Ohia Dieback Study - 1977 Ground Survey Plot Locations

This data set provides the locations of the ground-based vegetation plots that have been used to assess the status of the ohia forests on the eastern side of the island of Hawaii following a landscape-level canopy dieback event that occurred in this area in the 1970s. These plots have been resurveyed several times and the results summarized by Boehmer et al. 2013.

Data for and estimates of wet deposition and streamwater solute fluxes at the Panola Mountain Research Watershed, Stockbridge, Ga., water years 1986-2016

This dataset contains the data and results of an analysis estimating wet deposition and streamwater solute fluxes at Panola Mountain Research Watershed (PMRW), Panola Mountain State Park, Stockbridge, Georgia for water years 1986–2016. The PMRW is a small (41 ha), relatively undisturbed, forested headwater catchment in the Piedmont Province of Southeastern United States. This data provides the basis for using a watershed mass-balance approach, in which inputs and outputs of water and solutes are quantified and compared to better understand hydrologic and biogeochemical processes on a watershed scale. The dataset contains 13 datasets consisting of a variety of data series and results, which are summarized herein including their purpose(s): (1) Precipitation amount (1-minute time-step) used to estimate wet deposition, for predicting monthly soil moisture, and as variables in most of the streamwater concentration regression models. (2) Precipitation water quality (mostly weekly composite samples) used to estimate wet deposition. (3) Streamwater stage and flow (5-minute time-step, 1-minute during stormflow) used to estimate streamwater solute fluxes, for predicting monthly soil moisture, and as variables in the streamwater concentration regression models. (4) Stream water quality (discrete weekly and storm samples) used to estimate streamwater solute fluxes using a regression-based approach. (5) 13-year soil moisture time-series from a profile with 3 depths (15, 40, and 70 cm; 5-minute time-step), which represents shallow watershed storage, which was used to classify climatic conditions of some solutes  (separate concentration regression models were developed for each climate category). (6) Data, calibration variables, and predictions for a USGS monthly water-balance program used to model monthly watershed soil moisture when measured soil moisture data was unavailable. (7) Unit-value base flow (as determined from a hydrograph separation using the Eckhardt filter), which was used to calculate the base-flow ratio that was a variable within a few of the streamwater concentration regression models. The hydrograph separation also defined base-flow and stormflow periods used to determine the base-flow and rising limb indicator variables used by most of the concentration models. Estimates of wet deposition for 9 solutes, summarized on (8) daily, (9) monthly, and (10) annual time-steps. Streamwater solute flux estimates for 10 solutes, summarized on (11) daily and (12) annual time-steps. (13)  A dataset of edit code descriptions used by the unit-value precipitation amount, streamwater stage and flow, and soil moisture time-series.

Survey monument positions for the Cleveland Corral landslide near U.S. Highway 50, El Dorado County, California (ver. 2.0, December 2024)

Data in this document record the ground-surface positions from 1996 to 2023 of monuments located on different kinematic elements of the Cleveland Corral landslide, or on nearby more stable ground.  Data were collected about once a year in campaign mode, at times when the landslide was dormant and not moving (typically late spring or fall). Survey timing was selected to identify wet-season movement of the slide, which typically occurs during the winter and spring. Between 1996 and 2000, positional information was collected by surveying pins (with rod and prism) from a total station instrument located across the valley from the landslide. Between June 2000 and March 2004, no surveys were performed. Starting in 2004, positional information for monuments was determined using static differential Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying techniques with a nearby reference site located on stable ground. Details of the GPS surveying and processing techniques are further described in the Data_Quality_Information section of the FGDC Metadata. One file is provided for each of the two periods of measurement. Initial monuments were pins (large nails) and rebar for aerial photo targets located on and off the active slide. These were replaced or supplemented by rebar in 1999 and 2000. When GPS surveying began, new rebar with aluminum-cap monuments were driven into the ground. The number of monuments evolved over the years as some were destroyed or buried by landslide activity and others added.  
This data release includes five files: 1) geographic positions of survey pins/rebar, 1996 - 2000, 2) geographic positions of GPS monuments starting in 2004, 3) image showing the locations of the pins and monuments, 4) the 2004 OPUS solution used to obtain the GPS base-station position, and 5) revision history.

Potential suitable habitat for Inyo rock daisy (Perityle inyoensis) in the California desert

Here we present the map of potential suitable habitat for Inyo rock daisy (Perityle inyoensis). The data indicate both how many models predicted each location to be potentially suitable for the species and the average standardized habitat suitability score for each location.Data are presented at a spatial resolution of 10 m pixels, which was required to harmonize the original model inputs. However, maps of suitable habitat should be used at a resolution no smaller than 360 m (i.e., 36 pixels x 36 pixels), which corresponds with the resolution of the coarsest model input. These data are intended to be used only to target future plant surveys in areas where new occurrences are most likely to benefit future habitat modelling efforts. Complete methods and other additional information are provided in the article associated with this data release (Reese and others, 2019).

Aerial photo mosaic of the Tillamook basin, Oregon in 1967

The Tillamook Bay subbasins and Nehalem River basins encompass 1,369 and 2,207 respective square 
kilometers of northwestern Oregon and drain to the Pacific Ocean. The Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kilchis, 
and Miami Rivers flow into Tillamook Bay near the towns of Tillamook and Garibaldi. The Wilson and Trask 
River basins cover the largest areas (500 and 451 square kilometers, respectively) whereas the Tillamook 
and Kilchis Rivers encompass similar sized areas (156 and 169 square kilometers, respectively) and the 
Miami River the smallest area (94 square kilometers). In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 
the U.S. Geological Survey completed a reconnaissance-level assessment of channel condition and 
bed-material transport relevant to the permitting of in-stream gravel extraction along the the major alluvial 
portions of six river systems, including the lowermost 14.1 km of the Tillamook River, 16.3 km of the Trask 
River, 15.2 km of the Wilson River, 7.8 km of the Kilchis River, 11.6 km of the Miami River, and 31.4 km of 
the Nehalem River. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced to depict channel and 
floodplain conditions in the Tillamook Bay sub-basins and Nehalem River basin from different time periods. 
GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and channel centerline in the study area were 
developed for four time periods: 1939, 1967, 2005, and 2009. For this project, the active channel was 
defined as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and includes the low-flow channel as well as 
side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The wetted channel and bar feature datasets were 
developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, 
and mosaicked for this project (See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification 
process and resolution of each dataset). Digital orthophotographs from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available.

Discrete groundwater and lake depth-to-water check-measurement data, Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, 2017

Ten groundwater piezometers and lake-level stilling wells were deployed in Upper Klamath Lake (UKL), Oregon during May through October 2017. Piezometers and stilling wells were deployed in pairs so that water levels could be measured relative to a common measuring point (MP) at each location. Piezometers were installed in the lakebed sediment, with screens from 3.92 to 4.92 feet below the sediment-water interface (lakebed). Stilling wells were screened open to the lake. Discrete depth-to-water check measurements were collected at all ten locations at about two-week intervals using a calibrated electric water-level tape.
