Unvegetated to vegetated ratio of marsh units in north shore Long Island salt marsh complex, New York

This data release contains coastal wetland synthesis products for the geographic region of north shore Long Island, New York. Metrics for resiliency, including unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), marsh elevation, and mean tidal range, are calculated for smaller units delineated from a Digital Elevation Model, providing the spatial variability of physical factors that influence wetland health.  Through scientific efforts initiated with the Hurricane Sandy Science Plan, the U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands with the intent of providing Federal, State, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services.

Mineralogy, chemistry and isotope composition of silica sinter deposits from the Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park

Summary: Siliceous sinter samples were collected from multiple geysers in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in 2018. These geyserite samples were collected and analyzed as a part of a multi-year research investigation into the age and geochemistry of hydrothermal features in the Upper Geyser Basin. Samples were collected along the stratigraphy of each feature. From these samples, we report 10Be, U-series, and 14C ages. Samples collected from Giant and Castle Geyser were further analyzed for their mineralogy, major and trace element concentrations, water content, and rare earth elements. This research was conducted under Yellowstone Research Permits YELL-2018-SCI-8030 and YELL-2018-SCI-5910.
Sample Collection: Sinter samples were collected from the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in April 2018, November 2018, and April 2019. Forty-eight samples of silica sinter were collected from 10 different hydrothermal features. At each geyser the best-exposed stratigraphy was identified and fist-sized samples were collected at approximately 1 meter intervals from the shield to the cone; samples were numbered sequentially. Geographic coordinates (WGS84, UTM Zone 12N) of each sample site  were obtained using a handheld GPS and all sites were photographed. Including duplicates, we report 46 total ages using carbon-14, beryllium-10, and uranium-thorium series dating methods.

Body condition score of horses wearing radio collars, weekly behavior data of treatments and controls, and monthly descriptive data of collar and radio tag effects, 2015-2016, Oklahoma, USA

These data are from a study of wild horses and burros wearing radio collars in a captive facility in Oklahoma, USA, for one year. We also evaluated radio transmitter tags (braided into the mane and tails of horses but not burros). We recorded behavior, body condition score, and effects of collars on the necks of horses and burros wearing radio collars and of horses and burros not wearing collars (controls), and recorded any behavioral effects from small radio transmitters on the mane and tails of horses  to evaluate effects. These data provide recorded results of behavior, body condition score, and any physical neck effects from radio collars, during weekly and monthly monitoring sessions from February 2015 to March 2016.

Acquisition and observation logs for seabed video and sediment samples from Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2013-044-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, November 5, 15, and 21, 2013

This field activity is part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. This cruise was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited 81 locations on Stellwagen Bank at which a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties.

Self-potential (SP) data collected in a mine-impacted wetland near Silverton, Colorado in September 2019

This child item contains self-potential (SP) data collected over a small alpine wetland between Mogul Mine and Cement Creek located near Silverton, Colorado.  Mine-impacted water is transported to Cement Creek via surface channels and groundwater through this wetland.  The SP method measures passive voltages in the subsurface using a high impedance voltmeter with one fixed electrode at a base station and one mobile electrode.  Strong self-potential anomalies have been associated with ore bodies and sharp redox fronts.  Data were collected with an Agilent U1252B multimeter with STELTH3 Ag-AgCl Model SRE-011-SPB porous pot electrodes.  Additional details are contained in the ‘readme.txt’ file within this directory.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) data collected in a mine-impacted wetland near Silverton, Colorado in September 2019

This child item contains ground penetrating radar (GPR) data collected over a small alpine wetland between Mogul Mine and Cement Creek located near Silverton, Colorado.  Mine-impacted water is transported to Cement Creek via surface channels and groundwater through this wetland.  The GPR method transmits radar pulses into the ground and measures the returned amplitude from these pulses over time. Variations in subsurface electromagnetic (EM) properties (dielectric permittivity, electrical conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility) affect the timing and amplitude of returned radar energy.  For example, variation in water or mineral content are physical properties that often influence the EM properties that are observed with GPR.  For these deployments a MALA GX monitor and 450 MHz HDR antennas were used and measurements were made over several transects within the wetland. Additional details are contained in the ‘readme.txt’ files within each zip data directory.

High-Resolution Aeromagnetic Survey of the Hanford Area, Washington

This data release provides access to a low-altitude, aeromagnetic survey of a part of south-central Washington centered approximately 30 km east of Yakima and referred to as the Hanford aeromagnetic survey.  The  survey includes the city of Richland, numerous smaller communities, and the Hanford Site (https://www.hanford.gov).   The Hanford aeromagnetic survey extends from the Columbia Plateau westward to the Cascade Range and illuminates magnetic anomalies associated with folds and faults of the Yakima folds, including the Toppenish Ridge, Ahtanum Ridge, Umtanum Ridge, Boyleston Mountain, Rattlesnake Mountain, Saddle Mountains, and Frenchman Hills anticlines.  These data were acquired during September and October, 2009, by Goldak Airborne Surveys working under contract to the U.S. Geological Survey.  Total magnetic field values were acquired using a fixed-wing aircraft flown at a target elevation 150 m above terrain and along flight lines and tie lines spaced 400 m and 4000 m apart, respectively.  Flight lines were directed north-south, and tie lines were directed east-west.  A total of 30,700 line-kilometers were acquired.  The details of the Hanford aeromagnetic survey are described in the document, Hanford_Tech_Report.pdf available for download in this data release.

Developmental Stages of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) eggs in the Sandusky River (ver. 3.0, July 2020)

Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella was imported to the United States in the 1960s for research into its usefulness as a biocontrol agent for nuisance aquatic vegetation. Escapees and intentionally stocked individuals founded wild, spawning populations in the Mississippi River and tributaries to the Laurentian Great Lakes. USGS-led research on the Sandusky River, a tributary to Lake Erie, demonstrated spawning of Grass Carp in 2015. In 2018, sampling with ichthyoplankton nets in the Sandusky River 11-13 June produced thousands of suspected fertilized Grass Carp eggs. Genetic analysis of 49 eggs identified by microscopic analysis as Grass Carp eggs confirmed all were from Grass Carp, demonstrating 100% accuracy of microscopic analysis. These data include the development stages of the eggs, along with the DNA sequences of a select subset of eggs. We used published keys to estimate developmental stage of eggs, which can be used in conjunction with hydraulic models to predict spawning and hatching locations and with genetic analyses to estimate numbers of spawning adults.

Water-quality Data

In 2015-2016, physicochemical properties and chemical characteristics of stream water, bed sediment, groundwater, and soil were determined in watersheds located outside of, but in proximity to, the Peason Ridge Training Area and Main Post at the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk boundaries to document background trace element concentrations. Water samples were analyzed for physicochemical properties, major inorganic ions, selected trace elements, and dissolved organic carbon. Selected trace elements included antimony, arsenic, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, and zinc. Stream bed-sediment and soil samples were analyzed for major inorganic ions, selected trace elements, and grain size distribution.
Surface-water samples were collected near the downstream transect of each stream reach. Monitoring wells were located adjacent to the stream reach and in close proximity to the surface-water sampling sites. Bulk bed-sediment samples were collected during normal low-flow conditions. Each sample consisted of a composite sample from five locations (right edge, left edge, and center of a middle transect, then upstream and downstream of the middle transect) within each stream reach. Three soil samples, one from hilltops, one from side slopes, and one from riparian zones, were collected from areas adjacent to each stream reach.  Each soil sample consisted of 5 to 10 grab samples collected by a 21-inch-long, 5/8-inch internal diameter stainless-steel hand auger and composited in Teflon lined pans. All samples were collected following USGS sampling protocols.
This data release provides database and mapping information for assessment of trace element concentrations in stream water, bed sediment, groundwater, and soil found in relatively pristine and undisturbed watersheds in proximity to watersheds used for military training.
