GeoTIFF image of acoustic backscatter collected by the U.S. Geological Survey off of Port Lambton, Ontario within the St. Clair River, 2008 (GeoTIFF, PORTL_05M.TIF)

In 2008, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a geophysical and sampling survey of the riverbed of the Upper St. Clair River between Port Huron, MI, and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The objectives were to define the Quaternary geologic framework of the St. Clair River to evaluate the relationship between morphologic change of the riverbed and underlying stratigraphy. This report presents the geophysical and sample data collected from the St. Clair River, May 29-June 6, 2008 as part of the International Upper Great Lakes Study, a 5-year project funded by the International Joint Commission of the United States and Canada to examine whether physical changes in the St. Clair River are affecting water levels within the upper Great Lakes, to assess regulation plans for outflows from Lake Superior, and to examine the potential effect of climate change on the Great Lakes water levels ( http://www.iugls.org). This document makes available the data that were used in a separate report, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2009-1137, which detailed the interpretations of the Quaternary geologic framework of the region. This report includes a description of the suite of high-resolution acoustic and sediment-sampling systems that were used to map the morphology, surficial sediment distribution, and underlying geology of the Upper St. Clair River during USGS field activity 2008-016-FA . Video and photographs of the riverbed were also collected and are included in this data release. Future analyses will be focused on substrate erosion and its effects on river-channel morphology and geometry. Ultimately, the International Upper Great Lakes Study will attempt to determine where physical changes in the St. Clair River affect water flow and, subsequently, water levels in the Upper Great Lakes.

Russian River Integrated Hydrologic Model (RRIHM): Watershed Soils

This data release is the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) databases covering Mendocino County, Eastern Part and Southwestern Part of Trinity County, and Sonoma County California. This data was downloaded in 2014.
This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most
detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National
Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing
maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base
and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely
sensed and other information.
This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and
computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area
extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory
of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable
pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at
the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line
features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features
too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large
enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and
management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the
National Soil Information System relational database, which gives
the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.

Phosphorus, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, pH, and dissolved oxygen data from incubations of Colorado River water and sediment and associated ambient river water measurements

Lake Powell retains most of the phosphorus that it receives, leading to downstream phosphorus limitation. These data were compiled to examine controls on phosphorus cycling below Lake Powell in the Colorado River and from storm inputs from the Paria River. Objectives of our study were to determine how several forms of phosphorus, both organic and inorganic, were cycled under varying dissolved oxygen concentrations and pH, reflecting the range of values observed in the river over the years. These data represent nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, and carbon concentrations, water quality parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature), sediment composition, total protein, and extracellular enzyme activity (alkaline phosphatase). Additionally, these data contain some previously unpublished longer term continuous pH data from the Colorado River. These data were primarily collected in the summer of 2021, before, during, and immediately following incubations of three different sediment types with Colorado river water. Sediment and overlying water for incubations were collected at one time point from three sites: the Paria River near the confluence with the Colorado River, the Colorado River approximately 23 river kilometers below Glen Canyon Dam, and the Colorado River near its inflow to Lake Mead at the Pearce Ferry boat ramp. Data were collected by the Southwest Biological Science Center-Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center researchers. These ambient river water and sediment data can be used to describe chemical and biological conditions in the river and data from bottle incubations can be used to examine how changing laboratory conditions affect nutrient availability and cycling.

Hydroacoustic Data to Support Embayment Monitoring in Long Island Sound, Mystic and Norwalk Embayments, Connecticut, 2021-2022

This data release includes hydroacoustic data for the 2021 to 2022 water years at four stations. These stations are part of a discrete and continuous monitoring project in embayments on Long Island Sound to support nutrient management activities in Connecticut. The data were collected by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.  The data were collected using acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCPs) sampling 134 parameters every six minutes. Recorded values above the water surface were removed from files using an R script. The ADCPs were deployed at upstream and downstream locations in the Mystic and Norwalk embayments. For the Mystic River embayment, the upstream station is the Mystic River at Mystic Seaport near Mystic, CT (412141071580200), USGS streamgage and the downstream station is the Mystic River at Ram Island Yacht Club at Noank, CT (411940071590300), USGS streamgage. For the Norwalk embayment, the upstream station is the Norwalk River at Norwalk Aquarium near South Norwalk, CT (410606073245700), USGS streamgage and the downstream station is the Norwalk Harbor at the Cove Marina near East Norwalk, CT (410502073236000), USGS streamgage. Data are provided for each station in a ‘zip’ file and each zip file includes a description for the station’s ADCP setup.

MODFLOW-NWT simulations of regional groundwater flow under mining and pre-mining scenarios near the Mesabi Iron Range within the St. Louis River Basin, northeastern Minnesota

The U.S. Geological Survey developed two steady-state finite-difference regional groundwater-flow models using the MODFLOW-NWT computer code.  These models simulate flow in the area of historical iron mining on and around the portion of the Mesabi Iron Range that is in the St. Louis River basin in northeastern Minnesota.  The models are composed of 8 layers each; the upper four representing unconsolidated glacial sediments and the lower 4 representing bedrock.  Horizontal boundary flows for these models are the results of a 2-dimensional analytic element groundwater-flow model of the entire St. Louis River Basin documented here: https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195033 and available here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9KUJ0L3.
This archive contains two simulations.  The mining model simulates groundwater flow under current  iron-mining land use, being calibrated to average hydrologic conditions during calendar years 1995-2015.  The premining simulation is identical to the mining simulation except that all iron-mining features are removed.  It represents a scenario where modern conditions exist but iron mining does not.  The models were used to explore the effects of modern iron mining on hydrology in the St. Louis River basin.  This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20225124).

Pesticide Concentrations in American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) Tadpoles Collected from Ponds and Reservoirs near Mead, Nebraska

To evaluate the potential uptake and accumulation of pesticides in amphibians, American bullfrog  (Lithobates catesbeianus) tadpoles were collected  from surface water sites (four ponds and one reservoir) in 2021 near Mead, Nebraska. Sites were located in the landscape surrounding the AltEn ethanol plant, a plant which had previously received pesticide treated (coated) seeds. Tadpoles were collected in November 2021, these tadpoles hatched in June 2021. The tadpole tissues were dried, homogenized, and then extracted using acetonitrile at 100°C. Samples were analyzed for 166 pesticides and degradates using both gas and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Overall, 14 pesticides and degradates were detected in the tadpole tissue. Pesticides detected included neonicotinoid insecticides (clothianidin) and their degradates, other insecticides (bifenthrin), fungicides (fluoxastrobin, ipconazaole, metconazole, propiconazole, pyraclostrobin, tebuconazole) and degradates, and the historically used insecticide p,p’-DDT and its degradates (p,p’-DDE and p,p’-DDD). These results can help determine which pesticides may accumulate in amphibians.
