Digital Data for the Geology of the Mineral and Lake Anna West quadrangles, Virginia

This Data Release contains 1:24,000-scale geospatially-enabled geological data to accompany the Geology of the Mineral and Lake Anna West quadrangles, Virginia. The map product is a cooperator series publication and, as such, does not have a specific abstract. Geologic mapping for this map product was completed between 2014 and 2017, with most of the field work occurring between January 2016 and May 2017. Numerous foot traverses were completed along creeks and roads throughout the field area; the shore of Lake Anna was accessed by kayak to provide additional data. Distributions of soil units were considered when assigning bedrock type in areas where outcrop was lacking and helped to distinguish fluvial terrace deposits. Hill-shade raster images created from LiDAR datasets and geophysical data sets proved useful in the field to trace bedrock and surficial units. GPS location control and field data were collected and recorded in digital databases using a variety of geologic mapping applications for an iPad 3rd Gen Model A1403 and Motion C5v tablet using Fieldmove 2013.1. Structural measurements were also plotted on field maps. Data collected included lithology and the orientation of foliations, folds, lineations, joints, and faults. Representative rock samples of significant formations were thin-sectioned for petrographic analysis; a few samples from these and surrounding quadrangles were analyzed for zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry.

Maui Island, Hawaiian hoary bat behavior at wind turbines, 2018

The Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), a federally and state listed endangered subspecies, is the only extant native terrestrial mammal in the Hawaiian archipelago. It is an insectivorous, solitary and foliage-roosting species that generally roosts alone or in mother-pup family groups.   
This data release consists of three tabular datasets comprising acoustic and thermal video data of Hawaiian hoary bat behavior at wind turbines.  One dataset consists of the acoustic and video detections of bats tabulated by night and turbine, and associated weather and turbine operational data used in analyses.  The other two datasets consist of the individual detections, catalogued separately for the acoustic and video data sources.

Insect Count Data, Keaukaha Military Reservation (KMR) Hawaii Island, 2018

Hawaiian hoary bat insect prey sampling with paired acoustic monitoring was conducted at Keaukaha Military Reservation (KMR) on Hawaii Island from May to August, 2018. At this property, a herd of domestic goats (occasionally mixed with domestic sheep) were rotated among grazing plots as part of a weed control program managed by Hawaii Army National Guard (HIARNG). We sampled insect abundance and community within the area where goats were used for weed control to better understand if grazing ungulates attract and support potential prey for insectivorous Hawaiian hoary bats.

Hawaii Army National Guard (HIARNG) Hawaiian Hoary Bat Acoustic Long Term Data 2012-2018

Acoustic sampling for occurrence of the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus) was conducted at 18 “long-term” acoustic monitoring stations on 12 Hawaii Army National Guard (HIARNG) installations across the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Oahu, and Kauai between 2012 and 2018. Bats were confirmed as present at 10 of these installations: Kealakekua Armory, Keaukaha Military Reservation (KMR), Hanapepe Armory, Kekaha Firing Range (KFR), Puunene Training Facility, Ukumehame Firing Range (UFR), Kaunakakai Armory, Bellows Regional Training Institute, Kalaeloa, Barber’s Point, and the 487th Military Parking Facility, Wahiawā. Our acoustic sampling did not record bat vocalizations at Fort Ruger and Waiawa Armory. Foraging activity was observed at nine acoustic monitoring stations on the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Oahu, and Maui. No foraging activity was observed on Molokai and a single station on Oahu recorded one feeding buzz in September, 2017 at Kalaeloa, Barber’s Point.

Hawaiian Hoary Bat Acoustic Data, Keaukaha Military Reservation (KMR) Hawaii Island, 2018

Hawaiian hoary bat insect prey sampling with paired acoustic monitoring was conducted at Keaukaha Military Reservation (KMR) on Hawai‘i Island from May to August, 2018. At this property, a herd of domestic goats (occasionally mixed with domestic sheep) were rotated among grazing plots as part of a weed control program managed by Hawaii Army National Guard (HIARNG). Song Meter SM2BAT+ ultrasonic detectors (Wildlife Acoustics, Maynard, MA) with SMX-US ultrasonic microphones (Wildlife Acoustics, Maynard, MA) were deployed at a total of six stations, five monitoring stations (4E, 5F-I) and an additional reference station was established in an ungrazed area with similar non-native grassland habitat approximately 800-m east of the grazing plots. Upon detection of a vocalizing bat, recording was triggered, and a call file was stored with the corresponding date and time. Recordings were analyzed with Kaleidoscope Pro version 5.1.9 (Wildlife Acoustics, Maynard, MA). All files were aurally and visually inspected for bat acoustic activity. At each acoustic monitoring station Hawaiian hoary bat echolocation pulses, call-events and feeding buzzes were summed across sampling nights within each week.

Digital Surface Model of Mt. Etna, Italy, derived from  2015 Pleiades Satellite Imagery

A high-resolution, high vertical accuracy Digital Surface Model (DSM) of Mt. Etna was derived from Pleiades satellite data using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP) tool set (https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/tech/asr/groups/intelligent-robotics/ngt/stereo/). The NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP) is a suite of free and open source automated geodesy and stereogrammetry tools designed for processing stereo imagery captured from satellites (around Earth and other planets), robotic rovers, aerial cameras, and historical imagery, with and without accurate camera pose information. The methodology used by the ASP software is similar with structure-from-motion (SfM) methodology using stereo triangulation combining spacecraft ephemeris/attitude information, sensor model, and disparity map information obtained by feature matching procedures. 
The model covers an area of about 400 km2 with a spatial resolution of 2 m and centers on the summit portion of the volcano. The model was validated by using a set of reference ground control points (GCP) obtaining a vertical root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.78 m. The horizontal accuracy is 1 cell (2 m) and the vertical resolution is centimeters. The described procedure provides an avenue to obtain DSMs at high spatial resolution and elevation accuracy in a relatively short processing time making the procedure itself suitable to reproduce topographies often indispensable during the emergency management case of volcanic eruptions.

DCHC--meterology and ET

This tabular dataset includes measurements of net radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and calculated reference evapotranspiration (ET0) for a bioretention garden in Douglas County, Nebraska.To determine the amount of water that was lost to the atmosphere, evapotranspiration (ET) was calculated at the Douglas County Health Center (DCHC) bioretention garden by scaling the reference evapotranspiration (ET0) by a landscape coefficient. Measurements of net radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed were used to calculate daily ET0 using the Penman-Monteith equation (Monteith and Unsworth, 1990; Allen and others, 1998). Reference evapotranspiration represents ET, in inches, over a well-watered grass of uniform height that completely shades the ground (Allen and others, 1998). To adjust the ET0 to represent the actual ET of the bioretention gardens, a weighted landscape coefficient (KL) was used (Costello and others, 2000).

Laboratory exposure of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch) and rainbow trout (O. mykiss) to a Pacific Canadian strain of piscine orthoreovirus genotype one (PRV-1)

Piscine orthoreovirus genotype one (PRV-1) is the causative agent of heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). The virus has also been found in Pacific salmonids in western North America, raising concerns about the risk to native salmon and trout. Here, we report the results of laboratory challenges using juvenile Chinook salmon, coho salmon, and rainbow trout injected with tissue homogenates from Atlantic salmon testing positive for PRV-1 or with control material. Fish were sampled at intervals to assess viral RNA transcript levels, hematocrit, erythrocytic inclusions, and histopathology. While PRV-1 replicated to high loads in all species, there was negligible mortality in any group. We observed a few erythrocytic inclusion bodies in fish from PRV-1 infected groups. At a few time points, hematocrits were significantly lower in the PRV-1 infected groups relative to controls but in no case was anemia noted. The most common histopathological finding was mild, focal myocarditis in both the non-infected controls and PRV-1 infected fish. All cardiac lesions were judged mild and none were consistent with those of HSMI. Together, these results suggest all three species are relatively susceptible to PRV-1 infection, but in no case did infection cause notable disease in these experiments.

Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus content of adult emergent Diptera before and after a fire-storm sequence in the Colorado River near Shinumo Creek, Grand Canyon, AZ

This dataset includes total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and total carbon (TC) concentrations as well as δ15N and δ13C composition, and overall C:N:P stoichiometry for adult emergent Diptera from the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, AZ. The samples were collected before and after a fire and subsequent storm occurred in the Shinumo Watershed, a tributary to the Colorado River in Northern Arizona. Diptera specimens were collected via light traps placed on the banks of the Colorado River 25 miles above and 25 miles below Shinumo Creek (river miles 85-135) between 2013 and 2015. This data series contains Diptera TP concentrations (in mg P per mg Diptera) for 44 samples from 11 location/date combinations. We also report TN and TC concentrations (in mg TN or TC per mg Diptera) and δ15N and δ13C for 9 single samples. Average TC, TN, and TP concentrations were then compared for 8 date/location combinations to estimate C:N:P stoichiometry of Diptera samples.

Carbon assessment of Taxodium distichum knees in Mississippi River Alluvial Valley (2004)

Estimates of the biomass of the knees of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum), and oddly shaped, difficult to quantify vegetation components, can be critical to improve estimates of carbon stock in blue carbon assessments. To this end, tree metrics (e.g., density, height, biomass) were examined in 2004 at mixed baldcypress swamps across the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley (MRAV) from Illinois to Louisiana. Biomass of knees was estimated using the point-centered quarter method and volume/mass regressions calculated from measurements of knee height and diameter of the base of knees.

High-resolution digital elevation model of Mount St. Helens and upper North Fork Toutle River basin, based on airborne lidar surveys of July-September, 2017

The lateral blast, debris avalanche, and lahars of the May 18th, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, dramatically altered the surrounding landscape. Lava domes were extruded during the subsequent eruptive periods of 1980-1986 and 2004-2008. During 2017, U.S. Forest Service contracted the acquisitions of airborne lidar surveys of Mount St. Helens and upper North Fork Toutle River basin, part of a larger 2017-2018 survey of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The U.S. Geological Survey combined and reprojected 81 raster datasets, provided by the U.S. Forest Service in October 2018, into a single digital elevation model (DEM) of the ground surface, including beneath forest cover (that is, 'bare earth'). This USGS data release contains digital elevation data as a 1-meter resolution raster dataset (.tif file). This DEM can support a variety of earth science investigations.

Longitudinal Hydrophone Profile Data on the Upper Colorado River, Colorado, June 6 to 8, 2019

In 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Upper Colorado River Wild and Scenic Stakeholder Group, studied the magnitude and recurrence interval of streamflow needed to initiate bed movement of gravel-sized and finer sediment in a segment of the Colorado River in Colorado to better understand sediment movement and its relation to flow regimes of the river. Bed movement occurred more frequently and at lower streamflows from State Bridge to Catamount Bridge compared to the study area upstream from State Bridge. Two longitudinal hydrophone profiles were carried out at different streamflows to collect underwater acoustic data using hydrophones throughout the study area on June 6-8, 2019 (June 6-8 longitudinal profile) and June 18-19, 2019. The June 6-8 longitudinal profile began at the Pumphouse Recreation Area and ended at the Dotsero boat launch located at Dotsero, Colo. For the June 6-8 longitudinal profile, one of the mobile hydrophone systems, consisting of two H2a-XLR hydrophones (Aquarian Audio, 2013) and a recording system, was attached to a 16-foot Hyside inflatable raft and mounted about 1 foot below the water line (one on the port side of the raft and the second on the starboard side of the raft). A second mobile hydrophone system, consisting of one H2a-XLR hydrophone (Aquarian Audio, 2013) and a recording system, was attached to a 16-foot Down River Equipment inflatable cataraft and mounted about 1 foot below the water line on the stern of the raft.

Implementation of a Surface Water Extent Model using Cloud-Based Remote Sensing - Code and Maps

This data release comprises the raster data files and code necessary to perform all analyses presented in the associated publication. 
The 16 TIF raster data files are classified surface water maps created using the Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWE) model implemented in Google Earth Engine using published technical documents. The 16 tiles cover the country of Cambodia, a flood-prone country in Southeast  Asia lacking a comprehensive stream gauging network. Each file includes 372 bands. Bands represent surface water for each month from 1988 to 2018, and are stacked from oldest (Band 1 - January 1988) to newest (Band 372 - December 2018). DSWE classifies pixels unobscured by cloud, cloud shadow, or snow into five categories of ground surface inundation; in addition to not-water (class 0) and water (class 1), the DSWE algorithm distinguishes pixels that are less distinctly inundated (class 2: “moderate confidence”), comprise a mixture of vegetation and water (class 3: “potential wetland”), or are of marginal validity (class 4: “water or wetland - low confidence”). Class 9 is applied to classify clouds, shadows and hill shade.
Two additional documents accompany the raster image files and XML metadata. The first provides a key representing the general location of each raster file. The second file includes all Google Earth Engine Javascript code, which can be used online (https://code.earthengine.google.com/) to replicate the monthly DSWE map time series for Cambodia, or for any other location on Earth. The code block includes comments to explain how each step works.
These data support the following publication:
