Datasets and R scripts used for the water-budget analysis of the Medina and Diversion Lake system, Bandera, Bexar, and Medina Counties, Texas, 1955–2022

The U.S. Geological Survey—in cooperation with the San Antonio Water System and the Edwards Aquifer Authority—used data collected during four different periods (March 1955–August 1964, October 1995–September 1996, March 2001–June 2002, and March 2017–October 2022) as part of a new study to refine previously derived relations between the altitude of the water surface of Medina Lake and recharge to the Edwards aquifer and the upper zone of the Trinity aquifer in the form of seepage losses from the Medina Lake and the immediately downstream Diversion Lake. Any seepage losses that occur within the conservation pools of Medina and Diversion Lakes infiltrate the Edwards aquifer and the upper zone of the Trinity aquifer as recharge.  This data release contains hydrologic data collected during 1955–2022; meteorological data collected during 2017–22; three R script files used to analyze streamflow data for the purpose of estimating discharge from ungaged drainage areas; and a R script file used to do a statistical analysis of the hydrologic data compiled during the 1955–2022 study and which also provides a mathematical equation that relates Medina Lake stage to recharge to the Edwards aquifer and upper zone of the Trinity aquifer.

USGS National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Hydrogen Index (HI), Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin Province Assessment Units

The hydrogen index (HI) is a parameter obtained from Rock-Eval data which reflects general hydrocarbon generation and maturation trends in petroleum systems. In the Mississippian Barnett Shale, the hydrogen index was used to map general boundaries between regions of oil and gas generation within the extents of the formation. Hydrogen index values were obtained via Rock-Eval analyses of Barnett Shale core samples. In this system, HI values greater than 100 represent primarily oil generation and HI values less than 100 represent primarily gas generation. Secondary gas generation is indicated by HI values less than 50. In addition, the 100 HI line was utilized to establish part of the assessment unit (AU) boundaries for the 2015 assessment of shale gas and shale oil resources of the Barnett Shale in the Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin Province. The AU represents the fundamental boundary used in the National and Global Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources.

Geomorphic basemap for the Colorado River in Grand Canyon, Arizona - May 2009

These spatial data represent alluvial deposits of the Colorado River and tributary deposits adjacent to the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. The map covers the river corridor from Lees Ferry, Arizona to the confluence with Diamond Creek 225 miles (362 km) downstream. The alluvial deposits of the Colorado River are mapped as either sand or gravel based on surface composition and the sand deposits are further subdivided based on sandbar type (Schmidt, 1990; Mueller and others, 2018). The alluvial deposits are also subdivided based on whether they are bare sediment or covered by dense riparian vegetation. The tributary deposits consist primarily of tributary debris fans, which are coarse-grained material transported by tributary flash floods and debris flows (Webb and others, 1989). The source data for creating the alluvial and tributary deposit features were orthorectified, 25-cm resolution, color aerial photographs (described in Davis, 2012). The map units, represented as vector polygon features, were hand digitized on-screen with these images as a background base layer. The map depicts conditions at the time the base images were collected, which was May 2009 while the Colorado River was flowing at a steady flow of approximately 8,000 ft3/s (227 m3/s). In addition to mapping the deposits exposed above the water surface, the wetted channel was also mapped and subdivided based on general hydraulic characteristics. The primary distinction was between portions of the channel with only downstream flow at 8,000 ft3/s and portions of the channel with lateral flow separation zones, or eddies. The alluvial, channel, and tributary fan deposits are also grouped based on the debris-fan eddy complex unit (Schmidt and Rubin, 1995).

Black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) mouth gape and size preference of a bivalve prey

These data represent the measurements of length and mouth gape from large juvenile and adult wild-caught and small juvenile hatchery origin black carp, and the results of laboratory size preference trials with bivalve prey, specifically Corbicula clams. Wild-caught black carp ranged from 429-1580 mm total length, a larger range than measured in previous studies. Corbicula feeding trial data consist of the shell dimensions of each clam, survival, and the frequency which clams were engulfed by black carp.

Raster representing climate resilient core sagebrush and growth opportunity areas on federal lands

This dataset contains a raster representing current (2017-2020) core sagebrush, growth opportunity areas, and other rangelands on tribal and federal lands that are estimated to be climate resilient into the future (2030-2060). We determined climate-resiliency by comparing current (2017-2020) core sagebrush, growth opportunity areas, and other rangelands to estimated future (2030-2060) conditions of core and growth opportunity areas under mid-century climate change (Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5) conditions (Doherty et al. 2022). The Department of the Interior (DOI) Sagebrush Keystone Initiative (KI) team worked with partners to identify areas within the sagebrush biome for strategic investments in conservation and restoration actions to ‘defend and grow the core’. We used this raster to identify areas of the sagebrush biome that have high ecological value, resilience to climate change, and existing collaborative partner capacities that will facilitate delivery of on-the-ground actions. We call these areas "Sagebrush Collaborative Restoration Landscapes" or SCRL (see "SCRL.shp" in SagebrushCollaborativeRestorationLandscapes.zip).

MODFLOW-2005 and MODPATH used to simulate the hydrologic system and transport of contaminants near Joint Base Cape Cod, Western Cape Cod, Massachusetts

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, 
developed a numerical, steady-state regional model, using MODFLOW-2005, to 
evaluate current (2010) conditions and the potential effects of future (2030) 
groundwater withdrawals on water levels, streamflows, hydraulic gradients, and 
advective transport near the Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC).  Two numerical models 
were used in this analysis.  An existing two-dimensional (one layer) model (termed
 the “coast model”), developed as part of a previous investigation of the potential 
effects of sea-level rise on the Cape Cod aquifer system (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165058), 
simulates the position of the freshwater/saltwater interface by using MODFLOW-2005 with 
the SWI2 module.  The regional model is a steady-state, three-dimensional (32 layers) 
model, which incorporates that interface position, and is capable of representing 
hydrologic conditions on the Sagamore flow lens and advective transport in and near 
the JBCC.  Particle-tracking analysis using the MODPATH program 
(https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr94464), was done to represent the 
advective transport of conservative solutes in the aquifer.  A number of underlying 
assumptions inherent in the model, including observations and weights used in the 
calibration, representation of local-scale heterogeneity, and simulation of the 
freshwater/saltwater interface, could affect model calibration and predictions; these 
assumptions were evaluated with alternate models and alternate inverse calibrations. 
Alternate calibrations were performed in which different, but reasonable, observations 
and weights were used. In addition, a set of alternate models, in which silts were 
represented with different correlation distances and hydraulic conductivities, were 
done to evaluate if explicitly representing silt lenses could affect model calibration. 
Finally, two alternate models representing silty and sandy sea bottoms and their 
associated interface positions were developed to test the importance of the 
assumed coastal-boundary condition. This USGS data release contains all of the 
input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model 
documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185139).

Terrestrial-Based Lidar Beach Topography of Fire Island, New York, May 2015 - DEM data

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) and the USGS Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center (LMG WSC) in Montgomery, Alabama, collected terrestrial-based light detection and ranging (T-lidar) elevation data at Fire Island, New York.  The data were collected on May 18, 2015 as part of the ongoing beach monitoring within Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Project GS2-2B, and will be used to document and assess the morphological storm response and post-storm beach recovery.  The survey extended along 30 kilometers(km) of the Fire Island National Seashore, from the eastern boundary of Robert Moses State Park to the  western boundary of Smith Point County Park. This USGS Data Release includes the resulting processed elevation point data (xyz) and an interpolated digital elevation model (DEM). For further information regarding data collection and/or processing methods, refer to previously published USGS Data Series 980 (https://doi.org/10.3133/ds980).
