Winter Ranges of Mule Deer in the San Francisco Peaks Herd in Arizona

The San Francisco Peaks mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) herd makes one of Arizona’s most extraordinary annual migrations between Flagstaff, AZ and the Grand Canyon. The migration begins on summer range in GMU 7, where an estimated 5,300 mule deer reside. Their summer habitat contains alpine, subalpine, and ponderosa pine forests mixed with open grasslands and meadows. Beginning in October, a portion of the herd migrates north to GMU 9 to winter range along the South Rim containing pinyon-juniper, ponderosa pines, sagebrush, and cliffrose habitat. Through funding from Secretarial Order 3362, the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) began a GPS collar study beginning in June of 2019. A total of 46 mule deer have been tracked through those efforts, greatly increasing our understanding of deer movements among this herd. The research study will be completed in 2023. In contrast to the Volume I report (Kauffman et al. 2020), the San Francisco Peaks mule deer herd in this Volume contains an additional 20 mule deer, 52 migrations, and 12 winter sequences. The primary challenges to mule deer in this migration corridor are related to navigating highways. These deer must traverse two major roads, U.S. Highway 180 and State Route 64, which experience high traffic volumes and are a source of mortality for this migrating mule deer herd.
These data provide the location of winter ranges for Mule Deer from the San Francisco Peaks Herd in Arizona. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models using 21 winter sequences collected from a sample size of 20 adult mule deer comprising GPS locations collected every 2-3 hours.

Fish Community and habitat assessment in the Sandusky River, OH, April 2021 through October 2021

Data includes fish abundance and habitat data collected at ten sites in the Sandusky River, OH. Fish were collected using two 3.67 m long hoop nets with an initial hoop diameter of 0.91 m. Nets were set perpendicular to the current, opening toward the shoreline. Nets were set for approximately 24 hours and catch rates for each set were defined as the number of fish caught in the two hoop nets per 24-hour sampling period. Fish were identified to species, measured for total length (mm), and released. Water quality was taken daily at each site at approximately the same time of day with a YSI Exo2 multiparameter sonde. Physical habitat data was recorded at the start of each trial. Vegetation coverage was characterized by type of vegetation and genus (submerged, emerged, or floating) and substrate was also categorized (silt, sand, clay, rock). Physical habitat was recorded as percent and defined as the percentage of the sampling area (e.g. within 50-m of each platform) covered by a feature at the time of data collection. Daily minimum and maximum depths (m) were calculated from data recorded Onset HOBO water level data loggers, which were attached to two of the floating platforms approximately 0.5-m above the substrate. The distance of each site from the confluence of Muddy Creek Bay (m) was estimated from the mid-point of a site using ArcGIS Pro v. 2.7.1. This data was used to assess the fish assemblage in the Sandusky River, focusing on changes in assemblage following the removal of the Ballville Dam in 2018.

Laboratory Incubation results  from 2015 for bacterial cell counts, carbon use efficiency, growth efficiency, and dissolved organic matter chemistry from four glacier outflows and four rock glacier outflows in Colorado

Bacterial Data include results of incubations of lakewater bacteria with dissolved organic matter extracted from Colorado glacier or rock glacier outflows in 2015. Cells were counted pre- and post- incubations. The “Counts” tab is the number of cells counted in each view of the microscope using the acridine orange method. “C Calculations” tab is the calculation of carbon as bacterial biomass from cell counts. ”Change in cell counts” is the difference in the number of bacterial cells from the pre-incubation microbial culture and in each assay bottle after the biological oxygen demand incubation. The third tab, “Carbon use efficiency” is calculated as the amount of DOM from oxygen demand assays converted to microbial biomass as carbon. The final two tabs “BGE with calculated RQ” and “BGE with RQ1” are the calculations of bacterial growth efficiency. The first uses a respiratory quotient calculated by using the change in CO2/the change in O2 from the biological oxygen demand assay measurements, and the second is calculated assuming a respiratory quotient of 1, a common practice in freshwater metabolism studies.
Dissolved organic matter date is Metabolite Compounds as Identified through Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses. The “GC-MS Data” tab is the intensities of each compound separated out by individual glacier and rock glacier. The second tab is a table of the top 25 compounds in each glacier and rock glacier, as identified through GC-MS, before and after the biological oxygen demand assays. Included in this table is the fold changes in the mass spectrometry intensities of individual compounds. The third tab is the statistical comparison of each glacier type before and after incubation. “Retention times”, the fourth tab, is the time of detection of each individual compound on the mass spectrometer. Finally, the last tab is a raw data file of all spectra generated through GC-MS including mass spec contaminates, which were removed prior to the metabolite analysis.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021 Site 4406 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. 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. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

National Geologic Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sequestration Assessment Project: Bighorn Basin (C5034) Well Density

Drilling-density cell maps show the number of wells that have been drilled into the storage assessment unit (SAU). Each 1-square-mile cell has a count for the number of unique well boreholes drilled into the SAU. For a given sedimentary basin, the USGS National Geologic CO2 Sequestration Assessment Project identifies SAUs containing the potential for storage and sequestration of carbon dioxide. Proprietary well header data from IHS ENERDEQ through 2010 were queried to determine which wells were drilled into specific SAUs. The coordinates of wells are proprietary and cannot be released; however, counts of the number of wells per square mile are presented in the well drilling density data layer.

1 meter Digital Elevation Model of Kalamazoo River Reference Reach upstream of Plainwell, Michigan, 2021

This dataset is a digital elevation model (DEM) comprising topographic and bathymetric data for an approximately 500 meter (m) reach of the Kalamazoo River upstream of Plainwell, Michigan (MI). The DEM was developed from elevation data collected by several different methods. Bathymetric data in the river channel were collected in October 2021 with a single beam sonar and Acoustic Current Doppler Profiler operated along 2 longitudinal transects and 48 cross-sectional transects, respectively. River bank topographic data were collected with a backpack-mounted terrestrial lidar unit concurrently with the bathymetric data. Lidar points were classified by a combination of automated and manual methods. Floodplain elevations were obtained from aerial lidar data collected in 2015. All ground points from the respective datasets were projected to the same coordinate system and used to generate a DEM with 1m resolution covering the channel bed, banks, and floodplain, and valley walls through the reference reach.

Chemical Composition of Bed Sediment and Water Samples Collected in the Houston Ship Channel or Patrick Bayou outlet near the Patrick Bayou Superfund Site, Deer Park, Texas, 2021

Patrick Bayou, a section of the Houston Ship Channel near Deer Park, Texas, has accumulated permitted industrial wastewater discharges, municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent, and stormwater runoff from adjacent industrial facilities and nearby urban and residential areas. These discharges are suspected to be the primary sources of the sediment contamination in the Patrick Bayou section of the Houston Ship Channel near Deer Park, Texas. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed Patrick Bayou on the Superfund program’s National Priorities List because of sediment contamination detected in the wetlands bordering Patrick Bayou, posing a threat to downstream fisheries. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with EPA, collected sediment cores and surface water samples from pre-selected locations at the Patrick Bayou outlet and along the Houston Ship Channel to gain a better understanding of the nature and extent of sediment and surface water contaminants. The USGS collected sediment samples from five locations in the study area in January 2021. The USGS revisited the study area in October 2021 and collected sediment samples from 14 locations and water samples from five locations. An EPA-designated laboratory analyzed the sediment and surface water samples for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs, including congeners and aroclors), dioxin and furan compounds, trace elements (including mercury and lead), and total organic carbon (TOC). VOCs, SVOCs, and aroclors were analyzed by Pace Analytical Services in West Columbia, South Carolina. PCB congeners as well as dioxin and furan compounds were analyzed by Cape Fear Analytical in Wilmington, North Carolina. Trace elements were analyzed by Bonner Analytical Testing in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and TOC were analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory in Denver, Colorado. Sediment samples were also analyzed for cesium-137 by ALS Environmental in Ft. Collins, Colo. The dataset includes the results from these analyses of the sediment and water samples.
