Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the Greater Raleigh Area, North Carolina

Digital elevation models (DEMs) were developed from lidar surveys from 2013, 2015, and 2022 for the Greater Raleigh, NC Area, with 1-meter resolution. A DEM of difference raster was also developed to represent change in elevation from 2015 to 2022. The 2015 and 2022 DEMs were selected for differencing because of the superior quality level (QL2) of base lidar data used to develop the DEMs compared with the poorer quality level (QL3) of base lidar data used to develop the 2013 DEM. The DEMs were developed to use as inputs to generate a suite of geomorphic metrics for use in a machine learning model to predict streambank erosion hotspots. All files are available as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF, meaning they are formatted to work on the cloud or can be directly downloaded.

Spatially-explicit Predictive Maps of Greater Sage-grouse Brood Selection Integrated with Brood Survival in Nevada and Northeastern California, USA

We used a hierarchical Bayesian modeling framework to estimate resource selection functions and survival for early and late brood-rearing stages of sage-grouse in relation to a broad suite of habitat characteristics evaluated at multiple spatial scales within the Great Basin from 2009 to 2019. Sage-grouse selected for greater perennial grass cover, higher relative elevations, and areas closer to springs and wet meadows during both early and late brood-rearing. Terrain characteristics, including heat load and aspect, were important in survival models, as was variation in shrub height. We also found strong evidence for higher survival for both early and late broods within previously burned areas, but survival within burned areas decreased as annual grass cover (i.e. cheatgrass, Bromus tectorum) increased. This interaction effect demonstrates how invasion of annual grasses into burned areas, which has become prevalent in Great Basin sagebrush ecosystems, can lead to maladaptive habitat selection by brood-rearing greater sage-grouse. Understanding these complex relationships aids wildlife conservation and habitat management as wildfire and annual grass cycles continue to accelerate across western ecosystems.

One-second USGS magnetic observatory data collected before 2013

The USGS Geomagnetism Program operates a network of magnetic observatories that collect vector and scalar magnetometer data for use in Earth main-field modeling, geophysics research, space physics research, and space weather hazard assessment and mitigation. Until mid-2011, only 1-minute time resolution magnetic field measurements were archived with the INTERMAGNET consortium following international magnetic observatory standards. 1-second time resolution magnetic field measurements, which had already been collected by all the USGS observatories for up to almost a decade prior, started being archived with INTERMAGNET on June 13, 2011, or July 27, 2012 in the case of the more recently constructed Deadhorse (DED) magnetic observatory. This data release contains 1-second time resolution magnetic field measurements collected up through the end of 2012, after which time 1-second data from USGS magnetic observatories may be obtained from INTERMAGNET. There is some overlap between data in this release and those data archived with INTERMAGNET. Any discrepancies that may exist between these two data sources should resolve in favor of INTERMAGNET.

Images and Identifications of Wild Bees Collected in Eastern Iowa, 2019

Bees were collected in 24 fields across eastern Iowa in summer 2019. This data collection was part of a pesticide study funded by the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area- Environmental Health Program.  Bees were collected using the sweep net method and then were immediately placed on dry ice in the field. Bees were kept frozen to prevent degradation. In the lab, each wild bee was photographed from one or more angles using an AmScope microscope fitted with an MU1400 digital camera at 20x magnification. Bees were then morphologically identified based on the images. All images were checked for quality control before they were archived on this site. This data release includes 1) a txt file with bee identifications and image names, 2) zipped images of the bees, and 3) a text file with alternative text for each image.

Hawai‘i Island ʻōpeʻapeʻa (Hawaiian hoary bat; Lasiurus semotus) mist netting effort, capture, and tag retention, 2018–2021

‘Ōpe‘ape‘a (Hawaiian hoary bats; Lasiurus semotus) were surveyed at 23 sites on Hawaiʻi Island from 33 to 2,341 m elevation from May 2018 to August 2021. Of the 23 sites, 8 were established as fixed survey sites for sampling at repeated intervals from January 2019 through January 2021. We surveyed each fixed site at least once per four-month period (January–April, May–August, September–December), with a survey comprising one to three netting events. Additional opportunistic surveys were conducted at alternate sites or on alternate dates. We captured 138 unique bats (37 female, 101 male) and recaptured 10 bats over 224 mist-netting events. Of the total 148 captured bats we affixed 131 with radio transmitters and attempted to relocate 127 (38 female; 89 male; 120 adult; 7 juvenile) bats in trees or forest stands used for day roosts on subsequent days of tracking. Of 91 bats (32 female; 59 male) relocated, males retained transmitters longer than females with a mean low estimate of 9 ± 6 days for males and 6 ± 4 days for females (time from capture to the last day a signal was confirmed). 
This data release consists of three tabular datasets: (1) Hawaiʻi Island ʻōpeʻapeʻa mist netting effort, 2018–2021, (2) Hawai‘i Island ʻōpeʻapeʻa captures, 2018–2021, and (3) Hawaiʻi Island ʻōpeʻapeʻa transmitter retention, 2018-2021.

Argon and SHRIMP-RG Data for Magmatic Steam Alunite, Sericite, and Zircon from Alunite Ridge and Deer Trail Mountain, Marysvale, Utah

Samples of vein-type magmatic-steam alunite were collected over several field seasons from five mines and prospects (L&amp;N, Mt. Edna, Christmas, upper Mineral Products, and Close In) in the Alunite Ridge and Deer Trail Mountain area, Marysvale, Utah, as well as a sample from the Deer Trail mine workings from which sericite was separated. The magmatic-steam alunite and sericite were analyzed by the 40Ar/39Ar method to constrain the timing and duration of magmatic activity associated with the intrusion of two porphyry stocks beneath Alunite Ridge and Deer Trail Mountain. In addition, a sample of a highly altered rhyolitic quartz porphyry dike was collected from the upper Mineral Products mine, from which zircons were separated and analyzed using a sensitive high resolution ion microprobe reverse geometry (SHRIMP-RG) to determine a U/Pb date and quantify trace element concentrations. The rhyolitic dike is Oligocene in age (ca. 30.7 Ma), and our results indicate additional work is needed to refine the chronology of the Bullion Canyon Volcanics which are cut by the dike. Our magmatic-steam alunite and sericite results indicate there where two spatially and temporally distinct periods of episodic magmatic hydrothermal activity in the Miocene from ca. 15.7–15.1 Ma and from ca. 14.7–13.8 Ma. These results refine the chronology of hydrothermal activity associated with concealed porphyry stocks, and demonstrates the utility of high precision geochronology as an exploration tool for locating and characterizing deeply concealed porphyry systems.
