MODFLOW2000_FMP1_1 model used to simulate the groundwater flow of the Central Valley Aquifer, California

A three-dimensional groundwater flow model (MODFLOW200-FMP1_1) of the Central Valley in 
California was developed to aid water managers in understanding how water moves through the 
aquifer system, to predict water-supply scenarios, and to address issues related to water 
competition.  The USGS Groundwater Resources Program made a detailed assessment of 
groundwater availability of the Central Valley aquifer system, which includes: 
(1) the present status of groundwater resources; 
(2) how these resources have changed over time; and 
(3) tools to assess system responses to stresses from future human uses and climate 
variability and change. This effort builds on previous investigations, such as the USGS 
Central Valley Regional Aquifer System and Analysis (CV-RASA) project and several 
other groundwater studies in the Valley completed by Federal, State and local agencies 
at differing scales. The principal product of this new assessment is a tool referred to as 
the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) that accounts for integrated, variable water 
supply and demand, and simulates surface-water and groundwater-flow across the entire 
Central Valley system.  The current model was extended to incorporate a slightly larger 
geographic area, has a finer spatial and temporal discretization, uses a more-detailed 
depiction of subsurface geology.  In addition, the model utilizes a modified version of 
MODFLOW2000 (version 1.15.03) to include an updated and refined Farm Process (FMP1) 
to simulate groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and 
other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly basis for April 1961 through 
September 2003. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for 
the simulation and calibration of the CVHM described in the associated model 
documentation report (https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1766).

Processed ground-based EM survey data

Shallow soil characteristics were mapped near Shellmound, Mississippi, using the DualEM 421 electromagnetic sensor in October 2018. Data were acquired by towing the DualEM sensor on a wheeled cart behind an ATV, with the sensor at a height of 0.432 meters (m) above the ground surface. Approximately 175 line-kilometers of data were acquired over an area of nearly four square kilometers, with 25 m separation between survey lines. Data were manually edited for noise sources such as powerlines or other buried structures, and averaged to regular output soundings every 5 m along survey lines. This data release contains the processed data that have been averaged and culled to produce final resistivity models. Digital data of the processed soundings are provided and fields are defined in the data dictionary.

Laboratory measurements of soil properties for core samples near a dry well and Four-plex baseball field, Fort Irwin National Training Center, San Bernardino County, California, 2019-2020

As part of a research study in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army at Fort Irwin National Training Center, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) evaluated unsaturated zone soil property data of cores from a newly drilled monitoring well site near a dry well and Four-plex baseball field. Measurements and observations are presented for cores from an initial drilling attempt (site ESW2A), which stopped at 85 feet below land surface due to equipment issues, and data are presented for cores from the successful drilling attempt (ESW2B) down to 240 feet below land surface. The two core sites are located approximately 6 feet from each other. Data measured on core material included gravimetric measurements of bulk water content, matric potential, and specific conductance of soil leachate samples.

Migration Stopovers of Mule Deer in the San Francisco Peaks Herd in Arizona

In 2008, 13 mule deer were GPS collared near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to understand the impact of Arizona’s State Route 64 on mule deer movement. Unexpectedly, 4 individuals migrated over 50 miles to summer range near the San Francisco Peaks, north of Flagstaff, containing alpine, subalpine, and ponderosa pine habitats. The GPS collars dropped in 2009, but questions surrounding this long-distance migration remained. In June of 2019, the Arizona Game and Fish Department GPS collared 20 mule deer from the San Francisco Peaks herd on their summer range in Game Management Unit 7E/7W, where an estimated 5,300 mule deer reside. The primary challenges to mule deer in this migration corridor are related to navigating highways. These deer must traverse two major highways, State Route 180 and State Route 64, which experience high traffic volumes from tourists visiting the Grand Canyon.
These data provide the location of migration stopovers for Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) from the San Francisco Peaks Herd in Arizona. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models using 6 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 4 adult mule deer comprising GPS locations collected every 2 hours.

MT across the Southern San Andreas Fault Zone California: Station mvx019

The Southern San Andreas fault (SSAF) poses one of the largest seismic risks in California. However, structural properties around Coachella Valley remain enigmatic. In 2019, we collected magnetotelluric soundings (MT) to help inform depth-dependent fault zone geometry, fluid content and porosity. This project was led by the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California San Diego in partnership with U.S. Geological Survey and funded in large part by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC).  The MT data were collected using Zonge International 32-bit ZEN data loggers with ANT-4 magnetic induction coils and Borin Ag-AgCl electrodes with 50 m dipoles. The ZEN was programmed to record continuously for ~8 hours at 256 samples per second with 10-minute burst sampling at 4096 samples per second in between for a total recording time of about 20 hours per site.  Transfer functions were estimated using the robust remote reference code EMTF (Egbert, 1997; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-246X.1997.tb05663.x). The data included here are for MT station mvx019. A shapefile with station information for all stations in this dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.5066/P990U7GE of data release.

5-m interval contours of smoothed multibeam bathymetry in western Massachusetts Bay map Quadrangle 3 (Q3_5MCTR.SHP)

The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor offshore of Massachusetts.  The mapping was carried out using a Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the Frederick G. Creed on four cruises conducted between 1994 and 1998.  The mapping was conducted in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick.
The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-resolution geologic maps and a Geographic Information System (GIS) project that presents images and grids of bathymetry, shaded relief bathymetry, and backscatter intensity data from these surveys that will serve the needs of research, management and the public.

2021 Illinois Waterway Aerial Imagery Mosaics - Peoria - South 4-Band

The Corps of Engineers' Rock Island District is planning an unprecedented closure of the Illinois Waterway in 2020 in order to perform required maintenance on locks. Aerial imagery will document river conditions prior to the closure (2019) and after the locks are reopened (2021). Under a separate but related effort, aerial imagery of the entire Illinois Waterway will be collected in 2020 as part of the decadal Upper Mississippi River System Land Cover/Land Use mapping project. 
The imagery has a resolution of approximately 0.4 meter/pixel (16 inches). The imagery was collected on September 16 and 17, 2021 with a Phase One iXU-R 180 RGB camera co-mounted with a Phase One iXU-RS 160 Achromatic camera to create 4-band imagery that can be displayed as either true-color (RGB) or color-infrared (CIR).

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Data for 1995-2017

The data set consists of twenty-four individual interferograms and two stacked interferograms. Of the twenty-four individual interferograms, two interferograms were processed from synthetic aperture radar data acquired by the German Aerospace Center’s (DLR) TerraSAR-X satellite and twenty-two interferograms were processed from synthetic aperture radar data acquired by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Sentinel-1A satellite. The two stacked interferograms were created by summing multiple individual interferograms. Radar data used to produce the interferograms shown in this report were obtained from the European Space Agency through their free and open data policy and the German Aerospace Center through research proposal GEO1609 for purposes of research and development.

Development: Development delineation: Cape Lookout, NC, 2014

Understanding how sea-level rise will affect coastal landforms and the species and habitats they support is critical for crafting approaches that balance the needs of humans and native species. Given this increasing need to forecast sea-level rise effects on barrier islands in the near and long terms, we are developing Bayesian networks to evaluate and to forecast the cascading effects of sea-level rise on shoreline change, barrier island state, and piping plover habitat availability. We use publicly available data products, such as lidar, orthophotography, and geomorphic feature sets derived from those, to extract metrics of barrier island characteristics at consistent sampling distances. The metrics are then incorporated into predictive models and the training data used to parameterize those models. This data release contains the extracted metrics of barrier island geomorphology and spatial data layers of habitat characteristics that are input to Bayesian networks for piping plover habitat availability and barrier island geomorphology. These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise.

PNG formatted images of Edgetech SB-512i chirp seismic-reflection profiles collected by the U.S. Geological Survey along the Delmarva Peninsula, MD and VA, 2014

The Delmarva Peninsula is a 220-kilometer-long headland, spit, and barrier island complex that was significantly affected by Hurricane Sandy. A U.S. Geological Survey cruise was conducted in the summer of 2014 to map the inner continental shelf of the Delmarva Peninsula using geophysical and sampling techniques to define the geologic framework that governs coastal system evolution at storm-event and longer timescales. Data collected during the 2014 cruise include swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, chirp and boomer seismic-reflection profiles, acoustic Doppler current profiler, and sample and bottom photograph data. Processed data in raster and vector format are released here for the swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and seismic-reflection profiles.  More information about the USGS survey conducted as part of the Hurricane Sandy Response-- Geologic Framework and Coastal Vulnerability Study can be found at the project website or on the WHCMSC Field Activity Web pages: https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/delmarva/ and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-002-FA

Digital Archive of the R.S. Thompson western United States Packrat Midden Collection

This data release provides a digital inventory of the Robert S. Thompson packrat midden collection consisting of 1,740 midden samples and subsamples primarily collected in the Great Basin region of Nevada, as well as in Arizona, California, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, and Washington, USA, by Robert S. Thompson (USGS scientist emeritus) and others between 1977 and 2006. Middens are waste piles composed of the urine and feces of packrats (Neotoma spp.) also containing plant materials, bones, and insects. Radiocarbon dating of middens indicates they can be preserved for as long as 50,000 years, and their fossil plant assemblages document changes in plant community composition through time, providing important records of paleoenvironmental change in western North America during the late Pleistocene and Holocene. Middens are valuable non-renewable paleoecologic resources, and once collected, middens and their contents cannot be reproduced. Since middens are one-of-a-kind, limited resources, it is critical to preserve specimens for future research. Upgrades to midden storage materials for long-term sample preservation, improved organization, and a digital sample inventory of the R.S. Thompson collection now provide opportunities for further study of plant fossil materials and paleoenvironmental change, as well as opportunities for novel midden-based research in fields such as evolutionary biology, genetics, biochemistry, and ecology. Middens also provide ideal materials for the application of new and advanced techniques in microscopy, age dating, and DNA analysis. Digital inventory data tables include, midden sample site location data, and descriptions of sample materials (unwashed, washed, or sorted) and midden contents (e.g., wood, seeds, or conifer needles). New specimen labels use unique collection IDs to identify samples/subsamples, which also correspond to midden samples documented in the USGS North American Packrat Midden Database, version 5.0 (Strickland and others, 2022, 2024) where additional data (plant macrofossil taxon lists and radiocarbon ages) can be accessed for some samples in the collection. The R.S. Thompson midden collection inventory is available as tabular (.xlsx) and comma-separated value (.csv) files.
