USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project–Resource Allocations for the BLM Carlsbad Planning Area

The U.S. Geological Survey Central Energy Science Center (CERSC) was asked to provide allocations of oil and gas resources and numbers of potential wells calculated from these allocated resources for the BLM Carlsbad Planning Area in New Mexico. The resource allocations were based on the most current USGS assessment of continuous (unconventional) oil and gas resources within eleven geologically defined assessment units in the Delaware Basin (Gaswirth and others, 2018).

Summary Metadata for Preliminary reconnaissance inventory map data of landslides and related features, South Manitou Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan

Pluvials can have dramatic impacts on the shoreline bluffs of Lake Michigan due to increases in both shallow subsurface moisture conditions related to the prolonged wet weather pattern and wave erosion as the lake level rises. These changes can result in an increased frequency and magnitude of slope failures. During the most recent pluvial, the monthly average level of Lake Michigan rose 1.9 m from a record low in January 2013 to a near record high in June-July 2020. To assess the impacts on coastal bluffs from slope failures during the recent pluvial, an inventory of landslides was completed, including slope failures active during the early part of the pluvial, on the coastal bluffs of South Manitou Island, part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan. Landslides were mapped using high-resolution orthoimagery, collected in April 2012, and high-resolution topography derived from two LiDAR data sets, the first collected in December 2014 and the second collected between November 2015 and March 2016.
This data release presents geographic information system (GIS) data, provided as line and polygon shapefiles (.shp), depicting landslides and related landforms and features. Polygon map data delineates the areas of deposits, source areas, and related landforms (such as alluvial fans and colluvial aprons). Scarps (such as headscarps and minor scarps) are presented as hachured line data. An attribute file is included providing a definition of the mapped units and a brief description of the approach used in the mapping.

Database for the Geologic Map and Structure Sections of the Clear Lake Volcanics, Northern California

This geologic map database is a reproduction of U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Investigations Map I–2362: “Geologic Map and Structure Sections of the Clear Lake Volcanics, Northern California” (Hearn, Donnelly-Nolan, and Goff, 1995). The database consists of a geologic map, three structural cross sections and a table of petrographic data for each map unit by mineral type, abundance, and size.
The Clear Lake Volcanics are in the California Coast Ranges about 150 km north of San Francisco. This Quaternary volcanic field has erupted intermittently since 2.1 million years ago. This volcanic field is considered a high-threat volcanic system (Ewert and others, 2005). The adjacent Geysers geothermal field, the largest power-producing geothermal field in the world, is powered by the magmatic heat source for the volcanic field. The geology of parts of the area underlain by the Cache Formation is based on mapping by Rymer (1981); the geology of parts of the areas underlain by the Sonoma Volcanics, Franciscan assemblage, and Great Valley sequence is based on mapping by McLaughlin (1978). Volcanic compositional map units are basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, dacite, rhyodacite, and rhyolite, based on SiO2 content. 
Most ages are potassium-argon (K/Ar) ages determined for whole-rock samples and mineral separates by Donnelly-Nolan and others (1981), unless otherwise noted. A few ages are carbon-14 ages or were estimated from geologic relationships. Magnetic polarities are from Mankinen and others (1978; 1981) or were determined in the field by B.C. Hearn, Jr., using a portable fluxgate magnetometer. Thickness for most units is estimated from topographic relief except where drill-hole data were available.
This database does not reproduce all elements of the original publication. Omissions include the chart and figures showing erupted volumes of different lava types through time, and the chart and diagram for the correlation of map units. 
Users of this database are highly encouraged to cross reference this database with the original publication.

Legacy Geochemical Data from Hardcopy Records of Selected Past U.S. Geological Survey Projects

This data release contains geochemical data from selected U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) projects from the 1960s-1980s that were previously unpublished as digital data. The objective of those projects was to describe the geology, determine petrologic and geochemical characteristics, or to evaluate the mineral resource potential of Federal Lands and adjacent study areas. These data comprise geochemical analyses from 36,498 samples--27,223 rock samples, 4,091 sediment samples, 2,351 soil samples, 330 heavy-mineral pan concentrate samples, 297 organic material samples, 58 mineral samples, 27 water samples, 11 miscellaneous samples, and 2,110 unspecified media samples.  More than 78 percent of these samples were analyzed by a multi-element semi-quantitative visual 6-step emission spectrography method. Other analytical methods include flame-atomic absorption spectrophotometry, colorimetry, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry, fire assay, and ion specific electrode.
Included in this data set are 11,599 samples that do not have location coordinates. Also, 2,110 samples are only identified as "geologic material" samples since the specific sample media type information was not recorded. These data were included since they may still have value based on their general location and range of elemental concentrations.

Geospatial data for bedrock elevation and overburden thickness maps of the Five Boroughs, New York City, New York

Using a combination of public and proprietary historical construction test borings, recent exploration drilling, USGS observation wells, outcrops, and seismic measurements, a series of geospatial overlays for bedrock elevation and overburden thickness were created for the Five Boroughs of New York City, New York. Rasters were interpolated from a point elevation data set and refined using published and interpretive bedrock contours, and interpreted glacial valleys and faults. Contours for bedrock elevation were generated at 100-ft contour intervals and smoothed.
This data release includes shapefiles containing the input point elevation features and output contours, and rasters of interpolated bedrock elevation and overburden thickness surfaces.

Enhanced TIFF Sidescan-Sonar Mosaic of Las Vegas Wash - Lake Mead, Nevada:  Geographic Coordinates

Lake Mead is a large interstate reservoir located in the Mojave Desert of southeastern Nevada and northwestern Arizona.  It was impounded in 1935 by the construction of Hoover Dam and is one of a series of multi-purpose reservoirs on the Colorado River.  The lake extends 183 km from the mouth of the Grand Canyon to Black Canyon, the site of Hoover Dam, and provides water for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other non-agricultural users in communities across the southwestern United States.  Extensive research has been conducted on Lake Mead, but a majority of the studies have involved determining levels of anthropogenic contaminants such as synthetic organic compounds, heavy metals and dissolved ions, furans/dioxins, and nutrient loading in lake water, sediment, and biota (Preissler, et al., 1998; Bevans et al, 1996; Bevans et al., 1998; Covay and Leiker, 1998; LaBounty and Horn, 1997; Paulson, 1981).  By contrast, little work has focused on the sediments in the lake and the processes of deposition (Gould, 1951).  To address these questions, sidescan-sonar imagery and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles were collected throughout Lake Mead by the USGS in cooperation with researchers from University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).  These data allow a detailed mapping of the surficial geology and the distribution and thickness of sediment that has accumulated in the lake since the completion of Hoover Dam.  Results indicate that the accumulation of post-impoundment sediment is primarily restricted to former river and stream beds that are now submerged below the lake while the margins of the lake appear to be devoid of post-impoundment sediment.  The sediment cover along the original Colorado River bed is continuous and is typically greater than 10 m thick through much of its length.  Sediment thickness in some areas exceeds 35 m while the smaller tributary valleys typically are filled with less than 4 m of sediment.  Away from the river beds that are now covered with post-impoundment sediment, pre-impoundment alluvial deposits and rock outcrops are still exposed on the lake floor.

10) Groundwater-level change for Smith Valley and Mason Valley, Nevada, 1996-2006, approach 2

This raster dataset represents groundwater-level change from 1996 to 2006 in Smith Valley and Mason Valley, Nevada, calculated using approach 2. For this approach, depth-to-water measurements from 53 monitoring wells, represented as point values, were differenced between 1996 and 2006. Point values of change were interpolated into a raster to calculate valley-wide groundwater-level change. Groundwater-level change was estimated using two methods (approach 1 and 2) to address groundwater-level measurement uncertainty and constrain groundwater-level change estimates.

Species distribution model (SDM) for Penstemon palmeri in the Mojave Desert

Preserving native species diversity is fundamental to ecosystem conservation. Selecting appropriate native species for use in restoration is a critical component of project design and may emphasize species attributes such as life history, functional type, pollinator services, and nutritional value for wildlife. Determining which species are likely to establish and persist in a particular environment is a key consideration. Species distribution models (SDMs) characterize relationships between species occurrences and the physical environment (e.g., climate, soil, topographic relief) and provide a mechanism for assessing which species may successfully propagate at a restoration site. In conjunction with information on species attributes, SDMs facilitate holistic ecosystem restoration by enabling practitioners to identify diverse, resilient assemblages of native species. This project develops SDMs for native species of fundamental ecosystem importance in order to guide restoration of Mojave Desert landscapes. The dataset contained herein provides an SDM for Penstemon palmeri within its Mojave Desert range based on known occurrences.

Delta log R total organic carbon estimates for the Tuscaloosa marine shale, U.S.A.

This dataset contains estimated total organic carbon (TOC) calculated using the delta log R (dlogR) method, developed by Passey and others (1990), within BasinMod modeling software for the Tuscaloosa marine shale (TMS) in southwestern Mississippi, U.S.A.  BasinMod is a modeling software developed by Platte River Associates, Inc.  Using version 2021-03-03 of the software, sonic and resistivity logs and a background TOC of 0.8 weight percent were used to calculate dlogR TOC in the TMS high resistivity zone (HRZ) after baselining these two log curves in a non-source rock interval within the TMS.  Due to variable mineralogy between the upper and lower sections of the TMS, two baselines were selected to determine whether the position of the baseline affects dlogR TOC results: 1) an upper baseline interval that extends from the top of the TMS and is characterized by relatively low resistivity and limited resistivity variability; and 2) a lower baseline interval that begins at the base of the upper baseline interval and extends to the top of the HRZ and exhibits increasing resistivity, relative to the upper interval, that transitions to the higher values in the HRZ. The dlogR calculated TOC values from these two baselining methods show that using the lower baseline interval results in an improved comparison of measured TOC to calculated TOC.

Two-dimensional HEC-RAS models and topo-bathymetric datasets for the Willamette River, Oregon

This dataset contains two-dimensional hydraulic models throughout the Willamette River, extending from the McKenzie River confluence, near Eugene, to the city of Newberg. The study reach is separated into five individual models to simplify tributary inflow boundary conditions  and for run-time efficiency. These models were developed to assess juvenile salmonid habitat at streamflows ranging from typical low summer flows to roughly the median  annual high flow along each reach. Steady-state streamflow conditions were simulated in an unsteady flow simulation by holding streamflow constant for longer periods of time. Underlying these models is a digital elevation model, which combines bathymetric lidar, collected in 2017, with boat-based sonar data. Details on model and bathymetry development, calibration, and results can be found in the accompanying Scientific Investigation Report, Development of Continuous Bathymetry and Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Models for the Willamette River, Oregon.
