National Hydrologic Model's United States-Canada Transboundary Geospatial Fabric Parameter Database

This metadata record documents a set of 118 comma delimited files and a data dictionary describing the inputs for the U.S. Geological Survey Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) which is used to drive the National Hydrologic Model (NHM) for the United States-Canada transboundary domain. The National Hydrologic Model database contains parameters for hydrologic response units (HRUs) and stream segments needed to run the NHM. These parameters are generated using python scripts to process input datasets such as digital elevation models, soil maps, and land cover classifications. Many of the parameters were left at their default model value as they would need to be calibrated as part of the PRMS model development process. Please refer to the Supplemental Information and the Process Description elements of this metadata record for more details on the source datasets and scripts used to generate these parameters.

Geochronologic data from xenoliths near the Stillwater Complex, Montana

The Archean Stillwater Complex, a layered ultramafic-to-mafic intrusion, is exposed along the northern side of the Beartooth Mountains in Montana. To the north of the Stillwater outcrops, a gravity anomaly is located where Phanerozoic rocks may unconformably overlie the complex. These Phanerozoic rocks are intruded by Cretaceous plutons that have gabbroid inclusions that look like metamorphosed rocks of the Stillwater Complex. To determine the age of the inclusions, U-Pb isotopic data were collected on zircon in xenoliths from the Sliderock Mountain and Susie Peak plutons, Montana, using the sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe–reverse geometry (SHRIMP-RG) at Stanford University.

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar data from 2020 for landslides at Barry Arm Fjord, Alaska

Subaerial landslides at the head of Barry Arm Fjord in southern Alaska could generate tsunamis (if they rapidly failed into the Fjord) and are therefore a potential threat to people, marine interests, and infrastructure throughout the Prince William Sound region. Knowledge of ongoing landslide movement is essential to understanding the threat posed by the landslides. Because of the landslides’ remote location, field-based ground monitoring is challenging. Alternatively, periodic acquisition and interferometric processing of satellite-based synthetic aperture radar data provide an accurate means to remotely monitor landslide movement. Here, we present the interferometric results of tasked RADARSAT-2 satellite synthetic aperture radar data. Data were acquired from two ultrafine beam modes, U19 and U15, that are acquired over the landslide every 24-days, beginning on May 26, 2020 and June 2, 2020, respectively.

An assessment of uncertainties attributed by analysts,  array types and processing algorithms for microtremor  observations, using the phased 2018 COSMOS Blind Trials

In this study, the Consortium of Organizations for Strong Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS) blind trials used microtremor array data from four sites with geology ranging from deep alluvial valleys to an alpine valley. Data were incrementally released to approximately a dozen analysts in four phases: (1) 2-station linear arrays; (2) sparse triangular arrays; (3) complex nested triangular or circular arrays; (4) all available geological control including drillhole data. While data from one site consisted of recordings from 3-component sensors, the other three sites consisted of data from vertical-component sensors only. The sites covered a range of noise source distributions, ranging from one site with a highly directional microtremor wave field, to others with distributed or omni-directional wave fields.

Data on the efficacy of deltamethrin flea control with small rodents on prairie dog colonies in Montana and Utah, 2001-2004

Data on the efficacy of deltamethrin flea control with small rodents on prairie dog colonies in Montana and Utah, 2001-2004. Data were collected on 12 colonies of 3 prairie dog (PD) species at 5 sites in Montana and Utah. PD species included black-tailed PDs (Cynomys ludovicianus, BTPDs), Utah PDs (C. parvidens, UPDs), and white-tailed PDs (C. leucurus, WTPDs). Sample sizes from 6 small rodents (Species in the data file) were sufficient for analysis: deer mice, grasshopper mice, Ord’s kangaroo rats, hispid pocket mice, dark kangaroo mice, and sagebrush voles.
Efficacy of deltamethrin was assessed by combing fleas from live-trapped, anesthetized rodents on paired dusted and non-dusted plots (binary variable for DeltamethrinDust in the data file) in split colonies or separate adjacent colonies. Sampling of fleas occurred simultaneously on paired plots, thereby controlling for flea phenology when comparing flea parasitism on dusted and non-dusted plots. Each rodent was anesthetized with isoflurane and combed for 30 seconds (s) to remove fleas.
During sampling of small rodents, &gt;1 flea was found in only 5% of cases. No fleas were found in 88% of cases. Thus, we concentrated on indices of flea prevalence (FleaPrev in the data file) defined as detection or non-detection of at least 1 flea (binary 0/1).

Data for three-dimensional distribution of groundwater residence time metrics in the glaciated United States using metamodels trained on general numerical simulation models

Residence time distribution (RTD) is a critically important characteristic of groundwater flow systems; however, it cannot be measured directly. RTD can be inferred from tracer data with analytical models (few parameters) or with numerical models (many parameters). The second approach permits more variation in system properties but is used less frequently than the first because large-scale numerical models can be resource intensive. With the data and computer codes in this data release users can (1) reconstruct and run 115 General Simulation Models (GSMs) of groundwater flow, (2) calculate groundwater age metrics at selected GSM cells, (3) train a boosted regression tree model using the provided data, (4) predict three-dimensional continuous groundwater age metrics across the Glacial Principal Aquifer, and (5) predict tritium concentrations at wells for comparison with measured tritium concentrations. The computer codes in this data release are in the form of Python scripts and Jupyter Notebooks. Users will need to have these Python resources installed on their computers to run the codes. 
Instructions for creating the Python environment can be found in the file Creating the Python environment.txt.
Users who would rather not run the scripts but who wish to obtain the final data sets can do so by downloading the file Output--Predictions.7z. 
Users who wish to reproduce the data sets in this release can do so by downloading, unzipping, and running the data workflow in Starn_GW_Residence_Time_Data_and_Scripts.7z. The codes in this file use relative pathnames, so the directory structure within this file should not be changed. The ".7z" file extension indicates 7-Zip files, http://www.7-zip.org
Executables--MODFLOW and MODPATH executable files provided for convenience. These are Windows 64-bit versions.
Step 1--Create General Simulation Models--Codes to create 115 GSMs
Step 2--Data preparation--Calculate residence time distributions at selected GSM cells
Step 3--Metamodel training--Train a boosted regression tree metamodel (XGBoost)
Step 4--Metamodel prediction--Predict age metrics throughout the Glacial Aquifer
Step 5--Tritium simulation --Calculate tritium concentration at selected wells

Ground control point locations for UAS survey of the intertidal zone at West Whidbey Island, WA, 2019-06-04

This portion of the data release presents the locations of the temporary ground control points (GCPs) used for the structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of the imagery collected during an unmanned aerial system (UAS) survey of the intertidal zone at West Whidbey Island, WA on 2019-06-04. Twenty-five temporary ground control points (GCPs) were distributed throughout the survey area to establish survey control. The GCPs consisted of a combination of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and "X" marks placed on the ground using temporary chalk. The GCP positions were measured using post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS, using corrections from a GPS base station located approximately 7 kilometers from the study area. The GCP positions are presented in a comma-delimited text file.

Topographic point cloud for the intertidal zone at West Whidbey Island, WA, 2019-06-04

This portion of the data release presents a topographic point cloud of the intertidal zone at West Whidbey Island, WA. The point cloud was derived from structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery collected with an unmanned aerial system (UAS) on 2019-06-04. The point cloud has 293,261,002 points with an average point density of 1,063 points per-square meter. The point cloud is tiled to reduce individual file sizes and is grouped within a zip file for downloading. Each point in the point cloud contains an explicit horizontal and vertical coordinate, color, intensity, and classification. Water portions of the point cloud were classified using a polygon digitized from the orthomosaic imagery derived from these surveys (also available in this data release). No other classifications were performed. The raw imagery used to create these point clouds was acquired using a UAS fitted with a Ricoh GR II digital camera featuring a global shutter. The UAS was flown on pre-programmed autonomous flight lines spaced to provide approximately 70 percent overlap between images from adjacent lines. The camera was triggered at 1 Hz using a built-in intervalometer. The UAS was flown at an approximate altitude of 70 meters above ground level (AGL), resulting in a nominal ground-sample-distance (GSD) of 1.8 centimeters per pixel. Additional imagery was collected with the camera in an oblique orientation toward the coastal bluff face to image vertical faces. The raw imagery was geotagged using positions from the UAS onboard single-frequency autonomous GPS. Twenty-five temporary ground control points (GCPs) were distributed throughout the survey area to establish survey control. The GCPs consisted of a combination of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and "X" marks placed on the ground using temporary chalk. The GCP positions were measured using post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS, using corrections from a GPS base station located approximately 7 kilometers from the study area. The point clouds are formatted in LAZ format (LAS 1.2 specification).
