Temporal hydrologic and chemical records from the Ox Bel Ha cave network within the coastal aquifer of the Yucatan Peninsula, from January 2015 to January 2016

Natural cave passages penetrating a coastal aquifer in the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico) were accessed to investigate how regional meteorology and hydrology control methane dynamics in karst subterranean estuaries. Three field trips were carried out in January 2015, June 2015, and January 2016 to obtain year-long high-resolution temporal records of water chemistry and environmental parameters below and above the surface at a site (Cenote Bang) within the Ox Bel Ha cave network. These efforts resulted in chemical records of dissolved methane concentrations and its stable carbon isotopic content and major ion concentrations (i.e., chloride and sulfate) in approximately 2.5-day resolution from January 2015 to January 2016, sampled by OsmoSamplers. In addition, sensor-based measurements of environmental parameters include year-long precipitation, barometric pressure, water level, flow velocity, and water temperature records. Field activities were carried out by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program in conjunction with Texas AM University at Galveston.

Evapotranspiration Units, Groundwater Discharge Area, and 2007-2008 Summer Mean Vegetation Index for Tule Valley and part of Sevier Valley, Utah

This USGS data release consists of three data sets used as the basis for estimates of groundwater discharge from evapotranspiration in Tule Valley and part of Sevier Valley, UT. The data sets are a mapped groundwater discharge area (GDA), a mean modified soil adjusted vegetation index (MSAVI), and evapotranspiration (ET) units derived from the MSAVI within the GDA. The GDA represents the area within each valley where discharge from evaporation by open water or bare soil and transpiration from phreatophytic plants exceeds the volume of water contributed by precipitation. The GDA was delineated during field reconnaissance of the study area using techniques similar to those used in previous studies throughout Nevada and eastern Utah. The mean MSAVI image is based on two Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) scenes representing midsummer conditions in 2007 and 2008. MSAVI was calculated for each TM image which were then combined by averaging the pixels within each scene. The resultant mean MSAVI image was used to estimate vegetation assemblages (ET units) within a mapped groundwater discharge area.

Metagenetic analysis of stream community composition based on environmental DNA

A survey of environmental DNA was performed in Tunison Creek downstream of the USGS Tunison Aquatic Laboratory. The goal of the survey was to characterize the source ecological community at multiple trophic or taxonomic levels by associating DNA fragments with reference databases. Three taxonomically informative genetic loci were used: the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 locus, the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal locus, and the bacterial/organellar 16S ribosomal locus. The data set includes a list of sample and sequence accessions residing in the National Center for Biotechnology Information databases, which provide the raw data for analysis or re-use. The data also includes the representative sequences of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and their abundance and taxonomic assignment, which are the primary endpoints of the data collection.

Data for Serpentinite-rich Gouge in a Creeping Segment of the Bartlett Springs Fault, Northern California: Comparison with SAFOD and Implications for Seismic Hazard

An exposure of a creeping segment of the Bartlett Springs Fault (BSF), part of the San Andreas system in northern California, is a ~1.5 m-wide zone of serpentinite-bearing fault gouge cutting through late Pleistocene fluvial deposits.  The fault gouge consists of porphyroclasts of antigorite serpentinite, talc, chlorite, and tremolite-actinolite, along with some Franciscan metamorphic rocks, in a matrix of the same materials.  The Mg-mineral assemblage is stable at temperatures above 250°-300°C.  The BSF gouge is interpreted to have been tectonically incorporated into the fault from depths near the base of the seismogenic zone, and to have risen buoyantly to the surface where it is now undergoing right-lateral displacement.  The ultramafic-rich composition, frictional properties, and inferred mode of emplacement of the BSF serpentinitic gouge correspond to those of the creeping traces of the San Andreas Fault identified in the SAFOD (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth) drillhole.  This suggests a common origin for creep at both locations.  A tectonic model for the source of the ultramafic-rich materials in the BSF is proposed that potentially could explain the distribution of creep throughout the northernmost San Andreas system.

Salmon spawning locations (redds) in two restored reaches of the lower Merced River, California

Salmon spawning locations (redds) were mapped to characterize habitat use along two reaches of the lower Merced River in California's Central Valley and thus support research intended to evaluate the extent to which large-scale restoration projects provided improved salmon spawning habitat. A related goal of this study was to improve our understanding of the geomorphic factors influencing spawning site selection by salmon. Salmon redds were mapped during the fall of 2016 at the Merced River Ranch and Robinson Reach field sites using real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS. The location of the center of each redd  was surveyed in the UTM Zone 10/NAD83 coordinate system, with easting and northing coordinates recorded in units of meters.

Measurements of streambed permeability from two restored reaches of the lower Merced River, California

Field measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity were used to characterize the streambed permeability for two reaches of the lower Merced River in California's Central Valley to support research intended to evaluate the extent to which large-scale restoration projects provided improved salmon spawning habitat. A related goal of this study was to improve our understanding of the geomorphic factors influencing spawning site selection by salmon.  Saturated hydraulic conductivity, denoted by K, was measured with a backpack permeameter and modified Mark VI groundwater standpipe using the constant head method of Terhune [1958]. For each reach, permeameter measurements were collected at ten sites spanning a single pool-riffle transition.

Force gage measurements to characterize bed mobility in two restored reaches of the lower Merced River, California

Force gage measurements were used to parameterize a force balance model for the initation of sediment motion and thus characterize bed mobility for two reaches of the lower Merced River in California's Central Valley.  These data were acquired to support research intended to evaluate the extent to which large-scale restoration projects provided improved salmon spawning habitat. A related goal of this study was to improve our understanding of the geomorphic factors influencing spawning site selection by salmon.  The force gage measurements were made at the Merced River Ranch and Robinson Reach field sites and involved using a spring-resisting force gage to push a given submerged particle in a bed-parallel orientation and recording the minimum force necessary to initiate sediment motion, following the methods of Johnston et al., [1998]. For each particle, we also recorded the grain size class (22, 32, 45, 64, 90 or 128 mm), the length of the a, b and c axes of the sediment grain, and the particle's weight. These values were used to parametrize the force balance model of Wiberg and Smith [1987].

Pebble count-based bed surface sediment grain size distributions from two restored reaches of the lower Merced River, California

Pebble counts were used to characterize the sediment grain size distribution of the bed surface for two reaches of the lower Merced River in California's Central Valley to support research intended to evaluate the extent to which large-scale restoration projects provided improved salmon spawning habitat. A related goal of this study was to improve our understanding of the geomorphic factors influencing spawning site selection by salmon.  The pebble counts were performed at the Merced River Ranch and Robinson Reach field sites using the method of Wolman [1954]. Grain diameters (n&gt;100) were measured using a gravelometer by recording  the largest opening on the gravelometer that an individual particle did NOT pass through, which is similar to recording the percent retained in a standard sieve-based  analysis of a sediment sample. We used pre-restoration pebble count data collected on the Merced River Ranch in 2004 [Stillwater, 2004] and on the Robinson Reach in 2001 [CADWR, 2001]. Additional pebble count data were collected during the winter of 2014 at the Merced River Ranch and summer of 2016 on the Robinson Reach.
