Water Level Observations in the Arkansas River at Parkdale, Colorado, USA, March 2018

The U.S. Geological Survey deployed eight submersible pressure transducers In the Arkansas River at Parkdale, Colorado on March 19, 2018. An additional transducer was left out of the water to correct for barometric pressure fluctuations. At the time of deployment and recovery, the coordinates of the top of the post to which the transducer was secured was surveyed with real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System surveying equipment. Also at the time of deployment and recovery, the offset between the location on the transducer that records stage and the top of the post to which the transducer was secured was measured with an engineering ruler. The transducers collected a depth measurement every 1-min until the recovery of all eight transducers on March 22, 2018.  The water-surface elevation was determined by averaging the offset and coordinates of the post collected at the time of deployment and recovery and adding the water depth collected by the transducer. The data included as part of this release include the horizontal location of the eight transducers and the average water-surface elevation during deployment. In addition, the date, time, barometric pressure compensated depth measurement, and computed water-surface elevation are reported for all eight transducers for the entire deployment.

Whooping crane migration habitat selection data and distance to wind-energy infrastructure, 2010–2016

These data were developed to support an effort to understand how whooping cranes select stopover habitat in the presence of wind-energy infrastructure. Location and associated data came from whooping cranes from the Aransas-Wood Buffalo Population, 2010–2016. We marked a sample of 57 whooping cranes with leg-mounted transmitters that acquired locations via the global positioning system (GPS) network and transmitted those data through the Argos satellite system. Cranes were captured either at their natal areas in and adjacent to Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada or at their winter terminus along the Texas Gulf Coast. Data herein include 9,347 ground locations used by whooping cranes during migration coupled with 19 potentially available locations for each used location (see processing steps for more information). Predictor variables hypothesized to explain variation in space use were included for all locations (used and available).

Six Decades of Change at East Timbalier Island, Louisiana

Using ~ 1 m resolution imagery collected between 2000 and 2010, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Civil Applications Center (NCAC) monitored dramatic changes at East Timbalier Island, a Gulf of Mexico barrier island located on the west side of the Mississippi River Delta (Thomas et. al, 2011).  The imagery was collected by US National Imagery Systems (USNIS) and archived at the USGS Global Fiducials Library (GFL).  New research expands this study both retrospectively and prospectively using declassified imagery collected in 1962 and 1972; Landsat imagery collected since 1972; aerial photography collected since 1953; and 1991-2020 GFL imagery.

Perpendicular water velocity observation points collected using ADCP during Old Erie Canal survey

The Old Erie Canal has undergone sedimentation and aquatic growth that have restricted flow and diminished the aesthetic quality of the canal during the nearly 200 years since its construction. During 2018–2019, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Madison County Planning Department and the New York State Canal Corporation conducted a study of the Old Erie Canal between the Town of DeWitt, New York, and its junction with the current Erie Canal of the New York State Canal System near Rome, N.Y. The study comprised bathymetric, velocity, and water-quality surveys and documentation of the canal infrastructure. The USGS established benchmarks and staff gages along the 30.8 miles of the canal study area to reference the water-surface level in the canal to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Water-quality data (dissolved oxygen, water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and turbidity) were collected concurrently with the bathymetric survey (spring 2018) to characterize changes in water quality along the length of the canal. The canal infrastructure was documented to provide a baseline assessment.
This dataset contains a shapefile representing water velocity observations made by an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) during the 2018 survey, and includes measurements of water speed and direction along perpendicular transects of Old Erie Canal.

Map and model input and output data for the north Charlotte Creek Basin, Douglas County, Oregon, for analysis of debris-flow initiation resulting from the storm of November 17 - 19, 1996

Heavy rainfall during mid-November 1996 induced debris flows throughout the southern Oregon Coast Range, including more than 150 in the immediate vicinity of north Charlotte Creek (Coe and others, 2011). Data in this project pertain to a 2.4-km2 area centered at N 43.65° and W 123.94° which an area where high concentrations of debris flows occurred.  These data include a subset of a map of landslide and debris flow polygons (Coe and others, 2011) and raster grids derived from a lidar dataset acquired in 2008 – 2009 (https://gis.dogami.oregon.gov/maps/lidarviewer/).  The project area covers a tributary basin west of Charlotte Creek, southwest of the Umpqua River, and is in the southern part of the Deer Head Point 7.5-minute quadrangle. These data were used to test an implementation of the Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-Based Regional Slope-Stability Model (TRIGRS, see Baum and others, 2011) for the timing and distribution of rainfall-induced shallow landslides, a simplified three-dimensional slope stability analysis method (Baum and others, 2012), and for testing soil depth models (Baum, 2017).

Aerial Imagery of the North Carolina Coast: 2019-09-08 to 2019-09-13, Post-Hurricane Dorian

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Remote Sensing Coastal Change (RSCC) project collects aerial imagery along coastal swaths, in response to storm events, with optimized endlap/sidelap and precise position information to create high-resolution orthomosaics, three-dimensional (3D) point clouds, and digital elevation/surface models (DEMs/DSMs) using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry methods. These products are valuable for measuring topographic and landscape change, and for understanding coastal vulnerability and response to disturbance events.
A nadir (vertical) aerial imagery survey was conducted from Cape Lookout, North Carolina to the Virginia-North Carolina border between September 8th, 2019, and September 13th, 2019, to document post-storm conditions after the passage of Hurricane Dorian (U.S. landfall was on September 6). The observations along the coastline cover an approximately 275-kilometer-long by 300 to 700-meter-wide swath of coastline and encompass both highly developed towns as well as natural, undeveloped areas, including the federal lands of Cape Lookout National Seashore and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Low altitude (300 meters above ground level) digital aerial imagery were acquired from a manned, fixed-wing aircraft using a Sony A7R 36 Megapixel digital camera, along with precise aircraft navigation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data. Data were collected in shore-parallel lines, flying at approximately 50 meters per second (m/s) and capturing true color imagery at 1 Hertz (Hz), resulting in image footprints with approximately 75-80% endlap, 60-70% sidelap, and a 5.3-centimeter (cm) ground sample distance (GSD). The precise time of each image capture (flash event) was recorded, and the corresponding aircraft position was computed during post-processing of the GNSS data; precise image positions can then be determined by accounting for the lever arm offsets between the aircraft GNSS antenna and the camera lens. Position data, provided as latitude/longitude/ellipsoid height, is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83(2011)).

Results of leaching experiments on 12 energy-related shales from the United States

Inorganic compositions of flowback and co-produced waters from hydrocarbon extraction have been studied directly and through laboratory experiments that seek to replicate subsurface water-rock interaction. Here a broad analysis is made of compositions from the U.S. Geological Survey Produced Waters Database (v2.3) and leachates (water, hydrochloric acid, artificial brine) for 12 energy-resource related shales from across the United States. The database illustrates common ranges for 26 elements in 4 produced water types and enhanced solubility with increasing ionic strength is observed for Al, Ba, Fe, Li, Mn, Rb, Sr, and possibly 11 other elements. Differences are observed between laboratory leachates and produced waters. Reasons for those differences include: (1) ionic strength effects and low ionic strength of some leachates relative to subsurface brines, (2) pH-sensitivity of constituents and leachate offsets from produced water pH values, (3) oxidative conditions and enhanced pyrite oxidation in leachates compared to subsurface conditions, (4) kinetic controls on reaction rates and insufficient durations for leaching experiments, (5) leachate water-rock ratios that are commonly 3 or 4 orders of magnitude greater than in the subsurface. The findings provide important context for interpreting produced water compositions and efforts to simulate them in the laboratory.

Synoptic sampling data from upper Cement Creek near Gladstone, Colorado, October 2012, September 2019, and September 2020

Three synoptic sampling campaigns were conducted on upper Cement Creek, near Gladstone, Colorado, under low-flow conditions. The first campaign, conducted October 2012, was part of a larger campaign to characterize low-flow water quality in the entire Cement Creek watershed. The second campaign, conducted in September 2019, was designed to quantify metal loading and identify sources of contamination along a 2.5-kilometer study reach. The third campaign, conducted in September 2020, was designed to quantify loads and sources along the same 2.5-kilometer study reach during a test closure of a bulkhead on the Red and Bonita Mine, one of the primary sources of metals within the watershed. Streamflow measurements during the 2012 campaign were conducted using Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry. A continuous, instream injection of a sodium bromide tracer was initiated at the head of the study reach two days prior to the 2019 synoptic sampling campaign and maintained throughout the duration of the campaign. Bromide concentrations were subsequently used to determine streamflow using the tracer-dilution method. Streamflow estimates for the 2020 campaign were developed using a series of sodium chloride slug additions, wherein specific conductivity readings were used as a surrogate for chloride concentration. This data release includes concentration data (inorganic cations and anions), estimated streamflow, and calculated loads for the three sampling campaigns. Tracer data for the continuous tracer injection (2019) and slug additions (2020) are also included. Calculated loads may be used to compare low flow conditions with and without contributions from the Gold King Mine (2012 versus 2019) as well as before and after closure of the Red and Bonita bulkhead (2019 versus 2020).
The data release consists of a kmz file showing site locations and the following 9 tables:

Crustal architecture of the transtensional Warm Springs Valley fault zone, northern Walker Lane

This data release contains field data for two P-wave seismic reflection profiles acquired across the Warm Springs Valley fault zone, part of the Northern Walker Lane, NV. The dataset consists of  high-resolution seismic reflection field records in .segy format, shot coordinates in .csv format, and observers’ logs in .pdf format. The high-resolution seismic profiles are approximately 4 km long. The northern profile (Warm Springs Line 1) is oblique to a prominent fault bounded ridge. The southern profile (Warm Springs Line 2) crosses the northern end of Warm Springs Valley and is nearly co-located with COCORP profile NV-08. To obtain the seismic profiles, we used a 230-kg accelerated weight drop source and a nominal geophone spacing of 5 m. We deployed single 8 Hz vertical‐component geophones and recorded data on 168 of these sensors per field record. Source stations were co-located with the geophone stations.
