Delaware Atlantic coast, 2022 - Aerial Imagery

Low altitude (300 meters above ground level (AGL)) digital aerial imagery were acquired on June 11, 2022, from a manned, fixed-wing aircraft using a Sony A7R 36 Megapixel digital camera, along with precise aircraft location Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data. Data were collected in shore-parallel lines, flying at approximately 50 meters per second and capturing true color imagery at 1 Hertz, resulting in image footprints with approximately 75-80% endlap, 60-70% sidelap, and a ground sample distance (GSD) of 5.3 centimeters. The precise time of each image capture (flash event) was recorded, and the corresponding aircraft position was computed in post-processing from the aircraft navigation GNSS data; precise image positions can then be determined by accounting for the lever arm offsets between the aircraft GNSS antenna and the camera lens. Position data, provided as latitude/longitude/ellipsoid height, is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83(2011)).

Lakebed features extracted from single-beam sonar in two Laurentian Great Lakes.

Acoustic seabed classification (ASC) is an important method for understanding landscape-level physical and biological patterns in the aquatic environment. Bottom habitats in the Laurentian Great Lakes are poorly mapped to date, and will require a variety of contributors and data sources to complete. We repurposed a long-term split-beam echosounder dataset gathered for purposes of fisheries assessment to estimate lakebed properties utilizing unsupervised classification of echo return data. We extracted first echo properties and analyzed lakebed hardness and roughness to define and map three statistically supported lakebed classes revealed through cluster analysis. Our results indicate coherent and logical class boundaries, and suggest that the dataset has promise for expanded use in ASC.

Evaluation of DNA yield from various sources for use in single nucleotide polymorphism panels

Genetics studies are used by wildlife managers and researchers to gain inference into a population of a species of interest. To gain these insights, micro-satellites have been the primary method, however, there currently is a shift from micro-satellites to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). With the DNA requirements being different, an investigation into which samples can provide adequate DNA yield is warranted. Using samples that were collected from previous genetic projects from regions in the USA from 2014 to 2021, we investigated the DNA yield of eight sample categories to gain insights into which provided adequate DNA to be used in various panels. We found four sample categories that met the DNA requirements for use in all three panels, three sample categories that only met the DNA requirements for two panels, and one sample category that did not meet any of the three panels requirements. Additionally, we used linear random-effects models to determine which covariates would have the greatest influence on DNA yield. We determined that all covariates, tissue type, storage method, preservative, DNA quality, time until DNA extraction and time after DNA extraction could influence DNA yield.

Recharge temperatures and groundwater-age models for the Paradox Valley alluvial aquifer, 2011, Colorado

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, began hydrogeologic investigations in 2009 in the Paradox Valley in Colorado. In June 2011, nine groundwater samples were collected from selected wells and springs in the study area. The samples were analyzed for a suite of environmental tracers and dissolved gases that were used to model recharge temperatures and groundwater ages. All geochemical and environmental tracer results used in the models are available in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) using USGS station numbers. This data release presents the data and modeling results in four CSV files. The file C14_age_models.csv presents laboratory results for carbon-14 (14C) and carbon-13 (13C) for each sample, the unadjusted 14C ages provided by the laboratory, and groundwater ages estimated the Tamers and Pearson models. The file Tritium_data.csv includes the results of the tritium analysis and the file NobleGas_data.csv includes noble gas concentrations and inputs for the modeling. The file ParadoxTracerModeling.csv contains the model results for noble gas recharge temperatures and Hydrogen-3/Helium-3 groundwater ages.

Unvegetated to vegetated ratio of marsh units in Connecticut salt marshes

This data release contains coastal wetland synthesis products for the state of Connecticut. Metrics for resiliency, including the unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), marsh elevation, tidal range, wave power, and exposure potential to environmental health stressors are calculated for smaller units delineated from a digital elevation model, providing the spatial variability of physical factors that influence wetland health. The U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands with the intent of providing federal, state, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services. This project has been funded in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under assistance agreement DW-014-92531201-1 to N. Ganju.
