Geothermal resource favorability: select features and predictions for the western United States curated for DOI 10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102662

The data contained herein are five input features (i.e., heat flow, distance to the nearest quaternary fault, distance to the nearest quaternary magma body, seismic event density, maximum horizontal stress) and labels (i.e., where known geothermal systems have been identified) from Williams and DeAngelo (2008) and nine favorability maps from Mordensky et al. (2023). The favorability maps are the untransformed predictions from models resulting from the features and labels used with either the methods presented in Williams and DeAngelo (2008) or the machine learning approaches presented in Mordensky et al. (2023). Each favorability map depicts an estimate of relative favorability with respect to the other locations (i.e., cells), allowing for a comparison of the influence the different methods and machine learning approaches produced when predicting geothermal favorability. The machine learning approaches sought to minimize the influence of expert bias imparted by the methods from Williams and DeAngelo (2008). The favorability maps presented from the models that used the methods from Williams and DeAngelo (2008) are provided for comparative purposes.

Green turtle genetics in the Gulf of Mexico, 2006-2019

Mitochondrial DNA markers have elucidated patterns of connectivity between green turtle nesting populations (rookeries) and juveniles foraging in neritic nursery habitats. However, missing rookery baseline data and haplotype sharing among populations have often impeded inferences, including ascertaining origins of Gulf of Mexico juveniles. We sequenced the mitochondrial control region and additional informative mitogenomic single nucleotide polymorphisms of juveniles foraging in Port Fourchon, Louisiana (LA, n = 127) and Santa Rosa Island, Florida (SRI, n = 47). We collected additional genetic data for previously characterized neritic aggregations in southern Texas (TX, n = 167), St. Joseph Bay, Florida (SJB, n = 174) and southwestern Florida (SWFL, n = 96). We assessed genetic structure among these sites, incorporating published data from a surface-pelagic (SP) aggregation offshore of Louisiana through Florida and a neritic aggregation from the Big Bend region of Florida (BB). We estimated source contributions to aggregations with new genetic data using a Bayesian many-to-one mixed stock analysis (MSA) approach. 
This data set contains passive induced transponder (PIT) tag number, sampling site information, capture date, control region (CR) haplotype, mitochondrial short tandem repeat (mtSTR) haplotype, and mitogenetic haplotype for each turtle.

Digital Surface Models (DSMs) of the Whale's Tail Marsh region, South San Francisco Bay, CA

This portion of the data release presents digital surface models (DSM) of the Whale's Tail Marsh region of South San Francisco Bay, CA. The DSMs have resolutions of 5 centimeters per pixel and were derived from structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of repeat aerial imagery collected from fixed-wing aircraft. Unlike a digital elevation model (DEM), a DSM represents the elevation of the highest object within the bounds of a cell. Vegetation, structures, and other objects have not been removed from the data. The raw imagery used to create these elevation models was acquired from an approximate altitude of 427 meters (1,400 feet) above ground level (AGL), using a Hasselblad A6D-100c camera fitted with an HC 80 lens, resulting in a nominal ground-sample-distance (GSD) of 2.5 centimeters per pixel. The acquisition flight lines were designed to provide approximately 50 percent overlap between adjacent flight lines (sidelap), with approximately 70 percent overlap between sequential images along the flight line (forelap). Survey control was established using an onboard camera-synchronized dual-frequency GPS system as well as ground control points (GCPs) distributed throughout the survey area and measured using survey-grade post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS. Both the data from the onboard GPS and from the GPS used to measure the GCPs were post-processed using a nearby Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) station operated by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). Structure-from-motion processing of these data was conducted using a "4D" processing workflow in which imagery from each of the different acquisition dates were co-aligned in order to increase relative spatial precision between the final data products. The resulting DSMs have been formatted as cloud optimized GeoTIFFs with internal overviews and masks to facilitate cloud-based queries and display.

National Park Service Thematic Burn Severity Mosaic for CONUS in 1984

The National Park Service (NPS) requests burn severity assessments through an agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to be completed by analysts with the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) Program. The MTBS Program assesses the frequency, extent, and magnitude (size and severity) of all large wildland fires (wildfires and prescribed fires) in the conterminous United States (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico for the period 1984 and beyond. All fires reported as greater than 1,000 acres in the western U.S. and greater than 500 acres in the eastern U.S. are mapped across all ownerships. MTBS produces a series of geospatial and tabular data for analysis at a range of spatial, temporal, and thematic scales and are intended to meet a variety of information needs that require consistent data about fire effects through space and time. This map layer is a thematic raster image of burn severity classes for all NPS-requested burn severity fires, occurring in CONUS during calendar year 1984. Fires omitted from this mapped inventory are those where suitable satellite imagery was not available, or fires which were not discernable from available imagery.

Hydrological and chemical records from the flooded Ox Bel Ha cave system in the Yucatan Peninsula, Quintana Roo, from August 2014 to January 2015

Natural cave passages penetrating coastal aquifers in the Yucatan Peninsula (Quintana Roo, Mexico) were accessed to investigate how regional meteorology and hydrology control dissolved organic carbon and methane dynamics in karst subterranean estuaries, the region of aquifers where fresh and saline waters mix. Three field trips were carried out in December 2013, August 2014, and January 2015 to obtain 1) physicochemical and 2) geochemical data from the water column and 3) temporal records of water chemistry and hydrological parameters below and above the surface at three sites within the Ox Bel Ha cave (Cenote Jailhouse, Cenote Naach Wennen Ha, and Cenote Odyssey) and another cave (Cenote Crustacea). These efforts resulted in vertical physicochemical and geochemical profiles from the water column of the flooded caves from the region. In addition, the sampling resulted in temporal chemical and hydrological records of dissolved methane concentrations and chloride concentrations (used to calculate salinity) from August 2014 to January 2015, sampled by OsmoSamplers. The records encompass wet and dry seasons and include the impact of Tropical Storm Hanna during October 2014. 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.

Surveys and monitoring of coastal cactus wren in southern San Diego County, 2019

Data presented are results of surveys and monitoring in 2019 for San Diego Cactus Wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus) in southern San Diego County. Surveys were conducted at 493 plots. Plots were surveyed twice in 2019 and the number, age (adult or juvenile), banding status (color banded or not), breeding status (paired, unpaired, or unknown), and nesting status (active nest detected or not) of all wrens recorded. Habitat covariate data were collected including amount of dead and stressed cactus in the plot, percent cover of bare ground, and the dominant and percent cover of invasive species. During weekly monitoring visits, nests were located and checked to determine the number of eggs laid, the number of eggs that hatched, and the number of chicks that fledged. Nesting data were compiled to present seasonal productivity for each Cactus Wren pair. All nestlings and adults (when possible) were color banded with unique color combinations to identify individuals on subsequent visits to provide data on survival within and between years. During banding, data were collected on age, sex, weight, and reproductive status. Fecal samples and genetic samples (pin feathers) were collected from nestlings when possible. In each territory where vegetation data were collected in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, a 75 x 75 m grid of 30 points was placed to include as many nests as possible. At each point, data were collected within a 2 m radius circle including presence or absence of native bunch grasses, non-native annual grasses, cactus, elderberry (Sambucus nigra), lemonadeberry (Rhus integrifolia), sagebrush (Artemisia californica), buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), black mustard (Brassica nigra), and bare ground. These presence/absence data were summarized to present the percent cover of each species or ground cover representing habitat at the Cactus Wren territory.
