Sediments of Block Island Sound acquired in 1966 (SAVARD66 shapefile)

A total of 84 surficial sediments samples were collected aboard two cruises from Block Island Sound as part of a Master's Thesis completed at the University of Rhode Island. Sampling was performed with a pipe dredge for most of the samples; a van veen grab was used for the remaining smaples.  The data presented in this source show the sediments distribution and elucidate the sedimentary environments and processes on this portion of the continental shelf.

Simulated constant-head boundary for the transient ground-water flow model, Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital data set represents the constant head-boundary used to simulate ground-water inflow or outflow 
at the lateral boundary of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) transient model. The 
area simulated by the DVRFS transient ground-water flow model is an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer 
region of southern Nevada and California. The hydraulic heads imposed at the constant-head cells were 
interpolated from a regional potentiometric surface ("Larger Work Citation", Appendix 1). Quantity of ground-
water flow at the constant-head boundary was estimated using water-budget and Darcy calculations ("Larger 
Work Citation", Appendix 2), and was used as observation information during calibration of the DVRFS model 
(Faunt and others, 2004). The DVRFS transient ground-water flow model is one of the most recent in a number 
of regional-scale models developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy 
(DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see "Larger 
Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8).

BS_Q21.TIF - Bering Sea U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (21 of 30) (LCC, 50 m, Clarke1866)

In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology, launched a program using the Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic (GLORIA) sidescan-sonar system to study the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). From 1986 through 1989, the USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted several surveys within the U.S. EEZ off Alaska. Four surveys during that time period (1986-1987) focused on the Bering Sea region. The results of these surveys were 30 digital mosaics of a 3 degree by 2 degree area with a 50-meter pixel resolution.

Airborne geophysical survey: Valdez

Aeromagnetic data were collected along flight lines by instruments in an aircraft that recorded magnetic-field intensity values and location. In surveys such as this one where the data were originally collected in digital form and not digitized from contour maps, the information we provide typically includes latitude, longitude, magnetic anomaly in nanoTeslas, and intermediate values used to derive the magnetic anomaly such as total magnetic field.

Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments by Major River Basins in the Conterminous United States: Average Saturation Excess-Overland Flow, 2002

This tabular data set represents the average value of saturation overland flow, in percent of total streamflow, 
compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment of selected Major River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006). 
The source data set is Saturation Overland Flow Estimated by TOPMODEL for the Conterminous United States 
(Wolock, 2003).
		
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 
(USEPA) ERF1_2 and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale surface-water quality 
modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill and others, 2011).
		
Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States covering New England 
and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi, 
and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi, Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf

National Hydrography Dataset Plus High Resolution (NHDPlus HR) - USGS                     National Map Downloadable Data Collection

The High Resolution National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus HR) is an integrated datset of geospatial data layers, including the most current National
                Hydrography Dataset (NHD), the 10-meter 3D Elevation Program Digital Elevation Model (3DEP DEM), and the National Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD). The NHDPlus HR combines the NHD, 3DEP DEMs, and WBD to create a stream network with linear referencing, feature naming, "value added attributes" (VAAs), elevation-derived catchments, and other features for hydrologic data analysis. The stream network with linear referencing is a system of data relationships applied to hydrographic systems so that one stream reach "flows" into another and "events" can be tied to and traced along the network. The VAAs provide capabilities for upstream and downstream navigation with linear referencing, analysis, and modeling. The elevation derived catchments are used to associate other landscape attributes, such as land cover, with stream segments.

Digital map of changes in water levels from predevelopment to 1980 for the High Plains aquifer in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming

This digital data set consists of contours of predevelopment to
1980 water-level elevation changes for the High Plains aquifer
in the central United States.  The High Plains aquifer extends
from south of 32 degrees to almost 44 degrees north latitude and
from 96 degrees 30 minutes to 106 degrees west longitude.  The
outcrop area covers 174,000 square miles and is present in
Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming.
This digital data set was created by digitizing the contours for
predevelopment to 1980 water-level elevation change from a
1:1,000,000-scale base map created by the U.S. Geological Survey

Structural Geology of the Mosier Creek Basin

A surficial and structural geologic map (SIR-2012-5002, fig. 2) was compiled to aid in 
the building of the three-dimensional geologic model.  The map covers 327 square miles in north-central 
Oregon and south-central Washington, and completely contains the study area defined by the Mosier-Rock-
Rowena Creek Watershed extents.  Surficial and structural geologic maps, cross-sections, and stratigraphic 
interpretations of well logs from previous reports were synthesized into this compilation map (Newcomb, 
1969; Swanson and others, 1981; Bela, 1982; Lite and Grondin, 1988; Kienle, 1995; and Jervey, 1996).  
The focus of this effort was to refine the geologic map within the study area to aid in construction of a three-
dimensional geologic model to be used as the foundation for groundwater flow simulation.  Areas outside 
of the study area boundary were given less attention.
The primary sources for surficial and structural geology were Lite and Grondin (1988) and Kienle (1995).  
Both extents together cover 78% of the geologic model area and represent the largest scales mapped.  
Individually each provides significant surficial and structural detail absent in other sources.  Where they 
overlap both maps are mostly in agreement with only subtle differences.  Both Lite and Grondin (1988) 
and Kienle (1995) together comprise all of the major structural components represented in the geologic 
model with the exception of the wrench fault associated with the Maupin trend.
Secondary sources for surficial and structural geology include Newcomb (1969), Swanson and others (1981), 
Bela (1982), and Jervey (1996).  Newcomb (1969) was used to delineate alluvium, landslide deposits, 
glaciofluvial deposits, and Chenowith Formation material outside of the Lite and Grondin (1988) and Kienle 
(1995) map boundaries in Oregon.  In the western portion of the map in Oregon and all of Washington, Bela 
(1982) was relied upon for surficial geology.  Bela (1982) also provided all of the structural content outside the 
area covered by Lite and Grondin (1988) and Keinle (1995), with additional detail provided by Swanson and 
others (1981) and Jervey (1996).

Sediment Physical Properties Data from Sediment Cores Collected in March 2012 Along the Northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana (U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity Numbers 12BIM01)

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center collected a set of sediment cores from the back-barrier environments along the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, in March 2012. The sampling efforts were part of a larger USGS study to evaluate effects on the geomorphology of the Chandeleur Islands following the construction of an artificial sand berm to reduce oil transport onto federally managed lands. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of the back-barrier tidal and wetland environments to the berm. This report serves as an archive for sedimentological and radiochemical data derived from the sediment cores. The data described in this report is available for download.

Columbia River ESTR00030 Seismic Shotpoint Navigation every 100 shots

A two-week field operation was conducted in the John Day Reservoir on the Columbia River to image the floor of the pool, to measure the distribution and thickness of post-impoundment sediment, and to verify these geophysical data with video photography and bottom sediment samples. The field program was a cooperative effort between the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Team of the Geologic Division and the USGS Columbia River Research Laboratory of the Biological Resources Division. The data collection was completed aboard the R/V ESTERO during September 13-27, 2000. The interest in sediment accumulation in the reservoir was two-fold. First, it was unknown how effective this reservoir was as a sediment trap to material that otherwise would have been transported down-river to the estuary and eventually to the ocean. The recent erosion of beaches along the Washington coast has been attributed to a decreased contribution of sediment from the Columbia River to the coastal system due to the damming of the river. Second, sediment accumulation on the floors of reservoirs along the Columbia River has been suggested to be diminishing salmon spawning grounds. The extent of changes in habitat since construction of the John Day Dam, however, had not been documented. Common data sets were needed to address both of these questions, and for these reasons this geophysical and sampling program was undertaken.
