Geospatial datasets for estimating depth to the top of the Dakota Sandstone, Ute Mountain Ute Reservation, Colorado, 2017

Geospatial datasets were developed to estimate the depth to the top of the Dakota Sandstone in feet below land surface datum within the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation in Colorado. This study was completed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. One dataset was created for the contours showing the altitude (in feet) of the top of the Dakota Sandstone (shapefile Kd_talt_hand), and a second dataset was created for polygons representing the outcrops of the Dakota Sandstone (shapefile Dakota_outcrop_poly). These two datasets were used in combination with USGS digital elevation models (DEM) to create a dataset for the depth of the top of the Dakota Sandstone below the land surface contoured at a 100-foot interval (shapefile kd_depth_ci100). The kd_depth_ci100 dataset was used to generate a figure showing the generalized depth to the top of the Dakota Sandstone in feet below land surface in  Bauch and Arnold (2019).

Optical signals of water for prediction of wastewater contamination, human-associated bacteria, and fecal indicator bacteria in surface water of Great Lake tributaries from 2011 to 2016

Data are from water samples collected from tributaries of the Great Lakes at three different drainage basin scales, including 1). watershed scale: 8 tributaries of the Great Lakes, 2). subwatershed scale: 5 locations from the greater Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, and 3). small scale: 213 storm sewers and open channel locations in three subwatersheds within the Great Lakes Basin including the Middle Branch of the Clinton River in Macomb County, Michigan (65 sample locations), Red Creek in Monroe County, New York (88 sample locations), and the Kinnickinnic River in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin (60 sample locations). At the watershed- and subwatershed-scale locations, water samples were collected over a 24-hour duration for low-flow periods, and throughout the duration of increased streamflow for runoff-event periods. An individual sample included multiple subsamples that were composited using automatic samplers. At the small-scale locations, discrete grab samples were collected by direct bottle submersion or by peristaltic pump. Water samples were analyzed for absorbance spectra and fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEMs), which are presented in this data release. Samples were also analyzed for human-specific viruses, at the watershed- and subwatershed-scale locations only, human- and fecal- indicator bacteria, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), which are archived in the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System (NWIS). These data were used to develop regression models for describing variability of human-associated and fecal indicator bacteria, and an archive of these models is provided. Sample collection, laboratory analyses methods, and a detailed description of the modeling process are described in the associated journal publication:

2015 Georgia water-use information by county and water-use trends by water-planning region

Water-withdrawal, water-use, and water-return information have been collected and compiled for each county in Georgia every 5 years since 1980 using data obtained from various Federal, State, private agencies, and on-line sources. For 2015, water use, water withdrawal, and water returns were estimated for each county in Georgia. Off-stream water use in 2015 is estimated for the categories of domestic use, commercial use, industrial use processing, mining use, irrigation use (subdivided into crop and golf course irrigation), livestock, aquaculture, and thermoelectric power cooling.  Water-use trends from 1985-2015 have also been compiled for each water-planning region in Georgia.

North American Breeding Bird Survey Dataset - Archival Releases of Datasets Ending With Years 2000 Through 2015

This page includes legacy releases of North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data for the periods beginning in 1966 and ending with the years 2000 through 2015.  These releases have been superseded by a more current release but are included here for archival purposes.   The North American Breeding Bird Survey dataset contains avian point count data since 1966 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 the route start points, and an indicator of run data quality.

U-Pb zircon data for: The Poncha Pass and Deadman Creek areas, northern Sangre de Cristo Mountains of south-central Colorado

Geologic mapping, characterization of geologic structures, and sampling for geochronology
was completed in two areas of the northwestern Sangre de Cristo Mountains from 2011
through 2017. This data release provides the raw analytical data, metadata and sample
information for 20 zircon U-Pb age analyses from laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS). The two areas include the Poncha Pass area where the
entire 71/2’ Poncha Pass quadrangle and parts of five other quadrangles (Mount Ouray,
Maysville, Salida West, Salida East, and Wellsville) were mapped at a scale of 1:24,000 (see
Minor and others, 2019). The Deadman thrust fault is the second area, approximately 80 km
southwest of the Poncha Pass area, and has been preliminarily mapped at a scale of 1:2,000. Ten new U-Pb
ages were determined for each area and include Proterozoic metavolcanic, metasedimentary,
and metaigneous rocks as well as non-metamorphosed felsic intrusive rocks of upper
Mesozoic-Cenozoic age in the Poncha area. Rocks dated in the Deadman area include
Proterozoic basement rocks, detrital zircons in Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, and Mesozoic-
Cenozoic felsic intrusive rocks.

Geographic Locations of Images in the USGS Collection of Photographs from the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Region (SB_PHOTOLOCS (Shapefile))

The U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Sanctuary Program, conducted seabed mapping and related research in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region from 1994 to 2004. The mapped area is approximately square 3,700 km (1,100 square nm) in size and was subdivided into 18 quadrangles. Several series of sea floor maps of the region based on multibeam sonar surveys have been published. In addition, 2,628 seabed sediment samples were collected and analyzed and approximately 10,600 still photographs of the seabed were acquired during the project. These data provide the basis for scientists, policy makers, and managers for understanding the complex ecosystem of the sanctuary region and for monitoring and managing its economic and natural resources.

Global Positioning System Survey data for 2015, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Data for 1995-2017, Coachella Valley, Riverside County, California

GPS data collection: GPS measurements were taken at 24 geodetic monuments during September 27-October 2, 2015. The GPS surveys generally followed established guidelines (Zilkoski and others, 1997), except that the data were processed with single-baseline, rather than multi-baseline, software. GPS measurements were recorded at the monuments on at least 2 different days during 1-hour observation periods. Of the 24 geodetic monuments, 7 were network control stations—DUNE, COCH, DEEP, CAHU, PAIN, C101, and G70; GPS measurements were recorded at these seven stations on 3 additional days during 6.5-hour (or longer) observation periods.
InSAR data collection: The data set consists of twenty-four individual interferograms and two stacked interferograms. Of the twenty-four individual interferograms, two interferograms were processed from synthetic aperture radar data acquired by the German Aerospace Center’s (DLR) TerraSAR-X satellite and twenty-two interferograms were processed from synthetic aperture radar data acquired by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Sentinel-1A satellite. The two stacked interferograms were created by summing multiple individual interferograms. Radar data used to produce the interferograms shown in this report were obtained from the European Space Agency through their free and open data policy and the German Aerospace Center through research proposal GEO1609 for purposes of research and development.

Unvegetated to vegetated marsh ratio in Jamaica Bay to western Great South Bay salt marsh complex, New York


    This data release contains coastal wetland synthesis products for the geographic region from Jamaica Bay to western Great South Bay, located in southeastern New York State. Metrics for resiliency, including unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), marsh elevation, and mean tidal range, are calculated for smaller units delineated from a Digital Elevation Model, providing the spatial variability of physical factors that influence wetland health.  Through scientific efforts initiated with the Hurricane Sandy Science Plan, the U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands with the intent of providing Federal, State, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services.
