. Four sites were adjacent to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line in urban and non-urban areas, and one site was in an urban area that was not adjacent to the rail line. Total and near-total major, minor, trace, and rare earth element contents of the &lt;0.063 mm sediment fraction were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy. These data accompany Takesue, R.K., and Campbell, P.L., 2019, Contaminant baselines and sediment provenance along the Puget Sound Energy Transport Corridor, 2015: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018-1196, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181196.

Molecular, morphometric, and distribution information for the freshwater mussel genus Potamilus and newly described species, Potamilus streckersoni sp. nov.

Inaccurate systematics confound our ability to determine evolutionary processes that have led to the diversification of many taxa. The North American freshwater mussel tribe Lampsilini, Ihering, 1901, is one of the more well-studied groups in Unionidae; however, many supraspecific relationships between lampsiline genera remain unresolved. Two genera that have been largely overlooked are Leptodea and Potamilus, which have both been hypothesized to be non-monophyletic. We set out to resolve supraspecific relationships in Lampsilini and test the monophyly of Leptodea and Potamilus using an integrative approach. Here we present details on our molecular, morphological, and distribution data.
