Landsat Burned Area Products Data Release - Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS products

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed and implemented an algorithm that identifies burned areas in temporally-dense time series of Landsat Analysis Ready Data (ARD) scenes to produce the Landsat Burned Area Products. The algorithm makes use of predictors derived from individual ARD Landsat scenes, lagged reference conditions, and change metrics between the scene and reference conditions. Scene-level products include pixel-level burn probability (BP) and burn classification (BC) images, corresponding to each Landsat image in the ARD time series. Annual composite products are also available by summarizing the scene level products. Prior to generating annual composites, individual scenes that had &gt; 0.010 burned proportion were visually assessed as part of a quality assurance check. Scenes with obvious commission errors were removed. The annual products include the maximum burn probability (BP), burn classification count (BC) or the number of scenes a pixel was classified as burned, filtered burn classification (BF) with burned areas persistent from the previous year removed, and the burn date (BD) or the Julian date of the first Landsat scene a burned areas was observed in. Vectorized versions of the BF raster are also provided as shapefiles (BF_labeled) with attributes including summary statistics of BC, BD, BP, as well as the majority level 3 ecoregion (Omernik and Griffith, 2014) and count of pixels by each National Land Cover Database Category (Vogelmann et al., 2001; Yang et al., 2018) for each burned area polygon. These products were generated for the conterminous United States for 1984 through 2019 individually for Landsat TM (5), Landsat ETM+ (7), OLI/TIRS (8), and for all sensors combined. The products for each sensor combination and year are contained in a compressed tar file are available through the USGS Science Base Catalog (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9QKHKTQ) and also at https://gec.cr.usgs.gov/outgoing/baecv/LBA/LBA_CU_C01_V01/ Additional details about the algorithm used to generate these products are described in Hawbaker, T.J., Vanderhoof, M.K., Schmidt, G.L., Beal, Y, Takacs, J.D., Falgout, J.T., Picotte, J.J., and Dwyer, J.L. 2020.

Hydrologic and geophysical data from high-elevation boreholes in Redwell Basin near Crested Butte, Colorado: Hydrologic monitoring data

Boreholes were drilled in 2017 and 2018 in Redwell Basin, a headwater catchment underlain by hydrothermally altered sedimentary rock in the Elk Mountains near the town of Crested Butte, Colorado. Two boreholes were completed as vertically discrete nested monitoring wells (MW1 as MW1A-MW1D and MW2.1 as MW2.1A-MW2.1C) and one borehole was completed as a single monitoring well (MW2 as RP8). Site locations and well construction are documented under the main page of this data release.  Absolute (non-vented) pressure and temperature data loggers (PTDs) were deployed in these wells to monitor groundwater levels and fluid temperature over time. The period of record covers August 2018-September 2019 for all wells; the period of record for MW1D covers October 2017 to September 2019. Barometric pressure and surface temperature were monitored with a single PTD at the ground surface inside one well cover for the majority of the period of record. In addition to long-term monitoring, manual measurements of well water levels were collected as depth-to-water measurements (MW1A-D and RP8) or well-head gauge pressures (MW2.1A-C).
Pressure, temperature, and water-level elevation data are provided for each well over the available period of record. Manual water level measurements are also provided.  Unprocessed records are archived in a separate compressed (zip) directory.  Attributes for all files are described in the data directory.

Water quality and seepage estimates collected at Lake Spokane, Washington, 2016—2019

Shallow nearshore groundwater chemistry and estimates of groundwater seepage were collected across 21 locations along Lake Spokane, WA, beginning in October 2016 and ending in October 2019. Groundwater chemistry was collected using temporary mini-piezometers and seepage rates from Lee-type seepage meters.  Sample locations are divided into two distinct types: Primary sites, where seepage data and groundwater chemistry were collected, and secondary sites, which were only sampled for groundwater chemistry.  This data release includes two Comma Separated Value (CSV) files, one containing the individual seepage meter measurements, and a second that includes all groundwater chemistry.  Included in the file of groundwater chemistry are estimates of vertical hydraulic gradients determined from sample piezometers using a field manometer. This data were collected to support an investigation of groundwater nutrient loading to Lake Spokane, WA (Sheibley and Foreman, 2020).

This dataset contains cross-section geometry and sediment-size  data collected in the fall of 2019 from Muddy Creek and North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir, western Colorado. Six cross sections were surveyed using Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK-GNSS) methods to document channel geometry below Paonia Reservoir. One cross section was surveyed on Muddy Creek below Paonia Reservoir, and five cross sections were surveyed from North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir. All six cross sections are incorporated in this data release within one shapefile. Pebble counts were performed at each of the six cross sections to document sediment-size downstream from the reservoir. Four transects were completed at each cross section, where sediment size was measured and recorded. Sediment-size data are presented in .CSV files, with one file for each cross-section location, incorporating all of the data for each of the four transects at that location.

Dye tracing data related to karst hydrologic processes in carbonate fensters of the western Great Smoky Mountains

Dye tracing investigations were conducted in Cades Cove and Tuckaleechee Cove, two carbonate fensters in the western Great Smoky Mountains.  These investigations were conducted as part of a two-year study examining the karst hydrology in the carbonate fensters.  Main objectives of the dye tracing investigations were to determine resurgences for cave systems, delineate recharge areas for major springs, and to compare travel times from sink (dye injection point) to resurgence (monitoring site) for the two coves.  Over the two-year study period (2017-2018), four different rounds of dye injections were completed, and each round had four dye injection locations, with the exception of the fourth round in September 2018, which had only one injection location in Cades Cove.  From these dye injections and the subsequent dye traces, a total of five different spring recharge areas were delineated in Tuckaleechee Cove ranging from 0.05 – 5.9 square miles in size. Data in the data release include: dye injection locations, types of dye and the amount injected, monitoring site locations, time of the first detection at a recovery site, positive traces, delineated recharge areas for springs, and recharge area boundaries.  Dye injection methods are included as process steps within the metadata for the dataset.

Seismic reflection imaging of the low-angle Panamint normal fault system, eastern California, 2018

A fundamental question in seismic hazard analysis is whether &lt;30º-dipping low-angle normal 
faults (LANFs) slip seismogenically. In comparison to more steeply dipping (45-60º) normal 
faults, LANFs have the potential to produce stronger shaking because of their increased possible 
rupture area in the seismogenic crust. While LANFs have been documented globally, examples 
of seismogenically active LANFs are limited. The western margin of the Panamint Range in 
eastern California is defined by an archetypal LANF that dips west beneath Panamint Valley. In 
addition, high-angle dextral-oblique normal faults displace mid-to-late Quaternary alluvial fans 
near the range front. To image shallow (&lt;1 km depth), crosscutting relationships between the 
low- and high-angle faults along the range front, we acquired two high-resolution P-wave 
seismic reflection profiles. The northern 4.6-km-long profile crosses the 2-km-wide Wildrose 
Graben and the southern 0.8-km-long profile extends onto the Panamint Valley playa. The 
profile across the Wildrose Graben reveals a robust, low-angle reflector interpreted to represent 
the LANF. High-angle faults interpreted in the seismic profile correspond to fault scarps on 
Quaternary alluvial fan surfaces. Interpretation of the reflection data suggests that the high-angle 
faults vertically displace the LANF up to 81 m within the Wildrose Graben. Similarly, the 
southern profile reveals a low-angle reflector, which appears both rotated and displaced up to 
260 m by high-angle faults. These results suggest that near the Panamint rangefront, the highangle faults are the dominant late Quaternary structures. We conclude that, at least at shallow (&lt;1km) depths, the LANF imaged is not seismogenically active today.

Supporting Data for Estimating Selected Low-Flow Frequency Statistics and Mean Annual Flow for Ungaged Locations on Streams in Alabama (ver. 1.1, November 2020)

Streamflow data and statistics are vitally important for proper protection and management of both the water quality and water quantity of Alabama streams. Such data and statistics are available at U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations, also referred to as streamgages or stations, but are often needed at ungaged stream locations. To address this need, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with numerous Alabama state agencies and organizations, developed regional regression equations for estimating selected low-flow frequency statistics and mean annual flow for ungaged locations in Alabama that are not substantially affected by tides, regulation, diversions, or other anthropogenic influences. This data release comprises the geographic information systems (GIS) layers and tabular data used to create the new low-flow and mean annual flow regression equations and implement them for the U.S. Geological Survey StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov).

Microbial Communities Across a Successional Gradient at Indiana Dunes National Park, 2015-2017

This soil and vegetation data were collected along a successional gradient at the Indiana Dunes National Park.  Soil samples were processed for standard soil chemistry, texture, and nutrients. DNA extracted from soil samples were analyzed for bacterial communities using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing technique to understand the composition and distribution of these communities along the successional gradient. Soils samples were collected in 2015 and 2017. Vegetation data were collected only in 2017, as the vegetation was dormant in 2015. We collected the data to examine the relationships among soils, vegetation, and composition of the microbial communities along a dunal chronosequence. A dunal chronosequence is a series of coastal dunes that formed at different times thus a chrono-sequence. In such a sequence, the younger dunes are near the lakeshore and the older ones are inland. The raw metagenomic data can be accessed at the NCBI repository under the bioproject accession PRJNA658136.
