AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Thin section images of drill core and hand samples from the South Kawishiwi Intrusion, Duluth Complex, Minnesota

This dataset includes photographic images of thin sections created from hand samples and drill core sourced from the South Kawishiwi Intrusion, Duluth Complex, Minnesota, along with two shapefiles representing the locations of the samples and drill hole collars. The samples were collected and core was drilled in order to define copper-nickel-platinum-group element resources associated with the South Kawishiwi Intrusion in the Duluth Complex. The images of the entire thin section, both in plane- and cross-polarized light, were taken using a high-resolution digital camera on a macro stand. The data is organized into five zip files, containing three zip files with images sourced from drill core, one zip file with images sourced from hand samples and one zip file containing shapefiles. The zip files containing image data are organized into a folder containing the 'RAW' unprocessed .CR2 images and associated .xmp metadata files, and a folder containing processed .jpg images. Folders with "DH" in the folder name contain images taken from drill core samples. The folders with "hand_samples" in the file name contain images taken from the hand samples. The file name of each photograph correlates to the sample ID or name and depth (in feet) of the drill hole from which the thin section was sourced, and whether the photograph represents a plane-polarized (ppl) or cross-polarized (xpl) light image. For example, the "MEX-142W2-3486.2_xpl.jpg" file is a cross-polarized image of the thin section sourced from drill hole MEX-142W2 at a depth of 3486.2 feet. Multiple images from the same sample are identified with "(2)" in the file name. The .jpg and .CR2 images have Section 508 compliant metadata as per USGS section 508 compliancy officer guidelines. The .xmp files are included with the 'RAW' .CR2 files because the original .CR2 metadata cannot be altered. In order to add descriptive information to the metadata, the .xmp files must be included. The edited image metadata for the .jpg files can be viewed using software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Elements, or windows file explorer. The raw .CR2 images edited metadata can be viewed in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Elements, but is not viewable using windows file explorer. For the .CR2 images, only the original metadata, created when the photograph was taken, can be be viewed using windows file explorer.

Field and laboratory data to determine lethal pesticide concentrations for control of invasive crayfish-Laboratory data

These data consist of three related tables describing test conditions including pesticide concentration, water quality, and post-treatment survival of crayfish associated with laboratory studies conducted to determine 24-hr acute lethal concentrations of two pesticides containing pyrethrin or cypermethrin for two crayfish species, Procambarus clarkii and Faxonius virilis. Tests investigated whether two nominal temperatures (10 and 22 °C) and total suspended solids in water affected pesticide toxicity. Laboratory data will be used to design field treatments for open-water populations of invasive P. clarkii.  Water quality monitoring during testing followed standard testing protocols and included temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, hardness, ammonia, turbidity, and total suspended solids in test jars with sediment from West Bearskin Lake, MN (about 2% Total Organic Carbon (TOC)). Water samples were collected from water treatments with and without sediment for pesticide concentrations. Pesticide concentrations are reported for water and for filters plus sediment. Test organisms were exposed to pesticides for 24-hr prior before being assessed for survival.

Field and laboratory data to determine lethal pesticide concentrations for control of invasive crayfish

Data were collected associated with the application of a pesticide to a stormwater retention pond and burrows to suppress or eradicate an invasive crayfish species, Procambarus clarkii, in support of high-priority research developing control methods to mitigate impacts of invasive crayfish within the Great Lakes Basin. Effectiveness of the treatment was accessed using an in-situ bioassay and by measuring pesticide concentrations in water, sediment, and caged crayfish. Water quality data, including temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, hardness, ammonia, and turbidity, in stormwater ponds was collected to evaluate whether environmental conditions may impact treatment effectiveness and persistence of pesticide. Pesticide concentrations were assessed prior to chemical application of ponds and monitored for 88 days post application. Pesticide concentrations in burrows and adjacent pond were monitored prior to treating burrows and for up to three days post application. Research will assist management and regulatory agencies in interpretating laboratory acute and chronic data relative to field-based treatment and effects data, and in developing permitting requirements and best management practices for open-water and burrowed invasive crayfish populations.

Faults in the Coal Oil Point map area are identified on seismic-reflection data based on abrupt truncation or warping of reflections and (or) juxtaposition of reflection panels with different seismic parameters such as reflection presence, amplitude, frequency, geometry, continuity, and vertical sequence. Faults were primarily mapped by interpretation of seismic reflection profile data (see field activities S-7-08-SC and Z-3-07-SC). The seismic reflection profiles were collected in 2007 and 2008.

Reflectance and confocal laser scanning fluorescence spectroscopy of bituminite in Kimmeridge Clay

This work investigates the characterization of bituminite (amorphous sedimentary organic matter) in Kimmeridge Clay source rock via confocal laser canning microscopy (CLSM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). As part of an International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology working group, an immature (0.42% vitrinite reflectance), organic-rich (44.1 wt.% total organic carbon content) sample of Kimmeridge Clay (sample KC-1) was distributed to multiple laboratories for CLSM characterization. Findings from AFM include the observation that surface roughening or surface flattening of bituminite are induced by differential broad ion beam (BIB) milling and are dependent on the location and scale of AFM topology measurement. This result highlights our still limited understanding of the effects of BIB milling to sedimentary organic matter and indicates the need for further research before this technique can be advanced as a standard practice in petrographic sample preparation. Collectively, the results of this study illustrate the general applicability and versatility of AFM and CLSM as tools for organic petrology research, specifically for improved understanding of the nature and properties of the bituminite maceral.

Yellowstone Thermal Feature Mercury and Methylmercury Characterization

Data in this data release were obtained from water samples collected under Yellowstone National Park (YNP) Research Permit YELL-05194 in 2017, 2019, and 2020 through the Integrated Yellowstone Studies Project funded by the Mineral Resources Program. These samples were used to assess mercury cycling within YNP. Water samples were analyzed for total mercury and methylmercury, the bioaccumulated form in food webs. This data informs the biogeochemical processes controlling the broad range of mercury and methylmercury concentrations observed in the park. Natural abundance mercury stable isotopes were also collected to determine if mercury sources or cycling processes varied between different hydrothermal sources. Data produced as part of this study outlines how the different physicochemical processes, including mixing between meteoric and hydrothermal waters, boiling, and sorption, affect mercury isotope values in YNP.

Salinity_GBI_frontal: Modeling the effects of large-scale interior headland restoration on tidal hydrodynamics and salinity transport in an open coast, marine-dominant estuary: model input and results

Using version 20.1_19 of the Discontinuous-Galerkin Shallow Water Equations Model (DG-SWEM) (Kubatko and others, 2006), astronomic tides and salinity transport were simulated at Grand Bay, Alabama (AL), under scenarios of interior headland restoration and sea level rise, as described in Passeri and others (2023). The two-dimensional DG-SWEM model can be applied to coastal and estuarine systems to solve for time-dependent hydrodynamic circulation and salinity transport. The DG-SWEM model uses the ADCIRC framework (Luettich and others, 1992) and requires inputs of an unstructured finite element mesh. For this study, the mesh domain has an open ocean boundary in the Gulf of Mexico and has higher spatial resolution elements (20 - 100 meters (m)) along the Mississippi and Alabama coast. The model mesh coordinates (latitude and longitude) and simulated average salinity concentrations are included in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Passeri and others (2023).

Combination of Irrigation Sources on Agricultural Land in the Conterminous United States, 1992: National Resource Inventory Conservation Practice ISO05

This data set represents the estimated percentage of the 1-km grid cell that is covered by or subject to 
the agricultural conservation practice (CPIS05), Combination of Irrigation Sources (CIS) on agricultural 
land by county.  A combination of irrigation sources means one or more sources of irrigation, such as 
wells, ponds, or streams are used on agricultural land. (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995)  This data 
set was created with geographic information systems (GIS) and database management tools. The acres 
on which CIS's are applied were totaled at the county level in the tabular NRI database and then apportioned 
to a raster coverage of agricultural land within the county based on the Enhanced National Land Cover Dataset 
(NLCDe) 1-kilometer resolution land cover grids (Nakagaki, 2003). Federal land is not considered in this analysis 
because NRI does not record information on those lands.

Magnetic and related derivative GeoTIFF grids and data for Australia

This directory contains a national-scale magnetic anomaly grid for Australia (Geophysical Acquistion and Processing Section, 2020) and derivative grids calculated from the national scale compilation. The data are provided as GeoTIFF grids covering the country of Australia of reduced-to-pole (RTP) magnetic anomaly data, the 1st vertical derivative of the RTP, the horizontal gradient magnitude pseudo-gravity calculated from the RTP grid, the long-wavelength RTP magnetic anomaly, and the horizontal gradient magnitude of the long wavelength pseudo gravity calculated from the long wavelength RTP. The directory also includes shapefiles of locations that trace the maxima of the horizontal gradient magnitude of the pseudo-gravity and of the maxima of the horizontal gradient magnitude of the long wavelength RTP transformed to pseudo-gravity. Otherwise known as “worms”, the points tracking the maxima mark the edges of shallow magnetic sources (in the case of the RTP) and deeper magnetic sources (calculated from the long-wavelength RTP grid). The shapefile of worms also includes attribute fields related to the steepness of the gradient and to the trend or strike of the gradient. These data layers were used in combination with other geophysical and geological data layers as input into a mineral prospectivity model for basin-hosted Pb-Zn mineralization. The reader is encouraged to read the metadata specific to each data layer for details related to the calculation and derivation of each magnetic anomaly GeoTIFF grid or shapefile.

RGB-averaged orthoimagery of coastal North Carolina, on 2019-10-11, one-month post-Hurricane Dorian

RGB-averaged orthoimages were created from aerial imagery collected on October 11, 2019, along the North Carolina coast between the Virginia-North Carolina border vicinity and Cape Lookout, North Carolina. These RBG-averaged orthoimages were created to document ground conditions one-month after Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall on the North Carolina coast on September 6, 2019.
The RBG-averaged orthoimages help researchers estimate the land surface after Hurricane Dorian and were created to document inter-annual changes in shoreline position and coastal morphology in response to storm events using aerial imagery collections and a structure from motion (SFM) workflow. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to identify topographic and shallow-water bathymetric features.
