Oregon Mule Deer Beulah-Malheur Winter Ranges

With 204 GPS-collared mule deer, the Beulah-Malheur herd is one of the most extensively recorded mule deer herds in Oregon. Mule deer primarily winter along the Malheur River and the Stinkingwater Mountains, with some as far south as the Owyhee River. Winter ranges are covered by Artemisia tridentata (big sagebrush), grassland, and encroaching Juniperus occidentalis (western juniper). Although spatially dispersed, much of the Beulah-Malheur herd collectively migrates northwest to reach summer ranges across the upper elevations of the Malheur National Forest, Pedro Mountain, and Cottonwood Mountain. Primary summer range vegetation includes A. t. vaseyana (mountain big sagebrush), Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine), and western juniper with mixed-conifer forests and mountain shrub communities at higher elevations. In 2014, the Buzzard Complex fire burned approximately 398,596 acres (161,306 ha) between Riverside, Oregon and State Route 78, allowing Taeniatherum caput-medusae (medusahead) and other invasive annual grasses to proliferate in areas originally lacking perennial plant cover. Mule deer cross several major roadways during migration, including U.S. Highway 20, U.S. Route 26, and U.S. Route 395, while Interstate 84 is a complete barrier on the east. U.S. Highway 20 transects winter ranges for both migratory and resident mule deer and the section between mileposts 135 and 258 along the Malheur River accounted for an average of 179 mule deer-vehicle collisions each year from 2010 to 2022. The Burns-Paiute Tribe is working with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to identify wildlife passage solutions on U.S. Highway 20.
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Beulah-Malheur population in Oregon. They were developed from 303 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 179 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 5-13 hours.

High-Resolution Aeromagnetic Survey of the Pasco Area, Washington and Oregon

This data release provides access to a low-altitude, aeromagnetic survey of a part of south-central Washington and north-central Oregon.  The survey extends from the Blue Mountains westward to the Cascade Range and covers the Oregon cities of The Dalles, Hermiston, and Milton Freewater and the Washington cities of Richland, Pasco, Kennewick, and Walla Walla.  Data were acquired during the summer of 2010 by Goldak Airborne Surveys working under contract to the U.S. Geological Survey.  Total magnetic field values were acquired using a fixed-wing aircraft flown at a target elevation of 150 m above terrain (305 m over urban areas) and along flight lines and tie lines spaced 400 m and 4000 m apart, respectively.  Flight lines were directed north-south; tie lines were directed east-west.  A total of 51,790 line-kilometers were acquired.

Ecological Marine Units (EMUs)

The existence, sources, distribution, circulation, and physicochemical nature of macro-scale oceanic water bodies have long been a focus of oceanographic inquiry. Building on that work, this paper describes an objectively derived and globally comprehensive set of 37 distinct volumetric region units, called ecological marine units (EMUs). They are constructed on a regularly spaced ocean point-mesh grid, from sea surface to seafloor, and attributed with data from the 2013 World Ocean Atlas version 2. The point attribute data are the means of the decadal averages from a 57-year climatology of six physical and chemical environment parameters (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate). The database includes over 52 million points that depict the global ocean in x, y, and z dimensions. The point data were statistically clustered to define the 37 EMUs, which represent physically and chemically distinct water volumes based on spatial variation in the six marine environmental characteristics used. The aspatial clustering to produce the 37 EMUs did not include point location or depth as a determinant, yet strong geographic and vertical separation was observed. Twenty-two of the 37 EMUs are globally or regionally extensive, and account for 99% of the ocean volume, while the remaining 15 are smaller and shallower, and occur around coastal features. We assessed the vertical distribution of EMUs in the water column and placed them into classical depth zones representing epipelagic (0 m to 200 m), mesopelagic (200 m to 1,000  m), bathypelagic (1,000 m to 4,000 m) and abyssopelagic (&gt;4,000 m) layers. The mapping and characterization of the EMUs represent a new spatial framework for organizing and understanding the physical, chemical, and ultimately biological properties and processes of oceanic water bodies. The EMUs are an initial objective partitioning of the ocean using long-term historical average data, and could be extended in the future by adding new classification variables and by introducing functionality to develop time-specific EMU distribution maps. The EMUs are an open-access resource, and as both a standardized geographic framework and a baseline physicochemical characterization of the oceanic environment, they are intended to be useful for disturbance assessments, ecosystem accounting exercises, conservation priority setting, and marine protected area network design, along with other research and management applications.

Magnetotelluric data from Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, and Kentucky, 2016-2019, station mrv016

This dataset consists of 127 wideband and 21 long-period magnetotelluric (MT) stations collected from 2016-2019 across parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, and Kentucky. The U.S. Geological Survey acquired these data as part of regional investigations into the geologic and tectonic framework of the area and to support mineral resource and geologic hazard investigations. These data have been used to generate a 3D regional conductivity model of the area. Files included in this publication include measured electric- and magnetic-field time series as well as estimated impedance and vertical-magnetic field transfer functions. The data included here are for MT station mrv016 in the Mississippi River Valley survey region. A shapefile with station information for all stations in this dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9F7HFH7.

Location of General Head Boundaries (GHB) in the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM)

This digital dataset represents the area where lateral flow into and out of the Central Valley groundwater-flow system occurs. 
The General Head Boundary (GHB) is set to 0 and is only in the Delta and is specified in layer 1 where the groundwater 
system intersects the surface water system. The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer 
region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS numerical modeling 
code, MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006).  This application is referred to here as the Central Valley Hydrologic 
Model (CVHM) (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated 
agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003.  The total 
active modeled area is 20,334 square-miles on a finite-difference grid comprising 441 rows and 98 columns. Slightly less 
that 50 percent of the cells are active. The CVHM grid has a uniform horizontal discretization of 1x1 square mile and is 
oriented parallel to the valley axis, 34 degrees west of north (Faunt, 2009). The CVHM is the most recent regional-scale 
model of the Central Valley developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  The CVHM was developed as part of the 
USGS Groundwater Resources Program (see "Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, for details).

Data release for Climatically driven displacement on the Eglington fault, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

The Eglington fault is one of several intrabasinal faults in the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, USA, and is the only one recognized as a source for significant earthquakes. Its broad warp displaces Late Pleistocene spring deposits of the Las Vegas Formation, which record hydrologic fluctuations that occurred in response to millennial- and submillennial-scale climate oscillations throughout the late Quaternary. The sediments allow us to constrain the timing of displacement on the Eglington fault and identify hydrologic changes that are temporally coincident with that event. The fault deforms deposits that represent widespread marshes that filled the valley between ca. 31.7 and 27.6 ka. These marshes desiccated abruptly in response to warming and groundwater lowering during Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) events 4 and 3, resulting in the formation of a pervasive, hard carbonate cap by 27.0 ka. Vertical offset by as much as 4.2 m occurred after the cap hardened, and most likely after younger marshes desiccated irreversibly due to a sudden depression of the water table during D-O event 2, beginning at 23.3 ka. The timing of displacement is further constrained to before 19.5 ka as evidenced by undeformed spring deposits that are inset into the incised topography of the warp. Coulomb stress calculations validate the hypothesis that the substantial groundwater decline during D-O event 2 unclamped the fault through unloading of vertical stress of the water column. The synchroneity of this abrupt hydrologic change and displacement of the Eglington fault suggests that climatically modulated tectonics operated in the Las Vegas Valley during the late Quaternary.

Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of seed-treatment pesticides following the dosing of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) were orally dosed with pesticide-treated or control-untreated wheat seeds. Pesticide treated wheat seeds were analytically verified for active ingredients of imidacloprid, metalaxyl, tebuconazole, and fludioxonil. Pesticide and metabolite residues were measured in plasma, liver, brain, kidney, muscle, and excreta of exposed and control birds. Samples were extracted via solid phase extraction, pressurized liquid extraction, or sonication. Clean-up steps included protein precipitation followed by solid phase extraction. All samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.

MIROC Monthly Future Prescribed Burn Windows for the Southeast United States 2010-2099 RCP 4.5

Prescribed burning is a critical tool for managing wildfire risks and meeting ecological objectives, but its safe and effective application requires that specific meteorological criteria are met. This dataset contains results from a study examining the potential impacts of projected climatic change on prescribed burning in the southeastern United States. A set of burn window criteria (suitable weather conditions within which burning may occur based on maximum daily temperature, daily average relative humidity, and daily average wind speed), were applied to projections from an ensemble of Global Climate Models (GCM) under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios, as well as past observations for comparison. Data are provided as decadal output for observed conditions, and for individual GCM results for the historical climate scenario and the two future climate scenarios are provided. In addition, summary statistics (e.g., multi-model mean, and for selected quantiles) are provided for the GCM ensemble as a whole by decade.
