Statistical daily streamflow estimates at HUC12 outlets in the conterminous United States, Water Years 1981-2017

This data release contains daily time series estimates of natural streamflow at the outlets of more than 80,000 12-digit hydrologic units in 19 study regions across the conterminous U.S. from October 1, 1980 through September 30, 2017, using three statistical techniques: Nearest-Neighbor Drainage Area Ratio (NNDAR), Map-Correlation Drainage Area Ratio (MCDAR), and Ordinary Kriging of the logarithms of discharge per unit area (OKDAR).  Location information and drainage areas for index gages were obtained from the "Reference" gages of the GAGES-II dataset (Falcone, 2011, https://water.usgs.gov/lookup/getspatial?gagesII_Sept2011); location information and drainage areas for the HUC12 outlets were derived from attributes of the NHDPlus Version 2.1 (Price, 2016; Wieczorek and others, 2018).  Daily streamflow data for index gages were retrieved from the National Water Information System (NWIS) on September 7, 2018.  NNDAR and MCDAR estimates were computed following methods described by Farmer and others (2014).  OKDAR estimates were computed using pooled variograms for each study region following methods described by Farmer (2016).  The three sets of streamflow estimates represent expected natural streamflow conditions with minimal disturbance by human activities, in other words, without the effects of regulation, diversion, mining, or other anthropogenic activities.

2022 Organic Matter Research Lab Sacramento, California Full Spectra Absorbance Data

The  U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) California Water Science Center (CAWSC)  Organic Matter Research Laboratory (OMRL) provides laboratory services and support to regional and national projects in the analysis of organic matter using the latest methods in absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy. Optical measurements such as absorbance and fluorescence are used to gain insight into dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition, and can also serve as proxies for more expensive and difficult to obtain measurements. These techniques are relatively rapid and inexpensive and allow for the comprehensive tracking of DOM dynamics in aquatic ecosystems ranging from rivers and lakes to estuaries to open marine systems.  
Data presented here were analyzed by the U.S Geological Survey California Water Science Center Organic Matter Research Lab, Sacramento CA. This release contains full spectra absorbance data measured on the Aqualog ® fluorometer January-December 2022.

Long term dissolved oxygen concentrations in the metalimnion of Lake Powell reservoir and laboratory dissolved oxygen demand incubations from water and sediment collected in Lake Powell inflows and Chinle Wash

These data were compiled to better understand the controls on the magnitude of the metalimnion low dissolved oxygen zone in Lake Powell reservoir.  These data represent dissolved oxygen, total suspended sediment, and nutrient data collected during laboratory water and sediment incubations.  These data also represent summaries of summertime metalimnion dissolved oxygen concentrations at seven sites in Lake Powell, largely drawing from a pre-existing data release.  These data were collected in Lake Powell reservoir, in the inflow regions where the Colorado River and the San Juan River enter Lake Powell, and from the Chinle Wash, which flows into the San Juan River before its confluence with Lake Powell by the U.S. Geological Survey and in collaboration with the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service.  These data can be used to quantify dissolved oxygen demand and nutrient transformations in the Lake Powell inflows.  These data can also be used to evaluate patterns in summertime metalimnion dissolved oxygen, although we recommend users consult the original data release (Andrews and Deemer 2024) cited herein for this purpose given the more extensive nature of that dataset.

Offshore baseline for Delmarva North coastal region generated to calculate shoreline change rates from Cape Henlopen, Delaware to the southern end of Assateague Island, Virginia (DelmarvaN_baseline.shp)

Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate.  Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion.  As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes.  To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.  
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change.  Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments.  The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast.  The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Western Oregon-Washington Province (004) Quarter-Mile Cells

Cell maps for each oil and gas assessment unit were created by the USGS to illustrate the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in an assessment unit or province. Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing, gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, dry, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown. The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which is a proprietary, commercial database containing information for most oil and gas wells in the U.S. Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data. No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps.  The data from PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data were current as of 2006 when the cell maps were created in 2008.

Grayscale Shaded-Relief GeoTIFF Image Showing the 3-m Bathymetry Generated from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11079 in Great Round Shoal Channel, Offshore Massachusetts (H11079_UTM_GSHS.TIF, UTM Zone 19)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from multibeam echo-sounder and sidescan sonar data collected in Great Round Shoal Channel, a passage through the shoals at the eastern entrance to Nantucket Sound, off Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  In June 2006, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconaissance survey.

MODFLOW 6 models used to simulate the long-term average surficial groundwater system for the contiguous United States

Seventy-five steady-state two-dimensional groundwater flow (MODFLOW-6) models 
of the shallow groundwater system were developed to map depth to water and 
estimate effective surficial transmissivity for the contiguous United States (CONUS). 
The models were driven by spatially-distributed recharge estimated by Reitz et al. 
(https://doi.org/10.5066/F7PN93P0) using average water-budget information for 
1985-2015 and calibrated against long-term average water levels in observation wells, 
as well as, water-level estimates derived from perennial first-order streams and 
wetlands.  The development of the model input and output files included in this data 
release, as well as post-processing used to derive additional water-budget 
components also included in this data release, are documented in the Water 
Resources Research article (https://doi.org/10.1029/2019WR026724).
