Unique shot point navigation for chirp seismic data collected in Indian River Bay, Delaware, April 13, 2010, on U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity 2010-006-FA (IR_SEISNAV.SHP, Geographic, WGS 84)

A geophysical survey to delineate the fresh-saline groundwater interface and associated sub-bottom sedimentary structures beneath Indian River Bay, Delaware, was carried out in April 2010. This included surveying at higher spatial resolution in the vicinity of a study site at Holts Landing, where intensive onshore and offshore studies were subsequently completed. The total length of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) survey lines was 145 kilometers (km), with 36 km of chirp seismic lines surveyed around the perimeter of the bay. Medium-resolution CRP surveying was performed using a 50-meter streamer in a bay-wide grid. Results of the surveying and data inversion showed the presence of many buried paleochannels beneath Indian River Bay that generally extended perpendicular from the shoreline in areas of modern tributaries, tidal creeks, and marshes. An especially wide and deep paleochannel system was imaged in the southeastern part of the bay near White Creek. Many paleochannels also had high-resistivity anomalies corresponding to low-salinity groundwater plumes associated with them, likely due to the presence of fine-grained estuarine mud and peats in the channel fills that act as submarine confining units. Where present, these units allow plumes of low-salinity groundwater that was recharged onshore to move beyond the shoreline, creating a complex fresh-saline groundwater interface in the subsurface. The properties of this interface are important considerations in construction of accurate coastal groundwater flow models. These models are required to help predict how nutrient-rich groundwater, recharged in agricultural watersheds such as this one, makes its way into coastal bays and impacts surface water quality and estuarine ecosystems.

Location and analyses of sediment samples collected on Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2017-030-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, May 18-23, 2017

This field activity is part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. This cruise was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited 50 locations on Stellwagen Bank at which a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties.

The High Plains aquifer extends from south of 32 degrees to almost 44 degrees north latitude and 
from 96 degrees 30 minutes to 104 degrees west longitude. The aquifer underlies about 175,000 
square miles in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, 
Texas, and Wyoming. The Republican River Basin is about 25,000 square miles and is located in 
northeast Colorado, northern Kansas, and southwest Nebraska. The Republican River Basin 
overlies the High Plains aquifer for 87 percent of the basin area. This dataset consists of a raster 
of water-level changes for the High Plains aquifer, in the Republican River Basin, 2002 to 2015. 
This digital dataset was created using water-level measurements from (1) 977 wells, which are 
located in the Republican River Basin, and (2) 546 wells, which are located within 20 miles 
outside the boundary of the Republican River Basin. These 1,523 wells were measured in 
both 2002 and in 2015. The map was reviewed for consistency with the relevant data at a 
scale of 1:1,000,000.

Thickness of Quaternary undifferentiated glaciofluvial, glaciolacustrine, fluvial, and lacustrine deposits within the St. Clair River between Michigan and Ontario, Canada, 2008 (ESRI GRID, QU)

In 2008, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a geophysical and sampling survey of the riverbed of the Upper St. Clair River between Port Huron, MI, and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The objectives were to define the Quaternary geologic framework of the St. Clair River to evaluate the relationship between morphologic change of the riverbed and underlying stratigraphy. This report presents the geophysical and sample data collected from the St. Clair River, May 29-June 6, 2008 as part of the International Upper Great Lakes Study, a 5-year project funded by the International Joint Commission of the United States and Canada to examine whether physical changes in the St. Clair River are affecting water levels within the upper Great Lakes, to assess regulation plans for outflows from Lake Superior, and to examine the potential effect of climate change on the Great Lakes water levels ( http://www.iugls.org). This document makes available the data that were used in a separate report, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2009-1137, which detailed the interpretations of the Quaternary geologic framework of the region. This report includes a description of the suite of high-resolution acoustic and sediment-sampling systems that were used to map the morphology, surficial sediment distribution, and underlying geology of the Upper St. Clair River during USGS field activity 2008-016-FA . Video and photographs of the riverbed were also collected and are included in this data release. Future analyses will be focused on substrate erosion and its effects on river-channel morphology and geometry. Ultimately, the International Upper Great Lakes Study will attempt to determine where physical changes in the St. Clair River affect water flow and, subsequently, water levels in the Upper Great Lakes.

Point shapefile of processed continuous resistivity profiling data below the sediment water interface collected in Greenwich Bay, Rhode Island, on May 14, 2009, on U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity 2009-021-FA (Geographic, WGS84)

As part of a larger investigation to understand groundwater-surface water interactions in Greenwich Bay, Rhode Island, a geophysical survey was conducted from a small research boat on 14-15 May 2009. The specific research objective was to gain an improved understanding of the role of direct groundwater discharge in delivery of excess nitrogen to the bay, which may have contributed to the development of low-oxygen conditions in waters of the bay and associated fish kills. Data collected in this survey included digital navigation information, continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) data, and point salinity measurements. The CRP method is a survey and data processing approach that is sensitive to differences in electrical properties of surface water and underlying porewater in sediments that have contrasting salinities. During the survey, Greenwich Bay salinity was approximately 27 ppm, so surface water would be expected to have low electrical resistivity (high conductivity), and any areas of active groundwater discharge from less salty aquifer sources would yield relatively higher resistivity values. This survey is identified as field activity 09021 (also referenced as 2009-021-FA) by the U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and additional information is available from: https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2009-021-FA.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Central Oklahoma aquifer in central Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized polygons of a constant
recharge value for the Central Oklahoma aquifer in central
Oklahoma. This area encompasses all or part of Cleveland,
Lincoln, Logan, Oklahoma, Payne, and Pottawatomie
Counties. The Central Oklahoma aquifer includes the alluvial
and terrace deposits along major streams, the Garber
Sandstone and Wellington Formations, and the Chase, Council
Grove, and Admire Groups. The Quaternary-age alluvial and
terrace deposits consist of unconsolidated clay, silt, sand,
and gravel. The Permian-age Garber Sandstone and Wellington
Formations consist of sandstone with interbedded siltstone
and mudstone. The Permian-age Chase, Council Grove, and
Admire Groups consist of sandstone, shale, and thin
limestone.
The recharge data set was created from digital data sets
developed to produce a map for a previously published
report. Most of the recharge to the Central Oklahoma aquifer
is infiltration of precipitation through outcrops of the
Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formations, the Chase,
Council Grove, and Admire Groups, and the alluvial and
terrace deposits. The median recharge to the aquifer is 1.61
inches per year.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer in east-central Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized water-level elevation
contours for the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer in east-central Oklahoma.
The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is an important source of water that
underlies about 2,320-square miles of parts of Osage, Pawnee,
Payne, Creek, Lincoln, Okfuskee, and Seminole Counties.
Approximately 75 percent of the water withdrawn from the
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is for municipal use. Rural domestic use and
water for stock animals account for most of the remaining water
withdrawn. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is defined in a ground-water
report as consisting principally of the rocks of the Late
Pennsylvanian-age Vamoosa Formation and overlying Ada Group. The
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer consists of a complex sequence of fine- to
very fine-grained sandstone, siltstone, shale, and conglomerate
interbedded with very thin limestones. The water-yielding
capabilities of the aquifer are generally controlled by lateral
and vertical distribution of the sandstone beds and their
physical characteristics. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is unconfined
where it outcrops in about an 1,700-square-mile area.
		
The water-level elevation contours were digitized from a mylar
map, at a scale of 1:250,000, used to publish a plate in a
ground-water report about the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer. The
water-level elevation contours in this data set extend west of
the aquifer outcrop to areas where Vanoss Group rocks overlie
the Ada Group. The data set also includes a water-level
elevation contour for a terrace deposit east of the aquifer
outcrop near the North Canadian River. Water-level elevations
range from 800 to 1,000 feet above sea level for the Vamoosa-Ada
aquifer.
