In 2019, the Water Mission Area Next Generation Water Observing Systems Program augmented the existing stream gage network there, including instrumentation to specifically characterize various aspects of groundwater discharge to streams. An important control on the spatiotemporal dynamics of groundwater discharge can be stream valley corridor depth to bedrock, otherwise conceptualized as the thickness of unconsolidated sediments sediments over the contiguous bedrock interface. In June 2019, and November 2020, passive seismic recordings were acquired at locations directly along stream banks in the Neversink River watershed, using MOHO Tromino Model TEP-3C (MOHO, S.R.L.) three-component seismometers to assess depth to bedrock using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral-ratio (HVSR) method. Resonance frequencies were derived from the raw data using the GRILLA software (MOHO, S.R.L.) and converted to inferred depths to the bedrock contact. This method requires a value for seismic shear wave velocity, which depends on the unconsolidated sediment composition and density, for the conversion of HVSR measured resonance frequency to a depth to bedrock. Possible shear wave velocities were estimated for Neversink River watershed sediment based on previous research in the glacial terrain of the Northeast USA, providing a range of possible data interpretations as shown in the ‘Processed\_Data’ folder of this data release. We expect to update the release in the future as additional HVSR data are collected. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Martin A Briggs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=60112), [U.S. Geological Survey, Hydrogeophysics Branch](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey%2C+Hydrogeophysics+Branch) Originator : [Mark Briggs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=64421), [Joshua C Woda](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=77866), [John H Williams](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11277), [Brett R Trottier](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=79806) Metadata Contact : [Martin A Briggs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=60112) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) SDC Data Owner : [Observing Systems Division](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=77192) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5fce8a40d34e30b912396ed1?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5fce8a40d34e30b912396ed1?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5fce8a40d34e30b912396ed1?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | HVSR\_NeverSink.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 12.38 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | README.txt | | 2.05 KB | text/plain | | streamside\_HVSR.jpg |  | 4.84 MB | image/jpeg | | Raw\_Data.zip | | 34.27 MB | application/zip | | Processed\_Data.zip | | 12.66 MB | application/zip | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | XYNeversink\_HVSR\_Arcmap.dbf | | 13.89 KB | | XYNeversink\_HVSR\_Arcmap.prj | | 167 Bytes | | XYNeversink\_HVSR\_Arcmap.shp | | 1.19 KB | | XYNeversink\_HVSR\_Arcmap.shx | | 420 Bytes | Shapefile: XYNeversink\_HVSR\_Arcmap.zip ## Purpose Depth to bedrock along stream corridors can directly influence patterns of streamflow, valley groundwater flow, and groundwater/surface water exchange but is often ill-defined in mountain headwater catchments. These HVSR data were collected to support process-based interpretation of stream temperature and chemical dynamics, and to aid in groundwater flow model development. ## Preview Image  ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5fce8a40d34e30b912396ed1) [](/catalog/item/imap/5fce8a40d34e30b912396ed1) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ScienceBase WFS ## Communities -

In 2019, the Water Mission Area Next Generation Water Observing Systems Program augmented the existing stream gage network there, including instrumentation to specifically characterize various aspects of groundwater discharge to streams. An important control on the spatiotemporal dynamics of groundwater discharge can be stream valley corridor depth to bedrock, otherwise conceptualized as the thickness of unconsolidated sediments sediments over the contiguous bedrock interface. In June 2019, and November 2020, passive seismic recordings were acquired at locations directly along stream banks in the Neversink River watershed, using MOHO Tromino Model TEP-3C (MOHO, S.R.L.) three-component seismometers to assess depth to bedrock using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral-ratio (HVSR) method. \nResonance frequencies were derived from the raw data using the GRILLA software (MOHO, S.R.L.) and converted to inferred depths to the bedrock contact. This method requires a value for seismic shear wave velocity, which depends on the unconsolidated sediment composition and density, for the conversion of HVSR measured resonance frequency to a depth to bedrock. Possible shear wave velocities were estimated for Neversink River watershed sediment based on previous research in the glacial terrain of the Northeast USA, providing a range of possible data interpretations as shown in the \xe2\x80\x98Processed_Data\xe2\x80\x99 folder of this data release. We expect to update the release in the future as additional HVSR data are collected.</abstract>\n <purpose>Depth to bedrock along stream corridors can directly influence patterns of streamflow, valley groundwater flow, and groundwater/surface water exchange but is often ill-defined in mountain headwater catchments. These HVSR data were collected to support process-based interpretation of stream temperature and chemical dynamics, and to aid in groundwater flow model development.</purpose>\n <supplinf>Data collection and analysis has been supported by the USGS Next Generation Water Observing Systems Program.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20190624</begdate>\n <enddate>20201119</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>In work</progress>\n <update>Irregular</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-74.6253</westbc>\n <eastbc>-74.3462</eastbc>\n <northbc>42.0403</northbc>\n <southbc>41.8725</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>geoscientificInformation</themekey>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>environment</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>groundwater</themekey>\n <themekey>groundwater and surface-water interaction</themekey>\n <themekey>surface water (non-marine)</themekey>\n <themekey>regolith thickness</themekey>\n <themekey>hydrogeology</themekey>\n <themekey>hydrology</themekey>\n <themekey>geophysics</themekey>\n <themekey>remote sensing</themekey>\n <themekey>HVSR</themekey>\n <themekey>headwater streams</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5fce8a40d34e30b912396ed1</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)</placekt>\n <placekey>Neversink River</placekey>\n <placekey>New York</placekey>\n <placekey>Sullivan County</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

The survey was flown at a nominal flight height of 30 meters (m) above terrain along block-style lines with a nominal spacing of 250 m. The survey was designed to cover the summit and flanks of Iliamna volcano and includes transit lines east of the volcano which provide additional information on nearby structures and glacial thickness and resistivity. There are data gaps near Iliamna’s summit due to poor flight visibility. Data acquisition, minimal processing, and initial inversions were conducted by SkyTEM Survey ApS and described in detail in the contractor’s report. The AEM depth of investigation varied with subsurface resistivity and averaged approximately 338 m. Raw digital data from production flights are provided and described in the data dictionary.

These data were collected in support of alteration and volcano flank instability mapping as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Volcano Hazards Program. Data were acquired by SkyTEM Survey ApS SkyTEM304 with the Soloy Helicopters Eurocopter Astar 350 B3 and Bell 407 dual-moment, time-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic system together with a Geometrics G822A cesium vapor magnetometer with Kroum KMAG4 counter. The survey was flown at a nominal flight height of 30 meters (m) above terrain along block-style lines with a nominal spacing of 250 m. The survey was designed to cover the summit and flanks of Iliamna volcano and includes transit lines east of the volcano which provide additional information on nearby structures and glacial thickness and resistivity. There are data gaps near Iliamna\xe2\x80\x99s summit due to poor flight visibility. Data acquisition, minimal processing, and initial inversions were conducted by SkyTEM Survey ApS and described in detail in the contractor\xe2\x80\x99s report. The AEM depth of investigation varied with subsurface resistivity and averaged approximately 338 m. \n\nRaw digital data from production flights are provided and described in the data dictionary.

The primary objectives of this data collection was to determine the depth of heavy-metal contamination at five gravel bars along the Big River to verify and supplement findings by Pavlowsky and Owen (2010). A secondary objective of the study was to develop and implement methods for use in other Natural Resource Damage Assessment projects, such as the Tri-State Mining District (TSMD) project (Smith, 2016). This data was collected in cooperation with the Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute, Missouri State University, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Five gravel bars along the Big River were selected for this study. Three boreholes were drilled on each gravel bar with the exception of bar A. Due to the smaller surface area of bar A, two boreholes were drilled. Surface samples were collected in the unsaturated zone by hand methods for each boring location. A stainless steel hand scoop was used to collect sediment from 0 to 1 foot. A shovel was used to collect deeper samples in the unsaturated zone. Once a hole was excavated with a shovel, disturbed sediment was cleared away to access undisturbed sediment and a sample would be collected with a stainless steel hand scoop. A freeze method similar to that used by Lisle and Eads (1971) was used to collect the saturated samples for the project. Methods used in this study implemented a hollow sampler and was driven by means of Geoprobe direct push sampling equipment. In this study, liquid carbon dioxide was injected into the hollow sampler and sediment was frozen to the outside of the sampler. The length-wise fins on the outside of the sampler protected the frozen sample during removal by pushing coarse material away from the sampler during the retrieval process. More information about the sampler design and methods is described by Smith (2016). The frozen sample was then rinsed with deionized water while still frozen to the sampler. This removed any particles from upper layers that may have attached to the frozen sediment during retrieval. This left a solid frozen sediment sample taken from the depth at which the sample was frozen. The sediment was then scraped and rinsed into a stainless steel pan. All samples were stored in labeled double zippered plastic bags and transported to the Rolla, Missouri US Geological Survey (USGS) office. Samples were stored in the USGS repository and allowed to air dry. Once the samples were dry, the initial mass was recorded and sieved using a single #10 (2 millimeter) sieve. The two size fractions were placed in separate labeled zippered plastic bags and their masses were recorded. The less than 2 millimeter size fraction was scanned by USFWS personnel in Columbia, Missouri using a handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) unit to determine metal concentrations.  The samples were scanned 3 times and the average concentration of the three scans for each constituent was calculated as a best representation of the constituent concentration.  The individual samples were hand mixed within the bag before each scan to ensure homogeneity.

The depth measurements included in this data release were obtained by wading the shallow channel margins with RTK GPS receivers and measuring water surface elevations along the water's edge and bed elevations within the channel; depths were calculated by subtracting bed elevations from the nearest water surface elevation. For the deeper areas representing most of the channel, depths were recorded along a series of cross-sections by a SonTek RiverSurveyor S5 acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and an Ohmex SonarMite echo sounder, both deployed from a jet boat. The spatial location of each measurement was obtained via GPS receivers: Trimble R8 and R10 RTK rovers for the wading and echo sounder measurements and a differential GPS included as part of the RiverSurveyor S5 ADCP instrument package. The map projection and datum for these data are UTM Zone 10 N and NAD83, respectively.

For all States except California, U.S. Department of Agriculture county-level data for harvested-crop acreage were used in conjunction with proprietary Crop Reporting District-level pesticide-use data to estimate county-level pesticide use. Where Crop Reporting District data were not available or were incomplete, estimated pesticide-use values were calculated with two different methods, resulting in a low and a high estimate based on different assumptions about missing survey data (Thelin and Stone, 2013). Pesticide-use data for California for 2013-17 were obtained from the online Department of Pesticide Regulation Pesticide Use Reporting (DPR–PUR) database (California Department of Pesticide Regulation, variously dated). The California county data were appended after the estimation process was completed for the rest of the Nation. Estimates of annual agricultural pesticide use are provided as downloadable, tab-delimited files, organized by compound, year, state Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, county Federal Information Processing Standard code, and amount in kilograms (kg). This data release contains estimates of annual agricultural pesticide use for 2013-17 along with associated metadata. This data release is a continuation of the 1992-2009 pesticide-use estimates reported by Stone (2013) and the 2008-2012 pesticide-use estimates reported by Baker and Stone (2015). Tables of annual agricultural pesticide use estimates for 1992-2012 are available for download on the Pesticide National Synthesis Project (PNSP) webpage: https://doi.org/doi:10.5066/F7NP22KM. Beginning 2015, the provider of the surveyed pesticide data used to derive the county-level use estimates discontinued making estimates for seed treatment application of pesticides because of complexity and uncertainty. Pesticide-use estimates prior to 2015 include estimates with seed treatment application. Data for some compounds were missing from the version 1 estimates. Pesticide use estimates for compounds with missing data have been updated in version 2.0.

For all States except California, U.S. Department of Agriculture county-level data for harvested-crop acreage were used in conjunction with proprietary Crop Reporting District-level pesticide-use data to estimate county-level pesticide use. Where Crop Reporting District data were not available or were incomplete, estimated pesticide-use values were calculated with two different methods, resulting in a low and a high estimate based on different assumptions about missing survey data (Thelin and Stone, 2013).\n\nPesticide-use data for California for 2013-17 were obtained from the online Department of Pesticide Regulation Pesticide Use Reporting (DPR\xe2\x80\x93PUR) database (California Department of Pesticide Regulation, variously dated). The California county data were appended after the estimation process was completed for the rest of the Nation.\n\nEstimates of annual agricultural pesticide use are provided as downloadable, tab-delimited files, organized by compound, year, state Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, county Federal Information Processing Standard code, and amount in kilograms (kg). This data release contains estimates of annual agricultural pesticide use for 2013-17 along with associated metadata. This data release is a continuation of the 1992-2009 pesticide-use estimates reported by Stone (2013) and the 2008-2012 pesticide-use estimates reported by Baker and Stone (2015). Tables of annual agricultural pesticide use estimates for 1992-2012 are available for download on the Pesticide National Synthesis Project (PNSP) webpage: https://doi.org/doi:10.5066/F7NP22KM.\n\nBeginning 2015, the provider of the surveyed pesticide data used to derive the county-level use estimates discontinued making estimates for seed treatment application of pesticides because of complexity and uncertainty. Pesticide-use estimates prior to 2015 include estimates with seed treatment application.\n\nData for some compounds were missing from the version 1 estimates. Pesticide use estimates for compounds with missing data have been updated in version 2.0.\n\nFirst posted November 26, 2019\nRevised May 27, 2020, ver. 2.0\n\nReferences cited:\n\nBaker, N.T., and Stone, W.W., 2015, Estimated annual agricultural pesticide use for counties of the conterminous United States, 2008\xe2\x80\x9312: U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 907, 9 p., accessed July 12, 2015, at https://doi.org/10.3133/ds907.\n\nCalifornia Department of Pesticide Regulation, variously dated, Pesticide use reporting (PUR): California Department of Pesticide Regulation Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR), Pesticide Use Report Data (PUR archives pur2013.zip, pur2014.zip, pur2015.zip, pur2016.zip, pur2017.zip), accessed June 26, 2019, at http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/pur/purmain.htm.\n\nStone, W.W., 2013, Estimated annual agricultural pesticide use for counties of the conterminous United States, 1992\xe2\x80\x932009: U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 752, 1-p. pamphlet, 14 tables, accessed July 12, 2015, at http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/752/.\n\nThelin, G.P., and Stone, W.W., 2013, Estimation of annual agricultural pesticide use for counties of the conterminous United States, 1992\xe2\x80\x932009: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2013\xe2\x80\x935009, 54 p., accessed July 12, 2015, at http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5009/.</abstract>\n <purpose>Pesticide-use estimates from this dataset were compiled for U.S. Geological Survey water-quality studies and are suitable for making national, regional, and watershed assessments of annual pesticide use.</purpose>\n <supplinf>For all states except California, pesticide-use data were obtained from proprietary surveys of farm operations within U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Crop Reporting Districts (CRDs). CRDs represent a collection of contiguous counties within a State. The survey data are based on agricultural pesticide-use surveys of farm operations distributed throughout the conterminous United States (Baker and Stone, 2015; Kynetec AgroTrak, written commun., annually 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018). Survey data were used to calculate pesticide use per crop acre, or an 'estimated pesticide use' (EPest) rate, for each pesticide compound used in a CRD. County-use estimates were then calculated by multiplying EPest rates by harvested-crop acres for each pesticide-crop combination in the CRD by year for 2013-17; annual harvested-crop acres were reported by the USDA 2012 and 2017 Census of Agriculture (Ag Census) (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2014, 2019) and the 2013-16 USDA National Agricultural Statistics (NASS) County Agricultural Production Survey (CAPS) (U.S. Department of Agriculture-National Agricultural Statistics Service, variously dated). The methods documented in this report summarize the more detailed methods developed and described by Thelin and Stone (2013) and updated by Baker and Stone (2015).\n\nTwo different estimates, EPest-low and EPest-high, provide a range of pesticide-use rates (Thelin and Stone, 2013 and Baker and Stone, 2015) where a pesticide-use rate is not available for a crop from a CRD. Both methods incorporated surveyed and extrapolated rates to estimate pesticide use for counties, but EPest-low and EPest-high estimation procedures differed in how they treated situations in which a CRD was surveyed and pesticide use was not reported (missing) for a particular pesticide-by-crop combination. The EPest-low estimate is assigned a null value (blank) when there is not enough information to determine whether use occurred but was not captured by the survey or whether use did not occur for that pesticide and crop. EPest-high, however, treats missing data for surveyed CRDs as pesticide use likely to occur and therefore calculates a use rate from neighboring CRDs or CRDs within the same region to estimate the pesticide-by-crop use. This method is described in detail by Thelin and Stone (2013). The EPest-high estimate is based generally on the median of reported pesticide-by-crop use rates from surveyed farmers in neighboring CRDs and, in some cases, CRDs within the same USDA Farm Resource Region (Thelin and Stone, 2013). EPest-low annual-use totals can be greater than EPest-high totals when the low method of estimation concentrates the use to a particular geographic area while the high method spreads the use over a larger geographic area. There is uncertainty in both the high and low estimates that is difficult to quantify. A user should become familiar with the two methods to decide which estimate is best for a specific application.\n\nCounty annual harvested-crop acres reported in the 2012 and 2017 Ag Census (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2014, 2019) and 2013-16 CAPS (U.S. Department of Agriculture-National Agricultural Statistics Service, variously dated) were used in this compilation. The Ag Census is the most uniform and complete source of crop-acre estimates for all counties in the United States. The Ag Census is published every 5th year, with CAPS reporting crop-acre estimates for selected crops and counties for interim Ag Census years.\n\nFor many crops, CAPS data were not available for any county for the inter-Ag Census period (2013-16). For the 2013-17 estimates, acreages for crops not surveyed by CAPS were interpolated linearly between Ag Census years 2012 and 2017. The 2012 Ag Census data were used in the interpolation; however, the 2012 estimates are not included in this dataset because they are already published in Baker and Stone (2015).\n\nPesticide-use data for California for 2013-17 were obtained from the online Department of Pesticide Regulation Pesticide Use Reporting (DPR\xe2\x80\x93PUR) database (California Department of Pesticide Regulation, variously dated) and were appended to data for the rest of the Nation after the estimation process described above. Use estimates for California were compiled without extrapolation; therefore, EPest-low and EPest-high rates are the same for counties in California.\n\nAdditional references cited in the Supplemental Information section: \n\nU.S. Department of Agriculture, 2014, State and county data, Geographic area series parts 1\xe2\x80\x9350, AC\xe2\x80\x9312\xe2\x80\x93A\xe2\x80\x931\xe2\x80\x94AC\xe2\x80\x9312\xe2\x80\x93A\xe2\x80\x9350: U.S. Department of Agriculture 2017 Census of Agriculture, v. 1, accessed May 19, 2014, at http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/2012/.\n\nU.S. Department of Agriculture, 2019, State and county data, Geographic area series parts 1\xe2\x80\x9350, AC\xe2\x80\x9317\xe2\x80\x93A\xe2\x80\x931\xe2\x80\x94AC\xe2\x80\x9317\xe2\x80\x93A\xe2\x80\x9350: U.S. Department of Agriculture 2017 Census of Agriculture, v. 1, accessed May 22, 2019, at http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/2017/.\n\nU.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service, variously dated, Field crops: U.S. Department of Agriculture Quick Stats database (years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017), accessed June 11, 2019, at http://www.nass.usda.gov/Quick_Stats/.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>2013</begdate>\n <enddate>2017</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>publication date</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-125.77148437357</westbc>\n <eastbc>-65.830078125965</eastbc>\n <northbc>49.35346768179</northbc>\n <southbc>23.523294619068</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>pesticide</themekey>\n <themekey>water</themekey>\n <themekey>pesticide use</themekey>\n <themekey>Census of Agriculture</themekey>\n <themekey>Crop Reporting District</themekey>\n <themekey>crops</themekey>\n <themekey>National Water Quality Program</themekey>\n <themekey>NAWQA</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>agriculture</themekey>\n <themekey>water quality</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>environment</themekey>\n <themekey>geoscientificInformation</themekey>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5e95c12282ce172707f2524e</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System</placekt>\n <placekey>United States</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>none</accconst>\n <useconst>none</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Christine M Wieben</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>3450 Princeton Pike Suite 110</address>\n <city>Lawrenceville</city>\n <state>New Jersey</state>\n <postal>08648</postal>\n <country>United States</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>609-406-3817</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\n <datacred>This work was done to support analyses by the National Water Quality Assessment Project, National Water Quality Program of the U.S. Geological Survey</datacred>\n <native>Environment as of Metadata Creation: Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1 Esri ArcGIS 10.2.2 (Build 3552)</native>\n <crossref>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Nancy T.

County annual harvested-crop acres reported by the USDA 2012 and 2017 Census of Agriculture (Ag Census) (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2014, 2019) and USDA National Agricultural Statistics (NASS) County Agricultural Production Survey (CAPS) (U.S. Department of Agriculture--National Agricultural Statistics Service, variously dated) were used in this compilation. Estimates were produced using SAS software. \n\nFor the 2013-17 estimates, acreages for crops not surveyed by CAPS were interpolated linearly between Ag Census years 2012 and 2017.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190730</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Where a pesticide-use rate is not available for a crop from a CRD, both EPest-low and EPest-high estimates were made to provide a range of pesticide-use rates (Thelin and Stone, 2013 and Baker and Stone, 2015). Both methods incorporated surveyed and extrapolated rates to estimate pesticide use for counties, but EPest-low and EPest-high estimation procedures differed in how they treated situations in which a CRD was surveyed and pesticide use was not reported (missing) for a particular pesticide-by-crop combination. The EPest-low estimate is assigned a null value (blank) when there is not enough information to determine whether use occurred but was not captured by the survey or whether use did not occur for that pesticide and crop. EPest-high, however, treats missing data for surveyed CRDs as pesticide use likely to occur and therefore calculates a use rate from neighboring CRDs or CRDs within the same region to estimate the pesticide-by-crop use.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190730</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Append California pesticide-use estimates to estimates compiled for the rest of the nation.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190807</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The original dataset was incomplete.

FRG definitions have been altered from previous applications to best approximate the definitions outlined in the Interagency Fire Regime Condition Class Guidebook. These definitions were refined to create discrete, mutually exclusive criteria appropriate for use with LANDFIRE's (LF) fire frequency and severity data products.\n\nFRG is created by linking the Biophysical Settings (BPS) Group attribute in the BpS layer with the Refresh Model Tracker (RMT) data and assigning the FRG attribute. This geospatial product should display a reasonable approximation of FRG, as documented in the RMT. (LF 1.0.0 CONUS only used the vegetation and disturbance dynamics model LANDSUM) Fire Management Policy, and the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (https://landfire.gov/fireregime.php, accessed 2/26/2019).\n\nRollins, M.

The mean concentration of the three samples from each sampling day at each site was used as the representative sample concentration. During the sampling campaigns from 2010-2012 and 2016, subsamples were filtered within 24 hours with 0.45\xce\xbcm syringe phosphorus-free filters and refrigerated until analysis of PO4- and NOx. Filtered and unfiltered aliquots for total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) were stored in HDPE bottles and frozen until analysis. Aliquots for TN and TP were thawed and digested with alkaline persulfate in an autoclave for 1 hour prior to analysis for the resulting NOx and PO4- concentrations (Patton and Kryskalla 2003). Total particulate P (TPP) was calculated as TP minus total dissolved P. Samples were analyzed for NOx and TN using EPA method 353.2 and PO4- and TP using EPA method 365.1. All analyses were performed on an Astoria Pacific segmented flow autoanalyzer (Astoria-Pacific, Astoria, OR) or AQ2 Automated Discrete Analyzer (Seal Analytics). Samples collected from 2010-2012 were also analyzed for suspended sediment concentration (SSC) using pre-washed and pre-ashed Whatman 934-AH filters (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ) following ASTM method D 3977.</procdesc>\n <procdate>201704</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Table with water quality concentration data</enttypl>\n

This data can be used to model apparent and approximate resistivity. The measurements are made by producing an alternating electrical current (AC) in a transmitter wire loop that is deployed on the land surface (Vignesh and others, 2015). The transmitted AC current consists of equal periods of time when current is turned on and off, referred to as \'on-time\' and \'off-time\' (North Carolina Division of Water Resources, 2004). Current in the transmitter loop, during "on-time" induces a magnetic field into the subsurface. This magnetic field in turn induces eddy currents in conductive layers of the subsurface. These secondary currents produce a secondary magnetic field that it measured as voltage transients at the receiver coil during "off-time". Multiple time-domain electromagnetic measurements are averaged to obtain a final "stacked" time-domain electromagnetic sounding (Teeple and others, 2009).\n\nTime-domain electromagnetic soundings were measured using the Geonics Protem 47 and 57 systems (Geonics Limited, 2006 a, b). The Geonics Protem 47 and 57 systems use a multiturn receiver coil to measure the voltage transient in the center of a transmitter loop. The effective area of the receiver relates to the sensitivity of the receiver coil (Geonics Limited, 2006 a, b). The time-domain electromagnetic soundings were collected at two frequencies using the Geonics Protem 47 (285 and 75 hertz [Hz]) and three frequencies using the Geonics Protem 57 (30, 7.5, and 3.0 Hz) for a total of five frequencies. The lower frequencies contain information from deeper in the subsurface. For each frequency, ten stacks were collected by using an integration time of either 8 or 15 seconds. Integration time is the time duration that repeat measurements are averaged for one stack. The longer integration time (15 seconds) was used for collecting 3.0-Hz data with the Geonics Protem 57; the longer integration time helped compensate (improve the signal to noise ratio because more measurements are stacked) for the dissipation of the transmitted signal at depth and for the greater potential for electromagnetic background noise with these soundings compared to soundings collected at higher frequencies (shallower depths).\n\nThe raw data files are included in this data release as a zip file (TAAP_HB_TDEM_raw.zip) along with a readme file (TAAP_HB_TDEM_RAW_readme.txt) detailing the structure of the files within the zip folder.</procdesc>\n <srcused>Vignesh and others, 2015</srcused>\n <srcused>North Carolina Division of Water Resources, 2004</srcused>\n <srcused>Geonics Limited, 2006a</srcused>\n <srcused>Geonics Limited, 2006b</srcused>\n <srcused>Teeple and others, 2009</srcused>\n <procdate>20190901</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Pre-processing: \n\nThe voltage transients measured from the eddy currents were averaged and evaluated statistically using preprocessing scripts to calculate the uncertainty of each time gate (discrete voltages measured at increasingly later times after shutoff of the current). Variability observed in a time gate could represent signal noise or a systematic change that is not representative of stable data. A trimmed mean (Helsel and others, 2020) was calculated for each of the 10 stacks, and the resulting mean was stored in one sounding for each site (a sounding is a time dependent voltage decay measured at the receiver coil). The trimmed mean represents the central tendency of a dataset after a selected percentage of the highest and lowest values were removed. In this application, 10 percent of the data from each end of the distribution were removed, and a mean of the central 80 percent of the data was computed. The trimmed means were then compared to the noise sample and any values less than half of the associated electromagnetic background noise value were removed from the final sounding. This comparison of the trimmed means to the electromagnetic background noise is done because sounding data that approximates the background noise threshold has a lower signal to noise ratio and lower reliability. The final soundings were saved as processed data files for use with the inversion software used for inverse modeling (Interpex Limited, 1996).</procdesc>\n <srcused>Helsel and others, 2020</srcused>\n <srcused>Interpex Limited, 1996</srcused>\n <procdate>20190901</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Inverse Modeling:\n\nInverse modeling is the process of estimating the spatial distribution of subsurface resistivity from the measured voltage transient. The IX1D v3 program developed by Interpex Limited (1996), was used for inverse modeling of the time-domain electromagnetic soundings. A smooth inverse model (a multilayered model that holds the depth values fixed and allows the resistivity values to vary during inversion) was fit to the data by using Occam\xe2\x80\x99s inversion principle (Constable and others, 1987). For this report, root mean square errors (RMSE) between the measured apparent resistivity (calculated from measured voltage transient) and the calculated apparent resistivity (modeled depth dependent resistivity) of 10 percent or less were considered acceptable and included in the analysis. The root mean square error is derived from the residuals between the measured apparent resistivity and the calculated apparent resistivity by using following equation:\n\nRMSE=sqrt(1/n * sum(Mi-Ci )^2 )\n\nwhere\nRMSE is the root mean square error,\nsqrt is the square root,\nn is the number of observations,\ni is an index of a sequence,\nM is the measured apparent resistivity at the given time step, and\nC is the calculated apparent resistivity at the given time step.\n\nThe inverse modeling results of the final processed time-domain electromagnetic data collected throughout the study area had a range of root mean square errors from 1.89 to 21.36 percent and a median of 3.90 percent; the root mean square errors of 96 percent of the soundings were less than 10 percent. \n\nThe final inversion results are included in this data release as a text file (TAAP_HB_TDEM_Processed.txt) along with a readme file (TAAP_HB_TDEM_Processed_readme.txt) detailing the structure of the text file. \n\nThe field notes, pre-processing files, and all other ancillary data files are archived internally on a server at the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center Austin Office and are available upon request.</procdesc>\n <srcused>Interpex Limited, 1996</srcused>\n <srcused>Constable and others, 1987</srcused>\n <procdate>20190901</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <method>\n <methtype>Field</methtype>\n <methdesc>Data collection: \n\nTime-domain electromagnetic instruments measure the bulk resistivity of the subsurface by producing an alternating electrical current in a transmitter loop deployed on the land surface (Vignesh and others, 2015). The transmitter signal of most systems consists of equal periods of time when current is turned on or off, commonly referred to as \'on-time\' and \'off-time\' (North Carolina Division of Water Resources, 2004). Multiple time-domain electromagnetic measurements, where a single measurement is a \'stack\' (the compilation of datasets collected during an integration time), are averaged to obtain a final mean time-domain electromagnetic sounding (Teeple and others, 2009).\n\nTime-domain electromagnetic soundings were collected using the Geonics Protem 47 and 57 systems (Geonics Limited, 2006 a, b). The Geonics Protem 47 and 57 systems use a multiturn receiver coil to measure electromagnetic fields in the center of a transmitter loop. The effective area of the receiver relates to the sensitivity of the receiver coil (Geonics Limited, 2006 a, b). The time-domain electromagnetic soundings were collected at two frequencies using the Geonics Protem 47 (285 and 75 hertz [Hz]) and three frequencies using the Geonics Protem 57 (30, 7.5, and 3.0 Hz), for a total of five frequencies between the two, where lower frequencies receive data from deeper in the subsurface. For each frequency, ten stacks were collected by using an integration time of either 8 or 15 seconds. The longer integration time (15 seconds) was used for collecting 3.0-Hz data with the Geonics Protem 57, which helped compensate (improve signal to noise ratio) for the dissipation of the transmitted signal at depth and for the greater potential for electromagnetic background noise with these soundings compared to soundings collected at higher frequencies (shallower depths).\n\nThe raw data files are included in this data release as a zip file (TAAP_HB_TDEM_raw.zip) along with a readme file (TAAP_HB_TDEM_RAW_readme.txt) detailing the structure of the files within the zip folder.</methdesc>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Vignesh A., Ramanujam N., Kumar B.S., and Rasool Q.A.</origin>\n <pubdate>2015</pubdate>\n <title>Application of time domain electromagnetic (Tdem) methods for mapping of salt fresh water intrusions and evaluate the porosity in Carbyn\xe2\x80\x99s Cove, Wandoor and Khurumedhera Beaches in South Andaman</title>\n <geoform>journal article</geoform>\n <serinfo>\n <sername>Journal of Coastal Zone Management</sername>\n <issue>v. 18, no. 4</issue>\n </serinfo>\n <othercit>5 p.\ndoi: 10.4172/2473-3350.1000413</othercit>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>North Carolina Division of Water Resources</origin>\n <pubdate>2004</pubdate>\n <title>Time domain electromagnetic geophysics</title>\n <geoform>pamphlet</geoform>\n <onlink>http://www.ncwater.org/?page=562</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Teeple, A.P., Vrabel, Joseph, Kress, W.H., and Cannia, J.C.</origin>\n <pubdate>2009</pubdate>\n <title>Apparent resistivity and estimated interaction potential of surface water and groundwater along selected canals and streams in the Elkhorn-Loup Model study area, north-central Nebraska, 2006-07</title>\n <geoform>document</geoform>\n <serinfo>\n <sername>Scientific Investigations Report</sername>\n <issue>2009-5171</issue>\n </serinfo>\n <othercit>66 p.</othercit>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Geonics Limited (a)</origin>\n <pubdate>2006</pubdate>\n <title>Products-TEM47</title>\n <geoform>equipment</geoform>\n <onlink>http://www.geonics.com/html/tem47.html</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Geonics Limited (b)</origin>\n <pubdate>2006</pubdate>\n <title>Products-TEM57</title>\n <geoform>equipment</geoform>\n <onlink>http://www.geonics.com/html/tem57-mk2.html</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n </method>\n <method>\n <methtype>Lab</methtype>\n <methdesc>Pre-processing: \n\nFor each sounding, the voltages measured from the eddy currents were averaged and evaluated statistically by using preprocessing scripts that use the raw field data (voltage data) and calculate the uncertainty of each time gate (discrete voltages measured at increasingly later times after shutoff of the current) independently. Variability observed in a time gate could represent signal noise or a systematic change not representative of stable data. A trimmed mean (Helsel and Hirsch, 2002) was calculated for each of the 10 stacks, and the resulting mean was stored in one sounding. The trimmed mean represents the central tendency of a dataset after a selected percentage of the highest and lowest values were removed. In this application, 10 percent of the data from each end of the distribution were removed, and a mean of the central 80 percent of the data was computed. The trimmed means were then compared to the noise sample and any values less than half of the associated electromagnetic background noise value were removed from the final sounding. This comparison of the trimmed means for the background soundings to the electromagnetic background noise is done because sounding data collected that approximates the background noise threshold have a higher variability and lower reliability with a lower signal to noise ratio. The final mean values for each time gate were saved as processed data files for use with the inversion software used for inverse modeling (Interpex Limited, 1996).</methdesc>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Helsel, D.R. and Hirsch, R.M.</origin>\n <pubdate>2002</pubdate>\n <title>Statistical methods in water resources</title>\n <geoform>book chapter</geoform>\n <serinfo>\n <sername>Techniques of Water Resources Investigations</sername>\n <issue>book 4, chapter A3</issue>\n </serinfo>\n <othercit>522 p.</othercit>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Interpex Limited</origin>\n <pubdate>1996</pubdate>\n <title>IX1D version 3 1D sounding inversion software</title>\n <geoform>software</geoform>\n <onlink>http://www.interpex.com</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n </method>\n <method>\n <methtype>Lab</methtype>\n <methdesc>Inverse Modeling:\n\nInverse modeling is the process of estimating the spatial distribution of subsurface resistivity from the measured voltage.

We ran five experiments for the analysis, Experiment A, Experiment B, Experiment C, Experiment D, and Experiment AuxIn. Experiment A tested multi-task learning for predicting streamflow with 25 years of training data and using a different model for each of 101 sites. Experiment B tested multi-task learning for predicting streamflow with 25 years of training data and using a single model for all 101 sites. Experiment C tested multi-task learning for predicting streamflow with just 2 years of training data. Experiment D tested multi-task learning for predicting water temperature with over 25 years of training data. Experiment AuxIn used water temperature as an input variable for predicting streamflow. These experiments and their results are described in detail in the WRR paper. Data from a total of 101 sites across the US was used for the experiments. The model input data and streamflow data were from the Catchment Attributes and Meteorology for Large-sample Studies (CAMELS) dataset (Newman et. al 2014, Addor et. al 2017). The water temperature data were gathered from the National Water Information System (NWIS) (U.S. Geological Survey, 2016). The contents of this item are broken into 13 files or groups of files aggregated into zip files:&lt;br&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;input_data_processing.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing the scripts used to collate the observations, input weather drivers, and catchment attributes for the multi-task modeling experiments &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;flow_observations.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing collated daily streamflow data for the sites used in multi-task modeling experiments. The streamflow data were originally accessed from the CAMELs dataset. The data are stored in csv and Zarr formats.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;temperature_observations.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing collated daily water temperature data for the sites used in multi-task modeling experiments. The data were originally accessed via NWIS. The data are stored in csv and Zarr formats. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;temperature_sites.geojson&lt;/strong&gt;: Geojson file of the locations of the water temperature and streamflow sites used in the analysis.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;model_drivers.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing the daily input weather driver data for the multi-task deep learning models. These data are from the Daymet drivers and were collated from the CAMELS dataset. The data are stored in csv and Zarr formats. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;catchment_attrs.csv&lt;/strong&gt;: Catchment attributes collatted from the CAMELS dataset. These data are used for the Random Forest modeling. For full metadata regarding these data see CAMELS dataset.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;experiment_workflow_files.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing workflow definitions used to run multi-task deep learning experiments. These are Snakemake workflows. To run a given experiment, one would run (for experiment A) \'snakemake -s expA_Snakefile --configfile expA_config.yml\' &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;river-dl-paper_v0.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing python code used to run multi-task deep learning experiments. This code was called by the Snakemake workflows contained in \'experiment_workflow_files.zip\'. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;random_forest_scripts.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing Python code and a Python Jupyter Notebook used to prepare data for, train, and visualize feature importance of a Random Forest model.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;plotting_code.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing python code and Snakemake workflow used to produce figures showing the results of multi-task deep learning experiments. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;strong&gt;results.zip&lt;/strong&gt;: A zip file containing results of multi-task deep learning experiments. The results are stored in csv and netcdf formats. The netcdf files were used by the plotting libraries in \'plotting_code.zip\'.

The models were developed in the TensorFlow deep learning framework in the Python programming language. Before model training, the data were processed using Python scripts that scaled and centered the data. Once the models were trained, they were evaluated by comparing observations to predictions.

First, they were gathered in support of conducting a condition assessment of fish habitat in fluvial waterbodies throughout the United States in support of the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP). Second, these data were intended to be made available to NFHP as well as other users interested in acquiring consistently-organized information over larger regions. This work was supported by local, state, and federal partners of NFHP, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. Because the condition assessment was conducted over such a large geographic region, we adopted a landscape approach for assessment which assumed that anthropogenic disturbances as well as natural characteristics in the watersheds affect a given unit of habitat which in turn would affect fishes. ## Preview Image  Thumbnail ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5876a433e4b0aa226e1b7805) [](/catalog/item/imap/5876a433e4b0aa226e1b7805) ## Spatial Services ArcGIS Mapping Service ## Communities - National Fish Habitat Partnership - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [Environmental condition](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEnvironmental+condition "Environmental condition (Environmental condition, Theme, None)") - [drainage basins](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Ddrainage+basins "drainage basins (drainage basins, Theme, Alexandria Digital Library Feature Type Thesaurus)") - [environmental assessment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Denvironmental+assessment "environmental assessment (environmental assessment, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [inlandWaters](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DinlandWaters "inlandWaters (inlandWaters, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [watershed](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwatershed "watershed (watershed, Theme, Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB) keywords)") Label - [DataProduct](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDataProduct "DataProduct (DataProduct, Label, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHPAssessment2015)") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") Other - [NFHP](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNFHP "NFHP") Catalog Filter Data Type - [Spatial Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSpatial+Data "Spatial Data (Spatial Data, Catalog Filter Data Type, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") - [Visual](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DVisual "Visual (Visual, Catalog Filter Data Type, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") Catalog Filter Contributor - [2015 National Assessment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3D2015+National+Assessment "2015 National Assessment (2015 National Assessment, Catalog Filter Contributor, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") - [NFHP Cooperator](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNFHP+Cooperator "NFHP Cooperator (NFHP Cooperator, Catalog Filter Contributor, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") Catalog Filter Data Theme - [2015 National Assessment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3D2015+National+Assessment "2015 National Assessment (2015 National Assessment, Catalog Filter Data Theme, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") - [Direct habitat alteration](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDirect+habitat+alteration "Direct habitat alteration (Direct habitat alteration, Catalog Filter Data Theme, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") - [Habitat Characterization](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHabitat+Characterization "Habitat Characterization (Habitat Characterization, Catalog Filter Data Theme, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") - [Lotic](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLotic "Lotic (Lotic, Catalog Filter Data Theme, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") - [NHDHR](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNHDHR "NHDHR (NHDHR, Catalog Filter Data Theme, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") - [Regional Assessment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DRegional+Assessment "Regional Assessment (Regional Assessment, Catalog Filter Data Theme, https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/bis/NFHP%20Data%20Catalog%20)") Types - [ArcGIS REST Map Service](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DArcGIS+REST+Map+Service "ArcGIS REST Map Service") - [Citation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DCitation "Citation") - [Map Service](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DMap+Service "Map Service") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/F7TT4P4X | ### ArcGIS REST Service Extension | boundingBox | | minY | 54.1652968033533 | | minX | -145.883197159024 | | maxY | 61.0303548716207 | | maxX | -128.340070672639 | | | enabledServices | | | KmlServer | | | url | https://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/nfhp2015/nfhp2015\_seak\_assessment/MapServer | ... show more ...

The tested sensors were the Xylem EXO (EXO), the Hach Solitax sc (Solitax), the In-Situ Aqua TROLL sensor installed onto a TROLL 600 sonde (TROLL 600), the Campbell Scientific OBS501 (OBS501), and the Observator ANALITE NEP–5000 (NEP–5000). The sensors were deployed at Pearl River at National Space Technology Laboratories Station, Mississippi (USGS site 02492620), and were serviced weekly.

The tested sensors were the Xylem EXO (EXO), the Hach Solitax sc (Solitax), the In-Situ Aqua TROLL sensor installed onto a TROLL 600 sonde (TROLL 600), the Campbell Scientific OBS501 (OBS501), and the Observator ANALITE NEP–5000 (NEP–5000). The sensors were deployed at Pearl River at National Space Technology Laboratories Station, Mississippi (USGS site 02492620), and were serviced weekly. In addition to the five in situ turbidity sensors, corresponding discrete samples were collected and analyzed during the evaluation on a calibrated Hach 2100N benchtop turbidimeter. The OBS501 malfunctioned early in the evaluation and eventually failed, resulting in meager data from the sensor. During this study, the four remaining sensors (minus the OBS501) changed similarly throughout the field test; however, sensor data from the EXO consistently demonstrated lower results than the Solitax, TROLL 600, and NEP–5000, possibly because of the variation in raw signal processing among manufacturers. Results from a single factor analysis of variance test and a Tukey Honestly Significant Difference test verified the low bias observed in the EXO data and indicated there was a significant difference between the EXO data and data from the Solitax, TROLL 600, and NEP–5000 but an insignificant difference among the data when the Solitax, TROLL 600, and NEP–5000 were compared to each other. ## Contacts Originator : [Teri N Snazelle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=58036) Metadata Contact : [Teri N Snazelle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=58036) Point of Contact : [Teri N Snazelle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=58036) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Observing Systems Division](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=77192) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5f620e0c82ce38aaa235c6dd?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5f620e0c82ce38aaa235c6dd?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5f620e0c82ce38aaa235c6dd?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Turbidity data \_USGS site 02492620 \_2017-2018\_metadata.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 7.47 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | TeriSnazelle\_ezDMP\_2020-09-15.pdf | | 2.67 KB | application/pdf | | 20160621newdeploy.csv | | 1,023.44 KB | text/csv | | combined field data.xlsx | | 1.84 MB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | CT response time test.csv.xlsx | | 44.86 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | CT response time test.csv | | 6 Bytes | text/csv | | test sonde log file.csv | | 9.62 KB | text/csv | | Log\_20151013\_103333 sonde 1 final field log.csv | | 4.29 MB | text/csv | | Log\_20151013\_103333 sonde one 11-5.csv | | 3.16 MB | text/csv | | Log\_20151013\_103333 10-28.csv | | 137.37 KB | text/csv | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Snazelle, T.T., 2020, Field comparison of five in situ turbidity sensors: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201123. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201123](https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201123 "https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201123") | ## Purpose Data were collected to compare the accuracy and performance of the in situ turbidity sensors. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5f620e0c82ce38aaa235c6dd) [](/catalog/item/imap/5f620e0c82ce38aaa235c6dd) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") Theme - [turbidity](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dturbidity "turbidity (turbidity, Theme, None)") Types - [Map Service](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DMap+Service "Map Service") - [OGC WFS Layer](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DOGC+WFS+Layer "OGC WFS Layer") - [OGC WMS Layer](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DOGC+WMS+Layer "OGC WMS Layer") - [OGC WMS Service](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DOGC+WMS+Service "OGC WMS Service") ## Provenance ## Additional Information ### Alternate Titles - Datasheet containing in situ data from five sensors, discrete turbidity data, and statistical test data ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/P9KDERG6 | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

In this investigation we wanted to expand the temporal coverage of the NASS CDL archive back to 2000 by creating yearly NASS CDL-like crop cover maps derived from a classification tree model algorithm. We used over 11 million crop sample records to train a classification tree algorithm and to develop a crop classification model (CCM). The model was used to create crop cover maps for the CONUS for years 2000-2013 at 250 meter spatial resolution. The CCM and the maps for years 2008-2013 were assessed for accuracy relative to downscaled NASS CDLs to 250 meter. The CCM performed well against a withheld test dataset with a prediction accuracy of over 90 percent. The assessment of the crop cover maps indicated that the model performed well spatially, placing crop cover pixels within their known domains. However, the model did show a bias toward the “Other” crop cover class which caused frequent misclassifications of pixels around the periphery of large crop cover patches and of pixels that form small, sparsely dispersed crop cover patches. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [U.S. Geological Survey, CLIMATE & LAND-USE](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey%2C+CLIMATE+%26+LAND-USE) Originator : [Aaron M.

Benthic samples collected on 6/12/2019, 7/11/2019, 8/26/2019, 1/22/2020, and 2/24/2020 were collected by the USGS Benthic Laboratory. CA Department of Water Resources (DWR) monthly monitoring data was used to fill in gaps between June 2019 and September 2020 to calculate bivalve biomass. Species abundance from DWR September 2020 data is reported with USGS Benthic Laboratory data. USGS WSC Sacramento collected sediment cores on 1/22/2020, 1/23/2020, 2/5/2020, 2/6/2020, 2/12/2020, 2/13/2020, 2/25/2020, 2/26/2020, 3/10/2020, and 3/11/2020. These cores were sent to the USGS Benthic Laboratory for benthic species processing.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20190612</begdate>\n <enddate>20200916</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>As needed</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-122.39067</westbc>\n <eastbc>-122.03955</eastbc>\n <northbc>38.11713</northbc>\n <southbc>38.08472</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>San Pablo Bay, CA; Grizzly Bay, CA</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>bivalve</themekey>\n <themekey>benthic ecosystems</themekey>\n <themekey>community ecology</themekey>\n <themekey>sediment transport</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB), USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>bivalves</themekey>\n <themekey>invertebrates</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>biota</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5f481e9b82ce4c3d1228bc22</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)</placekt>\n <placekey>California</placekey>\n <placekey>Grizzly Bay</placekey>\n <placekey>San Pablo Bay</placekey>\n <placekey>San Francisco Bay</placekey>\n <placekey>Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta</placekey>\n </place>\n <stratum>\n <stratkt>Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB), USGS Thesaurus</stratkt>\n <stratkey>benthos</stratkey>\n </stratum>\n <temporal>\n <tempkt>USGS Thesaurus</tempkt>\n <tempkey>seasons</tempkey>\n <tempkey>time periods</tempkey>\n </temporal>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>none</accconst>\n <useconst>none</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Francis Parchaso</cntper>\n <cntorg>WMA: Earth System Processes Division</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Biologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>Mail Stop 496, 345 Middlefield Road</address>\n <city>Menlo Park</city>\n <state>CA</state>\n <postal>94025</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>650-329-4586</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\n <datacred>California Department of Water Resources and USGS California Water Science Center</datacred>\n <taxonomy>\n <keywtax>\n <taxonkt>USGS Biocomplexity Thesaurus</taxonkt>\n <taxonkey>Annelids</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Crustaceans</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Bivalves</taxonkey>\n </keywtax>\n <taxonsys>\n <classsys>\n <classcit>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)</origin>\n <pubdate>2020</pubdate>\n <title>Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)</title>\n <geoform>ONLINE_REFERENCE</geoform>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>Washington, D.C.</pubplace>\n <publish>Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <onlink>http://itis.gov</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </classcit>\n </classsys>\n <classsys>\n <classcit>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Carlton, James T.</origin>\n <pubdate>2007</pubdate>\n <title>The Light and Smith Manual: Intertidal Invertebrates from Central California to Oregon</title>\n <geoform>BOOK</geoform>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>Berkeley and Los Angeles, California</pubplace>\n <publish>University of California Press</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <onlink>https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520239395/the-light-and-smith-manual</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </classcit>\n </classsys>\n <ider>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Emily L Zierdt Smith</cntper>\n <cntorg>WMA: Earth System Processes Division</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Biologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>Mail Stop 496, 345 Middlefield Road</address>\n <city>Menlo Park</city>\n <state>CA</state>\n <postal>94025</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>650-329-4574</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ider>\n <ider>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Kelly H.

Benthic grab samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Resources Mission Area (WMA) Benthic Laboratory and CA Department of Water Resources (DWR) monthly monitoring personnel. DWR and the USGS Benthic Laboratory used a 0.05m2 Ponar/van Veen grab to take four grabs at each station, screened the samples through a 0.5mm screen, preserved in 10-percent buffered formalin, and transferred to 70-percent ethyl alcohol with rose bengal dye. Sediment cores were collected by the USGS CA Water Science Center (WSC). Using cores that were 23 cm long and 10 cm wide, two cores were collected at each station (labeled \xe2\x80\x98Station location\xe2\x80\x99 followed by \xe2\x80\x98A\xe2\x80\x99 or \xe2\x80\x98B\xe2\x80\x99). The cores were then screened through a 0.5mm screen, preserved in 10-percent buffered formalin, and transferred to 70-percent ethyl alcohol with rose bengal dye. \n\nSamples were sorted by the USGS Benthic Laboratory in Menlo Park. Species were enumerated and identified to the lowest taxon using a USGS benthic invertebrate voucher collection. Annelids were not enumerated or identified by the USGS Benthic Laboratory. Biomass estimates were based on relationships between shell length and dry tissue weight that were calculated by the USGS using the standard techniques described in Thompson and others (2008). U.S. Geological Survey personnel measured the bivalves to the nearest mm using calipers and have been using this technique for over 20 years. Bivalve data from samples collected by DWR were used in biomass calculations.</methdesc>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Stevens Jr, D. L., &amp; Olsen, A.

This dataset was generated using in situ observations from Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring data (AIM) plots, weekly composites of harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) data, relevant environmental, vegetation, remotely sensed, and geophysical factors and machine learning techniques to develop fractional estimates of exotic annual grass cover at a 30-m spatial resolution for 2016 to 2019. A total of 10,906 AIM plots from years 2016 - 2019 were used to train an ensemble of regression tree models (n=5). Besides cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), other species such as Bromus arvensis L., Bromus briziformis, Bromus catharticus Vahl, Bromus commutatus, Bromus diandrus, Bromus hordeaceus L., Bromus japonicus, Bromus mardritensis L.,Bromus racemosus, Bromus rubens L., Bromus secalinus L., Bromus texensis (Shear) Hitchc., Taeniatherum caput-medusae were included in the study. The geographic coverage includes rangelands in the Great Basin, the Snake River Plain, the state of Wyoming, and contiguous areas. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Bruce K Wylie](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11505) Process Contact : [Bruce K Wylie](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11505) Originator : [Devendra Dahal](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=14949), [Neal J Pastick](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=22698), [Sujan Parajuli](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=76831), [Bruce K Wylie](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11505) Metadata Contact : [Sujan Parajuli](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=76831) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) USGS Mission Area : [Core Science Systems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Core+Science+Systems) SDC Data Owner : [Earthquake Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17470) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5edfe54382ce7e579c7088f4?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5edfe54382ce7e579c7088f4?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5edfe54382ce7e579c7088f4?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Fractional estimates of exotic annual grass cover in dryland ecosystems of western United States 2016-2019.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 23.55 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Confidence map of grass cover in the western US 2018.zip | | 234.84 MB | application/zip | | Confidence map of grass cover in the western US 2019.zip | | 255.96 MB | application/zip | | Confidence map of grass cover in the western US 2016.zip | | 251.85 MB | application/zip | | Confidence map of grass cover in the western US 2017.zip | | 254.57 MB | application/zip | | Annual estimate of grass cover in the western US 2018.zip | | 448.85 MB | application/zip | | Annual estimate of grass cover in the western US 2019.zip | | 465.55 MB | application/zip | | Annual estimate of grass cover in the western US 2016.zip | | 475.11 MB | application/zip | | Annual estimate of grass cover in the western US 2017.zip | | 483.48 MB | application/zip | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Pastick, N.J., Dahal, D., Wylie, B.K., Parajuli, S., Boyte, S.P., and Wu, Z., 2020, Characterizing Land Surface Phenology and Exotic Annual Grasses in Dryland Ecosystems Using Landsat and Sentinel-2 Data in Harmony: Remote Sensing, v. 12, no. 4, p. 725, https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12040725. | [https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12040725](https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12040725 "https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12040725") | ## Purpose The goal of this research is to develop an exotic annual grass mapping system that leverages in situ observations, remotely sensed datasets, and data mining techniques for mapping exotic annual grass (%) cover (30-m spatial resolution) throughout drylands ecosystems in the western United States.

Our definition of exotic annual grasses includes invasive annual Bromus and Medusahead (see above). \n\nEdaphic (e.g. POLARIS soil texture fraction, organic matter content, and available water capacity in the first 30 cm of the soil), topographical (National Elevation Dataset [NED; Gesch et al. 2018]), and weekly Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data, as predicted with a regression tree model using Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS), were extracted at each field site. Spectral data were extracted coincident with the timing of the field observations because exotic annual grass cover can vary substantially from year to year based on local weather and site conditions.\n\nThese data were divided into five random subsets. An ensemble of five regression tree models were then developed and optimized using cross-validation, while withholding a different one of the unique randomized subsets for testing each iteration. Regression tree models were constructed using an open-source version (GNU) of Cubist software and relevant environmental covariates as determined using tree-based feature selection algorithms and importance weights in sequential models (boosting or committee models).\n\nThe regression tree models were optimized using a grid search method and were then used to predict exotic fractional grass cover for each of the five permutations. This yielded both a median estimate and per-pixel mean of the median absolute differences of prediction consistency of exotic annual grass cover at 30 m resolution for the study area.\n\nThe final exotic annual grass cover map distributed here represent the median of the five predicted maps and per-pixel mean of the median absolute differences from all model iterations of these five maps which serves as an estimate of confidence.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200605</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Bruce K Wylie</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, LAND

The Paeroa Fault block is the largest exposed fault block within the TVZ, and it encompasses early and middle Pleistocene ignimbrites and sedimentary deposits that are buried throughout the Taupo-Reporoa Basin to the east. This map displays the volcanic and sedimentary geology of ~430 km2 of the Paeroa Fault block and the adjacent Te Weta Fault block at a scale of 1:50,000. Volcanic and sedimentary rocks are divided into the Reporoa Group, Whakamaru Group, and Huka Group (from oldest to youngest), which are overlain by relatively unfaulted late Pleistocene and Holocene surficial volcanic and sedimentary deposits. **This geologic map database is accompanied by a report, which includes the formatted geologic map and explanatory text, available at https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201021.** _The authors ask that users of the geologic map database cite both the database and the report:_ **Report:** Downs, D.T., Leonard, G.S., Wilson, C.J.N., and Rowland, J.V., 2020, Geologic map of the Paeroa Fault block and surrounding area, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2020-1021, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201021. **Database:** Downs, D.T., 2020, Database for the geologic map of the Paeroa Fault block and surrounding area, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9DYBBGX. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Drew T Downs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=67013) Originator : [Drew T Downs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=67013) Metadata Contact : [Drew T Downs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=67013) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Volcano Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17471) USGS Mission Area : [Natural Hazards](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Natural+Hazards) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5e69240ce4b01d50925cec6d?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5e69240ce4b01d50925cec6d?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5e69240ce4b01d50925cec6d?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | OFR 2020-1021 Data Release.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 14.52 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | OFR2020-1021\_Geodatabase.zip | | 2.18 MB | application/zip | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Downs, D.T., Leonard, G.S., Wilson, C.J.N., and Rowland, J.V., 2020, Geologic map of the Paeroa Fault block and surrounding area, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2020-1021 | [https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201021](https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201021 "https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201021") | ## Purpose Mapping was undertaken of the Paeroa Fault block and surrounding area to gain knowledge of the Quaternary eruptive history of this central portion of the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand.

If you are accessing the shapefile version of this geodatabase, they are derived from geodatabase feature classes and may contain abbreviated or shortened field names. The database contains two feature datasets: GeologicMap and TopographicBase. The GeologicMap feature dataset contains the spatial geologic data in feature classes. The TopographicBase feature dataset contains the spatial contour data in feature classes. Below is an attribute overview for the features found in the GeologicMap and TopographicBase feature datasets. All feature classes contain other fields similar to those specified by the GeMS database schema, even if they are not commonly used in the GeMS database schema. There are four line feature classes included in the dataset: ContactsAndFaults, Contours, Transportation, and Waterways. The ContactsAndFaults feature class contains the locations of the geologic contacts, faults, caldera, and water boundaries. The Type field contains the designations for each, and IsConcealed, ExistenceConfidence, IdentityConfidence, and LocationConfidenceMeters fields contain whether the object is concealed, how well the authors know of the lines existence and can recognize the line, and how well the authors can locate the line. The Contours feature class contains the locations and elevations of contour lines. The elevation field contains the elevation in meters above sea level. The Type field indicates whether the contour designation is an index contour or an intermediate contour. The Transportation feature class contains the roads and highway in the area. These types are stored in the Type field and the name of the highway is stored in the Label field. The Waterways feature class contains the streams in the area. These types are stored in the Type field. Three polygon feature classes are included in this dataset: MapUnitPolys, MapUnitOverlayPolys, and ContourAnnotationMask. The MapUnitPolys contains the boundaries for geologic units. Geologic unit identifier for each polygon is stored in the MapUnit field, and IdentityConfidence describes how well the authors can identify the map unit at this location. These MapUnit can be joined or related to geologic names and descriptions by using the MapUnit field in the DescriptionOfMapUnits table contained in this database. The MapUnitOverlayPolys feature class contains polygons outlining the different sedimentary deposits found in the surficial deposits group. How well the authors recognize these deposits is stored in the IdentityConfidence field. These feature classes also contain other fields specified by the GeMS database schema. The ContourAnnotationMask feature class is only used to create a mask so that the ContoursAnnotations labels can be clearly read and are not directly overlaying the contour lines. This feature class is not in the GeMS schema. Four tables are included in this database: DataSources, DescriptionOfMapUnits, GeoMaterialDict and Glossary. The DataSources table contains the references used in the creation of this map. The DataSourcesID is the foreign key to the DataSources_ID field in all other tables. The DescriptionOfMapUnits table contains the complete geologic unit name, age, and description for each of the geologic unit symbol on the map in the MapUnit, Name, Age, and Description fields. The GeoMaterialDict table provides definitions and a hierarchy for GeoMaterial names prescribed by the GeMS database schema. The Glossary table provides definitions in the Definition field for the terms used in the database. These tables also contain other fields specified by the GeMS database schema. This database also contains two annotation feature classes: MapAnnotations and the previously mentioned ContoursAnnotations. These feature classes contain geographic names, geologic unit symbols, transportation, and contour elevation labels. All fields defined by ESRI's annotation feature class schema.</eaover>\n <eadetcit>The entity and attribute information was generated by the authors.

Catalog B is constructed for the whole western U.S. with the intention of using only its part outside the UCERF3 zone in the final catalog. A uniform earthquake catalog is assembled by combining and winnowing pre-existing source catalogs. Each source-catalog entry is reformatted to a standard record that lists basic information (magnitude, hypocenter, origin time), three parameters for computing seismicity rates, and a comment field. For most earthquakes, source catalogs do not list moment magnitude, Mw. Consistent rules are applied to estimate Mw from other size measures, and the original measure is listed in the comment field. For some well-recorded earthquakes, Mw is derived from analysis of seismic waveforms. Computed seismicity rates may be biased if magnitudes: 1) follow an exponential distribution, and 2) are measured or estimated with uncertainty. For each earthquake we compute a uniform moment magnitude, Mwe (often, but not always, equal to Mw), and a counting factor, N*, that is a function of the magnitude uncertainty and the b value in the recurrence distribution. When earthquakes with Mwe greater than or equal to some mc are counted by N* (instead of unity), one gets the unbiased rate of mc+ earthquakes. Magnitude uncertainty is specified by sigma_m, the standard deviation of the magnitude error, taken from source catalogs or publications, or estimated based on the magnitude type and the era of the earthquake, taking into account greater uncertainties for older earthquakes. The catalog from this step lists all records from all source catalogs, including duplicates (from overlapping source catalogs), with a common format. All natural earthquakes and non-tectonic events are included.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2017</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Vector</direct>\n <ptvctinf>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>Point</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>96475</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n </ptvctinf>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <geograph>\n <latres>0.0005</latres>\n <longres>0.0005</longres>\n <geogunit>Decimal Degrees</geogunit>\n </geograph>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>D WGS 1984</horizdn>\n <ellips>WGS 1984</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257223563</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>wmm_rw.c1</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Master earthquake catalog for the western U.S., for use outside the UCERF3 zone (Catalog B)</enttypd>\n <enttypds>USGS</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n </detailed>\n <overview>\n <eaover>The first line of the catalog is a header line listing all of the fields in the catalog\nRecords for two earthquakes illustrate the catalog format:\n&gt;\n4.55 -65.630 49.440 15 1967 09 30 22 39 48. 0.240 4.55 1.165 NCE|mn,4.7\n5.65 -77.930 37.940 6 2011 08 23 17 51 05. 0.100 5.63 1.027 SLU|wo,5.65\n&gt;\n123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456\n&gt;\nField 1 lists Mw, fields 2 and 3 list longitude and latitude, and field 4 lists depth (km).

The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science website at http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood\_inundation/, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgage on the Platte River at Scottsbluff, Nebr. (station 06680500). Near-real-time stages at this streamgage may be obtained on the Internet from the USGS National Water Information System at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN or from the National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (site SBRN1) at https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/. Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated by using the current (2018) stage-discharge relation at the Platte River at Scottsbluff, Nebr., streamgage. The hydraulic model was then used to compute 10 water-surface profiles for flood stages at 1-foot (ft) intervals referenced to the streamgage datum and ranging from 9 ft, or near bankfull, to 18 ft, which exceeds the stage that corresponds to the estimated 1-percent annual exceedance probability flood (100-year recurrence interval flood). The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined with a Geographic Information System digital elevation model derived from light detection and ranging data having a 0.6-ft root mean square error and 2-ft horizontal resolution resampled to a 6-ft grid to delineate the area flooded at each water level. The availability of these maps, along with internet information regarding current stage from the USGS streamgage will provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for post flood recovery efforts. ## Child Items [(2)](/catalog/items?parentId=5bb7c619e4b0fc368e940f16) -

The maps were created in a GIS by combining the water-surface profiles and digital elevation model data. The digital elevation model (DEM) data were derived from light detection and ranging data (lidar) data that were collected during November, 2011 by Fugro Horizons Inc., Houston, Texas. The original lidar data have horizontal resolution of 4.5 ft and vertical accuracy of 1.18 ft at a 95 percent confidence level for the \xe2\x80\x9copen terrain\xe2\x80\x9d land-cover category (root mean squared error of 0.6 ft). Estimated flood-inundation boundaries for each simulated profile were developed with HEC-GeoRAS software. HEC-GeoRAS is a set of procedures, tools, and utilities for processing geospatial data in ArcGIS by using a graphical user interface. The interface allows the preparation of geometric data for import into HEC-RAS and processes simulation results exported from HEC-RAS. USGS personnel then modified the HEC-GeoRAS results to ensure a hydraulically reasonable transition of the boundary between modeled cross sections relative to the contour data for the land surface. The maps show estimated flood-inundated areas for each of the water-surface profiles that were generated by the hydraulic model.

Results described include dissolved gas modeling results, environmental tracer concentrations (tritium, tritiogenic helium-3, sulfur hexafluoride, and radiogenic helium-4), mean age and age distribution, and carbon-14 geochmical modeling results Dissolved gas modeling results (DGmodel) contains detailed information on the calibration of dissolved gas models to dissolved gas concentrations (neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and nitrogen). Calibration was done using methods described by Aeschbach-Hertig and others (1999) with modifications to include nitrogen gas (Weiss 1970). In most cases, a single set of noble gas data (neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) were used to determine recharge conditions (recharge temperature, excess air or entrapped air, fractionation). In cases where noble gas data were not available, multiple analyses of nitrogen and argon (collected sequentially on the same sample date) were used to determine recharge conditions. Environmental tracer results (Tracers) contain detailed information on calculations of environmental tracer data. Dissolved gas models were paired with sulfur hexafluoride and helium isotopes (3He/4He) and helium to determine concentrations of tritiogenic helium-3 (from decay of tritium; Solomon and Cook, 2000) and radiogenic helium-4 (from decay of uranium and thorium in aquifer materials; Solomon, 2000). Multiple tracer concentrations were computed when sites had multiple dissolved gas model results and analyses for sulfur hexafluoride or helium isotopes. Mean age and age distribution results (TracerLPM) contain final models of groundwater age by calibration of lumped parameter models to tracer concentrations (Jurgens and others, 2012). In cases where age was modeled with a binary lumped parameter model (BMM), the mean age was computed from the mean age and fraction of the two components in the mixture. Additional results for select sites, identified with a “-1” or “-2” suffix to USGS Station ID, detail the estimated range corrected 14C activity and groundwater mean age as a result of uncertainty in 14C geochemical correction. Please see the processing steps below and the main manuscript for additional details on the results presented in this table. Carbon-14 geochmical modeling results (Carbon14) contain input paramters and final gechmical models of carbon-14. Please see the processing steps below and the main manuscript for additional details on the results presented in this table.

Concentrations of noble gases (helium, neon, argon, xenon, and nitrogen) in cubic centimeters at standard temperature and pressure per gram of water and helium isotopes were analyzed at the USGS Noble Gas Laboratory (Hunt, 2015). Concentrations of carbon-14 (14C) in percent modern (pM) were analyzed at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute were de-normalized and converted to percent modern carbon (pmC) for age dating analysis (National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility, 2015). Tritium (3H) was analyzed by electrolytic enrichment-liquid scintillation at the USGS Stable Isotope and Tritium Laboratory in Menlo Park, California (Thatcher et al., 1977).</procdesc>\n <procdate>2017</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Recharge temperature, excess air or entrapped air (Ae and EA), and the fractionation factor (F) were calculated using Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe with the closed system equilibration model (CE) (Aeschbach-Hertig et al., 2000) by standard inverse technique (Newton method) minimizing the error-weighted misfit (\xcf\x872 ) between measured and modeled values (Aeschbach-Hertig et al., 1999; Manning and Solomon, 2003). Helium isotopes (3He and 4He) were used to determine the helium isotopic ratio of the sample to that of the atmosphere (R/Ra), the amount of helium derived from radiogenic sources (4Herad ) and the decay of tritium (3Hetrit) (Solomon 2000). Calculations of 4Herad and 3Hetrit assumed a terrigenic 3He/4He ratio of 2.8x10-8, a value within the measured range of helium production from U- and Th-series decay (Andrews 1985; Pearson et al. 1991). SF6 concentrations were corrected for excess air as derived from noble gas modeling and converted to air equilibrated concentrations for use in age modeling (Busenberg and Plummer, 2000).</procdesc>\n <procdate>2017</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Regional histories of atmospheric tracers in recharge were compiled and used as input to the program TracerLPM [Jurgens et al., 2012] for computing groundwater ages. Tritium concentrations in precipitation from 1953 to 2020 for the area covering the Glacial aquifer system were estimated from updated monthly 3H data. Atmospheric tritium records were compiled for 10 latitude-longitude combinations covering the Glacial aquifer system (Michel, 1989; written communication, 2011). Northern Hemisphere atmospheric mixing ratios of SF6 were obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Dating Laboratory (U.S. Geological Survey, 2016). Atmospheric records of 14C were compiled by combining data from the 2013 international radiocarbon calibration curve (IntCal13; Reimer et al., 2013) with modern historical tropospheric 14C data for the northern hemisphere (zone 2; Hua and others, 2013). Graphical relationships between measured 3H, tritiogenic helium-3 (3Hetrit), SF6, and 14C indicated that concentrations of 14C have been diluted by 14C-free sources of 14C in water recharged since 1950. Dilution was likely caused by dissolution of dolomite and limestone detrital minerals of the aquifer. Without correction for these reactions, mean groundwater ages will be older. Dilution of the atmospheric 14C signal was estimated through geochemical modeling using analytical correction models (Han and Plummer, 2013).</procdesc>\n <procdate>2017</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Mean groundwater ages were computed by calibrating lumped parameter models (LPMs) to concentrations of tracers (3H, 3Hetrit, SF6, CFCs, and 14C) in samples using the computer program TracerLPM (Jurgens and others, 2012).

The Mean Age describes the average age of the full age distribution for the sample which is described by the LPM name and Model Parameter 1 and 2. In the case of binary mixture models (indicated with a BMM prefix under LPM name) and additional set of optimized values for Mean Age, Model Parameter 1, and Model Parameter 2 are reported with an additional parameter, Fraction. The first set of optimized parameters describe the mean age and distribution parameters of the first mixing component while the additional set of optimized values reported for the binary models indicate the mean age and distribution parameters for the second component of the binary model, with the Fraction being the relative fractional contribution of the first mixing component. For the binary mixtures, the mean age of the mixture is calculated as follows: \nMean Age of Mixture = (Mean Age 1st comp. X Fraction) + (Mean Age 2nd Comp. X (1 \xe2\x80\x93 Fraction))\nThe age distribution model for each component is indicated by the LPM name. For example, a binary mixture of an exponential mixing model as the first component and a dispersion model as the second component will be indicated in LPM name as BMM-EMM-DM.

Over the last decade, this has had a warming effect on lakes. Water clarity is also known to effect water temperature in lakes. What is unclear is how a warming climate might interact with changes in water clarity in lakes. As part of a project at the USGS Office of Water Information, several water clarity scenarios were simulated for lakes in Wisconsin to examine how changing water clarity interacts with climate change to affect lake temperatures at a broad scale.\n\nThis data set contains the following parameters: year, WBIC, durStrat, max_schmidt_stability, mean_schmidt_stability_JAS, mean_schmidt_stability_July, SthermoD_mean_JAS, SthermoD_mean, lake_average_temp, peak_lake_average_temp, lake_average_temp_JAS, mean_epi_temp, mean_hypo_temp, mean_surf_temp, mean_bottom_temp, peak_surf_temp, peak_bottom_temp, mean_surf_temp_JAS, mean_bottom_temp_JAS, mean_bottom_temp_365, mean_surf_temp_365, mean_1m_temp, mean_surf_JA, GDD_wtr_5c, GDD_wtr_10c, volume_mean_m_3, simulation_length_days, mean_volumetric_temp, kd, out_val calculated for 2210 lakes.</abstract>\n <purpose>Hydrological research and climate science.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>19790101</begdate>\n <enddate>20120101</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>model estimates</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>Not planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-92.91</westbc>\n <eastbc>-86.75</eastbc>\n <northbc>47.54</northbc>\n <southbc>42.48</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>none</themekt>\n <themekey>water temperature</themekey>\n <themekey>lakes</themekey>\n <themekey>climate change</themekey>\n <themekey>water clarity</themekey>\n <themekey>hydrodynamic model</themekey>\n <themekey>limnology</themekey>\n <themekey>water quality</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>environment</themekey>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>007</themekey>\n <themekey>012</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:57473491e4b07e28b663d822</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Department of Commerce, 1995, Countries, Dependencies, Areas of Special Sovereignty, and Their Principal Administrative Divisions, Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 10-4, Washington, D.C., National Institute of Standards and Technology</placekt>\n <placekey>United States</placekey>\n <placekey>US</placekey>\n </place>\n <place>\n <placekt>U.S. Department of Commerce, 1987, Codes for the identification of the States, the District of Columbia and the outlying areas of the United States, and associated areas (Federal Information Processing Standard 5-2): Washington, D.

Methods Specific Conductance Data An In-Situ Aqua Troll 100 Data Logger was used to measure and store specific conductance measurements. Specific conductance measurements were made every 15 minutes. The specific conductance monitoring data were periodically checked against discrete measurements. The hand-held field meter used for discrete measurements and the continuous specific conductance probe were calibrated using NIST traceable standards and measurements were made following the procedure described in the USGS National Field Manual (USGS, 2015). Water Quality Data Samples were collected near the specific conductance monitoring sites. At the time of collection, all waters samples were filtered through a syringe filter (0.45-micrometer). Two splits of the filtered water were retained for chemical analyses, including an unacidified (FU) sample for determination of anion concentrations and a nitric acid preserved (FA; 1% volume-to-volume concentrated trace-metal grade nitric acid) sample for cation and trace metal analyses. During sample collection, the water temperature, specific conductance, and pH were measured. Concentrations of chloride, fluoride, bromide, and sulfate were determined with an ion chromatograph (Dionex DX600). Analytical errors for these constituents were typically less than 2%. Total alkalinity as bicarbonate was determined by titration with sulfuric acid to the bicarbonate end-point. The analytical error in alkalinity concentrations was approximately ± 3%. Concentrations of cations and trace metals were determined with an inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer Optima 7300 DV) following the methods described in Ball and others (2010). Arsenic concentrations for selected samples was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer PinAAcle 900T). Quality Control (QC) analyses included standard reference water samples, sample replicates, and blanks. The accuracy of the water chemistry data was checked by calculating charge and specific conductance balance using PHREEQCI (McCleskey, 2018; McCleskey and others, 2012).

This dataset consists of data collected at 10 burned and 10 grazed remnant Minnesota prairies during the summers of 2016 and 2017. We measured Asclepias spp. (milkweeds, monarch host plants) frequency, forb frequency, and adult monarch butterfly abundance at sites owned and managed by the Minnesota DNR, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, The Nature Conservancy, and private landowners. ## Summary We studied the direct and indirect impacts of using fire and grazing to manage remnant prairies on adult monarch abundance.

We then calculated the percentage of the land within the buffer that was classified as prairie.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <method>\n <methtype>Field</methtype>\n <methdesc>Site selection methods: we selected remnant prairies that had never been plowed and that had documented management histories of either grazing or prescribed fire from 2005 through the completion of our study in 2017. We chose 20 sites, all within the Prairie Parkland Province of Minnesota. Sites ranged in size from 1.13 to 144.7 hectares. We obtained management histories and permission to survey the sites from private landowners and land managers at multiple agencies including The Nature Conservancy, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the MN Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR). To minimize variability, the grazed (n = 10) and burned (n = 10) sites in which we surveyed insects were selected to represent similar geographical distributions and size ranges. \nVegetation sampling methods: We surveyed vegetation twice at each site, once in 2016 and again in 2017. We used 0.5 x 2-m plots arrayed equidistantly on transects to estimate the frequency (proportion of plots occupied) of Asclepias and other forb species. Frequency was estimated whether or not plants were in bloom. The randomly placed transects were stratified to sample wet, mesic, and dry prairie types at each site. Plots were distributed along transects in proportion to the transect length and were at least 10 m from the ends of transects to avoid potential edge effects. Plots were oriented perpendicular to the transect, and the number of plots per site was proportional to the size of the site, with a minimum of 5 plots and a maximum of 30 plots in any given site. \nMonarch butterfly sampling methods: Monarchs were surveyed three times each summer for two summers (June 15 through August 31 in 2016 and May 14 through August 18 in 2017). We used a modification of the standardized Pollard Walk for relative abundance. During each site visit, the observer walked 400m of transects at a steady pace of 10m/minute and recorded all individuals seen within 2.5m on both sides, 5m ahead, and 5m above. Surveys were conducted, when possible, between 0930 h and 1830 h when temperatures were above 18\xe2\x84\x83, sustained winds less than 17 km/h, and cloud cover was &lt;50% with no precipitation. Butterfly surveys were all conducted by the same observer.</methdesc>\n </method>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Point</direct>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <geograph>\n <latres>1.0E-5</latres>\n <longres>1.0E-4</longres>\n <geogunit>Decimal degrees</geogunit>\n </geograph>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>World Geodetic System 1984</horizdn>\n <ellips>WGS 84</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>MonarchAbundanceBySite.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>This data set contains monarch abundances, frequency of all forb and Asclepias species, and percent prairie of surrounding landscape from 10 burn-only and 10 graze-only remnant prairie sites in western Minnesota in 2016 and 2017.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Originator defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>CommonName</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>The common name of each butterfly species.

At some sites, stream drying occurred over some time periods and in those cases, measurements are not representative of water temperature. To identify drying periods, temperature data for each site was graphed over the period of record and qualitative assessments of these graphs were used to parse out dry periods (inferred from spikes or outliers in temperature measurements). Water temperature measurements at dates where sites were deemed "dry" or "likely dry" from these assessments were removed from the final database prior to publication. These observations represented less than 1% of the temperature records for all sites. Values in the database determined to be anomalous due to drying were replaced with "NA". Following editing, water temperature data from all thermographs for the period of record were merged to form the "Water_hourly_WY2012to2016" entity. \n\nAirObs_hourly_WV2012to2016: Air temperature data downloaded from each site thermograph were uploaded to excel and Microsoft Access data tables for storage and preliminary editing and analysis. At some sites, air temperature data exhibited steep spikes in air temperature at specific mid-day time periods due to direct exposure to sunlight that caused rapid heating. In these cases, we performed a "spike" correction to air temperature data whereby hourly measurements that were &gt;3 degrees (C) different from the previous hourly measurement were replaced with the average of the temperature measurement from the hour before and the hour after. measurements. Following editing, air temperature data from all thermographs were merged to form the "AirObs_hourly_WV2012to2016" entity.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <indspref>Please see the .csv with UTM coordinates for temperature logger site locations called "TempSites_UTMcoords.csv".

As monitoring efforts have improved, they have been detected in not only freshwater, but also in estuary and marine waters. To assess the occurrence of cyanotoxins and algal toxins in California estuaries, the NOAA MERHAB funded project collected samples monthly from 11 Californian estuary locations, with 5 locations sampled in 2016 as event response. This data release includes liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) results for 21 cyanotoxins and algal toxins in estuary samples collected from California in 2016-2017. ## Summary Cyanobacteria known to produce cyanotoxins have been reported worldwide.

Dissolved samples were filtered by 0.7-\xc2\xb5m filters in the field. Samples were frozen and shipped to KSWSC OGRL. All whole water samples were processed through three sequential freeze/thaw cycles to lyse cells and release intracellular toxins. Dissolved toxin samples did not go through three sequential freeze/thaw cycles. After the final thaw for whole water samples and the first thaw for dissolved toxin samples, samples were filtered using 0.7 micrometer (\xc2\xb5m) filters. The filters were extracted with acidic methanol (1% formic acid in methanol) and combined with filtered sample. Processed samples were kept frozen until analysis.

The Cottonwood Lake Study Area in Stutsman County, North Dakota contains wetlands representative of multiple positions along a hydrologic continuum, from groundwater recharge to discharge. The extensive history of data collection in the Cottonwood Lake Study Area provides a unique opportunity to assess the impact of climate variability on ecosystem condition and productivity. The Cottonwood Lake Study Area is part of a complex of Waterfowl Production Areas in Stutsman County, North Dakota owned and managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>1986</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-99.100530</westbc>\n <eastbc>-99.095452</eastbc>\n <northbc>47.103733</northbc>\n <southbc>47.100222</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>aerial photography</themekey>\n <themekey>image collections</themekey>\n <themekey>surface water (non-marine)</themekey>\n <themekey>wetland ecosystems</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Categories</themekt>\n <themekey>environment</themekey>\n <themekey>imageryBaseMapsEarthCover</themekey>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>Global Change Master Directory</themekt>\n <themekey>EARTH SCIENCE&gt;BIOSPHERE&gt;ECOSYSTEMS&gt;AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS&gt;WETLANDS</themekey>\n <themekey>EARTH SCIENCE&gt;BIOSPHERE&gt;ECOSYSTEMS&gt;TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS&gt;WETLANDS</themekey>\n <themekey>PLATFORM&gt;AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5874f50ee4b0a829a320bc4f</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System</placekt>\n <placekey>United States of America</placekey>\n <placekey>North Dakota</placekey>\n <placekey>Stutsman County</placekey>\n </place>\n <place>\n <placekt>None</placekt>\n <placekey>Northern Great Plains</placekey>\n <placekey>Prairie Pothole Region</placekey>\n <placekey>Cottonwood Lake Study Area</placekey>\n </place>\n <place>\n <placekt>FWS Cadastral Database</placekt>\n <placekey>CHASE LAKE WETLAND MANAGEMENT DISTRICT&gt;STUTSMAN COUNTY WATERFOWL PRODUCTION AREA&gt;Eddy</placekey>\n <placekey>CHASE LAKE WETLAND MANAGEMENT DISTRICT&gt;STUTSMAN COUNTY WATERFOWL PRODUCTION AREA&gt;Shuler</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>Authorized distribution is strongly recommended to be direct from the distributor described above or from U.S. Geological Survey Science Base Catalog Service (hhtps://www.sciencebase.gov).

The first method is PART (Rutledge, 1993), which uses streamflow partitioning to estimate a daily record of baseflow. It is intended for analyzing a groundwater flow system that is characterized by diffuse areal recharge to the water table and groundwater discharge to a stream. The second computer program is HYSEP (Sloto and Crouse, 1996), which can be used to separate the hydrograph into baseflow and surface runoff components. There are three different methods associated with HYSEP: Fixed_interval, Sliding_interval, Local_minimum. The program also performs frequency and duration analyses on both components. The third computer program is BFI (Wahl and Wahl, 1998), which combines a local minimums analysis with a recession slope test. The program estimates the annual base flow volume and computes an annual baseflow index for multiple years of data. There are two methods associated with BFI: Standard and Modified. The two methods differ only in the test where they identify turning points (f) on the base flow hydrograph.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2017</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Table3_NVASA_average_annual_streamflow_runoff_and_baseflow_estimates_1904_to_2015 was compiled to present average values of streamflow, runoff, and baseflow for each of the 312 gaged basins. The average values were calculated using a post-processing python script that averaged the annual estimates published in Table2_NVASA_annual_streamflow_runoff_and_baseflow_estimates_1904_to_2015 for each gaged basin for the period of record. The baseflow index for each method was calculated as baseflow (inches) divided by streamflow (inches) and provides an estimate of the percentage of streamflow contributed by baseflow.</procdesc>\n

Although no errors appear to have been introduced by the process used to compile them, an unknown number of errors were present in the original tables in NWIS and were not corrected for this study. AltFlow data were assessed for consistency, and summaries of AltFlow tables were assessed for relations to subjective and quantifiable aspects of rating stability as described by Messinger and Burgholzer (2017).</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>Development and validation of these datasets, and some of their limitations, are described by Messinger and Burgholzer (2017). Several important sources of error in provisional flow data that are corrected in final flow data are missed by the process used to develop AltFlows. Most important and common are errors that are not caused by changes to the control and therefore are not corrected by changing ratings or shifts. These include ice-affected flows or missing records, which generally are estimated by hydrographic comparison to other streamgages. These errors might be corrected or at least adjusted, or daily flows might be estimated for the period that was in error. \nReliability of the stage record is equal in importance with rating stability in their effects on the reliability of a site\xe2\x80\x99s flow data in real time. The likelihood of plugged intakes or buried or exposed orifices is a function of the frequency of sediment deposition at a given point in a stream and, as such, is a characteristic of a given site. A streamgage may have a stable control but still be prone to recurring problems with the stage record that result in unreliable provisional data. The method developed to estimate Qprev in this study does not account for problematic stage records. \nAnother difference between provisional and approved data not accounted for by the AltFlow procedure is that expanded shifted ratings were selected as snapshots at the times when flow was measured and the tens of thousands of other rating changes were ignored. Days when measurements were made have no particular relevance to the beginning or ending of shifts and rating changes. As discussed previously, about one-third (7,346 of 23,126) of shift entries began on days when flow was measured, and of these, 2,679 were apparently procedural entries for shifts that were implemented in multiple steps throughout the day. Forty-one percent of unique shifts (6,842 of 16,853) began on days of peaks, either floods or high-flow pulses, and another 7 percent (1,144 of 16,853) began the day after a peak. Many of the shifts that began on days when measurements were made began on days of peaks and high-flow pulses. Prorating certain types of shifts through time is routine; the AltFlow procedure does not account for these changed shifts. As a result, the AltFlow time series is unlikely to have much relation to provisional data as they initially appeared on the web, with the possible exception of the end of the study period. AltFlows do, however, provide information on changes in the shifted rating from site visit to site visit, and it provides information on how that shifted rating changed throughout the range of observed flows.</logic>\n <complete>Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract and by Messinger and Burgholzer (2017).</complete>\n <posacc>\n <horizpa>\n <horizpar>No horizontal positional information is provided in this dataset.</horizpar>\n </horizpa>\n <vertacc>\n <vertaccr>No vertical positional information is provided in this dataset.</vertaccr>\n </vertacc>\n </posacc>\n <lineage>\n <srcinfo>\n <srccite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>U.S. Geological Survey</origin>\n <pubdate>2013</pubdate>\n <title>National Water Information System</title>\n <geoform>rdb</geoform>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>Richmond, VA</pubplace>\n <publish>U.S. Geological Survey</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <onlink>https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </srccite>\n <typesrc>Expanded shifted streamgage rating tables</typesrc>\n <srctime>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>19901001</begdate>\n <enddate>20130930</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <srccurr>Data were retrieved from NWIS during 2015.

Results prepared by participating laboratories were provided to project staff through electronic transmission and verified and quality assured by project leads. Data files were compiled and finalized for publication after quality assurance steps were complete. Tables should be opened as text (.txt) documents to preserve integrity of station identification numbers and any leading or trailing zeros.\n\nThe following method descriptions for atrazine and sweeteners were provided by Rachael F. Lane.\nSamples were analyzed for atrazine using the LCAZ method, LCAZ is research method that was developed at the Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory (U.S. Geological Survey Kansas Water Science Center) as a replacement for the atrazine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Water samples were analyzed for atrazine using a direct inject ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) with positive electrospray ionization (ESI) method. \nSamples, standards, and blanks were prepared for analysis by the addition of 4 mL sample or water to a vial, spiking with the surrogate internal standard (atrazine D5), and filtering with a 0.2 micron GHP syringe filter. A duplicate sample, matrix spiked sample, blank sample, and a check standard were analyzed after every tenth sample. Standard curve, check standards, and blank samples were prepared in type I water (18.2M\xe2\x84\xa6-cm, &lt;10 ppb TOC) and were processed the same as the environmental water samples. \nChromatographic separation was performed on a Waters Acquity H-class bio UPLC using a Waters Acquity BEH C18 1.7 \xce\xbcm, 100x2.1 mm column with a six minute gradient consisting of 0.3% acetic acid in water, and 0.3% acetic acid in acetonitrile/methanol (50/50). \nThe compounds were analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring. Compounds were identified using retention times, the m/z of the precursor ion, the m/z of two fragment ions, and the ratio of the fragment ions. The detected compounds were quantitated against a standard curve using the ratio of the area of one ion (quantifying ion) of the analyte to the area of the respective ion of the internal standard. The method reporting limit was 0.1 \xc2\xb5g/L. \n\nSamples were analyzed for sweeteners using the LCSU method, LCSU is currently a research method that was developed at the Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory (Kansas Water Science Center). Water samples were analyzed for acesulfame K, aspartame, neotame, saccharin, and sucralose using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) with electrospray ionization \n(ESI) using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Samples were analyzed in positive ion mode for aspartame and neotame and in negative ion mode for acesulfame K, saccharin, and sucralose. Samples (123 mL) were extracted using 500 mg HLB SPE cartridges (Waters Corp., Milford, Ma). Aspartame-d5, neotame-d3, acesulfame K-d4, saccharin-13C6, and sucralose-d6 were used as surrogate standards. Standard curve, check standards, and blank samples were prepared in type I water (18.2M\xe2\x84\xa6-cm, &lt;10 ppb TOC). \nSamples, standards, and blanks were prepared for analysis by adding 122-mL sample, 900 \xc2\xb5L of a 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7), and 100 \xc2\xb5L of 10% formic acid. A duplicate sample, matrix spiked sample, and a carryover blank were analyzed after every tenth sample. A check standard was analyzed after every twenty samples and blank samples were interspersed between the environmental samples. All standard solutions, blanks, and matrix spikes were treated the same as the environmental water samples. \nSPE cartridges were rinsed with 4 mL methanol followed by 4 mL water. The prepared samples were extracted using a 24-port vacuum rack with Teflon tubing attached to 6-ml SPE cartridge adapters. The SPE cartridges were then allowed to dry for 30 min before being eluted using positive pressure (nitrogen) through a 0.2 micron PTFE filter into glass test tubes with 3 x 4-mL aliquots of methanol. Samples were then evaporated at 45\xc2\xb0C to a volume of 25 \xc2\xb5L and brought to a final volume of 350 \xc2\xb5L with a 95/5 water/methanol solution. The samples were transferred to Waters max recovery vials and stored at 4\xc2\xb0C until analysis. \nChromatographic separation was performed on a Waters Acquity H-class bio UPLC with a Waters Acquity HSS T3 1.8 um, 100x2.1 mm column and mobile phase A, 0.3 % formic acid, and B, 0.3 % formic acid acetonitrile/methanol (50/50%) for positive ion mode and mobile phase A, 0.3 % formic acid, and B, methanol for negative ion mode. \nThe compounds were analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Compounds were identified using retention times, the m/z of the precursor ion, the m/z of the fragment ions, and the ratio of the fragment ions. The detected compounds were quantitated using the ratio of the area of one ion (quantifying ion) of the analyte to the area of the respective ion of the surrogate internal standard. The reporting levels were: 0.002, 0.0003, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.1 \xc2\xb5g/L for aspartame, neotame, acesulfame K, saccharin, and sucralose respectively \nMethod modified from: \nImma Ferrer, E.

The herd, which numbers between 9,000 -13,000, winters in Jackson Hole. Most of the herd winters in the sagebrush basins and irrigated fields of the National Elk Refuge, with less than a quarter of the herd wintering in the Gros Ventre drainage to the east. Migrating animals travel an average one-way distance of 39 miles, with some migrating as far as 168 miles. The herd is partially migratory, containing both migrant and residents.

Most of the herd winters in the sagebrush basins and irrigated fields of the National Elk Refuge, with less than a quarter of the herd wintering in the Gros Ventre drainage to the east. Migrating animals travel an average one-way distance of 39 miles, with some migrating as far as 168 miles. The herd is partially migratory, containing both migrant and residents. In spring, the migrants move north on either side of Jackson Lake, into the eastern foothills of the Teton Range and into the upper drainages of the Snake River and the southern portion of Yellowstone National Park. A smaller segment migrates east up the Gros Ventre River drainage and its upper tributaries. A study by the National Elk Refuge documented a long-term reduction in the migratory segment of the herd between 1978 and 2012. This trend is thought to be driven by declining calf recruitment of the migratory segment. Few obstacles to migration exist for this herd, which moves through a vast expanse of habitats managed by either the National Forest or National Park system. These data provide the location of migration routes for Elk (Cervus canadensis) in the Jackson herd in Wyoming. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models using 595 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 247 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2-8 hours. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Alyson Courtemanch](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Alyson+Courtemanch), [Wyoming Game and Fish Department](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Wyoming+Game+and+Fish+Department) Originator : [Alyson Courtemanch](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Alyson+Courtemanch), [Eric Cole](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Eric+Cole), [Sarah Dewey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Sarah+Dewey) Metadata Contact : [Alyson Courtemanch](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Alyson+Courtemanch), [Wyoming Game and Fish Department](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Wyoming+Game+and+Fish+Department) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5f8db61982ce32418791d56d?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5f8db61982ce32418791d56d?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5f8db61982ce32418791d56d?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 17.61 KB | | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.dbf | | 266.82 KB | | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.prj | | 435 Bytes | | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.shp | | 4.36 MB | | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.shx | | 5.18 KB | Shapefile: Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.zip ## Related External Resources Type: Map Viewer | | | | --- | --- | | Western Migrations Data Viewer | [https://westernmigrations.net](https://westernmigrations.net "https://westernmigrations.net") | Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States | [https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205101](https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205101 "https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205101") | ## Purpose Across the western U.S., many ungulate herds must migrate seasonally to access resources and avoid harsh winter conditions. Because these corridors traverse vast landscapes (i.e., up to 150 miles), they are increasingly threatened by roads, fencing, subdivisions and other development. Over the last decade, many new tracking studies have been conducted on migratory herds, and analytical methods have been developed that allow for population-level corridors and stopovers to be mapped and prioritized. In 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey assembled a Corridor Mapping Team to provide technical assistance to western states working to map bison, elk, moose, mule deer, and pronghorn corridors using existing GPS data. Based out of the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, the team consists of federal scientists, university researchers, and biologists and analysts from participating state agencies. In its first year, the team has worked to develop a standardized analytical and computational methods and a workflow applicable to data sets typically collected by state agencies. In 2019, the team completed analyses necessary to map corridors, stopovers, and winter ranges in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. A total of 26 corridors, 16 migration routes, 25 stopovers, and 9 winter ranges, were mapped across these states and are included in this project. The Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States report and associated map archive provides the means for corridors to be taken into account by state and federal transportation officials, land and wildlife managers, planners, and other conservationists working to maintain big game corridors in the western states. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5f8db61982ce32418791d56d) [](/catalog/item/imap/5f8db61982ce32418791d56d) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ScienceBase WFS ## Communities - Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [animal behavior](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Danimal+behavior "animal behavior (animal behavior, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [migration (organisms)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmigration+%28organisms%29 "migration (organisms) (migration (organisms), Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [migration route](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmigration+route "migration route (migration route, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [migratory species](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmigratory+species "migratory species (migratory species, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Jackson](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DJackson "Jackson (Jackson, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [United States](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUnited+States "United States (United States, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Wyoming](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWyoming "Wyoming (Wyoming, Place, Common geographic areas)") Types - [Downloadable](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DDownloadable "Downloadable") - [Map Service](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DMap+Service "Map Service") - [OGC WFS Layer](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DOGC+WFS+Layer "OGC WFS Layer") - [OGC WMS Layer](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DOGC+WMS+Layer "OGC WMS Layer") - [Shapefile](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DShapefile "Shapefile") ## Provenance ## Additional Information ### Shapefile Extension | boundingBox | | minY | 43.200717751601644 | | minX | -111.00833957290104 | | maxY | 44.320471420690595 | | maxX | -109.75968547450961 | | | files | | name | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.dbf | | contentType | text/plain | | pathOnDisk | \_\_disk\_\_88/a5/53/88a5539ec930b5f588bd1a608f8f9d03080a62dc | | imageWidth | 580 | | imageHeight | 435 | | size | 273226 | | dateUploaded | Mon Oct 19 09:51:53 MDT 2020 | | name | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.prj | | contentType | text/plain | | pathOnDisk | \_\_disk\_\_07/6f/f0/076ff0c780804f590f8451d716e8eb0253b1eb93 | | imageWidth | 580 | | imageHeight | 435 | | size | 435 | | dateUploaded | Mon Oct 19 09:51:53 MDT 2020 | | name | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.shp | | contentType | x-gis/x-shapefile | | pathOnDisk | \_\_disk\_\_ed/d0/3e/edd03ebc50db293352b1b756fbf9af56ddc1b7f0 | | size | 4567124 | | dateUploaded | Mon Oct 19 09:51:53 MDT 2020 | | name | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.shx | | contentType | x-gis/x-shapefile | | pathOnDisk | \_\_disk\_\_ba/f4/91/baf4914eb1c02ab461c6d0ba9af835b4106a4c16 | | size | 5300 | | dateUploaded | Mon Oct 19 09:51:53 MDT 2020 | | name | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019.xml | | contentType | application/fgdc+xml | | pathOnDisk | \_\_disk\_\_52/11/e4/5211e41e845225f665bc531bdf641cc5270be667 | | dateUploaded | Mon Nov 09 17:21:22 MST 2020 | | originalMetadata | true | | checksum | | value | 19aba216d3329c1fe4e26ee3c6bc32b1 | | type | MD5 | | | | geometryType | MultiLineString | | name | Elk\_WY\_Jackson\_Routes\_Ver1\_2019 | | nativeCrs | EPSG:5070 | ... show more ...

To identify spring and fall migration start and end dates for a given individual in a given year, we visually inspected the Net Squared Displacement (NSD) curve (Bunnefeld et al. 2011, Bastille-Rousseau et al. 2016) alongside digital maps of the animal\xe2\x80\x99s movement trajectory (Merkle and others, 2017). The NSD represents the square of the straight-line distance between any GPS location of an animal\xe2\x80\x99s movement trajectory and a point within the animal\xe2\x80\x99s winter range. When an animal stays within a defined home range, the NSD varies relatively little over time as the animal travels. However, when an animal migrates away from its winter range, the NSD of each successive location increases until it settles in its summer range (Fig. 1). The days with clear breakpoints in the NSD curves represent the start and end dates for migration and were used to define migration sequences for spring and fall migration. Migration routes were mapped by joining successive GPS locations within each given migration sequence.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200518</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Vector</direct>\n <ptvctinf>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>String</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>650</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n </ptvctinf>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <mapproj>\n <mapprojn>Albers Conical Equal Area</mapprojn>\n <albers>\n <stdparll>29.5</stdparll>\n <stdparll>45.5</stdparll>\n <longcm>-96.0</longcm>\n <latprjo>23.0</latprjo>\n <feast>0.0</feast>\n <fnorth>0.0</fnorth>\n </albers>\n </mapproj>\n <planci>\n <plance>coordinate pair</plance>\n <coordrep>\n <absres>0.6096</absres>\n <ordres>0.6096</ordres>\n </coordrep>\n <plandu>meters</plandu>\n </planci>\n </planar>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>North_American_Datum_1983</horizdn>\n <ellips>GRS_1980</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257222101</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Elk_WY_Jackson_Routes_Ver1_2019.shp Attribute Table</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Table containing attribute information associated with the data set.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>FID</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Internal feature number.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>ESRI</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Shape</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Feature geometry.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>ESRI</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Coordinates defining the features.</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>mig</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Unique route ID</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Unique identifier for route merging animal ID, season, and year</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>firstdate</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Beginning date of migration</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Beginning date of migration</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>lastdate</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Ending date of migration</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Ending date of migration</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>id</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Animal ID</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Unique animal identification number</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>season</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Season of migration route</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>fa</edomv>\n <edomvd>fall migration</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>sp</edomv>\n <edomvd>spring migration</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>year</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Year of migration route</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>2006.0</rdommin>\n <rdommax>2018.0</rdommax>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n </detailed>\n </eainfo>\n <distinfo>\n <distrib>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntorgp>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase</cntorg>\n </cntorgp>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>Denver Federal Center, Building 810, Mail Stop 302</address>\n <city>Denver</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80225</postal>\n <country>USA</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>1-888-275-8747</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </distrib>\n <distliab>Dataset authors will retain ownership of the data provided.

Two types of TF are provided for most sites, impedance data relating horizontal electric and magnetic fields and tipper data, relating vertical and horizontal magnetic fields. All of the TFs provide input data for subsequent MT inversion and interpretation. They are estimated from the raw EM time series by (a) Fourier transforming data in a series of short overlapping time windows, and (b) applying robust regression methods to calculate TFs from the resulting spectral field estimates. For remote reference processing, data from one or more synchronously recording sites are used for more effective signal/noise separation. The supplied TFs are calculated for a range of periods (which may vary, depending on instrumentation and deployment time), as well as estimation error covariances. \nReferences relevant to this release include: Chave, A.D. and D.

The flood-inundation maps represent a range of selected water-surface elevations at USGS streamflow-gaging station 08178880 Medina River at Bandera, Texas (hereinafter referred to as the “Bandera station”). In this study, flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System) (Davidian, 1984; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2016a, b). \[...\] ## Summary Digital flood-inundation maps were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Bandera County River Authority and Groundwater District and with the Texas Water Development Board for a 23-mile reach of the Medina River extending from Winans Creek to English Crossing, Texas. The flood-inundation maps represent a range of selected water-surface elevations at USGS streamflow-gaging station 08178880 Medina River at Bandera, Texas (hereinafter referred to as the “Bandera station”). In this study, flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System) (Davidian, 1984; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2016a, b). Two cross-section level surveys were performed by U.S. Geological Survey crews near the U.S. Geological Survey streamflow gaging station 08178880 Medina River at Bandera, Texas, and 08178980 Medina River above English Crossing near Pipe Creek, Texas, in March 2017. To better represent channel bathymetry in the one-dimensional step-backwater model the average maximum water depth from the both cross section surveys, 1.6 feet (ft), was incorporated in the model geometry. The upstream and downstream cross sections of each river crossing structure in the model were therefore lowered by 1.6 ft. Detailed information about the methods and data used for this analysis are provided in the companion interpretive report: Choi, N., and Engel, F.L., 2019, Flood-inundation maps for a 23-mile reach of the Medina River at Bandera, Texas, 2018: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2019-5067, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195067. ## Contacts Originator : [Frank L Engel](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59672), [Namjeong Choi](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=73986) Metadata Contact : [Public Information Officer, Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Public+Information+Officer%2C+Oklahoma-Texas+Water+Science+Center) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey -

Data were retrieved from a hyperspectral microscope at, and with the cooperation of, the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Samples were collected from USGS water quality sampling efforts, and were also purchased from commercial vendors of biological materials. Data are shown in basic hyperspectral imagery form, transformed into the first derivative and corrected with a flat field algorithm to account for variations in locale lighting conditions.

Remote sensing has been used extensively to document the presence and extent of HAB phenomenon. However, emerging remote sensing technology, known as hyperspectral remote sensing, also known as imaging spectroscopy, captures light in numerous contiguous bands and enables additional data characterization that currently requires laboratory analysis. These hyperspectral profiles are designed to contribute to research on remote detection and analysis of HAB phenomenon. ## Rights ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5d5d6b3de4b01d82ce91e4dc) [](/catalog/item/imap/5d5d6b3de4b01d82ce91e4dc) ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") - [Data Release - Revised](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData+Release+-+Revised "Data Release - Revised") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") Theme - [Harmful Algal Blooms](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHarmful+Algal+Blooms "Harmful Algal Blooms (Harmful Algal Blooms, Theme, None)") - [biota](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dbiota "biota (biota, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [cyanobacteria](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dcyanobacteria "cyanobacteria (cyanobacteria, Theme, None)") - [hyperspectral remote sensing](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dhyperspectral+remote+sensing "hyperspectral remote sensing (hyperspectral remote sensing, Theme, None)") - [imaging spectroscopy](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dimaging+spectroscopy "imaging spectroscopy (imaging spectroscopy, Theme, None)") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Aquatic Biology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DAquatic+Biology "Aquatic Biology (Aquatic Biology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Botany](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBotany "Botany (Botany, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Geography](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGeography "Geography (Geography, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Remote Sensing](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DRemote+Sensing "Remote Sensing (Remote Sensing, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Water Resources](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWater+Resources "Water Resources (Water Resources, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") ## Provenance Revision 2.0 completed by Terry Slonecker on October 30, 2020.

Images of the algal material were collected with a hyperspectral camera.\n5. Hyperspectral images were further analyzed for reflectance, and the first derivative of the reflectance spectra. Image data was also transformed with a flat field correction to account for variations in lighting conditions that might be encountered in the field All of these may be used for species identification or correlation with other biophysical measurements. In this dataset, the original test is supplied along with microscope image and graphs spectral and first derivative plots, all provided for clarity of the data.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200901</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Terry Slonecker</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, LAND RESOURCES</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Research Geographer</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>Mail Stop 562, 12201 Sunrise Valley Dr</address>\n <city>Reston</city>\n <state>VA</state>\n <postal>20192</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>703-648-4289</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>703-648-7825</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Anabaena.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>VNIR Spectra in Comma Separated Value (CSV) file containing reflectance data.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>standard spectroscopic measurements</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>x values = wavelength in microns</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Roger Clark and 2 by Hook et al.

Values for years not estimated by Ivanhnenko were linearly interpolated, then the series was constrained to the period 1985-2012.\n \n References\n \n Tetra Tech, Inc. and Andrew Stoddard &amp; Associates, 2000, Progress in water quality-An evaluation of the National investment in municipal wastewater treatment: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Technical Report EPA-832-R-00-008, 452 p., accessed November 5, 2015, at http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/wastewater/treatment/benefits.cfm.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20161019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>ptSource_WWTP_CSO.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>A comma separated text file of annual total nitrogen and total phosphorus load estimates in kilograms from point sources, combined sewer overflows, and wastewater treatment plants for selected Chesapeake Bay watersheds.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Karen R.

Water samples were collected on three occasions corresponding to one rain-related (wet) events and two non-rain (dry) events. Water samples were collected in the Grand Calumet River, at the mouth of the river, at offshore locations around the peninsular impoundment and at shoreline locations: Jeorse Park (East Chicago, Indiana), Whihala (Whiting, Indiana), and 63rd Street (Chicago, Illinois) beaches. Samples were collected in triplicate, and water was filtered at the USGS Lake Michigan Ecological Research Station. After DNA extraction, samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing using Illumina sequencing. Taxonomic identification was assigned for communities in each sample, at multiple taxonomic levels (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus). Water was also analyzed for E. coli bacteria and turbidity, at the USGS laboratory. Hydrological conditions corresponding to the days of sample collection were obtained from publicly available USGS information (NWIS-National Water Information System). The coordinate file includes information regarding sampling locations and their corresponding latitude and longitudes. The Data file include E. coli densities, laboratory turbidity measurements, and NWIS hydrological data.

Sampling sites were located in the Grand Calumet River at Columbus Drive (GCR), at the mouth of the river (GCM), at offshore locations north (GCN) and east (GCE) of the peninsula that lies between the river mouth and Jeorse Park, and at three nearshore locations: Jeorse Park (JP), East Chicago, Indiana; Whihala Beach (WHW), Whiting, Indiana; and 63rd Street Beach (63rd), Chicago, Illinois. All water samples were analyzed for E. coli, turbidity, and subjected to metagenomics for determining microbial communities. \n\nAt each location, water samples were collected using sterile Nalgene plastic bottles following protocols outlined in Standard Methods (American Public Health Association 2005), USGS protocols (Whitman and Nevers 2004), and Annapolis Protocol (World Health Organization 1999). Shoreline samples were collected in ~45 cm-deep water, 10cm below the surface, GC samples were collected from an overhead bridge using a sterile bucket, and offshore samples (surface water) were collected using a sterile Nalgene plastic bottle from a boat. Samples were transported to the laboratory in a cooler, on ice, and analyzed or filtered within 6 hr of collection. Ambient conditions were measured at the time of sample collection: water and air temperature (oC, H-B instrument, Trappe, PA), current speed (US EPA, 2008) and direction (eastward, westward, float method), wind direction and speed (m/s, SKYTECH, Weatherhawk, Logan, Utah), wave height (inches, meter stick), rainfall (&lt;24 hr, &lt;48, &lt;72, and &gt;72 prior to sample collection), and cloud cover (percent scale). Bird counts were recorded, as well as general beach conditions, including amount of debris, trash, and Cladophora algae. \n\nCitations:\n\nAmerican Public Health Association. 2005.

The contents of one Colilert reagent pack was added to a sterile, 250 mL Nalgene bottle containing 100 mL sample (methods required amount) and the reagent was left to dissolve. Once dissolved the mixture was gently shaken, poured into a quanti-Tray and sealed with a Quanty-Tray sealer. The Quanti-Trays were then incubated for 18 hours at 35\xc2\xb10.5\xc2\xb0C. After 18 hours incubation, the trays were viewed under UV lights, the E. coli positive (yellow and fluorescing) wells (Big and small) were counted, an E. coli count was derived from the manufacturer provided MPN table, and results were recorded as MPN/100 mL. If a sample was expected to miss the methods end-point (MPN &gt;2419 MPN/100 mL), a sample dilution was employed, in which a smaller sample volume was measured and poured into a nalgene bottle containing a predetermined amount of sterile water to accomplish the precise dilution and 100 mL volume. In this case, the MPN result was multiplied by the appropriate dilution factor to calculate the E. coli count. If any sample missed the end-point after incubation, the sample was immediately reran using a dilution (previously undiluted) or greater dilution (previously diluted).\n\nCitation:\n\nEdberg, S.C., M.J.

Primers with dual index tags were used to differentiate multiple samples in a single run following the manufacturer\xe2\x80\x99s (Illumina, San Diego, CA) suggested step out protocol [Gloor, 2010 #30735]. Reactions were carried out using ~10 ng of template DNA in Q5\xc2\xae High Fidelity DNA Polymerase 2X master mix (New England Biolabs). PCR amplicons were purified using AxyPrepMag PCR clean-up kit (Axygen Scientific) and quantified using a Nanodrop 3000 fluorospectrophotometer after staining with the QuantiFluor dsDNA System (Promega). Equimolar amounts of amplicons from each sample were combined and sent to the Purdue Genomics core facilities for 2x250 paired end sequencing using a MiSeq Illumina system. Sequence reads were pre-processed to remove primer tags and low-quality sequences, and paired end reads were merged.\n\n16S rRNA gene sequence analysis:\n\nSequences were analyzed using the QIIME pipeline (version 1.9.1) [Caporaso, 2010 #25358]. OTUs were picked using the \xe2\x80\x9cpick_open_otus\xe2\x80\x9d option in QIIME [Rideout, 2014 #37277] that uses a 97% sequence similarity threshold, the uclust method [Edgar, 2010 #24269] for clustering, sequence alignment using PyNAST [Caporaso, 2010 #25358], and taxonomic assignment to the Greengenes data set version 13_5 [McDonald, 2012 #29680] using the RDP classifier [Wang, 2007 #21910]. The lowest number of reads among the samples was chosen to rarefy datasets to use equal number of reads for all community comparisons.\n\nThe raw metagenomic data can be accessed at the NCBI repository under the biproject accession PRJNA541325: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/PRJNA541325.\n\nReferences:\n\nLiu, Z.

Metabolism was estimated at each site using the streamMetabolizer package in the R computing environment. When data were collected for multiple years at a site, stream metabolism was separately estimated for each year. For each site-year combination, three files are provided: (1) the input data file, which includes continuous dissolved oxygen, solar time, water temperature, light, and stream depth, (2) the output data file, containing the daily metabolism estimates, and (3) a site-specific html file that serves as a guide for running the streamMetabolizer package \[...\] ## Summary This dataset provides details from stream metabolism models for 11 stream sites in Connecticut that were monitored during 2015 to 2018 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

File names include an abbreviated name for the site ('short\_name') to distinguish the files associated with each field site. Final metabolism models were run using a fixed value for K600, which is the mean reaeration rate coefficient scaled to a Schmidt number of 600; this fixed value was determined for each site based on initial model calibration runs. In addition to the stream metabolism files, a comma-delimited file containing basic site characteristics is included for reference. This site file includes the USGS site identifier, the site 'short name', the complete USGS site name, and the latitude and longitude of the sampling reach. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Brittney J Izbicki](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=57836) Originator : [Brittney J Izbicki](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=57836), [Jonathan Morrison](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=7206) Metadata Contact : [Brittney J Izbicki](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=57836) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [New England Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17206) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5eb2e11282cefae35a29d680?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5eb2e11282cefae35a29d680?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5eb2e11282cefae35a29d680?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Stream metabolism estimated from dissolved oxygen data in Connecticut streams 2015-18.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 42.69 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | BeaconFalls.zip | | 3.23 MB | application/zip | | French.zip | | 2.09 MB | application/zip | | NorthBranch.zip | | 2.39 MB | application/zip | | Norwalk.zip | | 777.81 KB | application/zip | | Pequabuck.zip | | 851.95 KB | application/zip | | Quinebaug.zip | | 2.19 MB | application/zip | | Redding.zip | | 2.42 MB | application/zip | | Salmon.zip | | 2.36 MB | application/zip | | Still.zip | | 3.27 MB | application/zip | | Wallingford.zip | | 3.14 MB | application/zip | | WestCenter.zip | | 2.93 MB | application/zip | | Metabolism.site.info.txt<br>“Site Information” | | 922 Bytes | text/plain | | Data Dictionary.csv | | 3.03 KB | text/csv | | Gage\_height.ft.from\_Pressure\[email protected]<br>“Gage Height at Pequabuck 2016” | | 889.6 KB | text/csv | | BDL.xlsx<br>“Barometric Pressure at Bradley Airport, 2015-16” | | 420.28 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | BDL\_2017\_18.xlsx<br>“Barometric Pressure at Bradley Airport, 2017-18” | | 420.63 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | BDR.xlsx<br>“Barometric Pressure at Bridgeport Airport, 2015-16” | | 421.88 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | HVN.xlsx<br>“Barometric Pressure at New Haven Airport, 2015-16” | | 422.6 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Izbicki, B., and Morrison, J., 2021, Use of dissolved oxygen monitoring to evaluate phosphorus loading in Connecticut streams, 2015–18: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021–5024, 25 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215024. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215024](https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215024 "https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215024") | ## Purpose Stream metabolism was determined from dissolved oxygen and other data collected from 2015 to 2018 as part of a study to help evaluate the effects of phosphorus loading in Connecticut streams.

Metabolism was estimated at each site using the streamMetabolizer package in the R computing environment. When data were collected for multiple years at a site, stream metabolism was separately estimated for each year. For each site and for each year, three files are provided; (1) the input data file, which includes continuous dissolved oxygen, solar time, water temperature, light, and stream depth, (2) the output data file, containing the daily metabolism estimates, and (3) a site-specific html file that serves as a guide for running the streamMetabolizer package for each site. File names include an abbreviated name for the site (The site \'short_name\') to distinguish the files associated with each field site. Final metabolism models were run using a fixed value for K600, which is the mean reaeration rate coefficient scaled to a Schmidt number of 600; this fixed value was determined for each site based on initial model calibration runs. \n\nIn addition to the stream metabolism files, a comma-delimited file containing basic site characteristics is included for reference. This site file includes the USGS site identifier, the site \'short name\', the complete USGS site name, and the latitude and longitude of the sampling reach.</abstract>\n <purpose>Stream metabolism was determined from dissolved oxygen and other data collected from 2015 to 2018 as part of a study to help evaluate the effects of phosphorus loading in Connecticut streams. The stream metabolism information can aid in determining the appropriate phosphorus reductions required to meet Connecticut water-quality standards.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20150601</begdate>\n <enddate>20180930</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-73.630414844608</westbc>\n <eastbc>-71.75724589937</eastbc>\n <northbc>42.071733311907</northbc>\n <southbc>41.002712677281</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>water quality</themekey>\n <themekey>oxygen content (water)</themekey>\n <themekey>photosynthesis</themekey>\n <themekey>surface water (non-marine)</themekey>\n <themekey>nutrient content (water)</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>environment</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>General Ecology</themekt>\n <themekey>stream metabolism</themekey>\n <themekey>dissolved oxygen</themekey>\n <themekey>streams</themekey>\n <themekey>gross primary productivity</themekey>\n <themekey>ecosystem respiration</themekey>\n <themekey>streamMetabolizer</themekey>\n <themekey>rivers</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5eb2e11282cefae35a29d680</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>United States</placekey>\n <placekey>Connecticut</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

The long extent and distribution of skylights in lava-tube systems of the Horse Butte and Wapi Park lava fields are depicted on this map. 40Ar/39Ar and K/Ar age determinations give detail to the Holocene, late Pleistocene, and late middle Pleistocene volcanic for lava fields in this quadrangle. Most of the younger basalt eruptions (<150 ka) have occurred along the Great Rift volcanic rift zone, but two of the younger lava fields are located in the western part of the quadrangle. Kimama Butte, a shield volcano, is 87 +/- 11 ka and Shale Butte is dated at 11 +/- 6 ka. Paleomagnetic studies have shown that the Horse Butte-Inferno Chasm eruptive fissure system has at least 5 paleomagnetic-correlative lava fields, the Claasen vent complex consists of at least 7 correlative lava fields, and the Streifling-Flat Top vent complex includes at least 4 correlative lava fields. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Mel A Kuntz](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Mel+A+Kuntz) Originator : [Mel A Kuntz](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=5745), [Duane E Champion](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=1696), [Brent R Turrin](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Brent+R+Turrin), [Philip B Gaus](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Philip+B+Gaus), [Harry R Covington](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Harry+R+Covington), [Darren (Paco) Van Sistine](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10667) Metadata Contact : [Darren (Paco) Van Sistine](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10667) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) USGS Mission Area : [Core Science Systems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Core+Science+Systems) SDC Data Owner : [Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17387) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/58ac93f9e4b0ce4410e7d7fb?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/58ac93f9e4b0ce4410e7d7fb?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/58ac93f9e4b0ce4410e7d7fb?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SIM\_lakewalcott\_n\_DataRelease.xml<br>“METADATA XML”<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 20.45 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | SIM\_lakewalcott\_n\_GDBSHP.zip<br>“SPATIAL DATA” | | 39.7 MB | application/zip | | SIM\_lakewalcott\_n\_DataRelease.txt<br>“METADATA TEXT” | | 20.55 KB | text/plain | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Kuntz, M.A., Champion, D.E., Turrin, B.R., Gans, P.B., Covington, H.R., and VanSistine, D.P., 2018, Geologic map of the north half of the Lake Walcott 30'×60' quadrangle, Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 3405, pamphlet 25 p., scale 1:100,000, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3405. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3405](https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3405 "https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3405") | ## Purpose This map provides geologic, geochronologic, and paleomagnetic data for Holocene lava fields along the southern part of the Great Rift and for late Pleistocene and late middle Pleistocene lava fields in the central and western parts of the quadrangle.

The long extent and distribution of skylights in lava-tube systems of the Horse Butte and Wapi Park lava fields are depicted on this map. 40Ar/39Ar and K/Ar age determinations give detail to the Holocene, late Pleistocene, and late middle Pleistocene volcanic for lava fields in this quadrangle. Most of the younger basalt eruptions (&lt;150 ka) have occurred along the Great Rift volcanic rift zone, but two of the younger lava fields are located in the western part of the quadrangle. Kimama Butte, a shield volcano, is 87 +/- 11 ka and Shale Butte is dated at 11 +/- 6 ka. Paleomagnetic studies have shown that the Horse Butte-Inferno Chasm eruptive fissure system has at least 5 paleomagnetic-correlative lava fields, the Claasen vent complex consists of at least 7 correlative lava fields, and the Streifling-Flat Top vent complex includes at least 4 correlative lava fields.</abstract>\n <purpose>This map provides geologic, geochronologic, and paleomagnetic data for Holocene lava fields along the southern part of the Great Rift and for late Pleistocene and late middle Pleistocene lava fields in the central and western parts of the quadrangle.

In this study, maximum entropy modeling was used to construct species distribution maps for 50 North American bird species to determine relative contributions of climate and LULC for contemporary (2001) and future (2075) time periods. Results indicate species-specific response to climate and LULC variables; however, both climate and LULC variables clearly are important for modeling both contemporary and potential future species ranges. This data release provides summary data for each of the 50 species. Four types of files are included in a ZIP file distributed for each species, including 1) GeoTIFF files that represent species distributions for 2001 and 2075 (including model runs with and without climate or land use), 2) PDF files summarizing MaxENT model runs for 2001, demonstrating sensitivity of the models to climate and land use, 3) lambda values for each model run that contain variables used in that run and constants that can be used to compute values for the fitted model, and 4) a JPG file depicting a summary map of modeled species range in 2001, and panel maps depicting changes in species probability as land use and/or climate change by 2075. A summary Excel spreadsheet summarizes and compares results across the 50 species. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Terry L Sohl](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=9712), [United States Geological

Reuse or disposal of these waters is difficult due both to their high salinities, which can greatly exceed 35 g/L (seawater equivalent), and also the sheer volume of wastewater generated, which is estimated at nearly 900 billion gallons per year across the United States. Beyond disposal concerns, produced water may also represent a possible source of valuable mineral commodities. While an understanding of the trace element composition of produced water is required for evaluating the associated resource and waste potential of these materials, measuring trace elements in high salinity brines is challenging due to the dilution requirements of typical methods. Alternatively, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) has shown promise as being capable of direct measurements of trace elements within produced waters with minimal dilution. Here we evaluate direct ICP-OES trace element quantification in produced waters through detection and quantification for 17 select trace elements (As, Al, Ba, Be, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, U, V, and Zn) from 15 produced water samples. The produced waters range in salinity from 17 to 370 g/L and originate from the Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Middle Bakken/Three Forks, Wolfcamp/Cline, and Utica/Point Pleasant reservoirs. The ICP-OES results are compared against trace element levels determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) from the same samples. Our results demonstrate the potential of an ICP-OES approach for the direct analysis of trace components from high salinity aqueous solutions with minimal dilution and provide additional trace element concentrations for waters from several important U.S. petroleum-generating continuous reservoirs where available data is sparse. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Aaron M Jubb](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=73218) Originator : [Mary R Croke](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=76748), [Aaron M Jubb](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=73218), [Mark A Engle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=2964), [Jessica M Chenault](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70270), [Madalyn S Blondes](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=23335), [Cloelle G Danforth](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Cloelle+G+Danforth), [Colin Doolan](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=13442), [Tanya J Gallegos](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=3514), [Dan Mueller](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Dan+Mueller), [Jenna L Shelton](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=60337) Metadata Contact : [Eric A Morrissey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=7209) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) SDC Data Owner : [Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17290) USGS Mission Area : [Energy and Minerals](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Energy+and+Minerals) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5d9f2d87e4b036616293580a?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5d9f2d87e4b036616293580a?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5d9f2d87e4b036616293580a?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Product\_10.5066P90A6966\_METADATA.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 68.69 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Table S1.csv | | 465 Bytes | text/csv | | Table S2.csv | | 639 Bytes | text/csv | | Table S3.csv | | 650 Bytes | text/csv | | Table S4.csv | | 546 Bytes | text/csv | | Table S5.csv | | 560 Bytes | text/csv | | Table S6.csv | | 552 Bytes | text/csv | | Table S7.csv | | 581 Bytes | text/csv | | Table S8.csv | | 8.94 KB | text/csv | | Table S9.csv | | 1.13 KB | text/csv | | Table S10.csv | | 472 Bytes | text/csv | ## Purpose Data were collected in order to detect concentrations of select trace elements in produced waters from low-permeability reservoirs, to demonstrate the validity of an ICP-OES approach as an analytical method. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5d9f2d87e4b036616293580a) [](/catalog/item/imap/5d9f2d87e4b036616293580a) ## Communities - Geology, Energy & Minerals (GEM) Science Center - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") Theme - [Enhanced oil recovery](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEnhanced+oil+recovery "Enhanced oil recovery (Enhanced oil recovery, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [ICP-OES](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DICP-OES "ICP-OES (ICP-OES, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [elemental analysis](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Delemental+analysis "elemental analysis (elemental analysis, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [unconventional oil and gas](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dunconventional+oil+and+gas "unconventional oil and gas (unconventional oil and gas, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Montana](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMontana "Montana (Montana, Place, Geographic Names Index System (GNIS) placenames;

Reuse or disposal of these waters is difficult due both to their high salinities, which can greatly exceed 35 g/L (seawater equivalent), and also the sheer volume of wastewater generated, which is estimated at nearly 900 billion gallons per year across the United States. Beyond disposal concerns, produced water may also represent a possible source of valuable mineral commodities. While an understanding of the trace element composition of produced water is required for evaluating the associated resource and waste potential of these materials, measuring trace elements in high salinity brines is challenging due to the dilution requirements of typical methods. Alternatively, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) has shown promise as being capable of direct measurements of trace elements within produced waters with minimal dilution. Here we evaluate direct ICP-OES trace element quantification in produced waters through detection and quantification for 17 select trace elements (As, Al, Ba, Be, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, U, V, and Zn) from 15 produced water samples. The produced waters range in salinity from 17 to 370 g/L and originate from the Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Middle Bakken/Three Forks, Wolfcamp/Cline, and Utica/Point Pleasant reservoirs. The ICP-OES results are compared against trace element levels determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) from the same samples.

The 15 selected samples were all collected during previous USGS field campaigns, filtered to 0.45 \xc2\xb5m and acidified in the field to a pH of &lt;2 with ultra-pure HNO3 (Fisher Scientific), and stored at ~4 \xc2\xb0C in high density polyethylene bottles, as described previously (Engle et al., 2019, 2016). All samples were analyzed within three years of collection. The samples span a total dissolved solids (TDS) range of 17-370 g/L; this range is inclusive of nearly all PWs from the United States (Blondes et al., 2016). While there are several studies reporting PW trace element concentrations for the Marcellus (Hayes 2009, Pancras et al. 2015, Tasker et al. 2019, Ziemkiewicz and He 2015), there are only a few reported PW trace element concentrations for the Bakken/Three Forks (Lauer et al. 2016, Peterman et al. 2017) and Eagle Ford (Nicot et al. 2018) and no publicly available data for PWs from the Wolfcamp/Cline and Utica/Point Pleasant reservoirs. \n\nEngle M.A., Doolan C.A., Pitman J.A., Varonka M.S., Chenault J., Orem W.H., McMahon P.B. and Jubb A.M.

All analyses were conducted on a Horiba Ultima Expert ICP-OES, which has a vertical torch with a radial plasma view geometry and is equipped with a high TDS sample introduction system consisting of a Meinhard type K nebulizer, a cyclonic spray chamber, and an argon humidifier. Ultra-high purity (UHP) grade argon (Ar) was used as the plasma, sheath, and nebulization gas and was used as received. UHP grade nitrogen (N2) was used to purge the optical path and detector compartment. The ICP-OES detector gain and voltage were optimized for detection of a 1000 \xce\xbcg/L standard solution (Table 2). The atomic emission lines used for the trace element determinations by ICP-OES are given in Table 3 and were primarily taken from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 200.7 (1994a). Different emission lines were used for the quantification of Ba, Be, and Cd than those listed in U.S. EPA Method 200.7 (1994a) due to the superior performance (i.e., higher precision) observed here when using the alternative lines; no suggested emission lines are given for Rb and U in Method 200.7. During an experimental run each emission line was scanned with nine points with ~0.5 s acquisition per point and the maximum intensity of the peak center was recorded. Each emission line was measured in triplicate. The emission line intensities were baseline corrected using the mean intensity of five laboratory blanks (50 g/L Na-Ca-Cl solution in 2% HNO3; discussed below) measured at that wavelength. \n\nU.S. Environmental Protection Agency (1994a) Method 200.7 - Determination of metals and trace elements in water and wastes by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Trace element concentrations were determined using the mean maximum recorded intensity for each element emission line following baseline correction and a linear regression fit to a log-log standard calibration curve. The log-log calibration method was used to prevent violating the assumption of homoscedasticity (homogeneity of variance) in normal least squares regression and was selected over the more common weighted least squares regression as the weights are difficult to estimate when using only a few (~5) calibration points (Ryan 2009). When prediction is the primary objective of regression analysis, homoscedasticity is perhaps more critical than other regression quality metrics because it ensures that precision of estimation is equal across the calibration range (Reimann et al. 2008). In this study, the ICP-OES calibration curves typically spanned the 10-5,000 \xce\xbcg/L concentration range. Standard solutions were prepared to the desired concentration from signal element certified 1,000,000 \xce\xbcg/L stock solutions in 2% HNO3 purchased from High Purity Standards Inc. (Charleston, South Carolina). \n\nRyan T.P. (2009) Modern Regression Methods, 2nd ed. Wiley (New York, NY, USA), pp.672. \nReimann C., Filzmoser P., Garrett R. and Dutter R.

Nearly all natural PWs with a salinity &gt;10 g/L are dominated by the ions Na, Ca, and Cl (Kharaka and Hanor 2014). As salinity of PWs increases, the average Na/Ca ratio tends to decrease (Blondes et al. 2016). For instance, at 100 g/L salinity the average molar Na/Ca ratio is approximately 10 but at 300 g/L it is typically closer to 4. As the molar ratio of elements within the PW samples is unaffected by dilution, samples diluted down to 50 g/L for ICP-OES analysis will have a different cation matrix depending on their original salinity. To account for these shifts, the standard solutions used to generate calibration curves were tested in Na-Ca-Cl amended solutions using Na/Ca molar ratios of both 4 and 10. The Na-Ca-Cl solutions used were prepared from certified high purity salts (ACS grade, &gt;99.0% metals basis or better). \n\nKharaka Y.K. and Hanor J.S.

The commercial laboratory performing ICP-MS analyses required sample TDS levels to be less than 0.05% by weight (~0.5 g/L) necessitating sample dilution from ~40x to 1000x. Samples were sent to the commercial laboratory both as aliquots that had been previously diluted to a target TDS of 0.4 g/L (dilution factors provided in Table 1) and as minimally diluted aliquots (typically 1-3x). Samples were sent in two batches to control for any biasing factors from the sample dilution step between the two laboratories. Pre-diluted PWs were sent in triplicate while the minimally dilute PW samples were sent in duplicate due to sample volume limitations. Three additional Eagle Ford PWs and one Wolfcamp/Cline PW were included in the minimally dilute sample set. The specific dilution factors used by the commercial laboratory to bring the minimally diluted samples into the ICP-MS analytical range are unavailable; however, it is reasonable to assume that these were the minimum dilution required to achieve the required 0.5 g/L TDS concentration. Regardless, as samples analyzed via ICP-MS were heavily diluted (either by USGS staff or by the commercial laboratory), outside of isobaric interferences (which would be identified through matrix spike response), variation in Na/Ca ratios in the samples is unlikely to impact results and thus did not warrant matrix-matching of the standards.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>To determine performance of both the ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses, several quality control (QC) samples were included with the sample batches. These included: blanks, spike-amended blanks (blank spikes), and aliquots from five of the produced water samples spiked with known masses of target elements (matrix spikes). Typical blank and matrix spike concentrations are provided in the Supporting Information, Table S1. Furthermore, although no reference materials for trace elements in produced waters or brines are available to our knowledge, appropriate reference surrogates were chosen based on the salinity of the post-diluted samples that were analyzed using both the ICP-MS and ICP-OES. In the case of ICP-MS analyses where the target salinity was relatively low (0.4 g/L), surface water trace USGS standard reference samples (herein referred to as USGS T standards, USGS T-193 and USGS T-225, respectively) were selected (https://bqs.usgs.gov/srs/). For the ICP-OES analyses, a simulated seawater standard (High Purity Standards Inc., Charleston, South Carolina) was used as the surrogate reference sample as it has a similar salinity (~35 g/L) and major ion composition to that of many produced waters (see Supporting Information, Table S2). These reference surrogates were used as received without further purification.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <indspref>Geographic Names Index System (GNIS) placenames; (https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:1:0:::::)</indspref>\n <direct>Point</direct>\n </spdoinfo>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Table S1</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Typical blank and matrix spike concentrations used for quality control purposes in this experiment</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Jubb, Aaron M.; Engle, Mark A.; Chenault, Jessica M.; Blondes, Madalyn S.; Danforth, Cloelle G.; Doolan, Colin; Gallegos, Tanya J.; Mueller, Dan; Shelton, Jenna L.</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Element</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Element added as reference spike to blank sample as well as water samples from wells studied.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <codesetd>\n <codesetn>Periodic table</codesetn>\n <codesets>International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (https://iupac.org/what-we-do/periodic-table-of-elements/)</codesets>\n </codesetd>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Blank Spike ICP-MS (\xc2\xb5g/L)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Concentration of element in prepared blank spike sample, in micrograms per liter used for inductively coupled mass spectrometry analysis</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>10</rdommin>\n <rdommax>20</rdommax>\n <attrunit>Micrograms per liter</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Blank (-) values indicate lead was not added to blank spike</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Blank Spike ICP-OES (\xc2\xb5g/L)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Concentration of element in prepared blank spike sample, in micrograms per liter used for inductively coupled optical emission spectrometry analysis</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>500</rdommin>\n <rdommax>500</rdommax>\n <attrunit>micrograms per liter</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Matrix Spike ICP-MS (\xc2\xb5g/L)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Concentration of element added to aliquots of 5 produced water samples used as quality control in inductively coupled mass spectrometry experiments.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>1-5</rdommin>\n <rdommax>5-10</rdommax>\n <attrunit>micrograms per liter</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Matrix Spike ICP-OES (\xc2\xb5g/L)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Concentration of element added to aliquots of 5 produced water samples used as quality control in inductively coupled optical emission spectrometry experiments.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>190</rdommin>\n <rdommax>190</rdommax>\n <attrunit>micrograms per liter</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n </detailed>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Table S2</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Concentrations in micrograms per liter for surrogate reference materials used in this study.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Jubb, Aaron M.; Engle, Mark A.; Chenault, Jessica M.; Blondes, Madalyn S.; Danforth, Cloelle G.; Doolan, Colin; Gallegos, Tanya J.; Mueller, Dan; Shelton, Jenna L.</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Trace Element</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Trace element found within samples</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <codesetd>\n <codesetn>Periodic table</codesetn>\n <codesets>International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (https://iupac.org/what-we-do/periodic-table-of-elements/)</codesets>\n </codesetd>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>T-193 MPV (\xc2\xb5g/L)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Most probable values for trace element concentrations of surrogate reference material used in this study.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>USGS Office of Water Quality (https://bqs.usgs.gov/srs_study/reports/index.php)</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>0.29</rdommin>\n <rdommax>45</rdommax>\n <attrunit>micrograms per liter</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>NR</edomv>\n <edomvd>Values for trace element were not reported by the manufacturer</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>T-193 F-pseudosigma (\xc2\xb5g/L)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Uncertainty values for for trace element concentrations of surrogate reference materials used in this study.

We captured bats between May and July of 2015 and 2016 to target females during the maternity season. Mist net deployment was dependent on the site being netted, but generally consisted of one or two 6-12 m mesh nets set up across a forest corridor on a pulley system between two aluminum poles (Silvis et al. 2012; Owen et al. 2002). Netting began on the night of arrival at each site and concluded once a sufficient sample size of female northern long-eared bats was captured (n = 15 at each site) or after three consecutive weeks of netting. Nets were assembled and opened before sunset (approximately 20:00). Netting continued until capture rates decreased to one bat every hour or until 00:00. For every bat captured, we recorded sex, age (by degree of epiphyseal fusion), mass (g), right forearm length (RFA), and reproductive condition (Silvis et al. 2012). Unique lipped aluminum identification bands were attached on the left forearms of all female bats and right forearms of all male bats according to WDNR protocol. We also removed a small section of fur and affixed radio transmitters (LB-2X, 0.27g: Holohil Systems Ltd., Woodlawn, ON) between the scapulae of female northern long-eared bats using surgical cement (Perma-Type; Plainville, CT, USA)(Silvis et al., 2012). The &lt;6% of pre-attachment body weight (including transmitter and surgical glue) rule was followed when tagging individual females as required by the federal permit. Within 30 minutes of capture, bats were released near net sites. All field and handling procedures followed the guidelines of the Wisconsin Endangered and Threatened Species Permit #1005, the Federal Fish and Wildlife - Native Threatened Species Recovery permit #TE86141B-0, and were approved by UWSP IACUC #2015.04.05. Following federal protocol, after each capture night all nets and equipment were decontaminated using Lysol wipes and a 1:10 bleach solution to prevent any unintentional spread of fungal pathogen between study sites.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20150501</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Each day following a successful capture, we used TRX-2000NB receivers (Wildlife Materials Inc., Murphysboro, IL, USA) and folding Yagi antennas (Models F151-3FB and F152-3FB) to locate transmitted females at the current day roost tree. Subsequently, all female northern long-eared bats were tracked daily to each day roost tree for the life of the transmitter or until it was dropped from the bat. A Garmin eTrex-10 handheld global positioning system was used to record all roost trees locations. Once a roost tree was located, and if the tree itself was nettable (roost entrance within mist net height, no obstructing trunk branches), nets were strung up around the tree in a circular fashion to obstruct the roost entrance and capture as many individuals within the colony as possible. Netting at individual roost trees never exceeded 2-3 nights in a row to reduce potential stress on the colony. At each confirmed roost tree, vegetative data collection was based on the methods found in Silvis et al. (2012) and included roost tree species, diameter at breast height (DBH), total tree height (m), roost entrance height (m), decay class (1: alive, 2: declining, 3: dead, 4: loose bark, 5: clean, 6: broken top, 7: stump), canopy class (1: emergent, 2: dominant, 3: mid-story, 4: suppressed), percent canopy cover (average of four densitometer readings in each cardinal direction), percent bark remaining, and basal area (factor 10).</procdesc>\n <procdate>20150501</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The selection and measurement of neighboring trees followed the 4 point-quarter system (Silvis et al. 2012). For each of the four potential roost trees selected in each cardinal direction quadrant, we recorded tree species, distance to roost tree (m), DBH, total tree height (m), decay class, canopy class, and whether or not roosting opportunities existed (bark/cavity).</procdesc>\n <procdate>20150501</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n

Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and the Barnegat Bay region. In response to Hurricane Sandy, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has undertaken several projects to assess the impacts of the storm and provide data and scientific analysis to support recovery and restoration efforts. As part of these efforts, the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) sponsored Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project in collaboration with the USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration \[...\] ## Summary Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall on October 29, 2012, near Brigantine, New Jersey, had a significant impact on coastal New Jersey, including the large areas of emergent wetlands at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and the Barnegat Bay region. In response to Hurricane Sandy, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has undertaken several projects to assess the impacts of the storm and provide data and scientific analysis to support recovery and restoration efforts. As part of these efforts, the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) sponsored Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project in collaboration with the USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) developed a three-dimensional (3D) 1-meter topobathymetric elevation models (TBDEMs) for the New Jersey/Delaware sub-region including the Delaware Estuary and adjacent coastline. The integrated elevation data are extending the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Elevation Dataset within the Hurricane Sandy impact zone to enable the widespread creation of flood, hurricane, and sea-level rise inundation hazard maps. More information on the USGS CoNED project is available at http://topotools.cr.usgs.gov/coned/index.php. The CoNED Applications Project team is also developing new applications for pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy regional lidar datasets for mapping the spatial extent of coastal wetlands. These new methods have been developed to derive detailed land/water polygons for an area in coastal New Jersey, which is dominated by a complex configuration of emergent wetlands and open water. Using pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy lidar data, repeatable geospatial methods were used to map the land/water spatial configuration at a regional scale to complement wetland mapping that uses traditional methods such as photointerpretation and image classification. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [U.S. Geological Survey, Southeast Region](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey%2C+Southeast+Region) Originator : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey), [Cindy Thatcher](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Cindy+Thatcher), [Jeffrey Danielson](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Jeffrey+Danielson), [Dean Gesch](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Dean+Gesch), [Bruce Worstell](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Bruce+Worstell) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey+-+ScienceBase) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/580e7704e4b0f497e794b928?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/580e7704e4b0f497e794b928?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/580e7704e4b0f497e794b928?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.shp.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 24.45 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.CPG | | 5 Bytes | text/plain | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.dbf | | 2.15 MB | text/plain | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.lyr | | 10.5 KB | application/x-tika-msoffice | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.prj | | 424 Bytes | text/plain | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.sbn | | 147.01 KB | x-gis/x-shapefile | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.sbx | | 4.39 KB | x-gis/x-shapefile | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.shp | | 317.18 MB | x-gis/x-shapefile | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.shx | | 126.74 KB | x-gis/x-shapefile | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.sd | | 144.61 MB | Extension: Water\_Bodies\_Wetlands\_Coastal\_NJ\_2010.zip ## Purpose Lidar offers high spatial resolution (i.e. < 1 meter point spacing) and precise elevation data that can be used to efficiently map the land/water interface. Pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy lidar data were processed and analyzed to map coastal wetland changes over the extent of Forsythe NWR and Barnegat Bay. The resulting data can be used to visualize and quantify changes in wetland morphology such as erosion, wetland inundation, internal ponding and marsh migration across the region. The analyses are based on airborne lidar acquired in 2010 and 2014. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/580e7704e4b0f497e794b928) [](/catalog/item/imap/580e7704e4b0f497e794b928) ## Spatial Services ArcGIS Mapping Service WMS Service ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [Elevation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DElevation "Elevation (Elevation, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [Environment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEnvironment "Environment (Environment, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [LIDAR](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLIDAR "LIDAR (LIDAR, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [National Wetlands Inventory](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNational+Wetlands+Inventory "National Wetlands Inventory (National Wetlands Inventory, Theme, None)") - [Oceans](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DOceans "Oceans (Oceans, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [wetlands](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwetlands "wetlands (wetlands, Theme, None)") Place - [Barnegat Bay](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBarnegat+Bay "Barnegat Bay (Barnegat Bay, Place, None)") - [Edwin B.

Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and the Barnegat Bay region. In response to Hurricane Sandy, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has undertaken several projects to assess the impacts of the storm and provide data and scientific analysis to support recovery and restoration efforts. As part of these efforts, the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) sponsored Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project in collaboration with the USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) developed a three-dimensional (3D) 1-meter topobathymetric elevation models (TBDEMs) for the New Jersey/Delaware sub-region including the Delaware Estuary and adjacent coastline. The integrated elevation data are extending the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Elevation Dataset within the Hurricane Sandy impact zone to enable the widespread creation of flood, hurricane, and sea-level rise inundation hazard maps. More information on the USGS CoNED project is available at http://topotools.cr.usgs.gov/coned/index.php. \nThe CoNED Applications Project team is also developing new applications for pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy regional lidar datasets for mapping the spatial extent of coastal wetlands. These new methods have been developed to derive detailed land/water polygons for an area in coastal New Jersey, which is dominated by a complex configuration of emergent wetlands and open water. Using pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy lidar data, repeatable geospatial methods were used to map the land/water spatial configuration at a regional scale to complement wetland mapping that uses traditional methods such as photointerpretation and image classification.</abstract>\n <purpose>Lidar offers high spatial resolution (i.e. &lt; 1 meter point spacing) and precise elevation data that can be used to efficiently map the land/water interface. Pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy lidar data were processed and analyzed to map coastal wetland changes over the extent of Forsythe NWR and Barnegat Bay. The resulting data can be used to visualize and quantify changes in wetland morphology such as erosion, wetland inundation, internal ponding and marsh migration across the region.\nThe analyses are based on airborne lidar acquired in 2010 and 2014.</purpose>\n <supplinf>References:\nNOAA, 2011.

The April 2010 lidar survey is known as the ARRA New Jersey 3 counties survey for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) RiskMAP, which covers Atlantic, Ocean and Monmouth Counties in New Jersey. The lidar data had a nominal point spacing no greater than 1 m, with a vertical accuracy of at least 18.5 cm root mean square error (RMSEz; NOAA, 2011). A post-Hurricane Sandy lidar survey was conducted in 2014 by the NOAA National Geodetic Survey (NGS), covering the Atlantic Coast from South Carolina to New York. The majority of the lidar tiles in the New Jersey study area were collected from February-May 2014, with a small number of tiles at the north end of the study area collected in December 2012. The vertical accuracy is at least 12.5 cm RMSEz (NOAA, 2015a).</procdesc>\n <procdate>2016</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The extent of water bodies in the emergent wetlands is based on a combination of lidar point cloud voids analysis, topographic roughness index calculations, and a minimum elevation threshold. A Python script for ArcGIS was developed that contains the geoprocessing steps used to derive a vector polygon shapefile delineating water bodies. First, a digital elevation model (DEM) was derived from the lidar points classified as ground. The ground points were gridded using the las dataset to raster tool in ArcGIS, with the cell assignment parameter set to average, and the void fill method set to simple at a cell size of 1-meter. All voids (no data cells in the raster) were extracted from the DEM as potential water bodies, because water tends to absorb the laser pulse rather than reflecting it back to the lidar instrument. Next, elevation values less than 0 m were extracted from the DEM and combined with the voids as a binary raster. The DEM was also analyzed to extract flat areas, which often correspond to water bodies. To identify flat areas, TRI was calculated from the DEM, using methods described by Riley and others (1999), and a threshold value of 0.14 was applied to the TRI raster to identify flat areas. Next, a series of geoprocessing tools were used in ArcGIS to combine the voids, areas below the 0 elevation threshold and flat areas, convert the raster to polygons, and apply smoothing and aggregate functions to derive the water body boundaries.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2016</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Because other landscape features in the DEM are also flat, such as places where dense vegetation (forest) and buildings have been removed from the point cloud, ancillary geospatial layers were used to remove erroneous polygons in forests and urban areas. A forest and marsh map was derived from the lidar point cloud by calculating the height difference between the first surface and bare earth. Next, the density of the lidar point cloud within a 3m pixel (calculated using a moving window analysis) combined with the NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) National Wetland Potential map was used to delineate forest and marsh areas. The wetland potential map is a probability rating that provides the wetland likelihood at a specific location, based on soils, elevation, existing wetland inventories, satellite imagery, and other factors (NOAA, 2015b). The resulting forest and marsh map was used as a mask to remove water bodies located within the forest class. Next, the remaining water bodies were combined with the 2008 National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) data for New Jersey (USFWS, 2016), which is a detailed wetlands map digitized through photointerpretation of 2008 National Agriculture Imagery Program digital orthophotos. The NWI map was used to remove water body polygons that were not within the estuarine and marine wetland class in the NWI map. After this step, the remaining water boundary polygons are located only in emergent herbaceous marsh.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2016</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The minimum mapping unit for the water body polygons is 300 square meters. All water polygons smaller than this size were removed from the dataset.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2016</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Vector</direct>\n

LFC status is represented as a 0 to 100 percent continuous color gradient from brown to yellow green. Brown represents low percent cover with increasing percent cover moving towards the yellow-green end. The same color representations are applied throughout all maps ensuring directly comparability between all LFC status maps. \n\nThirteen Landsat LFC change maps were produced highlighting LFC changes annually from 2009 -2017. A continuous color gradient is again used; however, the color ramp represents both LFC decrease and increase from the earlier to later date. Greens bridge the LFC increase and decrease range, pinks and reds reflect the highest decreases, and blues the highest increases between two dates. The same color representations are applied throughout all maps ensuring directly comparability between all LFC status change maps.\n\nSentinel-2\nSentinel-2 LFC status and LFC change maps were produced using the same calibrations and color ramps used to produce the Landsat LFC status and LFC change maps. Ten Sentinel-2 LFC status maps were created from 2016 to 2019. To check Landsat LFC status to Sentinel-2 LFC status mapping continuity, the single Sentinel-2 2016 and 2017 LFC maps were compared to the 2016 and 2017 Landsat LFC maps. \n\nFour Sentinel-2 LFC status maps were produced for both 2018 and 2019. The four LFC status maps within a single year highlighted seasonal LFC differences. \n\nFive LFC change maps were produced. The produced LFC change maps highlighted annual and seasonal changes.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200806</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <mapproj>\n <mapprojn>Transverse Mercator</mapprojn>\n <transmer>\n <sfctrmer>0.9996</sfctrmer>\n <longcm>-87.0</longcm>\n <latprjo>0.0</latprjo>\n <feast>500000</feast>\n <fnorth>0</fnorth>\n </transmer>\n </mapproj>\n <planci>\n <plance>coordinate pair</plance>\n <coordrep>\n <absres>10</absres>\n <ordres>10</ordres>\n </coordrep>\n <plandu>meters</plandu>\n </planci>\n </planar>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84)</horizdn>\n <ellips>WGS_1984</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>294.257223563</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <distinfo>\n <distrib>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntorgp>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase</cntorg>\n </cntorgp>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>Mailing and Physical</addrtype>\n <address>Denver Federal Center, Building 810, Mail Stop 302</address>\n <city>Denver</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80225</postal>\n <country>USA</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>1-888-275-8747</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </distrib>\n <distliab>Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.\nUnless otherwise stated, all data, metadata and related materials are considered to satisfy the quality standards relative to the purpose for which the data were collected.

Emissivity values (y) were calculated using Kirchoff\'s Law where Emissivity = 1 - Reflectance. Wavelengths (x) were calculated from Wavenumber using the following formula: Wavelength = 10,000/Wavenumber. TIR Hemispherical Reflectance measurements were made using a scan average of 500 per integration for reasonable signal-to-noise. VSWIR reflectance measurements were made using an Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) spectrometer with an artificial light source attachment. VSWIR reflectance measurements were made relative to spectralon and corrected for spectralon absorption features to yield absolute reflectance measurements using the PRISM software as described by Kokaly (2011 - USGS Open-file Report 2011-1155). Reflectance measurements represent spectral averages of measurements made on the same sample, though the number of spectra used in the averaging varied by circumstance (e.g. amount of sample, homogeneity of sample, brightness of sample, etc.) but usually greater than 5. VSWIR measurements represent wavelength (x) versus %-reflectance (y).</procdesc>\n <procdate>20161020</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <indspref>All field samples were GPS located.</indspref>\n <direct>Point</direct>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <geograph>\n <latres>0.0197578421</latres>\n <longres>0.0248824561</longres>\n <geogunit>Decimal seconds</geogunit>\n </geograph>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>D_North_American_1983</horizdn>\n <ellips>GRS_1980</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257222101</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>DS5-Emissivity.csv, DS5-VSWIR-4point0phi.csv, DS5-VSWIR-full-whole.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>wavelength versus emissivity or reflectance</enttypd>\n <enttypds>standard spectroscopic measurements</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>x values = wavelength in microns, y values = emissivity or reflectance ranging from 0 to 1</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Reflectance and emissivity are defined in standard remote sensing textbooks such as Rencz (Remote Sensing for the Earth Sciences: Manual of Remote Sensing, 3rd Edition, Volume 3, publication year 1999, ISBN: 0471-29405-5), and in particular Chapters 1 by Roger Clark and 2 by Hook et al.

AEG live snake ballistic data contains information on limited AEG trials with live snakes shot at distances of 4, 8, and 12 m and their behavioral responses when hit with 0.39 gram ammunition.</abstract>\n <purpose>We evaluated hobby-grade Airsoft Electric Guns (AEGs)\xe2\x80\x94a lower-powered, less-hazardous, and less-regulated alternative to firearms\xe2\x80\x94for capture and/or control of small animals, with specific emphasis on invasive brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis).</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20160701</begdate>\n <enddate>20160831</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>144.32739257812503</westbc>\n <eastbc>145.25024414062503</eastbc>\n <northbc>13.880745842025615</northbc>\n <southbc>12.92961458098724</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>Guam</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>biota</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>pest control</themekey>\n <themekey>invasive species</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5a53d19ee4b01e7be230873c</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>None</placekt>\n <placekey>Guam</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

The U.S. Northern Rockies still support a full suite of native wildlife, and survival of these populations depends on connected landscapes. Connected landscapes support current migration and dispersal as well as future shifts in species ranges that will be necessary for species to adapt to our changing climate. Working in partnership with state and federal resource managers and private land trusts, we sought to: 1) understand how future climate change may alter habitat composition of landscapes expected to serve as important connections for wildlife, 2) estimate how wildlife species of concern are expected to respond to these changes, 3) develop climate-smart strategies to help stakeholders manage public and private lands in ways that allow wildlife to continue to move in response to changing conditions, and 4) explore how well existing management plans and conservation efforts are expected to support crucial connections for wildlife under climate change. We assessed vulnerability of eight wildlife species and four biomes to climate change, with a focus on potential impacts to connectivity. Our assessment provides some insights about where these species and biomes may be most vulnerable or most resilient to loss of connectivity and how this information could support climate-smart management action. We also encountered high levels of uncertainty in how climate change is expected to alter vegetation and how wildlife are expected to respond to these changes. This uncertainty limits the value of our assessment for informing proactive management of climate change impacts on both species-specific and biome-level connectivity (although biome-level assessments were subject to fewer sources of uncertainty). We offer suggestions for improving the management relevance of future studies based on our own insights and those of managers and biologists who participated in this assessment and provided critical review of this report. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Center for Large Landscape Conservation](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Center+for+Large+Landscape+Conservation) Originator : [Bray Beltran](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Bray+Beltran), [Meredith McClure](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Meredith+McClure), [Steve Hostetler](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Steve+Hostetler) Metadata Contact : [Conservation Science Partners](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Conservation+Science+Partners) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey+-+ScienceBase) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5867e0d4e4b0cd2dabe7c76a?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5867e0d4e4b0cd2dabe7c76a?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5867e0d4e4b0cd2dabe7c76a?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | sage\_grouse\_metadata\_FGDC.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 15.93 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Sage\_Grouse.mpk | | 1.95 MB | | thumbnail.png |  | 15.87 KB | Extension: Sage\_Grouse\_mpk.zip ## Purpose The purpose of these map layers is to portray our best estimates of the potential impacts of future climate-induced changes in vegetation on focal species habitat quality and major U.S. Northern Rockies biomes based on three available models projecting future vegetation, along with multiple sources of uncertainty surrounding these estimates.

Survey. Polygons delimiting areas of mapped surficial units were compiled into a single data set. Discrepancies of unit and contact locations at quadrangle boundaries were smoothed based on interpretations by D. Weary (USGS). Gaps in coverage outside of the previously mapped quadrangles were filled in based on fieldwork and interpretation of the topography by D. Weary. Once coverage of the map area was complete, a topology was created to enforce rules of no overlaps between polygons and no gaps in areas internal to polygon areas. Lines marking the contacts of the surficial units were generated from the polygons. These lines were then attributed with descriptive values consistent with the National Park Service (NPS) data model in a flat data table. The GIS data were then provided to the NPS for additional process steps.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20130101</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The GIS data were passed back to the USGS authors for review and ultimate USGS publication at ScienceBase.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20140101</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>At the NPS (Stephanie O'Meara, Geologist/GIS Specialist/Data Manager, [email protected]) GIS features were first imported into a GRI data model compliant geodatabase. For details on the GRI data model see the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.1 (available at: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm). 1.) Line quality was checked and if warranted edited to ensure good quality linework. 2.) Feature attribution was derived using the source data attribution, and the source printed/plotted map if available. 3.) Data Model topology rules were validated for all features and any topology errors corrected. 4.) Quality control (QC) consisted of checking features and their attribution against the source digital data. A GRI developed script (QC_Script) was run to check for GRI data model validation and feature-related consistency. 5.) The UNIT and MAP tables were populated and checked against the source (s). Relationship classes were also added and used to ensure attribution consistency between feature class and table attribution. 6.) Feature symbology was produced for all feature classes. An attempt was made to best match symbology to its source map, however, in some cases features symbology maybe slightly modified, primarily based on the limitations of the ArcGIS geology style. In some cases, however, symbology may have been modified to reconcile differences from multiple sources. 7.) GIS feature classes were exported from the geodatabase to Layer (LYR) files, and GIS tables exported to DBASEIV (DBF) format.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20140101</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Vector</direct>\n <ptvctinf>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>Entity point</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>1871</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>String</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>822</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>GT-polygon composed of chains</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>137</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>String</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>143</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>String</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>33</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>GT-polygon composed of chains</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>1613</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>String</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>5043</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>String</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>2011</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>GT-polygon composed of chains</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>658</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n </ptvctinf>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <mapproj>\n <mapprojn>NAD 1983 UTM Zone 15N</mapprojn>\n <transmer>\n <sfctrmer>0.9996</sfctrmer>\n <longcm>-93.0</longcm>\n <latprjo>0.0</latprjo>\n <feast>500000.0</feast>\n <fnorth>0.0</fnorth>\n </transmer>\n </mapproj>\n <planci>\n <plance>coordinate pair</plance>\n <coordrep>\n <absres>0.000000002220024164500955</absres>\n <ordres>0.000000002220024164500955</ordres>\n </coordrep>\n <plandu>meter</plandu>\n </planci>\n </planar>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>D North American 1983</horizdn>\n <ellips>GRS 1980</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257222101</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <distinfo>\n <distrib>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntorgp>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase</cntorg>\n <cntper>ScienceBase</cntper>\n </cntorgp>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>Mailing</addrtype>\n <address>Denver Federal Center, Building 810, Mail Stop 302</address>\n <city>Denver</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80225</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>1-888-275-8747</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </distrib>\n <distliab>Distributor assumes no liability for misuse of data.

Acquiring information on possible domestic sources of these critical minerals is the rationale for the USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). The program, which partners the USGS with State Geological Surveys, federal agencies, and the private sector, aims to collect new geological, geophysical, and topographic (lidar) data in key areas of the U.S. to stimulate mineral exploration and production of critical minerals. The first phase of Earth MRI focused on the study of rare-earth elements (REE) (https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20191023A). Phase 2 version 2 focuses on the following minerals: aluminum, cobalt, graphite, lithium, niobium, platinum group elements (PGE), rare earth elements, tantalum, tin, titanium, and tungsten. The USGS has identified broad areas within the U.S. to target acquisition of geologic mapping, geophysical data, and (or) detailed topographic information to aid research, mineral exploration, and evaluation of mineral potential in these areas. Focus areas were defined using existing geologic data including data on known deposits in the U.S. The focus areas are provided as geospatial data supported by tables that summarize what is known about the mineral potential and brief descriptions of data gaps that could be addressed by the Earth MRI program. A full discussion of Earth MRI and the rationale and methods used to develop the geospatial data are provided in the report by Hammarstrom, J.M., and others (in review). ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Connie Dicken](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=2527) Process Contact : [Connie Dicken](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=2527) Originator : [Connie Dicken](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=2527), [Jane M Hammarstrom](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4153) Metadata Contact : [Connie Dicken](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=2527) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) USGS Mission Area : [Energy and Minerals](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Energy+and+Minerals) SDC Data Owner : [Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17290) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5f344f1882cee144fb32e391?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5f344f1882cee144fb32e391?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5f344f1882cee144fb32e391?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | FocusAreas\_Phase2\_v2.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 43.83 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | 11CriticalMinerals\_RevisionHistory.txt<br>“Revision History” | | 3.9 KB | text/plain | | Phase2\_DataRelease\_abbreviations.csv<br>“Abbreviations” | | 1.97 KB | text/csv | | Phase2\_DataRelease\_explanation.csv<br>“Explanation” | | 6 KB | text/csv | | Phase2\_DataRelease\_full\_table.csv<br>“Full table” | | 824.2 KB | text/csv | | Phase2\_DataRelease\_list\_of\_focus\_areas.csv<br>“List of focus areas” | | 84.08 KB | text/csv | | Phase2\_DataRelease\_references.csv<br>“References” | | 370.43 KB | text/csv | | Phase2\_DataRelease\_csv.zip<br>“5 csv files” | | 346.77 KB | application/zip | | FocusAreas\_Phase2\_v2.gdb.zip<br>“Phase 2 v2 focus area geodatabase” | | 61.35 MB | application/zip | | Phase2\_DataRelease\_tables.xls<br>“Phase 2 v2 data tables” | | 2 MB | application/vnd.ms-excel | | States\_StudyRegions.zip<br>“State boundaries” | | 10.88 MB | application/zip | | FocusAreas\_Phase2\_v2.zip<br>“Phase 2 v2 focus area shapefile” | | 80.3 MB | application/zip | | CriticalMineralsSamples.jpg<br>“Critical Mineral Samples” |  | 327.62 KB | image/jpeg | ## Related External Resources Type: Citation | | | | --- | --- | | Focus Areas for Data Acquisition for Potential Domestic Sources of Critical Minerals—Rare Earth Elements | [https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191023A](https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191023A "https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191023A") | | GIS and Data Tables for Focus Areas for Potential Domestic Nonfuel Sources of Rare Earth Elements | [https://doi.org/10.5066/P95CHIL0](https://doi.org/10.5066/P95CHIL0 "https://doi.org/10.5066/P95CHIL0") | | The Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI): Mapping the Nation’s Critical Mineral Resources | [https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20193007](https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20193007 "https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20193007") | | Systems-Deposits-Commodities-Critical Minerals Table for the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative | [https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201042](https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201042 "https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201042") | Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Hammarstrom, J.M., Dicken, C.L., Day, W.C., Hofstra, A.H., Drenth, B.J., Shah, A.K., McCafferty, A.E., Woodruff, L.G., Foley, N.K., Ponce, D.A., Frost, T.P., and Stillings, L.L., 2020, Focus areas for data acquisition for potential domestic resources of 11 critical minerals in the conterminous United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico—Aluminum, cobalt, graphite, lithium, niobium, platinum-group elements, rare earth elements, tantalum, tin, titanium, and tungsten: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191023B. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191023B](https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191023B "https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191023B") | | Hammarstrom, J.M., Dicken, C.L., Woodruff, L.G., Andersen, A.K., Brennan, S., Day, W.C., Drenth, B.J., Foley, N.K., Hall, S., Hofstra, A.H., McCafferty, A.E., Shah, A.K., and Ponce, D.A., 2022, Focus areas for data acquisition for potential domestic resources of 13 critical minerals in the conterminous United States and Puerto Rico—Antimony, barite, beryllium, chromium, fluorspar, hafnium, helium, magnesium, manganese, potash, uranium, vanadium, and zirconium, chap.

Acquiring information on possible domestic sources of these critical minerals is the rationale for the USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). The program, which partners the USGS with State Geological Surveys, federal agencies, and the private sector, aims to collect new geological, geophysical, and topographic (lidar) data in key areas of the U.S. to stimulate mineral exploration and production of critical minerals.\n\nThe first phase of Earth MRI focused on the study of rare-earth elements (REE) (https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20191023A). Phase 2 version 2 (this report) focuses on the following minerals: aluminum, cobalt, graphite, lithium, niobium, platinum group elements (PGE), rare earth elements, tantalum, tin, titanium, and tungsten. The USGS has identified broad areas within the U.S. to target acquisition of geologic mapping, geophysical data, and (or) detailed topographic information to aid research, mineral exploration, and evaluation of mineral potential in these areas. Focus areas were defined using existing geologic data including data on known deposits in the U.S. The focus areas are provided as geospatial data supported by tables that summarize what is known about the mineral potential and brief descriptions of data gaps that could be addressed by the Earth MRI program. A full discussion of Earth MRI and the rationale and methods used to develop the geospatial data are provided in the following report:\n\nHammarstrom, J.M., and others (in review)</abstract>\n <purpose>These geospatial data provide the locations of focus areas to be used for the planning and collection of geophysical, geological, and topographic (lidar) data pertaining to the Earth MRI study of aluminum, cobalt, graphite, lithium, niobium, platinum group elements (PGE), rare earth elements, tantalum, tin, titanium, and tungsten resources in the U.S. Focus areas are outlined solely on the basis of geology, regardless of political boundaries. Therefore, areas may include federal, as well as state, tribal, and private lands, which may or may not be open to exploration and mining activities. These data are shared to meet open data requirements and are suitable for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or other database and geospatial software used to derive maps and perform geospatial analyses.</purpose>\n <supplinf>The GIS data consist of a polygon layer, or \xe2\x80\x9cfeature class\xe2\x80\x9d, which depict the locations of focus areas, that might control the distribution of mineral deposits. Individual focus areas may be represented by one or more polygons. When a focus area is defined by more than one polygon, the polygons are grouped to form a \xe2\x80\x9cmulti-part\xe2\x80\x9d feature in the GIS data. For example, the focus area pertaining to the High-Al Pennsylvanian Underclays across many states consists of 2,144 polygons. These polygons are grouped and appear as a single record in the GIS attribute table with the NewID \xe2\x80\x9cNE028\xe2\x80\x9d. In all, there are over 28,400 polygons that make up 498 focus areas. Polygons representing different focus areas may overlap.

Resulting focus areas ranged from areas with identified resources and past production to areas with geologic characteristics permissive for undiscovered deposits with no known deposits. Specific data needs that could be addressed by the Earth MRI program to better evaluate each focus area for critical mineral potential were summarized. \n\nThe evaluation of existing data formed the rationale for developing polygon features in a GIS. The geospatial delineation of focus areas involved a variety of data sources and approaches. Focus areas for potential 11 critical minerals were developed by querying digital state geologic map data for permissive host rocks based on lithology and age. Other focus areas were derived using generalized outlines of mining districts or mineral belts, distributions of observed occurrences, and in some cases, geochemical and (or) geophysical anomalies associated with deposits.</procdesc>\n <srcused>Hofstra and Kreiner (2020)</srcused>\n <srcused>Esri (2012)</srcused>\n <procdate>20200422</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Connie Dicken</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, NORTHEAST REGION</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Geologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>Mail Stop 954, 12201 Sunrise Valley Dr</address>\n <city>Reston</city>\n <state>VA</state>\n <postal>20192</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>703-648-6482</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>703-648-6252</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Vector</direct>\n <ptvctinf>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>G-polygon</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>498</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n </ptvctinf>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <mapproj>\n <mapprojn>Albers Conical Equal Area</mapprojn>\n <albers>\n <stdparll>29.5</stdparll>\n <stdparll>45.5</stdparll>\n <longcm>-96.0</longcm>\n <latprjo>37.5</latprjo>\n <feast>0.0</feast>\n <fnorth>0.0</fnorth>\n </albers>\n </mapproj>\n <planci>\n <plance>coordinate pair</plance>\n <coordrep>\n <absres>0.6096</absres>\n <ordres>0.6096</ordres>\n </coordrep>\n <plandu>meters</plandu>\n </planci>\n </planar>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>North_American_Datum_1983</horizdn>\n <ellips>GRS_1980</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257222101</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>FocusAreas_Phase2_v2 Attribute Table</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Table containing attribute information associated with the data set.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>NewID</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>A unique identifier for each focus area.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>USGS authors</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>An alphanumeric identifier formatted as XX### where \nXX represent the subregion and the ### is a number.\nThe value of subregion can be Alaska (AK), Hawaii (HI), North Central (NC), Northeast (NE), Northwest (NW), Rocky Mountains (RM), South Central (SC), Southeast (SE), or Southwest (SW).

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA], 2018, Water quality standards\xe2\x80\x94Establishment of a numeric criterion for selenium for the State of California: Federal Register, v. 83, no. 239, p. 64059\xe2\x80\x9364078, accessed May 2020 at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2018-26781.</srccontr>\n </srcinfo>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The IFM model results: In the "Diet Component Analysis and Categorization of Fish Species" section of the OFR, and in Table 6, four representative IFM food webs are identified for four categories of fish species in in Lake Koocanusa.\nThe following tabs shows the model and calculated results for each of these four IFM food webs for Lake Koocanusa.\n1. IFM 100% aq insects - Fish consuming a diet of 100% aquatic insects (chironomids) - model representing rainbow trout (Apr-Nov), westslope cutthroat trout, redside shiner, and longnose sucker\n2. IFM 50-50 AqInsect-Zoop\tFish consuming a diet of 50% aquatic insects (chironomids) and 50% zooplankton - model representing peamouth chub, largescale sucker, and mountain whitefish\n3. IFM 25-75 AqInsect-Zoop - \tFish consuming a diet of 25% aquatic insects (chironomids), 75% zooplankton - model representing rainbow trout feeding habits Dec-March.\n4. IFM 100% Zooplankton - Fish consuming 100% zooplankton diet - model representing kokanee.\nThe tab labeled \xe2\x80\x9c5. IFM generic\xe2\x80\x9d is provided for users wishing to run to model for scenario parameters they define themselves.\nEach IFM tab contains the following:\n1. Lines 1-13 specify all model input parameters except for the Kd partitioning factor. Green cells are scenario-specific values.\n2. Line 5 is a text entry (optional) used to describe the fish species being modeled.\n3. Line 6 is the specified target concentration of Se in fish whole-body tissues in part-per-million dry-weight, specified by a number (required). As stated in the "Introduction" section of the OFR, the USEPA regulatory standard of 8.5 ppm dw (USEPA) is the primary target concentration evaluated in the in the report. All IFM tabs in this data release implement this modeling assumption.\n4. Lines 8 and 9 are the fraction of the diet of the species being modeled that is aquatic insects (line 8) and zooplankton (line 9). A numeric value between 0 and 1 (required) is specified in line 8; line 9 is calculated such that the entire diet is composed of these two components.\n5. Line 11 specifies the fraction of Se in suspended particulate matter (SPM) that is bioavailable to the food web. A numeric value (required) between 1 and 0 is required to run the model. Model results presented in the "Conclusions" section of the OFR are based on two bioavailability scenarios: 1.0 (100%) and 0.6 (60%). The effect of the bioavailability estimate is described in "Modeling and Fish Scenario Development", and the basis for the 0.6 bioavailability scenario is described in "Model Validation." Each IFM tab in this data release presents both the 100% and the 60% (or other user-specified) bioavailability scenario results.\n6. Line 13 specifies the invertebrate-to-fish trophic transfer factor for the model. A numeric value is required. A generic TTF fish of 1.1 is used in the model results presented in the report. The "Species-Specific TTFfish for Predator and Forage Fish" section of the OFR includes species-specific TTF values that could be substituted, and Table 10 includes a single illustrative calculation for each species-specific TTF value. The generic value of 1.1 is used in the IFM tabs presented here; substituting species- specific values into this worksheet will result in a species-specific set of model runs.\n7. Lines 16 and below contain the model calculations. Blue cells are linked to the model input cells described above. Orange cells are calculated values. Grey cells are values set by data documented in the report.\n8. Columns A through H are model inputs. Column A, B, D, and E are linked directly from the valued described above. Columns C and E are the trophic transfer factors (TTFs) for aquatic insects (2.8. from equation 4) and zooplankton (1.5, from equation 5)\n9. Columns G and H contain the calculated values for the bioaccumulation potential (BAP) for two scenarios for bioavailability. These calculations are described in the \xe2\x80\x9cModeled Bioaccumulation Potentials for Lake Koocanusa\xe2\x80\x9d section of the OFR, and the BAFs for each food web are shown in Table 6. \n10. Columns I through M present the complete dataset for Kd for Lake Koocanusa presented as a basis for modeling. These correspond directly to Columns A-D, and Column P of Table 8 of the OFR. Blank rows (dates with no Kd values) have been removed.\n11. Columns O and P present the model results.\n12. Columns S and T are a resorting of the model results for graphing.\n13. Columns N and R are used for sorting.\n14. The chart anchored at Cell A23 illustrate the full set of model results for the calculations on each sheet, as well as a reference line at 1.5 ppm, the current recommended EPA standard referenced in the OFR.\n15. Below the chart at cells B50:D52 is a table that summarizes the percentage of the model results for this scenario where the protective water column concentration is below the value specified in column B. These correspond to the description of the model results in the Conclusions section of the OFR.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200810</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The TFM model results In the "Diet Component Analysis and Categorization of Fish Species" section of the OFR, and in Table 7, three representative TFM food webs are identified for predator fish species in Lake Koocanusa. The three models differ in the assumed diet of the prey fish. The worksheet tabs shows the model and calculated results for each of these three TFM food webs for Lake Koocanusa.\nWorksheet 6. TFM w TL3 100% AqIns - Fish consuming a diet of 100% prey fish, with those prey fish consuming a diet of 100% aquatic insects (chironomids) - model representing burbot (during winter benthic feeding), bull trout, and northern pikeminnow.\nWorksheet 7. TFM w TL3 50-50 AqIns-Zoop - Fish consuming a diet of 100% prey fish, with those prey fish consuming a diet of 50% aquatic insects (chironomids) and 50% zooplankton - model representing bull trout, burbot, and northern pikeminnow.\nWorksheet 8. TFM w TL3 100% Zoop - Fish consuming a diet of 100% prey fish, with those prey fish consuming a diet of 100% zooplankton - model representing burbot (summer feeding), bull trout, northern pikeminnow, and rainbow trout that consume only kokanee.\nWorksheet 9. TFM generic\xe2\x80\x9d is provided for users wishing to run to the TFM model for scenario parameters they define themselves.\nEach TFM tab contains the following:\n1. Lines 1-21 specify all model input parameters except for the Kd partitioning factor. Green cells are scenario-specific values.\n2. Line 6 is a text entry (optional) used to describe the fish species being modeled.\n3. Line 7 is the specified target concentration of Se in fish whole-body tissues in part-per-million dry-weight, specified by a number (required). As stated in the "Introduction" section of the OFR, the USEPA regulatory standard of 8.5 ppm dw (USEPA) is the primary target concentration evaluated in the OFR. All TFM tabs in this data release implement this modeling assumption.\n4. Lines 9-12 are the fraction of the diet of the species being modeled that is comprised of prey fish (lines 9, 10), aquatic insects (line 11) and zooplankton (line 12). Numeric values between 0 and 1 are required in rows 9-12 and must sum to 1 or less; line 12 is calculated.\n5. Lines 14 and 15, columns B and C, specify the fraction of the diet(s) of the prey fish being consumed that are aquatic insects or zooplankton. A numeric value between 0 and 1 is required in line 14; line 15 is calculated such that the total diet sums to 1. \n6. Line 17 specifies the fraction of Se in suspended particulate matter (SPM) that is bioavailable to the food web. A numeric value (required) between 1 and 0 is required to run the model. Model results presented in the "Conclusions" section of the OFR are based on two bioavailability scenarios: 1.0 (100%) and 0.6 (60%). The effect of the bioavailability estimate is described in "Modeling and Fish Scenario Development", and the basis for the 0.6 bioavailability scenario is described in "Model Validation." Each TFM tab in this data release presents both the 100% and the 60% (or other user-specified) bioavailability scenario results.\n7. Lines 19-21 specify the trophic transfer factors to fish: line 18 is the invertebrate-to-prey-fish 1 TTF, line 19 is the invertebrate-to-prey-fish 2 TTF, and line 19 is the TL3 to TL4 TTF for the predator fish being modeled. A numeric value is required. A generic TTF fish of 1.1 is used in the model results presented in the OFR. The "Species-Specific TTF fish for Predator and Forage Fish" section of the OFR includes species-specific TTF values that could be substituted, and Table 10 includes a single illustrative calculation for each species-specific TTF value. The generic value of 1.1 is used for all three fish species in the TFM tabs presented here; substituting species- specific values into this worksheet will result in a species-specific set of model runs.\n8. Lines 24 and below contain the model calculations. Blue cells are linked to the model input cells described above. Orange cells are calculated values. Grey cells are values set by data documented in the OFR.\n9. Columns B through M are model inputs. Column B-G, I, and K are linked directly from the values described above. Columns H and J are the trophic transfer factors (TTFs) for aquatic insects (2.8. from equation 4) and zooplankton (1.5, from equation 5)\n10. Row 28, columns B-K represent the diet of the predator fish being modeled; Rows 29 and 30 represent the diets of the two prey fish that comprise (part of) the diet of the predator being modeled.\n11. Columns L and M contain the calculated values for the bioaccumulation potential (BAP) for two scenarios for bioavailability. These calculations are described in the \xe2\x80\x9cModeled Bioaccumulation Potentials for Lake Koocanusa\xe2\x80\x9d section of the OFR, and the BAFs for each of the TFM food webs are shown in Table 7. \n12. Columns N through R present the complete dataset for Kd for Lake Koocanusa presented as a basis for modeling. These correspond directly to Columns A-D, and Column P of Table 8 of the OFR. Blank rows (dates with no Kd values) have been removed.\n13. Columns R and T present the model results.\n14. Columns X and Y are a resorting of the model results for graphing.\n15. Columns S and W are used for sorting.\n16. The chart anchored at Cell b32 illustrates the full set of model results for the calculations on each sheet, as well as a reference line at 1.5 ppm, the current recommended EPA standard referenced in the OFR.\n17. Below the chart at cells C60:E62 is a table that summarizes the percentage of the model results for this scenario where the protective water column concentration is below the value specified in column C. These correspond to the description of the model results in the Conclusions section of the OFR.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200810</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Cooperator requested additional model results: Montana Department of Environmental Quality, the USGS cooperator for this work, requested that the results for several additional model scenarios be produced, and provided the following description of each.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nScenario 1: Focal Species: peamouth chub\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nCriteria: USGS professional opinion for protective criteria such that no individual bull trout is harmed.\t\t\t\t\nRationale: bull trout are listed as threatened and are protected under the Endangered Species Act. Bull trout represent a piscivorous food web. \t\t\t\t\nResults Notes: \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1. Per Table 4 of the OFR, bull trout are represented by the TFM model, so the calculations in Tabs 6-8 apply to this scenario.\n2. Criteria must be numeric; Illustrative results for a criteria of 8.5 ppm are provide in Tabs 6-8; alternative numeric criteria can be explored by a user using Tab 9\n3. The specific food web that applies depends on composition of prey fish consumed by bull trout; Tabs 6-8 illustrate 3 different prey fish diet compositions.\n\nScenario 2: Focal Species: peamouth chub (using species specific food web &amp; a conservative aquatic insect food web\t\t\nCriteria: 8.5 &amp; 4.0 mg/kg dw in whole-body tissues\t\t\t\t\t\nRationale: peamouth chub are relatively data rich species in the reservoir; their small size makes them likely candidates as a forage species for piscivorous fish and wildlife; and, they appear to accumulate selenium to high levels relative to other species.\t\t\nResults Notes:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1. Per Table 4 of the OFR, the peamouth chub food web is best represented as 50% aquatic insect, 50% zooplankton\n2. See Tab \xe2\x80\x9cS2 species-specific\xe2\x80\x9d for model results for the two specified numeric criteria.\n3. See Tab \xe2\x80\x9cS2 conservative\xe2\x80\x9d for model results for the two specified numeric criteria for an assumed \xe2\x80\x9cconservative aquatic insect foodweb\xe2\x80\x9d\n\nScenario 3: Focal Species: rainbow trout\nCriteria: 8.5 &amp; 5.6 mg/kg dw in whole-body tissues (5.6 calculated using egg/ovary:whole-body conversion factor of 1.96 for rainbow trout, the basis for the BCMOE guideline; presented in USEPA 2016)\nRationale: A sensitive species in the reservoir representing a primarily aquatic insect food web. \t\t\t\t\nResults Notes:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1. Per Table 4 of the OFR, rainbow trout food web is 100% aquatic insect, but may switch to predominantly zooplankton in Dec-Mar; given the stated rationale for interest in this scenario, the 100% aquatic insect food web results are presented\n2. See "IFM 100% aq insect" tab for results at whole-body tissue concentration target of 8.5. \n3. See "S3 rainbow trout\xe2\x80\x9d tab for additional calculation for alternative target concentration specified above\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nScenario 4: Focal Species: mountain whitefish\nCriteria: 8.5 &amp; 7.6 mg/kg dw in whole-body tissues (7.6 calculated using muscle:whole-body conversion factor of 1.27; USEPA 2016)\nRationale: mountain whitefish appear to accumulate selenium to higher levels relative to other species typically consumed by humans; culturally important species to Ktunaxa citizens. This scenario would demonstrate that Ktunaxa citizens consuming fish at their preferred rate (i.e., 168 g/day \xe2\x80\x93 noting that the preferred rates are under development but that the guidance given to EMC in 2016 by KNC reflects this rate) would be protected \xe2\x80\x93 to meet this criteria muscle tissues should not exceed the BCMOE (2014) human consumption screening value, adjusted for the Ktunaxa preferred consumption rate, of 2.4 mg/kg ww or 9.7 mg/kg dw). \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nResults Notes:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1. Per Table 4 of the OFR, mountain whitefish food web is about 60% aquatic insect, 40% zooplankton. It is represented in the OFR by the 50/50 food web. \n2.

These data represent compiled long-term rangeland monitoring data collected from June to September, 1967 to 2013 at 96 permanently marked sites in 15 livestock grazing allotments in near Hanksville, Utah. The Rangeland rangeland monitoring data were collected by a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) field office in south-central Utah. Monitoring consisted of estimating canopy cover of perennial plant species inside permanently marked 1.5 × 1.5m plots using a frame that was divided into 6 ×6 cm sections. The purpose of these data is to demonstrate how long-term rangeland monitoring data can be synthesized using ecological site concepts to understand how changes in plant species cover are driven by precipitation and grazing across the landscape By bridging long-term rangeland monitoring data with ecological site concepts, we provide the context to enhance understanding of vegetation response to climate and land use, which can ultimately inform management decisions and guide future monitoring efforts. ## Rights The authors of these data request that data users contact them regarding intended use and to assist with understanding limitations and interpretation.

Monitoring results consist of canopy cover of plant species and functional types according to ecological site group from 1967 to 2013. The study area is bordered on the north by the Wayne-Emery County line, on the west by Capitol Reef National Park, and on the south and east by the Colorado River, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and Canyonlands National Park. Cover was estimated every 1 to 5 years (except the last measurement that had a 12 year interval) from 1967 to 2013 at 36 permanently marked sites in 15 livestock grazing allotments/pastures. Canopy cover of perennial plant species was estimated to the nearest tenth of a percent inside permanently marked 1.5 x 1.5 m plots using a frame that was divided into 6 x 6 cm sections.</abstract>\n <purpose>This dataset assesses the condition of rangeland vegetation on the Colorado Plateau to inform management decisions. These data represent compiled long-term rangeland monitoring data collected from June to September, 1967 to 2013 at 96 permanently marked sites in 15 livestock grazing allotments in near Hanksville, Utah. The Rangeland rangeland monitoring data were collected by a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) field office in south-central Utah. Monitoring consisted of estimating canopy cover of perennial plant species inside permanently marked 1.5 \xc3\x97 1.5m plots using a frame that was divided into 6 \xc3\x976 cm sections. The purpose of these data is to demonstrate how long-term rangeland monitoring data can be synthesized using ecological site concepts to understand how changes in plant species cover are driven by precipitation and grazing across the landscape By bridging long-term rangeland monitoring data with ecological site concepts, we provide the context to enhance understanding of vegetation response to climate and land use, which can ultimately inform management decisions and guide future monitoring efforts.</purpose>\n <supplinf>These data can be used to examine spatial or temporal patterns in rangeland vegetation condition in southern Utah from 1967-2013 and were used to understand vegetation response to climate and land-use in the published paper:\nMunson, S.M., M.C. Duniway, and J.K. Johanson. 2016. Rangeland monitoring reveals long-term plant responses to precipitation and grazing at the landscape-scale.

Data acquisition/collection: Plant species were grouped according to perennial grasses, subshrubs (woody plants usually &lt; 0.5 m and always &lt; 1 m in height), and shrubs (woody plants 1 \xe2\x80\x92 4 m). We also separated perennial grasses into those with a C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathway. Cover by species and aggregated by functional types (Appendix 1) was normalized with a calculation of the change in cover per unit time: Change in cover= (ln(covert2/covert1))/(t2-t1), where covert2 is for year t2, and covert1 is for t1, the previous sampling year, calculated for each pair of consecutive years across the entire vegetation time series. Positive values of this index indicate that a species increased in cover between measurements, whereas negative values indicate a decrease in cover. Precipitation variables were averaged over the vegetation sampling period, which is the same period of time used in the change in cover index (t2 - t1). We initially included precipitation variables (cool-season, warm-season, and annual mean) within the first 12 months before vegetation measurements to account for the influence of precipitation at a shorter time scale, but found that these additional variables did not improve model fits compared to variables averaged over the vegetation sampling period, so they were not retained in the analysis. We related precipitation, ecological site group, and grazing intensity to changes in plant species and functional type covers for each pair of consecutive years using a two-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with ecological site group (six levels) and grazing intensity (two levels) as class variables and precipitation as a continuous variable. When the precipitation effect from the ANCOVA model was significant, the slope between the change in plant cover and precipitation variable defined the \xe2\x80\x9cplant response\xe2\x80\x9d. This plant response indicates the capacity of a plant to increase in cover when water is available and decrease with low water availability. When there was a significant precipitation by species, grazing intensity, or ecological site interaction, we used ANCOVA contrasts to compare slopes among different species, grazing intensities, and ecological site groups. Analyses were only performed on plant species and functional types that had a sufficient sample size. For more information see:\nMunson, S.M., M.C. Duniway, and J.K. Johanson. 2016.

Rangeland monitoring consisted of estimating canopy cover of perennial plant species inside permanently marked 1.5 x 1.5 m plots using a frame that was divided into 6 x 6 cm sections. Repeat landscape photographs were taken at the north end of the plot. Nested frequency and point intercept are common range trend methods and were also used at the monitoring site, but preliminary analyses revealed these measurements had extreme variability among years likely due to methodological differences throughout the study period (e.g., frames not placed in the same part of the transect every year, inconsistencies in the number of points read; personal communication with BLM), and therefore, we did not further consider these measurements. The rangeland monitoring data were hand-written in paper format with no GPS coordinates of transect locations, little metadata, and no site characterization. We converted the paper data into an electronic database to conduct analyses. We chose 36 of the sites that: 1) had a minimum of six continuous, repeat measurements taken 1 \xe2\x80\x93 12 years apart throughout the study period (1967 \xe2\x80\x93 2013), and 2) were likely to represent a range of ecological sites based on preliminary field visits. We visited the chosen sites using hand-written maps and the guidance of BLM range staff, then georeferenced transect locations with a high precision GPS instrument, photographed, and qualitatively described the landform, slope, aspect, hillslope position and plant community composition at the site. We determined average grazing intensity (% utilization) of a pasture over the last 25 years from a combination of historical stocking rate maps and qualitative assessments obtained by visiting sites with a long-term (worked at BLM field office for 25 years) range technician. We classified grazing according to slight-moderate (\xe2\x89\xa4 60%) and heavy-severe (&gt; 60%) utilization (USDA/USDI 1999). We found that there was a strong difference between our utilization categories with respect to distance to water accessible by cattle (t = 43.71, P &lt; 0.0001). We characterized soil horizons at all the sites to a depth of 1 m using a 76 mm diameter auger. Soil characterization consisted of texture, chemistry, and physical properties. We extracted mean monthly precipitation for each of the transect locations from a 800 m gridded PRISM dataset and compiled monthly values into cool (October \xe2\x80\x93 March) and warm (July \xe2\x80\x93 September) seasons. The soils, precipitation, landform, and vegetation data were used to determine the ecological site classification for each study site, resulting in 15 different classifications within the study area. There were a relatively small number of plots measured to assess changes in plant species according to ecological site, which is an ideal way to stratify sampling but is often not feasible with historical data. Due to the low number of available plots within each ecological site, and the similarity among certain ecological sites with respect to soils (dominant surface textural class, soil depth, and parent material) and plant community composition, we elected to group ecological sites based on these shared soil and plant properties for analysis. Such grouping of ecological sites is common for landscape-scale analyses in areas marked by high spatial heterogeneity and limited sample sizes. Furthermore, consideration of multiple ecological sites can reduce redundancy and be effectively used to assess the effects of broad-scale drivers such as climate.

This site is in a tidal channel at a levee breach where flow is tidally influenced. The water depth of the sensor ranged from 0.19 to 3.71 m and may have been lower during periods of extreme low tide. The sensor elevation was adjusted during inspection on 10/03/2017 and a correction of +0.33 m was added to water depth from 10/03/2017 to 03/13/2017. The elevation (NAVD88) of the ADVM sensor was survey by RTN-GPS. The offset to convert all water depth time-series data to water surface elevation (NAVD88) is -0.18 meters. The instrument temperature ranged from -0.4 to 15.9 degrees C. The mean downstream velocity component (Vx) ranged from -0.91 to 1.07 m/s (downstream is positive in X and upstream is negative). The mean vertical velocity component (Vy) ranged from -0.20 to 0.26 m/s and signal to noise ratio ranged from 17.6 to 50.4 dB. The ADVM measured the water-velocity profile using a dynamic boundary adjustment mode allowing up to 10 velocity measurements in the water-column profile. Time-series gaps of 15-minutes or more occurred when the instrument was offline or when error thresholds were exceeded. Also at this site, a non-vented, multiparameter sonde (YSI, 600 OMS) measured water depth, water temperature, specific conductance, salinity, and turbidity at 15-minute intervals from October 12, 2016 to March 31, 2017 (123 out of 170 days, excluding missing periods). The depth ranged from 0.06 to 3.66 m. The water temperature ranged from -0.3 to 16.1 degrees C. The specific conductance ranged from 160 to 38,850 micro-siemens per centimeter (uS/cm), and 0.1 to 24.7 practical salinity units (PSU). The turbidity ranged from 2.1 to 1,108 formazin nephelometric units (FNU). This site is also referenced as "USGS 12081518 Area Three near Olympia, WA".

The number of wells and households are summarized for each Public Land Survey System (PLSS) section. The well locations were determined from more than 635,000 scanned well-completion reports (WCRs) provided by the California Department of Water Resources in 2011. This is only a partial sample of the total number of WCRs (estimated at 1 to 2 million in total). The number of domestic wells was estimated based upon a spatially distributed and randomized survey that determined the Township Ratio (TR) for each township in the state (4,692 in total). Each township generally contains 36 sections (6 x 6). The total number of wells within a section was multiplied by the corresponding TR to estimate the number of domestic wells within each section. See the "TRatio" column in the attribute table. Each section within the same township will have the same Township Ratio. The domestic household data are from the 1990 US Census. These data were provided at the census tract level and were subsequently aggregated to PLSS sections that contained a domestic well. In the case where census tract data identified households using domestic supply, but there were no domestic wells within the tract, the household data were distributed evenly to all sections within the tract. In San Luis Obispo County, the scanned WCRs were incomplete. Therefore, a surrogate method was used. The total number of households reported by the 1990 census did not change; only the distribution of where those households existed within the tract changed. A WCR was considered an individually-owned domestic well if the primary use of the well was identified as being domestic, the owner was an individual, and the well was not destroyed as of 1990.

The number of wells and households are summarized for each Public Land Survey System (PLSS) section. The well locations were determined from more than 635,000 scanned well-completion reports (WCRs) provided by the California Department of Water Resources in 2011. This is only a partial sample of the total number of WCRs (estimated at 1 to 2 million in total). The number of domestic wells was estimated based upon a spatially distributed and randomized survey that determined the Township Ratio (TR) for each township in the state (4,692 in total). Each township generally contains 36 sections (6 x 6). The total number of wells within a section was multiplied by the corresponding TR to estimate the number of domestic wells within each section. See the "TRatio" column in the attribute table. Each section within the same township will have the same Township Ratio. The domestic household data are from the 1990 US Census. These data were provided at the census tract level and were subsequently aggregated to PLSS sections that contained a domestic well. In the case where census tract data identified households using domestic supply, but there were no domestic wells within the tract, the household data were distributed evenly to all sections within the tract. In San Luis Obispo County, the scanned WCRs were incomplete. Therefore, a surrogate method was used. The total number of households reported by the 1990 census did not change; only the distribution of where those households existed within the tract changed. \nA WCR was considered an individually-owned domestic well if the primary use of the well was identified as being domestic, the owner was an individual, and the well was not destroyed as of 1990. See the larger body work (Johnson and Belitz 2015) for more details.</abstract>\n <purpose>The purpose of this dataset is to identify the spatial distribution of the domestic wells and the households using domestic supply in California as of 1990.</purpose>\n <supplinf>Currentness: households using domestic supply is from the 1990 U.S. Census; domestic well locations are derived from a dataset acquired from the California Department of Water Resources in 2011.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>19900101</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>See Supplemental Info</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-124.507576854</westbc>\n <eastbc>-113.489014915</eastbc>\n <northbc>42.061478244</northbc>\n <southbc>32.425448895</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Categories</themekt>\n <themekey>California</themekey>\n <themekey>domestic</themekey>\n <themekey>groundwater</themekey>\n <themekey>location</themekey>\n <themekey>households</themekey>\n <themekey>wells</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:55ad2901e4b066a24924099b</themekey>\n </theme>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

SPARROW relates instream water quality measurements to spatially referenced characteristics of watersheds, including contaminant sources and the factors influencing terrestrial and aquatic transport. The number of people with on-site wastewater treatment (primarily septic tanks) is a potential factor affecting nutrient delivery to streams. The spatial data set “Population with On-Site Wastewater Treatment within the Pacific Drainages of the United States, 2010" represents the number of people that did not have access to centralized municipal wastewater treatment in 2010. This data set was created by disaggregating census block populations to developed land and retaining those populations that were outside of the service boundaries for municipal wastewater treatment plants. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Daniel Wise](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11375) Originator : [Daniel Wise](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11375) Metadata Contact : [Daniel Wise](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11375) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) SDC Data Owner : [Oregon Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17494) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5b68afe6e4b006a11f75b866?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5b68afe6e4b006a11f75b866?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5b68afe6e4b006a11f75b866?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | pac\_ns\_pop\_meta\_data.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 14.95 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | pac\_ns\_pop.7z | | 7.94 MB | application/x-7z-compressed | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Wise, D.R., 2019, Spatially referenced models of streamflow and nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads in streams of the Pacific region of the United States: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195112. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195112](https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195112 "https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195112") | ## Purpose The purpose of this data set is to provide water-quality and land management analysts with a tool for assessing the importance of on-site wastewater treatment in the Pacific drainages of the United States.

Updated \xe2\x80\x9c2002 PNW sewered\xe2\x80\x9d shapefile (Wise and Johnson, 2013) to represent areas with sewer service in 2010 conditions. \nb). Created shapefile representing areas with municipal sewer service that were not included in \xe2\x80\x9c2002 PNW sewered\xe2\x80\x9d. The data set was compiled on a county-by-county basis. Sewered areas in each county reflected shapefiles provided by government agencies within the county, sewered areas delineated by USGS staff, urban areas within each county that were served by a wastewater treatment facility with an National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit or land-application wastewater treatment permit, or a combination of these approaches. \nc) Merged shapefiles from generated in steps (1.a) and (1.b) to create a regional shapefile representing areas with municipal sewer service within the Pacific drainages of the United States.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20160601</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Step 2: Disaggregation of census block to data to developed land. \na) Created 30-meter raster representing each census block. \nb) Created 30-meter raster representing 2011_NLCD low, medium, and high developed land (22,23,24; excluded class 21 because it mostly included land where residential development was not likely). \nc) Used COMBINE tool to combine the rasters created in steps (2.a) and (2.b). \nd) Calculated the number of people per each developed land cell (census bock population divided by the number of developed cells within the census block): \ne) Used LOOKUP tool to create a raster showing the number of people per developed land cell:</procdesc>\n <procdate>20160601</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Step 3: Selection of population without municipal sewer service. \na) Used EXTRACT BY MASK to select cells from raster created in step (2.e) that were located within the areas represented in the shapefile created in step (1.c). \nb) Used RECLASS to change all population values to 0 in the raster created in step (3.a). \nc) Multiplied the raster created in step (2.e) by the raster created in step (3.b). This step removes all population residing within areas with sewer service. The resulting raster only includes non-zero values for areas outside of those areas. Cells with No Data represent areas that were not covered by the data sets used to create this raster data set.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20160601</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Raster</direct>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <mapproj>\n <mapprojn>Albers Conical Equal Area</mapprojn>\n <albers>\n <stdparll>29.5</stdparll>\n <stdparll>45.5</stdparll>\n <longcm>-96.0</longcm>\n <latprjo>23.0</latprjo>\n <feast>0.0</feast>\n <fnorth>0.0</fnorth>\n </albers>\n </mapproj>\n <planci>\n <plance>coordinate pair</plance>\n <coordrep>\n <absres>30.0</absres>\n <ordres>30.0</ordres>\n </coordrep>\n <plandu>METERS</plandu>\n </planci>\n </planar>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>D_North_American_1983</horizdn>\n <ellips>GRS_1980</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257222101</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Attribute table</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Table contains 30 meter cells representing the number people using on-site wastewater treatment in 2010</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>VALUE</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Number of people using on-site wastewater treatment for each developed land cell.

It is important to know whether major mining districts in the Northern Nevada Gold Province are underlain by rocks of the Archean Wyoming craton, which are known to contain orogenic gold deposits, or by accreted rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Mojave province. It is also important to know the location and orientation of the Archean/Proterozoic suture zone between these provinces as well as major basement structures within these terranes because they may influence subsequent patterns of sedimentation, deformation, magmatism, and hydrothermal activity.

This study was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Resources Program in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [USGS - Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=USGS+-+Crustal+Geophysics+and+Geochemistry+Science+Center) Originator : [Brian D Rodriguez](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=8727) Metadata Contact : [Philip J Brown II](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=1233) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/59c43398e4b091459a6354be?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/59c43398e4b091459a6354be?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/59c43398e4b091459a6354be?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 50.1 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | AP34M1.TS1 | | 41.15 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M1.TS2 | | 6.03 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M1.TS3 | | 1.02 KB | text/plain | | AP34M2.TS1 | | 41.15 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M2.TS2 | | 6.03 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M2.TS3 | | 6.03 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M3.TS2 | | 6.03 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M3.TS3 | | 6.03 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M4.TS2 | | 6.03 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M4.TS3 | | 6.03 KB | application/unknown | | AP34M5.TS3 | | 6.03 KB | application/unknown | | BF4-9705.RSP | | 1.07 KB | text/plain | | BF4-9710.RSP | | 1.07 KB | text/plain | | BF7-9609.RSP | | 1.06 KB | text/plain | | EF-9608X.RSP | | 5.74 KB | text/plain | | EF-9608Y.RSP | | 5.74 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34.edi | | 55.3 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_High\_01.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_High\_02.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Low\_01.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Low\_02.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Low\_03.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Low\_04.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Low\_05.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Mid\_01.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Mid\_02.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Mid\_03.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | USA-Nevada-Wells-2005-MT34-TS\_Mid\_04.txt | | 19.83 KB | text/plain | | mt34.jpg |  | 311.56 KB | image/jpeg | | readme.txt | | 179 Bytes | text/plain | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Related Primary Publication | [https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2006/1119/](https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2006/1119/ "https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2006/1119/") | Type: PDF Download | | | | --- | --- | | MT / EMAP Data Interchange Standard Electrical Data Interchange (EDI) Standard. | [http://www.seg.org/documents/10161/77915/seg\_mt\_emap\_1987.pdf](http://www.seg.org/documents/10161/77915/seg_mt_emap_1987.pdf "http://www.seg.org/documents/10161/77915/seg_mt_emap_1987.pdf") | ## Purpose The purpose of this data release is to provide MT station locations and data to the public. In the Great Basin, the strike of the Archean/Proterozoic suture zone is poorly constrained because it is largely concealed below a Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic miogeocline and basin fill. To better constrain the location and strike of the Archean/Proterozoic suture zone below cover, an east-west MT sounding profile was acquired in northeastern Nevada to investigate buried structures or sutures that may have influenced subsequent regional fluid flow and localized mineralization. ## Preview Image  ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/59c43398e4b091459a6354be) [](/catalog/item/imap/59c43398e4b091459a6354be) ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Theme - [CGGSC](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DCGGSC "CGGSC (CGGSC, Theme, None)") - [Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DCrustal+Geophysics+and+Geochemistry+Science+Center "Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center (Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center, Theme, None)") - [Electromagnetic surveying](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DElectromagnetic+surveying "Electromagnetic surveying (Electromagnetic surveying, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [GPS measurement](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGPS+measurement "GPS measurement (GPS measurement, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Geophysics](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGeophysics "Geophysics (Geophysics, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Gold Deposits](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGold+Deposits "Gold Deposits (Gold Deposits, Theme, None)") - [Gold Mining](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGold+Mining "Gold Mining (Gold Mining, Theme, None)") - [MRP](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMRP "MRP (MRP, Theme, None)") - [MT](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMT "MT (MT, Theme, None)") - [Magnetic field (earth)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMagnetic+field+%28earth%29 "Magnetic field (earth) (Magnetic field (earth), Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Magnetic surveying](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMagnetic+surveying "Magnetic surveying (Magnetic surveying, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Mineral Resources Program](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMineral+Resources+Program "Mineral Resources Program (Mineral Resources Program, Theme, None)") - [Northern Nevada Gold Province](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNorthern+Nevada+Gold+Province "Northern Nevada Gold Province (Northern Nevada Gold Province, Theme, None)") - [apparent resistivity](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dapparent+resistivity "apparent resistivity (apparent resistivity, Theme, None)") - [aquifer](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Daquifer "aquifer (aquifer, Theme, None)") - [geoscientificinformation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dgeoscientificinformation "geoscientificinformation (geoscientificinformation, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [impedance](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dimpedance "impedance (impedance, Theme, None)") - [impedance phase](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dimpedance+phase "impedance phase (impedance phase, Theme, None)") - [impedance strike](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dimpedance+strike "impedance strike (impedance strike, Theme, None)") - [magnetotelluric](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmagnetotelluric "magnetotelluric (magnetotelluric, Theme, None)") - [sounding](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dsounding "sounding (sounding, Theme, None)") - [suture zone](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dsuture+zone "suture zone (suture zone, Theme, None)") - [tipper](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dtipper "tipper (tipper, Theme, None)") Place - [Elko County](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DElko+County "Elko County (Elko County, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Montello](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMontello "Montello (Montello, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Nevada](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNevada "Nevada (Nevada, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Oasis](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DOasis "Oasis (Oasis, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Wells](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWells "Wells (Wells, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Wilkins](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWilkins "Wilkins (Wilkins, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") Types - [Citation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DCitation "Citation") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Two sorts of TF are provided for most sites. All of the TFs provide input data for subsequent MT inversion and interpretation. They are estimated from the raw EM time series by (a) Fourier transforming data in a series of short overlapping time windows, and (b) applying robust regression methods to the resulting sequence of Fourier coefficients. For remote reference estimates data from a second site are used for noise cancellation, and to reduce bias due to noise in the predicting magnetic channels. Apparent resistivities and phases, which can be computed from the off-diagonal components of the impedance tensors, are frequently used in 2D interpretations. The EMTF data product includes estimates of the TFs for a range of periods (which may vary, depending on instrumentation and deployment time), as well as estimation error covariances.\nFor more information on the EDI data format:\nWight, D.E., 1988, MT/EMAP Data Interchange Standard, Technical standards committee report, Society of Exploration Geophysicists, isbn=9780931830617, http://www.seg.org/documents/10161/77915/seg_mt_emap_1987.pdf.\nThis report can be downloaded for free from the Society of Exploration Geophysics (SEG) Technical Standards website, http://seg.org/Publications/SEG-Technical-Standards.\nThese metadata document the full suite of MT data for this site and includes the files below.

The vertical accuracy varies across the U.S. as a result of differences in source DEM quality, terrain relief, land cover, and other factors.</vertaccr>\n </vertacc>\n </posacc>\n <lineage>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Acquire multiple high frequency time series files (TS1 file extension) and convert to intermediate spectra cross power files (BP1 file extension)</procdesc>\n <procdate>20050712</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Acquire multiple mid frequency time series files (TS2 file extension) and convert to intermediate spectra cross power files (BP2 file extension)</procdesc>\n <procdate>20050712</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Acquire multiple low frequency time series files (TS3 file extension) and convert to intermediate spectra cross power files (BP3 file extension)</procdesc>\n <procdate>20050712</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Combine multiple frequency band (high, mid, low) BP cross power files into a single cross power file (AVG file extension)</procdesc>\n <procdate>20050712</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Convert cross power AVG file to spectra edi file</procdesc>\n <procdate>20170912</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Rotate data to geographic north and convert spectra edi file to GeotoolsMT Transfer Function dump file</procdesc>\n <procdate>20170912</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Mine AVG, spectra edi, and dump file to create Transfer Function edi file</procdesc>\n <procdate>20170919</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Point</direct>\n <ptvctinf>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>Entity point</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>1</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n </ptvctinf>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <geograph>\n <latres>0.0196481178</latres>\n <longres>0.0409100603</longres>\n <geogunit>Decimal degrees</geogunit>\n </geograph>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>NAD27 CONUS</horizdn>\n <ellips>Clarke 1866</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378206.4</semiaxis>\n <denflat>294.9786982</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Text File BF4-9710.RSP</enttypl>\n <enttypd>System Calibration File</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Electromagnetic Instruments (EMI)</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Freq</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Frequency - Hz</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Frequency - Hz</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Amp</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Amplitude - Volts/Gamma</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Amplitude - Volts/Gamma</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Phz</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Phase - Degrees</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Phase - Degrees</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n </detailed>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Text File BF4-9705.RSP</enttypl>\n <enttypd>System Calibration File</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Electromagnetic Instruments (EMI)</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Freq</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Frequency - Hz</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Frequency - Hz</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Amp</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Amplitude - Volts/Gamma</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Amplitude - Volts/Gamma</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Phz</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Phase - Degrees</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Phase - Degrees</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n </detailed>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Text File BF7-9609.RSP</enttypl>\n <enttypd>System Calibration File</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Electromagnetic Instruments (EMI)</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Freq</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Frequency - Hz</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Frequency - Hz</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Amp</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Amplitude - Volts/Gamma</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Amplitude - Volts/Gamma</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Phz</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Phase - Degrees</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Phase - Degrees</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n </detailed>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Text File EF-9608X.RSP</enttypl>\n <enttypd>System Calibration File listing 4 columns of amplitude and phase for each of the 4 possible instrument gains (10dB, 20dB, 30dB, 40dB)</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Electromagnetic Instruments (EMI)</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Freq</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Frequency - Hz</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Frequency - Hz</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Amp</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Amplitude - unitless.

This plan aimed to restore, enhance, and maintain the Kootenai River habitat and landscape to support and sustain habitat conditions for aquatic species and animal populations. In support of these restoration efforts, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, conducted high-resolution multibeam echosounder bathymetric surveys as a baseline bathymetric monitoring survey on the Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Three channel patterns or reaches exist in the study area: braided, meander, and a transitional zone connecting the braided and meander reaches. Bathymetric data were collected to: (1) survey unmapped portions of the Kootenai River; (2) re-survey portions of the Kootenai River to quantify changes in the channel; and (3) monitor aggradation and degradation of the channel bed at specific cross-sections within the braided reach and transitional zone. The bathymetric data will be used to update and verify flow models, calibrate and verify sediment transport modeling efforts, and aid in the biological assessment in support of the Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Master Plan. The data for each study reach were produced in LAZ format supported by most geospatial software.

The data describe pre- and post-freshet bathymetric conditions when funding and flow conditions allowed. The cross-section surveys include the full width of the water surface except for extreme shallow areas along banks. For the bridge surveys, the channel bed in the vicinity of the two Straight Reach bridges (US Hwy 95 and Union Pacific RR) were surveyed and include the area beneath the bridge deck as well as a buffer zone greater than or equal to 100 ft upstream and downstream of each structure. ## Preview Image  ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5cacd94fe4b0c3b006529d56) [](/catalog/item/imap/5cacd94fe4b0c3b006529d56) ## Communities - USGS Idaho Water Science Center ## Tags Theme - [ASCII](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DASCII "ASCII (ASCII, Theme, None)") - [Bathymetry](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBathymetry "Bathymetry (Bathymetry, Theme, None)") - [Geology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGeology "Geology (Geology, Theme, None)") - [Hypack](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHypack "Hypack (Hypack, Theme, None)") - [Hysweep](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHysweep "Hysweep (Hysweep, Theme, None)") - [Multibeam](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMultibeam "Multibeam (Multibeam, Theme, None)") - [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DU.S.+Geological+Survey "U.S. Geological Survey (U.S. Geological Survey, Theme, None)") - [USGS](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS "USGS (USGS, Theme, None)") - [Water Depth](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWater+Depth "Water Depth (Water Depth, Theme, None)") - [XYZ](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DXYZ "XYZ (XYZ, Theme, None)") - [elevation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Delevation "elevation (elevation, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [inlandWaters](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DinlandWaters "inlandWaters (inlandWaters, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [inlandWaters](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DinlandWaters "inlandWaters (inlandWaters, Theme, None)") - [swath bathymetry](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dswath+bathymetry "swath bathymetry (swath bathymetry, Theme, None)") - [topography](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dtopography "topography (topography, Theme, None)") Place - [Bonners Ferry](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBonners+Ferry "Bonners Ferry (Bonners Ferry, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [ID](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DID "ID (ID, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Idaho](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DIdaho "Idaho (Idaho, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Kootenai River](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DKootenai+River "Kootenai River (Kootenai River, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [USA](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSA "USA (USA, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly Revision 4.0 by T.J Dudunake on January 5, 2023.

This plan aimed to restore, enhance, and maintain the Kootenai River habitat and landscape to support and sustain habitat conditions for aquatic species and animal populations. In support of these restoration efforts, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, conducted high-resolution multibeam echosounder bathymetric surveys as a baseline bathymetric monitoring survey on the Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Three channel patterns or reaches exist in the study area: braided, meander, and a transitional zone connecting the braided and meander reaches. Bathymetric data were collected to: (1) survey unmapped portions of the Kootenai River; (2) re-survey portions of the Kootenai River to quantify changes in the channel; and (3) monitor aggradation and degradation of the channel bed at specific cross-sections within the braided reach and transitional zone. The bathymetric data will be used to update and verify flow models, calibrate and verify sediment transport modeling efforts, and aid in the biological assessment in support of the Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Master Plan. The data for each study reach were produced in LAZ format supported by most geospatial software. \nFirst release: December 2019 \nRevised: January 2023 (ver. 4.0)</abstract>\n <purpose>Cross-section bathymetry data were obtained along cross-sections by navigating the survey vessel across the channel to monitor aggradation and degradation of the channel bed to support on-going river restoration efforts in the braided reach. The data describe pre- and post-freshet bathymetric conditions when funding and flow conditions allowed. The cross-section surveys include the full width of the water surface except for extreme shallow areas along banks. For the bridge surveys, the channel bed in the vicinity of the two Straight Reach bridges (US Hwy 95 and Union Pacific RR) were surveyed and include the area beneath the bridge deck as well as a buffer zone greater than or equal to 100 ft upstream and downstream of each structure.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20090611</begdate>\n <enddate>20220601</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>As needed</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-116.33019144</westbc>\n <eastbc>-116.19549121</eastbc>\n <northbc>48.71140230</northbc>\n <southbc>48.69294092</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>elevation</themekey>\n <themekey>location</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>topography</themekey>\n <themekey>bathymetry</themekey>\n <themekey>bathymetry measurement</themekey>\n <themekey>GPS measurement</themekey>\n <themekey>land surveying</themekey>\n <themekey>Multibeam sonar</themekey>\n <themekey>lidar</themekey>\n <themekey>digital elevation models</themekey>\n <themekey>spatial analysis</themekey>\n <themekey>geospatial analysis</themekey>\n <themekey>contouring</themekey>\n <themekey>geospatial datasets</themekey>\n <themekey>topographic maps</themekey>\n <themekey>sedimentation</themekey>\n <themekey>erosion</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>none</themekt>\n <themekey>Hypack</themekey>\n <themekey>Hysweep</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5cacd94fe4b0c3b006529d56</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>Pacific Northwest</placekey>\n <placekey>Kootenai-Pend Oreille-Spokane</placekey>\n <placekey>Kootenai</placekey>\n <placekey>Boundary</placekey>\n <placekey>Idaho</placekey>\n <placekey>Bonners Ferry</placekey>\n <placekey>United States</placekey>\n </place>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)</placekt>\n <placekey>USA</placekey>\n <placekey>Canada</placekey>\n <placekey>Kootenai River</placekey>\n <placekey>Kootenay River</placekey>\n <placekey>Idaho</placekey>\n <placekey>ID</placekey>\n <placekey>British Columbia</placekey>\n <placekey>Bonners Ferry</placekey>\n <placekey>Creston</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None</accconst>\n <useconst>These data are not intended for navigational purposes.

Qualitative notes documenting anything that might affect the quality of the data, such as wave action, macrophyte growth, poor GPS quality, and any other observation that could degrade the bathymetric data were recorded in the daily field log. Prior to and during the survey, unique tasks were conducted at specified intervals to prepare the MBE system for bathymetric surveying, but also to describe the total estimated error within the system. Quality-assurance elements were developed following the input requirements of the Total Propagated Uncertainty (TPU) feature built into Hypack software. The TPU required a description of the general, environmental, and sensor settings to best estimate the total error potential in the survey data. Daily checks were made to ensure the GPS elevation by the MBES was verified with local horizontal and vertical benchmark data. Physical offsets were measured to reflect the correct geometric alignment of the equipment and to ensure proper translation for the MBES data solutions. A patch test ensured the MBE system was correctly offset and calibrated. The offsets from the patch test were applied to the system prior to the surveys on the Kootenai River. After the last survey, a performance test (also referred to as a beam angle check) provided quality control by quantifying the accuracy of the MBE. The performance test compared a set of standard survey data against a known reference surface. The performance test for the Kootenai River bathymetric surveys was conducted downstream from the Tribal Hatchery boat dock on the Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID. The output from the performance test includes a summary of how the accuracy of the X,Y, and Z data are distributed through the swath of the MBE. Data uncertainty generally increases with beam angle (from the center (NADIR) beam). A complete description of the process used for quality control and quality assurance is provided in Fosness (2013).</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>The braided reach cross-section monitoring survey included two survey periods, the ascending limb of the high spring flows and/or the descending limb of the high spring flows when funding and flow conditions allowed.</logic>\n <complete>Edited raw data are presented in a LAZ (a compressed version of LAS) format in the most raw form so that it can be used in various types of geospatial software applications. Gaps may exist in the coverage due to erroneous data spikes, macrophyte growth, in-stream hazards (submerged trees), or non-kinematic positioning.

A Hemisphere\xe2\x84\xa2 VS110 heading and position receiver using two GPS antennas mounted over the echo sounder transducer provided a precise heading. A more detailed description of the equipment used for the bathymetric survey is described in Fosness (2013). Horizontal and vertical positioning was accomplished using an RTK-GPS receiver mounted directly above the MBES and radio linked to a static base-station receiver using a GPS antenna positioned over one of the three temporary benchmarks. A real-time network (RTN) was used for position corrections when cellphone coverage was available. Bathymetry data were collected using HYPACK\xc2\xae software\xe2\x80\x99s HYSWEEP\xc2\xae Survey (HYPACK, Inc., 2022). Starting in 2020, bathymetric data were collected using a WBMS (wide-band multibeam sonar) system. This system consists of a multibeam echosounder, an inertial navigation system (INS), and data acquisition computer. The echosounding component was a 400 kHz Norbit integrated wideband multibeam system (iWBMS) capable of projecting 512 beams spanning a max of 210 degree swath (width of coverage) and beam widths of only 0.9 degrees. An Applanix based inertial navigation system accounted for heave, pitch, and roll of the vessel. One AML Oceanographic Base-X sound velocity probe (velocimeters) was used to profile the speed of sound underwater. One velocimeter was mounted and operated real-time near the MBES to account for spatial change in the surface speed of underwater sound. Two Trimble 540AP antenna GPS receivers mounted over the MBES was linked to a base station to provide real-time horizontal and vertical positioning. These data were transmitted via Ethernet data link to and from a small sonar interface unit (SIU) to transmit control commands to the sonar, receive the sonar records, and receive heading data for the iWBMS. Bathymetric data were collected using HYPACK\xc2\xae software\xe2\x80\x99s HYSWEEP\xc2\xae Survey or Norbit Data Collection Tool (DCT) along cross-sections by navigating the survey vessel across the channel.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20220612</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The raw data were then edited using Hypack MBMAX software. All raw data were initially filtered to exclude the outer multibeam swath soundings to remove erroneous data. These data were out of tolerance and therefore excluded from the final data. Areas of missing data occurred within the dataset due to erroneous data spikes, macrophyte growth, submerged debris, or non-kinematic positioning. The data were reduced to the median value and output with a data density of 1 point per square foot.

The bivalves Corbicula fluminea and Potamocorbula amurensis (hereafter Corbicula and Potamocorbula, respectively) have been shown to control phytoplankton biomass in several locations throughout the system, and their distribution and population dynamics are therefore of great interest.

The bivalves Corbicula fluminea and Potamocorbula amurensis (hereafter Corbicula and Potamocorbula, respectively) have been shown to control phytoplankton biomass in several locations throughout the system, and their distribution and population dynamics are therefore of great interest. As one element of the Department of Water Resources' (DWR) and the Bureau of Reclamation’s (BOR) Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP), the benthic monitoring program examines the impact of water project operations on the estuary as prescribed by a series of Water Rights Decisions mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). These impacts are determined by changes in benthic fauna presence, abundance and distribution of the benthos associated with physical factors in the estuary, and the detection of newly introduced species in the estuary. ## Contacts Originator : [Emily L Zierdt Smith](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=75312), [Francis Parchaso](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=7849), [Janet K McHendrie](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10361) Point of Contact : [Emily L Zierdt Smith](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=75312) Metadata Contact : [Emily L Zierdt Smith](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=75312) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=64247) SDC Data Owner : [Office of the Chief Operating Officer](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=77215) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey -

These data support the Department of Water Resources' and the Bureau of Reclamation\xe2\x80\x99s Environmental Monitoring Program's (EMP) Benthic Monitoring program.</purpose>\n <supplinf>Phytoplankton is an important and limiting food source in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and San Francisco Bay; the decline of phytoplankton biomass is one possible factor in the pelagic organism decline and specifically in the decline of the protected delta smelt. The bivalves Corbicula fluminea and Potamocorbula amurensis have been shown to control phytoplankton biomass in several locations throughout the system, and their distribution and population dynamics are therefore of great interest. As one element of the Department of Water Resources' (DWR) and the Bureau of Reclamation\xe2\x80\x99s (BOR) Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP), the benthic monitoring program examines the impact of water project operations on the estuary as prescribed by a series of Water Rights Decisions mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). These impacts are determined by changes in benthic fauna presence, abundance and distribution of the benthos associated with physical factors in the estuary, and the detection of newly introduced species in the estuary.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>2014</begdate>\n <enddate>2019</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>As needed</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-122.3906</westbc>\n <eastbc>-121.3799</eastbc>\n <northbc>38.1547</northbc>\n <southbc>37.8271</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and North San Francisco Bay, California</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>bivalve</themekey>\n <themekey>benthic ecosystems</themekey>\n <themekey>benthic ecology</themekey>\n <themekey>community ecology</themekey>\n <themekey>spatial monitoring</themekey>\n <themekey>temporal monitoring</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB)</themekt>\n <themekey>bivalves</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>biota</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:601e027dd34e94a4b9fc307f</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)</placekt>\n <placekey>California</placekey>\n <placekey>Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta</placekey>\n <placekey>San Francisco Bay</placekey>\n <placekey>San Pablo Bay</placekey>\n <placekey>Suisun Bay</placekey>\n </place>\n <stratum>\n <stratkt>Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB)</stratkt>\n <stratkey>benthos</stratkey>\n <stratkey>bivalves</stratkey>\n </stratum>\n <temporal>\n <tempkt>USGS Thesaurus</tempkt>\n <tempkey>time periods</tempkey>\n <tempkey>seasons</tempkey>\n </temporal>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>none</accconst>\n <useconst>none</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Emily L Zierdt Smith</cntper>\n <cntorg>WMA: Earth System Processes Division</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Biologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>Mail Stop 496, 345 Middlefield Road</address>\n <city>Menlo Park</city>\n <state>CA</state>\n <postal>94025</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>650-329-4574</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\n <datacred>California Department of Water Resources, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and Interagency Ecological Program</datacred>\n <crossref>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Crauder, Jeff S.</origin>\n <origin>Thompson, Janet K.</origin>\n <origin>Parchaso, Francis</origin>\n <origin>Anduaga, Rosa I.</origin>\n <origin>Pearson, Sarah A.</origin>\n <origin>Gehrts, Karen</origin>\n <origin>Fuller, Heather</origin>\n <origin>Wells, Elizabeth</origin>\n <pubdate>2016</pubdate>\n <title>Bivalve effects on the food web supporting delta smelt\xe2\x80\x94A long-term study of bivalve recruitment, biomass, and grazing rate patterns with varying freshwater outflow</title>\n <geoform>ONLINE_REFERENCE</geoform>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>Reston, VA</pubplace>\n <publish>U.S. Geological Survey</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <onlink>https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20161005</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </crossref>\n <taxonomy>\n <keywtax>\n <taxonkt>USGS Biocomplexity Thesaurus</taxonkt>\n <taxonkey>Bivalves</taxonkey>\n </keywtax>\n <taxonsys>\n <classsys>\n <classcit>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)</origin>\n <pubdate>2021</pubdate>\n <title>Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)</title>\n <geoform>ONLINE_REFERENCE</geoform>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>Washington, D.C.</pubplace>\n <publish>Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS)</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <onlink>http://itis.gov</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </classcit>\n </classsys>\n <ider>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Wayne Fields</cntper>\n <cntorg>Hydrozoology</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Taxonomist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>PO Box 682</address>\n <city>Newcastle</city>\n <state>CA</state>\n <postal>95658</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>(916) 663-1900</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ider>\n <taxonpro>identification keys;;specimen processing</taxonpro>\n <taxoncom>Our identifications were comprehensive and detailed.

Samples were collected by the DWR using a 0.052m2 Ponar dredge. At all sites, DWR collected four samples for species identification and an extra sample to determine the monthly length-to-weight (ash-free dry weight, [AFDW]) relationship of the bivalve species. Samples were screened through a 0.5mm screen, preserved in 10-percent buffered formalin, and transferred to 70-percent ethyl alcohol with rose bengal dye. \n\nThe USGS Benthic Laboratory in Menlo Park received sorted samples from DWR after their routine laboratory analyses were completed. Bivalves were enumerated and measured. Biomass estimates were based on relationships between shell length and dry tissue weight that were calculated by the USGS using the standard techniques. U.S. Geological Survey personnel measured the bivalves to the nearest mm using calipers and have been using this technique for over 20 years. Biomass, grazing rate, filtration rate, recruitment values were calculated using methods described in the literature.</methdesc>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Stevens Jr, D. L., &amp; Olsen, A.

The BIISC ROD crew (Bill Buckley, Dustin Swan, Kristen Hofer, Samantha Buechner, Chevy Coelho, and Jorden Zarders) conducted all management efforts. Kevin Brink assisted with statistical advice and Sheri Smith from USDA-Forest Service provided technical advice and beetle traps. Significant funding for the collection, management and synthesis of these climate data was provided by the National Science Foundation EPSCoR program, the USDA Forest Service, the University of Hawaii, and the USGS Pacific Climate Science Center. The project was funded in part by the U.S. Geological Survey Natural Resource Protection Program, the U.S. Department of Interior and U.S. Department of Agriculture joint Service First Program, and the U.S. Geological Survey Ecosystems Mission Area.</datacred>\n <native>Windows 7 Enterprise, Excel 2013</native>\n <taxonomy>\n <keywtax>\n <taxonkt>None</taxonkt>\n <taxonkey>Ceratocystis</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Metrosideros polymorpha</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Xyleborus</taxonkey>\n </keywtax>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Domain</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Eukaryota</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Kingdom</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Fungi</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subkingdom</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Dikarya</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Division</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Ascomycota</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subdivision</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Pezizomycotina</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Class</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Sordariomycetes</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subclass</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Sordariomycetidae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Order</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Ophiostomatales</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Family</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Ophiostomataceae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Genus</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Ceratocystis</taxonrv>\n <common>TSN: 181740</common>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Kingdom</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Plantae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subkingdom</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Viridiplantae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Infrakingdom</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Streptophyta</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Superdivision</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Embryophyta</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Division</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Tracheophyta</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subdivision</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Spermatophytina</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Class</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Magnoliopsida</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Superorder</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Rosanae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Order</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Myrtales</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Family</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Myrtaceae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Genus</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Metrosideros</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Species</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Metrosideros polymorpha</taxonrv>\n <common>TSN: 27259</common>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Kingdom</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Animalia</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subkingdom</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Bilateria</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Infrakingdom</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Protostomia</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Superphylum</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Ecdysozoa</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Phylum</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Arthropoda</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subphylum</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Hexapoda</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Class</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Insecta</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subclass</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Pterygota</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Infraclass</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Neoptera</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Superorder</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Holometabola</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Order</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Coleoptera</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Suborder</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Polyphaga</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Infraorder</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Cucujiformia</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Superfamily</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Curculionoidea</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Family</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Curculionidae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subfamily</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Scolytinae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Genus</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Xyleborus</taxonrv>\n <common>TSN: 188139</common>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxoncl>\n </taxonomy>\n </idinfo>\n <dataqual>\n <attracc>\n <attraccr>Gallery entrances were checked for accuracy using a push-pin.</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>All data are logical.</logic>\n <complete>These data represent beetle gallery assessment on \xca\xbb\xc5\x8dhi\xca\xbba boles only within the study area.</complete>\n <posacc>\n <horizpa>\n <horizpar>NA</horizpar>\n </horizpa>\n <vertacc>\n <vertaccr>NA</vertaccr>\n </vertacc>\n </posacc>\n <lineage>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Nine \xca\xbb\xc5\x8dhi\xca\xbba trees in the "core" area of the ROD outbreak were felled by personnel from Big Island Invasive Species Committee and examined to determine vertical distribution of entrances to beetle galleries. Six trees were examined on December 15, 2017, 2-3 days after felling. An additional three trees were examined on January 19, 2018, 2-3 days after felling. We measured 1 meter from the base of each tree and then divided the main stem into one-meter long sections until the top of the tree was reached. The circumference of each one-meter section was measured at the midpoint of each section. Beginning at one meter above the base and continuing for every other section until the top of the tree, two, 0.25 m2 squares made from rope were randomly placed and the bark within that area was removed using a draw knife (Timber Tuff Tools, Miltona, MN). Gallery entrances were marked with a Sharpie permanent marker and counted within each 0.25 m2 square. Gallery entrances were defined as holes in which a push-pin could be inserted but not larger.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200529</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Kylle A Roy</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, NW-PACIFIC ISLAND REG</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Geneticist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>Bldg 344 Chain of Craters Rd.</address>\n <city>Hawaii National Park</city>\n <state>HI</state>\n <postal>96718</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>808-985-6437</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>808-967-8568</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>WaipunaleiGalleryEntranceAssesment.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Comma Separated Value (CSV) file containing beetle gallery entrance data.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer Defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Date_Sampled</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>The date each tree was surveyed.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>12/15/2017</rdommin>\n <rdommax>01/19/2018</rdommax>\n <attrunit>mm/dd/yyyy</attrunit>\n <attrmres>1</attrmres>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Tree_ID</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>The specific identification number assigned to each tree used in the study area.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>1</rdommin>\n <rdommax>9</rdommax>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>SurveyAreaHeight(m)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>The height of the \xca\xbb\xc5\x8dhi\xca\xbba bole surveyed.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>1</rdommin>\n <rdommax>17</rdommax>\n <attrunit>Meters</attrunit>\n <attrmres>1</attrmres>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>GalleyCountsQuadrat1</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Number of galleries observed within the first quadrat of each survey bole.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>0</rdommin>\n <rdommax>14</rdommax>\n <attrunit>Count</attrunit>\n <attrmres>1</attrmres>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>GalleryCountsQuadrat2</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Number of galleries observed within the second quadrat of each survey bole.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>&lt;&lt; empty cell &gt;&gt;</edomv>\n <edomvd>The circumference of the tree was not large enough for a second quadrat measurement.</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>0</rdommin>\n <rdommax>16</rdommax>\n <attrunit>Count</attrunit>\n <attrmres>1</attrmres>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>AverageGalleryCounts</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Average number of beetle galleries observed in first and second quadrat of each survey area.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>0.0</rdommin>\n <rdommax>15.0</rdommax>\n <attrunit>Count</attrunit>\n <attrmres>1</attrmres>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Circumference (cm)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>The circumference of each bole measured from its center.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>NA</edomv>\n <edomvd>Data are missing.</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>3.4</rdommin>\n <rdommax>50.0</rdommax>\n <attrunit>Centimeters</attrunit>\n <attrmres>1</attrmres>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n </detailed>\n <overview>\n <eaover>The entity and attribute information provided here describes the tabular data associated with the data set.

A valley segment was defined as a section of river that is relatively uniform in character. Valley segments may begin or end at a dam, a confluence with a major tributary, a widening of the river into a more lacustrine environment, or a change in surficial geology. After valley segments were delineated, each valley segment was divided into 600-meter long sites, with a minimum of 100 m between sites. Within each valley segment five sites were randomly chosen for sampling and if the segment could not accommodate five sites, all sites within the valley segment were sampled. As the goal was to characterize riverine habitat in the four study rivers, lacustrine sections of river were not sampled. In all, the 112 sampling sites included 27 sites along a 77-km length of the Grand River, 15 sites along a 31-km length of the Ganaraska River, 54 sites along a 165-km length of the Trent River, and 16 along a 36-km length of the Petawawa River. In this dataset, sites are numbered consecutively beginning with the upstream-most site and named with a GA, GD, T, or P (e.g. GA3, GD15, T36, P10, etc.) to indicate river. Valley segments are also numbered consecutively beginning with the upstream-most valley segment.\n\nOntario Integrated Hydrology Data Enhanced Watercourse (OIHD_EWC): Clipped (using Geoprocessing, Clip tool) the Ontario Integrated Hydrology Dataset Enhanced Watercourse with the appropriate river watershed outline, removing orphan line segments, and updating shape lengths as necessary.\n\nRIVER WATERSHED: Extracted from the Great Lakes Hydrology Dataset (Ganaraska, Grand, and Trent rivers) or the Quaternary watershed boundaries of Canada (Petawawa River)\n\nSITE CATCHMENTS: Catchment and valley variables for each site were developed with consistent procedures across sites and rivers. We delineated catchments (all areas that drain to a given location) for each site using the Hydrology toolset in the Spatial Analyst toolbox in ArcGIS 10.4.1 (ESRI, 2015) and the Ontario Integrated Hydrography Dataset (OIHD, OMNR 2012). Specifically catchments were defined by snapping sample sites as pour points, creating the flow accumulation grid, delineating watersheds (site locations were adjusted if necessary to snap to areas of highest flow accumulation), and, if necessary, simplifying edges of catchments. The spatial extents of the watershed outline (see above paragraph) will and should differ from the spatial extents of all study site catchments. The watershed outline includes the entire drainage area for the river while the site catchments include only the drainage area of the particular study site.</procdesc>\n <srcused>OIHD</srcused>\n <srcused>GLHD</srcused>\n <srcused>Quaternary watersheds</srcused>\n <procdate>20170501</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Beth L Sparks-Jackson</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, MIDWEST REGION</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Fisheries Biologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>1451 Green Rd</address>\n <city>Ann Arbor</city>\n <state>MI</state>\n <postal>48105</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>734-994-3331 ext 288</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <mapproj>\n <mapprojn>NAD 1983 Ontario MNR Lambert</mapprojn>\n <lambertc>\n <stdparll>44.5</stdparll>\n <stdparll>53.5</stdparll>\n <longcm>-85.0</longcm>\n <latprjo>0.0</latprjo>\n <feast>930000.0</feast>\n <fnorth>6430000.0</fnorth>\n </lambertc>\n </mapproj>\n <planci>\n <plance>coordinate pair</plance>\n <coordrep>\n <absres>0.000000008004996665533783</absres>\n <ordres>0.000000008004996665533783</ordres>\n </coordrep>\n <plandu>meters</plandu>\n </planci>\n </planar>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83)</horizdn>\n <ellips>Geodetic Reference System 1980</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.000000</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257222</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <overview>\n <eaover>The data tables associated with each shapefile varies.

The U.S. Geological Survey modeling framework is referred to as the Land Use and Carbon Scenario Simulator (LUCAS), which uses a state-and-transition simulation model coupled with a carbon stock-flow model. The model operates within an open source software environment (SyncroSim) to annually track changes in vegetation (i.e., cedar, maple-gum and pine-pocosin) and their corresponding carbon stocks. The modeled output for each scenario is provided in a tabular format (csv). ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Rachel Sleeter](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=9562) Originator : [Rachel Sleeter](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=9562) Metadata Contact : [Rachel Sleeter](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=9562) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) SDC Data Owner : [Observing Systems Division](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=77192) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/601de12bd34e94a4b9fc304b?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/601de12bd34e94a4b9fc304b?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/601de12bd34e94a4b9fc304b?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | GDS\_ModelParameters\_Output.xml<br>“Data Release Overview”<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 90.84 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Baseline\_Scenario\_Output.csv<br>“Model Output: Baseline Scenario” | | 8.88 KB | text/csv | | Drained\_Dry\_Scenario\_Output.csv<br>“Model Output: Drained-Dry Scenario” | | 9.37 KB | text/csv | | Flooded\_Wet\_Scenario\_Output.csv<br>“Model Output: Flooded-Wet Scenario” | | 8.54 KB | text/csv | | Baseline\_Scenario\_FlowPathways.csv<br>“Model Input Carbon Flow Pathways: Baseline Scenario” | | 19.08 KB | text/csv | | Baseline\_Scenario\_StateAttributes.csv<br>“Model Input Carbon Stocks: Baseline Scenario” | | 156.23 KB | text/csv | | Drained\_Dry\_Scenario\_FlowPathways.csv<br>“Model Input Carbon Flow Pathways: Drained-Dry Scenario” | | 19.83 KB | text/csv | | Drained\_Dry\_Scenario\_StateAttributes.csv<br>“Model Input Carbon Stocks: Drained-Dry Scenario” | | 156.23 KB | text/csv | | Flooded\_Wet\_Scenario\_FlowPathways.csv<br>“Model Input Carbon Flow Pathways: Flooded-Wet Scenario” | | 19.83 KB | text/csv | | Flooded\_Wet\_Scenario\_StateAttributes.csv<br>“Model Input Carbon Stocks: Flooded-Wet Scenario” | | 156.23 KB | text/csv | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Sleeter, R.R., 2021, Modeling the Impacts of Hydrology and Management on Carbon Balance at the Great Dismal Swamp, Virginia and North Carolina, USA: Geophysical Monograph Series, p. 385–400, https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119639305.ch21. | [https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119639305.ch21](https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119639305.ch21 "https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119639305.ch21") | ## Purpose The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a multi-year field study from the year 2014 to 2019 to estimate carbon storage, carbon flux, and annual soil carbon sequestration rates within various plant communities at the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (GDS). In order to demonstrate the relationships between the ecosystem dynamics observed and land management activities, an integrated modeling structure was developed. The U.S. Geological Survey also conducted a separate hydrologic assessment providing baseline and future water budget scenarios based on past climate conditions and different degrees of hydrologic management. Due to the strong correlation between hydrologic regime, (i.e., water table levels from seasonal climate and hydrologic management) and annual soil carbon flux, various model parameters related to water table depth and water-management strategies have been integrated into the ecosystem carbon balance model for the GDS. The added hydrologic component (i.e., grid-based water table levels under different scenarios) provides a wall-to-wall mechanism, or proxy variable, for scaling-up the U.S. Geological Survey carbon stock and flux field data to the entire swamp. To assess these dynamic relationships using in situ field observations paired with simulations of water table depth, we modeled and estimated the net ecosystem carbon balance at the GDS for a 100-year time period (2012 to 2112). These modeled estimates can be used to inform hydrologic management at the GDS National Wildlife Refuge. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/601de12bd34e94a4b9fc304b) [](/catalog/item/imap/601de12bd34e94a4b9fc304b) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ## Communities - LandCarbon - USGS Data Release Products ## Associated Items - _alternate_ [Great Dismal Swamp Project](/catalog/item/587fda95e4b085de6c11f5d1 "Great Dismal Swamp Project") - [View Associated Items](/catalog/itemLinks?itemId=601de12bd34e94a4b9fc304b) ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") Theme - [biota](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dbiota "biota (biota, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [carbon cycling](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dcarbon+cycling "carbon cycling (carbon cycling, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [ecosystem management](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Decosystem+management "ecosystem management (ecosystem management, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [environment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Denvironment "environment (environment, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [hydrology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dhydrology "hydrology (hydrology, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [peat](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dpeat "peat (peat, Theme, Lithologic classification of geologic map units)") - [scenarios](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dscenarios "scenarios (scenarios, Theme, None)") Place - [Great Dismal Swamp](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGreat+Dismal+Swamp "Great Dismal Swamp (Great Dismal Swamp, Place, None)") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Ecology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEcology "Ecology (Ecology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Geography](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGeography "Geography (Geography, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Hydrology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHydrology "Hydrology (Hydrology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Land Use Change](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLand+Use+Change "Land Use Change (Land Use Change, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Soil Sciences](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSoil+Sciences "Soil Sciences (Soil Sciences, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") Types - [Map Service](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DMap+Service "Map Service") - [OGC WFS Layer](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DOGC+WFS+Layer "OGC WFS Layer") - [OGC WMS Layer](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DOGC+WMS+Layer "OGC WMS Layer") - [OGC WMS Service](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DOGC+WMS+Service "OGC WMS Service") ## Provenance ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/P970W305 | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Simulations were run for 100 years on an annual time-step, representing future carbon storage conditions. Each simulation cell is defined by a unique set of state variables that characterize landscape conditions. For this model, the first state variable consists of three land-cover/vegetation types (state classes) intersected by two hydrologic zones (strata). The hydrologic zones depict a combination of climate and management conditions and are represented by a spatial grid, where every cell is defined by its WT-depth. The baseline, wet and dry scenarios are only representative of the resulting WT from precipitation. The Flooded/Wet and Drained/Dry scenarios demonstrate what the WT-depth would look like with management added. To convert these spatial grids into binary strata files (i.e., wet or dry cells) for the model, the cells that show inundation were set to \xe2\x80\x9c1\xe2\x80\x9d and the cells where WT-depth is below the land surface were set to \xe2\x80\x9c2\xe2\x80\x9d. The second state variable is the age of each cell. All cells with state variables that are associated with forest vegetation are assigned an age (i.e., how old the tree is), which is tracked in annual time-steps for the duration of the model simulation. \nTransitions are used in the model to signify conversions from one state class to another within an annual time-step. Transition pathways are defined as probabilistic conversions simulated within the model. The transition pathways we identify are alternative succession, fire, large storms (e.g., hurricanes), and management actions. Fire is parameterized by using severity (high, medium, low), frequency, and size. These attributes are linked to a historic distribution of all fires that occurred in the GDS, and the relative attributes. When the model runs, each simulation year randomly determines if there was a fire, with size and severity attached, or no fire, from the historic distribution. Alternative succession parameters characterize vegetation regeneration in the event of tree mortality, fire, or tree blow-down from a windstorm. In disturbed conditions, native species like cedar have a lower probability of natural regeneration and are likely to transition to maple-gum.</procdesc>\n <srcused>Historic Simulation of Carbon Balance at the GDS - Data Release</srcused>\n <srcused>Journal Article - Historic Simulation of Carbon Balance at the GDS</srcused>\n <procdate>2020</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The carbon stock-flow model runs in tandem with the state-and-transition model to track annual growth (net primary productivity (NPP) of above and belowground live biomass), litterfall (annual flux of leaf litter and dead root), mortality (annual mortality rate for trees), humification (annual flux for above and belowground dead biomass transferring to soil), peat accumulation (annual flux for carbon burial from upper peat to deep peat), leaching (lateral flux from upper peat to the aquatic pool) and emissions (annual flux of carbon to the atmosphere from leaf litter, deadwood, dead root, and upper peat 0 \xe2\x80\x93 40 cm). The carbon stock-flow model starts with an initial stock amount for each biomass pool and tracks the stock-change as measurement for each simulation cell using a gain-loss method. There is an annual flow rate, also referred to as annual flux, associated with each carbon \xe2\x80\x9cfrom-to\xe2\x80\x9d transfer (e.g., live tree to downed deadwood or upper peat to atmosphere). The examples given signify flow rates for mortality and emissions, respectively. Due to the hydrologic stratification of the landscape (e.g., wet and dry cells), and the use of proxy variables to represent carbon stock and flow rates by forest community to scale-up, we have two sets of flow rate parameters. The carbon stock types that have been identified and modeled for this application include live wood, live leaf, live root, deadwood, leaf litter, dead root, upper peat and deep peat. The two peat stocks, upper and deep peat, have different values for wet and dry conditions. There are thirty carbon flow types for each forest community, fifteen for wet cells and fifteen for dry cells. These carbon flow types include: Aboveground Leaf NPP, Aboveground Wood NPP, Belowground Root NPP, Leaf Litterfall, Mortality, Root Litterfall, Leaf Litter Humification, Deadwood Humification, Root Humification, Upper Peat to Deep Peat Burial, Leaching, Leaf Litter Emissions, Wood Litter Emissions, Dead Root Litter Emissions and Upper Peat Soil Emissions.</procdesc>\n <srcused>Historic

These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise. ## Contacts Contact : [Sara L Zeigler](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=65879) Originator : [Emily J Sturdivant](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70161), [Ben Gutierrez](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4035), [Kathryn M Weber](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11022), [Sara L Zeigler](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=65879) Publisher : [Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17230), [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5d0bc932e4b0941bde4fc615?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5d0bc932e4b0941bde4fc615?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5d0bc932e4b0941bde4fc615?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | FI12\_Development.shp.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 20.44 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | FI\_Development\_browse.png<br>“Example polygons depicting human development and coastal armoring at Fire Isl...” |  | 55.79 KB | image/png | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | FI12\_Development.CPG | | 5 Bytes | | FI12\_Development.dbf | | 549 Bytes | | FI12\_Development.prj | | 424 Bytes | | FI12\_Development.sbn | | 828 Bytes | | FI12\_Development.sbx | | 156 Bytes | | FI12\_Development.shp | | 119.92 KB | | FI12\_Development.shx | | 652 Bytes | Shapefile: FI12\_Development.zip ## Related External Resources Type: Publication that references this resource | | | | --- | --- | | Zeigler, S.L., Sturdivant, E.J., and Gutierrez, B.T., 2019, Evaluating barrier island characteristics and piping plover (Charadrius melodus) habitat availability along the U.S. Atlantic coast—Geospatial approaches and methodology: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2019–1071, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191071. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191071](https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191071 "https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191071") | | Zeigler, S.L., Gutierrez, B.T., Sturdivant, E.J., Catlin, D.H., Fraser, J.D., Hecht, A., Karpanty, S.M., Plant, N.G., and Thieler, E.R., 2019, Using a Bayesian network to understand the importance of coastal storms and undeveloped landscapes for the creation and maintenance of early successional habitat: PLoS ONE, v. 14, no. 7, e0209986, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0209986. | [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0209986](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0209986 "https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0209986") | Type: Source Code | | | | --- | --- | | Sturdivant, E.J., 2019, Bi-transect-extractor: U.S. Geological Survey software code, https://doi.org/10.5066/P915UYMY. | [https://doi.org/10.5066/P915UYMY](https://doi.org/10.5066/P915UYMY "https://doi.org/10.5066/P915UYMY") | ## Purpose The vector layer delineates areas of human development. Polygons were hand-digitized from 0.35-m aerial imagery captured in 2012 and outline areas of general human development (for example, buildings, residential development, paved roads) as well as coastal armoring (for example, jetties and groins). The data was used in vector format during a supervised land cover classification and converted to raster format to be merged with other land cover sub-classifications, producing the supervised classification raster layer (FI12\_SupClass.tif in larger work). This dataset is part of a series of spatial datasets used to describe characteristics of barrier islands found along the North American Atlantic coast in order to identify habitat for the federally protected piping plover (Charadrius melodus). Information contained in these spatial datasets was used within a Bayesian network to model the probability that a specific set of landscape characteristics would be associated with piping plover habitat (Zeigler and others 2019). ## Preview Image  Example polygons depicting human development and coastal armoring at Fire Isl... ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5d0bc932e4b0941bde4fc615) [](/catalog/item/imap/5d0bc932e4b0941bde4fc615) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ScienceBase WFS ## Communities -

The water-budget components in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of predevelopment conditions (1978–2007 rainfall and 1870 land cover), as described in USGS Scientific Investigations Report (USGS SIR) 2015-5164. The model was developed for estimating groundwater recharge and other water-budget components for each subarea of the model. The model-subarea dataset, consisting of 441,315 subareas (polygons), was generated using Esri ArcGIS software by intersecting (merging) multiple spatial datasets. Spatial datasets merged include those that characterize the spatial distribution of hydrologic and physical conditions (rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, reference evapotranspiration, direct runoff, soil type, and land cover) that the model uses to compute groundwater recharge and other water-budget components. Additional spatial datasets merged into the model-subarea dataset include those of select geographic features that assist in analyzing model results. The associated metadata file describes the process of merging these spatial datasets. The shapefile attribute information associated with each polygon present an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, septic-system leachate, runoff, canopy evaporation, actual evapotranspiration, storm-drain capture, net precipitation, total evapotranspiration, recharge, and seepage from reservoirs and cesspools. This shapefile also includes select geographic and land-cover attributes of the polygons. Brief descriptions of the water-budget components and attributes are included in the metadata file. Refer to USGS SIR 2015-5164 and USGS SIR 2015-5010 for further details of the methods and sources used to determine these components and attributes.

The water-budget components in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of predevelopment conditions (1978\xe2\x80\x932007 rainfall and 1870 land cover), as described in USGS Scientific Investigations Report (USGS SIR) 2015-5164. The model was developed for estimating groundwater recharge and other water-budget components for each subarea of the model. The model-subarea dataset, consisting of 441,315 subareas (polygons), was generated using Esri ArcGIS software by intersecting (merging) multiple spatial datasets. Spatial datasets merged include those that characterize the spatial distribution of hydrologic and physical conditions (rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, reference evapotranspiration, direct runoff, soil type, and land cover) that the model uses to compute groundwater recharge and other water-budget components. Additional spatial datasets merged into the model-subarea dataset include those of select geographic features that assist in analyzing model results. This metadata file describes the process of merging these spatial datasets. The shapefile attribute information associated with each polygon present an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, septic-system leachate, runoff, canopy evaporation, actual evapotranspiration, storm-drain capture, net precipitation, total evapotranspiration, recharge, and seepage from reservoirs and cesspools. This shapefile also includes select geographic and land-cover attributes of the polygons. Brief descriptions of the water-budget components and attributes are included in this metadata file. Refer to USGS SIR 2015-5164 and USGS SIR 2015-5010 for further details of the methods and sources used to determine these components and attributes.</abstract>\n <purpose>The water-budget components in this shapefile were determined as part of a study to estimate the spatial distribution of groundwater recharge on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, for a scenario representative of predevelopment conditions (1978\xe2\x80\x932007 rainfall and 1870 land cover), as described in USGS SIR 2015-5164. The recharge estimates may be used in numerical groundwater models that can evaluate the effects of groundwater withdrawals on groundwater levels, streamflow, coastal discharge, and salinities in public and private wells on Oahu.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>18700101</begdate>\n <enddate>20101231</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>publication date</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-158.282291463</westbc>\n <eastbc>-157.644933809</eastbc>\n <northbc>21.714009852</northbc>\n <southbc>21.253656969</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>irrigation</themekey>\n <themekey>groundwater recharge</themekey>\n <themekey>canopy evaporation</themekey>\n <themekey>rainfall</themekey>\n <themekey>evapotranspiration</themekey>\n <themekey>storm-drain capture</themekey>\n <themekey>runoff</themekey>\n <themekey>water-budget model</themekey>\n <themekey>fog interception</themekey>\n <themekey>soil-water balance</themekey>\n <themekey>Hawaii Volcanic Rock Aquifer Study</themekey>\n <themekey>Groundwater Resources Program</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5a2830dbe4b03852bafe13a5</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System</placekt>\n <placekey>Hawaii</placekey>\n <placekey>Oahu</placekey>\n <placekey>Pacific islands</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Type map (U.S. Geological Survey, 2010a). Modifications to the LANDFIRE map included converting it from a raster dataset to a vector dataset, combining similar land-cover classes, and adding boundaries of golf courses and selected crops. Further details on the development of this 2010 land-cover map are in USGS SIR 2015-5010; (2) a shapefile converted from a raster grid that provides the spatial distribution of monthly rainfall totals during 1920\xe2\x80\x932007 (Frazier and others, 2016), mean monthly and mean annual rainfall (Giambelluca and others, 2013), and mean evapotranspiration and related parameters (Giambelluca and others, 2014); (3) a map of Thiessen polygons for estimating the spatial distribution of daily rainfall in the water-budget model (see fig. 3 in USGS SIR 2015-5010). Thiessen polygons were delineated around selected point features representing locations of rain gages. Locations of rain gages were determined from Giambelluca and others (2013); (4) a map of aspect (windward or leeward), drainage basins of stream-gaging stations selected for the runoff analysis, and catchment zones delineated by Rea and Skinner (2012) (see fig. 7 in USGS SIR 2015-5010); (5) a map of 500-ft. altitude intervals used to define the base of the fog zone at 2,000 ft. (see fig. 4 in USGS SIR 2015-5010); (6) a map defining the spatial distribution of seepage rates from cesspools and septic systems developed on the basis of septic-discharge rates to on-site disposal systems estimated by Whittier and El-Kadi (2009) for tax-map key parcels; (7) a map of soil units (Natural Resources Conservation Service, 2006); (8) a map of aquifer systems as defined by State of Hawaii (2010); (9) a map of areas where the top of the main basalt aquifer is above sea level (Engott and others, 2015); (10) a map of agricultural land cover in the Pearl Harbor area during 1900-10, 1920-29, 1930-39, 1940-49, 1950-59, 1960-69, 1970-74, 1975-79, 1980-84, 1985-89, 1990-94, and 1995-2000 from Oki (2005); (11) a map of mean annual pan evaporation digitized from Ekern and Chang (1985); (12) a map of areas subject to water-main leakage developed by generating 1-meter buffers around water mains 12 inches in diameter or larger on the water-main line-feature dataset (Honolulu Board of Water Supply, 2012); and (13) an 1870 land-cover map (see fig. 5 in SIR 2015-5164). Further details on the development of the 1870 land-cover map are in Appendix 1 of USGS SIR 2015-5164. One or more of the listed shapefiles may not be directly used for the water-budget scenario documented herein.

For this scenario, we estimated that only 14 percent of the area with taro land cover in our land-cover map was irrigated and cultivated (see the "Land-Cover Maps" section, in SIR 2015-5164). Owing to uncertainty in the locations of the portions of taro land that were irrigated, the taro-irrigation rate of 455 inches per year was multiplied by 0.14 and the result (63.7 inches per year) was applied uniformly to each subarea with taro land cover.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>0</rdommin>\n <rdommax>63.701</rdommax>\n <attrunit>inches</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Dir_RC</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Mean annual direct recharge, in inches.

For subareas with land covers other than taro, recharge was calculated on a daily basis as the residual of the water budget using the recharge-model equations in SIR 2015-5164. Mean annual values for water inflows (PNet + Irr) to the plant-root zone (which includes the soil) may not equal water outflows (Runoff + AE + Recharge) because of changes in soil-moisture storage and because of rounding and averaging of the model results. For subareas with taro land cover, recharge = Taro_irr * Taro_frac + Grass_rech * (1 - Taro_frac). Taro_irr is 455 inches per year and is the irrigation rate for taro, and Taro_frac is 0.14, which is the fraction of the subarea with irrigated taro. Grass_rech equals recharge computed for grassland land cover, which we assumed covered the remaining fraction (0.86, or 1 - Taro_frac) of the subarea without cultivated taro.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>0.103</rdommin>\n <rdommax>187.368</rdommax>\n <attrunit>inches</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n </detailed>\n <overview>\n <eaover>The entity and attribute information provided here describes the tabular data associated with the dataset.

Spatial information from the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (WSR) website was used to compare and improve these data as well. Additional information regarding river and outstanding remarkable value (ORV) descriptions were compiled from the WSR website and information regarding designation reaches, river management agencies, classifications, and ORV designations were compiled from USFS Segments data attribute information. This information was collected in order to track specific details concerning river designations and justify the representation of each river in the wsr\_nhdpv2.1 data. ## Contacts Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Originator : [Grace C Donovan](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=77784), [Alexandrea M.

For the purpose of assigning sequential numbers, the Wild and Scenic rivers are listed chronologically based on designation date. When more than one WSR was established on the same date, the rivers are listed alphabetically. 3. Each river can then be further subdivided into additional segments based on a change in classification. For consistency, the segments should be numbered from upstream to downstream a. The segment ID will use the following scheme when a segment is managed by a single agency: BLM: 1000 USFS: 2000 NPS: 3000 FWS: 4000 b.

These data were collected by the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) 1500H manufactured by ITRES Research Limited. The data were acquired from fixed wing aircraft and have spatial resolutions (pixel sizes) from 0.5 - 0.6 m. The data consist of a large number of spectral bands spanning the visible and near infrared wavelengths and have been radiometrically corrected. The image pixel values represent spectral radiance units of 1 uW cm-2 sr-1 nm-1, with a data multiplier (scale factor) of 1000.

Geoscience maps, regardless of target body, are spatial and temporal representations of materials and processes recorded on planetary surfaces (Varnes, 1973; Spencer, 2000). The information and context provided by these maps promote basic and applied research within and across various geoscience disciplines. They also provide an important basis for programmatic and policy decisions (for example, H.R. 2763 – 102nd Congress, National Geologic Mapping Act of 1992). Since 1961, planetary (that is, all solid surface bodies in the Solar System beyond Earth) geoscience maps have been used in nearly every facet of planetary exploration, from landing site characterization for human (for example, Grolier, 1970) and robotic (for example, Anderson and Bell, 2010) missions to mineralogical analyses of water-alteration on Mars (for example, Loizeau and others, 2007). Modern planetary geoscience maps are either standardized (those published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) that require adherence to cartographic standards, conventions, and principles) or non-standardized (those published by other venues that are not required to, but might, adhere to cartographic standards, conventions, and principles). Geoscience mapping and its resultant product, whether standardized or non-standardized, is widely considered a routine contextual investigation that should be performed in advance of and (or) in tandem with surface science investigations. Geoscience mapping campaigns are systematically included in mission proposals as anticipated derivative products (for example, Williams and others, 2014), along with other high-order cartographic data products such as controlled image mosaics and digital terrain models. Additionally, planning documents from multiple planetary science focused programs, organizations, and institutions identify geoscience maps as key scientific and technical contributors to planetary exploration (Planetary Decadal Survey, 2011; MEPAG, 2015; Roadmap to Ocean Worlds, 2018). In line with these community uses and priorities, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in cooperation with the USGS Astrogeology Science Center (Flagstaff, AZ), has built and maintained a non-trivial infrastructure dedicated not only to producing geoscience maps but also to building and disseminating mapping-based resources to the planetary science community. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [James A Skinner](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=James+A+Skinner), [U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Region](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey%2C+Southwest+Region) Originator : [James A.

Geoscience maps, regardless of target body, are spatial and temporal representations of materials and processes recorded on planetary surfaces (Varnes, 1973; Spencer, 2000). The information and context provided by these maps promote basic and applied research within and across various geoscience disciplines. They also provide an important basis for programmatic and policy decisions (for example, H.R. 2763 \xe2\x80\x93 102nd Congress, National Geologic Mapping Act of 1992). Since 1961, planetary (that is, all solid surface bodies in the Solar System beyond Earth) geoscience maps have been used in nearly every facet of planetary exploration, from landing site characterization for human (for example, Grolier, 1970) and robotic (for example, Anderson and Bell, 2010) missions to mineralogical analyses of water-alteration on Mars (for example, Loizeau and others, 2007). Modern planetary geoscience maps are either standardized (those published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) that require adherence to cartographic standards, conventions, and principles) or non-standardized (those published by other venues that are not required to, but might, adhere to cartographic standards, conventions, and principles). Geoscience mapping and its resultant product, whether standardized or non-standardized, is widely considered a routine contextual investigation that should be performed in advance of and (or) in tandem with surface science investigations. Geoscience mapping campaigns are systematically included in mission proposals as anticipated derivative products (for example, Williams and others, 2014), along with other high-order cartographic data products such as controlled image mosaics and digital terrain models. Additionally, planning documents from multiple planetary science focused programs, organizations, and institutions identify geoscience maps as key scientific and technical contributors to planetary exploration (Planetary Decadal Survey, 2011; MEPAG, 2015; Roadmap to Ocean Worlds, 2018). In line with these community uses and priorities, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in cooperation with the USGS Astrogeology Science Center (Flagstaff, AZ), has built and maintained a non-trivial infrastructure dedicated not only to producing geoscience maps but also to building and disseminating mapping-based resources to the planetary science community.</abstract>\n <purpose>As part of their charge to maintain and advocate for the construction and use of reliable planetary geoscience map products, and to assess the investment value placed in geoscience map products and processes, the USGS Planetary Mapping Group compiled and disseminated a survey of planetary geoscience makers and users. The resultant survey aimed to better understand the importance, relevance, and usability of planetary geoscience maps within the science community.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20170318</begdate>\n <enddate>20170525</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>observed</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-180.0000</westbc>\n <eastbc>180.0000</eastbc>\n <northbc>90.0000</northbc>\n <southbc>-90.0000</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>World</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>geoscientificInformation</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>Planetary Science</themekey>\n <themekey>Geology</themekey>\n <themekey>Astrogeology</themekey>\n <themekey>USGS</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5beb65dde4b0b3fc5cf90ed7</themekey>\n </theme>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>Public domain</accconst>\n <useconst>Pubic domain</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>James A Skinner</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Region</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Research Geologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>2255 North Gemini Drive</address>\n <city>Flagstaff</city>\n <state>AZ</state>\n <postal>86001-1637</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>928-556-7043</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>928-556-7014</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\n <datacred>This work was funded through the 2018 NASA-USGS Inter-Agency Agreement.</datacred>\n </idinfo>\n <dataqual>\n <attracc>\n <attraccr>All responses are captured in the survey results</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>Findings are recommendations are based directly on collated survey responses.</logic>\n <complete>Survey respondents were self-selected, from across the planetary science community, and attendants at major relevant science conferences.</complete>\n <lineage>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>N/A</procdesc>\n <procdate>20181114</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <distinfo>\n <distrib>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntorgp>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey</cntorg>\n <cntper>GS ScienceBase</cntper>\n </cntorgp>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>Denver Federal Center, Building 810, Mail Stop 302</address>\n <city>Denver</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80225</postal>\n <country>United States</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>1-888-275-8747</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </distrib>\n <distliab>Unless otherwise stated, all data, metadata and related materials are considered to satisfy the quality standards relative to the purpose for which the data were collected.

The projections were originally created as part of the "LandCarbon" project, an effort to understand biological carbon sequestration potential in the United States. However, the projections are being used for a wide variety of purposes, including analyses of the effects of landscape change on biodiversity, water quality, and regional weather and climate. The year 1992 served as the baseline for the landscape modeling. The 1992 to 2005 period was considered the historical baseline, with datasets such as the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), USGS Land Cover Trends, and US Department of Agriculture's Census \[...\] ## Summary The USGS’s FORE-SCE model was used to produce land-use and land-cover (LULC) projections for the conterminous United States. The projections were originally created as part of the "LandCarbon" project, an effort to understand biological carbon sequestration potential in the United States. However, the projections are being used for a wide variety of purposes, including analyses of the effects of landscape change on biodiversity, water quality, and regional weather and climate. The year 1992 served as the baseline for the landscape modeling. The 1992 to 2005 period was considered the historical baseline, with datasets such as the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), USGS Land Cover Trends, and US Department of Agriculture's Census of Agriculture used to guide the recreation of historical land cover for this period. 2006 to 2100 was considered the future projection time frame. Four scenarios were modeled for 2006 to 2100, corresponding to four major scenario storylines from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES). The global IPCC SRES (A1B, A2, B1, and B2 scenarios) were downscaled to ecoregions in the conterminous United States, with the USGS Forecasting Scenarios of land use (FORE-SCE) model used to produce landscape projections consistent with the IPCC SRES. The land-use scenarios focused on socioeconomic impacts on anthropogenic land use (demographics, energy use, agricultural economics, and other socioeconomic considerations). The projections provided here are characterized by: 1) 250-meter spatial resolution (250-m pixels) 2) 17 land-cover classes, similar to classes from NLCD 3) Annual land cover maps from 1992 to 2100 4) Spatial coverage for the entire conterminous United States 5) An additional "forest stand age" layer for both the historical period (1992-2005) and the projected period (2006-2100). These data mark age in years since last land-use change or disturbance for forest pixels. Data are provided here for 1) the historical 1992 to 2005 period, and 2) for each of the four scenarios from 2006 to 2100. 10 .zip files are available for download, 5 representing land-use and land-cover maps for both the historical period and the four future scenarios, and 5 representing forest stand age. Each zip file contains GeoTIFF files with annual maps for the given timeframe. The metadata associated with this data release provides a key for identifying file names associated with each of the .zip files, as well as definitions for the 17 land-cover classes.

The projections were originally created as part of the "LandCarbon" project, an effort to understand biological carbon sequestration potential in the United States. However, the projections are being used for a wide variety of purposes, including analyses of the effects of landscape change on biodiversity, water quality, and regional weather and climate. \n\nThe year 1992 served as the baseline for the landscape modeling. The 1992 to 2005 period was considered the historical baseline, with datasets such as the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), USGS Land Cover Trends, and US Department of Agriculture\'s Census of Agriculture used to guide the recreation of historical land cover for this period. 2006 to 2100 was considered the future projection time frame. Four scenarios were modeled for 2006 to 2100, corresponding to four major scenario storylines from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES). The global IPCC SRES (A1B, A2, B1, and B2 scenarios) were downscaled to ecoregions in the conterminous United States, with the USGS Forecasting Scenarios of land use (FORE-SCE) model used to produce landscape projections consistent with the IPCC SRES. The land-use scenarios focused on socioeconomic impacts on anthropogenic land use (demographics, energy use, agricultural economics, and other socioeconomic considerations). The projections provided here are characterized by: \n\n1) 250-meter spatial resolution (250-m pixels) \n2) 17 land-cover classes, similar to classes from NLCD \n3) Annual land cover maps from 1992 to 2100 \n4) Spatial coverage for the entire conterminous United States \n5) An additional "forest stand age" layer for both the historical period (1992-2005) and the projected period (2006-2100). These data mark age in years since last land-use change or disturbance for forest pixels. \n\nData are provided here for 1) the historical 1992 to 2005 period, and 2) for each of the four scenarios from 2006 to 2100. 10 .zip files are available for download, 5 representing land-use and land-cover maps for both the historical period and the four future scenarios, and 5 representing forest stand age. Each zip file contains GeoTIFF files with annual maps for the given timeframe. The metadata associated with this data release provides a key for identifying file names associated with each of the .zip files, as well as definitions for the 17 land-cover classes.</abstract>\n <purpose>The data were produced from the Forecasting Scenarios of land-use (FORE-SCE) model, for the purpose of facilitating research on interactions of land-use change with a host of societal and ecological processes.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>1992</begdate>\n <enddate>2100</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>Modeled time period</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-125.15167596785</westbc>\n <eastbc>-66.264957220208</eastbc>\n <northbc>49.000932513965</northbc>\n <southbc>23.673440501823</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS</themekey>\n <themekey>Land Cover</themekey>\n <themekey>Land Use</themekey>\n <themekey>Model</themekey>\n <themekey>CONUS</themekey>\n <themekey>Conterminous</themekey>\n <themekey>United States</themekey>\n <themekey>Scenario</themekey>\n <themekey>Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change</themekey>\n <themekey>IPCC</themekey>\n <themekey>Special Report on Emissions Scenarios</themekey>\n <themekey>SRES</themekey>\n <themekey>FORE-SCE</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5b96c2f9e4b0702d0e826f6d</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)</placekt>\n <placekey>Conterminous United States</placekey>\n <placekey>CONUS</placekey>\n <placekey>Lower 48</placekey>\n </place>\n <temporal>\n <tempkt>USGS Thesaurus</tempkt>\n <tempkey>Projected</tempkey>\n <tempkey>Scenario</tempkey>\n <tempkey>Future</tempkey>\n </temporal>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>none</accconst>\n <useconst>none</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Terry Sohl</cntper>\n <cntorg>United States Geological Survey - Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Research Physical Scientist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>47914 252nd Street</address>\n <city>Sioux Falls</city>\n <state>South Dakota</state>\n <postal>57198</postal>\n <country>United States</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>605-594-6537</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\n </idinfo>\n <dataqual>\n <attracc>\n <attraccr>For the historical time period (1992 to 2005), overall quantities of change very closely match mapped or measured quantities of historical land cover, as provided by a variety of sources (NLCD, USDA\'s Census of Agriculture, USGS Land Cover Trends project).

Several attributes (e.g. tree characteristics, evidence of animal herbivory, shrub cover) were sampled at each plot. All trees present within a plot were counted to determine density. All large trees (stems greater than/equal to 10 cm diameter) were sampled as were all small trees (stems less than 10 cm diameter). Small trees were also divided into two height classes (less than 2 m or greater than/equal to 2 m tall). All trees were identified to species, and all conifers were grouped for analyses. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [FRESC Science Data Coordinator](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=FRESC+Science+Data+Coordinator), [Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17476) Originator : [Susan K McIlroy](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Susan+K+McIlroy), [Douglas J Shinneman](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=50580) Metadata Contact : [FRESC Science Data Coordinator](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=FRESC+Science+Data+Coordinator), [Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17476) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey -

At each plot, data were collected within two parallel 2 m x 50 m belt transects that were generally spaced 20 m apart, except for 11 plots located in small or irregularly shaped aspen stands in which either only one transect or two shorter transects were used to avoid adjacent communities. For all trees present within the belt transects, species and condition (live/dead) were recorded, and each was classified into either a small (less than 10 cm) or large (greater than/equal to 10 cm) stem diameter size class, with the small diameter class further delineated as either less than 2 m or greater than/equal to 2 m in height. Browsing pressure at each plot was assessed by examining randomly selected aspen small stems (less than 10 cm diameter) that were less than 2 m tall along the transect(s) for browsed leaders (yes/no) and also by estimating density of animal fecal pellets (no./m2) by species.

The ratio between the concentrations of the two tracers is used to create a time-variable estimate of the concentration of each tracer in the fastflow end-member. Synthetic data from a groundwater dominated stream and an overland flow dominated stream were used to test the sensitivity of the model to various conditions and tracer concentrations. The sensitivity analysis provides understanding of the relation between the inputs and outputs of the model while providing information regarding its practicality and limitations. High-frequency nitrate and specific conductance data from Chesterville Branch, Maryland and Indian Creek, Kansas in 2013 were used to test the model under real-world conditions.

The model was applied to real data from two hydrologically different streams. Synthetic data were designed to test the precision and bias of the model against known values. The analysis of the synthetic data with various conditions of streamflow and tracer concentration provided information regarding the performance of the model, which aided in the interpretation of the results from the real data. This provides useful information for tracking chemical movement to streams and allows for better selection and implementation of water quality management strategies. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/576c1722e4b07657d1a26f60) [](/catalog/item/imap/576c1722e4b07657d1a26f60) ## Communities - Integrated Watershed Studies Team - National Water-Quality Assessment Project - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [Baseflow separation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBaseflow+separation "Baseflow separation (Baseflow separation, Theme, None)") - [Continuous data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DContinuous+data "Continuous data (Continuous data, Theme, None)") - [End-member mixing analysis](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEnd-member+mixing+analysis "End-member mixing analysis (End-member mixing analysis, Theme, None)") - [Groundwater transport](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGroundwater+transport "Groundwater transport (Groundwater transport, Theme, None)") - [High-frequency water quality data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHigh-frequency+water+quality+data "High-frequency water quality data (High-frequency water quality data, Theme, None)") - [Hydrograph separation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHydrograph+separation "Hydrograph separation (Hydrograph separation, Theme, None)") - [Modeling](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DModeling "Modeling (Modeling, Theme, None)") - [Overland flow](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DOverland+flow "Overland flow (Overland flow, Theme, None)") - [Streamflow](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DStreamflow "Streamflow (Streamflow, Theme, None)") - [Time-variable end-member concentration](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DTime-variable+end-member+concentration "Time-variable end-member concentration (Time-variable end-member concentration, Theme, None)") - [Water budgets](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWater+budgets "Water budgets (Water budgets, Theme, None)") Place - [Chesterville Branch, MD](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DChesterville+Branch%2C+MD "Chesterville Branch, MD (Chesterville Branch, MD, Place, None)") - [Indian Creek, KS](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DIndian+Creek%2C+KS "Indian Creek, KS (Indian Creek, KS, Place, None)") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Water Resources](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWater+Resources "Water Resources (Water Resources, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/F71R6NMQ | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

The ratio between the concentrations of the two tracers is used to create a time-variable estimate of the concentration of each tracer in the fastflow end-member. Synthetic data from a groundwater dominated stream and an overland flow dominated stream were used to test the sensitivity of the model to various conditions and tracer concentrations. The sensitivity analysis provides understanding of the relation between the inputs and outputs of the model while providing information regarding its practicality and limitations. High-frequency nitrate and specific conductance data from Chesterville Branch, Maryland and Indian Creek, Kansas in 2013 were used to test the model under real-world conditions. These data support the following publication: Kronholm, S.C. and Capel, P.D., 2016, Estimation of time-variable fast flow path chemical concentrations for application in tracer-based hydrograph separation analyses: Water Resour. Res., 52, 6881-6896, https://doi.org/10.1002/2016WR018797.</abstract>\n <purpose>Data sets were created to test the validity of the Two-tracer Ratio-based Mixing Model (TRaMM). The model was applied to real data from two hydrologically different streams. Synthetic data were designed to test the precision and bias of the model against known values. The analysis of the synthetic data with various conditions of streamflow and tracer concentration provided information regarding the performance of the model, which aided in the interpretation of the results from the real data. This provides useful information for tracking chemical movement to streams and allows for better selection and implementation of water quality management strategies.</purpose>\n <supplinf>In the Scenario data in this data release, tracer A could be any chemical such as nitrate (in milligrams per liter as nitrogen) and tracer B could be any chemical. When tracer B is specific conductance (in microsiemens per centimeter), it can be approximated as total dissolved solids (in milligrams per liter) by multiplying specific conductance (in microsiemens per centimeter) times 0.64.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20130401</begdate>\n <enddate>20130630</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>Not planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-94.60777778</westbc>\n <eastbc>-75.94013889</eastbc>\n <northbc>39.25706</northbc>\n <southbc>38.93833</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>Baseflow separation</themekey>\n <themekey>Continuous data</themekey>\n <themekey>End-member mixing analysis</themekey>\n <themekey>Groundwater transport</themekey>\n <themekey>High-frequency water quality data</themekey>\n <themekey>Hydrograph separation</themekey>\n <themekey>Modeling</themekey>\n <themekey>Overland flow</themekey>\n <themekey>Streamflow</themekey>\n <themekey>Time-variable end-member concentration</themekey>\n <themekey>Water budgets</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:576c1722e4b07657d1a26f60</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>None</placekt>\n <placekey>Chesterville Branch, MD</placekey>\n <placekey>Indian Creek, KS</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

We used 109 SercelTM L40A P-wave (40-Hz vertical-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 22.34 volts/meter/second to record 108 P-wave shots, and 109 SercelTM L28-LBH S-wave (4.5-Hz horizontal-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 31.3 volts/meter/second to record 108 S-wave shots. We generated P-wave data using one of two active sources depending on site accessibility: a 226-kg accelerated weight drop (AWD) and a 3.5-kg sledgehammer and steel plate combination. S-wave sources were generated by horizontally striking an aluminum block with a 3.5-kg sledgehammer. We acquired fault zone guided wave data by generating P- (AWD) and S-wave (angle AWD) energy approximately 225 m north of the P- and S-wave recording arrays. All data were recorded using two 60-channel Geometrics Stratavisor NX-60TM seismographs with a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter with a roll-along descaling factor (Subcommittee of the SEG Engineering and Groundwater Geophysics Committee, 1990); the seismographs were connected to the P- and S-wave geophones via refraction cables. Each shot was recorded for two seconds, with data recording starting 100 ms before the actual time of the shot. Data were recorded at a sampling rate of 0.5 ms, or 2000 samples per second. This report provides the metadata needed to utilize the seismic data.

Here a broad analysis is made of compositions from the U.S. Geological Survey Produced Waters Database (v2.3) and leachates (water, hydrochloric acid, artificial brine) for 12 energy-resource related shales from across the United States. The database illustrates common ranges for 26 elements in 4 produced water types and enhanced solubility with increasing ionic strength is observed for Al, Ba, Fe, Li, Mn, Rb, Sr, and possibly 11 other elements. Differences are observed between laboratory leachates and produced waters. Reasons for those differences include: (1) ionic strength effects and low ionic strength of some leachates relative to subsurface brines, (2) pH-sensitivity of constituents and leachate offsets from produced water pH values, (3) oxidative conditions and enhanced pyrite oxidation in leachates compared to subsurface conditions, (4) kinetic controls on reaction rates and insufficient durations for leaching experiments, (5) leachate water-rock ratios that are commonly 3 or 4 orders of magnitude greater than in the subsurface. The findings provide important context for interpreting produced water compositions and efforts to simulate them in the laboratory. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Aaron M Jubb](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=73218) Originator : [Mary R Croke](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=76748), [Carleton R Bern](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=41064), [Justin E Birdwell](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=15487), [Aaron M Jubb](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=73218), [Monique Adams](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=53), [Jessica C Chenault](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Jessica+C+Chenault) Metadata Contact : [Eric A Morrissey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=7209) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) USGS Mission Area : [Energy and Minerals](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Energy+and+Minerals) SDC Data Owner : [Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17290) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5f197b0d82cef313ed861060?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5f197b0d82cef313ed861060?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5f197b0d82cef313ed861060?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Product\_10.5066P98GUULU\_METADATA.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 126.19 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | DR\_Table\_brine\_leaches.csv | | 8.31 KB | text/csv | | DR\_Table\_HCl\_leaches.csv | | 7.95 KB | text/csv | | DR\_Table\_quantitative\_mineralogy.csv | | 742 Bytes | text/csv | | DR\_Table\_shale\_elemental\_composition.csv | | 4.42 KB | text/csv | | DR\_Table\_water\_leaches.csv | | 9.8 KB | text/csv | ## Purpose Data were collected in order to analyze leachates from 12 energy-resource related shales. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5f197b0d82cef313ed861060) [](/catalog/item/imap/5f197b0d82cef313ed861060) ## Communities - Geology, Energy & Minerals (GEM) Science Center - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [Energy resources](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEnergy+resources "Energy resources (Energy resources, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Leachates](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLeachates "Leachates (Leachates, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Produced waters](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DProduced+waters "Produced waters (Produced waters, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Shale resources](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DShale+resources "Shale resources (Shale resources, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Colorado](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DColorado "Colorado (Colorado, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:1:0:::::)") - [New York](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNew+York "New York (New York, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:1:0:::::)") - [North Dakota](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNorth+Dakota "North Dakota (North Dakota, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:1:0:::::)") - [Oklahoma](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DOklahoma "Oklahoma (Oklahoma, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:1:0:::::)") - [Texas](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DTexas "Texas (Texas, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:1:0:::::)") - [Utah](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUtah "Utah (Utah, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:1:0:::::)") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") ## Provenance Please see attached metadata record for full dataset provenance. ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/P98GUULU | | USGS\_ScienceCenter | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | Geology, Energy, and Minerals Science Center | | USGS\_MissionArea | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | Energy and Minerals | | USGS\_keywords | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | Energy Resources, Geochemistry | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

All analyzes were completed at the USGS contract lab using the sample analytical methods. Bedrock sample sites were chosen to provide comprehensive surficial bedrock chemistry within each watershed. Soil sample sites were selected by their proximity to bedrock sites, or to sample a range of glacial landscape features. Streambed sediment sample sites were selected in coordination with water quality sample sites and where surface mineralization was present. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Laurel G Woodruff](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11436) Originator : [Laurel G Woodruff](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11436) Metadata Contact : [Laurel G Woodruff](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11436) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) USGS Mission Area : [Energy and Minerals](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Energy+and+Minerals) SDC Data Owner : [Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17290) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5d2f40f3e4b038fabe24db02?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5d2f40f3e4b038fabe24db02?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5d2f40f3e4b038fabe24db02?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Geochemical\_characterization\_of\_solid\_media\_from\_three\_watersheds\_that\_transect\_the\_basal\_contact\_of\_the\_Duluth\_Complex\_northeastern\_Minnesota\_v2.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 130.92 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Streambed\_sediments.xlsx | | 28.94 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | Streambed\_sediments.csv | | 15.6 KB | text/csv | | Soil.xlsx | | 52.52 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | Soil.csv | | 35.12 KB | text/csv | | Bedrock.xlsx | | 26.45 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | Bedrock.csv | | 13.96 KB | text/csv | | Analytical\_methods\_LLD.xlsx | | 11.36 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | Analytical\_methods\_LLD.csv | | 3.02 KB | text/csv | | Figure1.jpg |  | 486.13 KB | image/jpeg | ## Purpose The purpose of this study was to document the influence of bedrock on regional water quality in areas of potential base-metal mining.

Under the QA umbrella, the components of standard operating procedures, instrument logs, training records, data acceptance/rejection criteria and laboratory audits are included. Unlike the unquantifiable QA element, the quality control (QC) element measures the accuracy and precision of the data produced by an analytical method. The accuracy and precision are established through the analysis of reference materials and sample replicates, respectively. Samples taken through the analytical process for inorganic constituents received QC checks on three separate levels. The first level of quality assurance involved QC assessment by the USGS contract laboratory, SGS. In the next level, QC is assessed by the USGS Mineral Resource Team QC officer, followed by a third-level assessment by the USGS principal investigator. The USGS contract laboratory SGS is accredited to the International Organization for Standardization Information Centre (ISO) 9002, 1994 standard (ANSI-RAB 01298 and NACB 9555), which includes both QA and QC protocols. The laboratory\'s QC protocol is to insert a reagent blank and a reference sample material with every batch of 20 samples to measure the analytical accuracy. All samples submitted to SGS are accompanied by a set of USGS in-house reference samples submitted at the rate of 10 percent. Using a program within the USGS Laboratory Information Management System, data for the reference samples are evaluated by comparing the "obtained" analytical value to the "expected" value for each element. The values must fall within the range of acceptance, which varies between \xc2\xb1 5 percent to \xc2\xb1 20 percent depending on the analytical method. The accuracy of elements determined by the ICP-MS/AES method are considered acceptable if recovery for all 42 elements is \xc2\xb115 percent at five times the Lower Limit of Determination (LLD) and the calculated Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) of duplicate samples no greater than 15 percent. The accuracy for As, Hg, and Se single element analyses are considered acceptable if recovery is \xc2\xb1 20 percent at five times the LLD and the calculated percent RSD of duplicate samples no greater than 20 percent. Total and carbonate carbon are deemed acceptable if recovery is \xc2\xb115 percent at five times the LLD and the calculated percent RSD of duplicate samples no greater than 15 percent. Blind duplicates were included by the principal investigator with all analytical jobs at a rate of 10 percent. QA/QC determinations at all levels identified no serious quality problems with the dataset.</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>Analyses were done on differing sample types (bedrock, soil, streambed sediment) collected over a 3 year span, but analyses were all performed by the same analytical methods at the same laboratory.

Some sample sites were selected to be proximate to soil and water-quality sample sites where outcrop was present. In the Filson watershed, samples include: (1) anorthosite and augite troctolite of the South Kawishiwi intrusion; (2) gabbroic and troctolitic anorthosite of the Anorthosite Series, (3) metamorphosed basalt of the North Shore Volcanics, (4) sulfide-bearing mineralized gabbro and melatroctolite from the large outline of the Spruce Road deposit, (5) sulfide-bearing altered troctolite near the South Filson deposit, and (6) granodiorite from the Archean-age Giants Range Batholith. Multiple samples of mineralized rock from the Spruce Road deposit were collected to document the heterogeneous nature of the mineralization. Bedrock in the Keeley Creek watershed is generally a monotonous sea of anorthosite troctolite of the South Kiwishiwi intrusion. In addition to nine samples of troctolite, a sample of melatroctolite, which was not sulfide-bearing, that crops out in the valley of Keeley Creek was provided by Dean Peterson, then of Duluth Metals. Outcrop in the St. Louis watershed is sparse. Shale and argillite of unmetamorphosed Virginia Formation were collected along the river bed south of Whitewater Lake. Splits of troctolite from the Partridge River intrusion that crop out along the banks of the St. Louis River, originally collected by Mark Serverson (formerly of the Natural Resources Research Institute \xe2\x80\x93 NRRI) during reconnaissance field work, were taken from archived samples at the NRRI. Additional samples of troctolite and anorthosite were collected during the soil sampling effort. Bedrock samples from the hornfelsed contact area exposed in the Water Hen Creek area were also submitted for analysis. All bedrock samples were processed into small chips in the field and samples with obvious surficial alteration discarded. Fresh bedrock chips were collected into cloth sample bags.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2014</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>SOIL: Soil was collected from multiple sites within the three watersheds. In the Filson and Keeley watersheds glacial materials are very thin, and topography is controlled by underlying bedrock. The landscape consists of bedrock highlands surrounded by wetlands. Soil was collected only on dry, typically upland sites, often in proximity to bedrock outcrops. Sample sites in the Filson Creek watershed were selected to cross the wide variety of bedrock types. Access to the interior of the watershed is somewhat problematic; soil sampling sites were mainly along two broad transects that cut across the general trend of the major bedrock types, including Archean granodiorite and differing rock types of the Duluth Complex. Soil was also collected from sites along a short east-west transect within the mapped footprint of the Spruce Road deposit. In the Keeley Creek watershed access is even more problematic; however, the very homogeneous nature of the bedrock made site selection relatively straightforward. Fifteen soil sites were selected proximate to the 4 water quality sites and along the limited access ways. In contrast to the other two watersheds, the St. Louis River watershed has thick glacial cover. The 15 soil sites were selected based on the diverse glacial features visible in the publicly available 1-m LiDAR hillshade coverage and the newly completed glacial map for the region (fig. 4). Glacial and modern landscape features that were soil sample sites include: (1) esker, (2) draped drumlin, (3) ground till, (4) terminal moraine, (5) ice-walled lake, (6) tunnel valley, and (7) alluvial plain. All soil samples were collected using hand tools. The target samples from each site were: (1) the soil O horizon, consisting of the decomposing organic material at the surface but not including leaf litter or living plants; (2) the soil A horizon, defined as an organic mineral soil; and (3) a deeper sample representing the B or C horizon, assumed to best approximate the soil parent material. Mineral soil was collected into plastic bags and organic soil was collected into cloth bags. Information about location, tree canopy type, sampling depths, and miscellaneous notes was recorded on paper field sheets. The soil O horizon proved to be elusive as aggressive behavior by invasive earthworms has modified the organic material at many sites. Worm activity typically incorporates surficial humic materials into the mineral soil. As a result, where a soil O horizon is missing, it is assumed to have been consumed by worms, and the soil A horizon typically is always much thicker than found at unwormed sites as burrowing worms process and mix organic material into the upper mineral soil. Soil O horizon samples were collected at about 30 percent of all sites.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>STREAMBED SEDIMENTS: Streambed sediment represents a time-integrated composite of the solid material transported and deposited within a stream. The concentration of trace elements in streambed sediment generally increases as the size fraction decreases. Two different streambed sediment size fractions (&lt;2 millimeters (mm) and &lt;63 microns (\xc2\xb5m)) were collected for this study. Streambed sediments were hand-collected at the water-quality sites during low flow to maximize access to depositional areas. Three additional streambed sediment samples were collected from Filson Creek and a small tributary within the mapped footprint of the Spruce Road deposit. For the clastic &lt;2 mm size fraction, samples were taken from depositional areas within an approximately 50-meter reach using a stainless-steel scoop, and wet-sieved in the field with native water to &lt;2 mm using a stainless-steel sieve. Within each sampling area, about 500 grams of sieved material were composited and placed into acid-rinsed polyethylene bottles. Samples were air-dried prior to submittal for analysis. Fine-grained streambed sediment collection was attempted at all water-quality sites. Thirteen streambed sediment samples were collected using the flexible 63 \xc2\xb5m nylon-cloth sieve. For this method, streambed sediment collected with a stainless-steel scoop was placed onto a 63 \xc2\xb5m nylon-cloth sieve, which was then rinsed in a glass beaker containing native water, with the intent of washing the &lt;63 \xc2\xb5m material into the beaker. Typical sample collection time at each site was about 1 hour, with multiple composites of material collected along about a 50-meter reach. At the end of the sampling period, all native water and suspended material in the receiving container was transferred into an acid-rinsed polyethylene bottle. After sitting for more than 2 weeks, the bottles were decanted, and the solid material allowed to air dry. In all cases, collected streambed sediment quantities were small, and in several cases, were insufficient material for analysis. All samples with a dry weight of more than 2 grams were submitted for analysis.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>ANALYTICAL METHODS: All samples were submitted to the USGS geochemistry contract laboratory, SGS, for analysis. Concentrations of aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), sulfur (S), titanium (Ti), silver (Ag), barium (Ba), beryllium(Be), bismuth (Bi), cadmium (Cd), cerium (Ce), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), cesium (Cs), copper (Cu), gallium (Ga), indium (In), lanthanum (La), lithium (Li), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb), nickel (Ni), phosphorus (P), lead (Pb), rubidium (Rb), antimony (Sb), scandium (Sc), tin (Sn), strontium (Sr), tellurium (Te), thorium (Th), thallium (Tl), uranium (U), vanadium (V), tungsten (W), yttrium (Y), and zinc (Zn) were determined by inductively coupled plasma\xe2\x80\x93atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and by inductively coupled plasma\xe2\x80\x93mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). For this combined analytical method, all samples were decomposed using a near-total four-acid (hydrochloric, nitric, hydrofluoric, and perchloric) digestion at a temperature between 125 and 150\xc2\xb0C. Because of the small quantity of &lt;63 \xc2\xb5m stream bed sediment, no additional analyses were possible. For all other samples additional analyses were completed. Mercury (Hg) was determined by cold-vapor atomic absorption spectrometry after dissolution in a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids. For a more precise analysis of As, each sample was fused in a mixture of sodium peroxide and sodium hydroxide at 750\xc2\xb0C. The fused mixture was then dissolved in hydrochloric acid and analyzed by hydride-generation atomic absorption spectrometry. Selenium (Se) was determined by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry after dissolution in a mixture of nitric, hydrofluoric, and perchloric acids. Soil was also analyzed for total carbon (C) and carbonate C. Total C was determined using an automated carbon analyzer. By this method, each sample was combusted in an oxygen atmosphere at 1,370 \xc2\xbaC to oxidize C to carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 gas was measured by a solid-state infrared detector. Carbonate carbon was determined as carbon dioxide by coulometric titration. The sample was treated with hot 2N perchloric acid and the evolved CO2 passed into a cell containing a solution of monoethanolamine. The CO2, quantitatively absorbed by the monoethanolamine, was coulometrically titrated using platinum and silver/potassium-iodide electrodes. The concentration of organic C is calculated by subtracting the amount of inorganic (carbonate) C from the total C concentration. Samples of the soil O horizon were air-dried, sieved to &lt;2 mm, and sent to the USGS Denver Geochemistry Group, where they were milled and split, with one portion set aside and the remainder of the sample ashed at 500\xc2\xb0C for 13 hours at the USGS analytical laboratory. Both the unashed and ashed materials were sent to SGS. The unashed split was analyzed for As, Hg, and Se, and the ashed portion was analyzed by the 42-element ICP-MS/AES method. In addition to the near-total 4-acid digestion technique, the &lt;2 mm streambed sediments collected in 2012 were analyzed using a partial extraction method. For this method, a hydrochloric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution solubilizes metals not tightly bound in a mineral silicate lattice. Ten metals are extracted by a 10 percent Aliquot 336-disobutylketone (DIBK) solution as organic halides. The separated organic phase is pneumatically aspirated into a multichannel ICP instrument where the concentrations of the extracted metals, in this case Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Cu, gold (Au), Mo, Pb, Sb, and Zn, are determined simultaneously. It is important to note that this procedure is a partial digestion and, depending on an element\xe2\x80\x99s availability, results may be biased low when compared to other methods of analyses</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <indspref>GPS locations for each individual sample site determined using handheld unit.</indspref>\n <direct>Point</direct>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <geograph>\n <latres>0.001</latres>\n <longres>0.001</longres>\n <geogunit>Decimal degrees</geogunit>\n </geograph>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Bedrock</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Major and trace element geochemical data for bedrock samples</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Laurel Woodruff</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Lab No.</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>laboratory identification number</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Identification number assigned by the USGS Geochemistry Team to assist in sample/data cataloging</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Field No.</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Label assigned to the bedrock sample as it was collected in the field</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>The field number assigned to each bedrock sample collected in the field.

Fish kills have included die-offs of two federally-listed fish species, the endangered tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi) and the threatened Central California Coast steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The goal of this was to identify the sources of nutrients contributing to eutrophication, hypoxia and fish kills in Rodeo Lagoon. The data will provide a more complete understanding of the energetic pathways and nutrient sources in the Rodeo Lagoon foodweb that lead to eutrophication, hypoxia and fish kills. They will also quantify hypoxia exposure of imperiled fish species.The results from this study will be of interest to scientists and managers both locally and more broadly to those around the world addressing ecological problems in coastal ecosystems. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5cdc82dce4b0f324a7cf03d2) [](/catalog/item/imap/5cdc82dce4b0f324a7cf03d2) ## Communities - USGS California Water Science Center - USGS Data Release Products ## Associated Items - _alternate of_ [Otolith chemistry of fishes in Rodeo Lagoon, Marin County, California, 2016](/catalog/item/5dd8547ae4b069579767b5a3 "Otolith chemistry of fishes in Rodeo Lagoon, Marin County, California, 2016") - _alternate of_ [Surface Water Quality at Rodeo Lagoon on August 16th, 2016](/catalog/item/5cd9a561e4b075e8e235c533 "Surface Water Quality at Rodeo Lagoon on August 16th, 2016") - [View Associated Items](/catalog/itemLinks?itemId=5cdc82dce4b0f324a7cf03d2) ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") Theme - [Aquatic Biology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DAquatic+Biology "Aquatic Biology (Aquatic Biology, Theme, None)") - [aquatic vegetation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Daquatic+vegetation "aquatic vegetation (aquatic vegetation, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [biological taxonomy](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dbiological+taxonomy "biological taxonomy (biological taxonomy, Theme, Thesaurus categories)") - [biota](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dbiota "biota (biota, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [coastal ecosystems](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dcoastal+ecosystems "coastal ecosystems (coastal ecosystems, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [endangered species](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dendangered+species "endangered species (endangered species, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [environment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Denvironment "environment (environment, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [eutrophication](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Deutrophication "eutrophication (eutrophication, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [fish](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dfish "fish (fish, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [invertebrates](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dinvertebrates "invertebrates (invertebrates, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [light stable isotope analysis](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dlight+stable+isotope+analysis "light stable isotope analysis (light stable isotope analysis, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [oxygen content (water)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Doxygen+content+%28water%29 "oxygen content (water) (oxygen content (water), Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [vegetation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dvegetation "vegetation (vegetation, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [California](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DCalifornia "California (California, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Central California Coastal](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DCentral+California+Coastal "Central California Coastal (Central California Coastal, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Golden Gate](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGolden+Gate "Golden Gate (Golden Gate, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Marin](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMarin "Marin (Marin, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [United States](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUnited+States "United States (United States, Place, Common geographic areas)") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Aquatic Biology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DAquatic+Biology "Aquatic Biology (Aquatic Biology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Ecology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEcology "Ecology (Ecology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Wildlife Biology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWildlife+Biology "Wildlife Biology (Wildlife Biology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") ## Provenance ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/P9WKEFOW | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

The system was original developed for Sercon data files so there are artefacts carried forward to how VisION data files is processed.\nPost-run evaluation\nAfter an analytical run completes, the data is evaluated \xe2\x80\x93 making notes of saturated samples, misaligned references, skipping or doubling or samples/references. The state of the instrument is evaluated based on precision of drift reference (G-6 Nylon) through run, baseline N2 level, carrier flow rate, evidence of poor combustion or reduction. \nRaw data review and import to LIMS\nData processing begins with review of all chromatography through the run \xe2\x80\x93 noting tailing, shifting peaks, poor reference gas peaks, etc. \nRaw data files from Elementar VisION IonOS software - see Raw -Hodson A-D060519.xlsx\nRaw data file from Sercon Callisto software - Raw Lorts Akhtar-P061119.prn\nChanges to raw data files:\n\xe2\x80\xa2Correct run order (references swapped)\n\xe2\x80\xa2Correct reference identification (mistyping of size reference identification)\n\xe2\x80\xa2Remove extra lines at end\n\nBy macro or template convert to LIMS import file \xe2\x80\x93 see Hodson A-D060519 - to LIMS.txt and Lorts Akhtar-P061119 - to LIMS.txt\nAdjustments made to LIMS import files:\n\xe2\x80\xa2Notation for issues observed during chromatography review\n\xe2\x80\xa2Mark references to be ignored \xe2\x80\x93 saturated references, empty nylons, etc.\nThe data is ready for import to LIMS.\nLIMS corrections\nPrior to analysis, projects are created within LIMS associated to a specific researcher and containing a list of samples. Data is imported into LIMS as an individual analytical run (batch) comprised of samples and references. Each batch can contain samples from multiple projects. Batches are generally corrected individually, exceptions are noted below. Once all data for a given project is corrected, the results are saved and exported from LIMS as a single compiled results file including all associated references. \nThe following corrections/calculations are made in LIMS:\n\xe2\x80\xa2Drift correction \xe2\x80\x93 based on Nylon (G-6) reference trending\n\xe2\x80\xa2Size (Linearity) correction \xe2\x80\x93 based on Glutamic Acid (G-20) or Alfalfa Flour (G-5) trending at various sample weights\n\xe2\x80\xa2Final normalization \xe2\x80\x93 scaling from measured to known isotope value from Nylon (G-6) to Enriched Alanine (G-21) \n\xe2\x80\xa2Elemental Totals \xe2\x80\x93 based on Glutamic Acid (G-20) or Alfalfa Flour (G-5) peak area at various sample weights\n\nOrder Correction\nThe residual between the accepted Nylon isotope value and each individual value is fit by a regression in relation to ordinal position in run. The individual values are adjusted by offset determined by the fit equation. Acceptable fit equations are: offset, linear, 2nd order polynomial, power, logarithmic and hyperbolic.\n\nSize (Linearity) Correction\nSize references, Glutamic Acid (G-20) and/or Alfalfa (G-5), are included at various weights through each analytical run. While stated analytical ranges are 20-150\xc2\xb5gN and 200-2000\xc2\xb5gC, a broader range of weights are generally included based on the sample weights and material. Samples below 10\xc2\xb5gN and 50\xc2\xb5gC are flagged below LOQ but sample and reference data is still reported.\nThe residual between the run\xe2\x80\x99s average size reference isotope value and each individual value is fit by a regression in relation to peak area of reference. The individual values are adjusted by the fit equation. Acceptable fit equations are: none, linear, 2nd order polynomial, power, logarithmic and hyperbolic.\nMultiple batches can be size corrected together; for example, if a run terminates early without a complete set of references, that batch can be corrected with a comparable (run parameters, reactor chemicals, etc.) run.\n\nFinal Normalization\nMeasured values for bounding references, Nylon (G-6) and Enriched Alanine (G-21) are plotted against accepted values. The linear regression is applied to all samples and references.\nMultiple batches can be normalized together; for example, if a run terminates early without a complete set of references, that batch can be corrected with a comparable (run parameters, reactor chemicals, etc.) run.\n\nElemental Totals\nWe provide elemental totals as micrograms of carbon and nitrogen with 13C and 15N analyses. The totals are calculated from the total peak area reported from the IRMS. Size references, Glutamic Acid (G-20) and/or Alfalfa (G-5), are included at various weights through each analytical run. \nA regression of calculated micrograms to peak (beam) area is plotted and applied to all samples and references. LIMS stores the peak area as raw amp * sec * 1e6 to make the value more readable.\n\nAEG QAQC of data:\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Data were checked to ensure values fell within the expected range, were checked for duplication and omissions, and screened for outliers.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Matthew J Young</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, SOUTHWEST REGION</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Fish Biologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>6000 J Street Placer Hall</address>\n <city>Sacramento</city>\n <state>CA</state>\n <postal>95819</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>916-278-3004</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>General EcoAnalyst Gut Analysis Procedure\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Individual adult/juvenile fish guts were dissected and all contents were removed/flushed from the gut into a dish of ethanol for identification.\n\xe2\x80\xa2 All gut contents were identified and enumerated by a qualified taxonomist to the lowest practical taxonomic level based on current literature.

The duration of the deployment included a day prior to and a day following the dye study to capture the lock operations leading up to and following the dye study. The instrument was deployed within conduit placed inside the ladder well near the 500-foot station on the right wall of the lock chamber (when looking downstream). At the time of deployment, the Level Troll was calibrated to the water surface elevation readings (headwater elevation; upstream gates open) as measured by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Brandon Road Lock and Dam. On October 20, 2015, the lock chamber at BRLD was dyed with 4 liters of Rhodamine WT dye during a routine filling procedure. After filling and dye concentration measurements in the lock were complete, the lock was emptied and followed by a 17-minute flushing operation of the lock. Water surface elevation measurements were taken at a frequency of 1 measurement every minute by the Level Troll. Data logging was stopped and the data were recovered on October 21, 2015. ## Contacts Contact : [P. Ryan Jackson](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=P.+Ryan+Jackson) Author : [P.

The purpose of this dye study was to assess the mixing, advection, and dispersion of dye within the BRLD lock chamber and in the approach channel downstream. These data will aid in the design of potential strategies for preventing upstream transport of invasive Asian carp through BRLD. Dye was injected into the intakes for the lock chamber at the start of the filling process. The dye was injected through grates atop the intake channels on both sides of the lock. Injection began at 1024 hours on October 20, 2015, and ended at 1030 hours on October 20, 2015. A total of 4 liters of Rhodamine WT in a 20 percent solution was injected (2 liters on each side of the lock). The target dye concentration in the lock chamber was 9 parts per billion (ppb). Key operation changes occurred at the following times: 10/20/2015 10:22 (start filling the lock chamber); 10/20/2015 10:43 (end filling the chamber); 10/20/2015 12:26 (start emptying lock chamber); 10/20/2015 12:43 (lock chamber empty, downstream gates remain closed); 10/20/2015 14:00 (downstream valves opened to drain leakage into lock chamber); 10/20/2015 14:08 (downstream gates opened); 10/20/2015 14:15 (lock chamber flushing procedure started; 1/4 opening of upstream valves); 10/20/2015 14:32 (flushing procedure ended); 10/20/2015 15:32 (begin filling lock chamber); 10/20/2015 15:49 (begin emptying of partially filled lock chamber); 10/20/2015 16:00 (Lock reopened to normal navigational traffic). All times are in Central Daylight Time. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/57976ba1e4b021cadec978a6) [](/catalog/item/imap/57976ba1e4b021cadec978a6) ## Communities - USGS Central Midwest Water Science Center ## Tags Theme - [Dye](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDye "Dye (Dye, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Lock exchange](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLock+exchange "Lock exchange (Lock exchange, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Tracer](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DTracer "Tracer (Tracer, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Water surface elevation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWater+surface+elevation "Water surface elevation (Water surface elevation, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Brandon Road Lock and Dam](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBrandon+Road+Lock+and+Dam "Brandon Road Lock and Dam (Brandon Road Lock and Dam, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Des Plaines River](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDes+Plaines+River "Des Plaines River (Des Plaines River, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Illinois](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DIllinois "Illinois (Illinois, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Rockdale](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DRockdale "Rockdale (Rockdale, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Will County](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWill+County "Will County (Will County, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Water Resources](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWater+Resources "Water Resources (Water Resources, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") Types - [Citation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DCitation "Citation") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/F7VQ30S2 | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

The duration of the deployment included a day prior to and a day following the dye study to capture the lock operations leading up to and following the dye study. The instrument was deployed within conduit placed inside the ladder well near the 500-foot station on the right wall of the lock chamber (when looking downstream). At the time of deployment, the Level Troll was calibrated to the water surface elevation readings (headwater elevation; upstream gates open) as measured by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Brandon Road Lock and Dam. On October 20, 2015, the lock chamber at BRLD was dyed with 4 liters of Rhodamine WT dye during a routine filling procedure. After filling and dye concentration measurements in the lock were complete, the lock was emptied and followed by a 17-minute flushing operation of the lock. Water surface elevation measurements were taken at a frequency of 1 measurement every minute by the Level Troll. Data logging was stopped and the data were recovered on October 21, 2015.</abstract>\n <purpose>These data were collected during dye tracing surveys of the Des Plaines River downstream of Brandon Road Lock and Dam (BRLD) near Rockdale, Illinois. The purpose of this dye study was to assess the mixing, advection, and dispersion of dye within the BRLD lock chamber and in the approach channel downstream. These data will aid in the design of potential strategies for preventing upstream transport of invasive Asian carp through BRLD. Dye was injected into the intakes for the lock chamber at the start of the filling process. The dye was injected through grates atop the intake channels on both sides of the lock. Injection began at 1024 hours on October 20, 2015, and ended at 1030 hours on October 20, 2015. A total of 4 liters of Rhodamine WT in a 20 percent solution was injected (2 liters on each side of the lock). The target dye concentration in the lock chamber was 9 parts per billion (ppb). Key operation changes occurred at the following times: 10/20/2015 10:22 (start filling the lock chamber); 10/20/2015 10:43 (end filling the chamber); 10/20/2015 12:26 (start emptying lock chamber); 10/20/2015 12:43 (lock chamber empty, downstream gates remain closed); 10/20/2015 14:00 (downstream valves opened to drain leakage into lock chamber); 10/20/2015 14:08 (downstream gates opened); 10/20/2015 14:15 (lock chamber flushing procedure started; 1/4 opening of upstream valves); 10/20/2015 14:32 (flushing procedure ended); 10/20/2015 15:32 (begin filling lock chamber); 10/20/2015 15:49 (begin emptying of partially filled lock chamber); 10/20/2015 16:00 (Lock reopened to normal navigational traffic).

Kevin Hubbs from the Fayetteville, Arkansas USGS office was the boat operator during the bathymetric survey.</datacred>\n <native>Environment as of Metadata Creation: Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; Esri ArcGIS 10.5 (Build 6491) Service Pack N/A (Build N/A); Hypack Version 17.1.10.0; Corpscon (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) version 6.0.1</native>\n <crossref>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Wilson, G.L. and Richards, J.M.</origin>\n <pubdate>2006</pubdate>\n <title>Procedural Documentation and Accuracy Assessment of Bathymetric Maps and Area/Capacity Tables for Small Reservoirs</title>\n <serinfo>\n <sername>U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report</sername>\n <issue>2006-5208</issue>\n </serinfo>\n <onlink>https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2006/5208/</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </crossref>\n </idinfo>\n <dataqual>\n <attracc>\n <attraccr>The SonTek Hydrosurveyor M9 ADCP has a resolution of 0.001 meters (m) and an accuracy of 1 percent (%) of the measured depth. The internal compass/tilt sensor has a heading accuracy of +/- 2% and pitch/roll accuracy of +/- 1%. Twenty-two sound velocity profiles conducted with a SonTek CastAway CTD unit served as independent checks of the sonar depth. The check depths differed from the sonar depth by 0.06 m or less in 12 profiles, by 0.29-0.82 m in 8 profiles, and by greater than 1 m in 2 profiles. The mean difference was 0.43 m and median difference was 0.04 m. Accuracy of the depths measured with the CastAway CTD were likely affected by factors such as boat drift and an inability to accurately determine the sediment/water interface using the CastAway CTD unit.</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>Data quality was assessed continuously during the survey. Data-quality flags and alarms from the sonar and GPS were noted and investigated. Twenty-two sound velocity profiles conducted with a SonTek CastAway CTD unit served as independent checks of the sonar depth. The check depths differed from the sonar depth by 0.06 m or less in 12 profiles, by 0.29-0.82 m in 8 profiles, and by greater than 1 m in 2 profiles. The mean difference was 0.43 m and median difference was 0.04 m. Two TIN surfaces, one created using sonar soundings from 7 survey lines and the other created using soundings from 4 cross check lines, were compared at the locations of 10,468 soundings (the TIN nodes) in the test area. The mean difference was 0.10 m, median difference -0.01 m, and standard deviation 0.78 m.</logic>\n <complete>The channel of the Petit Jean River upstream from Blue Mountain Lake was surveyed to approximately 4.3 kilometers (km) upstream from the confluence with major tributary Sugar Creek, at which point the surveyed depth was approximately 1 m or less.

WAAS specifications require the system to provide a position accuracy of 7.6 m (25 ft) or less for both horizontal and vertical measurements at the 95% confidence level; actual performance measurements of the system at specific locations have shown that WAAS typically provides better than 1-m horizontal and 1.5-m vertical accuracy throughout the contiguous United States.</horizpar>\n </horizpa>\n <vertacc>\n <vertaccr>Depth measurements made with the SonTek Hydrosurveyor M9 were referenced to the water-surface elevation measured in 0.01-ft increments at the USACE gaging station at Blue Mountain Dam. Elevations at the gaging station are reported in ft relative to the North American Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29). The water surface throughout the lake was assumed to be at the same elevation as at the dam during the survey. Twenty-two sound velocity profiles conducted with a SonTek CastAway CTD unit served as independent checks of the sonar depth. The check depths differed from the sonar depth by 0.06 m or less in 12 profiles, by 0.29-0.82 m in 8 profiles, and by greater than 1 m in 2 profiles. The mean difference was 0.43 m and median difference was 0.04 m.

In the main body of the lake, survey lines were spaced 100 meters apart; in tributary arms, survey lines were spaced 50 meters apart. The submerged channel of the Petit Jean River, as defined by surface buoys, was surveyed along 4-6 longitudinal transects between the buoys to better define the location, shape, and depth of the channel. The Petit Jean River arm upstream from the main body of the lake was also surveyed along 4-6 longitudinal transects between the banks.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20170601</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Regarding cleanup and post-processing of data from the SonTek Hydrosurveyor M9 ADCP, raw depth measurements were examined using the SBMax64 module in Hypack. Obviously erroneous measurements were removed from the data. Water-surface elevations associated with depth measurements were determined from hourly pool elevations measured at the USACE gaging station at Blue Mountain Dam. Hourly pool elevation data for the duration of the survey were obtained from USACE, Little Rock District, and converted from NGVD29 to NAVD88 using Corpscon. Converted water-surface elevation data were then imported to Hypack using the manual tide editor and applied to the sonar data. Water-surface elevations between hourly readings were interpolated using the spline function in the tide editor. The default sound velocity in the sonar unit, 1,500 meters per second, was corrected to sound velocity measured in the field by performing sound velocity casts 1-4 times per day with a SonTek CastAway CTD unit. Sound velocity files were exported from the CastAway CTD in Hypack format and imported to Hypack using the sound velocity editor. Sound velocity applied to soundings was interpolated from the sound velocity casts by geographic position and time of day. To achieve a point spacing consistent with the approximately 1-meter point spacing of the LiDAR data, a TIN model of the final sonar data was created in Hypack and a 1-meter grid of points from the TIN model was output in ASCII XYZ format.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20170901</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>ASCII XYZ files of bathymetric soundings and gridded points from the TIN model of the bathymetric survey (as described in the previous step) were converted to point feature classes using the "ASCII 3D-to-feature class" tool in 3D Analyst.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20171001</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>A feature dataset was created within a file geodatabase, to which the multipoint feature classes of bathymetric data bare-earth returns from the aerial LiDAR survey were added. A polygon feature class created from the 420-ft NAVD88 aerial LiDAR contour upstream from Blue Mountain Dam was added to the feature dataset to represent the survey extent.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20171001</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The multipoint feature class of aerial LiDAR data was clipped to the extent of the 420-ft aerial LiDAR contour upstream from Blue Mountain Dam. The "LASboundary" tool within the LAStools suite in ArcToolbox was used to create boundaries of the extent of sonar data from the bathymetric survey and of islands within the surveyed extent. The "Erase Points" tool in ArcToolbox was used to remove LiDAR points that overlapped the bathymetric survey data within the surveyed extent and to preserve LiDAR points representing the surfaces of 6 islands within the surveyed extent.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20171001</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>A terrain dataset was created within the feature dataset in the file geodatabase. A 3.281-ft average point spacing was used. Five pyramid levels were defined: 1) 1-ft z-tolerance at 1:1,000 scale; 2) 3-ft z-tolerance at 1:2,500 scale; 3) 6-ft z-tolerance at 1:5,000 scale; 4) 10-ft z-tolerance at 1:10,000 scale; and 5) 25-ft z-tolerance at 1:20,000 scale. The polygon feature class representing the survey extent was used as a soft-clip layer.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20171001</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>A file geodatabase raster DEM was created from the terrain dataset at pyramid level 0 (full resolution) using the "Terrain-to-Raster" tool in the 3D Analyst toolbox. Esri GRID format, FLOAT output data type, natural neighbors interpolation method, and cell size of 3 ft were used.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20171001</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Bathymetric contours, at 4-ft intervals, were created from the file geodatabase raster DEM using the "Surface Contour" tool, 3D analyst toolbox. Small contours with a Shape_length less than 500 ft were removed from the dataset. Contours were smoothed using the "Smooth Line" tool in Cartography Tools; the PAEK smoothing algorithm and a smoothing tolerance of 120 ft were used. Contour segments that remained jagged because of the numerical interpretation of the data were smoothed with Bezier curves using the "Smooth" tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20171001</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Surface area and storage capacity (volume) of Blue Mountain Lake were computed from the file geodatabase raster DEM using the "Surface Volume" tool in 3D Analyst. The 3D-surface area was used to compute volume. A Python script was written to iterate the tool at 1-ft intervals over the elevation range of 350-420 ft, NAVD88. Surface areas and volumes corresponding to conservation pool elevations 384 ft NGVD29 (384.194 ft NAVD88) and 387 ft NGVD29 (387.194 ft NAVD88) and flood pool elevation 419 ft NGVD29 (419.194 ft NAVD88) were computed separately and included in the volume table.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20171001</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <gridsys>\n

These files were created and are maintained by the USA National Phenology Network ( [www.usanpn.org](http://www.usanpn.org/)). The Extended Spring Indices are mathematical models that predict the "start of spring" (timing of leaf out or bloom for species active in early spring) at a particular location (Schwartz 1997, Schwartz et al. 2006, Schwartz et al. 2013). These models were constructed using historical observations of the timing of first leaf and first bloom in a cloned lilac cultivar (S. x chinensis 'Red Rothomagensis') and two cloned honeysuckle cultivars (Lonicera tatarica 'Arnold Red' and L. korolkowii 'Zabelii'). Primary inputs to the model are temperature and weather events, beginning January 1 of each year (Ault et al. 2015). The model output is the day of year that a particular location met the requirements of one of the Spring Index models (First Leaf or First Bloom). As the Extended Spring Index models are based on individual models for each of three calibration species, model output is available for each of these species individually, or as an average of the three species. The original Spring Indices (Schwartz 1997) included a chilling requirement. In a more recent version of the model (Schwartz et al. 2013), referred to as the Extended Spring Indices, the chilling requirement was excluded, allowing the index to be extended across the entire U.S. Spring index products in the USA National Phenology Network's gridded data product suite are based on the Extended Spring Indices. This page also contains a vector file of continental-scale migratory bird flyways. This vector file was generated by merging a digital US flyway product (Ducks Unlimited, 2017) with digital boundaries of Canadian provinces (Natural Resources Canada, 2017) and Mexican states (US Geological Survey, 2017). We manually defined boundaries to create the four distinct continental flyways: Pacific, Central, Mississippi and Atlantic. **References:** Ducks Unlimited.

Each pixel is assigned a day of year value for the First Leaf Index. The Extended Spring Indices are mathematical models that predict the "start of spring" (timing of leaf out or bloom for species active in early spring) at a particular location. This model was constructed using historical observations of the timing of first leaf in a cloned lilac cultivar (S. x chinensis \'Red Rothomagensis\') and two cloned honeysuckle cultivars (Lonicera tatarica \'Arnold Red\' and L. korolkowii \'Zabelii\'). Primary inputs to the model are temperature events, beginning January 1 of each year. Layers are available for each year from 1880 to 2013. Input temperature data are historical BEST data at 1 degree resolution.</abstract>\n <purpose>The Extended Spring Indices have been used as an indicator of climate change by both the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Climate Assessment. The historical values of first leaf and first bloom support understanding of spatial patterns in the timing of spring.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>18800101</begdate>\n <enddate>20131231</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>publication date</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>Annually</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-180.0</westbc>\n <eastbc>0.0</eastbc>\n <northbc>90.0</northbc>\n <southbc>0.0</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>phenology</themekey>\n <themekey>ecology</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5b75d10ee4b0f5d5787fea6f</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>United States</placekey>\n <placekey>Canada</placekey>\n <placekey>Mexico</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>Public</accconst>\n <useconst>Please cite these products as follows: USA National Phenology Network.

At the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging (ENOA) bioretention garden the components of the water balance that were measured or calculated were precipitation volume, stormwater inflow volume to bioretention garden, were overflow volume, and evapotranspiration. The performance of the bioretention gardens was evaluated for a series of rainfall events. The start of an event was determined based on when rainfall began at the site. The end of an event was determined based on when the water level was equal to zero in the stilling well of the inflow flume or when the water level in the bioretention garden was zero, whichever occurred last. Evapotranspiration components were not used in the event-based analysis because this analysis was used to characterize the reduction in stormwater volume and peak discharges to the storm sewer system primarily during time periods of overflow, and these components take place over longer time periods. Change in storage was also excluded from the event-based analyses because time periods were selected to represent rainfall events such that the change in storage of ponded water was always zero. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Kellan R Strauch](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10022) Originator : [Kellan R Strauch](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10022) Metadata Contact : [Kellan R Strauch](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10022) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Nebraska Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17316) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5e1645abe4b0ecf25c57b124?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5e1645abe4b0ecf25c57b124?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5e1645abe4b0ecf25c57b124?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ENOA\_water\_balance\_events\_summary.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 13.47 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | ENOA\_water\_balance\_events\_summary.csv | | 22.54 KB | text/csv | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Strauch, K.R., Rus, D.L., Holm, K.E., 2016, Water balance monitoring for two bioretention gardens in Omaha, Nebraska, 2011–14, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigation Report 2015–5188, 19 p. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20155188](https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20155188 "https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20155188") | ## Purpose Data were collected to better understand the performance of bioretention gardens in facilitating infiltration of stormwater in eastern Nebraska ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5e1645abe4b0ecf25c57b124) [](/catalog/item/imap/5e1645abe4b0ecf25c57b124) ## Communities - USGS Nebraska Water Science Center ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [Best Management Practice](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBest+Management+Practice "Best Management Practice (Best Management Practice, Theme, None)") - [Bioretention](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBioretention "Bioretention (Bioretention, Theme, None)") - [Green Infrastructure](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGreen+Infrastructure "Green Infrastructure (Green Infrastructure, Theme, None)") - [Stormwater](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DStormwater "Stormwater (Stormwater, Theme, None)") - [environment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Denvironment "environment (environment, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [inlandWaters](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DinlandWaters "inlandWaters (inlandWaters, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [runoff](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Drunoff "runoff (runoff, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [watershed management](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwatershed+management "watershed management (watershed management, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Douglas County](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDouglas+County "Douglas County (Douglas County, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Omaha NE](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DOmaha+NE "Omaha NE (Omaha NE, Place, Common geographic areas)") ## Provenance ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Change in storage was also excluded from the event-based analyses because time periods were selected to represent rainfall events such that the change in storage of ponded water was always zero.</abstract>\n <purpose>Data were collected to better understand the performance of bioretention gardens in facilitating infiltration of stormwater in eastern Nebraska</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20110401</begdate>\n <enddate>20171101</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-95.9776005</westbc>\n <eastbc>-95.9759885</eastbc>\n <northbc>41.2414305</northbc>\n <southbc>41.2408355</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>environment</themekey>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>Bioretention</themekey>\n <themekey>Stormwater</themekey>\n <themekey>Best Management Practice</themekey>\n <themekey>Green Infrastructure</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>runoff</themekey>\n <themekey>watershed management</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5e1645abe4b0ecf25c57b124</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>Omaha NE</placekey>\n <placekey>Douglas County</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>none</accconst>\n <useconst>none</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Kellan R Strauch</cntper>\n <cntorg>MIDCONTINENT REGION: NEBRASKA WATER SCI CTR</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Hydrologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>5231 South 19th Street</address>\n <city>Lincoln</city>\n <state>NE</state>\n <postal>68512</postal>\n <country>United States</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>402-328-4181</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\n <datacred>Data were collected through a cooperative study between the U.S. Geological Survey, Douglas County Environmental Services, and the Nebraska Environmental Trust.</datacred>\n <crossref>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Healy, R.W.</origin>\n <origin>Winter, T.C.</origin>\n <origin>LaBaugh, J.W.</origin>\n <origin>Franke, O.L.</origin>\n <pubdate>2007</pubdate>\n <title>Water Budgets: Foundations for Effective Water-Resources and Environmental Management</title>\n <geoform>publication</geoform>\n <serinfo>\n <sername>Circular</sername>\n <issue>1308</issue>\n </serinfo>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>Reston, VA</pubplace>\n <publish>U.S. Geological Survey</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <onlink>https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/2007/1308/</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </crossref>\n <crossref>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>U.S. Geological Survey</origin>\n <pubdate>2019</pubdate>\n <title>USGS water data for the Nation: U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System database</title>\n <geoform>application/service</geoform>\n <onlink>https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN</onlink>\n <onlink>https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/inventory/?site_no=411429095583801 &amp;agency_cd=USGS</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </crossref>\n </idinfo>\n <dataqual>\n <attracc>\n <attraccr>No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted</logic>\n <complete>Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract.

The purpose of the precipitation data are to understand the influence of the amount and timing (e.g., winter or summer) of precipitation on egg width and variability. We collected monthly precipitation from two biologically important periods (i.e., winter and summer) for each site. We collected winter precipitation (October-March) because germination of annual plants, which are staples in tortoise diets, in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts are associated with timing and quantity of winter precipitation. Both timing and amount of winter precipitation are associated with reproductive output in both species. We collected summer precipitation (i.e., June-September) as a variable associated with environmental conditions experienced by eggs and hatchlings. ## Rights The authors of these data request that data users contact them regarding intended use and to assist with understanding limitations and interpretation.

We then located tortoises every 3-10 days during April through early August for X-radiography. X-radiographs were collected using a Min-Xray (HF-80 or TR-80, Northbrook, Illinois) with 3M Rare Earth (3M, St. Paul, Minnesota) or Custom X-Ray Imaging Services (Phoenix, Arizona) cassettes, or a digital Canon X-radiograph system (Melville, New York). We used Kodak, Imation, or Custom X-Ray film. X-radiograph exposures ranged from 60-65 kV for 0.08-0.24 seconds, depending on film or detector requirements. \nUpon initial capture and for subsequent first annual relocation events, we recorded straight-line carapace length along the medial axis (CL; measured in mm) for each individual. From the X-radiographs, we measured X-ray egg widths (XREW), clutch size (CS), clutch number (first clutch - CN1, second clutch - CN2, or third clutch - CN3), and X-ray pelvic aperture width (here after pelvic aperture width). Widths of eggs and the inside of the pelvic aperture were measured (mm) directly from films with dial calipers or from digital images using the measurement tool in K-PACS viewing software (http://www.k-pacs.net/; accuracy \xc2\xb1 0.1 mm). This measurement likely overestimates pelvic aperture width by a small amount as it does not include surrounding soft tissue that is radio-transparent. Our measurement is consistent with other studies that examine morphological constraints on egg width in turtles. We calculated mean X-ray egg width (hereafter mean egg width) per clutch per female. We calculated the coefficient of variation (CV) for clutch size and intra- and interclutch egg width within and among clutches. Intraclutch CV was calculated within a clutch of eggs in both species. Interclutch CV was calculated from the mean egg widths among all clutches within each CN1, CN2, and CN3 for G. agassizii and among years for G. morafkai. However, our dispersion measurement is, in general, unreliable especially for the intra-clutch calculations of smaller clutch sizes (e.g., 1, 2, and 3). Therefore, in our model selection analyses investigating CV of egg width within a clutch (intraclutch) in both species, we removed all clutches with less than four eggs. Our final sample size was 98 clutches for G. agassizii and 140 clutches for G. morafkai for our analyses.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Data Acquisition/Collection Data Entry - WestMap Data: We investigated the influence of the amount and timing (e.g., winter or summer) of precipitation on egg width and variability for several reasons. First, reproductive output, in theory (e.g., dynamic bet-hedging or a plastic response), could be influenced by resource availability (e.g., plant productivity and water availability) for herbivores like tortoises, and secondly, reproductive output could be influenced by the female\'s response to unpredictability of the environment experienced by offspring after hatching. We collected monthly precipitation from two biologically important periods (i.e., winter and summer) for each site. We collected winter precipitation (October-March) because germination of annual plants, which are staples in tortoise diets, in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts are associated with timing and quantity of winter precipitation. Both timing and amount of winter precipitation are associated with reproductive output in both species. We collected summer precipitation (i.e., June-September) as a variable associated with environmental conditions experienced by eggs and hatchlings. We estimated precipitation variables by averaging monthly precipitation totals within each period. We used WestMap (http://www.cefa.dri.edu/Westmap/Westmap_home.php) to collect estimated short-term precipitation variables from each study site. The variables included mean winter precipitation of the prior three years (w.ppt) and mean summer precipitation of the current and prior two years (su.ppt). All precipitation values were collected in centimeters (cm). \nWe downloaded precipitation values using WestMap (http://www.cefa.dri.edu/Westmap/Westmap_home.php) for two time periods, Oct-Mar and Jun-Sep to collect estimated short-term precipitation from each study site. In WestMap, we entered the GIS coordinates for each study site (MESA - 33.951556, -116.665921; Sugarloaf Mountains \xe2\x80\x93 33.6833, -111.517) and defined the time period by the number of months of interest (e.g., 6 or 4) and entered the last month of the time period (e.g., Mar and Sep). The WestMap climate analysis and mapping toolbox uses PRISM (parameter-elevation regressions on independent slopes model) to determine climate at grid cells and project regional monthly weather values (precipitation) for a target location by grid cell (i.e., GPS location). Each grid cell estimate is determined by using data from many nearby climate stations, in closest proximity to the selected grid cell. These data can be collected over the available period of record, based on weather station availability, and averaged over 30 day periods, months and years. The climate mapping program produces the highest-quality spatial climate data sets currently available. Details of the program are at Daly, C., Halbleib, M., Smith, J.I., Gibson, W.P., Doggett, M.K., Taylor, G.H., Curtis, J., and Pasteris, P.A. 2008. Physiographically-sensitive mapping of temperature and precipitation across the conterminous United States. International Journal of Climatology, DOI: 10.1002/joc.1688. (available in PDF format at http://www.prism.oregonstate.edu/docs/index.phtml). \nFor our study we collected mean winter precipitation of the prior three years (w.ppt) and mean summer precipitation of the current and prior two years (su.ppt). All precipitation values were collected in centimeters (cm).The output from WestMap was organized with "Year" and "Value" as separate columns. The "Value" represented the precipitation value measured in inches for the designated time period of a particular site. The data output (precipitation data) from WestMap was then cut and pasted into Excel in a tab labeled Precip_Data. The date was organized in Excel into 4 outputs, Mesa Oct-Mar, Meas Jun-Sep, Sugarloaf Oct-Mar, Sugarloaf Jun-Sep. Because precipitation values were exported in inches, we converted these values into centimeters. \nFieldwork was completed at Mesa in 2013; while fieldwork was completed at Sugarloaf in 2005. Precipitation data was collected from WestMap in 2015.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Data Processing: Tortoise data were entered onto data sheets and then into Excel spreadsheets.

All volume cases were modeled with umbrella cloud formation, with additional Ash3d simulations for the case of a 0.1 km3 eruption assuming no development of an umbrella cloud. One thousand model simulations were run for each of these cases. The data release contains model outputs from each of the simulations.

Calibrated dissolved gas models provide the optimal water temperature, excess air, entrapped air, fractionation of gases, and excess nitrogen gas (mainly from denitrification) that explain the measured dissolved gases in a sample. Age tracer concentrations are computed from measured concentrations of chlorofluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, helium, and helium isotopes using the dissolved gas model results (table 2). The dry-air mixing ratio is the atmospheric concentration (assuming the water has a single age) at the time of gas-water equilibration and is calculated for transient atmospheric gas tracers such as sulfur hexafluoride and chlorofluorocarbons. Tritiogenic helium-3 is the concentration of helium-3 that resulted from the decay of tritium and radiogenic helium-4 is the amount of helium generated from the decay of uranium and thorium in aquifer sediments. Table 3 provides the groundwater recharge age-dating results of this study and it contains condensed results from dissolved gas modeling and calculated environmental tracer concentrations, as well as results of the tritium age classification, susceptibility index, the mean groundwater age, fraction of modern water (water that was recharged after 1952), and detailed lumped parameter model calibration results of each sample in this study. Mean groundwater ages were determined by calibration of environmental tracers (tritium, tritiogenic helium-3, sulfur hexafluoride, carbon-14, and radiogenic helium-4) to lumped parameter models for the three production wells. Calibrated lumped parameter models provide the optimal mean age and mixing parameter(s) used to compute the distribution of ages that explain the measured tracer concentrations in a sample. Geochemical constituents, isotopes, physicochemical data, pumping rate, and water level are presented in table 4.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Table_1_DGmodel2014-18.xlsx: Calibration was done using methods described by Aeschbach-Hertig and others (1999) with modifications to include nitrogen gas (Weiss, 1970). In most cases, a single set of noble gas data (neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) were used to determine recharge conditions (recharge temperature, excess air or entrapped air, and fractionation). In cases where noble gas data were not available, multiple analyses of nitrogen and argon (collected sequentially on the same sample date) were used to determine recharge conditions using the unfractionated excess air (UA) model of dissolved gases. Samples with the full suite of noble gases can be used to identify groundwater with fractionated excess air using the closed-system equilibration (CE) model of dissolved gases.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Table_2_Tracers2014-18.xlsx: Dissolved gas models were paired with sulfur hexafluoride and helium isotopes (helium-3 and helium-4) and helium to determine concentrations of tritiogenic helium-3 (from decay of tritium; Solomon and Cook, 2000). Multiple tracer concentrations were computed when sites had multiple dissolved gas model results and analyses for sulfur hexafluoride or helium isotopes.Table_2_Tracers2014-18.xlsx: Dissolved gas models were paired with sulfur hexafluoride and helium isotopes (helium-3 and helium-4) and helium to determine concentrations of tritiogenic helium-3 (from decay of tritium; Solomon and Cook, 2000).

For all three wells, mean groundwater ages were modeled using a binary mixing model (BMM) consisting of two dispersion lumped-parameter models: one for a young component whose age was typically less than 30 years and a second component whose age was typically older than 30 years. The mean age was computed from the mean age and fraction of each component in the mixture. These binary mixtures were identified from tracer concentration plots and arise physically from the leakage of water across or flow around a confining unit in the case of the glacial-aquifer well or from the contribution of different fractures within the bedrock in the case of the public and domestic wells. To represent this mixing in the model, the old age in the glacial aquifer well and the young age in the bedrock-aquifer public-supply well were varied, and the fraction of water from these zones was computed. Plots of tracer concentrations indicated the age of older water in the bedrock aquifer wells were consistent throughout the study at around 37 years for the domestic and 64 years for the public well. These values were held constant in the model as it is less likely to change rapidly due to the proximity to aquifer recharge zones. The young age in the domestic bedrock aquifer well was allowed to vary in the model since the well is relatively shallow, has a relatively short casing, and as a result is more susceptible to recent recharge than the other wells.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Table_4_ConcentrationsValues2014-18.xlsx: Depth to water was calculated as the minimum monthly values at the bedrock-aquifer domestic well and pumping rate was calculated as the arithmetic mean between each sampling date at the glacial-aquifer and bedrock-aquifer public-supply wells.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Table_1_DGmodel2014-18.xlsx</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Excel Worksheet.

These data were further used to examine whether the proportion of active observations varied by habitat type.</purpose>\n <supplinf>We attempted to locate radio marked snakes five times per week from April through October of each study year. At each location, we characterized behavior of each snake (resting, moving [slithering or swimming], or unknown) and indicated whether it was in terrestrial or aquatic habitat. We visually estimated the percent cover of microhabitats in eight categories (bare ground, open water, rock, litter (dead vegetation), terrestrial vegetation, emergent vegetation, submerged vegetation, and rice) within a circular quadrat of 1 m radius centered on the individual\xe2\x80\x99s location. We also collected data on the percent cover of more than 12 major vegetation types (species or higher taxonomic category, including tules (bulrushes; Schoenoplectus acutus), cattails (Typha spp.), water-primrose (Ludwigia spp.), sedges (Cyperaceae), rushes (Juncaceae), duckweed (Lemna spp.), mosquito fern (Azolla spp.), algae, forbs, shrubs and vines, cultivated rice, and others) within the same quadrat. Percent cover of vegetation types was estimated as the proportion of total vegetation composed of each vegetation type, rather than the total percent cover. For each individual snake location, we selected an available location at a random U(1,360) (minimum, maximum) azimuth and U(2,50) m distance from the snake location. The distance represents the 0.75 quantile of daily movement distances at this site based upon previous telemetry work (G. D. Wylie, U.S. Geological Survey, unpublished data). We collected the same data for each random location as for each observed location. In 2009, we limited each random location to the aquatic or terrestrial environment in which the individual was located; in 2010, we relaxed this restriction and considered all locations (both terrestrial and aquatic) to be available to the individual.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20090401</begdate>\n <enddate>20100930</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-121.725138</westbc>\n <eastbc>-121.702421</eastbc>\n <northbc>39.023441</northbc>\n <southbc>39.007414</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>reptile</themekey>\n <themekey>habitat selection</themekey>\n <themekey>giant gartersnake</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5829fc60e4b01fad87248b61</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>None</placekt>\n <placekey>California</placekey>\n <placekey>Central Valley</placekey>\n <placekey>Sacramento Valley</placekey>\n <placekey>Gilsizer Slough</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None</accconst>\n <useconst>The authors of these data require that users direct any questions pertaining to appropriate use or assistance with understanding limitations and interpretation of the data to the individuals/organization listed in the Point of Contact section.</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntorgp>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center</cntorg>\n <cntper>Brian J Halstead</cntper>\n </cntorgp>\n <cntpos>Supv.

Zebra mussels were first reported in Marion Lake (Dakota County, Minnesota) in September 2017 and surveys indicated the infestation was likely isolated near the public boat access.

We conducted an on-site bioassay to confirm treatment efficacy. The bioassay was conducted in mobile assay trailer that received a continuous flow of treated lake water and zebra mussels test animals that were collected from White Bear Lake (Ramsey County, MN). Zebra mussel mortality in the treated bioassay tanks achieved 99 percent mortality (95-percent Confidence Interval: 98 – 100 percent) and a predictive model indicates in-lake mortality as low as 85 percent may have occurred; therefore, our results indicate that the Marion Lake treatment may not have induced complete zebra mussel mortality. Post-treatment assessments and surveys are recommended to further verify treatment success and monitor lake conditions in regards to zebra mussel infestation. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Matthew T Barbour](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=67820) Originator : [Matthew T Barbour](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=67820), [Jeremy K Wise](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=14016), [James A Luoma](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=6339) Metadata Contact : [Matthew T Barbour](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=67820) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17261) USGS Mission Area : [Ecosystems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Ecosystems) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5b85b224e4b05f6e321d4056?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5b85b224e4b05f6e321d4056?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5b85b224e4b05f6e321d4056?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bioassay Verification of a Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) Eradication Treatment.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 29.33 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Alkalinity and Hardness.csv | | 595 Bytes | text/csv | | Copper.csv | | 2.08 KB | text/csv | | Length.csv | | 2.06 KB | text/csv | | Mortality.csv | | 1.79 KB | text/csv | | Water Chemistry.csv | | 3.57 KB | text/csv | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Bioassay Verification of a Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) Eradication Treatment | [https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181138](https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181138 "https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181138") | ## Purpose The purpose of the bioassay was to monitor and assess the effectiveness of a zebra mussel eradication treatment.

Zebra mussel mortality in the treated bioassay tanks achieved 99 percent mortality (95-percent Confidence Interval: 98 \xe2\x80\x93 100 percent) and a predictive model indicates in-lake mortality as low as 85 percent may have occurred; therefore, our results indicate that the Marion Lake treatment may not have induced complete zebra mussel mortality. Post-treatment assessments and surveys are recommended to further verify treatment success and monitor lake conditions in regards to zebra mussel infestation.</abstract>\n <purpose>The purpose of the bioassay was to monitor and assess the effectiveness of a zebra mussel eradication treatment. The data were collected to quantify chemical concentrations during the treatment, measure mortality of the treatment, and monitor water quality during the treatment.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20171010</begdate>\n <enddate>20171020</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>None planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-93.316497802734</westbc>\n <eastbc>-93.261566162109</eastbc>\n <northbc>44.684277371812</northbc>\n <southbc>44.647162306501</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>Lake Marion, MN</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>biota</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>zebra mussels</themekey>\n <themekey>bioassay</themekey>\n <themekey>eradication</themekey>\n <themekey>early-detection</themekey>\n <themekey>rapid-response</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>copper</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5b85b224e4b05f6e321d4056</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>Minnesota</placekey>\n <placekey>Dakota</placekey>\n <placekey>Lake Marion</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

Zebra mussels were only selected for use if 1) they were alive and healthy (responded to gentle stimulus and could hold shell closed when gentle pressure was applied to adductor muscle); 2) &gt;10mm in shell length. Treatment efficacy was assessed by observing zebra mussel mortality in the containment bags. Daily mortality assessments began 48 h after treatment was initiated (Day 2). One containment bag from each tank bioassay tank was removed and assessed for mortality daily. All mussels within each bag were evaluated for the lack of adductor mussel resistance to gentle valve pressure or failure to close valves after gentle prodding. Mussels were not returned to the tanks after the assessment. The assessment schema was changed beginning on Day 7 as a result of lengthening the bioassay due to a lack of complete mortality observations. Living mussels from the assessment on Day 7 were returned to their respective tanks. Mussel mortality was assessed in both of the remaining bags in each bioassay tank for the remainder of the study. The new schema observed cumulative mortality as dead mussels were discarded and live mussels were returned to their respective bags and bioassay tank.</complete>\n <posacc>\n <horizpa>\n <horizpar>No formal positional accuracy tests were conducted</horizpar>\n </horizpa>\n <vertacc>\n <vertaccr>No formal positional accuracy tests were conducted</vertaccr>\n </vertacc>\n </posacc>\n <lineage>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Collect data and samples 20171010 \xe2\x80\x93 20171020\nMortality observations\nCopper samples (acidified with nitric acid [1% v/v])\nWater chemistry data (temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Alkalinity, etc.)\nAnalyze samples for copper concentration on MP-AES\nAnalytical wavelength: 324.75 nm\nFive-point, quadratic-regression standard curve\nMeasure shell lengths from preserved samples</procdesc>\n <procdate>20171020</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <method>\n <methtype>both</methtype>\n <methdesc>Bioassay done in field, copper analysis and shell lengths done in lab</methdesc>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>American Public Health Association</origin>\n <origin>American Water Works Association</origin>\n <origin>Water Environment Federation</origin>\n <pubdate>2012</pubdate>\n <title>Standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater</title>\n <geoform>(E.

Both the seasonality and rainfall amounts of the two types of storms that induce shallow landslides in the area vary considerably.

Both the seasonality and rainfall amounts of the two types of storms that induce shallow landslides in the area vary considerably. Most of the documented historical landslides are the result of heavy rainfall caused by late summer-fall tropical cyclones. The majority of the remaining documented landslides are related to spring nor’easters and total storm rainfall amounts for these storms are generally lower than the rainfall amounts for the tropical cyclones. In order to assess how conditions that may affect the potential for shallow landslide initiation vary seasonally, we are monitoring shallow pore-water pressure and soil moisture, precipitation, and slope movement. Our monitoring is located at two sites of previously documented historical landsliding. The Mount Mitchill Scenic Overlook (MMSO) site is located on a slope interpreted to be the main scarp of a deep-seated, rotational landslide or slump that occurred in April 1782. The scarp slope is covered by a veneer of colluvium that has accumulated over the past few centuries. Shallow landslides have been documented nearby on the bluff and other evidence for shallow landslide movement includes scars on the upper slope and convex lobes lower on the slope. The Ocean Boulevard Bridge (OBB) site has experienced recurrent episodes of shallow landslide movement including in 2007 and May 2012. This data release presents the time series data from instrumentation installed at MMSO and OBB for a monitoring period that began on August 1, 2016, and lasted through December 31, 2018. Monitoring data collected in the time period prior to this data release is available in Fiore and others (2017). The instrumentation includes three observation wells, nine soil moisture probes, two rain gauges, and a cable extension transducer. At MMSO, we monitored shallow pore-water pressure in the lower part of the bluff, rainfall, effective rainfall beneath the deciduous forest canopy, and shallow soil moisture at three locations on the lower and middle parts of the bluff. At OBB, we monitored the shallow pore-water pressure at one location in the upper bluff and another location in the landslide deposit, shallow soil moisture at one location in the middle bluff and another location in the landslide deposit, and movement along the west flank of the May 2012 landslide where a displaced soil block forms the upper part of the landslide deposit. Soil samples were collected at six locations on September 28, 2017 using a stainless steel core barrel pushed vertically into sediments along leveled ground below the organic horizon. Samples were analyzed in the laboratory for various hydraulic and geotechnical properties. This data release presents the output for each instrument sensor type as recorded on the datalogger, as well as the laboratory results of the hydraulic and geotechnical properties of the soil samples collected. In some cases the output requires conversion to engineering units and we provide all the necessary factors, values, and equations to facilitate these conversions. The most significant storm during this monitoring period was a cloudburst on August 7, 2018, that produced numerous shallow slope failures in sandy colluvium across the bluffs. Data included in this release support an interpretive paper published in the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology regarding this cloudburst. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Francis Ashland](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=15689) Originator : [Alex R Fiore](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59764), [Francis Ashland](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=15689), [Pamela A Reilly](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=8510), [Benjamin B Mirus](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=7061) Metadata Contact : [Alex R Fiore](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59764) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Florence Bascom Geoscience Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17229) USGS Mission Area : [Natural Hazards](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Natural+Hazards) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/6047b722d34eb120311a5d73?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/6047b722d34eb120311a5d73?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/6047b722d34eb120311a5d73?files.sort=name&files.order=asc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files alphabetically") Click on title to download individual files attached to this item or download all files listed below as a compressed file. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Hydrologic, slope movement, and soil property data from the coastal bluffs of the Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, 2016-2018.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 44.31 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | MMSO\_BP\_DATA\_20181231.xlsx | | 2.3 MB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | MMSO\_CANOPY\_RAINFALL\_DATA\_20181231.xlsx | | 1.47 MB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | MMSO\_PWP\_DATA\_20181231.xlsx | | 1.98 MB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | MMSO\_RAINFALL\_DATA\_20181231.xlsx | | 1.1 MB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | MMSO\_VWC\_DATA\_20181231.xlsx | | 663.66 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | OBB\_CET\_DATA\_20181231.xlsx | | 1.33 MB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | OBB\_PWP\_DATA\_20181231.xlsx | | 3.33 MB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | OBB\_VWC\_DATA\_20181231.xlsx | | 633.27 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | SoilProperties.xlsx | | 11 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Capturing the transient hydrological response in sandy soils during a rare cloudburst associated with shallow slope failures—a case study in the Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, USA | [https://doi.org/10.1144/qjegh2020-127](https://doi.org/10.1144/qjegh2020-127 "https://doi.org/10.1144/qjegh2020-127") | Type: ScienceBase Repository | | | | --- | --- | | Groundwater levels, soil moisture, precipitation, and slope movement in the coastal bluffs of the Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, 2015-2016 | [https://doi.org/10.5066/F7959FQB](https://doi.org/10.5066/F7959FQB "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7959FQB") | ## Purpose The purpose of this study was to monitor seasonal variation in pore-water pressure and shallow soil moisture, rainfall, hydrologic storm response, and slope movement and to estimate soil hydraulic and geotechnical properties in the coastal bluffs of the Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. The hydrologic monitoring data provide insights into the role of antecedent soil moisture conditions on hydrologic storm response and seasonal variations in slope stability in the coastal bluffs. Data on effective rainfall beneath the deciduous forest canopy provide information on seasonal variation in canopy interception and the relationship between total storm rainfall and canopy interception. Current monitoring of the movement of a historical landslide that reactivated in 2012 may provide critical information on the instability of landslide deposits on the bluff and the relative level of hazard that these deposits pose as compared to the surrounding slope colluvium. The laboratory-derived soil hydraulic and geotechnical data provide quantitative information on the properties of the surficial colluvium and 2012 landslide deposit and the exposed Cretaceous stratigraphy on the scar. The results of the monitoring, combined with the soil property data and the recently developed provisional empirical rainfall thresholds for seasonal storms, can be used to improve our capability of anticipating future landslide occurrence. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/6047b722d34eb120311a5d73) [](/catalog/item/imap/6047b722d34eb120311a5d73) ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Harvest Set - [USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS+Science+Data+Catalog+%28SDC%29 "USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) (USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), Harvest Set, )") Theme - [canopy interception](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dcanopy+interception "canopy interception (canopy interception, Theme, General)") - [groundwater level](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dgroundwater+level "groundwater level (groundwater level, Theme, General)") - [hazards](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dhazards "hazards (hazards, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [hydrologic response](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dhydrologic+response "hydrologic response (hydrologic response, Theme, General)") - [landslide initiation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dlandslide+initiation "landslide initiation (landslide initiation, Theme, General)") - [monitoring](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmonitoring "monitoring (monitoring, Theme, General)") - [rainfall](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Drainfall "rainfall (rainfall, Theme, General)") - [shallow landslide](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dshallow+landslide "shallow landslide (shallow landslide, Theme, General)") - [soil moisture](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dsoil+moisture "soil moisture (soil moisture, Theme, General)") Place - [Borough of Atlantic Highlands](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBorough+of+Atlantic+Highlands "Borough of Atlantic Highlands (Borough of Atlantic Highlands, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Borough of Highlands](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DBorough+of+Highlands "Borough of Highlands (Borough of Highlands, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [New Jersey](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNew+Jersey "New Jersey (New Jersey, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Geomorphology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGeomorphology "Geomorphology (Geomorphology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Hydrology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHydrology "Hydrology (Hydrology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") ## Provenance ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/P9A601HC | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

At MMSO, the pore-water pressure is measured in a 1.25-in.-diameter 4-feet-deep observation well completed in the slope colluvium in the lower bluff. The screened interval of the observation well extends from a depth of approximately 2.9 to 3.9 feet below ground surface. A 50 psi (350 kPa) Geokon 4500S vibrating wire piezometer (VWP) was installed approximately 1 foot above the bottom of the observation well with the diaphragm located approximately 2.95 feet and 2.96 feet below ground surface prior to, then after, a September 14, 2016 maintenance, respectively. The VWP has a resolution of 0.025% and an accuracy of 0.1% of the full scale, or 0.0125 and 0.05 psi, respectively. The VWP connects to a Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger by interfacing with a Campbell Scientific AVW200-series 2-channel vibrating wire spectrum analyzer module. The module reduces or eliminates incorrect readings due to noise sources by using frequency-based measurements. The module outputs six values, including resonant frequency that is converted to digits. Digits can be converted to pressure or groundwater levels using factors provided on the sensor calibration sheets for each VWP and appropriate conversion values. At OBB, the pore-water pressure was measured using a 50 psi (350 kPa) Geokon 4500S VWP at two locations: (1) in a 2-in.-diameter 10.6-feet-deep observation well (OBB1) located in slope colluvium in the upper part of the bluff, near a source area scarp of a May 2012 landslide, and (2) in a 2-in.-diameter 7-feet-deep observation well (OBB2) located in the landslide deposit from the May 2012 landslide. The well screen interval of OBB1 extends from a depth of about 3 to 10.5 feet below ground surface. A VWP was located about 1.3 feet above the bottom of OBB1 with the diaphragm located about 9.26 feet below ground surface. The screened interval of OBB2 extends from a depth of about 2 to 7 feet below ground surface. A VWP was located about 0.18 feet above the bottom of OBB2 with the diaphragm located about 6.76 feet below ground surface. We measured barometric pressure using a third VWP located in the datalogger enclosure at MMSO to obtain data for barometric correction of the pore-water pressure data. The VWP was originally a 50 psi (350 kPa) Geokon 4500S that was replaced with a 25 psi (170 kPa) Geokon 4500AL VWP on September 14, 2016. Linear gage and thermal factors and zero pressure readings are provided for the VWPs in the General Information worksheet of each data file.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20181231</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Volumetric water content (VWC) of shallow soil is measured using Campbell Scientific CS655 water content reflectometers. The CS655 probe derives VWC from the probe\xe2\x80\x99s sensitivity to dielectric permittivity and has an accuracy of approximately \xc2\xb13 percent. Each probe is inserted into the upslope wall of shallow hand-excavated test pits using an insertion guide tool to create two parallel holes for the probe rods, which are oriented horizontally. At MMSO, five CS655 probes were installed in three locations (A, B, and C) on the bluff. Probe A_1_37 was installed at a depth of 37 centimeters in the lower test pit located near the base of the moderately steep slope and directly above a cleared area that was the site of a former residential building. The ground surface at the lower test pit was covered with English ivy and leaf litter and the test pit was near the downslope edge of the forested slope. Two probes were installed at different depths (25 and 50 cm) in each of the two upper test pits. Both test pits were located beneath the canopy of the forested slope. Probes B_2_25 and B_3_50 were installed in the middle test pit directly downslope of a large deciduous tree and several roots of the tree passed through the test pit. Probes C_4_25 and C_5_50 were installed in the upper test pit where shallow ironstone fragments were encountered and, additionally, nearby exploratory auger holes met shallow refusal on the ironstone. At OBB, four CS655 probes were installed in two locations (D and E) on the bluff. Probes D_1_58 and D_2_35 were installed at depths of 58 and 35 centimeters, respectively, in a test pit in soil colluvium near the middle of the moderately steep slope. Probes E_3_65 and E_4_25 were installed in a test pit in the landslide deposit at depths of 65 and 25 centimeters, respectively. Average volumetric water content (units equal cubic meters/cubic meters) are recorded hourly to a Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20181231</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Precipitation is monitored by Texas Electronics TR-525USW rain gauges installed at two locations at MMSO. One gauge is located in a cleared area (MMSO_RAINFALL_DATA_20181231) and the other is located beneath the forest canopy (MMSO_CANOPY_RAINFALL_DATA_20181231). The rain gauges have a resolution of 0.01 inch and an accuracy of 1 percent for rainfall intensities up to 2 inches/hour. Fifteen-minute rainfall totals are recorded to a Campbell Scientific CR1000 datalogger from the rain gauge in the cleared area. Rainfall events equal to 0.01 inch are recorded to a HOBO event datalogger at the rain gauge beneath the forest canopy. The rain gauge collectors are subject to periodic clogging due to vegetative debris and insect activity. The rain gauges are not designed to accurately measure the snow water equivalent of snow fall and thus likely underestimate actual total precipitation during the winter. Maintenance of the rain gauges is only performed periodically during site visits to retrieve data, install or maintain equipment, or perform other work. No field calibrations were performed on the rain gauges during the current monitoring period.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20181231</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Movement is monitored at OBB along the west flank of a displaced soil block that forms the upper part of a historical landslide that damaged the Henry Hudson trail located at the base of the slope in May 2012. Movement of the landslide is monitored using a Measurement Specialties PT8101 cable extension transducer (CET) with a 60-inch range. The CET has an accuracy of 0.1 percent of its full stroke that may result in deviations up to 1.5 millimeters (mm). The transducer is mounted approximately 7 feet above the ground surface on a 2-inch diameter stainless steel pole located on the displaced soil block. The CET was initially connected to another pole located outside the limits of the 2012 landslide by a horizontal stainless steel cable, which was replaced with an Invar cable on August 19, 2016. The stainless steel cable was subject to temperature-related changes in length of up to 1.7 mm.

The format is a shapefile for all sites combined (.shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj files). This dataset is part of a larger data release of metabolism model inputs and outputs for 356 streams and rivers across the United States (https://doi.org/10.5066/F70864KX). The complete release includes: modeled estimates of gross primary productivity, ecosystem respiration, and the gas exchange coefficient; model input data and alternative input data; model fit and diagnostic information; site catchment boundaries and site point locations; and potential predictors of metabolism such as discharge and light availability. ## Summary This dataset provides shapefile outlines of the catchments contributing to sites where metabolism was or could have been estimated.

The format is a shapefile for all sites combined (.shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj files).\n\nThis dataset is part of a larger data release of metabolism model inputs and outputs for 356 streams and rivers across the United States (https://doi.org/10.5066/F70864KX). The complete release includes: modeled estimates of gross primary productivity, ecosystem respiration, and the gas exchange coefficient; model input data and alternative input data; model fit and diagnostic information; site catchment boundaries and site point locations; and potential predictors of metabolism such as discharge and light availability.</abstract>\n <purpose>A continental-scale quantification of energy flow in streams and rivers can facilitate better understanding of links between aquatic energy cycling and ecosystem services, the seasonality and dynamism of stream energy flow, and the effects of human activities on aquatic activity. This data release provides multi-day time series estimates of energy flow as metabolism (gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration) for 356 streams and rivers across the United States.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20071001</begdate>\n <enddate>20170101</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>model estimates</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>Update planned for year 2023</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-148.958999872016</westbc>\n <eastbc>-67.1533032611876</eastbc>\n <northbc>60.4347509701639</northbc>\n <southbc>26.0554827894828</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>Stream and river monitoring sites in the U.S. Geological Survey\'s observation network</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Biocomplexity Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>Water courses</themekey>\n <themekey>Rivers</themekey>\n <themekey>Streams</themekey>\n <themekey>Energy metabolism</themekey>\n <themekey>Primary production</themekey>\n <themekey>Photosynthesis</themekey>\n <themekey>Aerobic respiration</themekey>\n <themekey>Gas exchange</themekey>\n <themekey>Carbon</themekey>\n <themekey>Carbon dioxide</themekey>\n <themekey>Oxygen</themekey>\n <themekey>Dissolved oxygen</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>environment</themekey>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>007</themekey>\n <themekey>012</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5a5e37bbe4b06e28e9be48c6</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Department of Commerce, 1995, Countries, Dependencies, Areas of Special Sovereignty, and Their Principal Administrative Divisions, Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 10-4, Washington, D.C., National Institute of Standards and Technology</placekt>\n <placekey>United States</placekey>\n <placekey>US</placekey>\n </place>\n <place>\n <placekt>U.S. Department of Commerce, 1987, Codes for the identification of the States, the District of Columbia and the outlying areas of the United States, and associated areas (Federal Information Processing Standard 5-2): Washington, D.

These data are intended for science researchers, policy makers, and hydraulic engineers interested in assessing the condition of the channel bed and the scour countermeasures in place around the bridge foundations.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20100317</begdate>\n <enddate>20150603</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>As needed</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-94.5374</westbc>\n <eastbc>-94.5300</eastbc>\n <northbc>39.1482</northbc>\n <southbc>39.1436</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>ADCP</themekey>\n <themekey>bathymetry</themekey>\n <themekey>Acoustic</themekey>\n <themekey>Doppler</themekey>\n <themekey>USGS</themekey>\n <themekey>ASCII</themekey>\n <themekey>Geology</themekey>\n <themekey>inland waters</themekey>\n <themekey>Bathymetry</themekey>\n <themekey>Water Depth</themekey>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>Multibeam</themekey>\n <themekey>XYZ</themekey>\n <themekey>U.S. Geological Survey</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>oceans</themekey>\n <themekey>structure</themekey>\n <themekey>elevation</themekey>\n <themekey>geoscientificInformation</themekey>\n <themekey>imageryBaseMapsEarthCover</themekey>\n <themekey>location</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5cc77790e4b09b8c0b77e973</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)</placekt>\n <placekey>Kansas City</placekey>\n <placekey>USA</placekey>\n <placekey>Missouri River</placekey>\n <placekey>Missouri</placekey>\n <placekey>MO</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None</accconst>\n <useconst>None</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Richard J.
