Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP) Trends Fractional Component Time-Series Across Western North America from 1985-2023

The RCMAP (Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection) dataset quantifies the percent cover of rangeland components across western North America using Landsat imagery from 1985-2023. The RCMAP product suite consists of ten fractional components: annual herbaceous, bare ground, herbaceous, litter, non-sagebrush shrub, perennial herbaceous, sagebrush, shrub, tree, and shrub height in addition to the temporal trends of each component. Several enhancements were made to the RCMAP process relative to prior generations. First, high-resolution training was revised using an improved neural-net classifier and modelling approach. These data serve as foundation to the RCMAP approach. The training database was further improved by incorporating additional datasets. Next, the Landsat compositing approach was improved to better capture the range of conditions from across each year and through time. These composites are based on Collection 2 Landsat data with improved geolocation accuracy and dynamic range. Finally, the Canadian portion of the sagebrush biome was included, which expanded the study area by 29,199 km2. 
Processing efficiency has been increased using open-source software and USGS High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources. The mapping area included eight regions which were subsequently mosaicked. These data can be used to answer critical questions regarding the influence of climate change and the suitability of management practices.

Geodetic measurements using a two-color Electronic Distance Meter made in California, 1975 to 2005

Measurements of changes in the distance (or length) between monuments are provided. These measurements were made using a two-color Electronic Distance Meter (EDM) that can measure distances between 1 and 10 KM. Nominal precision of these data range from 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm dependent upon the baseline’s length. These measurements were made between mid-1975 to mid-2006. Data in this archive are from eight networks, each consisting of more the 9 baselines. The locations of these networks in California include far northwestern California, Hollister, CA., Long Valley Caldera in eastern California, Parkfield, Pearblossom, and Anza; the last two located in Southern California. For four of the networks (Hollister, Parkfield, Long Valley, and Pearblossom), measurements were made roughly once per day with the goal of documenting transient deformation associated with earthquake and/or volcanic areas. Measurements of the other networks were less frequent from a few times each year to annual measurements. In many respects, these data, especially those made daily, are a forerunner of the current method of using GNSS receivers being operated continuously to measure deformation.
Some highlights from these data include the following: 1) episodes of inflation of the Long Valley caldera including the energetic episode in late 1997; 2) A 20 year record with high temporal resolution of deformation that proceeded 2004 M6 Parkfield earthquake which includes at least one episode of transient deformation; and 3) A 20-year record of steady rate of strain accumulation over a 10 km long segment of the San Andreas fault in Southern California.
The two color EDM is unique amongst EDMs. By ranging on two wavelengths (red and blue), it was able to resolve the correction to the optical travel-time to within 0.1 parts per million (ppm) of the length of the baseline. In contrast, the common single-color EDM require measurements of temperature and pressure at the end points of the baseline and a critical assumption that the temperature and pressure are constant along the baseline. At best, the precision of single color EDMs is 1 ppm. Refined-single color EDM measurements employed an aircraft equipped with temperature and pressure sensors to obtain the profile of these quantities along the baseline.

Beach foreshore slope for the West Coast of the United States (ver. 1.1, September 2024)

This data release contains foreshore slopes for primarily open-ocean sandy beaches along the west coast of the United States (California, Oregon and Washington). The slopes were calculated while extracting shoreline position from lidar point cloud data collected between 2002 and 2011. The shoreline positions have been previously published, but the slopes have not. A reference baseline was defined and then evenly-spaced cross-shore beach transects were created. Then all data points within 1 meter of each transect were associated with each transect. Next, it was determined which points were one the foreshore, and then a linear regression was fit through the foreshore points. Beach slope was defined as the slope of the regression. Finally, the regression was evaluated at the elevation of Mean High Water (MHW) to yield the location of the shoreline.  In some areas there was more than one lidar survey available; in these areas the slopes from each survey are provided. While most of the slopes are for sandy beaches, there is some slope data from rocky headlands and other steeper beaches.
These data files (slopeData_WestCoast.csv and slopeData_WestCoast.shp) contain beach slope, the location the beach slope data was calculated (the shoreline position), and the estimated uncertainty of the shoreline position. The accompanying data files (referenceLine_WestCoast.csv and referenceLine_WestCoast.shp) contain information about the reference baseline, the cross shore transects, and the MHW values used to estimate the shoreline location. The csv and shapefiles contain the same information, both file types are provided as a convenience to the user.

Catch and Biomass per unit effort of fishes in two Northern Wisconsin lakes from 2017-2021

Inland lake ecosystems are transforming due to unprecedented effects of climate changes and disturbance along riparian habitat, diminishing their potential to support fisheries. Walleye Sander vitreus, the most sought-after game fish in north-central North America supporting robust recreational and tribal fisheries, have declined. Climate change, harvest, invasive species, and concurrent increases in warm-water species (e.g., Centrarchidae) are implicated in declines. The Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) framework provides a structure to reconcile managing ecosystem transformations. To examine the utility of intensive resist actions, we conducted an experimental removal of centrarchids in a north temperate lake. We removed ~300,000 centrarchids from a lake over four years while monitoring the fish community response. Centrarchid abundance declined, yet we found no evidence of walleye recruitment but yellow perch Perca flavescens greatly increased. We present these findings to discuss the feasibility of resistance as a management strategy in supporting walleye fisheries facing environmental change as well as a segue for management discussions to move beyond traditional resist strategies when navigating ecosystem change.

Swim chamber respirometry, aerobic scope, and thermal tolerance experiments with two latitudinally-separated cisco (Coregonus artedi) populations 2022-2023

These data include aerobic scope and thermal tolerance measurements from two cisco (Coregonus artedi) populations to evaluate performance and potential adaptation to warming Great Lakes habitats. Cisco come from two stock sources: 1) a northern latitude Lake Huron stock collected as gametes from Les Cheneaux Islands, MI, USA in 2015 and raised in a USGS aquaculture lab in Ann Arbor, MI, and 2) a southern latitude stock from Crooked Lake, Noble County, IN, USA collected as adults from the wild in 2021 and 2022 and brought to Ann Arbor, MI. Data include three primary datasets. "Aerobic Scope Compiled Data" provides measures of cisco (Coregonus artedi) metabolic rates from 30L swim chamber respirometry trials (n=88). "Acute Thermal Tolerance" provides measures of short term cisco tolerance to elevated temperatures within a 185L swim chamber. Cisco that did not lose equilibrium in the acute thermal tolerance experiments were reserved for the "Chronic Thermal Tolerance" which provides measures of long term cisco tolerance to elevated temperatures in recirculating aquaculture systems. At the end of each of the three experiments cisco length and weight were recorded.
