Evaluation of Carbon dioxide as a dreissenid control tool: Data

Control technology for dreissenid mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and D. bugensis) currently relies heavily on chemical molluscicides that can be both costly and ecologically harmful. There is a need to develop more environmentally neutral control tools to manage dreissenid mussels, particularly in cooler water. Carbon dioxide has been shown to be lethal to several species of invasive bivalves, including zebra mussels and Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea). We evaluated the effects of various treatment regimes [i.e., exposure duration and pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide)] on mortality, byssal thread formation and attachment, and narcotization behavior. The effects of elevated carbon dioxide on nontarget native freshwater mussel Lampsilis siliquoidea were also measured. Results of trials conducted at 12°C indicated that carbon dioxide exposure induced narcotization behavior and reduced attachment of zebra mussels within 24 h.  An extended exposure duration (96 h) produced 80-100% mortality of zebra mussels, and was safe to juvenile L. siliquoidea  mussels. The results indicate that carbon dioxide could be used in an integrated pest management program for dreissenid mussels

Data to accompany U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 1099: Petrographic, geochemical and geochronologic data for Cenozoic volcanic rocks of the Tonopah, Divide, and Goldfield Mining Districts, Nevada

This dataset is the assembled analytical results of geochemical, petrographic, and geochronologic data for samples, principally those of unmineralized Tertiary volcanic rocks, from the Tonopah, Divide, and Goldfield mining districts of west-central Nevada. Much of the data presented here for the Tonopah and Divide districts are for samples collected by Bonham and Garside (1979) during geologic mapping in and around those districts, whereas much of that for samples from the Goldfield district were obtained by Ashley (1974; 1979; 1990). Additional data were derived from samples collected between 2012–2017, as part of the U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Resources Program funded project titled: “Magmatic-tectonic history and component sources of major precious metal deposits in the southern Walker Lane”. A small amount of additional geochemical data for samples from each of the districts were compiled from other sources.

DS-777 Average Annual Irrigation Withdrawals, 2000 to 2009, in inches estimated from the Soil Water Balance (SWB) Model for the High Plains Aquifer in Parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming

The water-budget-components geodatabase contains selected data from maps in the, 
"Selected Approaches to Estimate Water-Budget Components of the High Plains, 1940 
through 1949 and 2000 through 2009" report (Stanton and others, 2011). Data were 
collected and synthesized from existing climate models including the Parameter-Elevation 
Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) (Daly and others, 1994), and the 
Snow accumulation and ablation model (SNOW-17) (Anderson, 2006),and used in 
soil-water balance models to compute various components of a water budget. The 
methodologies used to compute the averages and volumes for the data in this 
geodatabase are slightly different for different components and models.

Probable suitable habitat for Harwood's eriastrum (Eriastrum harwoodii) in the California desert

Here we present the map of probable suitable habitat for Harwood's eriastrum (Eriastrum harwoodii). The data indicate both how many models predicted each location to be suitable for the species, and the average standardized habitat suitability score for each location.Data are presented at a spatial resolution of 10 m pixels, which was required to harmonize the original model inputs. However, maps of suitable habitat should be used at a resolution no smaller than 360 m (i.e., 36 pixels x 36 pixels), which corresponds with the resolution of the coarsest model input. This product can be used to inform future conservation, planning, and management actions in the California desert. Complete methods and other additional information are provided in the article associated with this data release (Reese and others, 2019).

Quantification of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms (targeting nifH gene) in Cladophora algae by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)

Data were collected to determine the abundance of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms in Cladophora algae growing on rocks, breakwall structures, or submerged dreissenid mussel beds around southern Lake Michigan. Cladophora samples (N=33) were collected between June and September 2015 from three urban areas: (a) Jeorse Park, East Chicago, Indiana, (b) Calumet Beach, Chicago, Illinois, and (c) North Beach, Racine, Wisconsin, and a National Park site, Portage Lakefront, Indiana Dunes National Park, Indiana. Corresponding lake water samples (N=33) were collected approximately 15-20 feet away from submerged algal mats. Genomic DNA was extracted from water and processed algal samples. The abundance of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms in water and algal samples was determined by a SYBR-Green quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay by targeting the nifH gene. The coordinate file includes information regarding sampling locations and their corresponding latitudes and longitudes. The data files include DNA quality and yield from water and algal samples, and abundance of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms in water and algal samples as determined by the SYBR-Green qPCR assay.

Nearshore bathymetry of the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, 2014

This portion of the USGS data release presents bathymetry data collected during surveys performed in the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon in 2014 (USGS Field Activity Number 2014-631-FA). Bathymetry data were collected using four personal watercraft (PWCs) equipped with single-beam sonar systems and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. The sonar systems consisted of an Odom Echotrac CV-100 single-beam echosounder and 200 kHz transducer with a 9° beam angle. Raw acoustic backscatter returns were digitized by the echosounder with a vertical resolution of 1.25 cm. Depths from the echosounders were computed using sound velocity profiles measured using a YSI CastAway CTD during the survey. Positioning of the survey vessels was determined at 5 to 10 Hz using Trimble R7 GNSS receivers. Output from the GNSS receivers and sonar systems were combined in real time on the PWC by a computer running HYPACK hydrographic survey software. Navigation information was displayed on a video monitor, allowing PWC operators to navigate along survey lines at speeds of 2–3 m/s.
Survey-grade positions of the PWCs were achieved with a single-base station and differential post-processing. Positioning data from the GNSS receivers were post-processed using Waypoint Grafnav to apply differential corrections from a GNSS base station with known horizontal and vertical coordinates relative to the North American Datum of 1983. Orthometric elevations relative to the NAVD88 vertical datum were computed using National Geodetic Survey Geoid12a offsets. Bathymetric data were merged with post-processed positioning data and spurious soundings were removed using a custom Graphical User Interface (GUI) programmed with the computer program MATLAB.
The average estimated vertical uncertainty of the bathymetric measurements is 10 cm. The final point data from the PWCs are provided in a comma-separated text file and are projected in cartesian coordinates using the Washington State Plane South, meters coordinate system.

Juvenile native fish and sedative data from a laboratory and field experiment

These data were compiled for a study evaluating if rare or endangered fishes (e.g., Humpback Chub and Bonytail) can be transported in a shipping bag with 1-L of water and minimal sedative into remote locations. There were two components (laboratory trials and a field trial) of the study conducted in 2014 and 2017. Laboratory trials were conducted at the Rocky Mountain Research Station in Flagstaff, Arizona to evaluate three sedatives: AquaCalm, Tricaine-S, or Aqui-S 20E. Pilot trials were conducted with five fish (Bonytail) placed in a bag, where induction/recovery times, level of sedation, and fate after release were monitored for fish exposed to a sedative. Fish density increased to 20 fish (Bonytail and Humpback Chub) per shipping bag once sedative doses were refined. For high density (n=20 fish per bag) trials, two doses of each sedative were selected to evaluate. Variables monitored in the high-density trials were level of sedation, fate of fish at release, and fate of fish 24 hours after release. For each sedative dose, three shipping bags were prepared and opened at 4-h intervals until a 12-h period was reached. Control replicates (i.e., shipping bags containing fish and no sedative) were conducted for all densities (n=5 or n=20 fish per bag) of fish and also opened at 4-h intervals until a 12-h period was reached. From laboratory trials, the most effective (i.e., minimal mortality, and light sedation) sedative and dose were then selected for the field component of the study, where 240 Humpback Chub (n=20 fish per bag; 6 shipping bags treated with 0.1 mL/L of Aqui-S 20E and 6 shipping bags without sedative) were hiked into the Little Colorado River, Arizona.

Water level, temperature, and chemistry in a deep well on the summit of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii

High-resolution (plus or minus (±) 0.1°C) temperature measurements were accomplished with a platinum resistance temperature (PRT) probe. The PRT probe, suspended from an armored logging cable, was lowered into the well over a sheave with a portable hand-cranked reel. Attached to the sheave were both mechanical and digital depth counters. The PRT output and digital depth counter were connected to an electronic data logger programmed to display and record the temperature and depth values at 5-second intervals.  
The temperature logs were conducted from the top of the water column downward at 10 foot increments so that the established thermal equilibrium of the water column was least disturbed by logging. Once the target depth was reached the PRT probe was allowed to equilibrate for approximately 2 minutes. If after approximately 2 minutes the displayed temperature was within 0.1°C, the probe was lowered to the next 10-foot increment. Otherwise, logging was continued until the displayed temperature was stable within 0.1°C. The recorded data file was post-processed for each 10-foot increment measuring point by averaging the last 10 recorded temperature values, or 50 seconds of data collected. 
Periodic calibration checks of the PRT probe were performed in a temperature-controlled water bath using an ASTM certified mercury thermometer in a USGS laboratory in Menlo Park, California. On the basis of these calibration checks no corrections were applied to the recorded water temperature logs, which are assumed to have a temperature resolution of ± 0.1°C and a depth resolution conservatively estimated at ± 1 foot.
Depth measurements were referenced to the top of the wellhead, located at 1103 meters above sea level at the time of drilling in 1973. 
In March 2019, no measurements could be made below a depth of 1790 feet.
