Global rare earth element occurrence database

This spatial database "usgs_Global_REE.gdb" was created for use in a geographic information system (GIS) to support research on global rare earth deposits and occurrences by the U.S. Geological Survey. This inventory documents the geologic occurrence of rare earths, including mineralogy, type of deposit or occurrence, host rocks and alteration, and any quantitative data related to size and grade from publicly available data. Rare earths, as used in this report, includes the chemically similar lanthanide group of elements, as well as yttrium. Databases that summarize the distribution of known occurrences and their geologic setting are an integral part of a geologically-based evaluation of undiscovered mineral resources. The distribution of known occurrences allows us to understand the factors that control their distributions, the degree of variation within deposit types, and, through the use of analogy, to forecast areas where similar deposits and occurrences may occur. The geodatabase contains more than 3100 records with latitudes and longitudes and more than 800 records without plottable locations.  Spatial and descriptive data for 3100 rare earth deposits and occurrences around the world are stored in the rare earth geodatabase feature class "Global_REE" for use in a geographic information system (GIS). In addition, 820 deposits and occurrences for which no location was found or determined are stored in a geodatabase table "Global_REE_nonspatial_table" and the over 1590 references are stored in a geodatabase table "All_Global_REE_references" which were used to compile these data. The databases of rare earth deposits and occurrences provides descriptive information where available on mineralogy, host and associated rocks and ages, alteration, sizes and grades of resources and production, and references; the data in the spatial database include location.

Landslide Headscarps in Marine Terraces along the Pacific Coast of Washington and Oregon

We present a set of 617 landslide headscarps along marine terraces in Oregon and Washington State. Headscarps (as polyline features) were mapped from &lt;1 m resolution lidar in the first major terrace along the Pacific coastline of Washington and Oregon states. Only slides originating in mapped sedimentary rock units, or sedimentary rock capped by a veneer of glacial till, were included. Mapping was also limited to only include landslides that could be categorized as rotational (that is, movement of the landslide shows evidence for sliding along a circular or curved path. Other landslide failure styles present along the study region, like translational slides, ravels, and rockfall, are omitted from this dataset. Data are provided in shapefile (.shp) and .csv.

Declustered catalog of induced earthquakes without duplicates for the central and eastern U.S.

A methodology has been developed at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for making earthquake catalogs for seismic hazard analysis.  A new catalog is assembled from several preexisting catalogs.  Uniform moment magnitudes and related parameters for estimating unbiased seismicity rates are calculated.  Duplicates, explosions, mining-related earthquakes, and induced earthquakes are flagged, and the catalog is declustered.  Distinct catalogs are made for the central and eastern U.S. and the western U.S.  This data set is the declustered catalog of induced earthquakes without duplicates for the central and eastern U.S.

Seepage-run discharge measurements, December 28, 2021, South Halawa Stream, North Halawa Stream, and Halawa Stream, Oahu, Hawaii

This data release contains a comma-delimited ascii file of five same-day, discrete discharge measurements made at sites along selected reaches of South Halawa Stream, North Halawa Stream, and Halawa Stream, Oahu, Hawaii on December 28, 2021. These discrete discharge measurements form what is commonly referred to as a “seepage run.” The intent of the seepage run is to quantify the spatial distribution of streamflow along the reach during fair-weather, low-flow conditions, generally characterized by negligible direct runoff within the reach. The measurements can be used to characterize the net seepage of water into (water gain) or out of (water loss) the stream channel between measurement sites provided that the measurements were made during stable, nonchanging flow conditions (or, in some cases, were made simultaneously during transient flow conditions) and external surface inflows (for example, a tributary) or outflows (for example, a diversion) of water to the reach are quantified and accounted for in the computation of net seepage.

Projections of coastal water elevations for North Carolina and South Carolina

Projected water elevations from compound coastal flood hazards for future sea-level rise (SLR) and storm scenarios are shown for North Carolina and South Carolina. As described by Nederhoff and others (2024), projections were made using a system of numerical models driven by output from Global Climate Models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and a tropical cyclone database from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The resulting data are elevations of projected flood hazards along the North Carolina and South Carolina coast due to sea level rise and plausible future storm conditions that consider the changing climate, hurricanes, and natural variability. The resulting data products include water elevations that are consistent with coastal flood projections, also available in this dataset (Barnard, and others, 2023). In addition to sea-level rise, flood simulations run by these numerical models included dynamic contributions from tide, storm surge, wind, waves, river discharge, precipitation, and seasonal sea-level fluctuations. Outputs include impacts from combinations of SLR scenarios (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 m), storm conditions including 1-year, 20-year, and 100-year return interval storms, and a background condition (no storm - astronomic tide and average atmospheric conditions).

Ground control point locations for UAS surveys of the beaches at Fort Stevens State Park, OR, and Cape Disappointment State Park, WA, August 2017

This portion of the data release presents the locations of the temporary ground control points (GCPs) used for the structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of the imagery collected during the August 2017 unoccupied aerial system (UAS) surveys of the ocean beach at Fort Stevens State Park, OR, and Benson Beach at Cape Disappointment State Park, WA. Eighteen temporary ground control points (GCPs) were distributed throughout the survey area to establish survey control. The GCPs consisted of a combination of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and "X" marks placed on the ground using temporary chalk. The GCP positions were measured using dual-frequency real-time kinematic (RTK) or post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS with corrections referenced to a static base station operating nearby. The GCP positions are presented in a comma-delimited text file.

Fledermaus Scene combining three 150-meter bathymetry grids from U.S. Geological Survey cruises 02051, 03008 and 03032 surveyed in 2002 and 2003 in the region of the Puerto Rico Trench

In 2002 and 2003, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conducted three exploration cruises (USGS Cruise 02051, NOAA RB0208, September 24 to 30, 2002; USGS Cruise 03008, NOAA RB0303, February 18 to March 7, 2003 and USGS Cruise 03032, NOAA RB0305, August 28 to September 4, 2003). These cruises mapped for the first time the morphology of this entire tectonic plate boundary stretching from the Dominican Republic in the west to the Lesser Antilles in the east, a distance of approximately 700 kilometers (430 miles). Observations from these three exploration cruises, coupled with computer modeling and published Global Positioning System (GPS) results and earthquake focal mechanisms have provided new information that is changing the evaluation of the seismic and tsunami hazard from this plate boundary. The observations collected during these cruises also contributed to the basic understanding of the mechanisms that govern plate tectonics, in this case, the creation of the island of Puerto Rico and the deep trench north of it. Results of the sea floor mapping have been an important component of the study of tsunami and earthquake hazards to the northeastern Caribbean and the U.S. Atlantic coast off the United States.

Cave and Karst Biota Modeling in the Appalachian LCC - Observed Amphipods in 20km grid cells

We developed spatial summary (GIS) layers for a study of factors influencing the distribution of cave and karst associated fauna within the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative region, one of 22 public-private partnerships established by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to aid in developing landscape scale solutions to conservation problems (https://lccnetwork.org/lcc/appalachian).  We gathered occurrence data on cave-limited terrestrial and aquatic troglobiotic species from a variety of sources within the Appalachian LCC region covering portions of 15 states.  Occurrence records were developed from the scientific literature, existing biodiversity databases, personal records of the authors, museum accessions, state Natural Heritage programs, and The Nature Conservancy (for Tennessee).  Occurrence records were identified by location and translated into a GIS database.  Although the precise locations cannot be made public due the sensitivity of the information, data sharing agreements, and restrictions under the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988, we summarized the data spatially using a coarse 20x20km vector grid. We used these occurence records, summarized at the 20x20km grid resolution in statistical modeling to examine physical factors predictive of cave dwelling fauna. Spatial summaries were developed for all cave dwelling species in our database where we had location coordinates for nine faunal groups (five terrestrial and four aquatic) that are common components of terrestrial and aquatic cave communities: ground beetles (Carabidae), millipedes, pseudoscorpions, spiders, and springtails for terrestrial species groups, and amphipods (Crangonyctidae and Gammaridae), isopods (Asellidae), crayfishes (Cambaridae), and fishes (Amblyopsidae) for aquatic species groups.

LANDFIRE 2016 Remap National Vegetation Classification (NVC) Micronesia

LANDFIRE's (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) National Vegetation Classification (NVC) represents the current distribution of vegetation groups within the U.S. National Vegetation Classification System ([version 2.0] http://usnvc.org/). Groups within the NVC IAerarchy are defined as combinations of relatively narrow sets of diagnostic plant species, including dominants and co-dominants, broadly similar composition, and diagnostic growth forms. NVC groups are mapped using decision tree models informed by field reference data, Landsat imagery, elevation data, and biophysical gradient inputs. NVC models are developed separately for each lifeform, including sparse vegetation,  and for each Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Level III Ecoregion (https://www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecoregions). Riparian, alpine, sparse and other site-specific EVTs are constrained by predetermined masks. Urban and developed areas are derived from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), whereas agricultural lands originate from the Cropland Data Layer (CDL) and Common Land Unit (CLU) database. Developed ruderal classes are identified by combining wildland-urban-interface (WUI) data with population density information from the US Census Bureau. Annual Disturbance products are included to describe areas that have experienced landscape change within the previous 10-year period. NVC is reconciled through QA/QC measures to ensure lifeform is synchronized with both Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) and Height (EVH) products.

Spatial distribution of layer-averaged velocity measured along two prescribed lines in the Calumet Harbor, Illinois (May 12, 2015)

Acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data were collected at multiple transects spaced in a regular grid throughout Calumet Harbor on May 12, 2015 to determine the spatial distribution of layer-averaged velocities. The data were layer-averaged in 2-foot increments of depth from the bed to the water surface, and spatially averaged over 269-foot intervals to reduce noise and correspond to nodes of an US Army Corps of Engineers existing hydraulic model. Data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and other, 2013). Any data assigned a value of "­9999" are invalid or missing and should not be used for analysis.
