title: SPARROW model simulated nutrient loads in streams of the Midcontinental Region of Canada and the United States, 2002 Base Year

description: The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model was developed to aid in the interpretation of monitoring data and simulate water-quality conditions in streams across the Midcontinental Region of Canada and the Unites States. SPARROW is a hybrid empirical⁄process-based mass balance model that can be used to estimate the major sources and environmental factors that affect the long-term supply, transport, and fate of contaminants in streams. The spatially explicit model structure is defined by a river reach network coupled with contributing catchments. The model is calibrated by statistically relating watershed sources and transport-related properties to monitoring-based water-quality load estimates. This USGS data release, prepared in cooperation with the International Joint Commission and National Research Council Canada, includes output files representing 2002 SPARROW simulations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in streams of the Midcontinent. Model calibration and results are described in Robertson and others (2019, https://doi.org/10.1111/1752-1688.12792). Geospatial data used for developing the Midcontinental SPARROW nutrient models are described in Vouk and others (2018, https://doi.org/10.4224/23004810). Model calibration targets used in the SPARROW models are described in Saad and others (2018, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185051).

title: Histopathology of American kestrels (Falco sparverius) sequentially exposed to first and second generation anticoagulant rodenticides

description: This dataset describes histopathological changes in liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle and intestine of captive American kestrels sequentially exposed to first and second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (FGAR and SGAR). The goal of the study was to determine the toxicity of sequential exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) by evaluating FGAR-FGAR exposure (7 day chlorophacinone exposure, 7 day recovery, than re-exposure) and SGAR-FGAR exposure (7 day brodifacoum, 7 day recovery, than 7 day exposure to chlorophacinone). Birds were necropsied and examined grossly for hemorrhages or anemia, and liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle, and intestine was collected for histopathological evaluation. Tissues were scanned at at least 100x magnification and all lesions, including hemorrhage, inflammation, and degenerative changes, were described and assigned a morphologic diagnosis with severity, chronicity, and distribution as appropriate.

title: Channel Mapping of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona - May 2009, river miles 29 to 62Data

description: Bathymetric, topographic, and grain-size data were collected in May 2009 along a 33-mi reach of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. The study reach is located from river miles 29 to 62 at the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers. Channel bathymetry was mapped using multibeam and singlebeam echosounders, subaerial topography was mapped using ground-based total-stations, and bed-sediment grain-size data were collected using an underwater digital microscope system. These data were combined to produce digital elevation models, spatially variable estimates of digital elevation model uncertainty, georeferenced grain-size data, and bed-sediment distribution maps. These data are associated with the USGS Open File Report: Kaplinski, M., Hazel, J.E., Jr., Grams, P.E., Kohl, Keith, Buscombe, D.D., and Tusso, R.B., 2017, Channel mapping river miles 2962 of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, May 2009: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 20171030, 35 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20171030.

title: Landsat Burned Area Essential Climate Variable products for the conterminous United States (1984 -2015)

description: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed and implemented an automated algorithm that identifies burned areas in temporally-dense time series of Landsat image stacks to produce the Landsat Burned Area Essential Climate Variable (BAECV) products. The algorithm makes use of predictors derived from individual Landsat scenes, lagged reference conditions, and change metrics between the scene and reference predictors. Outputs of the BAECV algorithm consist of burn probabilities for each Landsat scene, and annual composites of: burn probability, and burn classification. These products were generated for the conterminous United States for 1984 through 2015. These data are also available for download at https://rmgsc.cr.usgs.gov/outgoing/baecv/BAECV_CONUS_v1_2017/

title: Recovery data for surface water, groundwater and lab reagent samples analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory schedule 2437, water years 2013-15

description: Analytical recovery is the concentration of an analyze measured in a water-quality sample expressed as a percentage of the known concentration added to the sample (Mueller and others, 2015). Analytical recovery (hereafter referred to as recovery) can be used to understand method bias and variability and to assess the temporal changes in a method over time (Martin and others, 2009). This data set includes two tables: one table of field spike recovery data and one table of lab reagent spike recovery data. The table of field spike recovery data includes results from paired environmental and spike samples collected by the National Water Quality Program, National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Project in surface water and groundwater. These samples were collected as part of the NAWQA Projects National Water Quality Network: Rivers and Streams assessment, Regional Stream Quality Assessment studies and in multiple groundwater networks following standard practices (Mueller and others, 1997). This table includes environmental and spike water-quality sample data stored in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database (https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN). Concentrations of pesticides in spike samples, while stored in the NWIS database, are not publically available. The calculation of recovery based on these field sample data is outlined in Mueller and others (2015). Lab reagent spikes are pesticide-free reagent water spiked with a known concentration of pesticide. Lab reagent spikes are prepared in the lab and their recovery can be directly measured. The table of lab reagent spike data contains quality control sample information stored in the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) database. Both tables include fields for data-quality indicators that are described in the data processing steps of this metadata file. These tables were developed in order to support a USGS Scientific Investigations Report with the working title Considerations for the Preparation of Pesticide Data Analyzed with National Water Quality Laboratory Schedule 2437 Martin, J.D., Stone, W.W, Wydoski, D.S., and Sandstrom, M.W., 2009, Adjustment of pesticide concentrations for temporal changes in analytical recovery, 19922006: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 20095189, 23 p. plus appendixes.

title: Stream restoration constrains fine particle retention within the hyporheic zone of urban streams

description: Stream restoration goals include reducing erosion and increasing hyporheic exchange to promote biogeochemical processing and improve water quality. Suspended fine particles (&lt;100 m) exchange with transient storage areas near and within streambeds and banks. Fine particle deposition and retention directly impact carbon and nutrient cycling by supporting benthic and hyporheic metabolism, but accumulation of fine-particle deposits can impair metabolism by burying benthic biofilms and reducing streambed permeability. Little is known on how fine particle dynamics respond to stream restoration. We analyzed the transport and retention of water and fine particles at both the reach- and local-scale in a restored urban stream, 9 years post restoration. We injected a conservative solute and fine particle tracers under summer baseflow conditions and monitored the distribution of tracers between surface water, porewaters, and transient storage areas including biofilms, hyporheic zones, and slowly moving surface waters. Comparison of the results to a nearby unrestored stream demonstrate that the restored reach had an order of magnitude greater exchange of fine particles with transient storage zones, but 50% smaller rate of net particle immobilization. At the local-scale, particle immobilization in the hyporheic zone of both streams was similar, suggesting that restoration increased fine particle exchange with storage areas, but did not increase long-term particle retention. These results suggest that restoration structures successfully induced hyporheic exchange and maintained open pore spaces within the hyporheic sediments. However, the limited retention of particulate organic matter may reduce hyporheic biogeochemical processing by not providing sufficient organic carbon for heterotrophic microbial metabolism.
