Data and code release: Acute toxicity of TFM to multiple life stages of Obovaria subrotunda, its host (Percina maculata), and a surrogate species (O. olivaria)

The risk of lampricide applications (such as 4-Nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol, TFM) to non-target fauna continues to be a concern within the Great Lakes Fishery Commission sea lamprey control program, especially among imperiled aquatic species—such as native freshwater mussels. The Grand River (Ohio) is routinely treated for larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) and this river contains populations of the Round Hickorynut mussel (Obovaria subrotunda) which was Federally listed in 2023. Given the spatial overlap between areas treated with TFM and extant populations of O. subrotunda, information on its sensitivity to TFM is needed.  This dataset was used to evaluate the acute toxicity of TFM to O. olivaria and O. subrotunda, as well as Percina maculata (host for O. subrotunda glochidia). We found that in acute toxicity tests, the lampricide TFM was not toxic to glochidia and adult mussels at exposure concentrations that exceed typical treatment rates. Although significant dose-response relationships were observed in juveniles and host fish, mortality was ≤5% (P. maculata), ≤7% (O. olivaria), and ≤26% (O. subrotunda) at typical treatment rates. However, the steep slope of these dose-response relationships indicate that a ~20% difference in the treatment level can result in nearly an order of magnitude difference in mortality. Collectively, these data indicate that routine sea lamprey control operations are unlikely to acutely affect these species or their host; however, given that mussels are long-lived (30–100 y), the risks posed by lampricide treatments in the Great Lakes would be further informed by research on the long-term effects of lampricides on imperiled species.

Maps of elevation trend and detrended elevation for the Great Basin, USA

Topography provides information about the structural controls of the Great Basin and therefore information that may be used to identify favorable structural settings for geothermal systems. Specifically, local relative topography gives information about locations of faults and fault intersections relative to mountains, valleys, or at the transitions between. As part of U.S. Geological Survey efforts to engineer features that are useful for predicting geothermal resources, we construct a detrended elevation map that emphasizes local relative topography and highlights features that geologists use for identifying geothermal systems (i.e., providing machine learning algorithms with features that may improve predictive skill by emphasizing the information used by geologists). Herein, we provide the trend and local relative elevation maps documented in DeAngelo and others (2023), describing the process of removal of the regional trend and the resulting detrended elevation maps that emphasize basin-and-range scale structural features.
Regional elevation trends were estimated using a local linear regression and subtracted from a 30-m digital elevation model (DEM) of topography to create the detrended elevation (i.e., local relative topography) map; therefore one could add the detrended surface to the corresponding trend surface to construct the original DEM. In an effort to optimize the detrended surface, alternate versions were produced with different rates of smoothness resulting in three detrended elevation maps. The resulting detrended elevation maps emphasize geologic structure and relative displacement, and these products may be useful for other geologic research including mineral exploration, hydrologic research, and defining geologic provinces.

Data supporting the construction of the Three-Dimensional Geologic Map and Geology-based Seismic Velocity Model of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and surrounding region, California

This report includes the previously unpublished primary and derivative data sets that underpin the construction of the three dimensional (3D) geologic map of the upper part of the Earth's crust beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, California.  The primary data is X,Y,Z locations of stratigraphic horizons and, to a much lesser extent, geologic structures where penetrated by oil and gas wells in the subsurface as recorded in well logs and well records.  The derivative data sets were constructed to more closely constrain the principal stratigraphic horizons and geologic structures that were incorporated into the 3D model.  The derivative data sets are extracted from the principal data set or a combination of the principal data set with other previously published data.  This Data Release is not intended to be a stand-alone publication, but is only intended to release the digital data sets that undergird the related Scientific Investigations Report.  The information in this Data Release mainly describes the details of the contents and formats of the digital files.  The user is encouraged to refer to the main report for more discussion of sources and methods.

Concentrations and loads of phosphorus and suspended solids in the Fox River, Northeastern Wisconsin, 1989–2021

Concentrations and loads of total phosphorus, dissolved phosphorus, and suspended solids were estimated for three sites on the Lower Fox River for October 1988 through September 2021. The sites are the Fox River at Neenah-Menasha (040844105), Fox River at DePere (04085059), and Fox River at the Mouth (040851385). Data analysis was conducted with the Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS) method. Daily loads were estimated using the WRTDS method with Kalman filtering. To determine changes in loads over this period, the annual load results were flow-normalized to standardize for the varying flow dynamics that occurred among years. The model archive contains the R code for running the WRTDS model, functions used by the R code, and the input data files. The output folder contains WRTDS model output summarized by 1) water year, 2) water year and season, and 3) water year, season, and three specified values of discharge. The models folder contains the WRTDS model objects. This dataset includes a separate file with all phosphorus, nitrogen, and suspended solids sample data for the three study sites from 1973 to 2022. This file includes a column indicating who collected the samples.

Bathymetry of the Green River near Brownsville, Kentucky, July 2023

These data are bathymetry (river bottom elevation) in XYZ format (Easting, Northing, Elevation), generated from the July 24–25, 2023, and July 31, 2023, bathymetric survey of the Green River near Brownsville, Kentucky, from approximately 1.5 miles downstream from the Brownsville boat ramp to approximately 0.8 mile upstream from the former Green River Lock and Dam #6 site (3.8 miles total reach length). Hydrographic data were collected using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) with an integrated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) smart antenna. The ADCP and GNSS antenna were mounted on a marine survey vessel, and data were collected as the survey vessel traversed the river along planned survey lines. A total of 207 survey lines were oriented approximately perpendicular to the primary flow direction at variable spacing (generally spaced 100 feet apart but at a 500-foot spacing along the downstream portion of the reach and at 10- to 50-foot spacing in two areas of interest). Data collection software integrated and stored the depth and position data from the ADCP and GNSS antenna in real time. Water-surface elevations were measured approximately every 500 feet throughout the survey area with a survey-grade integrated GNSS system with real-time kinematic (RTK) observations to convert measured bathymetric depths to elevations referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). RTK observations were made using the Kentucky Continually Operating Reference System (KYCORS) network operated by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Data processing required computer software to extract the bathymetric data from the raw data files and to compile and map the information. The final comma-delimited file contains columns of Easting and Northing in feet North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) Kentucky State Plane Single Zone (FIPS code 1600), and Elevation in feet NAVD 88.

Macroinvertebrate communities in Shenandoah Valley streams, 2021

From  20 May - 8 June 2021, a Virginia Tech team of 2-3 sampled the macroinvertebrate community in 30 Shenandoah Valley streams (Virginia and West Virginia, USA) as part of a larger stream-health study including other teams who surveyed geomorphology, water quality, flow, temperature,fish community, and fish health at the same 30 streams. The macroinvertebrate community team also characterized the habitat units sampled for macroinvertebrates. At each stream, we sampled macroinvertebrates in two ways:1) in each stream we took 5 slack samples in riffles according to NAWQA protocol, and 2) we selected the most available and productive habitat where we used the Slack sampler to collect 5 additional samples in wood debris accumulations, undercut banks or leaf packs. Mesh size was 250 micrometer and samples were all taken for a known area. Other measurements included water temperature, electrical conductivity, and clarity, and percent of the reach comprising pool, riffle, and run habitats.

MODFLOW-NWT model used for the simulation of groundwater flow and analysis of groundwater availability in the Boone and Roubidoux aquifers in northeastern Oklahoma, 1980-2017

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), constructed a finite-difference numerical groundwater-flow model of the Boone and Roubidoux aquifers in northeastern Oklahoma by using MODFLOW-NWT (version 1.1.4) with the Newton formulation solver to simulate groundwater flow and account for the drying and rewetting of cells within the groundwater-flow model. The numerical groundwater-flow model was discretized into four layers consisting of 354 rows by 261 columns with a 2,000-feet by 2,000-feet cell size. The model layers were used to simulate the Western Interior Plains confining system, the Boone aquifer, the Ozark confining unit, and the Roubidoux aquifer. The model was temporally discretized into one steady-state stress period followed by 456 monthly transient stress periods spanning from January 1980 to December 2017. The steady-state stress period typically consisted of mean annual inputs from January 1980 to December 2017, but inputs from 1979 were included for some of the simulations.
