Oblique Thermal Imaging of the Pisgah Lava Field, California Acquired March 2010

As part of a NASA-funded study of diurnal thermal imaging at a Mars analog site, we conducted simultaneous oblique thermal imaging and in situ temperature measurements within two regions of interest on the Pisgah lava field, near Ludlow, California. Both regions of interest contained either cave or cave-like alcoves. Data released in this report was collected from 03/23/2010 to 03/25/2010. The experiment was conducted at Pisgah lava field, which is located about 175 miles northeast of Los Angeles on Bureau of Land Management lands. Consisting of Quaternary basaltic lava and a cinder cone superimposed on alluvial deposits and lacustrine sediments of Lavic Lake playa (Dibblee, 1966), the flow is approximately 21,000 years old (Wise 1969)]. Extending ~18km to the west and 8 km to the southeast from the Pisgah cinder cone (Harter 2009), three eruption phases emitted both pahoehoe and a’a lava, which vary in thickness from 1 to 5 meters across the field (Gaddis, 1994). In addition to the lava flows, sections of the landscape were punctuated by desert pavements and sand deposits, which make the area ideal for thermal imaging of a range thermal physical properties. The cinder cone provided an appropriate vantage point for oblique imagery acquisition of the lava field. Thermal imaging of each ROI was conducted on consecutive days. Imagery was collected for the B-Cave ROI first and was more oblique than the Station 7 Trench ROI, which was acquired the next day.

Attributes for NHDPlus Version 2.1 Catchments and Modified Routing of Upstream Watersheds for the Conterminous United States: PRISM 30-Year Average Potential Evapotranspiration, 1971-2000

This tabular data set represents PRISM 30-year average Potential Evapotranspiration, 1971-2000 compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID.  The source data for the PRISM 30-year average Potential Evapotranspiration, 1971-2000 was produced by Hamon, 1961; DiLuzio and others, 2008. Units are millimeters per year. It should be noted this data set is discontinued and available only by contacting the PRISM Group at Oregon State University directly. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions.  Network-accumulated values are computed using two methods, 1) divergence-routed and 2) total cumulative drainage area. Both approaches use a modified routing database to navigate the NHDPlus reach network to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale. (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2018).

1:1,000,000-scale hydrographic areas and flow systems for the Great Basin carbonate and alluvial aquifer system of Nevada, Utah, and parts of adjacent states

This dataset was created in support of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study focusing 
on groundwater resources in the Great Basin carbonate and alluvial aquifer system (GBCAAS). 
The GBCAAS is a complex aquifer system comprised of both unconsolidated and bedrock 
formations covering an area of approximately 110,000 square miles. The aquifer system is 
situated in the eastern portion of the Great Basin Province of the western United States. 
The eastern Great Basin is experiencing rapid population growth and has some of the highest 
per capita water use in the Nation. These factors, combined with its arid setting, have levied 
intensive demand upon current groundwater resources and, thus, predictions of future shortages. 
Because of the large regional extent of the aquifer system, rapid growth in the region, and the 
reliance upon groundwater for urban populations, agriculture, and native habitats, the GBCAAS 
was selected by the USGS Water Resources program as part of the National Water Census 
Initiative to evaluate the nation's groundwater availability.
		
This dataset contains hydrographic area (HA) boundaries and polygons for the GBCAAS study 
area. The study area consists of 165 HAs based on Great Basin HAs defined by the USGS in 
1988 (Harrill and others, 1988; Buto, 2009). The study area is characterized by north-south 
trending alluvial basins separated by intervening mountain ranges. HA boundaries generally 
coincide with the topographic highs separating these basins but may also contain arbitrary 
divisions that have no topographic control. HAs generally consist of thick layers of unconsolidated 
geologic deposits in the basins and consolidated bedrock in the mountain ranges. The basins 
are underlain by bedrock at varying depths. Much of the bedrock in the study area consists of 
permeable carbonate and volcanic rock strata, both of which allow some degree of hydraulic 
connection between hydrographic areas. The hydrographic area boundaries in this dataset have 
been assigned a code identifying each boundary as a potential barrier, conduit, or neutral zone 
to groundwater flow between basins.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021 Site 0194 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

Interpretation of sea floor geologic units for Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts (BuzzardsBay_surfgeol, polygon shapefile; Geographic WGS 84)

Geologic, sediment texture, and physiographic zone maps characterize the sea floor of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. These maps were derived from interpretations of seismic-reflection profiles, high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, bottom photographs, and surficial sediment samples. The interpretation of the seismic stratigraphy and mapping of glacial and Holocene marine units provided a foundation on which the surficial maps were created. This mapping is a result of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management to characterize the surface and subsurface geologic framework offshore of Massachusetts.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) and fish capture data from Round Goby screening surveys on the Eastern Erie Canal, New York (ver. 2.0, May 2024)

The dataset is composed of four tables containing data collected during screening surveys for invasive Round Goby (Neogobius melanostomus) at 12 sites on the Eastern Erie Canal in New York between Oneida Lake and the Hudson River from 2016 to 2023. The sampling techniques and frequency of sampling were adapted over time to optimize the efficiency of the study effort. From 2016-2019 eDNA water sampling and traditional fish surveys using seining, trapping, and benthic trawling were conducted twice annually (spring and summer) at the 12 sites. From 2020-2022, eDNA water sampling and traditional fish surveys using benthic trawling and electrofishing were conducted twice annually (spring and summer). In 2023, benthic trawling and electrofishing were conducted once (summer). The 12 study sites were selected to be approximately equidistant apart (~ 20 km) while also taking advantage of suitable access points. Within a study site, the exact areas that were sampled were often staggered by 500 m or occasionally more in order to find appropriate habitat for each gear type (i.e., wadable habitat for seining and habitat free of snags for trawling). The first table "eDNAData" contains environmental DNA data, the second table "FishCaptureData" contains fish community data from the traditional fish sampling methods, the third table "GobyLWData" contains length and weight measurements for all captured Round Goby beginning in 2020, and the fourth table "SiteData" contains information on the 12 study sites.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.3 transects with end-point rate calculations for sheltered shorelines between the Colville River Delta and Point Barrow for the time period 1947 to 2005

The Arctic Coastal Plain of northern Alaska is an area of strategic economic importance to the United States, is home to remote Native American communities, and encompasses unique habitats of global significance. Coastal erosion along the north coast of Alaska is chronic, widespread, may be accelerating, and is threatening defense and energy-related infrastructure, natural shoreline habitats, and Native communities. There is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes across the United States. 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 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.

12-digit hydrologic unit outlet (pour) points for the NHDPlus V2.1 WBD snapshot

This USGS data release consists of three datasets representing three derived outlets or "pour points" for each 12-digit hydrologic unit (HU12) in the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) snapshot delivered with NHDPlus V2.1. The three related pour point locations, each delivered in a stand-alone dataset, are: "from" (fpp) and "to" (tpp) points that identify the location where flow leaves the HU12 polygon based on a flow direction raster, and a third "vector pour point" (vpp) selected "upstream" used to identify flow confluences near the "from" and "to" pour point locations. The points are derived from the NHDPlus V2.1 flow direction rasters and the WBD snapshot delivered with NHDPlus V2.1.
