The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a method for estimating the mobility and potential alongshore transport of heavier-than-water sand and oil agglomerates (tarballs or surface residual balls, SRBs).  During the Deepwater Horizon spill, some oil that reached the surf zone of the northern Gulf of Mexico mixed with suspended sediment and sank to form sub-tidal mats. If not removed, these mats can break apart to form SRBs and subsequently re-oil the beach.  A method was developed for estimating SRB mobilization and alongshore movement.  A representative suite of wave conditions was identified from buoy data for April, 2010, until August, 2012, and used to drive a numerical model of the spatially-variant alongshore currents.  Potential mobilization of SRBs was estimated by comparing combined wave- and current-induced shear stress from the model to critical stress values for several sized SRBs. Potential alongshore flux of SRBs was also estimated to identify regions more or less likely to have SRBs deposited under each scenario.  This methodology was developed to explain SRB movement and redistribution in the alongshore, interpret observed re-oiling events, and thus inform re-oiling mitigation efforts.

Simulated potentiometric surface contours at end of simulation (1998) in model layer 16 of the transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

These contours represent the simulated potentiometric surface at the end of simulation (1998) in model layer 
16 of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer 
region of southern Nevada and California. The numerical ground-water flow model simulates prepumping 
conditions before 1913 and transient-flow conditions from 1913 to 1998 after pumping of ground water began. 
The DVRFS transient ground-water flow model is the most recent in a number of regional-scale models 
developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support 
investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see "Larger Work Citation", 
Chapter A, page 8, for details).

Magnetotelluric sounding data, station 31, San Luis Valley, Colorado, 2007

This dataset includes the magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data collected in 2007 in and near the San Luis Valley, Colorado. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a series of multidisciplinary studies, including MT surveys, in the San Luis Valley to improve understanding of the hydrogeology of the Santa Fe Group and the nature of the sedimentary deposits comprising the principal groundwater aquifers of the Rio Grande rift. The shallow unconfined and the deeper confined Santa Fe Group aquifers in the San Luis Basin are the main sources of municipal water for the region. The population of the San Luis Valley region is growing rapidly and water shortfalls could have serious consequences. Future growth and land management in the region depend on accurate assessment and protection of the region's groundwater resources.

Online survey responses from users of the Joint Fire Science Program Fire Science Exchange Network from February 2021

The USGS, on behalf of the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP), conducted an evaluation of the Fire Science Exchange Network (FSEN), which connects wildland fire scientists and practitioners through 15 individual exchanges across the United States to help address complex wildfire needs and challenges. This data set is from an online survey sent to more than 16,000 exchange network users during February 2021, who were compiled from the electronic mailing lists for each exchange. Respondents were asked their opinions on the importance, quality, and delivery of information for 16 key fire science topics, the prioritization of FSEN objectives, and from where and to what extent respondents are gathering information on key topics.

Evapotranspiration Measured at two Rangeland sites in Victoria County, South-Central Texas, 2015-2018

The U.S. Geological Survey and Desert Research Institute, in cooperation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board, Victoria County Groundwater Conservation District, Victoria Soil and Water Conservation District, and the San Antonio River Authority, evaluated the hydrologic effects of Vachellia farnesiana var. farnesiana (huisache) removal on rangeland evapotranspiration in Victoria County, Texas. Measurements of evapotranspiration (ET), rainfall, and related properties were made at two sites during March 2015 through August 2018. One site was predominately grassland. The other site was dominated by dense huisache vegetation that was removed about halfway through the study period. To obtain the meteorological and surface energy flux data needed for the calculation of ET, the two sites were instrumented with LI-COR Biosciences eddy-covariance systems (LI-COR Biosciences, 2019).
The resulting ET data were examined for differences between the locations and differences between the pre-removal (2015–16) and post-removal (2017–18) periods to assess the effects of huisache removal on ET. ET measurements were made using the eddy-covariance method and were supplemented by remote-sensing estimates of ET derived from thermal and optical satellite images. 
The data presented in this data release include various types of meteorological data (for example air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation) and various energy flux data pertaining to ET (for example latent and sensible heat flux). Turbulent fluxes were compared to measured radiative fluxes to assess the energy budget. The sensible-heat flux was computed by taking variations in temperature into consideration. The relation between a given ET rate and the associated latent-heat flux was calculated. Details of the various energy flux calculation are described in the LI-COR Biosciences, 2016. The methods are further described along with the results of the study in the companion report (U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations report 2020-XXX).

SUTRA model used to evaluate long-term groundwater availability in the Waihe'e, 'Īao, and Waikapū aquifer systems, Maui, Hawaiʻi

Groundwater levels have declined since the 1940s in the Wailuku area of central Maui, Hawaiʻi, 
on the eastern flank of West Maui volcano, mainly in response to increased groundwater 
withdrawals. Available data since the 1980s also indicate a thinning of the freshwater lens and an 
increase in chloride concentrations of pumped water from production wells. These trends, 
combined with projected increases in demand for groundwater in central Maui, have led to 
concerns over groundwater availability and have highlighted a need to improve understanding of 
the hydrologic effects of proposed groundwater withdrawals in the Waiheʻe, ʻĪao, and Waikapū 
areas of central Maui. A three-dimensional, variable-density solute-transport model (SUTRA) was 
developed to evaluate the effects of seven selected withdrawal/recharge scenarios on water 
levels and salinity of groundwater in central Maui, Hawaiʻi. The model was constructed using 
water-level and salinity data available for the period from 1926 to 2012. Groundwater recharge for 
the model was estimated using a daily water budget for the period of interest. Inflow of 
groundwater at the model boundaries was estimated from an existing island-wide numerical 
groundwater-flow model (Izuka and others, 2021, available at https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205126).
The data release also includes the SUTRA source code and executable file used to run the 
simulations. The SUTRA code was modified to include a simplified representation of water-table 
storage (Gingerich, 2008, available at https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5236/; Gingerich and Engott,
