Thin section images of AMAX drill core from the Stillwater Complex, Montana

This dataset includes photographic and micrographic images of thin sections of drill core from the Stillwater Complex, Montana, along with a shapefile representing the locations of the drill holes. The core was drilled in order to study contact-type copper and nickel sulfide mineralization in the Stillwater Complex. See data release https://doi.org/10.5066/p9w5kp8u for accompanying drill log data. The images of the entire thin section, both in plane- and cross-polarized light, were taken using a high-resolution digital camera on a macro stand. The 4x and 10x resolution images were taken on an Olympus petrographic microscope using Stream Image Analysis Software. Each zip file, named with the drill hole identification number, contains the images for a single drill hole. The data in each zip file is organized into a folder containing the 'RAW' unprocessed CR2 images (or unprocessed TIF) and a folder containing processed jpg images. Folders with a "p1" or "p2" designation (representing parts 1 and 2) were organized into two parts in response to file size restrictions. The file name of each photograph correlates to the name and depth of the drill hole from which the thin section was sourced, and whether the photograph represents a plane-polarized (ppl) or cross-polarized (xpl) light image. For example, the "355-1-76_ppl.JPG" file is a plane-polarized image of the thin section sourced from drill hole 355-1 at a depth of 76 feet. Multiple images from the same drill hole and depth are identified with "(2)", "(2.2)", "(3)", etc. in the file name.

Basin Characteristics Rasters for West Virginia StreamStats 2021

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has calculated over 25 different basin characteristics as part of preparing the West Virginia StreamStats 2021 application. These datasets are raster representations of various environmental, geological, and land use attributes within the West Virginia StreamStats 2021 study area. This study area was defined by Watershed Boundary HUC 8 digital data, and as such there is an area of about 70 square miles in the SE corner of WV is not included in these raster datasets as it drains towards Virginia. The basin characteristics data will be served in the West Virginia StreamStats 2021 application used to describe delineated watersheds. The StreamStats application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas, get basin characteristics, and estimates of flow statistics for data-collection stations and user-selected ungaged sites.

Synthetic streamflow regressions and daily mean streamflow estimates at three sites on the Yankee Fork Salmon River near Clayton, ID, Water Years 2012-2019

To provide daily mean streamflow values at ungaged (partial-record) sites within the Yankee Fork Salmon River watershed, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, used discharge measurements at three partial-record sites and related those measurements to a nearby USGS real-time streamgage (index site). Daily mean streamflow was estimated by developing a regression relationship between each partial-record site and the index site for water years 2012-2019. These data are intended to provide daily mean streamflow estimates at partial-record sites as part of a larger study (Clark and others, 2021) to estimate sediment loading for each site.

Composite sidescan-sonar mosaic collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, LA, 2007 (MOSAIC_07007, UTM Zone 16N GeoTIFF)

In 2006 and 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey, in partnership with Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and the University of New Orleans, conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor and shallow subsurface stratigraphy offshore of the Chandeleur Islands in Eastern Louisiana. The mapping was carried out during two cruises on the R/V Acadiana. Data were acquired with the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kHz), Klein 3000 dual frequency sidescan sonar, and an Edgetech 512i chirp subbottom profiling system. The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-quality geologic maps and geophysical interpretations that can be utilized to investigate the impact of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and to identify sand resources within the region.

Interannual Overlap of Duck Telemetry Locations in California during the fall-winter (October-March) of 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18.

In this data set, records (rows) represent GPS locations of ducks marked with telemetry in California and whether locations were overlapping (within 300 m of) locations of marked ducks in other consecutive years (2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18) during October - March. Years 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18 represented drought, non-drought, and non-drought, respectively. Matchett and company (2020; see Larger Work section for citation) summarized this data set in tables E3 and E4 to compare overlap of duck locations between consecutive years to investigate interannual habitat stability in relationship with drought, habitat management (daytime roosts and night feeding sites), and in two regions (Suisun Marsh and California except Suisun Marsh). Coincident use of space by ducks across years suggests that the landscape is relatively stable, in terms of where and when flooding occurs, or that birds are actively selecting those portions of the landscape that are consistently flooded even in drought years. We additionally thought that areas used in daytime relative to night would be more consistent across years because of reliable water management for sanctuaries on wildlife areas and national refuges used as daytime roosts. We also hypothesized that areas used in Suisun Marsh would be more consistent across years because water availability is less limited by drought in Suisun and most habitats are flooded each year.
Data set columns refer to temporal and spatial attributes of locations in relationship with overlapping duck locations. Column 1 is Region (Suisun Marsh or California excluding Suisun Marsh) where locations were recorded, column 2 is Time of day (day or night) that locations were recorded, and column 3 is Year of use (2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18) referencing a year's locations being compared with all locations recorded in the other two years. Columns 4-6 (Year 2015-16, Year 2016-17, Year 2017-18) reference the years being compared with Year of use to determine interannual overlap in space use.

Classification of individual duck telemetry locations as wet habitat or dry non-habitat in the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh in California during October-March of 2014-15 through 2017-18 using three maps derived from open-water data from Point Blue Conservation Science

We used Point Blue Conservation Science's dynamic open-water dataset of water distribution and our telemetry data for duck locations to develop frequently updated habitat maps for the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh in California during October-March of 2014-15 through 2017-18. Telemetry data additionally was used to compare performance of each of three series of habitat maps produced. To create this tabular dataset, we intersected telemetry locations for ducks (vector point data) with habitat maps (raster mosaics) in a Geographic Information System (GIS) and attributed duck locations with map pixel values representing habitat, non-habitat, or unclassified (if data were missing). To develop maps of waterfowl habitat, we used open water data (version without cloud-filling) publicly available on Point Blue Conservation's California Water Tracker web site and which Point Blue Conservation Science derived at 16-18 day intervals from mosaics of Landsat 8 imagery for the region including the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh. Each record in the data set represents a duck location by species (column 1) bound to the spatial extent of the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh for October-March of 2014-15 through 2017-18. Columns 2 - 4 represent attributes assigned to duck locations by each of the three maps that were developed and assessed for accuracy. We used the data set to summarize and compare the proportion of duck locations in habitat for the three maps. We further summarized proportions in habitat by duck species (Mallard versus Northern Pintail) and biological activity (for example, feeding and roosting versus molting).

Distances (km) between primary sanctuaries and night (feeding) locations of ducks in California during fall-winter (October-March) of 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18.

In this data set, records (rows) represent the distance between primary daytime roosts and night (feeding) locations of ducks marked with telemetry in California in years 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18, during October - March. Years 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18 represented drought, non-drought, and non-drought, respectively. Matchett and company (2020; see Larger Work section for citation) summarized this data set in figures E3 and E4 to compare distances moved among months, years, and for two regions (Suisun Marsh and California except Suisun Marsh). Matchett and company examined the effect of drought on distributions of ducks by evaluating differences in spatial distributions of duck locations within and among years and between the two regions. Matchett and company used this data set to summarize distances between duck nighttime (feeding) locations and primary sanctuaries used for daytime roosting. 
Data set columns refer to temporal and spatial attributes of locations in relationship with distance between primary roost sites and nighttime duck locations. Column 1 is Region (Suisun Marsh or California excluding Suisun Marsh) where locations were recorded, column 2 is Year class (2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18), column 3 is Month class (October-November, December-January, February-March), column 4 is Distance to primary sanctuaries (km) referencing the distance from nighttime locations.

Proportion of the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh in California classified by date for October-March of 2014-15 through 2017-18 as wet waterfowl habitat in three maps derived using open-water data from Point Blue Conservation Science

Tabular data that represent the proportion of area classified as waterfowl habitat for each of three series of habitat maps were developed based on water distributed across the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh in California during October-March of 2014-15 through 2017-18. We used open water data (version without cloud-filling) publicly available on Point Blue Conservation's California Water Tracker web site and which Point Blue derived at 16-18 day intervals from mosaics of Landsat 8 imagery for the region including the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh. Each record in the data set represents a mosaic within a specific range of dates of imagery that together bound the Central Valley and Suisun Marsh spatial extent. In a geographic information system (GIS), we used each mosaic to calculate the proportion of potential waterfowl habitat for each range of dates (yyyymmdd to yyyymmdd format) indicated in column one. The proportion was calculated for each of three maps, indicated in column 2-4 headings, that we developed using the open water data. As one measure to compare performance of the three maps, we summarized the mean and range of the proportion of area that was classified as habitat across all mosaics used; generally, the less area classified as habitat, while also accounting for actual locations of waterfowl (for example with telemetry data) the better.

National Park Service St. Croix National Scenic Riverway- Osceola Topobathy Hillshade, elevation in feet, 20191016

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected hydroacoustic data of the St. Croix River adjacent to the Osceola (WI) boat ramp for hydrographic and benthic mapping prior to the reconstruction project implemented by the National Park Service (NPS). High-resolution bathymetry data was surveyed using a multibeam sonar. The depth and characteristics of the riverbed are important parameters of habitat for benthic (bottom-dwelling) organisms, and are a fundamental parameter for riverine ecosystems. A terrestrial lidar unit was used to collect shoreline elevation points. These datasets were highly desired by the NPS to help inform and mitigate potential impacts to mussels or benthic habitat.
