Measurements of vegetation, soil, and disturbance following utility-scale solar energy development in the Mojave Desert, 2021-2023

These data were compiled to evaluate the impact of a utility-scale solar energy (Gemini Solar + Storage) development on ecosystem function in the Mojave Desert. Objectives of our study were to identify the short-term effects of construction on soils and vegetation across plant communities and soil types. These data represent a before-after control-impact study to evaluate the effects of utility-scale solar energy development on plant communities and soil ecosystem functioning in the Mojave Desert. These data were collected in the Mojave Desert, approximately 50 km  northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) between 2021 and 2023. These data were collected by researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center using field observation and sampling protocols for the BLM. These data can be used for before-after control-impact evaluation of the construction of the Gemini solar facility on plant and soil variables.

Daily reference and potential evapotranspiration, and supporting meteorological data from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, solar insolation data from the GOES satellite, and blue-sky albedo data from the MODIS satellite, Southeastern United States, 2022 (ver. 1.1, August 2025)

Potential evapotranspiration (PET), and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at a 1-kilometer spatial resolution and daily time-scale from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 for Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and parts of Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. PET and ETo were computed on the basis of solar radiation, meteorological data (min/max temperature, min/max relative humidity, and mean wind speed at 2-meter height), and shortwave blue-sky albedo data. Solar radiation was computed from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sensor data, blue-sky albedo was computed from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) MCD43A1 BRDF/Albedo data product, and meteorological data were simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.

Pittsburgh Coal Bed Resource Areas in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland

The base of the Pittsburgh Coal bed and its stratigraphically (non-coal)
equivalent horizon is used to subdivide Upper Pennsylvanian Series strata
into the overlying Monongahela Group and the underlying Conemaugh Group
in the Appalachian Basin coal region. This dataset depicts areas in which
Pittsburgh coal resources were calculated and was obtained largely from
published maps. Because different coal thickness criteria
were used to delineate the line denoting known resources in Ohio versus
West Virginia, an offset is observed at the State boundaries.
This dataset is a polygon coverage of counties limited to the extent of
the Pittsburgh coal bed resource areas. The file has been generalized from
detailed coverages found elsewhere in Professional Paper 1625-C.

Ridge Crests within the inner shelf of Long Bay, South Carolina (RIDGE_CRESTS, Polyline shapefile)

In 1999, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in partnership with the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium, began a study to investigate processes affecting shoreline change along the northern coast of South Carolina, focusing on the Grand Strand region. Previous work along the U.S. Atlantic coast shows that the structure and composition of older geologic strata located seaward of the coast heavily influences the coastal behavior of areas with limited sediment supply, such as the Grand Strand. By defining this geologic framework and identifying the transport pathways and sinks of sediment, geoscientists are developing conceptual models of the present-day physical processes shaping the South Carolina coast. The primary objectives of this research effort are: 1) to provide a regional synthesis of the shallow geologic framework underlying the coastal upland, shoreface and inner continental shelf, and define its role in coastal evolution and modern beach behavior; 2) to identify and model the physical processes affecting coastal ocean circulation and sediment transport, and to define their role in shaping the modern shoreline; and 3) to identify sediment sources and transport pathways; leading to construction of a regional sediment budget.

Shot point navigation at 500-shot intervals collected by the U.S. Geological Survey within the St. Clair River between Michigan and Ontario, Canada, 2008 (ESRI VECTOR SHAPEFILE, 08016_Chirp_500SHT.SHP)

In 2008, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a geophysical and sampling survey of the riverbed of the Upper St. Clair River between Port Huron, MI, and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The objectives were to define the Quaternary geologic framework of the St. Clair River to evaluate the relationship between morphologic change of the riverbed and underlying stratigraphy. This report presents the geophysical and sample data collected from the St. Clair River, May 29-June 6, 2008 as part of the International Upper Great Lakes Study, a 5-year project funded by the International Joint Commission of the United States and Canada to examine whether physical changes in the St. Clair River are affecting water levels within the upper Great Lakes, to assess regulation plans for outflows from Lake Superior, and to examine the potential effect of climate change on the Great Lakes water levels ( http://www.iugls.org). This document makes available the data that were used in a separate report, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2009-1137, which detailed the interpretations of the Quaternary geologic framework of the region. This report includes a description of the suite of high-resolution acoustic and sediment-sampling systems that were used to map the morphology, surficial sediment distribution, and underlying geology of the Upper St. Clair River during USGS field activity 2008-016-FA . Video and photographs of the riverbed were also collected and are included in this data release. Future analyses will be focused on substrate erosion and its effects on river-channel morphology and geometry. Ultimately, the International Upper Great Lakes Study will attempt to determine where physical changes in the St. Clair River affect water flow and, subsequently, water levels in the Upper Great Lakes.

Umpqua River Oregon Aerial Photograph Data for 1967

The Umpqua River drains 12,103 square kilometers (4,673 square miles) in southwest Oregon before flowing 
into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay near the city of Reedsport. In cooperation with the Portland District 
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the USGS evaluated sediment transport and gravel storage 
along the downstream alluvial reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers and the entire mainstem Umpqua 
River. This includes the lower 46.8 kilometers (29.1 miles) of the North Umpqua River and the lower 122.6 
kilometers (76.2 miles) of the South Umpqua River. 
	 
The Umpqua River gravel transport study involved multiple analyses, including tracking patterns of historical 
channel change and estimation of a sediment budget. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were 
produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions along the Umpqua River system from different time periods.
		
GIS layers defining the active channel of the Umpqua River system were developed for three time periods: 
1939, 1967, and 2005. For the South Umpqua River and the 19 kilometers (12 miles) of the mainstem 
Umpqua River downstream from the confluence of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, GIS layers were 
also developed for the time periods 1994, 2000, and 2009.
		
For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and 
includes the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The 
active channel datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 
1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaiced for this project. Digital orthophotographs from 
1994, 2000, 2005, and 2009 are publicly available (See metadata for each photograph set for more 
information on the rectification process and resolution of each dataset). Although our study area 
encompasses the Umpqua River and lower reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, the 
extent of each dataset depended upon the underlying aerial photographs; for example, the 1967 
photographs extend only as far downstream as floodplain kilometer 7, whereas the 1939 and 2005 
datasets extend to the mouth of the Umpqua River at the Pacific Ocean.

Hydrodynamic time-series data from San Pablo Bay and Grizzly Bay  , California, 2019

Hydrodynamic and sediment transport time-series data, including water depth, velocity, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature, were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center within two embayments of San Francisco Bay. Data were collected in San Pablo Bay and Grizzly Bay   from June to August 2019 at seven unique stations. Data files are grouped by area (shallows of San Pablo Bay, channel of San Pablo Bay, and shallows of Grizzly Bay). Each shallow site contained a variety of sensors located on two tripods and one surface mooring, while the channel site consisted of one tripod. Users are advised to assess data quality carefully, and to check metadata for instrument information, as platform deployment times and data-processing methods varied.

Colorado River at Windy Gap near Granby, CO - 2021/07/27 Water Surface Velocity Map Using Particle Image Velocimetry

The dataset consists of a shapefile of measurements of surface velocity magnitude and direction at the Colorado River at Windy Gap near Granby, CO, on July 27, 2021. The dataset contains approximately 1 km of river length. The surface velocity measurements were made by applying Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) techniques, using overlapping videos collected by small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS). Total time to capture all videos was one hour and ten minutes, 11:05am to 12:15pm local time, and all frames (except frame 1, see Process Steps below) from all videos were used. Additional attributes, including divergence, curl, shear, and strain, were calculated from the surface velocity measurements and are included in the dataset. This data is ideal for instantaneous discharge, shear, strain, and divergence, but less so for eddies and mean reach values.  This is because the frame rate of 30-frames-per-second more accurately profiles and averages instantaneous values seen during the capture interval as opposed to the stability of an eddy or representative mean values of a longer capture interval.

Shot point navigation at 500 shot intervals for EdgeTech SB-512i chirp seismic-reflection data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey - St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center offshore of the Gulf Islands, MS, 2010 (ESRI point shapefile, 10cct02_SeismicShot_500.shp)

In 2010, the U.S. Geological Survey in Woods Hole, MA and St. Petersburg, FL, in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District conducted geologic mapping to characterize the seafloor and shallow subsurface stratigraphy offshore of the Gulf Islands of Mississippi. The mapping was carried out during two cruises in March, 2010 on the R/V Tommy Munro of Biloxi, MS. Data were acquired with the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (both 234 kHz and 468 kHz systems), a Klein 3000 and a Klein 3900 dual frequency sidescan-sonar, and an Edgetech 512i chirp subbottom profiling system. The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-quality, high-resolution geologic maps and geophysical interpretations that can be utilized to identify sand resources within the region and better understand the Holocene evolution and anticipate future changes in this coastal system. More information on the field work can be accessed from the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Field Activity webpage https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2010-012-FA or the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Geology InfoBank https://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/m/m210gm/html/m-2-10-gm.meta.html.

Hydrograph-separation results for 225 streams in the Chesapeake Bay watershed derived by using PART, HYSEP (Fixed, Local minimum, Slide), BFI, and a Recursive Digital Filter with streamflow data ranging from 1913 through 2016

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains daily-mean streamflow and estimated-daily base flow for 225 streamgages in the Chesapeake Bay watershed ranging from 1913 to 2016 (beginning and end dates may vary). There is a table containing hydrograph-separation results by six methods for 225 sites (Hydrograph_separation_results_for_225_streams_in_the_Chesapeake_Bay_watershed) and a summary table with hydrograph-separation results for each site and method (Hydrograph_separation_summary_for_225_streams_in_the_Chesapeake_Bay_watershed). Quantitative estimates of base flow are necessary to address questions of the vulnerability and response of aquatic ecosystems to natural and human-induced change in environmental conditions. Base flow is generally not measured directly, but is estimated from observations of streamflow and (or) stream water chemistry. Base flow was estimated using PART (Rutledge, 1998), HYSEP (Fixed, Local minimum, and Slide; Sloto and Crouse, 1996), BFI (Wahl and Wahl, 1988 and Wahl and Wahl, 1995), and a Recursive Digital Filter (Eckhardt, 2005 and Collishonn and Fan, 2013) in selected watersheds throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The references to the above citations are in the Supplemental Information section of this metadata record.

WNS Summer Surveillance: DATA

Bats occupying hibernacula during summer months may play an important role in the epidemiology of white-nose syndrome (WNS). For example, bats exposed to viable Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), the causative agent of WNS, in late summer could spread the fungus by transmitting it to other bats or to other locations suitable for establishment of new environmental reservoirs.  To explore risks for transmission of Pd during the non-hibernal season, we screened bats using hibernacula between July 18 to August 22, 2012 and associated environmental samples for presence of Pd.  Study sites within the eastern United States included six hibernacula known to harbor Pd and two hibernacula in which bats with WNS had not been previously observed.  Standard demographic and morphometric data were recorded for bats captured from inside each study site. Sample types evaluated for the presence of Pd included bat wing swabs, guano pellets from individual bats, swabs of hibernaculum walls, and sediments from the hibernaculum floor.  Additionally, swabs of various trapping and processing equipment and clothing worn into study sites were evaluated for the presence of Pd.
