Genetic and morphologic characteristics of cattail (Typha) taxa of the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States (2018)

Cattail (Typha) is a common plant found throughout the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of the United State. Typha x glauca, a hybrid between Typha latifolia and Typha angustifolia, is considered an invasive species that has spread across the PPR, negatively impacting the regions important wetlands and other aquatic habitats. The distribution of the various cattail taxa, however, is not well understood in the PPR. This data release reports genetic and morphologic data from a study intended to assess the distribution of the invasive hybrid cattail. Genetic-based taxonomic data (cattail taxa) are provided from nearly 500 cattail tissue samples collected from over 80 PPR wetlands.

National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Yukon Flats Assessment Area (002) Boundary

The USGS Central Region Energy Team assesses oil and gas resources of the United States.  The onshore and State water areas of the United States comprise 71 provinces.  Within these provinces, Total Petroleum Systems are defined and Assessment Units are defined and assessed.  Each of these provinces is defined geologically, and most province boundaries are defined by major geologic changes.  
The Yukon Flats Assessment Area is located in east-central Alaska, encompassing part of Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area County in Alaska. The main population centers within the study area are Fort Yukon, Venetie, Stevens Village, and Beaver, Alaska.  The main highways, State Route 4 and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System crosses the western tip of the Yukon Flats Assessment Area and State Route 6 enters the Yukon Flats Assessment Area near the south-east corner approximately 7 km east of Miller House Alaska, and travels north-east to Circle, Alaska on the Yukon River. The Yukon River and Porcupine River and their tributaries drain the area.  For this study the Yukon Flats Assessment Area is a region of low, forested hills and flatlands with numerous streams and lakes, situated generally to the east of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. The assessment area boundary was drawn to include the geologic structures generally considered to be in or bounding the Yukon Flats Assessment Area.

Data for the Comparison of Computed Flow Through Manually Operated Water Control Structures in Florida Using Theoretical Versus Calibrated Coefficients

Discharge through 13 water control structures in Florida was calculated using theoretical equations and coefficients and compared to USGS-published discharge from October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2019. The two daily mean discharges were not compared for any values below 10 cubic feet per second or if (1) any alterations were made to the published discharge to account for factors such as debris or construction; (2) any values were missing throughout the day; (3) the flow regime changed during the day; or (4) the published discharge was estimated. The structures compared include a mixture of sluice and radial gates with free and submerged conditions for orifice and weir flow. The theoretical discharges, published discharges, and percent differences are included in this data release.

Seasonal Future Prescribed Burn Windows for the Southeast United States - March - May 2010-2099 RCP 8.5

Prescribed burning is a critical tool for managing wildfire risks and meeting ecological objectives, but its safe and effective application requires that specific meteorological criteria are met. This dataset contains results from a study examining the potential impacts of projected climatic change on prescribed burning in the southeastern United States. A set of burn window criteria (suitable weather conditions within which burning may occur based on maximum daily temperature, daily average relative humidity, and daily average wind speed), were applied to projections from an ensemble of Global Climate Models (GCM) under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios, as well as past observations for comparison. Data are provided as decadal output for observed conditions, and for individual GCM results for the historical climate scenario and the two future climate scenarios are provided. In addition, summary statistics (e.g., multi-model mean, and for selected quantiles) are provided for the GCM ensemble as a whole by decade.

Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources for Haw Creek, Indiana

The Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources (WATER-KY; Williamson and others, 2009) provides the ability to simulate streamflow for ungaged basins. This model integrates TOPMODEL (Beven and Kirkby, 1979) for pervious portions of the landscape with simulation of flow generated from impervious surfaces (USDA, 1986). A restructured version of this decision support tool translates the abilities of WATER to a format that can be used without proprietary software (Williamson and others, 2021). Additional functionality has also been added to include hydrologic response units (HRUs) that are defined based on three fundamental land-use categories: forest, agricultural land, and developed areas, based on subsequent development of WATER for the Delaware River Basin (Williamson and others, 2015). This refinement for agricultural areas, combined with the new software environment that enables easy substitution of precipitation and temperature data was used to develop a method focused on recent conditions in order to simulate daily peak streamflow for forecasted precipitation totals as well as the associated stage in order to identify if flood conditions are possible.

Multichannel seismic-reflection and navigation data collected using SIG ELC1200 and Applied Acoustics Delta sparkers and Geometrics GeoEel digital streamers during USGS field activity 2020-014-FA, Southwest of Puerto Rico, March 2020

In March 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez (UPRM) Department of Marine Sciences conducted a marine seismic-reflection experiment focused on observing geophysical evidence of submarine faulting and mass wasting related to the southwestern Puerto Rico seismic sequence of 2019–20. The seismic sequence culminated with a magnitude 6.4 earthquake centered beneath Guayanilla Canyon on January 7, 2020 and caused shoreline subsidence, rockfalls, and considerable damage to buildings. The survey was conducted during March 7–13 out of the UPRM Isla Magueyes Laboratories aboard the research vessel Sultana. Approximately 226 line kilometers of multichannel seismic reflection data were collected across the insular shelf and upper slope of the Caribbean Sea between La Parguera and Guayanilla Bay and offshore in the vicinity of Guayanilla Canyon. The seismic profiles image up to 0.5 seconds (approximately 0.5 kilometers) of the sedimentary section beneath the sea floor and provide evidence of faults and mass wasting.
