Basin-hosted (CD/SEDEX and MVT) Zn-Pb deposits and prospects shapefiles for the United States, Canada, and Australia

This compilation contains a list of approximately 8,600 sites across the United States, Canada, and Australia where Zn-Pb-mineralized rock is attributed to basinal brine-related mineralizing processes, specifically assigned to Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) or clastic-dominated (CD) deposit types; a second group of 147 sites, classified as “unknown”, but which may have similar genesis, is also included. These sites were selected based on interpretations of 16 published databases, including the Mineral Resources Data System (USGS, 2016) and the Alaska Resource Data File (USGS, 1996) for the United States, and comprise a significant but not necessarily complete dataset. Each site is further classified by deposit type and development status. For the limited deposits where grade and tonnage information are available, tonnage and published Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, and Au grades are provided. References for source data are also included.

Shapefiles of ancient and modern passive margins for the world

Two shapefiles mapping the locations of ancient and modern passive margin boundaries are presented. These data are a digital recreation of the work originally published by Bradley (2008). The ancient passive margin data were used as an evidential layer to map prospectivity for sediment-hosted Pb-Zn mineral systems (Lawley and others, 2022). The ancient passive margins dataset includes additional attributes related to the boundary's orogenic setting and history, the length of the boundary, its estimated lifespan, and its modern-day country location. Although only ancient passive margin boundaries were analyzed for the United States, Canada, and Australia for this study, boundaries for the world are included in the shapefile. The modern passive margin dataset includes an identifier for the margin segment, a margin name, the associated ocean, and age ranges of basin initiation, mean age and length of the respective passive margin segment. The modern passive margin data were not used in prospectivity modeling for ancient deposits. The passive margin boundaries in both files are mapped as line segments in geographic coordinates using a WGS84 datum.

Lake Erie Fish Community Data, 2013-2021

Assessing the distribution and abundance of both predator and prey (forage) fish species is a cornerstone of ecosystem-based fishery management, and supports decision making that considers food-web interactions. In support of binational Great Lakes fishery management the objectives of this survey were to: provide estimates of densities of key forage and predator species in the western basin of Lake Erie, to assess seasonal and spatial distributions of fishes in tandem with water quality information, and to assess year class strength. A systematic grid sampling approach with 41 stations was sampled via bottom trawl during June (Spring) and September (Autumn), starting in 2013. This data release adds 2021 data to the set for a total of nine years observation using the same gear and sampling design.

Data acquired in laboratory experiments conducted with the stonefly Zapada sp. and the ephemerellid mayflies Drunella sp. and Ephemerella tibialis to characterize uptake and surface adsorption after short aqueous exposures to uranium, 2017-2019

Little is known about the underlying mechanisms governing uranium (U) bioaccumulation in aquatic insects, especially the influence of surface adsorption on the measured U concentrations (Henry et al. 2020). U.S. Geological Survey scientists are conducting experiments to parameterize conditional rate constants for aqueous U uptake and to quantify desorption of weakly bound U from insect's integument.

Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey data, northeast Wisconsin (ver. 1.1, June 2022)

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during January and February 2021 over a distance of 3,170 line kilometers in northeast Wisconsin. These data were collected in support of an effort to improve estimates of depth to bedrock through a collaborative project between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP), and Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS). Data were acquired by SkyTEM Canada Inc. with the SkyTEM 304M time-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic system together with a Geometrics G822A cesium vapor magnetometer. The survey was acquired at a nominal flight height of 30 - 40 m above terrain along parallel flight lines oriented northwest-southeast with nominal line spacing of 0.5 miles (800 m). AEM data were inverted to produce models of electrical resistivity along flight paths, with typical depth of investigation up to about 300 m and 1 - 2 m near-surface resolution. Shallow resistivity transitions were used to estimate depth to bedrock across the survey area.

Marine magnetic data from twelve cruises of Pioneer and Rehoboth in 1955 and 1956 off British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California [CSV]

These text files in CSV (comma-separated values) format) contain total‐field marine magnetic data from eleven cruises of the USCGS ship Pioneer (OSS‐31) and one cruise from the USS Rehoboth (AGS‐50) in deep water off the west coast of the United States and southern British Columbia in 1955 and 1956. Magnetic anomalies are calculated with the latest definitive geomagnetic reference field (DGRF) included in the 12th Generation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field model (Thébault and others, 2015). The marine magnetic data from these cruises were recovered from backup tapes that archived the work of Skaer and Hey in the late 1980s (Skaer, 1989). Fernandez and Hey (1991) merged these 1950s data with magnetic data from subsequent cruises. Raw data are provided in individual‐cruise CSV files and industry standard MGD77T files, which are also available in the data release. Our recovery of the 1991 data from legacy media provides a data set that helps advance magnetic field studies in the region.

Digital Data for the Preliminary Bedrock Geologic Map of the Blythe 30' x 60' Quadrangle, California and Arizona

The Blythe 30' x 60' quadrangle in southeastern California and southwestern Arizona displays complex geology that includes Mesozoic contractional deformation, metamorphism, and magmatism and Cenozoic extensional deformation and magmatism. The scope of the present map is limited to bedrock units of Miocene and older age because the younger deposits have not been mapped in sufficient detail across the quadrangle to support a systematic compilation. Mapping and topical studies by previous investigators (refer to accompanying pamphlet) resulted in recognition of the following regionally significant geologic features: (1) variably metamorphosed and deformed Paleozoic to early Mesozoic sedimentary rocks stratigraphically correlative with cratonal platform strata of the Colorado Plateau region; (2) Jurassic plutonic and volcanic rocks; (3) thick sequences of moderately to weakly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic to Cretaceous McCoy Basin; (4) ductile folds and faults of the Late Cretaceous Maria Belt; and (5) Miocene detachment faults in the Big Maria and Plomosa Mountains. A major recent discovery is the recognition of the Late Cretaceous to Paleogene Orocopia Schist structurally below undated gneiss in the northern Plomosa Mountains. This northernmost outcrop area of Orocopia Schist yet found in western Arizona demonstrates that the entire Blythe quadrangle likely is underlain by this extensive, tectonically underplated subduction complex. In addition, post-middle Miocene transtensional deformation has been documented in the northern La Posa Plain, including recognition of left-lateral motion on two northeast-striking faults in the northern Plomosa Mountains and at Mesquite Mountain.

USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project - Williston Basin, Bakken and Three Forks Formations Continuous Assessment Unit Boundaries and Assessment Input Data Forms

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in the Bakken and Three Forks formations in the Williston Basin province in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources.  The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System.  The Assessment Unit is shown herein as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologist responsible for the province and incorporates a set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations sharing similar geologic, geographic, and temporal properties within the Total Petroleum System, such as source rock, timing, migration pathways, trapping mechanism, and hydrocarbon type.  The Assessment Unit boundary is defined geologically as the limits of the geologic elements that define the Assessment Unit, such as limits of reservoir rock, geologic structures, source rock, and seal lithologies.  The only exceptions to this are Assessment Units that border the Federal-State water boundary.  In these cases, the Federal-State water boundary forms part of the Assessment Unit boundary.  Methodology of assessments are documented in USGS Data Series 547 for continuous assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/547) and USGS DDS69-D, Chapter 21 for conventional assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-069/dds-069-d/REPORTS/69_D_CH_21.pdf).

Bird Responses to Young Stand Thinning in Western Oregon in 2013

The US Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, and Oregon State University established the Young Stand Thinning and Diversity Study (YSTDS) in 1990 to demonstrate and test options for young stand management in western Oregon. The YSTDS is designed to determine if different thinning, underplanting, and snag creation treatments in 35-50 year-old plantations can accelerate the development of late-seral conditions. The study was implemented on 4 replicate blocks, each consisting of an untreated Control stand and 1 each of the following stand-level thinning treatments: (1) a Light Thin treatment, approximating the timber industry standard, with about 260 residual trees per hectare (tph; 100/acre); (2) a Heavy Thin treatment leaving approximately 130 tph (50/acre) and underplanted with native conifer seedlings; and (3) a Light Thin with Gaps (hereafter simply “Gaps”) treatment, again with 260 tph plus an additional 20% of the stand area harvested to leave 0.2 ha (0.5-acre) openings underplanted with native conifer seedlings. Pre-thinning baseline data (documenting vegetation, fungi, wildlife, and photopoints) were gathered in 1992-1994, and the thinning treatments were implemented through timber sale contracts from late 1994 through early 1997, with most logging occurring during 1995-96. During the thinning harvests, detailed analyses were carried out to examine pre-sale planning and layout costs, comparative productivity and costs of various harvesting alternatives, residual stand damage, and soil disturbance and compaction. A considerable body of publications on these operational aspects of the YSTDS constitutes one of the largest portions of the study’s results so far. Much science was accomplished during the 15 years after the YSTDS thinning treatments were applied. Vegetative response to the thinning was measured in 1996, 1999, 2001, and 2006. Changes in volumes of coarse woody debris and the responses of fungi, arthropods, amphibians, birds, and small mammals also were assessed. Five years after thinning (2001), snag densities in the YSTDS were artificially increased by topping trees and inoculating some with fungal mycelia, to increase the abundance of dead trees for cavity-nesting birds and mammals; cavity-nester use of these intentionally created snags was conducted in 2010. The study also included a social science component exploring the public’s response to visual changes in the forest from the thinning operations.
