Model Data Set and Executables Supporting the Journal Publication for "What Makes a First-Magnitude Spring?--Global Uncertainty Analysis of a Speleogenesis Model to Gain Insight into Karst Spring Genesis"

This data set provides the supporting data for the publication "What Makes a First Magnitude Sping?--Global Uncertainty Analysis of a Speleogenesis Model to Gain Insight into Karst Spring Genesis". This publication documents a speleogenesis model that was used to generate karst networks. Morris Method Global Sensitivity Analysis (MM-GSA) is used to efficiently sample input parameters to define a potential karst network. The MM-GSA provides information about sensitivity of hydrologic and transport response metrics (e.g., peak flows, peak timing, mass flux) to evaluated input parameters (e.g. network density, proto-conduit length distribution). There were 390 models in the analysis, therefore one replicate is provided as an example. The data set includes one complete replicate including the input data for the initial protoconduit network that is evolved into a network through the speleogenesis model, the flow model for hydrologic metric evaluation, and the transport model for transport metric evaluation. A table of the parameters that varied in each replicate is provided to so the entire ensemble may be reconstructed. A copy of the model executables is provided. The results for all hydrologic and transport metrics is provided for each replicate.

2004 USACE Post-Ivan Florida Lidar-Derived Dune Crest, Toe and Shoreline

The Storm-Induced Coastal Change Hazards component of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project focuses on understanding the magnitude and variability of extreme storm impacts on sandy beaches. Lidar-derived beach morphologic features such as dune crest, toe and shoreline help define the vulnerability of the beach to storm impacts. This dataset defines the elevation and position of the seaward-most dune crest and toe and the mean high water shoreline derived from the 2004 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Post-Ivan Florida lidar survey. Beach width is included and is defined as the distance between the dune toe and shoreline along a cross-shore profile. The beach slope is calculated using this beach width and the elevation of the shoreline and dune toe.

Grid of streamflow variability index for Ohio

A generalized streamflow-variability index coverage was created by interpolating
a grid (with 6,066-ft^2 cells) from at-site values of the streamflow-variability
index computed for 133 rural, unregulated streamflow-gaging stations in Ohio and
nearby areas of adjacent states. Grid interpolation was done by means of the
interpolate surface routine contained in the Spatial Analyst extension of ArcView.
The inverse distance weighting (IDW) algorithm was used based on the 12 nearest
neighbors.
		
The streamflow-variability index at a streamflow-gaging station is defined as the
standard deviation of the logarithms of the 19 streamflow values at 5-percent
class intervals from 5 to 95 percent on the flow-duration curve (Searcy, 1959) of
daily mean streamflow for the analysis period.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer in east-central Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized aquifer boundaries for the
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer in east-central Oklahoma. The Vamoosa-Ada
aquifer is an important source of water that underlies about
2,320-square miles of parts of Osage, Pawnee, Payne, Creek,
Lincoln, Okfuskee, and Seminole Counties. Approximately 75
percent of the water withdrawn from the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is
for municipal use. Rural domestic use and water for stock
animals account for most of the remaining water withdrawn. The
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is defined in a ground-water report as
consisting principally of the rocks of the Late
Pennsylvanian-age Vamoosa Formation and overlying Ada Group. The
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer consists of a complex sequence of fine- to
very fine-grained sandstone, siltstone, shale, and conglomerate
interbedded with very thin limestones. The water-yielding
capabilities of the aquifer are generally controlled by lateral
and vertical distribution of the sandstone beds and their
physical characteristics. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is unconfined
where it outcrops in about an 1,700-square-mile area.
		
Most of the aquifer boundary lines were extracted from published
digital geology data sets. The lines in the digital geology data
sets were scanned or digitized from maps published at a scale of
1:250,000 and represent geologic contacts. Some of the aquifer
boundary lines were interpolated in areas where the Vamoosa-Ada
aquifer is overlain by alluvial and terrace deposits near streams
and rivers.

Salvinia/weevil case study: Using drones to monitor weevil propagation in Salvinia aquatics (ver. 2.0, August 2023)

During summer months, coastal Louisiana is plagued with floating aquatics that fill and block canals and small waterways causing trouble for boaters.  This floating aquatic starts growing in the spring and dies off in late summer and early winter months.  One natural predator of the Salvinia sp is the weevil that forages on the Salvinia and causes premature die-off.  These weevils do exist naturally in the ecosystem, but this study will introduce the weevil to these salvinia sp aquatics in the early growing season in hopes of reducing the amount and thickness of these salvinia biomass.
Through the use of UAV's (Unmanned aerial vehicles), high resolution imagery will be acquired and classified to monitor the effect the weevils have on the Salvinia sp. Image data will be collected periodically throughout the year for analysis.

Summary of Detection Data for Breeding Common Loons in North-central Minnesota (2021-2022) (ver. 1.1, August 2024)

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused extensive injury to natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico, and Gavia immer (common loon) were negatively affected from the spill. The Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group funded the project Restoration of Common Loons in Minnesota to restore common loons lost to the spill. In 2020–21, study lakes in an eight-county region in north-central Minnesota were identified to focus project activities. In 2021 and 2022, surveys were conducted on these lakes to monitor common loon territory occupancy, nest success, and chick survival. This dataset includes a summary of total number of artificial nesting platforms (ANP), total number of ANP and natural nests, ANP and natural nest success, total number of chicks hatched, and number of chicks that survived to August surveys for 132 territories across 55 lakes within the eight-county study area. We intend to present formal analyses of these and subsequently-collected data after the completion of this multi-year study.

Water and Sediment Geochemistry Data from the Vicinity of Yellow Pine, Idaho, 2014-2015

Samples were collected at or near baseflow conditions.  Water pH and specific conductance were measured in the field, with specific conductance also measured in the laboratory and calculated based on the ionic strength of samples based on laboratory analyses.  Water samples were collected for laboratory analyses using a peristaltic pump with silicon tubing.  Samples were filtered through a reusable plexiglass filter holder with nylon screws using 0.45µm polyethersulfone membranes that were rinsed with approximately 20mL of sample water prior to collection.  Splits were also collected unfiltered to determine trace metal concentrations associated with suspended sediments.  The filtration apparatus was rinsed with deionized water between samples.  Separate filtration apparatuses were used for mining-impacted sites and background sites to minimize sample cross-contamination. Field equipment blanks were collected at the end of a field day using the full sampling apparatus used for mining-impacted sites to determine carryover of constituents between samples. Samples were chilled to approximately 4°C and transported by overnight shipping to USGS analytical laboratories.  Mercury and methylmercury were analyzed in the USGS Mercury Laboratory in Middleton, WI. Note that mercury concentrations in the field blanks exceeded concentrations in sites considered to be background.  Sources of sample contamination may be the filter, which was not pre-cleaned, and the filtration apparatus that was previously used in stream reaches directly impacted by mercury mining.  The detection limit for mercury was less than 0.04 ng/L.  Field blanks had 1.96 and 2.45 ng/L Hg.
Streambed sediment samples were collected as grab samples and stored in pre-cleaned glass jars, frozen on dry ice to minimize microbial activity associated with the formation and degradation of methylmercury.  Sediment samples and shipped to USGS laboratories in Denver, CO for total elemental analysis, including mercury, and to Middleton, WI for methylmercury analysis.  Sediment was dominantly fine to coarse sand trapped between cobbles in a high-energy stream environment.  Samples were sieved to less than 2mm and hand-crushed to homogenize prior to trace metal analysis in Denver.

Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey, western Hualapai Indian Reservation near Grand Canyon West and Peach Springs, Arizona, 2018: Minimally processed AEM and magnetic data

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during March 2018 along 1,637 line line-kilometers over the western Hualapai Indian Reservation and surrounding areas.  The survey was conducted as part of a study of the groundwater resources of the Truxton basin and Hualapai Plateau. The survey was designed to improve the understanding of the geometry of the major hydrostratigraphic contacts of the study area. Data were acquired by SkyTEM ApS with the SkyTEM 312 time-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic system together with a Geometrics G822A cesium vapor magnetometer. The survey was flown at a nominal flight height of 30 meters (m) above terrain along block-style lines with a nominal spacing of 1 kilometer (km) over the Truxton Basin and 4 km over the Hualapai Plateau. Due to terrain complexity, the mean flight height was about 53 m. The AEM depth of investigation varies with subsurface resistivity, typical maximum depth of investigation occurs between 150 and 600 m.
Minimally processed digital data from production flights are provided and described in the data dictionary and contractor's report.  The complete data package received from the contractor is included in separate zip-file directory and described in the contractor's report.
