National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Appalachian Basin (067) Quarter-Mile Cells

Cell maps for each oil and gas assessment unit were created by the USGS as a method for illustrating the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in an assessment unit or province. Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing, gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, dry, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown. The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which is a proprietary, commercial database containing information for most oil and gas wells in the U.S.  Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data. No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps.  The data from PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data were current as of October 2001 when the cell maps were created in 2002.

Northern Lake Michigan Gillnet Assessment 1998-2023

Annual spring (May) and fall (late October through early November) gillnet assessment surveys were conducted by researchers at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) in northern Lake Michigan, including the Northern Refuge, between 1998-2023.  Total length, weight, sex, maturity, and sea lamprey wounds were recorded for each lake trout and burbot caught in the gill nets.  Lake trout were aged: (1) by decoding information on an extracted coded wire tag; (2) using fin clip information; or (3) enumerating annuli on a maxilla bone.  Burbot were aged by enumerating annuli on an otolith.  Catch of both lake trout and burbot have been recorded for each of the gill nets that have been set.  To study the dynamics of the lake trout and burbot populations in the Northern Refuge, these gillnet survey data have been analyzed and the results interpreted.

Risk assessments of animal species, plant species, and disease in the United States available online between 1990 and 2023

Risk assessments describe the risk of a species’ invasion in a location, and many risk assessments have been produced by different institutions for various reasons. However, information is sporadically located online, increasing the difficulty of developing comprehensive lists of species with risk assessments or comparing assessment results across species in locations of interest.  Therefore, we aggregated species risk assessments by searching information systems and conducting a literature review. The methods for data aggregation are explained in the larger work citation (Dean et al. 2024). The present dataset documents risk assessments available at different spatial scales (e.g., territory, state, region, nation) for over 7,000 species including (but not limited to) fishes, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, mollusks, crustaceans, insects, plants, algae, and fungi. The dataset was used to help develop SIREN, a national Early Detection and Rapid Response Information System (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/fort-collins-science-center/science/siren-national-early-detection-and-rapid-response). It is important to note that most sources of risk assessments were available when collected in 2023; therefore, it is possible that the risk assessments detailed in the dataset may be removed online for one reason or another since 2023 (e.g., Grisé 2011). Additionally, some sources of risk assessments no longer exist but were described in a summary report or in an information system (e.g., Invasive Species Centre; https://www.invasivespeciescentre.ca/invasive-species/what-is-at-risk/invasive-species-risk-assessment/) in 2023; consequently, a user of the data may need to contact the original source of risk assessments to receive additional information (e.g., NatureServe).

GIWW (Gulf Intracoastal Waterway) to Clovelly Hydrologic Restoration (BA-02): 2018 land-water classification

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the GIWW (Gulf Intracoastal Waterway) to Clovelly Hydrologic Restoration (BA-02) project for 2018. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes.

Soil-Water-Balance model developed to simulate net infiltration in watersheds on the north shore of the Long Island Sound

This model archive provides input and output for Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) models developed to simulate groundwater recharge (net infiltration) for a groundwater model of watersheds on the north shore of the Long Island Sound.
The simulated groundwater recharge was further refined in the calibration of the groundwater flow model, which is published in a separate ScienceBase archive (https://doi.org/10.5066/P1HKENGV).
The SWB model was run from water year 2004 through water year 2022, which includes a model spin-up year to properly initialize the state of soil moisture for the first year of the desired simulation (water year 2005).

Summary simulated groundwater-transported nitrogen loads on the north shore of Long Island Sound and associated data

A monthly model of groundwater-transported nitrogen loads was developed for 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC12) watersheds on the north shore of Long Island Sound in coastal Connecticut and adjacent areas of New York and Rhode Island. As part of the analysis, potential management actions that upgraded septic systems or reduced fertilizer application to areas of turf-grass were also simulated. 
This compilation includes a zipped file (Tables.zip) of aggregated model outputs and datasets used in the model development. The zipped file contains a file dictionary (file_dictionary.csv) that includes the file name, title, and caption for each table and a data dictionary (data_dictionary.csv) that includes the variable name, data type, units, reasonable values, and a description for each column in the tables.
This compilation also includes a zipped file of supplemental figures (Figure.zip) that were not included in the main report. The zipped file contains a file dictionary (file_dictionary.csv) that includes the file name, title, and caption for each figure.
Finally, this compilation includes a shapefile of the HUC12 basins as used in this study. For the purposes of this study the seaward boundaries of the HUC12 basins were extended to include adjacent coastal waters and the shapefiles were delineated using the model grid. For these reasons the shapefiles will differ slightly from other geospatial datasets of the HUC12 basins.
Complete model inputs and outputs are available in the model archives accessible at https://doi.org/10.5066/P1HKENGV and https://doi.org/10.5066/P1GUC7FE.

Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models: Future Climate Data

This digital dataset contains the gridded future climate data used for the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models. The monthly climate data for Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models are based on the Salinas and Carmel River Basins Study (SCRBS) future climate scenarios [Henson and others, 2024). SCRBS considers one baseline climate scenario that represents recent historical climate conditions and five future climate scenarios: Hot-Wet (HW), Warm-Wet (WW), Hot-Dry (HD), Warm-Dry (WD), and Central Tendency (CT) [Henson and others, 2024]. To develop the monthly climate grids, the regional climate data was resampled to a monthly timescale and area weighted to the model grid. The climate data includes spatially distributed monthly precipitation and potential evapotranspiration (expressed in millimeters, mm) for the model grid for January 2016 to January 2100.

Macroinvertebrate communities in Delmarva Peninsula streams, 2022

From  2 April - 29 April 2022, a Virginia Tech team of 2-3 sampled the macroinvertebrate community in 30 Coastal Plain streams (Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, USA) as part of a larger stream-health study including other teams who surveyed geomorphology, water quality, flow, temperature,fish community, and fish health at the same 30 streams. Macroinvertebrates were sampled using a 250 micrometer mesh slack sampler on a known area. At each stream, samples were collected in two ways. 1) Five slack samples were taken in riffles according to the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment protocol, and 2) Five additional slack samples were collected in the most productive available habitat types such as woody debris, undercut banks or leaf packs. Additionally, water quality and habitat measurements were collected including water temperature, electrical conductivity, and clarity, and percent of the reach comprising pool, riffle, and run habitats.

Mean annual water-budget components for the Island of Hawaiʻi, Hawaiʻi, for a 2020 land-cover and a set of four climate scenarios, Part 2

This shapefile represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the eastern half (Part 2) of the Island of Hawaiʻi, Hawaiʻi for a 2020 land-cover and a set of four climate scenarios. The four climate scenarios used in the water-budget analyses include a reference climate scenario representative of recent conditions during 1978–2007, hereinafter the 1978–2007 scenario, and three downscaled future-climate projections. The three future-climate projections include (1) a mid-century scenario using projected rainfall conditions representative of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) 2041-71 scenario climate described in Elison Timm and others (2015), hereinafter the SD RCP8.5 2041-71 scenario, (2) a dry-climate scenario using projected rainfall conditions representative of the CMIP5 RCP8.5 2071-99 scenario climate described in Elison Timm and others (2015), hereinafter the SD RCP8.5 2071-99 scenario, and (3) ) a wet-climate scenario using a dynamical downscaling approach by configuring a regional climate model for the western North Pacific and southwest Pacific region, including the Hawaiian Islands described in Zhang and Wang (2017), hereinafter the Hawaiʻi Regional Climate Model version 2 (HRCM2) RCP4.5 2080-99. The water-budget components for each model subarea were computed for each climate scenario using a water-budget model developed by Oki (2022). A set of land-cover classes representative of conditions around 2020 was developed for this study to define the land-cover conditions for each model subarea (or polygon). The shapefile attribute information associated with each subarea present the land-cover class and an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, septic-system leachate, seepage from reservoirs and cesspools, runoff, canopy evaporation, total evapotranspiration, and groundwater recharge. This shapefile also includes select geographic and land-cover attributes of the model subareas. Brief descriptions of the water-budget components and attributes are included in this metadata file. Refer to Kāne and others (2024) for further details of the methods and sources used to determine these components and attributes.
