Long-term Experimental Forest Growth and Drought Data

These data were compiled in order to represent long-term (multi-decadal) forest growth across eight different experimental forests in the United States, each with replicated levels of density treatments, as well as an important drought index correlated to growth. Forests around the world are experiencing severe droughts and elevated competitive intensity due to increased tree density. These data can be utilized to not only examine differences in within-stand competition, as well the trends and impact of drought in different forests across a broad climatic gradient, but also the influence of interactions between drought and competition on forest growth. Growth is measured as a treatment level, annual basal area increment (BAI, mm2/year). The self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index (scPDSI) was used as index of annual scale drought severity and related to growth patterns.

Data Release for Secondary Hydrogeologic Regions of the Conterminous United States (ver. 2.0, June 2022)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) previously identified 62 Principal Aquifers (PAs) in the U.S., with 57 located in the conterminous states.  The USGS characterized areas outside of PAs as “other rocks;” other rocks account for about 40% of the area of the conterminous states. This paper subdivides the large area identified as other rocks into Secondary Hydrogeologic Regions (SHRs).  SHRs are defined as areas of other rock within which the rocks are of comparable geologic age, lithology, and relationship to the presence or absence of underling PAs or overlying glacial deposits. A total of 69 SHRs were identified.
SHRs were identified in two phases. In the first phase, Other Rock Regions (ORRs) were defined as regions underlain by geologic units of comparable age, lithology, and geologic or physiographic setting. ORRs were an intermediate product. In the second phase, ORRs were evaluated relative to the presence of PAs that may underlie the ORRs and (or) glacial deposits that may overly the ORRs. The presence or absence of stream-valley aquifers overlying an SHR was not considered, which is consistent with the identification of PAs. Identification and mapping of ORRs and SHRs was facilitated using digital databases and geographic information system tools.
The SHRs were classified using three criteria: (1) presence or absence of underlying PAs or overlying glacial deposits, (2) primary lithology, and (3) geologic province and subprovince. The number and size of SHRs identified in this paper are comparable to the number and size of PAs previously identified by the USGS. With the identification of SHRs, all areas of the conterminous U.S. belong to an internally consistent mapped feature, thus providing a comprehensive framework for assessing groundwater at regional and national scales.

Figure 3. Map showing Community Supply Wells (Price and Maupin, 2014) classified by the type of Secondary Hydrogeologic Region (SHR) that the well plots within.  Type refers to the presence of a Principal Aquifer beneath (first letter) or glacial deposits above a SHR (second letter); Y= yes, present, and N = no, not present. There are about 143,000 wells shown: 9% are in SHRs classified as Type NN, 13% in Type NY, 3% in type YN, and 4% in Type YY; 71% are in Principal Aquifers.

Terrestrial lidar data from the 2017 Upper Scenic Drive Landslide, La Honda, California: classified point cloud and gridded elevation data from 2016-2017

This dataset consists of point cloud data collected in 2016 and 2017 of the lower and upper Scenic Drive landslide locations in La Honda, California. Point cloud data were collected in 2016 to establish baseline for movement detection of past landslides. Point cloud data were collected in 2017 adjacent and upslope of 2016 data to document a newly formed landslide. The data were collected with a Riegl VZ400 Terrestrial Laser Scanner and georeferenced using a Leica Viva GS15 survey grade GPS. The data are delivered as georeferenced (NAD83 UTM zone 10N ellipsoid) classified point clouds, 5 cm resolution digital elevation models, and a text file of surveyed GPS control points.

Dye Concentration from Mobile Vessel Survey Downstream of Lock and Dam 14 near Pleasant Valley, Iowa (June 2017)

These data were collected in support of a multi-agency effort to evaluate the feasibility of using carbon dioxide to create a barrier and prevent upstream passage of invasive fish through navigational locks. The auxiliary lock at Lock and Dam 14 on the Mississippi River near Pleasant Valley, Iowa, was chosen for a field-scale trial of the carbon dioxide barrier to be conducted in 2018. In preparation for this trial, the mixing in the lock chamber during routine operations and the fate and transport of lock water released to the pool downstream was studied using a dye tracer. In June 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) performed two injections of Rhodamine WT dye into the auxiliary lock chamber as the lock was filled. The dye was injected directly into the fill water at the upstream valves on both sides of the lock.  The first injection of 0.82 liters of Rhodamine WT (0.41 liters per intake) occurred at 9:50 am on June 13, 2017. The second injection of 0.25 liters of Rhodamine WT (0.125 liters per intake) occurred at 12:11 pm on June 13, 2017. Both injections started approximately 1 minute after filling of the lock began and the injections took approximately 2 minutes to complete. The total time to fill the auxiliary lock in both cases was 6 minutes. All times are in Central Daylight Time (CDT). The distribution of dye within the lock chamber and downstream of the lock was measured using eight Turner Designs C3 submersible fluorometers (1 in vertical profiling mode in the lock chamber, 6 at fixed locations downstream of the lock, and 1 mounted on a mobile survey vessel).   
This data release is comprised of a time series of dye concentration measured by a mobile survey vessel that mapped the dye plume downstream of the auxiliary lock chamber at Lock and Dam 14 on the Mississippi River near Pleasant Valley, Iowa, on June 13, 2017 and June 14, 2017. The measurements were obtained using a Turner Designs C3 submersible fluorormeter (SN 2300150) mounted on the mobile survey vessel at a fixed depth of approximately 0.5 meters below the water surface. All parameters (dye concentration, turbidity, and temperature) were sampled at 1-second intervals. These data were georeferenced using a time-synced Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver with sub-meter accuracy mounted on a mast above the instrument.
