Digital elevation model of the lava dome in the crater of Mount St. Helens, August 17, 1983

The catastrophic, explosive eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, on May 18, 1980, is the most well-known eruption of the volcano. Less well known is the May 18 eruption marked the beginning of a period of eruptive activity that lasted through 1986. Beginning in October 1980, a series of 17 dome-building episodes added millions of cubic meters of lava to the crater floor. Most of the growth occurred when magma extruded onto the surface of the dome, forming lava flows up to approximately 198 to 396 meters (650 to 1,300 feet) long and 20 to 40 meters (65 to 130 feet) thick.
This data release is a 1-meter resolution digital elevation model (DEM) and a corresponding hillshade raster derived from a previously unpublished 1:2,000 scale topographic contour map, based on aerial photographs taken on August 17, 1983, created by USGS for use during the response to the eruption.

USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project-Southwestern Wyoming Province, Phosphoria Shale Gas Assessment Unit Boundaries and Assessment Input Data Forms

This data release contains the boundary of the assessment unit and input data for the assessment of continuous gas resources in the Phosphoria formation of the Southwestern Wyoming province. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources.  The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System.  The Assessment Unit is shown herein as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologist responsible for the province and incorporates a set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations sharing similar geologic, geographic, and temporal properties within the Total Petroleum System, such as source rock, timing, migration pathways, trapping mechanism, and hydrocarbon type.  The Assessment Unit boundary is defined geologically as the limits of the geologic elements that define the Assessment Unit, such as limits of reservoir rock, geologic structures, source rock, and seal lithologies.  The only exceptions to this are Assessment Units that border the Federal-State water boundary.  In these cases, the Federal-State water boundary forms part of the Assessment Unit boundary.  Methodology of assessments are documented in USGS Data Series 547 for continuous assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/547) and USGS DDS69-D, Chapter 21 for conventional assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-069/dds-069-d/REPORTS/69_D_CH_21.pdf).

Cave and Karst Biota Modeling in the Appalachian LCC - Predicted psuedoscorpions in sampled 20km grid cells

We developed spatial summary (GIS) layers for a study of factors influencing the distribution of cave and karst associated fauna within the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative region, one of 22 public-private partnerships established by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to aid in developing landscape scale solutions to conservation problems (https://lccnetwork.org/lcc/appalachian).  We gathered occurrence data on cave-limited terrestrial and aquatic troglobiotic species from a variety of sources within the Appalachian LCC region covering portions of 15 states.  Occurrence records were developed from the scientific literature, existing biodiversity databases, personal records of the authors, museum accessions, state Natural Heritage programs, and The Nature Conservancy (for Tennessee).  Occurrence records were identified by location and translated into a GIS database.  Although the precise locations cannot be made public due the sensitivity of the information, data sharing agreements, and restrictions under the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988, we summarized the data spatially using a coarse 20x20km vector grid. We used these occurence records, summarized at the 20x20km grid resolution in statistical modeling to examine physical factors predictive of cave dwelling fauna. Spatial summaries were developed for all cave dwelling species in our database where we had location coordinates for nine faunal groups (five terrestrial and four aquatic) that are common components of terrestrial and aquatic cave communities: ground beetles (Carabidae), millipedes, pseudoscorpions, spiders, and springtails for terrestrial species groups, and amphipods (Crangonyctidae and Gammaridae), isopods (Asellidae), crayfishes (Cambaridae), and fishes (Amblyopsidae) for aquatic species groups.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 0305 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 398 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2021 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Five previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016, and 2018). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

University of Iowa/ NASA GIFT Expedition to Askja, Iceland MSc Data collection: 2019, Dyngjusandur Sandsheet In situ and Photogrammetric Ventifact Measurements

We use the Dyngjusandur sandsheet, Iceland as a testbed to quantify the type of data necessary to accurately represent ventifact orientations and extract paleowind information through a statistical evaluation of the differences between photogrammetric based and in situ geological analysis. Forty representative ventifacts were selected for in situ measurement, 20 of which were imaged for photogrammetric analysis to produce oriented and scaled virtual 3D models. An additional set of measurements were made on the “synthetic” models to allow for statistical assessment of erosional feature orientation. Despite the similarity between the photogrammetric (1145 measurements), and the in situ datasets (500 measurements), there are small, but significant differences that become more pronounced as sample size is reduced. Results indicate that in situ and photogrammetric methods of measuring feature orientation are comparable (to within 2° ± 2° at 1σ [N = 20] for inferring paleowind directions), but photogrammetric analyses requires less time for data acquisition (by a factor of 0.36–0.66) and yields over five times (5.16×) as many measurements per ventifact, with additional advantages of being able to examine digital objects under different illumination conditions, magnifications, and from angles that are otherwise not possible in the field. This data collection includes in situ and photogrammetric ventifact orientation measurements (.csv files), ventifact field images (.jpgs) and ventifact point cloud files (.bin and other format) collected during 2019 field work.

Water chemistry and fish health effects for fathead minnow embryos exposed to sodium nitrate and matched conductivity controls for 21 days post fertilization.

This data set describes developmental and physiological effects observed in fathead minnow embryos that were exposed to sodium nitrate or conductivity-matched controls. Exposures were conducted in the laboratory from fertilization through 21 days post-fertilization (dpf). Nitrate doses were 0, 2, 5, 10, 25, or 100 milligrams per liter nitrate-nitrogen; conductivity controls were matched to the 10 and 100 milligrams per liter nitrate-nitrogen treatments. During the experiment, we assessed heart rate and percent arrhythmic heart beats at 3 dpf, timing of hatch and inflation of the posterior and anterior swim bladders, presence of pericardial edema or scoliosis, fish metrics at 21 dpf (fish length and weight; swim bladder length, width, and volume), and mortality. Water quality data during the exposure period are also presented, and include conductivity, pH, nitrate-nitrogen, total ammonia, unionized ammonia, and dissolved oxygen.

Groundwater-level altitudes and long-term groundwater-level Changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers, Houston-Galveston Region, Texas, 2019

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 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 groundwater‐level altitudes and groundwater‐level altitude changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers in the Houston‐Galveston region, Texas. This dataset shows current‐year (2019) groundwater‐level altitudes for each aquifer, 5‐year (2014‐19) groundwater‐level changes for each aquifer, long‐term (1990‐2019 and 1977‐2019) groundwater‐level changes for the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, and long‐term (2000‐2019) groundwater‐level change for the Jasper aquifer. The groundwater‐level measurements from which the dataset were built are stored in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) (http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN) and are accessible through the NWIS Web Interface.  
In 2019, groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Chicot aquifer ranged from 200 feet (ft) below the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 to 200 ft above datum. Groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Evangeline aquifer ranged from 300 ft below datum to 200 ft above datum. Groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Jasper aquifer ranged from 200 ft below datum to 250 ft above datum. In each aquifer, the highest and lowest groundwater-level altitudes were measured in relatively small, isolated areas. This dataset was created by the U.S. Geological Survey to provide resource managers, public officials, researchers, and the general public with ready access to accurate, impartial, scientific information regarding groundwater‐level changes and altitudes in Harris, Galveston, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Chambers, Grimes, Liberty, San Jacinto, Walker, and Waller Counties, Texas.  
These digital data accompany Braun, C.L., Ramage, J.K., and Shah, S.D., 2019, Status of groundwater-level altitudes and long-term groundwater-level changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers, Houston-Galveston region, Texas, 2019: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2019–5089, 18 p.

GMX_Q06.TIF - U.S. Gulf of Mexico EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (6 of 16) (ACEA, 50 m, Clarke1866)

During February 1982 and again from August 7 to October 22, 1985 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted four cruises to cover the U.S. Gulf of Mexico Continental Margin Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) seaward of the continental shelf edge. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of 16 digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the Gulf of Mexico region.

Magnetotelluric sounding data, station 36, San Luis Valley, Colorado, 2007

This dataset includes the magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data collected in 2007 in and near the San Luis Valley, Colorado. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a series of multidisciplinary studies, including MT surveys, in the San Luis Valley to improve understanding of the hydrogeology of the Santa Fe Group and the nature of the sedimentary deposits comprising the principal groundwater aquifers of the Rio Grande rift. The shallow unconfined and the deeper confined Santa Fe Group aquifers in the San Luis Basin are the main sources of municipal water for the region. The population of the San Luis Valley region is growing rapidly and water shortfalls could have serious consequences. Future growth and land management in the region depend on accurate assessment and protection of the region's groundwater resources.
