Orthomosaic imagery for the intertidal zone at Post Point, Bellingham Bay, WA, 2019-06-06

This portion of the data release presents a high-resolution orthomosaic images of the intertidal zone at Post Point, Bellingham Bay, WA. The orthomosaics were derived from structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery collected with an unmanned aerial system (UAS) on 2019-06-06. The orthomosaics are presented with two resolutions: one image, covering the entire survey area, has a resolution of 2 centimeters per pixel; the other image which was derived from a lower-altitude flight, covers an inset area within the main survey area and has a resolution of 1 centimeter per pixel. The raw imagery used to create the orthomosaics was acquired using a UAS fitted with a Ricoh GR II digital camera featuring a global shutter. The UAS was flown on pre-programmed autonomous flight lines spaced to provide approximately 70 percent overlap between images from adjacent lines. The camera was triggered at 1 Hz using a built-in intervalometer. For the main orthomosaic, the UAS was flown at an approximate altitude of 70 meters above ground level (AGL), resulting in a nominal ground-sample-distance (GSD) of 1.8 centimeters per pixel. For the higher-resolution orthomosaic, the UAS was flown at an approximate altitude of 35 meters (AGL), resulting in a nominal ground-sample-distance (GSD) of 0.9 centimeters per pixel. The raw imagery was geotagged using positions from the UAS onboard single-frequency autonomous GPS. Nineteen temporary ground control points (GCPs) were distributed throughout each survey area to establish survey control. The GCPs consisted of a combination of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and "X" marks placed on the ground using temporary chalk. The GCP positions were measured using post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS, using corrections from a GPS base station located approximately 5 kilometers from the study area. The orthomosaic images are provided in a three-band RGB format, with 8-bit unsigned integer values compressed using high-quality JPEG compression. The images have been formatted as cloud optimized GeoTIFFs with internal overviews and masks to facilitate cloud-based queries and display.

Velocity and Bathymetric Data near Outfall Structures for the City of Omaha Water Resource Recovery Facilities on the Missouri River, 2020

These data sets were derived from surveys at the Missouri River and Papillion Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility outfalls on the Missouri River. Each site had three transects, one at the outfall, one 45.7 meters upstream of the outfall and one 45.7 meters downstream of the outfall.  Velocity and depth data were collected using an acoustic Doppler current profiler at each transect.  Elevations of water surface, bank topography, and shallow channel bed elevations were collected at each transect using survey grade Global Navigation and Satellite System instruments connected to the High Precision Real-Time Kinematic (HPRTK) correction service (https://hprtk.net).  Data were processed using Velocity Mapping Toolbox: a processing and visualization suite for moving-vessel acoustic Doppler current profiler measurements, Parsons and others, 2013.  Data from the surveyed cross-section at the outfall of each site were also processed to estimate discharge during the time of the survey.  The discharge during data collection at the Papillion Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility outfall was 1,005 cubic meters per second (35,500 cubic feet per second) at around 4:00 pm central standard time and at the Missouri River Water Resource Recovery Facility outfall was 1,020 cubic meters per second (36,000 cubic feet per second) at around 6:00 pm central standard time.  This data release contains two comma separated value files.  The file named Missouri_River_Papillion_Creek_WRRF_BedElevations&amp;Topopoints_UTM15M.csv contains Universal Transverse Mercator zone 15 Northing, Easting, and elevation information for all survey points including bathymetry and Global Navigation and Satellite System data and the Water Resource Recovery Facility where the data were collected.  The file named Missouri_River_Papillion_Creek_WRRF_Velocity_UTM15M.csv contains velocity specific positioning data and depth averaged velocity data.

Digital elevation model (DEM) of the Cache Slough Complex, Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California

This metadata describes a digital elevation model (DEM) created from bathymetric and topographic data collected between 2004 and 2019 in the Cache Slough Complex (CSC), northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California.
We merged the newly collected bathymetric and topographic data presented in this data release (DOI:10.5066/P9AQSRVH) with 2019 surveys by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), 2017 USGS Sacramento Delta Lidar, and 2004 bathymetry data from the Army Corp of Engineers. Small gaps of missing data were filled with existing DWR/USGS Delta DEMs to produce a seamless DEM of the Cache Slough Complex with a grid resolution of 1 m. Remaining gaps in the DEM are areas where there is currently no available data.

Uncertainty of forecasted shoreline positions for Florida and Georgia

During Hurricane Irma, Florida and Georgia experienced substantial impacts to beaches, dunes, barrier islands, and coral reefs. Extensive erosion and coral losses from hurricanes result in increased vulnerability of coastal regions, including densely populated areas. Erosion may put critical infrastructure at risk of future flooding and may cause economic loss. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards Resources Program is working to assess shoreline erosion along the southeast U.S. coastline and analyze its implications for future vulnerability.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0616 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 2018 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. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Orchidlands Estates Ceratocystis DNA Detection 2016

Rapid ʽŌhiʽa Death (ROD) currently threatens ōhiʽa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) on Hawaiʽi Island. First identified in Puna in 2014, the disease has now spread island wide. Besides direct sampling of trees, environmental sampling could serve as an easier and broader strategy to detect Ceratocystis spp., the fungi causing ROD. Environmental sampling could also help monitor the effect of felling ROD infected trees. We developed Passive and Active Environmental Samplers and deployed them at a property in Puna, where both C. lukuohia, and C. huliohia had been detected, and where the land owner practiced the management method of felling infected trees. We set up 2 Active Environmental Samplers (modified mosquito traps connected to a battery that uses a fan to continuously draw in air) and 3 Passive Environmental Samplers (uses a vane to move in the direction of the wind without the use of electricity) from July 12th to October 25th, 2016. The Active Samplers contained one slide (1 replicate) each, while the Passive Samplers contained 4 slides (4 replicates) each. Samplers were located in the lawn (2 Active, 1 Passive), next to a rainwater catchment tank (1 Passive), and next to a small shed (1 Passive). The dataset contains a list of sampling weeks and their start and end dates, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results for individual slides that were collected from Active and Passive Samplers located at the Lawn, Tank and Shed sites. Samples were tested twice for Ceratocystis lukuohia, Ceratocystis huliohia, and Metrosideros polymorpha DNA after extraction with a Machery Nagel Plant II Extraction Kit and again after DNA was concentrated by ethanol precipitation. Positive qPCR test results are presented as quantitation cycle (Cq) in which fluorescence is detected for Ceratocystis lukuohia, Ceratocystis huliohia, and Metrosideros polymorpha DNA for each individual slide and number of replicates that were positive out of three for C. lukuohia and C. huliohia and out of six for M. polymorpha. Lines that are blank in columns for Cq values reflect negative test results. When Cq values have more than one replicate for a test, the reported Cq value represents the average of all positive replicates.

Undiscovered Continuous Oil, Colorado Plateau

This dataset is based on U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) resource assessments for “undiscovered” oil resources, which are resources that have not yet been extensively proven by drilling (USGS 2014). Individual resource assessments describe the amount of petroleum resources in units with similar geologic features. We focused on the amount of undiscovered continuous oil because technological advances have made exploitation of continuous resources increasingly profitable and large amounts remain undeveloped in comparison with conventional resources. We quantified the density of continuous oil resources by adding together the amounts in spatially overlapping assessment units and dividing these totals by polygon areas. Since assessments for geologic areas used in this analysis were completed at various times, the certainty related to these values is likely to vary according to geologic unit.

Interpolated Hydrogeologic Framework and Digitized Datasets for Upstate New York Study Areas

This data release shows the digital hydrogeologic datasets were developed for the eight study areas in upstate New York in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. These datasets define the hydrogeologic framework of the valley-fill aquifer and surrounding till-covered uplands within the four study areas. Also included within are the input data that was necessary to create and interpolate the hydrogeologic framework. The input data is provided as point feature classes, and previously published report georeferenced files along with the digitized data as line or polygon feature classes. 
The data release is broken into eight child item pages; one for each model area. Each child item contains the data pertaining to that study area.  
In addition to shapefiles, feature classes were provided for convenience to some users. These feature class datasets were not explicitly outlined in the data release and may have subtle differences to shapefiles due to inherent differences in file types (i.e. character limitations in shapefiles vs feature class files).

Solid bitumen and vitrinite reflectance suppression explored using hydrous pyrolysis of artificial source rock (2021)

The most commonly used parameter for thermal maturity calibration in basin modelling is mean random vitrinite reflectance (Ro). However, Ro suppression, or lower than expected Ro, has been noted in samples containing a high proportion of liptinite macerals. This has been empirically demonstrated using hydrous pyrolysis experiments of artificial source rock containing various proportions of thermally immature Wyodak-Anderson coal and liptinite-rich kerogen from the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation. Analysis of samples pyrolyzed at 330°C for 72 h demonstrates that the Ro values of both vitrinite and solid bitumen are suppressed, where the degree of suppression increases with increasing amounts of liptinite. Solid bitumen Ro (BRo) is suppressed to a greater degree than Ro. Raman and micro-Fourier transform infrared (µ-FTIR) analyses were performed to investigate the mechanisms responsible for this suppression. Raman maturity proxies show decreased aromaticity in samples with suppressed Ro, particularly in solid bitumen, with aromaticity decreasing as the proportion of liptinite increases. The µ-FTIR proxy for aliphatic chain length and/or branching ratio is relatively static in solid bitumen yet increases slightly in vitrinite as the proportion of liptinite increases. These spectroscopic results suggest slightly different Ro suppression mechanisms for vitrinite and solid bitumen, with reduced C-C bond cleavage and marginally reduced aromaticity in vitrinite with suppressed Ro, and strongly reduced aromaticity and C-C bond cleavage in solid bitumen with suppressed Ro. These results support the hypothesis that the generation of free radicals during maturation slows aromatization and highlight the disadvantages of using solid bitumen Ro for maturity calibration in liptinite-rich samples. Furthermore, our results indicate using Raman data obtained from liptinite-rich samples may also result in suppressed maturity indicators, particularly if the macerals are not identified prior to analysis.

Bathymetric-topographic digital elevation models for four reaches of the Big River, Missouri

This dataset contains digital elevation models (DEMs) for four reaches of the Big River in Missouri. The study reaches are as follows: Site W (STW), Rockford Beach (RFB), Phelps Bend (PHB), and Washington State Park (WSP). The reach DEMs were created in support of research assessing the hydraulic conditions of freshwater mussel habitat in the Big River. Channel and bank elevations were generated from data collected by USGS staff from the Columbia Environmental Research Center between February 2019 and January 2020 using single-beam echosounder surveys, manual Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) topographic surveys, and terrestrial light detection and ranging (lidar) surveys. Elevations for areas beyond the active channel were generated from Missouri aerial lidar data collected between December 2010 and April 2011 by the Surdex Corporation for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Louis District. Prior to DEM generation, elevations were locally smoothed to remove small tributary drainages that would lead to erroneous water routing during modeling.
