Inter-vessel comparison of hydroacoustic fish density in central Lake Erie, 2014

Hydroacoustic estimates of fish density are used for fisheries management in central Lake Erie. Data are sometimes collected from multiple vessels, raising the question of comparability of data collected among vessels. Hydroacoustic data were collected along three cross-lake transects in central Lake Erie in July, 2014 from three different vessels using similar equipment. Several variables derived from hydroacoustic data and fish densities calculated from those variables were compared between the standard vessel used typically for hydroacoustic data collection and two other vessels used occasionally. The data used in those analyses are presented here.

Unsaturated zone soil properties near a dry well and Four-plex baseball field, Fort Irwin National Training Center, San Bernardino County, California, 2019-2020

The U.S. Army Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC), approximately 35 miles north-northeast of Barstow, California, obtains all of its potable water supply from three groundwater basins (Irwin, Langford, and Bicycle Basins) within the NTC boundaries. In these basins, groundwater withdrawals exceed natural recharge, resulting in water-level declines. However, managed aquifer recharge using recycled water (treated wastewater) has offset water-level declines in Irwin Basin. Additionally, localized water-quality changes have occurred in some parts of Irwin Basin as a result of human activities (for example, wastewater disposal practices, landscape irrigation, and (or) leaking pipes). As part of a research study in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) evaluated unsaturated zone soil property data of cores from a borehole for a newly drilled monitoring well near a dry well and irrigated 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 boreholes are located approximately 6 feet from each other. The grain size measurements were compared to a reference sample HMR2 collected as part of a previous study near Barstow.

Biomass Field Plot dataset: Tidal marsh biomass field samples for six regions in the conterminous United States (ver. 2.0, June 2020)

Remote sensing based maps of tidal marshes, both of their extents and carbon stocks, have the potential to play a key role in conducting greenhouse gas inventories and implementing climate mitigation policies. Our objective was to generate a single remote sensing model of tidal marsh aboveground biomass and carbon that represents nationally diverse tidal marshes within the conterminous United States (CONUS). To meet this objective we developed the first national-scale dataset of aboveground tidal marsh biomass, species composition, and aboveground plant carbon content (%C) from six CONUS regions: Cape Cod, MA, Chesapeake Bay, MD, Everglades, FL, Mississippi Delta, LA, San Francisco Bay, CA, and Puget Sound, WA. We tested how plant community composition and vegetation structure differences across estuaries influence model development, and whether data from multiple sensors, in particular Sentinel-1 C-band synthetic aperture radar and Landsat, can improve model performance. The final model, driven by six Landsat vegetation indices and with the soil adjusted vegetation index as the most important (n=409, RMSE=464 g/m2, 12.2% normalized RMSE), successfully predicted biomass and carbon for a range of marsh plant functional types defined by height, leaf angle and growth form. Model error was reduced by scaling field measured biomass by Landsat fraction green vegetation derived from object-based classification of National Agriculture Imagery Program imagery. We generated 30m resolution biomass maps for estuarine and palustrine emergent tidal marshes as indicated by a modified NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program map for each region. With a mean plant %C of 44.1% (n=1384, 95% C.I.=43.99% - 44.37%) we estimated mean aboveground carbon densities (Mg/ha) and total carbon stocks for each wetland type for each region. We applied a multivariate delta method to calculate uncertainties in regional carbon estimates that considered standard error in map area, mean biomass and mean %C.

Hg Concentrations of Fish Tissue Samples in the Vicinity of Yellow Pine, Idaho.

The USGS examined mercury (Hg) concentrations in fish populations inhabiting impacted and reference streams as part of an investigation into the transport of trace metals in a watershed impacted by legacy mercury mining downstream from the Cinnabar mine site, Valley County, ID. Fish were sampled through an electrofishing survey utilizing a two-pass quantitative depletion approach where possible. Five reaches were selected in the Sugar Creek/Cinnabar Creek watershed, including two background reaches (ID020; ID021) with negligible mining impacts, Cinnabar Creek above the confluence with Sugar Creek (ID019), and two sites on Sugar Creek below the confluence with Cinnabar Creek (ID018 and ID010). Juvenile Bull trout (S. confluentus) were present at all five monitoring sites, and specimens of similar size were selected under permitting with the US Fish and Wildlife Service for laboratory analysis. Sculpin (Cottus Sp.) were present in the two background reaches and on one Sugar Creek reach downstream from the Cinnabar mine site. Three Chinook Salmon (O. tshawytscha) samples were obtained through the Nez Perce Fisheries Resources Program from two carcasses found along Sugar Creek downstream of the Cinnabar mine site. Fish muscle tissue was sampled in the laboratory and analyzed for Hg concentrations by thermal decomposition, amalgamation, and atomic absorption spectrophotometry using direct Hg analyzers, DMA-80 and DMA-80 wide range (method detection limit 0.04 nanograms of mercury (ng Hg)). Lower Hg concentrations (mean ± two times the standard deviation in units of nanograms of mercury per gram of wet mass (ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass)), calculated after averaging replicate analyses of individual fish) were observed for fish from reference stream locations (86 ± 95 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass) for ID020 Bull Trout, 72 ± 24 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass) Hg for ID020 Sculpin, 55 ± 39 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass) for ID021 Bull Trout, 42 ± 18 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass) for ID021 Sculpin) compared to sites downstream from the Cinnabar mine site (207 ± 122 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass) for ID010 Bull Trout, 227 ± 93 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass) for ID018 Bull Trout, 323 ± 144 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass) for ID018 Sculpin, 267 ± 66 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass) for ID019 Bull Trout) and for salmon (192 ± 91 ng Hg g^-1 (wet mass)).

Towed transient electromagnetic (tTEM) surveys adjacent to the Tallahatchie River near Shellmound, Mississippi

Towed transient electromagnetic (tTEM) data were acquired adjacent to the Tallahatchie River during March 2018. During the survey, approximately 35 line-kilometers were collected in the Shellmound, Mississippi study area. Data were collected by members of the U.S. Geological Survey, Hydrogeophysics Branch, and the Aarhus University HydroGeophysics Group. FloaTEM data acquired near the Tallahatchie River in Leflore County, in Mississippi, were collected to characterize the subsurface resistivity structure in support of a U.S. Geological Survey groundwater investigation of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain.
tTEM data were collected using an Aarhus University HydroGeophysics Group tTEM unit using a transmitter loop (Tx) size, 4 by 2 meter square (m^2), in an offset-loop receiver (Rx) configuration utilizing a receiver coil that is 0.5 by 0.5 m^2 in size (with an effective area of 35 m^2) towed about 7 meters behind the Tx loop. The Tx loop was towed about 2.8m behind the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) The Tx outputs dual currents of about 3 and 30 amperes (A) for dual-moment transmission. The measurement cycles take approximately 0.5 seconds to complete and are comprised of several hundred individual transients that are averaged into 1D soundings along the profile. This data release includes the averaged, culled, and inverted tTEM data along the survey line that were used to produce the final resistivity models.  Digital data of the processed soundings are provided, and fields are defined in a data dictionary.
