Model grid and infiltration values for the transient ground-water flow model, Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital data set defines the model grid and infiltration values simulated in the transient 
ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), 
an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California. The 
DVRFS model grid is north-south-oriented, consists of 194 rows and 160 columns, and 
has a constant grid-cell spacing of 1,500 meters. Model cells are attributed with infiltration 
rates that are used as a component of recharge in the flow model. The DVRFS transient 
ground-water flow model is one of the most recent in a number of regional-scale models 
developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 
to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada 
(see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8).

Grain-size data from samples collected in 2009 at three bluff locations in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska

Grain-size data, including grain size, cumulative frequency, and median, was determined from samples collected at three bluff locations in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska. The different locations (termed W1, W2, and W3) represent three different slope-failure modes. Sediment grab samples for most bluff locations were collected in August 2009, while sediment samples from the bluff at site W3 and multiple foreshore locations were collected in September and October of 2009. Two of the grab samples were sieved and analyzed for grain size distributions (7 classes ranging from 0.06 to 0.72 mm). The grain size distribution of the remaining samples was determined from referenced photographs of collected samples taken in the lab following the method of Barnard and others (2007) using two-dimensional spectral decomposition of sediment images (Buscombe and others, 2010). Results of sieved samples were used to verify mean grain-size values obtained with the image processing algorithm. Data are available in a single csv file.

Lateral boundary of the steady-state ground-water flow model by D'Agnese and others (2002), Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital data set defines the lateral boundary of the area simulated by the steady-state ground-water flow model 
of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) by D'Agnese and others (2002). The DVRFS flow 
model was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support 
investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The model area is an approximately 
45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California. The model simulates prepumping conditions of 
the DVRFS and provides starting conditions for the development and calibration of a transient ground-water flow 
model, (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8, for details). The lateral boundary encompassing the model 
domain is a combination of no-flow boundaries resulting from physical barriers or hydraulic separation of flow regimes 
(ground-water divides and [or] regional flow lines) and arbitrary lateral-flow (throughflow) boundaries where water is 
allowed to flow across the lateral boundary.

Sonde data of continuous surface water flow-through system for the West Florida Shelf: USGS Cruise 11BHM03

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 two 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). The cruises occurred September 20 - 28 and November 2 - 4, 2011. Both left from and returned to Saint Petersburg, Florida, but followed different routes (see Trackline). On both cruises the USGS collected data pertaining to pH, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and total alkalinity in discrete samples. Discrete surface samples were taken during transit approximatly hourly on both cruises, 95 in September were collected over a span of 2127 km, and 7 over a trackline of 732 km line on the November cruise. Along with the surface samples, another set of samples were taken at various depths at stations; 27 in September at four stations and 15 in November at five stations. In addition to the discrete samples flow-through data was also collected on both cruises in a variety of forms. Surface CTD data was collected every five minutes which includes temperature, salinity, and pH. In addition, two more flow-through instruments were setup on both cruises that recorded pH and CO2 every 15 minutes. Corroborating the USGS data is 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.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.2 Transects with Short-Term End Point Rate Calculations for Washington (WA_transects_ST.shp)

Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate.  Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion.  As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes.  To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change.  Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments.  The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast.  The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

Data for herpetofaunal inventories of the national parks of South Florida and the Caribbean: Volume III, Big Cypress National Preserve

The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) requires the use of ecological indicators to measure the success of restoration efforts.  The Everglades amphibian community is ideal because amphibians are present in all habitats and under all hydrologic regimes.  During Everglades restoration, hydrologic patterns will change and the response of ecological indicators will determine success. Fourteen amphibian species were detected through visual encounter surveys, vocalization surveys and trapping methods throughout the study and the occurrence information collected in this project database.
