Oblique Thermal Imaging of the Pisgah Lava Field, California Acquired March 2010 - Station 7

As part of a NASA-funded study of diurnal thermal imaging at a Mars analog site, we conducted simultaneous oblique thermal imaging and in situ temperature measurements within two regions of interest on the Pisgah lava field, near Ludlow, California. Both regions of interest contained either cave or cave-like alcoves. Data released in this report was collected from 03/23/2010 to 03/25/2010. The experiment was conducted at Pisgah lava field, which is located about 175 miles northeast of Los Angeles on Bureau of Land Management lands. Consisting of Quaternary basaltic lava and a cinder cone superimposed on alluvial deposits and lacustrine sediments of Lavic Lake playa (Dibblee, 1966), the flow is approximately 21,000 years old (Wise 1969)]. Extending ~18km to the west and 8 km to the southeast from the Pisgah cinder cone (Harter 2009), three eruption phases emitted both pahoehoe and a’a lava, which vary in thickness from 1 to 5 meters across the field (Gaddis, 1994). In addition to the lava flows, sections of the landscape were punctuated by desert pavements and sand deposits, which make the area ideal for thermal imaging of a range thermal physical properties. The cinder cone provided an appropriate vantage point for oblique imagery acquisition of the lava field. Thermal imaging of each ROI was conducted on consecutive days. Imagery was collected for the B-Cave ROI first and was more oblique than the Station 7 Trench ROI, which was acquired the next day.

Basin Characteristics Rasters for Delaware StreamStats 2020

This dataset was produced in by the Delaware Geological survey in cooperation with the US Geological Survey and Delaware Department of Transportation for the purpose of calculating stream gage basin characteristics in preparation for the Delaware 2020 StreamStats application. These datasets are raster representations of various environmental, geological, and land use attributes within the Delaware StreamStats 2020 study area, and will be served in the Delaware StreamStats 2020 application to describe delineated watersheds. The StreamStats application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas, get basin characteristics and estimates of flow statistics, and more.

Lidar-derived closed depression vector data and density raster in karst areas of Monroe County, West Virginia

Monroe County in southeastern West Virginia hosts world-class karst within carbonate units of Mississippian and Ordovician age. Lidar-derived elevation data acquired in late December of 2016 were used to create a 3-meter resolution working digital elevation model (DEM), from which surface depressions were identified using a semi-automated workflow in ArcGIS®. Depressions in the automated inventory were systematically checked by a geologist within a grid of 1.5 square kilometer tiles using aerial imagery, lidar-derived imagery, and 3D viewing of the lidar imagery. Distinguishing features such as modification by human activities or hydrological significance (stream sink, ephemerally ponded, etc.) were noted wherever relevant to a particular depression. Relative confidence in depression identification was provided and determined by whether the depression was visible in the lidar imagery, aerial imagery, or both. Statistics on the geometric morphometry of each depression were calculated including perimeter, area, depth, length of major and minor elliptical axes, and azimuth of the major axis. Center points were created for each surface depression and were used to create a point density raster. The density raster displays the number of closed depression points per square kilometer.

Compilation of estuarine salinity data for sites used in RESTORE Streamflow alteration assessments (ver. 2.0, June 2021)

The presence of salinity in shallow waters influences living resources and habitats within Gulf of Mexico estuaries. The salinity gradient is widely recognized as foundational in maintaining biological diversity and productivity of estuaries. A clear understanding of the factors controlling salinity and its variability in estuarine surface waters is essential for proper stewardship and for sustaining ecological structure and function. Salinity data are collected by numerous Federal, State, and local agencies and universities as part of routine data-collection programs. The U.S. Geological Survey compiled salinity data from existing online databases – all water samples were collected in Gulf of Mexico estuaries. The primary criterion for data from a station to be included in the compilation was a lengthy record of continuous collection using a data sonde programmed to at least hourly intervals. Stations that represented full estuarine gradients, from fresh to saline, were prioritized. Data were compiled from salinity stations in the five Gulf states and combined into one .txt file and one .feather file. Continuous data collection of salinity concentrations began at a few stations in the mid-1980s, and the number of stations with data sondes has increased over time for a total of 532,076 observations at 92 stations provided in this data release.

In Support of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 3-Bat Species Status Assessment: Wind Energy Influence

Through the North American Bat Monitoring Program, United States Geological Survey (USGS) provided technical and science support to assist in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services’ Species Status Assessment (“SSA”) for the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), and tri-colored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). USGS facilitated the SSA data call, provided data archival for repeatable and transparent analyses, provided statistical support to assess the historical, current, and future population status for each of the three species, and developed a demographic projection tool to evaluate future viability of each species under multiple threat scenarios.
These data represent the derived species-specific index of potential wind energy influence of each NABat grid cell ("grid cell") from 2007-2020 derived based on the U.S. Wind Turbine Database after joining turbine locations to the NABat grid and aggregating at the grid cell. This metric is summarized for each grid cell and year, and reflects both the proximity of each grid cell to all wind energy locations on the landscape (with respect to the mean dispersal distance of each species in kilometers) and also the intensity (rated capacity in megawatts) at each location. It was derived based on the total rated wind energy capacities of grid cells, and the distances from grid cells with wind energy to all other NABat grid cells, the mean migration distance of each species, and an exponential dispersal kernel as a weighting function.
