Autonomous Flow-Thru (AFT) CO2 data of the West Florida Shelf: USGS Cruise 11BHM01

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a study on the effects of climate change on ocean acidification within the Gulf of Mexico; dealing specifically with the effect of ocean acidification on marine organisms and habitats. To investigate this, the USGS participated in cruises in the West Florida Shelf and northern Gulf of Mexico regions aboard the R/V Weatherbird II, a ship of opportunity lead by Dr. Kendra Daly, of the University of South Florida (USF). This cruise occurred May 03 - 09, 2011, leaving from and returned to Saint Petersburg, Florida. The USGS collected data pertaining to pH, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and total alkalinity in discrete samples. Thirty-four underway discrete samples were collected approximately hourly over a span of 1632 kilometer (km) track line, additionally 44 discrete samples were taken at four stations, these were taken at various depths. Flow-through conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data were collected, which includes temperature, salinity, and pH. Corroborating the USGS data are the vertical CTD profiles collected by USF, using the following sensors: CTD, oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, optical backscatter, and transmissometer. Additionally, discrete depth samples for nutrients, chlorophyll, and particulate organic carbon/nitrogen were collected.

Geospatial data to assess karst aquifer systems between Albany and Buffalo, New York (ver. 4.0, January 2024)

Using publicly available data for Seneca and Wayne counties, New York, a series of geospatial overlays were created at 1:24,000 scale to examine the bedrock geology, groundwater table, soils, and surficial geology. Bedrock and surficial geology were refined using extant bedrock maps, well and borehole data from water- and gas-wells, soil data, and lidar data. Groundwater data were collected from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Geological Survey water-well databases to estimate the groundwater table. Soil data were used to examine soil thickness over bedrock and infiltration. 
An inventory of closed depressions was created using reconditioned lidar-derived bare-earth digital elevation models (DEMs) and a modeled stream network. Closed depressions were identified from the processed DEMs using threshold criteria of 10 and 30 centimeters (3.9 and 11.8 inches) for depth and 100 square meters (1076 square feet) for area. A combination of hydrologic, mining, and cultural features was used to eliminate false positives and filter out features that overlie existing waterbodies, streams, and mines and to remove artificial dams along roadways and railways. 
This data release includes shapefiles containing the well data information including location, well depth, depth to bedrock, and groundwater depth; bedrock geology; surficial geology; interpolated bedrock surface contours; interpolated groundwater surface contours; soil saturated hydraulic conductivity; soil classes; and modeled closed depressions of 10 cm and 30 cm depth thresholds. This release also contains rasters of the interpolated bedrock surface, interpolated groundwater surface and land use.

Reductive dechlorination rate data for 4,4'-DDE in sediments of the Palos Verdes Shelf, CA (1981-2010)

Wastes from the world’s largest manufacturer of DDT were released into the Los Angeles County municipal sewer system from 1947 to 1971.  Following primary treatment, the effluent was discharged from a submarine outfall system whereupon a portion of the DDT and associated degradation products were deposited in sediments of the Palos Verdes Shelf (PVS).  Parent DDT is present only in trace amounts in the sediments today, the vast majority having been transformed to DDE shortly following deposition.  Previously believed to be inert, DDE is slowly being converted to DDMU and DDMU to DDNU via microbially-mediated reductive dechlorination (RDC).  Kinetic and compositional data suggest that this process began sometime in the mid- to late 1970s.  Rates of DDE RDC in shelf sediments are spatially variable and have proven difficult to determine accurately.  This limits our ability to understand the factors controlling RDC rates and to predict the course of natural recovery.  In the present study, concentrations of ten DDT compounds and twelve PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) congeners were determined in cores collected at two locations on the PVS (stations 3C, 6C, ~7 km and ~2 km downcurrent from the outfalls, respectively).  DDE inventories, normalized to those of non-degrading PCB congeners having similar physico-chemical properties, were modeled to yield first-order RDC rates for the period 1981-2010.  Average rates at the two sites were 0.044 ± 0.004 (3C) and 0.008 ± 0.002 yr-1 (6C), respectively, with depth-dependent RDC rates at station 3C (1992-2003) ranging from 0.0025 to 0.102 yr-1.  Comparison of RDC and total loss (i.e., RDC + physical loss) rates suggests that the average per cent loss of DDE due to RDC is ~90% at station 3C (1981-2010) and ~57% at station 6C (1992-2010).  Trajectories of adjusted molar inventories of DDE, DDMU, and DDNU were forecast using a first-order multi-step reaction series model.  The results for DDE are consistent with the normalization procedure, RDC rates at stations 3C and 6C were 0.036 ± 0.002 yr-1 and 0.010 ± 0.001 yr-1, respectively.  At station 6C, the DDE to DDMU transformation appears to be the rate limiting step in the reaction sequence, DDE (k_1 ) ⃗ DDMU (k_2 ) ⃗ DDNU (k_3 ) ⃗ unidentified compound(s), whereas at station 3C RDC rates for DDE and DDMU are roughly equivalent.  At both locations the transformation rate of DDNU is 7-20 times that of the other steps.  Estimated half-lives of DDE at stations 3C and 6C based on the M-SRS model results are ~19 and 72 years, respectively.

16S rRNA gene sequencing and E. coli for shorelines and the Grand Calumet River, Indiana, 2015, (version 2.0, July 2019)

Data were collected in August and September 2015 for analysis of bacteria communities of the Grand Calumet River and associated shorelines.  Water samples were collected on three occasions corresponding to one rain-related (wet) events and two non-rain (dry) events.  Water samples were collected in the Grand Calumet River, at the mouth of the river, at offshore locations around the peninsular impoundment and at shoreline locations: Jeorse Park (East Chicago, Indiana), Whihala (Whiting, Indiana), and 63rd Street (Chicago, Illinois) beaches.  Samples were collected in triplicate, and water was filtered at the USGS Lake Michigan Ecological Research Station.  After DNA extraction, samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing using Illumina sequencing. Taxonomic identification was assigned for communities in each sample, at multiple taxonomic levels (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus).  Water was also analyzed for E. coli bacteria and turbidity, at the USGS laboratory. Hydrological conditions corresponding to the days of sample collection were obtained from publicly available USGS information (NWIS-National Water Information System). 
The coordinate file includes information regarding sampling locations and their corresponding latitude and longitudes. The Data file include E. coli densities, laboratory turbidity measurements, and NWIS hydrological data.
