Estimates of groundwater flux from vertical temperature profiles within lakebed sediments at Lake Ozette, WA, October 2018 to April 2019

This dataset includes all files used to model groundwater-surface water exchange in the nearshore of Lake Ozette, WA, located within Olympic National Park. Sediment temperature data was collected continuously from October 2018 to April 2019 at multiple depths using temperature rods that were installed in the lakebed in a portion of the nearshore on the eastern shoreline of Lake Ozette. Temperature data was collected at depths of 1, 4, 7, 11, and 50 cm, depending on the length of the temperature rod, using internally logging iButton temperature sensors (model DS1922L). This data was part of a project that studied the impact of removing nearshore vegetation on the quality of spawning habitat of native Lake Ozette sockeye. The study area consisted of 3 areas where estimates of groundwater-surface water exchange were made. A spawning control (SC) where sockeye currently return to spawn; a vegetation control (VC) where nearshore vegetation inhibits the amount of sockeye spawning; and a vegetation treatment (TR) area where nearshore vegetation was manually removed to assess if habitat quality can be improved. 
Specific discharge across the sediment-water interface was estimated using the 1DTempPro V2 model; a USGS graphical user interface that solves a 1-dimensional heat flux equation (VS2DH). The 1DTempPro V2 model is available at https://code.usgs.gov/water/espd/hgb/1dtemppro. The 1DTempPro V2 model was run at 8 different sites within the study area at steady state using 1-week subsets of the data throughout the deployment period. All available depths were used from each temperature rod for the modeling of specific discharge. Note: a negative specific discharge indicates upward flow (groundwater discharge) into the lake. 
This data release contains the formatted sediment temperature time series data for each site (input.zip), the files needed to run the model (source.zip), and a summary of the specific discharge results at each site (output.zip). Additional details are provided in the readme.txt file.

Dissolved Oxygen, temperature, particle-size distribution, and groundwater flux in the nearshore of Lake Ozette, WA, October 2018 to May 2019

Particle-size data collected of the upper 25 cm of substrate was collected at 12 sites in October 2018 and May 2019 at Olsen's Beach in Lake Ozette, Clallam County, Washington. At emergent stations, the top 25 cm of substrate was collected using a shovel and was transferred into a bucket.  Bulk sediment samples were collected at submergent stations using a McNeil sampler inserted into the lakebed (McNeil and Ahnell, 1964) from which sediment was extracted by hand to a depth of 25 cm below the lakebed and residual water containing suspended sediment was sampled. Particle size distribution of sediment larger than 8 mm was sieved and weighed in the field and sediment less than 8 mm was sent to the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory (CVO) sediment laboratory for particle-size distribution analysis. The volume of residual water within the McNeil sampler was measured and its suspended sediment concentration was analyzed at USGS CVO.

USGS-derived 1-percent Annual Exceedance Probability Flood-Flow Estimates at Flood Insurance Study Locations Across Pennsylvania

One-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood-flow estimates were computed at flood insurance study (FIS) locations across Pennsylvania using methods identified in Scientific Investigation Report (SIR) 2019-5094.  Following guidance outlined in SIR 2016-5149, valid statistical reaches (VSRs) were identified for streamgages, which were used to assist with the determination of the applicable method used to compute a USGS-derived 1-percent AEP flood-flow estimate at an FIS location.  Methods included: weighting, weighting and transferring, and regression equations.  The USGS-derived 1-percent AEP flood-flow estimates were then compared to 1-percent AEP flood-flow estimates published in FIS's and furnished by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Subsurface dissolved Oxygen and sediment temperature at Lake Ozette, WA, October 2018 to May 2019

This dataset includes continuous dissolved oxygen and temperature data from the nearshore of Lake Ozette, WA. Data were collected using a HOBO (U26-001) dissolved oxygen/temperature sensor housed inside a self-contained  PVC well screen installed to a depth of 15cm in the lakebed. Data was collected continuously from October 2018 to May 2019. 
This data was part of a project that studied the impact of removing nearshore vegetation on the quality of spawning habitat of native Lake Ozette sockeye. The study area consisted of 3 areas where dissolved oxygen and temperature were collected. A spawning control (SC) where sockeye currently return to spawn; a vegetation control (VC) where nearshore vegetation inhibits the amount of sockeye spawning; and a vegetation treatment (TR) area where nearshore vegetation was manually removed to assess if habitat quality can be improved.

High-resolution spatial water-quality and discrete phytoplankton data, Owasco Lake, Seneca Lake, and Skaneateles Lake, Finger Lakes Region, New York, 2018-2019

From August 2018 to October 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey collected high-resolution spatial water quality from a total of five shoreline synoptic surveys conducted around the perimeters of Owasco Lake, Seneca Lake, and Skaneateles Lake within the Finger Lakes Region. Water-quality data were collected just below water surface utilizing YSI EXO2 multiparameter sondes and portable nitrate sensors paired with real-time GPS data collection as part of an Advanced HABs Monitoring Program in the Finger Lakes Region. In October 2019, water-quality data collection was paired with discrete phytoplankton grab samples on Owasco Lake and Seneca Lake. Phytoplankton grab samples were collected just below water surface with a peristaltic pump at twelve unique locations on each of the two lakes.

Data release for Oxygen isotopes in terrestrial gastropod shells track Quaternary climate change in the American Southwest

Recent studies have shown the oxygen isotopic composition (δ18O) of modern terrestrial gastropod shells is determined largely by the δ18O of precipitation. This implies that fossil shells could be used to reconstruct the δ18O of paleo-precipitation as long as the hydrologic pathways of the local watershed and the shell isotope systematics are well understood. In this study, we measured the δ18O values of 456 individual gastropod shells collected from paleowetland deposits in the San Pedro Valley, Arizona that range in age from ~29.1 to 9.8 ka. Isotopic differences of up to 2‰ were identified between the four taxa analyzed (Succineidae, Pupilla hebes, Gastrocopta tappaniana, and Vallonia gracilicosta), with Succineidae shells yielding the highest values and V. gracilicosta shells exhibiting the lowest values. We used these data to construct an isotopic record that incorporates these taxonomic offsets, and found shell δ18O values increased by ~4‰ between the last glacial maximum and early Holocene, similar to the magnitude, direction, and rate of isotopic changes recorded by speleothems in the region. These results suggest the terrestrial gastropods analyzed here may be used as a proxy for past climate in a manner that is similar to speleothems, but with potentially much greater spatial coverage.
