Modeled conterminous United States Crop Cover datasets for 2000 - 2013

Crop cover maps have become widely used in a range of research applications. Multiple crop cover maps have been developed to suite particular research interests. The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Cropland Data Layers (CDL) are a series of commonly used crop cover maps for the conterminous United States (CONUS) that span from 2008-2013. In this investigation we wanted to expand the temporal coverage of the NASS CDL archive back to 2000 by creating yearly NASS CDL-like crop cover maps derived from a classification tree model algorithm. We used over 11 million crop sample records to train a classification tree algorithm and to develop a crop classification model (CCM). The model was used to create crop cover maps for the CONUS for years 2000-2013 at 250 meter spatial resolution. The CCM and the maps for years 2008-2013 were assessed for accuracy relative to downscaled NASS CDLs to 250 meter. The CCM performed well against a withheld test dataset with a prediction accuracy of over 90 percent. The assessment of the crop cover maps indicated that the model performed well spatially, placing crop cover pixels within their known domains. However, the model did show a bias toward the “Other” crop cover class which caused frequent misclassifications of pixels around the periphery of large crop cover patches and of pixels that form small, sparsely dispersed crop cover patches.

Lower Rio Puerco 1996 georeferenced NAPP photo segments

1996 georeferenced aerial photographs cover the lower Rio Puerco from the confluence with the Rio San Jose 70 km down-valley to the confluence with the Rio Grande. The images were obtained from enlargements of 1:40,000 scale National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) photographs printed from negatives at a scale of 1:5,000, then scanned at 600 dpi. Pixel size of the raster images is about 0.22 m, compared to the DOQQs, which have 1-m pixel size. The segments were registered and rectified in ArcINFO using common points from USGS DOQQs published in 1999, which were derived from the same 1996 NAPP photo set, with terrain corrections from a 1-degree DEM applied. Registration points were typically center of mass of small (&lt;4 m diameter canopy) shrubs. Geomorphic parameters derived from mapping from these images were presented in the following publications:

Wheat Corn Soy Estimates Red River of the North Basin

These data describe the percent of cropland harvested as wheat, corn, and soybean within each basin (basins 1-8, see accompanying shapefiles). Data are available for other crops; however, these three were chosen because wheat is a traditional crop that has been grown for a long time in the Basin and corn and soybeans have increased in recent times because of wetter conditions, the demand for biofuels, and advances in breeding short-season, drought-tolerant crops. The data come from the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Census of Agriculture (COA) and have estimates for 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, and 2012.  Years with missing data were estimated estimated using multivariate imputation of missing values with principal components analysis (PCA) via the function imputePCA in the R (R Core Team, 2015) package missMDA (Husson and Josse, 2015). In the interest of dimension reduction, the scores of the first principal component of principal component analysis, by basin, of the wheat,  corn, and soy variables is included.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Total Phosphorus Flux Load Estimates Red River of the North Basin

The dataset contains estimates for total phosphorus flux from wastewater treatment plants that discharge to surface water within the Red River of the North Basin in the United States and subbasins.  Shapefiles defining the subbasins are available as part of the same data release in which these data are published.  Estimates of wastewater treatment plant total phosphorus flux (or load) were calculated by Tammy Ivanhnenko for the years 1978, 1980, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012.  Flux estimates were based on the average discharge from the wastewater treatment plants and treatment level, both reported as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Watershed Needs Survey, https://www.epa.gov/cwns. The treatment level concentrations used for total phosphorus are based on data from a 2000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report (table 2-17; Tetra Tech, Inc. and Andrew Stoddard &amp; Associates, 2000).

Cumulative Compaction of Subsurface Sediments (2015) in Thirteen Extensometers in the Chicot and Evangeline Aquifers in the Houston-Galveston Region, Texas.

The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Harris‐Galveston Subsidence District, City of Houston, Fort Bend Subsidence District, and Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District has produced this dataset of compaction values in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston‐Galveston region, Texas.  
This dataset shows compaction values of subsurface sediments (mostly in the fine-grained silt and clay layers because little compaction occurs in sand layers) in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers that were recorded continuously by using analog technology at the 13 extensometers at 11 sites that were either activated or installed between 1973 and 1980. The cumulative compaction data for each extensometer are collected about 13 times per year during site visits. The amount of cumulative compaction for each site visit is determined by subtracting the previously recorded compaction value from the ending compaction value.

The study reach extends from the confluence with the Rio San Jose 67 km downvalley to the old Highway 85 bridge near the USGS streamgage near Bernardo, NM. Individual shapefiles were created for data from each survey. Associated metadata files include the names of surveyors and equipment used.

Water level data during pumping for stressed HPFM measurements for selected boreholes near GMH Electronics Superfund site, Roxboro, NC (2012-2015)

The collection of borehole geophysical logs and images and continuous water-level data was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey South Atlantic Water Science Center in the vicinity of the GMH Electronics Superfund site near Roxboro, North Carolina, during December 2012 through July 2015. The study purpose was part of a continued effort to assist the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the development of a conceptual groundwater model for the assessment of current contaminant distribution and future migration of contaminants. Previous work by the U.S. Geological Survey South Atlantic Water Science Center at the site involved similar data collection, in addition to surface geologic mapping and passive diffusion bag sampling within monitoring wells (Chapman and others, 2013). The continued data compilation efforts included the delineation of more than 900 subsurface features (primarily fracture orientations) in 10 open borehole wells. Geophysical logs, borehole imagery, pumping data, and heat-pulse flow measurements were collected and are presented within this data release. 
The data on this page consists of .csv and .xlsx files with water-level information collected from a pressure transducer within the borehole during pumping conditions for the "stressed" heat-pulse flow measurements. The water-levels were used for drawdown calculations.
