Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) video of the 2018 lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaii

This dataset contains Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) footage from the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea Volcano’s lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), Island of Hawai‘i. The four-month-long eruption, from May 3 to September 5, produced lava flows that destroyed 723 structures, inundated 35.5 km2 of land, and added 3.5 km2 of new land to the Island of Hawai‘i. There are 1178 UAS videos in this publication, recorded from May 27 to September 8, which have been separated into sub-pages by month. Videos taken during each month are separated into zipped files by date (YYYY/MM/DD) and location. Sub-pages for each month also contain a ReadMe text file with information pertaining to the videos, including flight end time, video duration, take off/landing location, visible active and inactive fissures, keywords, and aircraft name. A subset of these videos represents hover videos collected at nadir sites along the fissure 8 lava channel and several other locations for the purpose of measuring flow velocities and other channel monitoring. A document on the landing page describes the locations of these channel monitoring sites and the methodology used for video acquisition and recommendations for processing.

EverForecast hydrologic output for April 2020: a six-month water stage forecast for the Greater Everglades

Operational ecological forecasting is an emerging field that leverages ecological models in a new, cross-disciplinary way, using a real-time or nearly real-time climate forecast to project near-term ecosystem states. These applications give decision-makers lead time to anticipate and manage state changes that degrade ecosystem functions or directly impact humans. The Everglades Forecasting model (EverForecast) is an operational water stage forecast providing 6-month forecasts of daily projected, spatially continuous stage values across the Water Conservation Areas, Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation, and Miccosukee Federal Indian Reservation and Leased Lands. The forecast provided here starts on April 13, 2020 and ends on October 12, 2020. It includes the central tendency from the spatial position analysis and the Monte Carlo simulation outputs and processes to generate these data.

Biogeochemical data from microcosm experiments to evaluate treatment of acid-rock drainage in selected counties in Tennessee

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, conducted an investigation of acid-rock drainage from road cuts in Tennessee during 2014-2015.  The Devonian Chattanooga Shale contains disseminated pyrite and is a primary producer of acid-rock drainage (ARD) in Tennessee.  One objective of the overall investigation was to attenuate ARD by manipulating the indigenous microbial community through different treatment injections.   The scope of the study included establishing flow-through microcosms constructed with shale from the Chattanooga Shale formation rich in pyrite collected from an ARD site in Middle Tennessee.  The microcosms were subjected to various treatments and evaluations included monitoring pH and additional geochemical and microbial constituents in the effluent waters.

Model recalibration results including recalibrated parameters and model performance statistics

This metadata document describes the data file 'model_recalibration_results.csv' for the recalibration of the Sinking Pond hydrologic model. The hydrologic model was recalibrated using the R script ‘annotated_R_script_for_model_recalibration.R’ and the input dataset ‘Daily_values_for_climate_stage_and_model_terms.csv’ in this data release to produce recalibrated values for the four calibrated parameters in the model: KBR, KPR, KBG, and PG (see the ‘Entity and Attribute’ section of this metadata document; for additional information see table 9 in Wolfe and others, 2004). The data file ‘model_recalibration_results.csv’ contains the results from the recalibration process. Each row in the dataset represents a different model, where each model is defined by a unique combination of values for KBR, KPR, KBG, and PG. All possible combinations of KBR (15 parameter values), KPR (13 parameter values), KBG (20 parameter values), and PG (21 parameter values) were run as separate models, to yield a total of 81,900 models (i.e., 81,900 rows in this dataset). Each model produced a time series of modeled pond stage which was compared to observed pond stage on a daily time step across 22 water years to calculate four model performance statistics: (1) root mean-squared error (RMSE), (2) Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), (3) the 25th percentile of NSE values across water years (NSE_p25), and (4) hydroperiod discrepancy (HPD); see the ‘Entity and Attribute’ section of this metadata document for additional information about model performance metrics.

USGS Land Treatment Digital Library Data Release: A centralized archive for land treatment tabular and spatial data (ver. 5.0, July 2022), Treatment Frequency Rasters

Across the country, public land managers make hundreds of decisions each year that influence landscapes and ecosystems within the lands they manage. Many of these decisions involve vegetation manipulations known as land treatments. Land treatments include activities such as removal or alteration of plant biomass, seeding burned areas, and herbicide applications. Data on these land treatments historically have been stored at local offices and gathering information across large spatial areas was difficult. These valuable data needed to be centralized and stored for Federal agencies involved in land treatments because these data are useful to land managers for policy and management and to scientists for developing sampling designs and studies.
In 2008, the Land Treatment Digital Library (LTDL) was created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to catalog information about land treatments on federal lands in the western United States. The flexible framework of the library allows for the storage of a wide variety of data in different formats. The library contains data in text, tabular, spatial, and image formats. Specific examples include project plans and implementation reports, monitoring data, spatial data files from geographic information systems, digitized paper maps, and digital images of land treatments. The data are entered by USGS employees and are accessible through a searchable website. The LTDL can be used to respond to information requests, conduct analyses and other forms of information syntheses, produce maps, and generate reports for federal managers, scientists, and other authorized users.
This data release includes the most up to date data available in the LTDL at the time of release. However, most field offices were last visited to collect their comprehensive treatment data between 2011-2014. Users should be aware that while treatments may exist in some field offices past the date of last collection, it is not a comprehensive representation of land treatments that have occurred on BLM lands during the most recent time span. Offices in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon were revisited in the winter of 2019 and the data collected during those visits are available in this release. Post wildfire emergency stabilization and rehabilitation treatments are included for fires up to 2021.

Digital elevation model for Soldier Meadows, Black Rock Desert - High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area

A digital elevation model represented by a triangulated irregular network (TIN) was developed for proposed channel restoration at Soldier Meadows, Black Rock Desert - High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area, Nevada. The TIN was derived from lidar (light imaging, detection, and ranging) of quality level 1 collected in April 2018 by Quantum Spatial (Quantum Spatial Inc, 2018) for the Bureau of Land Management. The DEM also includes points surveyed in August 13-16, 2019, using a real-time kinematic (RTK) global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The lidar data are not included in this USGS publication due to BLM data-release restrictions for this dataset. Contact Bureau of Land Management, Nevada, Winnemucca District office for more information.

ROV Tracklines from 1999 in the Pulley Ridge area in the Gulf of Mexico

Pulley Ridge is a series of drowned barrier islands that extends almost 200 km in 60-100 m water depths. This drowned ridge is located on the Florida Platform in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico about 250 km west of Cape Sable, Florida. This barrier island chain formed during the initial stage of the Holocene marine transgression. These islands were then submerged and left abandoned near the outer edge of the Florida Platform. The southern portion of Pulley Ridge hosts zooxanthellate scleractinian corals, green, red and brown macro algae, and a mix of deep and typically shallow-water tropical fishes. This reef community is in unusually deep water, and its extent and the controls on its distribution were unknown. To address these questions scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geology Program in cooperation with scientists from the University of South Florida Department of Marine Sciences have completed a detailed mapping of the southernmost 35 km of Pulley Ridge. The area was mapped using multibeam bathymetry, sidescan-sonar imagery, and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiling to define the geologic framework on which the reef is established. Submersible dives, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) transects, and transects of bottom photographs and video were collected to identify the corals and to map their distribution. This extensive suite of data has been compiled and preliminary analysis of the data suggests that the reefs are not tied to the ridge system, but instead are more broadly distributed. Whether reef distribution is controlled by oceanographic conditions or by subtle differences in the substrate that overlies the barrier island system is unclear, and are topics of continued research.
