Uncontrolled wildfire in arid and semiarid ecosystems has become an increasing concern in recent decades.

However, the complex soil-geomorphic-vegetation patterns and low and variable moisture conditions in these regions makes restoration challenging. To further inform these post-fire management decisions, we present results from 5-years of vegetation and sediment flux monitoring following the Milford Flat Fire in west-central Utah, USA. Our sampling design includes monitoring plots in areas not burned, areas burned but where no rehabilitation was attempted, and burned areas where various rehabilitation approaches were implemented. At each of the 25 plots, vegetation cover and composition data were collected annually, and wind-driven sediment flux was measured using passive dust traps. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Michael C Duniway](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=24855) Originator : [Michael C Duniway](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=24855), [Emily C Palmquist](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59188), [Mark E Miller](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Mark+E+Miller) Metadata Contact : [Terry Arundel](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=332) 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) USGS Mission Area : [Ecosystems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Ecosystems) SDC Data Owner : [Southwest Biological Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17423) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/554be093e4b082ec54127ee0?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/554be093e4b082ec54127ee0?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/554be093e4b082ec54127ee0?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | USGS\_2015\_MDuniway\_Milford\_Flat\_Fire\_Metadata.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 167.46 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | USGS\_2015\_MDuniway\_Evaluating\_rehabilitation\_efforts\_following\_the\_Milford\_Flat\_Fire\_Data.xml | | 1.14 MB | application/xml | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Duniway, M.

Vegetation sampling was conducted yearly between late June and early August from 2008 through 2012. Foliar cover, soil surface cover, and plant composition was assessed using the line-point intercept method with a point spacing of 1 m, for a total of 150 points per plot. Vegetation data were entered into the Database for Inventory, Monitoring, and Assessment version 2.4 and basic reports were generated for further data analysis. Horizontal wind-borne sediment fluxes were monitored with a passive sampler installed at the center of each plot with collection boxes mounted at 0.15, 0.5, and 1.0 m above the ground surface (Big Springs Number Eight [BSNE]). Dust samples were collected at approximately 4 month intervals of each year (spring, summer, and fall). Thirty surface soil samples (0 - 10 cm) were collected along transects in August 2008 (one site in September 2009), composited by plot, and analyzed for particle size distribution using a laser-light scattering method (capable of measuring particles between 0.02 and 2000 \xc2\xb5m in diameter; Mastersizer 2000, Malvern Instruments Inc., Westborough MA). Samples were prepared by digesting organic matter using 30% H2O2 and dispersed using a Na-hexametaphosphate solution.

A three end member model using 207Pb/206Pb and concentration as tracers resulted in fugitive dust samples plotting in the mixing field of well characterized heterogeneous end members. End members selected for this investigation include the 207Pb/206Pb for 1) a Pb-mixture representing mine tailings, 2) aerosol Pb impacted soils within close proximity to the Buick secondary recycling smelter, and 3) an average of soils, rock cores and drill cuttings representing the background characteristics. Aqua regia total concentrations and 207Pb/206Pb of mining area dust suggest that 35.4- 84.3% of the source Pb in dust is associated with the mine tailings mixture, 9.1 to 52.7% is associated with the smelter mixture, and 0 to 21.6% is associated with background materials. Isotope ratios varied minimally within the operational phases of sequential extraction suggesting that mixing of all three Pb-mixtures occurs throughout. Labile forms of Pb were attributed to all three end members. The extractable carbonate phase had as much as 96.6% of the total concentration associated with mine tailings, 51.8% associated with smelter deposition, and 34.2% with background. The next most labile geochemical phase (Fe + Mn Oxides) showed similar results with as much as 85.3 % associated with mine tailings, 56.8% associated with smelter deposition, and 4.2% associated with the background soil. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Emitt C Witt](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11382) Metadata Contact : [Emitt C Witt](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11382) Originator : [Emitt C Witt](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11382), [Michael Pribil](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=8284), [John P.

A three end member model using 207Pb/206Pb and concentration as tracers resulted in fugitive dust samples plotting in the mixing field of well characterized heterogeneous end members. End members selected for this investigation include the 207Pb/206Pb for 1) a Pb-mixture representing mine tailings, 2) aerosol Pb impacted soils within close proximity to the Buick secondary recycling smelter, and 3) an average of soils, rock cores and drill cuttings representing the background characteristics. Aqua regia total concentrations and 207Pb/206Pb of mining area dust suggest that 35.4- 84.3% of the source Pb in dust is associated with the mine tailings mixture, 9.1 to 52.7% is associated with the smelter mixture, and 0 to 21.6% is associated with background materials. Isotope ratios varied minimally within the operational phases of sequential extraction suggesting that mixing of all three Pb-mixtures occurs throughout. Labile forms of Pb were attributed to all three end members. The extractable carbonate phase had as much as 96.6% of the total concentration associated with mine tailings, 51.8% associated with smelter deposition, and 34.2% with background. The next most labile geochemical phase (Fe + Mn Oxides) showed similar results with as much as 85.3 % associated with mine tailings, 56.8% associated with smelter deposition, and 4.2% associated with the background soil.</abstract><purpose>Data are Pb isotope measurements of road dusts and background geologic materials collected in the Viburnum Trend resource extraction area of southeast Missouri and selected non-mining locations.

These inventories provide baseline data that can be used to identify changes in historical and future landslide magnitude, mobility, and frequency. This data release presents GIS and attribute data for an inventory of rock avalanches in a 5000 km2 area of western Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska. We created the inventory from 30 m resolution Landsat imagery acquired from June 1984 to September 2016.  For each calendar year, we visually examined a minimum of one Landsat image obtained between the months of May and October. We examined a total of 104 Landsat images. The contrast between the spectral signatures of freshly exposed rock avalanche source areas and deposits and surrounding undisturbed snow and ice was typically significant enough to detect surficial changes. We identified and mapped rock avalanches by locating areas with 1) high contrast compared to surrounding snow and ice, 2) different spectral signatures between successive Landsat images, and 3) lobate forms typical of rock-avalanche deposits. Using these criteria, we mapped a total of 24 rock avalanches ranging in size from 0.1 to 22 km2. Attribute data for each rock avalanche includes: a date, or range in possible dates, of occurrence; the name of the Landsat image(s) used to identify and map the avalanche; the total area covered by the rock avalanche (including the source area, travel path, and deposit); the maximum travel distance measured along a curvilinear centerline (L); and the maximum change in elevation between the start and end points of the centerline (H). We also include a table containing a list of all the Landsat images examined. We acknowledge that our mapped polygons will be different, and less accurate, than polygons that could be mapped from higher-resolution satellite, aerial, and hand-held imagery. We specifically chose not to use high-resolution imagery because we desired a long-term historical inventory that was unbiased by changes in image resolution. Eventually, new mapping should be done to create an inventory that fully utilizes recently available high-resolution imagery. Data included in this release form the basis of an interpretive paper available in the conference proceedings of the 3rd North American Symposium on Landslides held in Roanoke, Virginia in June, 2017. ## Contacts Originator : [Erin K Bessette-Kirton](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=71381), [Jeffrey A Coe](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=1927) Metadata Contact : [Geologic Hazards Science Center (GHSC) Data Steward](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Geologic+Hazards+Science+Center+%28GHSC%29+Data+Steward) Point of Contact : [Geologic Hazards Science Center (GHSC) Data Steward](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Geologic+Hazards+Science+Center+%28GHSC%29+Data+Steward) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey+-+ScienceBase) USGS Mission Area : [Natural Hazards](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Natural+Hazards) SDC Data Owner : [Landslide Hazards Program](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17175) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/57c9ad65e4b0f2f0cec1923b?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/57c9ad65e4b0f2f0cec1923b?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/57c9ad65e4b0f2f0cec1923b?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Summary\_metadata.xml<br>“Summary metadata”<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 26.76 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | LandsatImageryUsed.xlsx<br>“Table of Landsat images used” | | 15.26 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | GlacierBayRockAvalanche.gdb.zip<br>“Rock avalanche ArcGIS geodatabase” | | 102.92 KB | application/zip | | Metadata.zip<br>“Rock avalanche metadata” | | 26.7 KB | application/zip | | GlacierBayRockAvalanches.xlsx<br>“Table of rock avalanche data” | | 15.34 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | ## Purpose The purpose of this study was to create an inventory of historical rock avalanches in the western part of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska. This inventory serves as a basis for research on the response of slope stability to climate change. The inventory spans a 33-year period from 1984 to 2016 and provides baseline data that can be used to identify changes between historical and future landslide magnitude, mobility, and frequency. GIS map data include the geometry and location of 24 rock avalanches that occurred in the western part of Glacier Bay National Park from June 1984 to September 2016. Attribute data for each mapped rock avalanche include: the date, or range in possible dates, of occurrence; total area of the source and deposit; curvilinear travel distance; and the change in elevation from the avalanche head scarp to toe. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/57c9ad65e4b0f2f0cec1923b) [](/catalog/item/imap/57c9ad65e4b0f2f0cec1923b) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products ## Associated Items - _related_ [Slow-moving landslides and subsiding fan deltas mapped from Sentinel-1 InSAR in the Glacier Bay region, Alaska and British Columbia, 2018-2020](/catalog/item/623ca899d34e915b67d39648 "Slow-moving landslides and subsiding fan deltas mapped from Sentinel-1 InSAR in the Glacier Bay region, Alaska and British Columbia, 2018-2020") - _related_ [Rock mass quality and structural geology observations in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska from the summers of 2021 and 2022](/catalog/item/6693fde2d34eab7a881cb610 "Rock mass quality and structural geology observations in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska from the summers of 2021 and 2022") - _related_ [Inventory of rock avalanches in the central Chugach Mountains, northern Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1984-2024](/catalog/item/66a26931d34ec831f2c2ce0c "Inventory of rock avalanches in the central Chugach Mountains, northern Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1984-2024") - [View Associated Items](/catalog/itemLinks?itemId=57c9ad65e4b0f2f0cec1923b) ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Place - [Alaska](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DAlaska "Alaska (Alaska, Place, )") - [Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGlacier+Bay+National+Park+and+Preserve "Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Place, )") Subject - [climate change](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dclimate+change "climate change (climate change, Subject, )") - [frequency](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dfrequency "frequency (frequency, Subject, )") - [glaciers](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dglaciers "glaciers (glaciers, Subject, )") - [icefield](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dicefield "icefield (icefield, Subject, )") - [inventory](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dinventory "inventory (inventory, Subject, )") - [landslide](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dlandslide "landslide (landslide, Subject, )") - [magnitude](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmagnitude "magnitude (magnitude, Subject, )") - [mobility](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmobility "mobility (mobility, Subject, )") - [permafrost](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dpermafrost "permafrost (permafrost, Subject, )") - [rock avalanche](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Drock+avalanche "rock avalanche (rock avalanche, Subject, )") - [size](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dsize "size (size, Subject, )") 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, )") 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 Data sourceInput directly ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/F7C827F8 | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

For each calendar year, we visually examined a minimum of one Landsat image obtained between the months of May and October. We examined a total of 104 Landsat images. The contrast between the spectral signatures of freshly exposed rock avalanche source areas and deposits and surrounding, undisturbed snow and ice is typically significant enough to detect surficial changes. We identified and mapped rock avalanches by locating areas with 1) high contrast compared to surrounding snow and ice, 2) different spectral signatures between successive Landsat images, and 3) lobate forms typical of rock-avalanche deposits. Using these criteria, we mapped a total of 24 rock avalanches ranging in size from 0.1 to 22 km2. \nAttribute data for each rock avalanche includes: a date, or range in possible dates, of occurrence; the name of the Landsat image(s) used to identify and map the avalanche; the total area covered by the rock avalanche (including the source area and deposit); the maximum travel distance measured along a curvilinear centerline (L); and the change in elevation between the start and end points of the centerline (H). We also include a table containing a list of all the Landsat images examined. We acknowledge that our mapped polygons will be different, and less accurate, than polygons that could be mapped from higher-resolution satellite, aerial, and hand-held imagery. We specifically chose not to use high resolution imagery because we desired a long-term historical inventory that was unbiased by changes in image resolution. Eventually, new mapping should be done to create an inventory that fully utilizes recently available high-resolution imagery. \nData included in this release form the basis of an interpretive paper available in the conference proceedings of the 3rd North American Symposium on Landslides held in Roanoke, Virginia in June, 2017.</abstract>\n <purpose>The purpose of this study was to create an inventory of historical rock avalanches in the western part of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska. This inventory serves as a basis for research on the response of slope stability to climate change. The inventory spans a 33-year period from 1984 to 2016 and provides baseline data that can be used to identify changes between historical and future landslide magnitude, mobility, and frequency. GIS map data include the geometry and location of 24 rock avalanches that occurred in the western part of Glacier Bay National Park from June 1984 to September 2016. Attribute data for each mapped rock avalanche include: the date, or range in possible dates, of occurrence; total area of the source and deposit; curvilinear travel distance; and the change in elevation from the avalanche head scarp to toe.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>19840601</begdate>\n <enddate>20160931</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>-137.690917496</westbc>\n <eastbc>-136.83514448</eastbc>\n <northbc>58.98980741</northbc>\n <southbc>58.523578065</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>General</themekt>\n <themekey>rock avalanche</themekey>\n <themekey>climate change</themekey>\n <themekey>glacier</themekey>\n <themekey>Landsat</themekey>\n <themekey>remote sensing</themekey>\n <themekey>landslide inventory</themekey>\n <themekey>false color composite</themekey>\n <themekey>permafrost</themekey>\n <themekey>landslide</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:57c9ad65e4b0f2f0cec1923b</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Location</placekt>\n <placekey>Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve</placekey>\n <placekey>Alaska</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

We specifically chose to use imagery with a uniform resolution to produce a long-term inventory that is unbiased by recently available high-resolution imagery. The use of both 30 m and high-resolution imagery could have created a biased increase in the frequency of mapped rock avalanches during recent years of our study (e.g., 2010-2016) in comparison to previous years (e.g., 1984-1990). For example, we did not use the 15 m panchromatic band (Band 8) that became available on Landsat 7 and 8 or 0.5 m resolution Digital Globe WorldView imagery for any of our mapping. \nWe used Landsat\xe2\x80\x99s short-wave infrared bands, Band 5 (Landsat 5/7) and Band 6 (Landsat 8), for mapping because these bands are able to penetrate thin clouds and discriminate changes in ground moisture content. We found that the short-wave infrared bands are most effective for identifying rock avalanches on glaciated terrain in the maritime climate of southeast Alaska. Individual short-wave infrared band images and multi-band false color images were used to identify and delineate rock avalanches. Band combinations 453 (Landsat 5/7) and 564 (Landsat 8) were found to be most effective for differentiating between snow/ice and bare ground. These false color combinations show snow/ice in magenta and bare earth in green or orange.\nWe examined a minimum of one image from May through October for each calendar year between 1984 and 2016 to identify preliminary rock avalanche events. We then acquired subsequent imagery to refine the area and date range of each initially identified rock avalanche. We were able to determine the exact dates of three recent events from other sources. In these cases, we note the exact date and source in the Notes column of the attribute table. \nLandsat images acquired from the late spring to early fall, with minimal cloud cover, were most effective for mapping. The percent cloud cover present in each entire Landsat scene, as recorded in the image metadata, is included in the attribute table. A visual approximation of cloud cover specifically over the 5000 sq. km study area is also included in the attribute table since the cloud cover over the area of interest was often significantly less than over the entire scene.\nThe spectral signature of freshly exposed rock avalanche source areas and deposits typically contrasts greatly with the spectral signature of snow and ice. We identified and mapped rock avalanches by locating areas with 1) high contrast compared to surrounding, undisturbed snow and ice, 2) different spectral signatures between successive Landsat images, and 3) lobate forms typical of rock-avalanche deposits. Each rock avalanche was mapped as a polygon. Because of the relatively poor 30 m resolution of Landsat imagery, we could not detect rock avalanches smaller than 0.1 km2. \nThe maximum travel distance (L) for each rock avalanche was measured along the curvilinear centerline of the mapped polygon and avalanche relief (H, which is defined as the change in elevation between the start and end points of the centerline) was measured from a 5 m Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The centerlines of each rock avalanche are included in this data release as polylines in a separate feature class. The minimum and maximum elevations along each centerline are also included in a point feature class. The DEM was derived from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED). The DEM is not included in this data release, but is available from http://nationalmap.gov/elevation.html. The specific USGS NED products that we used were Original Product Resolution (OPR) AK_IFSAR-GB-337_2012 and OPR AK_IFSAR-GB-338_2012.\nIn several cases (as noted in the attribute table), rock avalanche head scarps were not clearly visible in the examined imagery because of shadowing or a lack of contrast between either ground covered in snow/ice and disturbed bare ground or undisturbed and disturbed bare ground. In these cases, the head scarp location was approximated based on the source area topography and the physical constraints of rock-avalanche behavior. For several of the mapped rock avalanches we identified progressive, downslope movement of all or part of the avalanche extent one or more years immediately following the initial rock avalanche failure. In these cases, we only included the initial rock avalanche in our inventory. \nWe acknowledge that our mapped polygons will be different, and less accurate, than polygons that could be mapped from higher-resolution satellite and aerial imagery, and, in some cases, hand-held imagery acquired from the ground or small aircraft. Eventually, new mapping should be done to create an inventory that fully utilizes recently available high-resolution imagery.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20160901</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n

The distribution boundary was generated to provide reliable estimations of grizzly bear occupancy throughout time and for use as a monitoring tool in grizzly bear management and conservation. The boundary was delineated by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team (IGBST) using an interpolation method based on grizzly bear telemetry and GPS locations as well as verified observations and signs of grizzly bears inside the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem during 2000 to 2014. ## Summary The grizzly bear distribution boundary delineates the estimated geographic extent of occupied range of the Yellowstone grizzly bear population for the period 2000-2014.

A shapefile of verified grizzly bear location data for the period 2000\xe2\x80\x932014 was compiled by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team and consisted of GPS and very high frequency telemetry locations; locations of observations or tracks reported or verified by experienced agency personnel; locations associated with grizzly bear-human conflicts, mortalities, and scats or hair samples attributed to grizzly bears via DNA analysis.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>2. We used the Create Fishnet tool in the Data Management/Sampling toolbox to construct a polygon fishnet (grid) comprised of 3-km x 3-km squares for an area containing all verified grizzly bear locations in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). The grid-cell size of 3-km was based on the mean daily activity radius of 1.5 km for male grizzly bears in the GYE.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>3. We then overlaid the 2000-2014 location point data on the fishnet grid and used the Select by Location functionality to identify cells containing 1 or more location data points. Cells with at least one location point were assigned a value of 1 and unoccupied cells a value of 0 to denote grizzly bear presence/absence.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>4. The attributed polygon fishnet was converted to a raster using the Feature to Raster tool in the Conversion/To Raster toolbox. The presence/absence attribute of 1 or 0 were maintained for each 3-km x 3-km raster cell.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>5. To account for unoccupied cells resulting from missing data within known grizzly bear distribution, we performed zonal analysis by applying the Focal Statistics tool in the Spatial Analyst toolbox to sum, for each input cell, the value of the target cell and all 8 adjacent cells. The resulting zonal raster thus had potential cell values ranging from 0 to 9.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>6. We then applied the Raster to Point tool in the Conversion/From Raster toolbox on the zonal raster to generate a center-point feature for each 3-km x 3-km cell with the zonal sum attribute maintained for each center-point.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2015</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>7. We then used the Kriging Method in the Geostatistical Wizard (accessed from the Geostatistical Analyst toolbar) in ArcGIS to interpolate a predicted distribution surface from known points of grizzly bear presence. In the Kriging/CoKriging dialog box, the centroid point file was specified as the Source Dataset and the attribute field containing centroid values of 0-9 was entered as the Data Field. In the Kriging step 2 dialog box, we selected \xe2\x80\x9cOrdinary\xe2\x80\x9d for Kriging Type; \xe2\x80\x9cPrediction\xe2\x80\x9d for Output Surface Type; and \xe2\x80\x9cNone\xe2\x80\x9d for Transformation type and Order of trend removal. The resulting kriged layer was reclassified to integer values and exported as a \xe2\x80\x9cFilled Contour\xe2\x80\x9d vector of \xe2\x80\x9cDraft\xe2\x80\x9d contour quality to avoid over-smoothing.

The decay is controlled by the resistivity of the earth. One or more receivers (Rx) at the center of the Tx loop measure the secondary magnetic field as a function of time (dB/dt). Voltage that is induced in a coil in the receiver is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field (dB/dt). Decaying voltage measurements at the receiver are converted to apparent resistivity, which can be inverted to recover the depth-dependent resistivity structure of the earth. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Carole D Johnson](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=5110) Originator : [Carole D Johnson](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=5110), [Eric A White](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=11167), [Stephanie N Phillips](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=71056), [Katherine L Pappas](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=73379), [Robert B Hull](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=68134), [Denis R LeBlanc](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=5967), [John W.

Measurement cycles were stacked 15 times, and 3 to 5 measurements were taken. In post processing, TEM survey data were filtered, stacked, and averaged for both transmitted currents and measurements at both receivers. The four decay curves (for both currents and both receivers) were inverted together. \n\nThe TEM data were processed with ViewTEM v2.0.2.0 (http://hgg.au.dk/software) to generate an average time-series decay curve with the removal of noisy data points, including removal of early time data prior to the complete termination the current and late-time data that were below the noise floor (or in the background noise). The TEM data were inverted without constraint using both smooth model and layered model approaches using methods described by White and others, 2016. The smooth model had 20 layers, and the layered model had 5 layers. The starting model for both inversion approaches used the average resistivity for the sounding. A depth of investigation analysis was completed for the sounding using methods described by Christiansen and Auken (2012). This data release includes the raw and processed TEM data and inverted soundings showing resistivity (in ohm-meters) with depth.\n\nReferences:\n\nChristiansen, A.

Located in south-central Utah and north-central Arizona, Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River created by the flooding of a natural canyon by the construction of Glen Canyon Dam. The new Lake Powell TBDEM consists of the best available multi-source topographic and bathymetric elevation data for Lake Powell onshore and offshore areas. The Lake Powell TBDEM integrates three different data sources including topographic light detection and ranging (lidar) point cloud data, multibeam bathymetric surveys, and historic topographic surveys obtained from the Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and USGS Woods Hole Coastal Marine Science Center. The topographic, bathymetric, and historic topographic surveys were sorted and prioritized based on survey date, accuracy, spatial distribution, and point density to develop a TBDEM model based on the best available elevation data. The Lake Powell TBDEM spatial resolution is 1-meter with the general location ranging from Glen Canyon Dam northwest of Page, Arizona to White Canyon, Utah with elevations from 948.28 meters to 1440.94 meters referenced to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), National Geodetic Survey Geoid 12B. The topographic lidar survey was acquired from 4/2/18 to 4/3/18. The bathymetry survey was acquired from 10/8/17 to 11/15/17. The historic topographic surveys ranged from 1947-1959. Some of the nearshore void zone (not covered by lidar or multibeam) was filled with historic topographic surveys digitized from historical maps from 1947-1959 and a kriging interpolation as published by the USGS Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project at https://doi.org/10.2112/SI76-008.

Located in south-central Utah and north-central Arizona, Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River created by the flooding of a natural canyon by the construction of Glen Canyon Dam. The new Lake Powell TBDEM consists of the best available multi-source topographic and bathymetric elevation data for Lake Powell onshore and offshore areas. The Lake Powell TBDEM integrates three different data sources including topographic light detection and ranging (lidar) point cloud data, multibeam bathymetric surveys, and historic topographic surveys obtained from the Department of the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and USGS Woods Hole Coastal Marine Science Center. The topographic, bathymetric, and historic topographic surveys were sorted and prioritized based on survey date, accuracy, spatial distribution, and point density to develop a TBDEM model based on the best available elevation data. The Lake Powell TBDEM spatial resolution is 1-meter with the general location ranging from Glen Canyon Dam northwest of Page, Arizona to White Canyon, Utah with elevations from 948.28 meters to 1440.94 meters referenced to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), National Geodetic Survey Geoid 12B. The topographic lidar survey was acquired from 4/2/18 to 4/3/18. The bathymetry survey was acquired from 10/8/17 to 11/15/17. The historic topographic surveys ranged from 1947-1959. Some of the nearshore void zone (not covered by lidar or multibeam) was filled with historic topographic surveys digitized from historical maps from 1947-1959 and a kriging interpolation as published by the USGS Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project at https://doi.org/10.2112/SI76-008.

Airborne GPS and IMU data were collected during the acquisition and supported by Topcon Viper GPS. The 2018 Bureau of Reclamation Lake Powell project encompassed an area of 203,520 acres, 824 sq km (318 sq mi.). Ground Conditions: water at normal levels; no unusual inundation; no snow; leaf off. Class Code:1 Class Item: Undetermined/Unclassified Class Code:2 Class Item: Bare Earth Class Code:7 Class Item: Low Noise Class Code:9 Class Item:Water Class Code:10 Class Item:Rail (Break line buffer) Class Code:17 Class Item:Bridges Class Code:18 Class Item:High Noise. A ground control survey was performed to support the lidar acquisition. The control network involved a total of twenty-eight (28) check points (21 NVA + 7 VVA). The points were a combination of the following ground cover classification: Open Terrain, Urban Terrain, Bare Earth, Brush and High Grass. The source lidar non-vegetated vertical accuracy (NVA) and vegetated vertical accuracy are as follows: Non-vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) and Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA) Broad Land Cover Type # of Points RMSEz 95% Confidence Level 95th Percentile Broad Land Cover Type NVA of Point Cloud; Type # of Points 21; RMSEz 0.048; 95% Confidence Level 0.094 Broad Land Cover Type NVA of Bare Earth; Type # of Points 21; RMSEz 0.051; 95% Confidence Level 0.099 Broad Land Cover Type NVA of DEM; Type # of Points 12; RMSEz 0.068; 95% Confidence Level 0.134 Broad Land Cover Type VVA of Bare Earth; Type # of Points 7; RMSEz 0.061; 95th Percentile 0.092</srccontr>\n </srcinfo>\n <srcinfo>\n <srccite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>U.S. Geological Survey, Andrews, B.D., Baldwin, W.E., Worley, C.R., Baskin, R.L., Denny, J.F., Foster, D.S., Irwin, B.J., Moore, E.M., and Nichols, A.R.</origin>\n <pubdate>20181022</pubdate>\n <title>2017 Lake Powell Arizona-Utah Multibeam Bathymetry</title>\n <geoform>raster digital data</geoform>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>Denver, CO</pubplace>\n <publish>USGS ScienceBase</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <othercit>Andrews, B.D., Baldwin, W.E., Worley, C.R., Baskin, R.L., Denny, J.F., Foster, D.S., Irwin, B.J., Moore, E.M., and Nichols, A.R., 2018, High-resolution geophysical data collected in Lake Powell, Utah-Arizona, U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity 2017-049-FA: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P90BU2VS.</othercit>\n <onlink>https://doi.org/10.5066/P90BU2VS</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </srccite>\n <typesrc>Digital and/or Hardcopy Resources</typesrc>\n <srctime>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20171008</begdate>\n <enddate>20171115</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <srccurr>ground condition</srccurr>\n </srctime>\n <srccitea>USGS Lake Powell Bathymetry</srccitea>\n <srccontr>High-resolution geophysical mapping of Lake Powell in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah and Arizona was conducted between October 8 and November 15, 2017, using a dual-head Reson T20-P multibeam echosounder as part of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation to provide high-quality data needed to reassess the area-capacity tables for the Lake Powell reservoir. These data are published in ScienceBase located at https://doi.org/10.5066/P90BU2VS. Vertical accuracy of the raw data based on system specifications may be approximately 1 percent of water depth (ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 meters based on the water depth range of less than 5 meters to approximately 150 meters within the survey area). The Applanix Wavemaster POS MV Attitude and Positioning system, used to correct for vessel roll, pitch, heave, and yaw, has a theoretical vertical accuracy of a few mm. Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) GPS height corrections (from Applanix POSPac smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET) files) were used to reference soundings to the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) ellipsoid and remove water depth fluctuations in lake levels during the survey. Fifty-six sound speed profiles acquired with an AML Minos X SVPT sound velocity profiler were used during processing to minimize acoustic refraction artifacts in the bathymetry data. Changes in vessel draft due to water and fuel usage were not considered. Additionally, uncertainty associated with the vertical transformation of the bathymetric grid from WGS 84 (ITRF 2000) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) using VDatum transformation tool (NOAA) is approximately 7.6 cm as calculated by the VDatum tool (v. 3.8)</srccontr>\n </srcinfo>\n <srcinfo>\n <srccite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>U.S. Geological Survey, Root, J.C., Hynek, S.A., DiViesti, D.N., Gushue, T.M.</origin>\n <pubdate>20190701</pubdate>\n <title>Digital Elevation Model of Glen Canyon Prior to the Flooding of Lake Powell from Historic Topographic Surveys, Utah and Arizona</title>\n <geoform>raster digital data</geoform>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>Denver, CO</pubplace>\n <publish>USGS ScienceBase</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <othercit>Root, J.C., Hynek, S.A., DiViesti, D.N., Gushue, T.M., 2019, Digital Elevation Model of Glen Canyon Prior to the Flooding of Lake Powell from Historic Topographic Surveys, Utah and Arizona: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9368XHU.</othercit>\n <onlink>https://doi.org/10.5066/P9368XHU</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </srccite>\n <typesrc>Digital and/or Hardcopy</typesrc>\n <srctime>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>19470101</begdate>\n <enddate>19591231</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <srccurr>ground condition</srccurr>\n </srctime>\n <srccitea>USGS Lake Powell DEM from Historic Topographic Surveys</srccitea>\n <srccontr>Development of a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the pre-Glen Canyon Dam topography in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah and Arizona was initiated to assist the U.S. Geological Survey in its Lake Powell coring program in the fall of 2018. Topographic surveys of Glen Canyon were commissioned by the Bureau of Reclamation during the planning stages for Lake Powell as part of the Colorado River Storage Project. The Colorado River arm was surveyed by Alster and Associates, Inc. at a contour interval of 10-feet from the river surface at the future dam site through where the 3,750-foot contour crosses the channel (above Hite, UT). The San Juan River arm was surveyed by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc. at a contour interval of 20-feet from the confluence between the San Juan and Colorado Rivers through where the 4,100-foot contour crosses the channel (east of Mexican Hat, UT), though this DEM only includes topography up to 3,800 feet. These contour maps were digitized as vector data by the USGS Utah Water Science Center (2018) as well as the National Park Service, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the Bureau of Reclamation, and Glen Canyon Environmental Studies (1990s). The hydrologically corrected, 2-meter DEM was developed with the Topo to Raster tool in ArcMap (v. 10.6.1).</srccontr>\n </srcinfo>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>TBDEM INTEGRATION: The principal methodology for developing the integrated TBDEM can be organized into four main components (Danielson, et al, 2016). The topography component consists of the land-based elevation data derived from bare earth lidar point cloud data (Jed Parker, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Upper Colorado Water Resources Group / Atlantic, 2019). The bathymetry component consists of raster data derived from a dual-head Reson T20-P multibeam echosounder (Andrews, B.D., et al, 2018). Because part of the water-covered area was inaccessible by boat, there are some gaps between the topographic and bathymetric datasets. These gaps were filled with historic topographic surveys and an interpolated 10-meter raster. Finally, the "integration component" encompasses the assimilation of the topographic, bathymetric, historic topographic surveys, and interpolated data along the near-shore based on a predefined set of priorities. The end product from the topography, bathymetry, and historic topographic survey components is a raster mosaic made from the topography, bathymetry, historic topographic surveys, and an interpolated surface that fill the gaps. An associated spatial metadata polygon featureclass is provided with the raster.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190214</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>TOPOGRAPHY PROCESSING COMPONENT: For quality control, the vertical and horizontal datums and projection of the input lidar source were verified to be referenced to NAVD88 and NAD83, UTM. The historic topographic survey data were adjusted from National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) (feet) to NAVD88 (meters). The flattened water was removed from two northeast areas of the topographic DEM by applying the rivers and streams mask provided by the vendor.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190214</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>BATHYMETRY PROCESSING COMPONENT: For the Lake Powell TBDEM, we used the bathymetry grids created by Andrews, B.D., et al. We also used the historic topographic surveys, digitized and generated as a grid, created by Root, J.C., et al., to fill in existing voids from neighboring areas. For two areas in the northeast, we used linear interpolation to fill in void areas. The bathymetry rasters were then resampled using bilinear interpolation to 1-meter spatial resolution to match the input lidar data. For quality control, the vertical and horizontal datums and projection of the input bathymetry and historic topographic surveys source data were verified to be referenced to NAVD88 and NAD83, UTM Zone 12.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190214</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>GAP-FILLER PROCESSING COMPONENT: a) The bathymetry as collected does not always abut the topography. Because there were sizable gaps between the two datasets, the gaps had to be filled to create a continuous surface. This was done by converting elevations on the edges of the input DEMS to points. b) These points were then interpolated at a cell size of 10 meters using the ArcGIS Topo To Raster tool. This methodology was used on only two areas in the northeast part of the Lake Powell extent.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190214</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>HISTORIC TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY GAP-FILLER PROCESSING COMPONENT. In the upper reaches of the Lake Powell reservoir, it was necessary to use additional data beyond the source lidar DEM, the source bathymetry (multibeam sonar), and the generated TBDEM mosaic dataset because some of the elevations were intermittently under water. If the elevations were under water, lidar returns were not collected. If the elevations were not under water, the boat could not reach these areas to survey multibeam sonar. Therefore, where these negligible gaps existed, we used historic topographic survey data created by Root, et al. as additional source data for a gap-filling component by extracting raster information and merging it into the TBDEM mosaic dataset. The historic topographic survey data were converted from NGVD29 datum to NAVD88 datum using the VDatum software.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190416</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>MOSAIC DATASET PROCESSING (INTEGRATION) COMPONENT: a) Using Esri ArcGIS, a mosaic dataset was developed to create an integrated seamless TBDEM composite at a 1-meter cell size (Danielson, et al, 2016). The four raster inputs are the 1-meter topographic DEM, the 2-meter bathymetric DEM, the 2-meter historic topographic surveys surface, and the 10-meter interpolated gap-filler surface. This process included generating spatial seamlines with a blending width of 5 meters. The topographic data were given the highest priority, the bathymetry data were assigned the second highest priority, the historic topographic surveys data were assigned the third highest priority and the gap-filler surface had the lowest priority. These priorities were based on cell size. b) Spatially referenced metadata consisting of polygon footprints that represent each TBDEM source input dataset was generated. The spatial metadata contains attributes that describe source data. Among these attributes are resolution, acquisition date, name, organization, contact, project, Web sites, and topographic or bathymetric data type. c) Seamlines were generated to smooth the transition between neighboring raster. The blending zone width was set to 5 meters. d) A GeoTIFF was generated from the mosaic dataset at a cell size of 1 meter. e) A visual quality assurance assessment was performed on the output composite to review the mosaic seams for artifacts.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190418</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Jeff Danielson</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Physical Geographer</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>47914 252nd Street</address>\n <city>Sioux Falls</city>\n <state>SD</state>\n <postal>57198-0001</postal>\n <country>United States</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>605-594-6148</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>605-594-6589</cntfax>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Raster</direct>\n <rastinfo>\n <rasttype>Grid Cell</rasttype>\n <rowcount>129927</rowcount>\n <colcount>130175</colcount>\n <vrtcount>1</vrtcount>\n </rastinfo>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <gridsys>\n <gridsysn>Universal Transverse Mercator</gridsysn>\n <utm>\n <utmzone>12</utmzone>\n <transmer>\n <sfctrmer>0.9996</sfctrmer>\n <longcm>-111.0</longcm>\n <latprjo>0</latprjo>\n <feast>500000.0</feast>\n <fnorth>0</fnorth>\n </transmer>\n </utm>\n </gridsys>\n <planci>\n <plance>row and column</plance>\n <coordrep>\n <absres>1.0</absres>\n <ordres>1.0</ordres>\n </coordrep>\n <plandu>meters</plandu>\n </planci>\n </planar>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>NAD83 National Spatial Reference System 2011</horizdn>\n <ellips>GRS 1980</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137.0</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.2572221010042</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n <vertdef>\n <altsys>\n <altdatum>North American Vertical Datum of 1988, National Geodetic Survey Geoid 12B</altdatum>\n <altres>0.001</altres>\n <altunits>meters</altunits>\n <altenc>Implicit coordinate</altenc>\n </altsys>\n </vertdef>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <overview>\n <eaover>This collection of high-resolution topobathymetric digital elevation data is available in a user-friendly Georeferenced Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) at ScienceBase online at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9XX0J1Y.

Several statistical downscaling methods have been developed over the past fifteen years, resulting in multiple datasets derived by different methods. We apply a simple monthly water-balance model (MWBM) to demonstrate how the differences among these datasets result in disparate projections of snow loss and future changes in runoff.

(Attached Files) ## Purpose The purpose of this data release is to provide audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) station locations and data to the public. The primary goal of the AMT survey is to map changes in electrical resistivity with depth that are related to differences in rock type. Characterization of the size and resistivity of the mineralized area beneath overburden were of primary importance to be investigated by these variations in rock types. ## Preview Image  ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5f06282682ce21d4c3f8add3) [](/catalog/item/imap/5f06282682ce21d4c3f8add3) ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Theme - [AMT](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DAMT "AMT (AMT, Theme, None)") - [Assessment Techniques for Concealed Mineral Resources project](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DAssessment+Techniques+for+Concealed+Mineral+Resources+project "Assessment Techniques for Concealed Mineral Resources project (Assessment Techniques for Concealed Mineral Resources project, Theme, None)") - [DOI](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDOI "DOI (DOI, Theme, None)") - [Department of the Interior](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDepartment+of+the+Interior "Department of the Interior (Department of the Interior, Theme, None)") - [GGGSC](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGGGSC "GGGSC (GGGSC, Theme, None)") - [GPS measurement](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGPS+measurement "GPS measurement (GPS measurement, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGeology%2C+Geophysics%2C+and+Geochemistry+Science+Center "Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center, Theme, None)") - [MRP](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMRP "MRP (MRP, Theme, None)") - [MT](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMT "MT (MT, Theme, None)") - [Mineral Resources Program](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMineral+Resources+Program "Mineral Resources Program (Mineral Resources Program, Theme, None)") - [Sunnyside porphyry](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSunnyside+porphyry "Sunnyside porphyry (Sunnyside porphyry, Theme, None)") - [U.S. Forest Service](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DU.S.+Forest+Service "U.S. Forest Service (U.S. Forest Service, 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)") - [USFS](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSFS "USFS (USFS, Theme, None)") - [USGS](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUSGS "USGS (USGS, Theme, None)") - [apparent resistivity](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dapparent+resistivity "apparent resistivity (apparent resistivity, Theme, None)") - [audiomagnetotelluric](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Daudiomagnetotelluric "audiomagnetotelluric (audiomagnetotelluric, Theme, None)") - [copper](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dcopper "copper (copper, Theme, None)") - [economy](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Deconomy "economy (economy, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [electric field (earth)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Delectric+field+%28earth%29 "electric field (earth) (electric field (earth), Theme, None)") - [geophysics](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dgeophysics "geophysics (geophysics, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [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)") - [magnetic field (earth)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmagnetic+field+%28earth%29 "magnetic field (earth) (magnetic field (earth), Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [magnetotelluric](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmagnetotelluric "magnetotelluric (magnetotelluric, Theme, None)") - [magnetotelluric surveying](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dmagnetotelluric+surveying "magnetotelluric surveying (magnetotelluric surveying, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [sounding](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dsounding "sounding (sounding, Theme, None)") - [tipper](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dtipper "tipper (tipper, Theme, None)") Place - [Arizona](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DArizona "Arizona (Arizona, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Patagonia Mountains](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DPatagonia+Mountains "Patagonia Mountains (Patagonia Mountains, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), https://geonames.usgs.gov)") - [San Rafael Valley](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSan+Rafael+Valley "San Rafael Valley (San Rafael Valley, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), https://geonames.usgs.gov)") - [Santa Cruz County](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSanta+Cruz+County "Santa Cruz County (Santa Cruz County, Place, USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), https://geonames.usgs.gov)") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Two sorts of TF are provided for most sites. All 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. Remote reference stations were not used because manmade noise sources were assumed to be minimal in this remote area. Apparent resistivities and phases, which can be computed from the off-diagonal components of the impedance tensors, are frequently used in 2-dimensional (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, David E., 1987, MT/EMAP Data Interchange Standard, Revision 1.0: Society of Exploration Geophysicists technical standards committee report, 77 p., 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.

Vertical accuracy was not assessed for this specific dataset. The overall absolute vertical accuracy of the seamless DEMs within the conterminous United States (2013), expressed as the root mean square error (RMSE) of 25,310 reference points, was 1.55 meters (USGS, 2014 - https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20141008). 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>Multiple high frequency time series (TS1 file extension), Fourier Coefficient (FC6, FC7, FC8, and FC9 file extensions), and Synchronous Detection Mode spectra cross power blocks (SD6, SD7, SD8, and SD9 file extensions) were each recorded for about 1 minute with an Electromagnetic Instruments (EMI) MT-1 MT data acquisition instrument employing orthogonal horizontal EMI AMT induction magnetic coils and EMI Titanium electrodes, along with a vertical EMI AMT induction magnetic coil. The proprietary, DOS-based, EMI recording software used is MTACQ, version 2.00 (September 17, 2004). The collected time series were stored on a portable field-rugged laptop computer and then converted to intermediate spectra cross power files (BP1 file extension) using fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques and least-squares, cross-spectral analysis to solve for a tensor transfer function. Remote reference stations were not used because manmade noise sources were assumed to be minimal in this remote area. The time series and spectra cross power files were downloaded from the portable laptop each evening for further processing. The time series files are readable by other third-party software, such as Geosystem's WinGLink, version 2.20.02 (June 5, 2008), but the Fourier Coefficient and cross power files are only known to be readable by the EMI proprietary software.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20080504</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Combine multiple frequency band BP and SD cross power files into a single cross power file (AVG file extension) using EMI's MTACQ, version 2.00, software</procdesc>\n <procdate>20091025</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Convert cross power AVG file to spectra edi file using EMI's MTACQ, version 2.00, software</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200113</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Rotate data to geographic north and convert spectra edi file to a Transfer Function dump file using the proprietary, Windows-based, Geotools' GeotoolsMT, version 7.30 (May 28, 1998), software</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200113</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Use EDITFMD File Conversion Utility, version 6.6 to extract survey and station information and settings from AVG, spectra edi, and dump files to create a Transfer Function edi file</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200310</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Use python tool, SquamataAssemblyAMTv1-15.ipynb, accessed at https://github.com/pbrown-usgs/SquamataAssemblyAMT, to extract survey and station information from AVG, spectra edi, and Transfer Function edi file to FGDC-compliant metadata.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200311</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>0.000001</latres>\n <longres>0.000001</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>Text File USA-Arizona-Patagonia_Mtns-Sunnyside_Porphyry-2010-AMT01.edi</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Transfer Function EDI File</enttypd>\n <enttypds>U.S. Geological Survey</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>HEAD</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Header file information containing survey and station collection information.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Header block of information containing survey and station collection content, acquisition date, version, and software used to process.</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>INFO</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Descriptive content, or metadata, describing the data collection.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>U.S. Geological Survey</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Descriptive content, or metadata, describing the data collection including abstract, data description, instrumentation with equipment identifiers, notes, data collection and processing details including software and other contextual information.</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>FREQ</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Data block containing a set of frequencies in hertz (Hz.)

Measurements performed on the video footage accounted for parallax by utilizing custom-fitted, non-rectangular grids that were anchored to registration points that had known spatial locations and orientations. For example, registration points were obtained from gridlines painted on the run-up obstacles and on the flume run-out pad and sidewalls that had precisely known locations and orientations. Time registration of the measurements was accomplished by using timestamps that were imprinted with a precision of 0.01 s during recording of the videotapes. \n\nOf the data tabulated in the .csv files, only the laser measurements of h required digital processing. This processing involved converting D/A units to physical units by using linear calibration factors (which provided a flow-depth resolution ~ 1 mm), filtering the 500-Hz native data with a 30-Hz digital low-pass filter, and then downsampling the filtered data to 100 Hz.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20160301</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>ds01.1994_06_21.CSV</enttypl>\n <enttypd>The file contains multiple columns of data, with each column representing either a time measurement or the value of a physical quantity (flow speed, u, or run-up height, H) measured at that time</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>time for u (s)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>time at which flow speed u was measured</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>time in seconds</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>u at 87.4 m (m/s)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>flow speed at the 87.4 meter mark downslope from the headgate at the top of the flume</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>flow speed in meters per second</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>time for H (s)</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>time at which the runup height H was measured</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>time in seconds</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>runup ht.

Boreal soils are unique in that the mineral soil is covered by what can be quite thick layers of organic soil. These organic soil layers, or horizons, can differ in their state of decomposition, source vegetation, and disturbance history.

The chemical formula for this compound corresponds to a C concentration of 41.09 % and N concentration of 9.59 %. Additional working standards were analyzed as samples in all runs to check consistency and overall precision. Two working standards were included in all runs: a marine sediment (MESS-1), issued by the Chemistry Division of the Canadian National Research Council, and a river sediment (NBS 1645), issued by the National Bureau of Standards, now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Certified values were obtained from Govindaraju [1989]. These working standards are more representative of mineral soil samples. Over half the runs also included NIST-1547, N certified at 2.94 \xc2\xb1 0.12 % by weight [Becker, 1990]. NIST-1547 peach leaves are more similar to the highly organic surface soils. Many of the Open-File Reports references compare our measured values for these working standards to their certified values.</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>Minimum and maximum values were examined as a data quality check.</logic>\n <complete>Our samples are dominated by soil profiles from somewhat poorly, poorly, and very poorly drainages. Age classes were also not equally distributed, as almost 50 % of our soil profiles were from mature stands. This unbalanced design means that our results may not adequately represent all drainages and age classes, particularly well-drained sites. Deciduous stands are not well represented. In addition, we have few sites from shrub dominated ecosystems. Our data best represents black spruce dominated forests and thermokarst wetlands in Alaska.</complete>\n <lineage>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>FIELD METHODOLOGY\nSoil cores were taken using one or more of four different methods (Manies et al., 2017; Manies et al., 2016; Manies et al., 2014; O'Donnell et al., 2013; O'Donnell et al., 2012; Manies et al., 2004). The first method, most often used with surface layers, involved cutting soil blocks to a known volume. Another method often used to sample these soils uses a coring device inserted into a hand drill (4.8 cm diameter; Nalder and Wein, 1998). Wetter sites were sometimes sampled while frozen using a Snow, Ice, and Permafrost Research Establishment (SIPRE) corer (7.6-cm diameter; Rand and Mellor, 1985). Alternatively, if wetter sites were sampled unfrozen we used a \xe2\x80\x98frozen finger\xe2\x80\x99. This coring method uses a thin-walled, hollow tube (~6.5 cm diameter), sealed at one end, which is inserted into the ground until it hits mineral soil. A slurry of dry ice and alcohol is then poured into the corer, freezing the unfrozen material surrounding the corer to the outside. The corer is then removed and the exterior of the core is scraped to remove any large roots or material that stuck to the sample during removal. For some cores, two coring methods were combined to create continuous samples from the surface to the mineral soil.\nCores were subdivided into subsections representing soil horizons based on visual factors such as level of decomposition and root abundance. These horizon samples provided the basis for our analyses and are based on Canadian (Soil Classification Working Group, 1998) and U.S. Department of Agriculture\xe2\x80\x99s Natural Resource Conservation Service (Staff, 1998) soil survey techniques. A description of the horizons and the codes we used to represent them are found below:\n\nLive moss (L): Live moss, which is usually green. This layer generally also contains a small amount of plant litter.\nDead moss (D): Moss that is dead and either undecomposed or slightly decomposed. This horizon would be considered an Oi horizon in the U.S. soil system.\nFibric (F): Fibrous plant material that varies in the degree of decomposition (somewhat intact to very small plant pieces), but there is no amorphous organic material present. Very fine roots often make up a large fraction of this horizon. This horizon would be considered an Oi horizon in the U.S. soil system.\nMesic (M): This horizon is comprised of moderately decomposed material, with few, if any, recognizable plant parts other than roots. There is amorphous present within this layer to varying degrees, but it is not smeary. This horizon is generally considered an Oe horizon (U.S. soil system). \nHumic (H): This organic horizon is highly decomposed. The soil in this horizon smears when rubbed and contains little to no recognizable plant parts. The H horizon is generally considered an Oa horizon (U.S. soil system).\nMineral (Min): Classified as an A, B, or C mineral soil (U.S. soil system), it contains less than 20-volume-percent organic matter, as judged in the field.\n\nLABORATORY METHODS\nWe air-dried soils at room temperature (20 \xc2\xb0C to 30 \xc2\xb0C) to constant mass, then oven-dried the samples for 24-48 hours in a forced-draft oven. Organic soils were oven-dried at 65 \xc2\xb0C to avoid the alteration of organic matter chemistry. Mineral soils were oven-dried at 105 \xc2\xb0C. Samples were then processed in one of two ways, depending on the horizon code. Mineral soil samples were gently crushed using a mortar and pestle, with care to break only aggregates, and then sieved through a 2-mm screen. Soil particles that did not pass through the screen were removed, weighed, and saved separately; soil that passed through the screen was then ground by using a mortar and pestle to pass through a 60-mesh (0.246-mm) screen. The ground material was mixed and placed in a labeled glass sample bottle for subsequent analyses. Organic samples were weighed, and roots wider than 1 cm in diameter were removed, weighed, and saved separately. The remaining sample material was then milled in an Udy Corp. Cyclone Sample Mill to pass through a 0.25-mm screen and placed in a labeled glass vial.\nWe analyzed soil samples for total C and N using a Carlo Erba NA1500 elemental analyzer (Fisons Instruments). In summary, samples were combusted in the presence of excess oxygen. The resulting sample gases were carried by a continuous flow of helium through an oxidation furnace, followed by a reduction furnace, to yield CO2, N2, and water vapor. Water was removed by a chemical trap and CO2 and N2 were chromatographically separated before the quantification of C and N (Pella, 1990a,b).</procdesc>\n <procdate>20190701</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>megaAlaska_v11-2 for ScienceBase.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Comma Separated Value (CSV) file containing data.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer Defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>sampleID</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Sample Identification: the first four characters are based on the region and site.

A combination of Landsat imagery, high-resolution imagery from the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP), and a digital-elevation model (DEM) were used to initially identify discharge areas. Field mapping and verification at 59 locations were used to fine tune adjustments of the remote sensing methodology to properly and more accurately identify the discharge areas. Six Landsat scenes were analyzed: (1) Landsat scene identifiers LT50400312008193EDC00 and LT50400322008193EDC00 acquired July 11, 2008; (2) Landsat scene identifiers LT50400312008161EDC00 and LT50400322008161EDC00 acquired June 9, 2008; (3) Landsat scene identifiers LT50400312008257EDC00 and LT50400312008257EDC00 acquired September 13, 2008.\n\nReference:\nPlume, R.W., and Smith, J.L., 2013, Properties of basin-fill deposits, a 1971\xe2\x80\x932000 water budget, and surface-water-groundwater interactions in the upper Humboldt River basin, northeastern Nevada: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2013-5077, 38 p., http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5077/</procdesc>\n <srcused>Landsat</srcused>\n <srcused>NAIP</srcused>\n <srcused>DEM</srcused>\n <procdate>2009</procdate>\n <srcprod>PAGWD_g</srcprod>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>PAGWD_g was converted from a raster to polygon using the ArcGIS tool RasterToPolygon: \n"RasterToPolygon PAGWD_g PAGWD_p SIMPLIFY VALUE"</procdesc>\n <srcused>PAGWD_g</srcused>\n <procdate>200910</procdate>\n <srcprod>PAGWD_p</srcprod>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>PAGWD_p was projected from NAD 1983 UTM zone 11 to WGS 84 UTM zone 11.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20161116</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Metadata were structured and validated using the U.S. Geological Survey Geospatial Metadata Validation Service, accessed November 16, 2016 at URL http://geo-nsdi.er.usgs.gov/validation/.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2017508</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Vector</direct>\n <ptvctinf>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>GT-polygon composed of chains</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>90</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n </ptvctinf>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <mapproj>\n <mapprojn>WGS 1984 UTM Zone 11N</mapprojn>\n <transmer>\n <sfctrmer>0.9996</sfctrmer>\n <longcm>-117.0</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>0.0001</absres>\n <ordres>0.0001</ordres>\n </coordrep>\n <plandu>meter</plandu>\n </planci>\n </planar>\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>SIR2013_5077_PAGWD_p</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Polygon features representing the potential areas of groundwater discharge for the upper Humboldt River Basin</enttypd>\n <enttypds>user-defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>OBJECTID</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>PAGWD</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Whether polygon is part of the PAGWD</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Esri</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>Yes</edomv>\n <edomvd>Polygon is part of the PAGWD</edomvd>\n <edomvds>user-defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Shape_Length</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Length of feature in internal units.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Esri</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Positive real numbers that are automatically generated.</udom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Shape_Area</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Area of feature in internal units squared.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Esri</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Positive real numbers that are automatically generated.</udom>\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 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>USA</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>1-888-275-8747</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </distrib>\n <distliab>This database, identified as SIR2013_5077_PAGWD_p, has been approved for release by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

We acquired seismic reflection, refraction, and guided-wave data along a 117-m-long profile across the known surface rupture zone of the West Napa Fault zone. To acquire the reflection and refraction data, we co-located shots and geophones, spaced every meter along the profile. We used 118 SercelTM L40A P-wave (40-Hz vertical-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 22.34 volts/meter/second to record 118 P-wave shots. We also used 118 SercelTM L28-LBH S-wave (4.5-Hz horizontal-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 31.3 volts/meter/second \[...\] ## Summary In November 2016, the U.S. Geological Survey acquired high-resolution P- and S-wave seismic data across the surface trace of the West Napa Fault zone near Buhman Avenue in Napa, California. We acquired seismic reflection, refraction, and guided-wave data along a 117-m-long profile across the known surface rupture zone of the West Napa Fault zone.  To acquire the reflection and refraction data, we co-located shots and geophones, spaced every meter along the profile.  We used 118 SercelTM L40A P-wave (40-Hz vertical-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 22.34 volts/meter/second to record 118 P-wave shots.  We also used 118 SercelTM L28-LBH S-wave (4.5-Hz horizontal-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 31.3 volts/meter/second to record 118 S-wave shots. We generated P-wave data using a 2.5-kg sledgehammer and steel plate combination. S-wave sources were generated by horizontally striking an aluminum block with a 2.5-kg sledgehammer. We acquired fault-zone guided-wave data by generating P- and S-wave energy (2.5-kg sledgehammer and steel plate or aluminum block) approximately 44 and 55 m northwest 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 (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. **Reference:** Subcommittee of the SEG Engineering and Groundwater Geophysics Committee, Pullan, S.

The goal of the data-collection program is to provide information for evaluating the role that cloud-water interception in Hawaii’s rain forests has in providing moisture for plants, reducing wildfire risk within the fog zone, and contributing to groundwater recharge to aquifers that supply drinking water and persistent groundwater discharge to streams even during dry periods. The overall objective of the study is to provide needed information (1) to estimate changes in soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and groundwater recharge during periods of drought for current and projected climate conditions, and (2) to estimate the combined impact of drought and reduced cloud-water interception on soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and groundwater recharge. This dataset includes a summary of soil particle-size, dry bulk density, porosity, volumetric water content, and gravimetric water content analyses made on soil samples collected at three study sites, one on the island of Maui (Nakula) and two on the island of Hawaii (Laupahoehoe and Nahuku) between July 2016 and July 2017. The dataset also includes a summary of measurements of soil field-saturated hydraulic conductivity, hydrophobicity, and preferential flow collected at the Nakula site during January 2018. Each study site consisted of one plot located in forested land within the cloud zone. In addition, the Nakula study site included a second plot located in grassland adjacent to the forested plot. This data release includes five files: a summary file, three results files, and a metadata file: - The summary file \[Study\_sites\_summary\_file.pdf\] includes tables and maps of the three study sites, oblique areal imagery of the measurement plots at each study site, and a schematic of the measurement location configuration for the Nakula study site. - The dry bulk density, porosity, volumetric water content, and gravimetric water content data file \[Nahuku\_Nakula\_Laupahoehoe\_soil\_core\_data.csv\] contains all laboratory results for a total of 22 soil-core samples collected at the three study sites. - The particle size data file \[Nahuku\_Nakula\_Laupahoehoe\_soil\_particle\_size\_data.csv\] contains all laboratory soil particle-size results for a total of 28 soil samples collected from a subset of individual measurement locations at the three study sites. - The infiltration data file \[Nakula\_infiltration\_data.csv\] contains attributes that describe the study site, dominant vegetation, measurement date, measurement location identification code, and measurement results of soil field-saturated hydraulic conductivity, hydrophobicity, and preferential flow for all 33 individual measurement locations. - The metadata file \[Soil\_moisture\_stress\_data\_release\_metadata.xml\] includes explanation of the contents of the three data files and detailed descriptions of the methods used for each measurement. ... show more ... ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Joseph J Kennedy](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=72643), [Pacific Islands Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17447) Originator : [Joseph J Kennedy](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=72643), [Alan Mair](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Alan+Mair), [Kim S.

First, a soil test pit was manually excavated at each study site in a manner to expose a vertical sidewall at the upslope edge of the pit. The vertical sidewall of each pit was approximately 1.2 meters long and no more than 1.5 m deep. Next, soil-moisture sensors were inserted horizontally at multiple depths, arranged in two vertical arrays at each end of the sidewall. Each vertical array of soil-moisture sensors was identified as a soil-moisture measurement location, S-1 or S-2. A soil-core sample was then collected at or adjacent to the placement location of each soil-moisture sensor. Soil core samples were collected using an AMS Soil Core Sampler equipped with a sampling cup for holding 5.1-centimeter by 15.2 centimeter (2-inch by 6-inch) stainless-steel liners. The sampling cup was inserted horizontally at each depth by lightly tapping the end of the cup with a small hammer until the cup was completely inserted into the vertical sidewall. The cup was then gently retracted from the sidewall and the liner removed from the sampling cup. Plastic end caps were immediately placed on the ends of each liner and then taped to the liner to ensure no loss of soil sample or moisture. Each sample was labeled with the study site name, soil-moisture measurement location, and sample depth. All samples were then shipped to a USGS laboratory in Menlo Park, California where they were analyzed for dry bulk density, porosity, volumetric water content, and gravimetric water content (processing step 2) and for particle-size distribution (processing step 7).</procdesc>\n <procdate>201707</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>PROCESSING STEP 2: Dry Bulk Density, Porosity, Volumetric Water Content, and Gravimetric Water Content \nSoil-core samples were processed at a USGS laboratory in Menlo Park, California to determine dry bulk density, porosity, volumetric water content, and gravimetric water content. All measurements were recorded in a spreadsheet that calculated the final values. Each sample was processed as follows: \n(1) Total mass of packaged soil-core sample was recorded which included the stainless-steel liner, plastic end caps, and tape. \n(2) The sample was then removed from the stainless-steel liner and placed into a drying pan with a known mass. The combined mass of the stainless-steel liner, packaging tape, and plastic end caps were recorded and subtracted from the total mass in step (1) to determine the total wet soil sample mass. \n(3) The dimensions of each stainless-steel liner were measured to the nearest hundredth of a centimeter and used to calculate total volume of soil sample contained within. \n(4) Soil samples were then placed into a convection oven for 24 hours at a temperature of 110 degrees Celsius. The total mass of the drying pan and dried soil sample was recorded after this step. The dry soil sample mass was calculated by subtracting the drying pan mass from the total mass. The mass of the dried soil sample was subtracted from the total wet soil mass to calculate the water mass removed during the drying process. \n(5) The pycnometer method (Blake and Hartge, 1986) was used to calculate soil particle density and was determined as follows: \nparticle density = density of water * (dry sample mass) / (wet sample mass - dry sample mass) \n(6) Dry bulk density, porosity, volumetric water content, and gravimetric water content were then calculated as follows: \nDry bulk density = dry soil weight / total sample volume; \nPorosity = 1 - (dry bulk density / particle density); \nVolumetric water content = (mass of soil water / density of water) / total soil volume; \nGravimetric water content = mass of soil water / mass of dry soil \n(7) The calculated values were then manually entered into the data summary table (Nahuku_Nakula_Laupahoehoe_soil_core_data.csv).</procdesc>\n <procdate>201709</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>PROCESSING STEP 3: Infiltration-rate Measurement Location Selection and Preparation at the Nakula Study Site \nThe Nakula study site had two plots, each of which contained 15 or 17 individual infiltration-rate measurement locations. The measurement locations were laid out in a concentric arrangement around a central measurement location (see figures 4 and 5 in Study_sites_summary_file.pdf) and marked with a flag that had a measurement location identification code. Each infiltration-rate measurement location was then selected from within a 1-meter radius of the marked test location according to the following criteria: \n(1) relatively level ground within a half-square meter area, \n(2) accessible surface soil that requires minimal soil disturbance, and \n(3) no rocks or other objects that could inhibit the insertion of the infiltrometer ring. Where larger vegetation species occur, the infiltrometers were placed about 30-50 centimeters from the plant stem with any loose litter removed from the soil surface. Vegetation within a 20-cm radius of the selected infiltration-rate measurement location was clipped to the ground surface, when necessary.</procdesc>\n <procdate>201801</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>PROCESSING STEP 4: Hydrophobicity Measurements at the Nakula Study Site \nSoil hydrophobicity measurements were made at each infiltration-rate measurement location using molarity of ethanol droplet tests and rated on an 8-point scale in the manner of Doerr (1998). Solutions of ethanol and deionized water were mixed in the following concentrations: 0, 3, 5, 8.5, 13, 24, and 36 percent by volume. The rating given coincides with a corresponding solution of ethanol that infiltrates the soil surface within 3 seconds of application. A rating of 1 corresponds to the infiltration of the 0 percent solution (100 percent deionized water) infiltrating within 3 seconds of application to the soil surface. A rating of 7 corresponds to the infiltration of the 36 percent solution infiltrating within 3 seconds of application to the soil surface, and therefore a rating of 8 applies to any soil where the 36 percent ethanol solution did not infiltrate within 3 seconds of application. A rating of 1 implies very hydrophilic soils, whereas a rating of 8 implies very extremely hydrophobic soils. Each hydrophobicity test was performed as follows: \n(1) Starting with the 0 percent ethanol solution, one drop of solution was applied to the measurement location \n(2) If the drop remained on the soil surface for longer than 3 seconds, one drop of the 3 percent ethanol solution was applied within the measurement location \n(3) This process was continued using the next higher percentage ethanol solution until the applied drop was absorbed into the soil within 3 seconds \n(4) The percentage ethanol solution (starting from 0 percent and working upward) that first resulted in infiltration within 3 seconds was recorded by hand on the field form. This condition marked the end of the hydrophobicity test at the measurement location. \n(5) These measurements were then manually entered into the data summary table (Nakula_infiltration_data.csv)</procdesc>\n <procdate>201801</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>PROCESSING STEP 5: Field-Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Measurements at the Nakula Study Site \nA portable, falling-head, small-diameter single-ring infiltrometer was used to measure rates of infiltration at each infiltration-rate measurement location. An analytical formula was then applied to these measurements to calculate field-saturated hydraulic conductivity in the manner of Nimmo and others (2009). The method allows for a large number of measurements and takes into account subsurface radial spreading that occurs with a small-diameter infiltrometer. Each infiltrometer test was made as follows: \n(1) The infiltrometer was placed on the same measurement location where the hydrophobicity test was done \n(2) The infiltrometer was then slowly pressed into the soil to a depth of approximately 5 centimeters, while twisting gently and keeping the top edge as horizontal as possible \n(3) Loose soil was packed around the outside of the infiltrometer, as needed, to inhibit the possibility of water leaking out from underneath the edge and along the soil surface \n(4) Four equally spaced height measurements were taken around the inside of the infiltrometer from the top of the soil to the top edge and were noted in the field form and used to calculate average insertion depth \n(5) A small plastic bag or large leaf was placed on the soil surface within the infiltrometer to prevent the pouring of water from disrupting the soil surface \n(6) 1 liter of water was poured into the infiltrometer on top of the plastic bag or leaf as quickly as possible without splashing water out of the infiltrometer and then the plastic bag or leaf was then immediately removed \n(7) A timer was started as soon as the pouring of water into the infiltrometer was completed and the elapsed time was recorded on the field form when all standing water infiltrated into the soil surface \n(8) The pouring and timing of 1 liter of water was repeated 3 more times at each measurement location \n(9) These measurements were manually entered into a spreadsheet that calculated a mean field-saturated hydraulic conductivity \n(10) The mean field-saturated hydraulic conductivity for each measurement location was then manually entered into the data summary table (Nakula_infiltration_data.csv)</procdesc>\n <procdate>201801</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>PROCESSING STEP 6: Preferential-Flow Measurements at the Nakula Study Site \nA preferential-flow measurement was collected at each infiltration-rate measurement location in the manner described in Perkins and others (2012). Perkins and others (2012) used a 4-point scale in which a rating of 0 implied no preferential flow and a rating of 3 implied highly preferential flow. In this study, the approach was modified to include a 6-point scale to account for the variety of conditions encountered during the collection of field measurements. The modified rating scale is described as follows: \n0 \xe2\x80\x93 Unrecognizable flow path due to preexisting wet soil \n1 \xe2\x80\x93 Uniform, symmetric wetted area (no preferential flow) \n2 \xe2\x80\x93 Irregularly shaped wetted area (some preferentiality) \n3 \xe2\x80\x93 One or more isolated wetted areas distinct from a main wetted area (preferential flow) \n4 \xe2\x80\x93 Multiple isolated wetted areas (highly preferential) \n5 \xe2\x80\x93 Horizontal or lateral preferential flow inferred based on root structure and rapid infiltration time \nThe preferential flow assessment was made after the infiltrometer was removed and performed as follows: \n(1) The top layer of soil, 1-4 cm thick depending on soil type and root structure, was removed to determine the extent to which the soil had become saturated beneath the area where the infiltrometer was located. \n(2) The soil was inspected during the removal process and the preferential-flow assessment was recorded on the field form. \n(3) The measurements were then manually entered into the data summary table (Nakula_infiltration_data.csv)</procdesc>\n <procdate>201801</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>PROCESSING STEP 7: Surface Soil Sample Collection and Particle-Size Distribution Measurements \nSurface soil samples for particle-size distribution measurements were collected at the Nakula study site only. The surface soil samples were collected at all measurement locations within both plots immediately after the preferential-flow assessments. These samples were packaged in small plastic bags with the study site name and measurement location identification code written on them. A subset of three samples were then selected from each of the two plots based on the minimum, maximum, and median infiltration-rate measurements within each respective plot. The six samples were shipped to a USGS laboratory in Menlo Park, California where they were processed for particle size distribution measurements. The soil-core samples collected from all three study sites (discussed in processing step 1) were also processed for particle-size distribution measurements after processing step 2 was completed. \n\nA particle-size distribution for each sample was determined by optical diffraction (Gee and Or, 2002) using a Coulter LS 13 320 Particle Size Analyzer with a range of measurement from 0.00004 \xe2\x80\x93 2 millimeters. First, each sample was sieved to remove particles larger than 2 millimeters. However, no particles larger than 2 millimeters were found in the samples. Next, each sample was carefully disaggregated, when necessary, using a mortar and rubber-tipped pestle, then split with a riffle splitter to obtain one representative random sample for analysis. Each small, representative sample was put into suspension (filtered water is routinely used) within a fluid module that was attached to a device containing a light source and detectors. The particles in suspension then passed through the path of a light beam and scattered the light in characteristic, symmetrical patterns which were detected by the device. A pump within the fluid module circulated the particles in suspension through a cell within the optical bench through which a laser beam passed. The pattern of scattered light intensity is a function of scattering angles produced as the light is deflected off of particles of various sizes within a sample. Using this information, a distribution of particle sizes was deduced using a mathematical model based on Fraunhoffer diffraction theory. Each sample was sonicated prior to measurement, run through the device for 90 seconds, and analyzed twice with the average of the two runs recorded. Test results were reported as percentages of the sample\xe2\x80\x99s total volume and initially binned by the particle sizing analyzer into as many as 116 channel diameters. These data were further aggregated into 18 particle-size classes based on Wentworth (1922). The results of the adjusted particle-size distributions were then summarized in a data summary table (Nahuku_Nakula_Laupahoehoe_soil_particle_size_data.csv).</procdesc>\n <procdate>201812</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Nahuku_Nakula_Laupahoehoe_soil_particle_size_data.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Data table containing particle-size distributions of selected samples from each study site</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Kim S.

Knowledge of ongoing landslide movement is essential to understanding the threat posed by the landslides. Because of the landslides' remote location, field-based ground monitoring is challenging. Alternatively, periodic acquisition and interferometric processing of satellite-based synthetic aperture radar data provide an accurate means to remotely monitor landslide movement. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) uses two Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) scenes taken at different times to generate maps of surface deformation in the line of sight of the radar sensor using differences in the phase of returning waves. In addition to ground deformation, changes in phase can occur due to earth curvature, topography, orbital effects, atmospheric conditions, and other noise such as change in ground scattering properties. Removal of phase change contributions other than ground deformation are corrected through InSAR processing, although several limitations exist (e.g. Massonnet and Rabaute, 1993; Gens and Van Genderen, 1996). Phase noise can be estimated using coherence, which is a measure of similarity of the radar path reflection between two SAR images, ranging from 0 (phase is just noise) to 1 (complete absence of phase noise). Interferometric phase as shown in "wrapped" interferograms is the phase of the wave, represented by an angle from 0 to 2π, which returns to 0 after one cycle. Phase unwrapping solves this phase ambiguity by creating a continuous phase, which can be converted to relative displacement in an "unwrapped" interferogram (Yu et al., 2019). The maximum detectable deformation rate is one radar wavelength/2 per pixel. For the RADARSAT-2 satellite data used herein, the SAR wavelength is ~5.6 cm, which means the maximum detectable deformation rate is 2.8 cm within one pixel relative to the next pixel. Here, we present the interferometric results of tasked RADARSAT-2 SAR data. Data were acquired from two ultrafine beam modes, U19 and U15, that are acquired over the landslide every 24-days, beginning on May 26, 2020 and June 2, 2020, respectively. The spatial resolution is 3 m in range and 3 m in azimuth. Each time period listed below will have an associated unwrapped interferograms (units of line-of-sight displacement in centimeters) in geotiff and kmz format, along with a pdf that will highlight ground features and provide scale and satellite look direction information. For each time period, we describe interferogram results for three areas surrounding Barry Glacier: Landslide A, Landslide B, and the Northwest-facing slope (Fig. 1). Detailed methodology is provided in a separate text file. Results will be added to this data release as new scenes are acquired and processed. Artefacts within the scenes (e.g., due to atmospheric conditions or changing topographic conditions) can be identified by using several independent interferograms, and we will continue to monitor and assess the presence of artefacts over time. **26 May 2020-19 June 2020**: This interferogram contains substantial noise, in part due to changes in snow cover over the time period. The very high noise-to-signal ratio results in very few coherent pixels, making interpretation difficult. However, in locations where there are coherent pixels in Landslide A, Landslide B, and the Northwest-facing slope, there is either no landslide movement, or movement is on the millimeter scale. Displacement patterns on the landslide, do not indicate that ground displacements were greater than the upper limit of detection (> 2.8 cm within one pixel relative to the next pixel), which would result in a loss of coherence. **02 June 2020-26 June 2020**: This time period has more coherent pixels than the earlier time period. In Landslide A, coherent pixels indicate very little movement within the landslide (typically <1 cm) in the line of site (downslope direction). Although efforts are made to reduce errors, as described in the methodology, this small amount of movement likely falls within the margin of error. Thus, this interferogram indicates that Landslide A is not moving, or is moving on the millimeter scale. Displacement patterns on the landslide do not indicate that ground displacements were greater than the upper limit of detection (> 2.8 cm within one pixel relative to the next pixel), which would result in a loss of coherence. Landslide B shows ~5-8 cm of displacement in the northeast part of the toe of the slide, but the remainder of the slide shows little to no movement. On the Northwest-facing slope, a relative change in phase near the toe of the glacier may indicate small (1-2 cm) movement, and will be further assessed using future interferograms. **19 June 2020-13 July 2020**: In Landslide A, coherent pixels again indicate that the landslide did not move during this time interval, or is moving on the millimeter scale. Displacement patterns on the landslide do not indicate that ground displacements were greater than the upper limit of detection (> 2.8 cm within one pixel relative to the next pixel), which would result in a loss of coherence. Landslide B shows up to 6 cm of displacement of the northeast toe of the slide, as noted by reference (1) in the PDF attachement '20200619\_20200713.pdf'. Cumulative displacement cannot be determined until further interferograms are processed. The remainder of the slide shows no movement, or movement that is on the millimeter scale. On the Northwest-facing slope, an approximately 0.04 km2 area centered on -148.100, 61.153 indicates up to 2.5 cm movement in the downslope direction, as noted by reference (2) in the PDF attachement '20200619\_20200713.pdf'. This movement will be monitored and further assessed using future interferograms. The remainder of the Northwest-facing slope shows no movement, or movement that is on the millimeter scale. **26 June 2020-20 July 2020**: On Landslide A, there is a relative phase change on the lower half of the slope and toe of the landslide. These changes indicate that the lower half  of Landslide A moved about 1 cm or less, resulting in a slight upward bulge at the toe of about 1.5 cm, as noted by reference (1) in the PDF attachment '20200626\_20200720.pdf'. Landslide B shows up to 7 cm of displacement in the northeast part of the toe of the slide, as noted by reference (2) in the PDF attachement '20200626\_20200720.pdf'. Thus, between 02 June and 20 July, cumulative downslope movement in this area of Landslide B is at most 15 cm. The remainder of the slide shows no movement, or movement that is on the millimeter scale. On the Northwest-facing slope, an area of approximately 0.09 km2 near the toe of the glacier centered at -148.120, 61.142 indicates up to 3 cm of movement in the downslope direction, as noted by reference (3) in the PDF attachement '20200626\_20200720.pdf'. This movement will be monitored and further assessed using future interferograms. The remainder of the Northwest-facing slope either shows no movement, movement on the millimeter scale, or artefacts (e.g. due to changes in snow cover). **13 July 2020-6 August 2020**: In Landslide A, coherent pixels again indicate that the landslide did not move during this time interval, or is moving on the millimeter scale. Landslide B shows ~2-7 cm of displacement of the northeast toe of the slide, as noted by reference (1) in the PDF attachment '20200713\_20200806.pdf'. Thus, between 19 June and 6 August, cumulative downslope movement in this area of Landslide B is ~13 cm in the areas with the largest deformation. On the Northwest-facing slope, an approximately 0.04 km2 area centered on -148.100, 61.153 (WGS84) indicates up to 1.3 cm movement in the downslope direction, as noted by reference (2) in the PDF attachment '20200713\_20200806.pdf'. The remainder of the Northwest-facing slope either shows no movement, movement on the millimeter scale, or artefacts (e.g. due to changes in snow cover). **20 July 2020-13 August 2020**: Due to a large satellite orbital drift between acquisitions (perpendicular baseline = 251.57 m), this interferogram has a decrease in coherence and several artefacts related to our inability to correct phase distortions in steep terrain at this time. On Landslide A, there is deformation on the upper half of the slope, as noted by reference (1) in the PDF attachment '20200720\_20200813.pdf'. This suggests 1.5 cm of movement or less, which may partly be due to orbital drift errors and will be assessed in future interferograms. Reference (2) shows apparent deformation at the toe of the landslide, which is the opposite of the change seen in the previous interferogram of this beam mode (26 June 2020-20 July 2020), and is larger. This is also the case for reference (3) on the Northwest-facing slope and in the area south of the Coxe Glacier. Because of these discrepancies, and the lack of any similar signal in 13 July 2020-6 August 2020 interferogram, which covers a similar time frame but has a much smaller satellite orbital drift (perpendicular baseline = 16.12 m), these apparent movements are likely errors associated with differences in the satellite viewing geometries. These areas will be monitored and further assessed using future interferograms. On Landslide B, where movement was previously identified at the northeast toe of the slide, the interferogram is incoherent, and thus accurate deformation measurements cannot be made in this area from this interferogram. Near the headscarp of Landslide B, there is an area that suggests 2-3 cm of downslope movement as noted by reference (4) in the PDF attachment '20200720\_20200813.pdf'. This area will be monitored and further assessed using future interferograms. **06 August 2020-30 August 2020:** Due to a large satellite orbital drift between acquisitions (perpendicular baseline = 99 m), this interferogram likely has several artefacts related to our inability to correct phase distortions in steep terrain. These apparent movements are noted by references (1) and (2) in the PDF attachment '20200806\_20200830.pdf'. In Landslide A, coherent pixels indicate that the majority of the landslide did not move during this time interval, or is moving on the millimeter scale. The area noted by reference (1) indicates up to 2 cm of movement at the toe of the landslide, but may be an artefact due to differences in satellite viewing geometries. On Landslide B, where movement was previously identified at the northeast toe of the slide, the interferogram is incoherent, and thus accurate deformation measurements cannot be made in this area from this interferogram. There is also apparent movement along the Northwest-facing slope noted by (2) in the PDF attachment '20200806\_20200830.pdf', however this pattern of continuous deformation is only apparent in interferograms with large satellite orbital drift between acquisitions, thus this deformation is likely an artefact due to satellite viewing geometries. Location (3) on the Northwest-facing slope shows up to 3 cm of movement in an area where movement was previously identified, but the magnitude of deformation may be exaggerated due to satellite orbital drift. **13 August 2020-06 September 2020:** In Landslide A, coherent pixels indicate that the majority of the landslide did not move during this time interval, or is moving on the millimeter scale. A new area of movement noted by reference (1) in the PDF attachment '20200813\_20200906.pdf' indicates up to 1.5 cm of deformation in a small area near the northeast toe of the landslide. On Landslide B, where movement was previously identified at the northeast toe of the slide, the interferogram is incoherent, and thus accurate deformation measurements cannot be made in this area from this interferogram. On the Northwest-facing slope, an area of westward movement indicated by (2) in the PDF attachment '20200813\_20200906.pdf' shows up to 1.5 cm of movement in an area where movement was previously identified. Other apparent movement of less than 1 cm indicated by (3) along the entire Northwest-facing slope may be an artefact due to satellite viewing geometry. **30 August 2020-23 September 2020:** Due to a large satellite orbital drift between acquisitions (perpendicular baseline = 200 m), this interferogram has very low coherence, and likely has several artefacts related to our inability to correct phase distortions in steep terrain at this time. Landslide B has very few coherent pixels. Although coherent pixels within Landslide B are pink and red (indicating movement), these also extend outside of the landslide and onto the Barry Arm glacier, which we would not expect to have the same deformation pattern. Therefore, it is difficult to differentiate deformation vs. baseline or unwrapping errors in this timeframe in Landslide B. Apparent movement up to 3 cm on the toe of Landslide A, as noted by reference (1) in the PDF attachment '20200830\_20200923.pdf', and apparent movement up to 6 cm of the Northwest slope, as noted by reference (2) in the PDF attachment '20200830\_20200923.pdf', are both areas that show movements in other interferograms with large perpendicular baselines (e.g., interferogram between 20 July 2020 – 13 August 2020 with a perpendicular baseline of 251.57 m). Thus, these apparent movements are likely related to errors associated with differences in satellite viewing geometries. **6 September 2020-30 September 2020**: This scene has similar features to the previous scene from this beam mode (13 August 2020-06 September 2020). In Landslide A, coherent pixels indicate that the majority of the landslide did not move during this time interval, or is moving on the millimeter scale. An area of movement noted by reference (1) in the PDF attachment '20200906\_20200930.pdf' indicates up to 2 cm of deformation in a small area near the northeast toe of the landslide, for a maximum of 3.5 cm of movement between the 13 August and 30 September. On Landslide B, areas of movement previously identified at the northeast toe of the slide are incoherent, and coherent pixels within the rest of the landslide indicate no movement or millimeter-scale movement. This is also the case on the Northwest-facing slope. **23 September 2020-17 October 2020:** In Landslide A, coherent pixels indicate that there was movement during this time frame. Discontinuous coherent pixels prevents the extraction of data from the entire slide, but several areas of movement are apparent in both the wrapped and unwrapped interferograms shown in the PDF attachment ‘20200923\_20201017.pdf’. During the unwrapping process, discontinuous and irregular ground movement can lead to unwrapping errors that result in a more smoothed characterization of movement than what actually occurred. Therefore, to best characterize movement, both the wrapped and unwrapped interferograms are included for this time period. The wrapped interferogram shows the phase of the synthetic aperture radar wave, where each “fringe”, or one full color cycle (i.e. purple to purple), correlates to 2.8 cm of movement. References (1)-(4) in the PDF attachment ‘20200923\_20201017.pdf’ are the same for both the wrapped and unwrapped interferograms, but the following details refer to the wrapped interferogram. In the central part of the slide, as noted by reference (1), approximately 6 fringes indicate about 17 cm (6 x 2.8 cm) of movement. In the northern part of the slide, as noted by reference (2), fringes are irregular and potentially show several different zones of movement, with about 5 fringes indicating 14 cm of movement in the area nearest to the head scarp. As noted by reference (3), an area near the south end of landslide also experienced movement, with about 1.5 fringes indicating 4.2 cm of movement. Landslide B is largely incoherent, and thus accurate deformation measurements cannot be made in this area. On a small portion of the Northwest slope, as noted by reference (4), one fringe may indicate 2.8 cm of movement. **30 September 2020-24 October 2020:** This scene contains substantial noise, likely from atmospheric conditions and snow fall during the time frame. The very high noise-to-signal ratio yields very few coherent pixels, resulting in insufficient measurements and therefore no viable interpretation of the scene. **Summary of movement during the 2020 monitoring period:** This data release has described the deformation of two landslides and the northwest-facing slope at the Barry Arm Fjord between 26 May and 24 October, 2020. Early (26 May– 19 June) and late (30 September – 24 October) scenes contained substantial noise, likely because of changes in snow cover or other atmospheric conditions, which resulted in very few coherent pixels and thus insufficient measurements. Additionally, we found that using the 5 m Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) Alaska Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from 2010 to create unwrapped interferograms did not fully remove topographic phase, especially in scenes with large satellite drift between acquisition dates. This problem was likely a result of changes in the landslide topography between 2010 and 2020 (Dai et al., 2020). All movement described is in the line of sight (LOS) of the satellite, where positive values indicate movement away from the satellite and/or subsidence, and negative values indicate movement towards the satellite and/or uplift in the unwrapped interferograms. A small area near the northeast toe of Landslide A had apparent movement of 3.5 cm between 13 August – 30 September. Otherwise, between 2 June – 30 September, the majority of Landslide A either showed no movement or moved on the millimeter scale. Between 30 September – 17 October, the central portion of Landslide A moved about 17 cm downslope. Although the data is discontinuous, there is evidence that several areas throughout the landslide experienced movement. Between 2 June – 6 August, the northernmost part of the toe of Landslide B moved about 15 cm downslope. After 6 August, the parts of the interferograms covering Landslide B were largely incoherent and accurate deformation measurements were not possible. The Northwest-facing slope had two areas of movement over this time frame. An area of approximately 0.04 km2 centered on -148.100, 61.153 (WGS84), moved about 7 cm downslope between 19 June and 6 September. An area of approximately 0.09 km2 near the toe of the glacier centered at -148.120, 61.142 (WGS84) moved about 5 cm downslope between 26 June and 17 October. All cumulative movement mentioned in this paragraph was determined by summing movement from individual scenes.

Data were acquired from two ultrafine beam modes, U19 and U15, that are acquired over the landslide every 24-days, beginning on May 26, 2020 and June 2, 2020, respectively. Each time period will have an associated unwrapped interferogram (units of line-of-sight displacement in centimeters) in geotiff and kmz format, along with a pdf that will highlight ground features and provide scale and satellite look direction information. For each time period, we describe interferogram results for three areas surrounding Barry Glacier: Landslide A, Landslide B, and the Northwest-facing slope. Results will be added to this data release as new scenes are acquired and processed. Artefacts within the scenes (e.g., due to atmospheric conditions or changing topographic conditions) can be identified by using several independent interferograms, and we will continue to monitor and assess the presence of artefacts over time. ## Preview Image  Annotated photo showing landslide areas ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5efa15fd82ced62aaaee1c7c) [](/catalog/item/imap/5efa15fd82ced62aaaee1c7c) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ## Communities -

Knowledge of ongoing landslide movement is essential to understanding the threat posed by the landslides. Because of the landslides\xe2\x80\x99 remote location, field-based ground monitoring is challenging. Alternatively, periodic acquisition and interferometric processing of satellite-based synthetic aperture radar data provide an accurate means to remotely monitor landslide movement. Here, we present the interferometric results of tasked RADARSAT-2 satellite synthetic aperture radar data. Data were acquired from two ultrafine beam modes, U19 and U15, that are acquired over the landslide every 24-days, beginning on May 26, 2020 and June 2, 2020, respectively.</abstract>\n <purpose>Data were obtained in order to assess deformation on landslides at the head of the Barry Arm Fjord.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <mdattim>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>20200526</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>20200602</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>20200619</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>20200626</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n </mdattim>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>ground condition</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>In work</progress>\n <update>Monthly</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-148.23303222434</westbc>\n <eastbc>-148.08471679466</eastbc>\n <northbc>61.157601976946</northbc>\n <southbc>61.070033586014</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>hazards</themekey>\n <themekey>IFSAR</themekey>\n <themekey>landslides</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5efa15fd82ced62aaaee1c7c</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Alaska</placekt>\n <placekey>Barry Arm Fjord</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>none</accconst>\n <useconst>none</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Jeffrey A Coe</cntper>\n <cntorg>ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION: GEOLOGIC HAZARDS SC</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Research Geologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>Mail Stop MS 966, 1711 Illinois St</address>\n <city>Golden</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80401</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>303-273-8606</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\n </idinfo>\n <dataqual>\n <attracc>\n <attraccr>Phase noise is estimated using coherence, which is a measure of similarity of the radar path reflection between two SAR images, ranging from 0 (phase is just noise) to 1 (complete absence of phase noise).</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted</logic>\n <complete>Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract.

Images were coregistered and visually checked for coregistration quality. An interferogram was created from the coregistered images by cross multiplying the first image (earlier date) with the complex conjugate of the second image (later date), and flat-earth phase was removed. Topographic phase contributions were removed using the 2010 IFSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) 5m-horizontal resolution digital terrain model (DTM). Multilooking and a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) Goldstein filter (Goldstein and Werner, 1998) was used to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the image. The interferograms were then unwrapped using SNAPHU (Chen and Zebker, 2002), and the line-of-sight (LOS) phase change in radians was converted to LOS displacement in centimeters. Geometric distortions were corrected using the IFSAR DTM. A linear phase ramp was removed by fitting and subtracting a 1st order polynomial, and areas suspected of deformation were excluded. The value of an assumed stable (i.e. no deformation) reference point outside of the landslide with high coherence was subtracted from the landslide areas. Any pixels in the final unwrapped interferogram with coherence &lt; 0.25 were masked out.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200701</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <geograph>\n <latres>0.001</latres>\n <longres>0.001</longres>\n <geogunit>Decimal degrees</geogunit>\n </geograph>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84)</horizdn>\n <ellips>WGS_1984</ellips>\n <semiaxis>6378137</semiaxis>\n <denflat>298.257223563</denflat>\n </geodetic>\n </horizsys>\n </spref>\n <eainfo>\n <overview>\n <eaover>Geotiff</eaover>\n <eadetcit>Sustainability of Digital Formats: Planning for Library of Congress Collections.

Data observed at the streamgages for the period of August 1, 2014 through March 31, 2017 are considered. This dataset includes 1) all data used to develop prediction intervals for the titled estimation site based upon the titled index streamgage for the period of May 1, 2015 to March 31, 2017 and 2) evaluation of data observed before May 1, 2015. For prediction interval development, a Move.1 regression was developed between the titled estimation site and titled index streamgage. From this regression model, Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) is reported, and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency value is computed. The prediction interval development is included for the 95% prediction interval for both the nonparametric and parametric methods. For the parametric method, any prediction interval can be developed by changing Student's t critical value. Any data that were observed before May 1, 2015 were evaluated to see if they fell within the 95% nonparametric prediction interval. The data chosen for the regression development and evaluation is streamflow that is not influenced by runoff. Streamflow that occurred the day of precipitation and two days after is considered influenced by runoff and not included in the dataset. Not all streamgages have the same period of record; dates where data were observed both at the titled index streamgage and estimation site are described below in the "Time Period of Data" section. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Elizabeth A Hittle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4598) Originator : [Elizabeth A Hittle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4598) Metadata Contact : [Elizabeth A Hittle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4598) 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/5ba55192e4b08583a5c9d57d?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5ba55192e4b08583a5c9d57d?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5ba55192e4b08583a5c9d57d?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Estimation Site 03107698; Spreadsheets and Metadata.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 23.4 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Index Streamgage 03072890\_daily, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 8.83 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03081800, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 7.35 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03105927, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 7.51 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03108000\_daily, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 3.26 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03108010, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 7.97 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03110830\_daily, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 3.25 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03111200, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 9.08 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03111215, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 9.83 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03111235, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models.zip | | 8.34 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03111675, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 8.67 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03111705, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 7.68 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03111890, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 7.33 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03112000\_daily, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models, Evaluation.zip | | 3.25 MB | application/zip | | Index Streamgage 03114094, Estimation Site 03107698; Data, Regression Models.zip | | 7.87 MB | application/zip | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Hittle, E., and Risser, D.W., 2019, Estimation of base flow on ungaged, periodically measured streams in small watersheds in western Pennsylvania: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2018–5150, 42 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185150 | [https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185150](https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185150 "https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185150") | ## Purpose The purpose of this child page is to document all data and model development accomplished with various index gages and the titled streamgage used as the estimation site.

A total of 273 plots were inventoried for mangrove species. Each plot was composed of 10-m fixed-radius plots as well as 3-m fixed-radius subplots. The large and medium trees (\xe2\x89\xa5 5 cm DBH) were measured in the 10-meter radius circular plots, and saplings (&lt; 5 cm DBH) were measured in the smaller 3-meter circular subplots. Diameter at breast height (DBH) measurements were taken at 1.3 m, or in the case of Rhizophora species, just above the highest stilt root. Height was measured with TruPulse 200X, TruPulse 360R or a tape measurer. Standing dead trees were assigned to one of three classes: Status 1 (recently dead trees without leaves); Status 2 (dead trees without secondary branches); and Status 3 (dead trees without primary and secondary branches; missing part of their main stem). Downed dead wood (DDW) \xe2\x89\xa5 5 cm in diameter were counted in each plot along four 10 m transects extending from plot center outwards in the four cardinal directions. Diameter of the individual DDW pieces were not measured but can be estimated per plot as the average diameter of trees in that plot with diameter \xe2\x89\xa5 5 cm.</methdesc>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Kauffman, J.B., and D.C.

The National Water Census is a USGS research program that focuses on national water availability and use and then develops new water accounting tools and assesses water availability at both the regional and national scales. One of the water management needs that the DRB study addressed, and that was identified by stakeholder groups from the DRB, was to improve the integration of state water use and water-supply data and to provide the compiled water use information to basin users. This water use information was also used in the hydrologic modeling and ecological components of the study. ## Preview Image  Subwatersheds (HUC12s) in the Delaware River Basin. ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [water use](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwater+use "water use (water use, Theme, Water Science Field Team Keywords)") - [water withdrawals](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwater+withdrawals "water withdrawals (water withdrawals, Theme, Water Science Field Team Keywords)") - [withdrawals](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwithdrawals "withdrawals (withdrawals, Theme, Water Science Field Team Keywords)") Place - [DE](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDE "DE (DE, Place, )") - [Delaware](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDelaware "Delaware (Delaware, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Delaware River](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDelaware+River "Delaware River (Delaware River, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Delaware River Basin](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDelaware+River+Basin "Delaware River Basin (Delaware River Basin, Place, )") - [NJ](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNJ "NJ (NJ, Place, )") - [NY](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNY "NY (NY, Place, )") - [New Jersey](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNew+Jersey "New Jersey (New Jersey, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [New York](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNew+York "New York (New York, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [PA](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DPA "PA (PA, Place, )") - [Pennsylvania](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DPennsylvania "Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") Types - [Citation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DCitation "Citation") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Thiamine is an essential nutrient, and thiamine deficiency can result in reproductive failure due to mortality of eggs, embryos, or emergent fry. The concentrations of thiamine have been historically low over the past three decades in Great Lakes lake trout and other salmonines and has caused reproductive failures. Thiamine concentrations in the eggs of lake trout are used to help predict the potential of reproductive failures when below threshold levels. These data can be used to evaluate long-term trends in thiamine concentrations in lake trout eggs from lakes Huron and Michigan. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5dea990ce4b02caea0f06e75) [](/catalog/item/imap/5dea990ce4b02caea0f06e75) ## Communities -

Ripe female lake trout were captured using gill nets or trap nets. Lake trout were sacrificed and eggs were removed and frozen as soon as possible. Egg samples were shipped on ice to laboratories (at the Northern Appalachian Research Center, the Great Lakes Science Center, SUNY Brockport, or the Columbia Environmental Science Center) and frozen immediately upon receipt.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>HPLC thiamine analysis: Lake trout egg samples were initially (1996-2004) analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (Brown et al. 1998) at the USGS Northern Appalachian Research Center in Wellsboro, PA. Briefly, 0.5 g of eggs were homogenized and extracted in ice cold 2% trichloroacetic acid (TCA), boiled for 10 min., cooled, homogenized again after addition of 10% TCA, centrifuged at 14,000 g, and supernatant washed with 4 volumes ethyl acetate:hexane (3:2 volume:volume ratio). The stabilized extract was combined with NaOH and 0.1% potassium ferricynide to convert thiamine vitamers to thiochrome. Oxidized thiochrome solutions were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a reverse phase column and fluorescence detection. Calibration was against standards for free thiamine, thiamine diphosphate, and thiamine monophosphate.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2004</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>RSPE thiamine analysis: Because the HPLC method is relatively expensive, onerous, and time-consuming, an alternative method (Rapid Solid Phase Extraction Fluorometric method; RSPE) was developed at the USGS CERC in Columbia, MO (Zajicek et al. 2005). The RSPE method was used for all eggs analyzed since 2005. Briefly, , 1.0 g of egg samples were homogenized in ice cold 2% TCA, boiled for 10 min., cooled and centrifuged at 14,000 g for 15 min. The supernatant was applied to a reverse-phase solid phase extraction (SPE) column and eluted with phosphate buffer (PO4, pH 2.0, fraction 1), twice with 10% methanol in PO4 buffer (fraction 2). Both fractions were oxidized with NaOH and 0.1% potassium ferricynide to convert thiamine vitamers to thiochrome. Thiamine vitamers were analyzed by fluorescence at excitation wavelength 360 nm and emission wavelength 460 nm. Calibration was against standards for free thiamine, thiamine diphosphate, and thiamine monophosphate. \nTo compare results from HPLC and RSPE methods, egg samples were analyzed using both methods in 2006 and a linear regression relationship was used to develop a correction factor that was applied to the RSPE values. When applying the correction factor to RSPE values if the resulting thiamine concentration was less than zero, the concentration was given a value of 0 (zero). All thiamine concentrations reported here represent total thiamine, or the sum of the three thiamine vitamers: thiamine, thiamine monophosphate and thiamine pyrophosphate</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <method>\n <methtype>both</methtype>\n <methdesc>USGS began cooperating with natural resource agencies to conduct a monitoring program in lakes Michigan and Huron to assess egg thiamine concentrations in lake trout populations. Partner agencies include the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Indiana DNR, Wisconsin DNR, Michigan DNR, the Little Traverse Bay Band of Ottawa Indians, the Grand Traverse Bay Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, the Illinois Natural History Survey, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Chippewa Ottawa Resource Authority, and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Egg samples were collected by these agencies during fall lake trout spawning assessments and eggs were frozen and shipped to USGS laboratories for analysis.

This grain size is biologically appropriate given the scale of movement of most bat species, which routinely travel many kilometers each night between roosts and foraging areas and along foraging routes. A draw of sample units from a finite sampling frame using the GRTS design produces an ordered list of units such that any ordered subset of that list is also randomized and spatially balanced. This vector dataset is the individual grid-based sampling grid for Hawaii at a 5x5km resolution. ## Summary The NABat sampling frame is a grid-based finite-area frame spanning Canada, the United States, and Mexico consisting of N total number of 10- by 10-km (100-km2) grid cell sample units.

This effort was undertaken to estimate the mean annual snow as a percent of total precipitation, 1905-2002 for NHDPlusV2 flowline catchments and upstream river networks to support statistical analysis, map display, and model parameterization.</purpose>\n <supplinf>The data processed here uses a modified routing data base for the NHDPlusV2 flowline network (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2016). The NHDPlusV2 flowline network serves as the spatial infrastructure for many water-quality modeling efforts included under NAWQA Cycle 3 status and trend assessments including the SPARROW (SPAtially Referenced Regressions On Watershed attributes) model (Rowe and others, 2009). The NHDPlusV2 flowline network is a publically available digital geospatial framework (database) that depicts the network of stream segments and their catchments within the conterminous United States (see Moore and Diewald, 2016 for more detail). The NHDPlusv2 data set includes catchments for each reach covering the conterminous U.S. which includes the catchment boundaries in neighboring Canada and Mexico. These catchments are used as the spatial units for zonal statistics. A statistic (summation, average, minimum or maximum) is calculated for each zone (catchment), based on values from the source ancillary data set (See Process_Description for more details). The output of these values are used as the source input data for an accumulation program which uses a routing database to allocate and accumulate landscape metrics. This database is based on a topologically reconditioned version of the NHDPlusV2 hydrography network and is used for routing purposes only. No cartographic changes were made to the original NHDPlusV2 in either the flowline or catchment line work.\n\nThe impetus for this work is for parameterizing the USGS SPARROW model. The framework for that model is based on the NHDPlusV2 reaches (not catchments). The statistical algorithms in SPARROW require that all reaches must have data values assigned to them. It uses all from-to node connectivity to route and accumulate variables throughout the network (see Schwarz and Wieczorek). It is noted that NHDPlusV2 contains more reaches than catchments (see NHDPlus Version 2: User Guide (Data Model Version 2.1) for more details). Values are filled in for those reaches that do not have catchments based on a fill-in procedure described in Schwarz and Wieczorek. The item COMID is a unique identifier which can be used to join these data to catchment and flowline features in the NHDPlusV2 data suite. There may be values filled in for those flowline reaches that do not have associated catchments. User should use caution and read the contents of this file before using the data.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>1901</begdate>\n <enddate>2002</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>publication date</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>As needed</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-127.910792</westbc>\n <eastbc>-65.327751</eastbc>\n <northbc>51.657387</northbc>\n <southbc>23.243486</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>CONUS United States</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>snow percent of total precipitation</themekey>\n <themekey>SPARROW</themekey>\n <themekey>Inlandwaters</themekey>\n <themekey>NHDPlus</themekey>\n <themekey>snow</themekey>\n <themekey>NAWQA</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:57053dc5e4b0d4e2b756c117</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>None</placekt>\n <placekey>Conterminous United States</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>none</accconst>\n <useconst>One should use caution and read this document before using these data to estimate smaller areas.

The following steps were performed before making the comparisons:\n\n1) GAGESII point file with the most current COMIDs associations was joined to the routing database file which contains accumulated basin areas (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2016).\n2) Only those GAGESII points that have a basin area within 1% or less of the accumulated basin areas were processed and used for comparisons. This resulted in 4,713 locations.\n3) Using those COMIDs for GAGESII sites, the associated record in the accumulation files were pulled and used in the comparison of one to one plots.\n\nResults demonstrated a Pearson\'s r-squared of over 99%. Outliers can be attributed to either the difference in the basin delineations of GAGESII basins compared to that of the catchment representations in NHDPlus version 2 or to the fact that this data set only reports data from the downstream end of reaches and their upstream contribution. GAGESII basin outlets can occur anywhere along a reach segment which can result in different results depending on the variability of the source data being compiled and the distance between the GAGES II basin outlet and the downstream endpoint of the reach segment. NHDPlus version 2 reach segments can be as long as 95 kilometers and some source data can be widely variable within an NHDPlus reach catchment. As a result, some data processed from the location of a GAGESII pour point compared to the downstream end of a reach segment can result in differences in accumulated variables.</attraccr>\n </attracc>\n <logic>None</logic>\n <complete>None</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 <srcinfo>\n <srccite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>McCabe and Wolock</origin>\n <pubdate>2008</pubdate>\n <title>Long-term variability in Northern Hemisphere snow cover and associations with warmer winters</title>\n <pubinfo>\n <pubplace>online</pubplace>\n <publish>Climatic Change, Volume 99, Issue 1-2 , pp 141-153</publish>\n </pubinfo>\n <onlink>https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/70044251</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </srccite>\n <typesrc>online</typesrc>\n <srctime>\n <timeinfo>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>2009</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n </timeinfo>\n <srccurr>publication date</srccurr>\n </srctime>\n <srccitea>PRSNOW_CONUS</srccitea>\n <srccontr>The source data provided information on estimated mean annual snow as a percent of total precipitation, 1901-2002.</srccontr>\n </srcinfo>\n <srcinfo>\n <srccite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Gregory E.

Juveniles were subjected to three different feeding regimes: 0, 0.4 and 1.2 µg Hg (as MeHgCL)/g wet weight (ww) fish. We then measured baseline and 30 min post-solitary confinement stressor corticosterone concentrations. The data set consists of times of blood draws and dietary Hg levels. Blood samples and data set were provided to the senior author for analysis. ## Summary To help determine whether Hg had a causal effect on corticosterone, we investigated the impact of experimental Hg intake on the corticosterone stress response in captive juvenile loons.

Standard disclaimers for use of information are also provided (http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/disclaim.html).</purpose>\n <supplinf>Results are presented in 4 spreadsheets: \n1. Long-term trends (1966[68] - 2019) from the BBS core area using Link and Sauer (2002) definition of trend as a ratio of endpoints of annual indices. (Spreadsheet name: BBS_1966-2019_core_trend_best.csv). The core area is the region used for BBS analyses in prior years (e.g., Sauer and Link 2011), and omits NWT, YT, NF, and portion of AK (BCRs 02 and 03), but includes the core area survey estimates (SU1), the contiguous United States (US1), and portions of Canada in the core area (CA1). Starting year varies from 1966-1968 [1966(68)], depending on region.\n2. Trends for the interval 1993 - 2019 from an expanded BBS area and species list, computed using the ratio metric. Analysis for the expanded BBS area was initiated in 2015 to allow of incorporation of northern regions that contained very sparse data prior to 1993 (Sauer et al. 2017), and includes data from NWT, YT, NF, and BCRs 02 and 03 in AK. Summaries for the survey (SUR), the United States (US), and Canada (CA) contain results from this expanded area. (Spreadsheet name: BBS_1993-2019_expanded_trend_best.csv)\n3. Annual indices for 1966(68) - 2019 from the core area. These are yearly indexes of abundance estimated using a hierarchical model analysis for regions corresponding to the long-term ratio trend estimates (1). (Spreadsheet: Index_Best_1966-2019_core.csv)\n4. Annual indices from 1993 - 2019 for the expanded area. These are yearly indexes of abundance estimated using a hierarchical model analysis for regions corresponding to the 1993 - 2019 ratio trend estimates (3).(Spreadsheet: Index_Best_1993-2019_expanded.csv).\nAdditional information regarding data and interpretation of results are available on the BBS analysis website (http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/), with associated help files at (http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/helpind15.html).

Models undergo revisions from year to year. In this analysis, we conducted model selection from \nmodel set that consisted of 4 models that differed with regard to their year effects structure and form of overdispersion. \nWe denote the four models as D, Dh, S, and Sh. Model S has been used for BBS analyses since 2012, and the additional models have \nbeen recently described (Link and Sauer 2016, Link et al. 2020). The S models (S and Sh) assume that year effects are conditionally \nindependent and normally distributed with precision that is allowed to vary among strata. The expected value of the year effects \nare defined by a slope parameter and an intercept baseline abundance parameter for each stratum. The D models (D and Dh) assume \nthat differences in year effects are conditionally independent, and are normally distributed with mean of the year effect in \nthe adjacent earlier year y\xe2\x88\x921. In models S and D, extra-Poisson overdispersion effects are assumed to be independent and normally distributed. \nThe h models (Sh and Dh) specify a heavy-tailed central t-distribution in modeling extra-Poisson variation.</tooldesc>\n <toolacc>\n <toolinst>Sauer, J.

All trend analyses and annual indices are based on a common analysis based on a model set of 4 models. Interactive summary programs provide regional trend estimates based on intermediate statistics from that analysis, and thus do not constitute a separate analysis. Regions with no data from the first 15 years of the survey period were also excluded from this analysis due to the limited time series relative to other regions. The data from these regions are available from the BBS website (http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs) for analysis. Abundance estimates from the trend portion of the program are estimated from the hierarchical model, and have variance components added to accommodate asymmetries in the lognormal distribution. Regions with limited and variable data may have large and imprecise estimates. Note that this analysis is fit using MCMC (Markov chain Monte Carlo) methods; convergence may sometimes be an issue in regions with small sample sizes or poorly conditioned data. In summaries, data deemed suspect are flagged using credibility measures. \n\nData were taken from Pardieck et al. (2020), and processed into input files for each species using fortran programs. The data set produced by Pardieck et al. (2020) has to be filtered to remove data not that do not meet protocol standards (see Pardieck et al. [2020] for details associated with route acceptability). In this dataset, we selected data for inclusion in the analysis by matching the route-year identifiers for acceptable data and prepared species-specific data sets that included zero data not included in the database and index observer information within routes. We did not include data from routes on which species were never encountered for analysis of those species. We included data in these analyses that were collected using an alternative protocol that was determined in a prior analysis to not bias estimation (see Sauer et al. [2019] for details of this analysis and definition of the alternative protocol.). Those data were. coded in the database as Run Protocol ID 501 (Pardieck et al. 2020). Data included in the analysis, and procedures used to process the data have changed over time to accommodate differences in the database and changes in criteria used to judge suitability of data for analysis. Periodic revision occurs in the database and analysis results to correct errors; we note that minor differences are to be expected in datasets due to these corrections and due to changes in data standards and quality coding over time. \n\nThe analysis is conducted within strata formed by the intersections of states/provinces and Bird Conservation Regions (BCR). Here is a listing of the strata, with associated areas. Codes for states, provinces, and BCRs are presented below. Composite trends for states, provinces, BCRs, and other regions are estimated as weighted averages of these strata. \n(State or Province,BCR,Area [km^2]), \n(69,5,84970), \n(11,5,211038), \n(14,5,47422), \n(89,5,54605), \n(11,6,109676), \n(4,6,459346), \n(45,6,91421), \n(79,6,181284), \n(4,8,4892), \n(45,8,235577), \n(68,8,438587), \n(76,8,473255), \n(79,8,180093), \n(33,9,114065), \n(89,9,102054), \n(11,9,61595), \n(69,9,118591), \n(85,9,88502), \n(14,9,40060), \n(55,9,254421), \n(92,9,182), \n(17,10,9550), \n(11,10,395758), \n(85,10,2785), \n(33,10,106752), \n(4,10,55633), \n(92,10,168740), \n(53,10,162272), \n(69,10,54961), \n(89,10,23429), \n(81,11,89159), \n(79,11,244308), \n(50,11,70055), \n(53,11,85092), \n(45,11,70198), \n(54,11,15837), \n(64,11,128715), \n(4,11,151128), \n(36,11,31175), \n(50,12,88766), \n(49,12,87542), \n(91,12,46510), \n(68,12,206529), \n(45,12,15364), \n(76,12,173719), \n(76,13,27810), \n(72,13,8310), \n(87,13,4764), \n(68,13,83958), \n(66,13,21898), \n(61,13,53346), \n(87,14,20492), \n(56,14,73082), \n(18,14,1055), \n(65,14,58116), \n(61,14,29291), \n(76,14,71276), \n(75,14,6102), \n(47,14,5628), \n(44,14,82136), \n(58,14,19869), \n(14,15,53437), \n(55,15,1402), \n(60,16,135319), \n(17,16,149799), \n(6,16,95205), \n(92,16,11757), \n(33,16,915), \n(55,16,199), \n(85,16,132639), \n(53,17,140971), \n(64,17,55522), \n(54,17,5651), \n(92,17,64578), \n(81,17,104585), \n(83,18,107624), \n(38,18,38119), \n(60,18,67400), \n(92,18,12060), \n(54,18,36038), \n(17,18,113916), \n(81,18,2375), \n(67,18,11183), \n(83,19,89614), \n(38,19,111793), \n(81,19,732), \n(67,19,76375), \n(54,19,121439), \n(83,20,59498), \n(38,21,237), \n(83,21,153482), \n(67,21,42105), \n(54,22,21888), \n(35,22,44738), \n(67,22,15874), \n(52,22,83340), \n(81,22,3606), \n(91,22,1511), \n(36,22,108617), \n(34,22,123753), \n(38,22,66015), \n(49,22,4067), \n(50,22,10333), \n(66,22,52341), \n(34,23,3398), \n(66,23,115), \n(91,23,97610), \n(36,23,7285), \n(50,23,49736), \n(35,23,13230), \n(49,23,58676), \n(67,24,7662), \n(82,24,40545), \n(66,24,1826), \n(2,24,8123), \n(39,24,69733), \n(52,24,86855), \n(38,24,105), \n(34,24,18580), \n(7,24,33651), \n(35,24,35919), \n(67,25,29784), \n(42,25,47483), \n(7,25,66056), \n(83,25,71232), \n(51,26,20377), \n(39,26,816), \n(82,26,2285), \n(42,26,41168), \n(7,26,39135), \n(34,26,456), \n(52,26,10700), \n(42,27,7405), \n(25,27,51646), \n(82,27,25146), \n(2,27,83157), \n(39,27,4051), \n(63,27,60446), \n(88,27,17774), \n(80,27,51128), \n(27,27,93959), \n(51,27,103618), \n(46,28,4590), \n(2,28,37615), \n(18,28,885), \n(39,28,30189), \n(72,28,97265), \n(61,28,37388), \n(88,28,39806), \n(47,28,716), \n(66,28,30877), \n(82,28,41449), \n(80,28,1767), \n(27,28,16202), \n(90,28,62910), \n(63,28,21189), \n(59,28,3825), \n(27,29,42656), \n(80,29,27253), \n(46,29,7126), \n(21,29,212), \n(88,29,42631), \n(59,29,3711), \n(0,29,32), \n(72,29,11867), \n(2,29,5463), \n(63,29,46166), \n(58,30,4192), \n(59,30,12176), \n(47,30,14868), \n(87,30,78), \n(61,30,5285), \n(21,30,4871), \n(0,30,138), \n(77,30,2615), \n(88,30,3555), \n(18,30,10982), \n(72,30,413), \n(46,30,14329), \n(44,30,2132), \n(25,31,94976), \n(14,32,173084), \n(85,33,607), \n(14,33,106686), \n(6,33,108838), \n(55,33,40081), \n(6,34,98755), \n(60,34,28942), \n(60,35,89028), \n(6,35,956), \n(83,35,102630), \n(83,36,70392), \n(42,37,25340), \n(51,37,119), \n(83,37,41294),</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200720</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <method>\n <methtype>Field</methtype>\n <methdesc>Methods for summary analyses and descriptions of results has been documented in numerous publications.

A minor change was implemented in the counting of sample sizes for the 2015 analysis. In past analyses, we calculated the number of routes on which the species was observed at least once. However, some of these routes were not included in that analysis due to limited data on the route or because it occurred in a stratum that did not meet the minimum sample size requirements (4 routes) for that stratum to be included in the analysis. Excluding these routes lead to slightly smaller sample sizes that better reflect the actual number of routes contributing information to the analyses. The analysis has not changed; we only modified how we computed number of routes included in the analysis. In the 2018 analysis, we corrected our sample size computation to exclude routes on which the species had been encountered only on a year in which the data were not admissible for the analysis. These data were never used in the analysis, but in earlier years those routes were included in the N routes on which the species occurred. They were excluded in this computation of N Routes.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>A positive integer representing number of survey routes on which the species was encountered during the interval.

A minor change was implemented in the counting of sample sizes for the 2015 analysis. In past analyses, we calculated the number of routes on which the species was observed at least once. However, some of these routes were not included in that analysis due to limited data on the route or because it occurred in a stratum that did not meet the minimum sample size requirements (4 routes) for that stratum to be included in the analysis. Excluding these routes lead to slightly smaller sample sizes that better reflect the actual number of routes contributing information to the analyses. The analysis has not changed; we only modified how we computed number of routes included in the analysis. In the 2018 analysis, we corrected our sample size computation to exclude routes on which the species had been encountered only on a year in which the data were not admissible for the analysis. These data were never used in the analysis, but in earlier years those routes were included in the N routes on which the species occurred. They were excluded in this computation of N Routes.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>A positive integer representing number of survey routes on which the species was encountered during the interval.

See Sauer and Link (2011, p. 89, col 2, para 4) for a precise definition of the indexes; a qualitative description of them is that they represent the mean count of birds on a typical route in the region for a year. We note that for some species (e.g., Tricolored Blackbirds and White-faced Ibis), the annual indices are very large. This indicates that the indices for these species are very imprecisely estimated.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>NaN,\'*****\'</edomv>\n <edomvd>Inadmissible values</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Annual indexes are relative abundance estimates for all years, estimated as yearly predicted abundances from the hierarchical model analysis.

Primary results are provided in spreadsheet form, and are described in this metadata.\nResults are presented in 4 spreadsheets: \n1. Long-term trends (1966[68] - 2019) from the BBS core area using Link and Sauer (2002) definition of trend as a ratio of endpoints of annual indices. (Spreadsheet name: BBS_1966-2019_core_trend_best.csv). The core area is the region used for BBS analyses in prior years (e.g., Sauer and Link 2011), and omits NWT, YT, NF, and portion of AK (BCRs 02 and 03), but includes the core area survey estimates (SU1), the contiguous United States (US1), and portions of Canada in the core area (CA1). Starting year varies from 1966-1968 [1966(68)], depending on region.\n2. Trends for the interval 1993 - 2018 from an expanded BBS area and species list, computed using the ratio metric. Analysis for the expanded BBS area was initiated in 2015 to allow of incorporation of northern regions that contained very sparse data prior to 1993 (Sauer et al. 2017), and includes data from NWT, YT, NF, and BCRs 02 and 03 in AK. Summaries for the survey (SUR), the United States (US), and Canada (CA) contain results from this expanded area. (Spreadsheet name: BBS_1993-2019_expanded_trend_best.csv)\n3. Annual indices for 1966(68) - 2019 from the core area. These are yearly indexes of abundance estimated using a hierarchical model analysis for regions corresponding to the long-term ratio trend estimates (1). (Spreadsheet: Index_Best_1966-2019_core.csv)\n4. Annual indices from 1993 - 2019 for the expanded area. These are yearly indexes of abundance estimated using a hierarchical model analysis for regions corresponding to the 1993 - 2019 ratio trend estimates (3).(Spreadsheet: Index_Best_1993-2019_expanded.csv).</eaover>\n <eadetcit>The North American Breeding Bird Survey, Analysis Results 1966 - 2019</eadetcit>\n </overview>\n </eainfo>\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>Although these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.

The tanks were open to the atmosphere, and were closed to the river. Tanks were filled with native water within 1-2 hours prior to the first profile collected on May 6, July 8, and September 16. Nutrients were added at approximately 12:00 p.m. on May 6, 11:45 a.m. on July 8, and 11:00 a.m. on September 16. Sodium nitrate was added for the nitrate treatments, sodium phosphate was added for the phosphate treatments, and ammonium hydroxide was added for the ammonium treatments. Nutrient samples were collected and processed by Nova Southeastern University. Water-quality measurements were made at 3 depths within each fiberglass tank, near the surface (approximately 1 foot deep), near the middle of the water column, (approximately 2 feet deep) and near the bottom (approximately 3 feet deep), and at approximately 1, 2, and 3 feet deep within the river itself. Each depth location value represents an approximate 30 second average. Water-quality characteristics measured and recorded include water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, chlorophyll fluorescence, phycocyanin fluorescence, and fluorescence of dissolved organic matter. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Amanda C Booth](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=995) Originator : [Amanda C Booth](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=995), [Travis Knight](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=13414) Metadata Contact : [Amanda C Booth](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=995) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=24099) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5e9df57f82ce172707fb8e07?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5e9df57f82ce172707fb8e07?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5e9df57f82ce172707fb8e07?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 7564cfd1-1666-40d7-82ac-b217ac99f5be.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 15.55 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Mesocosm\_profiles\_datarelease\_data.csv | | 38.86 KB | text/csv | | Mesocosm\_profiles\_datarelease.xlsx | | 79.41 KB | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet | | Mesocosm\_profiles\_datarelease\_readme.csv | | 3.74 KB | text/csv | ## Purpose The data were collected by the USGS Caribbean Florida Water Science Center in cooperation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to document the response of phytoplankton and associated water-quality parameters with the addition of selected nutrients.

Five-year compilations of water use have been published for Florida since 1970. The data are also supplied to the USGS National Water-Use Program as part of a similar program to collect, compile, and publish water-use data for the United States. Table 9 provides 2015 water withdrawal totals by water management district, category, and water source. The five water management districts are the Northwest Florida Water Management District, St Johns River Water Management District, South Florida Water Management District, Southwest Florida Water Management District, and Suwannee River Water Management District. The categories include public supply, domestic self-supplied, commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied, agricultural irrigation, recreational-landscape irrigation and power generation. Water withdrawals are differentiated between ground and surface water for both fresh and saline sources. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5a4d0102e4b0d05ee8c4cb05) [](/catalog/item/imap/5a4d0102e4b0d05ee8c4cb05) ## Communities - USGS Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [Domestic](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDomestic "Domestic (Domestic, Theme, None)") - [Domestic water use](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DDomestic+water+use "Domestic water use (Domestic water use, Theme, None)") - [Environment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEnvironment "Environment (Environment, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Categories)") - [Northwest Florida Water Management District](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNorthwest+Florida+Water+Management+District "Northwest Florida Water Management District (Northwest Florida Water Management District, Theme, None)") - [Public Supply](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DPublic+Supply "Public Supply (Public Supply, Theme, None)") - [Public Supply water use](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DPublic+Supply+water+use "Public Supply water use (Public Supply water use, Theme, None)") - [South Florida Water Management District](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSouth+Florida+Water+Management+District "South Florida Water Management District (South Florida Water Management District, Theme, None)") - [Southwest Florida Water Management District](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSouthwest+Florida+Water+Management+District "Southwest Florida Water Management District (Southwest Florida Water Management District, Theme, None)") - [St Johns River Water Management District](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSt+Johns+River+Water+Management+District "St Johns River Water Management District (St Johns River Water Management District, Theme, None)") - [Suwannee River Water Management District](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSuwannee+River+Water+Management+District "Suwannee River Water Management District (Suwannee River Water Management District, Theme, None)") - [consumptive use](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dconsumptive+use "consumptive use (consumptive use, Theme, None)") - [water use](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwater+use "water use (water use, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [water withdrawals](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwater+withdrawals "water withdrawals (water withdrawals, Theme, None)") - [withdrawals](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwithdrawals "withdrawals (withdrawals, Theme, None)") Place - [Florida](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DFlorida "Florida (Florida, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

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. \n\nReferences relevant to this release include: Wight, D., 1991, MT/EMAP Data Interchange Standard, The Society of Exploration Geophysicists, accessed January 19, 2021, at https://www.seg.org/Portals/0/SEG/News%20and%20Resources/Technical%20Standards/seg_mt_emap_1987.pdf. \n\nThis metadata documents the full suite of MT data for this site and includes the files below.

The overall absolute vertical accuracy of the seamless DEMs within the conterminous United States (2013), expressed as the root mean square error (RMSE) of 25,310 reference points, was 1.55 meters (USGS, 2014 - https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20141008 ). The vertical accuracy varies across the U.S. as a result of differences in source DEM quality, terrain relief, land cover, and other factors.\n\nGesch, D.B., Oimoen, M.J., and Evans, G.A., 2014, Accuracy assessment of the U.S. Geological Survey National Elevation Dataset, and comparison with other large-area elevation datasets-SRTM and ASTER: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2014-1008, 10 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20141008.</vertaccr>\n </vertacc>\n </posacc>\n <lineage>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Time-series electric and magnetic field data were collected in a geomagnetic north and east coordinate system using a Zonge Electrical Network (ZEN) instrument at each site location.

Remote reference processing, in which synchronously recording stations are processed together to remove incoherent noise, was carried out using all possible station combinations. Impedance and tipper transfer functions were calculated at each station. System and sensor responses were accounted for during this process and transfer function estimates were made for particular frequency bandwidths for each data run.

So-called optimal transfer functions were selected based on examination of phase slope, smooth curve assumptions, and operator discretion. Transfer function estimates provided in the attached *.edi file and displayed in the attached *.png file have been rotated to geographic coordinates (right hand rule, X+ = North, Z+ = down).

There were a total of 704 annual movements. The dataset spans from 2001 to 2015. Annual movements were based on a single location in January or February and another location in the subsequent winter. An individual elk was included at most three times (once for each year) in the data. All elk were female, except one of the individuals in the dataset was a male. We included his movement in the analysis for completeness, but as there was only one male we chose not to directly model any differences in movement behavior between male and female elk. ## Summary 521 unique elk were monitored across several years with GPS collars in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to determine winter-to-winter annual dispersal distances.

The data were evaluated with respect to sensor specifications given in instrumentation manuals from the manufacturers (vendors) and erroneous values were removed. These contained the following sensor specifications. The tipping-bucket precipitation gage is a WaterLOG model H-340 with a resolution of 0.25 mm representing one tip of the bucket, and an accuracy of \xc2\xb13 percent at 635 mm/h. The air-temperature relative-humidity sensor is a Vaisala HMP35C/ Rotronic HC2-S3 from CSI with a temperature accuracy of \xc2\xb10.4\xc2\xb0C over a range of -40 to 100\xc2\xb0C, and measures a relative humidity accuracy of \xc2\xb12 percent within the range from 0 to 90 percent and \xc2\xb13 percent within the range from 90 to 100 percent. The Vaisala/ Rotronic temperature and humidity sensor is mounted inside a 12\xe2\x80\x91plate gill radiation shield. Solar radiation is measured with a LI-COR LI200X silicon pyranometer calibrated against an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer, and has a maximum error of \xc2\xb15 per\xc2\xadcent. The net radiometer is a Radiation and Energy Balance Systems (REBS) Q7.1 net radiometer, which has a spectral response from 0.25 to 60 \xc2\xb5m, with a nominal resistance of 4 ohms. Wind speed and direction are measured by a Met One 034A-L Windset with a wind speed accuracy of \xc2\xb10.12 m/s, a threshold of 0.28 m/s, and wind direction accuracy of \xc2\xb14 degrees. The barometric-pressure sensor is a CSI SBP270 with a pressure range from 800 to 1,100 mbar and an accuracy of \xc2\xb10.2 mbar. Soil temperature is measured with a TCAV-L averaging soil-temperature probe manufactured by CSI with two junctions at two depths and constructed using a Type-E thermocouple (chromel-constantan) wire. The four thermocouples and associated reference temperature define an averaged soil temperature with a typical uncertainty of 0.5\xc2\xb0C, but the uncertainty can be as high as 1.6\xc2\xb0C. The soil-heat flux is measured with two REBS HFT3.1 heat-flow transducer plates with a nominal resistance of 2 ohms and a thermal conductivity of 1.00 Watt per meter per degrees Kelvin (W/m/K). The soil-heat-flux plates have an error of about \xc2\xb15 percent. The near-surface soil moisture is measured using a CS615 water content reflectometer designed to measure volumetric water content derived from the probe sensitivity to the unique dielectric content of the soil which changes with changing moisture conditions. The soil-moisture probe has an accuracy of \xc2\xb12 percent when calibrated for a specific soil. The soil moisture values have been calibrated to the specific soil at the site by periodic field sampling of soil between the 8-cm flux-plate depth and the soil surface. Samples were analyzed to determine gravimetric water, bulk density, and volumetric water content.\n\nAdditional steps used to ensure quality / accuracy in the data included annual calibrations of the relative humidity/temperature sensor and pyranometer sensor by Campbell Scientific and the wind speed and direction sensor by MetOne instruments.

(CSI), 23X datalogger using a 10-second interval. The logger was programmed to output data in three formats: daily mean values (except for precipitation where only daily totals are output), hourly mean values (except for precipitation where only hourly totals are output), and 5-minute totals for precipitation (to determine storm event timing not included in this data release). The data logger reference is Pacific Standard Time (PST) throughout the entire period. \n\nThe air-temperature relative-humidity sensor, pyranometer, and anemometer with wind vane are mounted on a CM10 tripod at heights of 1.5 m, 3 m, and 3 m above the ground surface, respectively. The barometric-pressure sensor is mounted 1 m above the ground and housed with the data logger in a shed approximately 30 m north of the tripod. The net radiometer is mounted 1.5 m above the ground and approximately 10 m from the tripod. The net radiometer monitors principally bare soil radiation within the undisturbed vegetated area. The precipitation tipping-bucket precipitation gage was installed on its own mount approximately 5 m from the tripod at a height of 1 m. Two soil-heat-flux plates are buried in the near-surface soil at a depth of about 0.08 m approximately 2 m from the weather-station tripod. Between the flux plates and the soil surface, the averaging soil-temperature probes are buried at depths of 0.02 and 0.06 m. The soil-moisture probe is buried to measure average soil moisture in the depth interval between the flux plate depth of 0.08 m and the soil surface. The probe has two 0.3 m rods spaced about 0.03 m apart. The rods are inserted into the ground at a slight angle to integrate the water content of soil over the depth interval.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Micrometeorological_2012-2016.xlsx</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Micrometeorlogical data, Amargosa Desert Research Site, Nye County, Nevada, 2012-2016</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Ronald K.

Two common methods for collecting vegetation data were used: line-point intercept and 1m2 ocular quadrats (visual cover estimates). At each site and transect, both methods were used to collect cover and composition data by four different observers. The same transects and quadrats were utilized for both methods and all observers. Field data collected included percent cover for total living foliar cover, each plant species encountered, litter, dead plant material that is still standing, and ground cover features (biological soil crust, rock, sand, and fine soil particles).

At each site and transect, both methods were used to collect cover and composition data by four different observers. The same transects and quadrats were utilized for both methods and all observers. Field data collected included percent cover for total living foliar cover, each plant species encountered, litter, dead plant material that is still standing, and ground cover features (biological soil crust, rock, sand, and fine soil particles). Line-point intercept data were collected at 25 cm intervals along each transect and at four points along the edge of each 1m2 quadrat. Since transects varied in length, the number of data points collected along each transect also varied. A pin flag was dropped vertically to the ground at 25 cm intervals and every plant species and ground cover element that touched the pin flag was recorded in the order it touched the pin flag from top to bottom, including any species that would touch the pin flag if it continued upward indefinitely. Each species was only recorded once at each point. Ocular quadrat data were collected at each of the 1 m2 quadrats. Cover estimates were recorded to the nearest 5% other than those estimates under 5% which were recorded as either 1% or “trace”. Observers calibrated their ocular estimates at the beginning of sampling and when a new observer started sampling. Observers were given reference cards illustrating multiple levels of percent cover (1 – 95%), which were used during calibration and throughout data collection. Five observers with three levels of experience participated in this study. Two observers had extensive experience with identification of plant species in the study area, as well as with the methods used. One observer was familiar with the methods as well as riparian plant identification, but had not previously worked in this study area. Two observers had not worked in this system or with these methods before, but had experience conducting vegetation surveys. All observers received on-site training. At each site, four observers sampled the entire site using both field methods. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Emily C Palmquist](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59188) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Originator : [Emily C Palmquist](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59188) Metadata Contact : [Emily C Palmquist](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59188) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Southwest Biological Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17423) USGS Mission Area : [Ecosystems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Ecosystems) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5beef04ae4b08f163c2dcb8e?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5beef04ae4b08f163c2dcb8e?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5beef04ae4b08f163c2dcb8e?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Riparian\_Vegetation\_Metadata.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 32.45 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Data\_Metadata.zip | | 84.16 KB | application/zip | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | A comparison of riparian vegetation sampling methods along a large, regulated river | [https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3440](https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3440 "https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3440") | ## Purpose The purpose of this data was to compare vegetation sampling methods in a dense, species rich riparian context to 1) assess if ocular or LPI sampling methods result in significant differences in cover among observers, 2) identify if the ocular or LPI sampling method has lower variability among observers, 3) assess which method best records the high diversity of riparian areas, and 4) examine how the cover estimates generated from these methods differ. ## Rights The author(s) of these data request that data users contact them regarding intended use and to assist with understanding limitations and interpretation.

Since transects varied in length, the number of data points collected along each transect also varied. A pin flag was dropped vertically to the ground at 25-cm intervals and every plant species and ground cover element that touched the pin flag was recorded in the order it touched the pin flag from top to bottom, including any species that would touch the pin flag if it continued upward indefinitely (Herrick et al., 2005; Merritt et al., 2017). Each species was only recorded once at each point. The cover of each variable was calculated by dividing the number of points at which the variable was recorded by the total number of points.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2016</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Data Quality Assessment and Control: All people collecting data received on-site training and were given written protocols for reference.

Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). Yields (represents the mass of constituent transported from a unit area of a given watershed) are used to compare the export loads from one basin to another. Yield results are obtained by dividing the annual load (pounds) of a given constituent by the respective watershed area (acres) from which the constituent was transported. Yield results presented represent the average annual per-acre loads of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment exported from each of the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring stations for two possible time periods: 2009-2018 (10 year average yield) and 2014-2018 (5 year average yield).</abstract>\n <purpose>The purpose of this data set is to communicate the average annual loads of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment being generated across the nontidal portion of the major rivers in the bay watershed for tow possible periods 2009-2018 and 2014-2018.

Samplers were equipped with a dedicated vapor point (AMS, Inc. part #21010) and 4.8 mm interior diameter fluoropolymer tubing, and driven to depth (between 0.61 to 1.83 m from sediment surface to middle of screen) into wetland sediments with the AMS installation kit and slide hammer. After installation, a two-way luer-lock valve was attached to the tubing and a short length of 3.8 cm diameter PVC was placed over the tubing and driven a few centimeters into the soils to protect the apparatus. Samplers at multiple depths of the same location were within 10 cm of each other. We also installed one stainless steel suction lysimeter at site G by excavating a hole with a bucket augur and repacking the hole with the material we removed. \n\nPorewater was collected from vapor points after purging the previous day and allowing to recover overnight. For vapor points that produced water relatively easily, porewater was collected using plastic 60 ml syringes with luer-lock tip. Syringes were loaded into custom-made vacuum chambers so that the syringe pistons were under negative pressure and water samples could be collected with no headspace to prevent degassing of supersaturated CO2. A valve system allowed individual syringes to be opened or closed as each syringe filled. The water collected in the first syringe was considered an additional purge and the sample was collected in two additional syringes. The flow from some samplers was so low that this method did not work. For these samplers, the tubing was connected to a glass vacuum filter flask and the flask was evacuated with a handpump. The suction lysimeter was sampled by evacuating it with a handpump, allowing water to collect for a few hours, and pushing the sample out under positive pressure. \n\nAny use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government</procdesc>\n <procdate>201308</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>SURFACE WATER AND GROUNDWATER SAMPLING \nPond water samples from P1 were collected by dipping and filling a 1 L HDPE bottle. Screen length for each well was 0.6 m. Groundwater samples were collected by first purging water from existing wells with a peristaltic pump and letting them recover overnight. Water was then pumped until temperature and pH remained constant and then collected.</procdesc>\n <procdate>201308</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>CHEMICAL ANALYSES \nThe pH of samples collected by syringe from the vapor points was determined in a manner that prevented sample degassing. The pH of samples collected in vacuum flasks or the suction cup lysimeter were not determined as initial trials showed that degassing during collection significantly raised the pH. The pH of well waters was recorded when the pH of continuously pumped water remained stable. The pH of pond water was measured in-situ. All water samples were filtered through 0.45 \xce\xbcm syringe filter within 12 hours of collection. Aliquots for cation analysis were preserved with trace metal grade concentrated nitric acid. Samples for anion analysis were kept at &lt;4 \xc2\xb0C until analysis. Some samples were not analyzed for HCO3- or by OES due to sample amount limitations. Cation samples were analyzed for Ca, Mg, Na, and K by both ICP-MS (Wolf and Adams, 2015) and ICP-OES (Todorov et al., 2014). Anions (SO42- and Cl-) were determined using ion chromatography (Taggert, 2002). Concentrations of HCO3- were estimated from total inorganic carbon concentrations determined on an OI700 (OI Analytical) wet oxidation DOC analyzer.

TEM data were collected using an ABEM WalkTEM unit (acquisition software V 1.1.0 and newer) using two transmitter loop (Tx) sizes, 100 by 100 meters square and 40 by 40 meters square, a center-loop receiver (Rx) that is 0.5 by 0.5 square meters in size (with an effective area of 35 m^2), and dual currents of about 2 and 11 amperes (A). In addition, a second center-loop receiver, 10 by 10 meters square in size (with an effective area of 1400 m^2) was used. Both receivers were centered and concentrically nested inside the Tx loop. The Tx measurement cycles were stacked 10 times, and 1-5 measurements were taken at each site. Multiple surveys collected at the same location were stacked, filtered, and averaged for each Tx current and set of Rx measurements.

When the current is abruptly terminated, an instantaneous current is induced in the earth, and it moves downward and outward as the induced current decays with time. The decay is controlled by the resistivity of the earth. A receiver (Rx) at the center of the Tx loop measures the time rate of change in the induced secondry magnetic field (dB/dt). Decaying voltage measurements at the receiver are converted to apparent resistivity, which can be inverted to recover the depth-dependent resistivity structure of the earth.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Collection:\n\nDuring the data collection process, care was taken to maximize distance to electrical power lines and metal objects (such as pipes, farm equipment, debris, etc.) within or near the array.\n\nMetal objects within and near the array can adversely affect the survey by causing induction effects that limit the penetration of electrical current into the subsurface. Electrical power lines can induce noise in the survey data rendering it unusable.\n\nTEM data were collected using four WalkTEM units. Duplicate measurements were collected to insure the results were similar between individual units. \n\nAll data filenames are referenced by identification numbers comprised of Site name, data type, and a sequential number (e.g. LVTDEM4 LV for Livingston county; TDEM indicates time-domain electromagnetic sounding; and 4 is the sequential number). \n\nA complete listing of the soundings, date of collection, square loop size (40 or 100 m on a side), location of the survey, elevation, Project and station numbers is provided in a table in Excel (.xlsx) and comma-separated values (.csv) formats (See TDEM-sounding-locations-Livingston-County-NY.xlsx).\n\nThe raw ASCII data files are provided in space-delimited (*_dat.xyz) ASCII and comma-separated (*.csv) files organized in folders for each sounding. Multiple soundings (multiple folders) along a transect are combined in compressed (zip) files, and are named for each transect line (T1 through T13).\n\nThe *_dat.xyz files provide header information at the top of the file on a comment line that is prefaced with "/". The "cleaned" and averaged TEM decay data are shown with early time, data spikes, and late time noise trimmed from the data set. Raw data provided in ASCII file format (*_dat.xyz) with averaged decay magnetic field in volts per meter squared m per Ampere (v/m^2*A) with time gates arranged in column format. Multiple surveys (stations) collected at the same site were stacked and averaged for each current and receiver shown in separate rows of data. \n\nA data dictionary for the TDEM data is provided in two formats including: comma-separated values (*.csv) and Excel spreadsheet that is Extensible Markup Language (.XML) enabled (*.xlsx).\n\nIn addition, the raw data are also provided in binary file format (.gdb) and can be read using Aarhus Geosoftware\'s SPIA TEM program (https://www.aarhusgeosoftware.dk/aarhus-spia-tem)</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Processing:\n\nThe TDEM sounding data were processed with the SPIA inversion program V3.2.1.0 to generate a 1D resistivity models of the earth that fit to the measured TEM data. The output from the inversion program produces a smooth 20-layer resistivity model shown in ohm-meters. \n\nThe output is formatted in space-delimited (*_inv.xyz) ASCII data files with header information on the top of the file and in comma-separated (*_inv.csv) files without any header information. \n\nOutput results are provided in folders for each sounding, and soundings are grouped in transects. \n\nAarhus Geosoftware\'s SPIA TEM program (https://www.aarhusgeosoftware.dk/aarhus-spia-tem)</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <indspref>GNIS: Livingston County.

These data contribute to natural hazard monitoring and lava flow control efforts and are intended to assist emergency managers during an eruption, to plan emergency response activities, and to identify infrastructure at risk.</purpose>\n <supplinf>1. The steepest-descent lines are based on a DEM; therefore, the best application of this approach requires the use of an accurate and reliable DEM. The DEM used was derived from gridded contour lines digitized from 7.5\' topographic maps contoured at 20-foot intervals for all of Kilauea and much of the coastal areas of the Island of Hawai`i and 40-foot intervals for quadrangles covering interior areas of the island (See USGS 3D Elevation Program website for more information on USGS DEMs). The specifications for the topographic map, and therefore for the DEM, are that the height errors don\'t exceed half the contour interval used for the map. Therefore, the uncertainty in the DEM elevations should be less than 3 m for Kilauea and the coastal areas of the island and 6 m for the interior of the island. Steepest descent lines analysis is based on the assumption that the DEM perfectly represents the earth\'s surface. DEMs, however, are simplified representations of the earth\'s surface, so the lines on this map can be used to infer only approximate flow paths. These data only show the likely paths of initial lava flows; if multiple lava flows are emplaced the initial lava flow can alter the path of successive flows. The DEM grid approximates all terrain within each 10 m by 10 m square or cell as a single elevation value. Narrower features will likely not be represented but features with broader wavelength will be retained. Previous examples of steepest-descent calculations used to forecast lava flow paths have been fairly successful (Kauahikaua, 2007; Poland and others, 2016) encouraging our continued use of this DEM. \n\n2.

The catchments, or lavasheds, used in Kauahikaua and others (2003) were calculated using the IDRISI GIS program while those used in Kauahikaua (2007) and Poland and others (2016) were calculated using the Hydrology Tools in ArcGIS (Esri). The set of steepest-descent lines published with this report were calculated using the Global Mapper (Blue Marble Geographics) Watershed calculator with default settings. No significant differences were found in comparisons between the results of each software package used over the same DEM. The resulting steepest-descent lines describe the drainage properties of the DEM on which they were calculated. Each algorithm operates in the same general way: pits or sinks in the DEM (cells whose elevation is lower than the elevations of all surrounding cells) are first filled numerically to assure that all steepest-descent calculations extend to the coastline. Next, a steepest downhill direction is calculated for each cell and the cell directions are connected to form drainage, or steepest-descent, lines. Each cell along the drainage line can be identified with how many other higher-elevation cells drain into it. The major steepest-descent lines can be emphasized by selecting only those that drain more than a minimum number of cells. Two sets of these lines are included in this publication for minimum drainage areas of 7,500 10mX10m cells or an area of 0.75 sq. km. (Steepest-Descent_lines_750K_m2,) and 30,000 10mX10m cells or an area of 3 sq.km. (Steepest-Descent_lines_3M_m2). These values were chosen to provide a useful, but not overwhelming, amount of detail.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20160816</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Vector</direct>\n <ptvctinf>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>Complete chain</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>1738</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n </ptvctinf>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <mapproj>\n <mapprojn>Transverse Mercator</mapprojn>\n <transmer>\n <sfctrmer>0.9996</sfctrmer>\n <longcm>-153.0</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>1.0E-4</absres>\n <ordres>1.0E-4</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 containing attribute information associated with the data set.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Notes</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Free text field</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Field values are the data source source file name to assist in identifying the source of the data if it becomes separated from the metadata.</udom>\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.

Complete metadata for the collection of species datasets is in the metadata document "Dataset_for_Alaska_Marine_Fish_Ecology_Catalog.xml" at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7M61HD7. Source(s) for this digitized data layer are listed in the metadata Process Steps section. Note that the original source may show an extended area; some datasets were limited to the published map boundary. Distributions of marine fishes are shown in adjacent Arctic seas where reliable data are available. The data were clipped to show only the marine distribution areas although some species also may have an inland presence.</abstract>\n <purpose>See report: https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165038</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>2017</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>publication date</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>Not planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-180.0</westbc>\n <eastbc>180.0</eastbc>\n <northbc>90.0</northbc>\n <southbc>35.598478339</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>See range references listed in Sources</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>See Taxonomic Identification.</themekt>\n <themekey>Arctic Cod</themekey>\n <themekey>Boreogadus saida</themekey>\n <themekey>(Lepechin, 1774)</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>fish</themekey>\n <themekey>biogeography</themekey>\n <themekey>marine fishery resources</themekey>\n <themekey>ecology</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>Data categories for marine planning</themekt>\n <themekey>Distributions</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>marine</themekey>\n <themekey>Arctic</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:58812bc0e4b00a062356fee2</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>Arctic</placekey>\n <placekey>Chukchi Sea</placekey>\n <placekey>Bering Strait</placekey>\n <placekey>Bering Sea</placekey>\n <placekey>Alaska</placekey>\n <placekey>Yukon</placekey>\n <placekey>Northwest Territories</placekey>\n <placekey>Nunavut</placekey>\n </place>\n <place>\n <placekt>None</placekt>\n <placekey>Beaufort Sea</placekey>\n <placekey>northwest Canada</placekey>\n <placekey>northeast Russia</placekey>\n <placekey>Chukchi-Beaufort Lease Area</placekey>\n <placekey>U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>none</accconst>\n <useconst>none</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Durelle Smith, Staff Scientist</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>4210 University Drive</address>\n <city>Anchorage</city>\n <state>AK</state>\n <postal>99508</postal>\n <country>United States</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>907-786-7104</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\n <datacred>From the report (SIR-20165038): This study was supported by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Environmental Studies Program, Alaska OCS Region, through Interagency Agreement Number M09PG00005 with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

The American Fisheries Society and Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists recommend using "Polar Cod" for Boreogadus saida to bring consistency with European conventions and this recommendation is gaining in acceptance in contemporary reporting and publications. We chose to use "Arctic Cod" for Boreogadus saida in this report to ensure consistency with the vast majority of Alaskan literature and to avoid confusion with Ice Cod, which has been referred to as Polar Cod by North American researchers. Anyone using literature that does not specify the scientific name must read carefully to decide which species is meant. However, A. glacialis is rare in Arctic Alaska waters, and most references to Polar Cod from that region that do not provide the scientific name will refer to B. saida.</taxonpro>\n <taxoncom>See Methods.</taxoncom>\n </taxonsys>\n <taxongen>Arctic Cod (Boreogadus saida) (Lepechin, 1774)</taxongen>\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>Deuterostomia</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Phylum</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Chordata</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subphylum</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Vertebrata</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Infraphylum</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Gnathostomata</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Superclass</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Osteichthyes</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Class</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Actinopterygii</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subclass</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Neopterygii</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Infraclass</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Teleostei</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Superorder</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Paracanthopterygii</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Order</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Gadiformes</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Family</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Gadidae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Subfamily</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Gadinae</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Genus</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Boreogadus</taxonrv>\n <taxoncl>\n <taxonrn>Species</taxonrn>\n <taxonrv>Boreogadus saida</taxonrv>\n <common>Arctic cod</common>\n <common>sa\xc3\xafda franc</common>\n <common>polar cod</common>\n <common>saida franc</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 </taxonomy>\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 coordinates of AS1 and AS3 are, respectively, 34.236972°, -118.195756° and 34.236053°, -118.194915° (WGS84). The coordinates of DC1 and DC3 are, respectively, 34.265075°, -118.237336° and  34.257528°, -118.241728° (WGS84). Each array (for which the total soil profile is ~50 cm) includes three soil moisture sensors positioned at 10, 25, and 50 cm depths. We report all available soil moisture information in terms of volumetric water content (VWC) for the time period and flag lapses in coverage. The VWC data for AS1 and DC1 overlap with Smith et al. (2019) for January 2016 through November 2017. We provide those data here to maintain consistency with Thomas et al. (2021). Sensor information, including the make/model, measurement units, and measurement frequency are contained in the “README.txt” file.

The Arroyo Seco (0.01 km2) and Dunsmore Canyon (0.5 km2) drainages include two soil pits, one located near the drainage divide and another near the basin outlet. Following the naming convention established by Smith et al. (2019), we refer to the soil pits near the Arroyo Seco drainage divide and basin outlet as \xe2\x80\x9cAS1\xe2\x80\x9d and \xe2\x80\x9cAS3,\xe2\x80\x9d respectively. Similarly, we refer to the soil pits near the Dunsmore Canyon drainage divide and basin outlet as \xe2\x80\x9cDC1\xe2\x80\x9d and \xe2\x80\x9cDC3,\xe2\x80\x9d respectively. The coordinates of AS1 and AS3 are, respectively, 34.236972\xc2\xb0, -118.195756\xc2\xb0 and 34.236053\xc2\xb0, -118.194915\xc2\xb0 (WGS84). The coordinates of DC1 and DC3 are, respectively, 34.265075\xc2\xb0, -118.237336\xc2\xb0 and 34.257528\xc2\xb0, -118.241728\xc2\xb0 (WGS84). Each array (for which the total soil profile is ~50 cm) includes three soil moisture sensors positioned at 10, 25, and 50 cm depths. We report all available soil moisture information in terms of volumetric water content (VWC) for the time period and flag lapses in coverage. The VWC data for AS1 and DC1 overlap with Smith et al. (2019) for January 2016 through November 2017. We provide those data here to maintain consistency with Thomas et al. (2021).

See Supplemental Info for recommended use of the data.</purpose><supplinf>Two comma-separated text files are given here as well as the Census Bureau shapefile used as the basis for calculations. Each table contains 3,535 rows, one for each of the records in the shapefile. Urban areas boundaries are based on the 2015 1:500k Census boundaries.\nThe Urban Areas shapefile obtained from the Census Bureau contained 3,535 unique areas within the conterminous United States. Of these, 481 were classified by Census as "Urban Areas" (UA, UATYP10 = "U") and 3,054 were classified as "Urban Clusters" (UC, UATYP10 = "C"). For the purpose of this dataset these are treated identically, and in this document all referred to as "urban areas". See https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/ua/urban-rural-2010.html for more information on the differences between an Area and a Cluster. In essence, a UA is a densely settled area of at least 50,000 people, and a UC is a densely settled area of at least 2,500 people but less than 50,000. \nThe tables are derived from two different sources and may differ to some degree. Imperviousness from the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) is derived primarily from remote sensing sources (see Xian and others, 2011 and Homer and others, 2015), while imperviousness from the NAWQA Wall-to-wall Anthropogenic Landuse Trends (NWALT, Falcone, 2015) dataset is derived from land use class-based coefficients (Falcone, 2017). The NLCD imperviousness is likely to be more accurate with regard to absolute values, but is limited to the years 2001-2011, while NWALT-derived values span 1974-2012. If the user\'s period of analysis does not extend before 2001 it is recommended to use the NLCD values. The data sources are not directly comparable. That is, users should use either the NLCD values as a time series, or the NWALT-derived values as a time series, but not mix them. \nFor two urban areas, Bar Harbor and Calais, Maine, NWALT-derived imperviousness values were derived from an unpublished update to the data in Falcone, 2017. This was due to a portion of the eastern tip of Maine being masked out in the original NWALT-derived source data.\nAccuracy, particularly for the NWALT values, is likely to vary with the size of the urban area. The urban areas measured here vary by four orders of magnitude in size: from less than 1 square kilometer (Richgrove, California) to nearly 10,000 square kilometers (New York city area). Values are likely to be more accurate for large areas versus small areas. In the creation of the NWALT-based product (Falcone, 2017) the results were compared for the 2002 product to the NLCD 2001 for HUC-12 watersheds nationwide. In that comparison, there was an r2 agreement of 0.93 and 96% of HUC-12s agreed to within 1% of the imperviousness of the NLCD. However the median size of HUC-12s is approximately 88 square kilometers, whereas the median size of the urban areas measured here is approximately 13 square kilometers. Users are advised to be more cautious in interpreting results, particularly for the NWALT data, as the urban area decreases. \nThe data here are intended as a way of comparing relative imperviousness of urban areas and changes over time, but not necessarily as the "definitive measurement" of imperviousness for each city. The measurement for a city depends to a large degree on which boundaries are used. The boundaries used here, U.S. Census 2015 Urban Areas, while an authoritative source, may differ from city incorporated boundaries, and also differ from boundaries for Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) (collections of complete counties around a city). For example, the urban area for Washington DC given here ("Washington, DC-VA-MD") is an area extending to parts of (but not all of) 15 counties around the city. A measurement for the Metropolitan Statistical Area of Washington ("Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV"), would be based on MSA boundaries which include 24 complete counties, and give a different result. (See https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2016/demo/popest/total-metro-and-micro-statistical-areas.html for more information about MSAs). That is, users should consider this as "one way" of measuring the imperviousness of the Washington, DC urban area.\nAll NLCD data are derived from the October 2014 harmonized versions of the NLCD 2001, 2006, 2011 (mrlc.gov).

In total, there were 6160 confirmed grizzly bear detections, leading to the identification of 1115 unique individual genotypes (520 male, 595 female). The data contain the genotypes or partial genotypes of those 1115 individuals, with an individual ID, sex, and up to 24 genotyped, codominant loci. The loci represented are; G10J, G1A, G10B, G1D, G10H, G10M, G10P, G10C, CXX110, CXX20, G10L, MU50, MU59, G10U, MU23, G10X, REN145.P07, MSUT2, CPH9, MU51, REN144.A06, MU26, D123, D1A. Each locus is split into two columns, the first of which contains the first allele and the second of which contains the second allele of each genotyped locus for each individual. Values within the columns of each locus represent the size of the alleles. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Tabitha Graves](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Tabitha+Graves) Originator : [Tabitha Graves](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Tabitha+Graves), [Nathaniel Mikle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Nathaniel+Mikle), [Katherine Kendall](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Katherine+Kendall), [Amy Macleod](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Amy+Macleod) Metadata Contact : [Nathaniel Mikle](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Nathaniel+Mikle) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=U.S.+Geological+Survey) Distributor : [ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=ScienceBase) USGS Mission Area : [Ecosystems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Ecosystems) SDC Data Owner : [Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17303) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5772add3e4b07657d1a88776?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5772add3e4b07657d1a88776?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5772add3e4b07657d1a88776?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) genetic profiles 1998-2012.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 48.41 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) genetic profiles 1998-2012.csv | | 194.65 KB | text/csv | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Demography and Genetic Structure of a Recovering Grizzly Bear Population | [http://dx.doi.org/10.2193/2008-330](http://dx.doi.org/10.2193/2008-330 "http://dx.doi.org/10.2193/2008-330") | Type: Publication that references this resource | | | | --- | --- | | Demographic mechanisms underpinning genetic assimilation of remnant groups of a large carnivore | [http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.1467](http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.1467 "http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.1467") | ## Purpose Data were obtained in order to assess the population status and genetic diversity of grizzly bears in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE). ## Communities - Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [genetic diversity](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dgenetic+diversity "genetic diversity (genetic diversity, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [genotype](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dgenotype "genotype (genotype, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [population dynamics](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dpopulation+dynamics "population dynamics (population dynamics, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Glacier National Park](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGlacier+National+Park "Glacier National Park (Glacier National Park, Place, FGDC)") - [Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DNorthern+Continental+Divide+Ecosystem "Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem, Place, FGDC)") 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, )") 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/F7Q81B63 | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Our primary effort was based on systematically distributed hair traps using a grid of 641 7 \xc3\x97 7-km cells during 15 June\xe2\x80\x9318 August 2004. We placed one trap in a different location in each cell during 4 14-day sampling occasions. Hair traps consisted of one 30-m length of 4-prong barbed wire encircling 3\xe2\x80\x936 trees or steel posts at a height of 50 cm (Woods et al. 1999). We poured 3 L of scent lure, a 2:1 mix of aged cattle blood and liquid from decomposed fish, on forest debris piled in the center of the wire corral. We hung a cloth saturated with lure in a tree 4\xe2\x80\x935 m above the center of the trap. We collected hair from barbs, the ground near the wire, and the lure pile. All hairs from one set of barbs constituted a sample; we used our best judgment to define samples from the ground and lure pile. We placed each hair sample in a paper envelope labeled with a uniquely numbered barcode. \n\nWe selected hair trap locations before the field season using consistent criteria throughout the study area based on Geographic Information System (GIS) layers and expert knowledge. We based selection on evidence of bear activity, presence of natural travel routes, seasonal vegetation characteristics, and indices of recent wildfire severity. Each trap was located \xe2\x89\xa51 km from all other hair traps, \xe2\x89\xa5100 m from maintained trails, and \xe2\x89\xa5500 m from developed areas, including campsites. To help field personnel navigate to hair traps, we loaded all coordinates into Global Positioning System (GPS) units and made custom topographic and orthophoto maps for each site. \n\nWe also collected hair during repeated visits to bear rubs during 15 June\xe2\x80\x9315 September 2004. Bear rubbing was a result of natural behavior; we used no attractant. We surveyed rubs on approximately 80% of the study area; we omitted lands along the eastern edge of study area due to insufficient personnel and a relative scarcity of rubs. We identified 4 primary types of bear rubs for hair collection: trees (85%), power poles (8%), wooden sign and fence posts (5%), and barbed wire fences (2%). We focused on bear rubs located along trails, forest roads, and power and fence lines to facilitate access and ensure that we could reliably find the rubs. Each rub received a uniquely numbered tag and short pieces of barbed wire nailed to the rubbed surface in a zigzag pattern. We used barbless wire mounted vertically on bear rubs that had been bumped by horse packs. We found that the separated ends of double-stranded wire were effective at snaring hair but would not damage passing stock. During each rub visit, we collected all hair from each barb to ensure that we knew the hair deposition interval. We collected hair only from the barbed wire and passed a flame under each barb after collection to prevent contamination between sessions. \n\nWe compiled capture, telemetry, mortality, age, and past DNA detection data for 766 grizzly bears handled for research or management or identified during other hair sampling studies (Kendall et al. 2008) in the NCDE during 1975\xe2\x80\x932007. Of the bears for which tissue samples were available, 426 were successfully genotyped at \xe2\x89\xa57 loci for individual identification. We used these data 1) to identify bears that had been live-captured before 2004 for use as a covariate in mark\xe2\x80\x93recapture modeling, 2) to investigate independence of capture probabilities among females and their dependent offspring, and 3) for our analysis of temporal trend in genetic structure. To determine the proportion of sex\xe2\x80\x93age classes of bears detected with hair trap and bear rub sampling, we assumed that bears that met all of the following criteria were potentially available to be sampled: 1) \xe2\x89\xa51 location on the NCDE study area during 15 June\xe2\x80\x9315 September 1995\xe2\x80\x932006, 2) alive and \xe2\x89\xa420 years old in 2004 (we included older bears if documented on the study area post-2003), and 3) not known to have died before 2004. We only included bears with reliable genotypes that were known to be present on our study area during our sampling period in our mark\xe2\x80\x93recapture analysis. \n\nGenetic Methods \nWe stored hair samples on silica desiccant at room temperature and blood and muscle samples either frozen or in lysis buffer. Samples were analyzed at a laboratory that specialized in low DNA quantity and quality samples, following standard protocols (Woods et al. 1999, Paetkau 2003, Roon et al. 2005). We analyzed all samples with \xe2\x89\xa51 guard hair follicle or 5 underfur hairs, and we used up to 10 guard hairs plus underfur when available. \n\nThe number and variability of the markers used to identify individuals determine the power of the multilocus genotypes to differentiate individuals. We used 7 nuclear microsatellite loci to define individuals: G10J, G1A, G10B, G1D, G10H, G10M, and G10P (Paetkau et al. 1995). Preliminary data from this population suggested that randomly drawn, unrelated individuals would have identical genotypes (PID) with probability 1 \xc3\x97 10\xe2\x88\x927, and full siblings would share identical genotypes with probability (PSIB) 0.0018 for this marker set. These match probabilities assume a specified level of relationship, making it difficult to interpret them in the context of a study population in which the distribution of consanguinity is unknown. We obtained a more direct empirical estimate of match probability by extrapolating from observed mismatch distributions (Paetkau 2003). For each individual identified, we attempted to extend genotypes to 17 loci using the following markers: G10C, G10L, CXX110, CXX20, Mu50, Mu59, G10U, Mu23, G10X, and amelogenin (for gender; Ennis and Gallagher 1994). \n\nFor the first phase of the analysis, we used one microsatellite marker (G10J), which has a high success rate and at which alleles with an odd number of base pairs are diagnostic of black bears. The only exception to this rule is a 94\xe2\x80\x93base pair allele that exists in both species in our ecosystem. When this allele is present, species must be confirmed through additional analyses. We set aside samples that failed at this marker twice, as well as samples with 2 odd-numbered alleles. We analyzed all individuals with \xe2\x89\xa51 94\xe2\x80\x93base pair allele at G10J at all 7 markers that we used for individual identification, whether or not the second allele was even-numbered (presumed grizzly bears) or odd-numbered (presumed black bears). \n\nDuring the next phase of lab analysis, we finished individual identifications by analyzing 6 additional markers on samples that passed through the G10J prescreen. We did not attempt to assign individual identity to any sample that failed to produce strong, typical, diploid (i.e., not mixed) genotype profiles for all 7 markers. We believe that this strict rejection of all samples whose genotypes contained weak, missing, or suspect data (e.g., unbalanced peak heights) dramatically reduced genotyping error by eliminating the most error-prone samples. \n\nGenotyping errors that result in the creation of false individuals, such as allelic dropout and amplification error, can bias mark\xe2\x80\x93recapture population estimates (Mills et al. 2000, Roon et al. 2005). We used selective reanalysis of similar genotypes to detect and eliminate errors. We replicated genotypes for all 1) individuals identified in a single sample, 2) pairs of individuals that differed at only 1 or 2 loci (1- and 2-mismatch pairs), 3) pairs of individuals that differed at 3 loci when those differences were consistent with allelic dropout (i.e., homozygous), and 4) individuals with samples geographically separated by large distances (Paetkau 2003, Roon et al. 2005, Kendall et al. 2008). We further minimized the risk of undetected genotyping error by replicating genetic data for all 17 markers (including gender) in \xe2\x89\xa52 samples per individual or by repeating the analysis of all 17 markers in cases where just one sample was assigned to an individual. Whenever possible, we drew samples selected for reanalysis from a bear\'s 2 most distant capture points to potentially detect errors or true 0-mismatch pairs. We also made a photographic record of DNA liquid transfer steps to help determine the cause of handling errors when they occurred and to resolve them. \n\nAs part of our error-checking efforts, we submitted 748 blind control samples from 32 unique grizzly bears from throughout the NCDE to the laboratory. We constructed these samples to mimic the range of DNA quantity in hair samples collected in the field by varying the number of hairs with follicles per sample. Although lab personnel were aware that control samples would be randomly scattered among field samples, they were not aware of the number or identity of control samples. Genotyped bears for which sex was known from field data provided a similar opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of gender determinations. We also submitted 115 blind test samples that we created by mixing, in various proportions, hair from 2 individuals, mostly parent\xe2\x80\x93offspring or full sibling pairs. As a final overall assessment of the reliability of our data, we contracted with Dr. Pierre Taberlet (Director of Research, National Centre for Scientific Research, Grenoble, France), an expert in issues of genotyping error in noninvasive samples (Taberlet et al. 1996, Abbott 2008), to conduct an independent assessment of our field, data entry, lab, and data exchange protocols. Among other tests, P. Taberlet examined the results of 100 randomly drawn and 406 blind samples for errors and then checked whether the data from the genetic analysis matched the database used for abundance estimates. \n\nWe replicated almost every genotype in the 17-locus data set, either between samples, by repeated analysis as positive controls, or during error-checking, which provided an outstanding opportunity to detect genotyping errors. We recorded an error each time a genotype was changed after being entered into the database as a high-confidence score (i.e., not flagged as requiring reanalysis to confirm a weak initial result). The extra measures we used to avoid the creation of spurious individuals, along with our large sample size, permitted us to evaluate the standard methods that formed the foundation of our genotyping protocol (Paetkau 2003). Before starting the analysis of supplemental markers (in duplicate, with emphasis on geographically distant samples), we generated a preliminary 7-locus results file using only the standard protocol of selective reanalysis of similar genotypes.</methdesc>\n </method>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Genetic_profiles</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Table containing 1115 grizzly bear genotypes of up to 24 loci</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Wildlife Genetics International</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>IndividualID</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>A unique individual ID</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>1</rdommin>\n <rdommax>1115</rdommax>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Sex</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>The identified sex of each individual</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>M</edomv>\n <edomvd>Male</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer-defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>F</edomv>\n <edomvd>Female</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer-defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>G10J.1</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>The first characters represent the locus ID, followed by a period and the final character represents the number of allele (e.g. 1 or 2).

The method, commonly called the “Frimpter Method,” uses a groundwater measurement from a test site, groundwater measurements from an index well, and a distribution of high groundwater levels from wells in similar geologic and topographic settings. Historic groundwater-level statistics (maximum and 90th percentile groundwater level and annual groundwater-level range) were calculated for 153 wells in Massachusetts and nearby States to update the method inputs.

This data release includes the calculated groundwater level statistics, the ancillary data used in the regression model, comparison of the data among well pairs, and predictions of the correlations among all well pairs. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Janet R Barclay](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=75546) Process Contact : [Janet R Barclay](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=75546) Originator : [Janet R Barclay](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=75546), [John R Mullaney](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=7273) Metadata Contact : [Janet R Barclay](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=75546) 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/5d42fe96e4b01d82ce8daf72?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5d42fe96e4b01d82ce8daf72?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5d42fe96e4b01d82ce8daf72?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | MetaData.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 47.55 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | MA\_network\_well\_pair\_data.csv | | 990.58 KB | text/csv | | Prediction\_Model\_output.csv | | 1.28 MB | text/csv | | MA\_network\_well\_data.csv | | 24.42 KB | text/csv | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Barclay, J.R., and Mullaney, J.R., 2020, Updating data inputs, assessing trends, and evaluating a method to estimate probable high groundwater levels in selected areas of Massachusetts: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2020–5036, 45 p. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205036](https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205036 "https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205036") | ## Purpose Data were assembled and analyzed as part of a review of the Frimpter method, which is a common method to estimate high groundwater levels for sites in Massachusetts, for the purpose of land development, or in the siting of onsite wastewater systems.

Aspect was calculated using the geodesic method. Slope was calculated in degrees using the planar method. \n\nThe raster for TI_30m was calculated as the topographic wetness index according to the following equation (Beven and Kirby, 1979):\nTI=ln(a/(tan(b)))\nwhere\na = upslope contributing area per unit contour\nb = slope (radians)\n\nThe upslope contributing area per unit contour was calculated with 1) the Flow Direction tool, then 2) the Flow Accumulation tool from the Spatial Analyst toolbox in ArcMap 10.5, and finally 3) multiplied by the raster cell size. The slope, as calculated above, was converted from degrees to radians prior to calculation of TI_30m.\n\nRasters for TPI_500 and TPI_2000 were generated using the Topographic Position Index tool from the Topography Tools 9.3 toolbox for ArcMap (Jenness, 2006) using circular neighborhoods of 500 m and 2000 m respectively.\n\nDistance to the nearest stream (StrmDist) was calculated by joining the shapefile of wells to the nearest stream in the NHDPlus flowline shapefile (US EPA and USGS, 2012) using the spatial join tool in the Analysis toolbox in ArcMap 10.6.\n\nBeven, K.J., and Kirby, M.J., 1979, A physically based, variable contributing area model of basin hydrology / Un mod\xc3\xa8le \xc3\xa0 base physique de zone d\xe2\x80\x99appel variable de l\xe2\x80\x99hydrologie du bassin versant: Hydrological Sciences Bulletin, v. 24, no. 1, p. 43\xe2\x80\x9369.\n\nJenness, J., 2006, Topographic Position Index (tpi_jen.avx) extension for ArcView 3.x, version 1.2, www.jennessent.com/arcview/tpi.htm.</procdesc>\n <srcused>RCH</srcused>\n <srcused>NED24</srcused>\n <srcused>NWIS</srcused>\n <srcused>PRISM</srcused>\n <srcused>NHD</srcused>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n <srcprod>WellData</srcprod>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Janet R Barclay</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, New England Water Science Center</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Hydrologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>101 Pitkin Street</address>\n <city>East Hartford</city>\n <state>CT</state>\n <postal>06108</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>860-291-6763</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>860-291-6799</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Correlations between each pair of wells were calculated using Spearman\xe2\x80\x99s Rho (Helsel and Hirsch, 2002) with a pairwise comparison (U.S. Geological Survey, 2015). Higher correlations between two wells indicate that water levels in the wells change at the same times and in the same directions (deeper or shallower), though the actual magnitude of water level change may differ between the wells. \nIf both wells in the pair were in the same surficial deposit, Same Surficial Deposit (SameSurf) was set to 1, otherwise it was set to 0. Similarly, if both wells in the pair were located in the same topographic setting, Same Topographic Setting (SameTopoGroup) was set to 1, otherwise it was set to 0.\nProximity between two wells (Near) was calculated as the Euclidean distance between the wells using the \xe2\x80\x9cNAD 1983 StatePlane Massachusetts Mainland FIPS 2001 Feet\xe2\x80\x9d projection. The distances were standardized by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation. The standardized distances were converted to proximity by multiplying by -1 so that larger values indicated smaller distances between the wells and smaller values indicated greater distances.\nSimilarity of the remaining variables [altitude (altSim), aspect (aspSim), slope (slpSim), topographic index (ti30Sim), recharge (rchSim), precipitation (prpSim), topographic position index at 500 m (tpi500Sim), topographic position index at 2000 m (tpi2000Sim), elevation above the nearest stream (depToStrSim), and horizontal distance to the nearest stream (strmDistSim)] were calculated according to the following process. First, the absolute value of the difference in the given variable was calculated for each well pair. Then, the absolute differences were standardized by subtracting the mean difference across all well pairs and then dividing by the standard deviation across all well pairs. Finally, the standardized differences were converted to similarity measures by multiplying by -1 so that larger values indicated greater similarity and smaller values indicated less similarity. For example, if the altitude of well A is 300 feet and the altitude of well B is 400 feet, the absolute value of the difference is 100 feet. If the mean absolute difference between all pairs of wells is 500 feet and the standard deviation of the absolute differences between all well pairs is 1000 feet, then the standardized difference between the altitude of well A and well B is -0.4. ([100 feet \xe2\x80\x93 500 feet] / 1000 ft) Converted to a similarity measure, the standardized similarity in altitude is 0.4. \n\nHelsel, D.R., and Hirsch, R.M., 2002, Statistical Methods in Water Resources: Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 04-A3, accessed at http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/twri04A3.\n\nU.S. Geological Survey, 2015, USGS water science R functions statistics\xe2\x80\x94R-statistical package: U.S. Geological Survey software, accessed November 28, 2018, at https://github.com/USGS-R/smwrStats.</procdesc>\n <srcused>WellData</srcused>\n <procdate>20190805</procdate>\n <srcprod>ModelInputs</srcprod>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Janet R Barclay</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, New England Water Science Center</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Hydrologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>101 Pitkin Street</address>\n <city>East Hartford</city>\n <state>CT</state>\n <postal>06108</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>860-291-6763</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>860-291-6799</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The regression equation was used to estimate the correlation (Spearman\xe2\x80\x99s Rho) between pairs of wells as the first step in predicting the most highly correlated index well. Each well, in turn, served as the base well (representing a potential test site) and the correlation with each other well was estimated using the prediction model coefficients (table 8 in Barclay and Mullaney (in review) *** update when approved) for the surficial deposits of the base well. This means that the correlations between each pair of wells was predicted twice (with each well serving as the base well once and as the potential index well once). If the two wells were located in the same surficial deposit, the predicted correlation should be the same, regardless of which well is the base well. If the two wells were located in different surficial deposits, however, the predicted correlation might differ due to differing model coefficients based on the surficial deposit location of the base well.</procdesc>\n <srcused>ModelInputs</srcused>\n <procdate>20190805</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Janet R Barclay</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, New England

Uncalibrated models used default configurations (PB0; see Winslow et al. 2016 for details) and no parameters were adjusted according to model fit with observations. Deep Learning (DL) models were Long Short-Term Memory artificial recurrent neural network models which used training data to adjust model structure and weights for temperature predictions (Jia et al. 2019). Process-Guided Deep Learning (PGDL) models were DL models with an added physical constraint for energy conservation as a loss term. These models were pre-trained with uncalibrated Process-Based model outputs (PB0) before training on actual temperature observations. Performance was measured as root-mean squared errors relative to temperature observations during the test period. Test data include compiled water temperature data from a variety of sources, including the Water Quality Portal (Read et al. 2017), the North Temperate Lakes Long-TERM Ecological Research Program (https://lter.limnology.wisc.edu/), the Minnesota department of Natural Resources, and the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (gleon.org). This dataset is part of a larger data release of lake temperature model inputs and outputs for 68 lakes in the U.S. states of Minnesota and Wisconsin (http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/P9AQPIVD). ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Jordan S.

Deep Learning (DL) models were Long Short-Term Memory artificial recurrent neural network models which used training data to adjust model structure and weights for temperature predictions (Jia et al. 2019). Process-Guided Deep Learning (PGDL) models were DL models with an added physical constraint for energy conservation as a loss term. These models were pre-trained with uncalibrated Process-Based model outputs (PB0) before training on actual temperature observations. Performance was measured as root-mean squared errors relative to temperature observations during the test period. Test data include compiled water temperature data from a variety of sources, including the Water Quality Portal (Read et al. 2017), the North Temperate Lakes Long-TERM Ecological Research Program (https://lter.limnology.wisc.edu/), the Minnesota department of Natural Resources, and the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (gleon.org). This dataset is part of a larger data release of lake temperature model inputs and outputs for 68 lakes in the U.S. states of Minnesota and Wisconsin (http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/P9AQPIVD).</abstract>\n <purpose>Fisheries biology, limnological research, and climate science.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>19800401</begdate>\n <enddate>20181231</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>See publication date</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>Complete</progress>\n <update>none planned</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-94.2609062307949</westbc>\n <eastbc>-87.9475441739278</eastbc>\n <northbc>48.6427837911633</northbc>\n <southbc>42.5692312672573</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 <themekey>biota</themekey>\n <themekey>biota</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>none</themekt>\n <themekey>machine learning</themekey>\n <themekey>deep learning</themekey>\n <themekey>hybrid modeling</themekey>\n <themekey>water</themekey>\n <themekey>temperature</themekey>\n <themekey>temperate lakes</themekey>\n <themekey>reservoirs</themekey>\n <themekey>modeling</themekey>\n <themekey>climate change</themekey>\n <themekey>thermal profiles</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5d925048e4b0c4f70d0d0596</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.

Our chosen model is the open source, General Lake Model (GLM) version 2. GLM is a one-dimensional dynamical model which simplifies lakes using a vertical approximation, where horizontal variability is ignored. GLM uses a Lagrangian approach to layer structure where layers can split and combine based on changing vertical gradients. GLM is a modern, implementation of other one-dimensional models. We used GLM to run individual lake simulations according to the processes described in Winslow et al. 2017. Outputs for water temperature were extracted at various depths and written or summarized to the files included in this set of data. The glmtools R package was used for this processing.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20191004</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <indspref>U.S.A.</indspref>\n <direct>Raster</direct>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <geograph>\n <latres>0.1</latres>\n <longres>0.1</longres>\n <geogunit>Decimal degrees</geogunit>\n </geograph>\n <geodetic>\n <horizdn>WGS84</horizdn>\n <ellips>WGS_1984</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>all_RMSE.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Multi-lake model evaluation results</enttypd>\n <enttypds>U.S. Geological Survey</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>exper_n</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>experiment or trial number</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>This data release</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>1</rdommin>\n <rdommax>5</rdommax>\n <attrunit>NA</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>exper_id</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Type of experiment run and number of training profiles used: "experiment_profiles"</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>This data release</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <rdom>\n <rdommin>NA</rdommin>\n <rdommax>NA</rdommax>\n <attrunit>NA</attrunit>\n </rdom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>site_id</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Lake identification number for this dataset.

Invasive rat control is an efficient, yet insufficient, method for recovery of the critically endangered Hawaiian plant hau kuahiwi (Hibiscadelphus giffardianus). PLoS ONE 13:e0208106. | [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0208106](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0208106 "https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0208106") | ## Purpose These data can be used to describe the locations used for rat abundance estimates and native plant monitoring at each of the two study sites. These are the only two known wild populations of the endangered plant species Hibiscidelphus giffardianus, thus we were interested in how rat removal would affect plant reproduction. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5bf85cd5e4b045bfcae2ec68) [](/catalog/item/imap/5bf85cd5e4b045bfcae2ec68) ## Communities - Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center ## Tags Categories - [Data](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory%3DData "Data") Theme - [biota](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dbiota "biota (biota, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [invasive species](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dinvasive+species "invasive species (invasive species, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [natural resource management](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dnatural+resource+management "natural resource management (natural resource management, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [population and community ecology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dpopulation+and+community+ecology "population and community ecology (population and community ecology, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [population dynamics](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dpopulation+dynamics "population dynamics (population dynamics, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [rodent control](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Drodent+control "rodent control (rodent control, Theme, None)") - [rodenticide](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Drodenticide "rodenticide (rodenticide, Theme, None)") Place - [Hawaii](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHawaii "Hawaii (Hawaii, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Hawaii County 2](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHawaii+County+2 "Hawaii County 2 (Hawaii County 2, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Hawaii Volcanoes National Park](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHawaii+Volcanoes+National+Park "Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Place, None)") ## Provenance Data sourceInput directly ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

These data provide the spatial reference for a larger work describing the response of native species to rat control. Included are the corner boundaries for the 700x700 m (49 ha) study plots and each grid point/station within the centralized 300x300 m (9 ha) sub-plot at both the treatment and non-treatment site. Traps were placed 50 m apart, one at each station in the trapping grid, for a total of 49 traps in each of the sub-plots. The rodenticide treatment and native species monitoring were conducted using the entire 49 ha plot area at each site.</abstract>\n <purpose>These data can be used to describe the locations used for rat abundance estimates and native plant monitoring at each of the two study sites. These are the only two known wild populations of the endangered plant species Hibiscidelphus giffardianus, thus we were interested in how rat removal would affect plant reproduction.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20161018</begdate>\n <enddate>20170526</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>-155.322900</westbc>\n <eastbc>-155.298700</eastbc>\n <northbc>19.448500</northbc>\n <southbc>19.439800</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>Field plots Kipuka Ki and Kipuka Puaulu, Mauna Loa Strip section of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park</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>rodenticide</themekey>\n <themekey>rodent control</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>natural resource management</themekey>\n <themekey>population dynamics</themekey>\n <themekey>invasive species</themekey>\n <themekey>population and community ecology</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5bf85cd5e4b045bfcae2ec68</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>None</placekt>\n <placekey>Hawaii Volcanoes National Park</placekey>\n </place>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>Hawaii</placekey>\n <placekey>Hawaii County 2</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

Kipuka Ki was designated as the treatment plot in which rodenticide was applied, and Kipuka Puaulu was designated the non-treatment plot. The plot size was established to meet the toxicant registration requirements, and to be large enough to monitor the response of native flora and fauna to the reduction in rat populations. The plots were set up in a grid with stations placed every 50 m which were connected by transects running North-South. Nested Centrally within each plot was a smaller 300 x 300 m (9 ha) sub-plot in which we estimated rat abundance. All stations were first drawn into Arcmap and later located in the field using Garmin GPS units. All stations were marked with green and either blue or pink flagging and labeled with the station ID number.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20161018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <direct>Vector</direct>\n <ptvctinf>\n <sdtsterm>\n <sdtstype>Area chain</sdtstype>\n <ptvctcnt>16</ptvctcnt>\n </sdtsterm>\n </ptvctinf>\n </spdoinfo>\n <spref>\n <horizsys>\n <planar>\n <gridsys>\n <gridsysn>Universal Transverse Mercator</gridsysn>\n <utm>\n <utmzone>5</utmzone>\n <transmer>\n <sfctrmer>0.9996</sfctrmer>\n <longcm>-153.0</longcm>\n <latprjo>0.0</latprjo>\n <feast>500000.0</feast>\n <fnorth>0.0</fnorth>\n </transmer>\n </utm>\n </gridsys>\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>DataS3_PlotArea.csv</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Comma Separated Value (CSV) file containing data.</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>site</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>site</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>PUA</edomv>\n <edomvd>Kipuka Puaulu, non-treatment</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>KKI</edomv>\n <edomvd>Kipuka Ki, treatment</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>area</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Refers to scale, either the full plot grid, or the reduced sub-plot/trapping grid.</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>plot grid</edomv>\n <edomvd>Refers to entire study plot area, 700 x 700 m.</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>sub-plot/trapping grid</edomv>\n <edomvd>Refers to the sub-plot area, or trapping grid, 300 x 300 m.</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>station</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>station</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <udom>Refers to individual grid points or stations.

The data were produced to support spatial statistical modeling of cave-inhabiting species distribution in relation to physical factors of the surface environment. The Topographic Position Index (TPI) is a measure of local relief which represents the difference between the mean elevation of a local grid cell region and the mean elevation of cells in a surrounding neighborhood. The TPI was calculated using a moving window of an annulus with a 2 km inner radius and a 10 km outer radius. The resulting statistics were calculated using the zones within the 20 km grid across the Appalachian LCC area. The TPI was calculated using the Land Facet Corridor Designer toolset from Jenness Enterprises.

These data are housed in .csv file named “Nisqually GPS Data” and are sorted by date and time. The position data are grouped by data collection methods Point and Topo. Point method collected position data for 180 seconds and was used to survey surface water and instrumentation elevation. Topo method collected position point data for 1 second and was used for surveying delta bathymetry elevation. Data were collected using the available RTN-GPS network provided by the Washington State Reference Network and using a Trimble R8 GPS antenna mounted on a 2-meter rod. Position data are labeled with descriptors such as “WS” (water surface) or “Delta” which refer to the feature surveyed. Check-in/check-out procedures were satisfied using reference marker Station: pid\_sy0708. Two check-in orthometric heights were collected (60.05 and 60.10 m) and following point and topo data collection one check-out orthometric height (60.04 m) was collected. Bathymetric data (Topo method) was collected across the Nisqually River Delta starting at the left bank of McAllister Creek (MC2) and ended on the right bank of tidal channel D4. A total of 2,505 positions were surveyed using the topo method and positions were labeled as “delta-trav###”. Delta elevation ranged from 3.44 to -1.64 meters (NAVD88). Rod and antenna were held at a fixed level marked on both upper rod and technician for maintaining a constant 2 meter height above the walking surface. The bottom half of the rod was removed during topo data collection for ease of walking to avoid rod tip drag and keeping an even pace along the delta structures. Tidal channel bathymetry data consists of transects between banks with position names containing the tidal channel name and distance upstream or downstream of deployed sensor. Only D4 and D3 tidal channel bathymetric data sets were collected. Both D3 (Station ID: “les”) and D4 (Station ID: “are3”) had four tidal channel bathymetry transects collected which consisting of a 10 and 20 meter upstream and downstream of deployed sensor transects. Point data were collected at sites with sensors collecting water depth (WL) time-series data. GPS data was collected by holding the rod/antenna unit at a bubble-level static positioned for 3 minutes (180 epochs) during data collection. Point data were water surface elevations which were used to provide offsets for converting recorded water level (WL) data by sensors to referenced NAVD88. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Chad C.

Sediment cores were collected June 25, 2014 from the West site (Fishermans Cove) in Ashumet Pond, Cape Cod, MA then shipped to Boulder, CO for laboratory experiments. Groundwater used for these experiments was collected from a well just upgradient of the sediment collection site. Denitrification rates were determined on sediment plus groundwater slurries maintained under anaerobic conditions and employing the acetylene block method. Nitrous oxide concentrations were measured several times over the course of an approximately 7-hour period in serum bottles containing 30 g sieved sediment (<2mm) combined with 30 mL filtered groundwater at 3 different incubation temperatures (4, 15, 24 degrees Celsius). Denitrification rates were calculated based on the accumulation of nitrous oxide over time in the serum bottles. The temperature coefficient, Q10, for the sediment in Ashumet Pond was calculated using these denitrification rates and was determined to be 4.9, meaning that the rate of denitrification increased by a factor of 4.9 for every 10 degrees of temperature increase. ## Contacts Originator : [Deborah A Repert](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=8536), [Deborah L Stoliker](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=9981), [Richard L Smith](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=9652), [Douglas B Kent](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=5420), [Denis R LeBlanc](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=5967) Contact : [Deborah A Repert](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=8536) Metadata Contact : [Deborah A Repert](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=8536) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) USGS Mission Area : [Ecosystems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Ecosystems) SDC Data Owner : [Office of the Associate Director for Ecosystems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17005) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5ed959fc82ce7e579c6764df?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5ed959fc82ce7e579c6764df?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5ed959fc82ce7e579c6764df?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | DNF Q10 Data Release.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 47.53 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | DSCN2502.JPG<br>“Sediment collection site in Ashumet Pond.

Sediment cores were collected June 25, 2014 from the West site (Fishermans Cove) in Ashumet Pond, Cape Cod, MA then shipped to Boulder, CO for laboratory experiments. Groundwater used for these experiments was collected from a well just upgradient of the sediment collection site. Denitrification rates were determined on sediment plus groundwater slurries by the acetylene block method (Yoshinari and Knowles, 1976). Nitrous oxide concentrations were measured several times over the course of approximately a 7-hour period in serum bottles containing 30 g sieved sediment (&lt;2mm) combined with 30 mL filtered groundwater at 3 different incubation temperatures (4, 15, 24 degrees Celsius). Denitrification rates were calculated based on the accumulation of nitrous oxide over time in the serum bottles. The temperature coefficient, Q10, for the sediment at Ashumet Pond was calculated using these denitrification rates and was determined to be 4.9, meaning that the rate of denitrification increased by a factor of 4.9 for every 10 degrees of temperature increase.</abstract>\n <purpose>The purpose of the data release is to provide a measure of denitrification rates that can be applied to various models to assess biogeochemical processes predominant in Ashumet Pond sediments subjected to discharge from a groundwater wastewater plume.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <mdattim>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>20140616</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>20140623</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>20140626</caldate>\n </sngdate>\n </mdattim>\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>-70.543513</westbc>\n <eastbc>-70.536261</eastbc>\n <northbc>41.636310</northbc>\n <southbc>41.631402</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>Fishermans Cove, Ashumet Pond, Cape Cod, MA</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>environment</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>Denitrification</themekey>\n <themekey>sediment</themekey>\n <themekey>Q10</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt />\n <themekey />\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>water temperature</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5ed959fc82ce7e579c6764df</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>Massachusetts</placekey>\n <placekey>Cape Cod</placekey>\n <placekey>Falmouth</placekey>\n <placekey>Ashumet Pond</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.</accconst>\n <useconst>None.</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Deborah A Repert</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, WATER</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Microbiologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>3215 Marine St</address>\n <city>Boulder</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80303</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>303-541-3020</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>303-541-3084</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ptcontac>\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>Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract</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>Sediment collection and processing: \n\nLake sediments were collected in Fishermans Cove by driving a steel core barrel fitted with a 5\xe2\x80\x90cm\xe2\x80\x90diameter aluminum core liner to a depth of 30 cm below the sediment\xe2\x80\x90water interface. The core was separated into 0-5 and 5-30 cm depth intervals. Multiple cores from the 5-30 cm depth interval were collected from within an ~1\xe2\x80\x90m2 area. The sediment was combined then sieved through a 2\xe2\x80\x90mm\xe2\x80\x90mesh polypropylene screen. The &lt;2mm sized fraction was transferred to clean mason jars, capped, flushed with UHP helium (He) to maintain an anoxic headspace then shipped on ice overnight to the USGS in Boulder, CO (Stoliker et al., 2016).</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200626</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Deborah A Repert</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, WATER</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Microbiologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>3215 Marine St</address>\n <city>Boulder</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80303</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>303-541-3020</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>303-541-3084</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Groundwater collection and analysis: \n\nFiltered groundwater used for the incubations was collected from the anoxic zone of the plume (-4.32 m altitude) using a 15\xe2\x80\x90port multilevel sampling well (FSW 424-M01) located just upgradient of Fishermans Cove. A peristaltic pump, O2\xe2\x80\x90impermeable tubing (Pharmed) and 0.45 micron capsule filter were used to collect the groundwater (Savoie &amp; LeBlanc, 1998). Water samples were also collected, preserved and analyzed for NO3\xe2\x88\x92, NO2\xe2\x88\x92, NH4+, DOC, and N2O, and specific conductance, temperature, pH, and O2 was measured in the field on unfiltered groundwater (Repert et al., 2006; Savoie et al., 2006).</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200626</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Deborah A Repert</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, WATER</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Microbiologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>3215 Marine St</address>\n <city>Boulder</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80303</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>303-541-3020</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>303-541-3084</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Denitrification incubations: \n\nSediment, 30g wet weight, and filtered anoxic groundwater, 30g, were weighed into clean serum bottles in an anaerobic glovebag.

Three replicate serum bottles were equilibrated in incubators at each of 3 temperatures (4, 15, and 24 degrees Celsius) for at least 1 hour with end-over-end rotation mixing. After equilibration, 5 mL of anoxic, H2-free acetylene was added to the serum bottles plus an additional 10 mL of He to generate an internal positive pressure for sampling (Yoshinari and Knowles, 1976). The bottles were again equilibrated at the respective temperatures for 1 hour. An anoxic stock solution of NaNO3 was added to the serum bottles by syringe to achieve a final concentration of 100 \xc2\xb5M. Gas samples were collected several times over the course of an 8 hour period from the serum bottle headspace and analyzed immediately for nitrous oxide (N2O) concentration using an HNU model 301 GC equipped with a Porapak N column, P-5 carrier gas and Valco Instruments 63Ni electron capture detector (Brooks et al., 1992).</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200626</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Deborah A Repert</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, WATER</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Microbiologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>3215 Marine St</address>\n <city>Boulder</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80303</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>303-541-3020</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>303-541-3084</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Calculation of Q10 temperature coefficient:\n\nQ10 is the factor by which the reaction rate increases when the temperature is increased by 10 degrees.\n\nQ10 = (R2/R1)^(10/(T2-T1)), where R1 is the denitrification rate in nmol N2O-N/gDW/hr at temperature T1 and R2 is the denitrification rate in nmol N2O-N/gDW/hr at temperature T2\n\nT1 = 4 degrees Celsius\nT2 = 24 degrees Celsius\n\nNote: The calculation of Q10 is achieved using the average values of the replicate Sed_Slopes values.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20200626</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Deborah A Repert</cntper>\n <cntorg>U.S. Geological Survey, WATER</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Microbiologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing address</addrtype>\n <address>3215 Marine St</address>\n <city>Boulder</city>\n <state>CO</state>\n <postal>80303</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>303-541-3020</cntvoice>\n <cntfax>303-541-3084</cntfax>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>References:\n\nStoliker, D.L, Repert, D.A., Smith, R.L., Song, B., LeBlanc, D.R., McCobb, T.M., Conaway, C.H., Hyun, S.P., Koh, D.-C., Moon, H.S., and Kent, D.B., 2016, Hydrologic Controls on Nitrogen Cycling Processes and Functional Gene Abundance in Sediments of a Groundwater Flow-Through Lake, Environmental Science &amp; Technology, 50 (7), 3649-3657, doi: 10.1021/acs.est.5b06155.\n\nSavoie, J.G., and LeBlanc, D.R., 1998, Water-quality data and methods of analysis for samples collected near a plume of sewage-contaminated ground water, Ashumet Valley, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 1993\xe2\x80\x9394, U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 97\xe2\x80\x934269, 208 p.\n\nRepert, D.A., Barber, L.B., Hess, K.B., Keefe, S.H., Kent, D.B., LeBlanc, D.H. and Smith, R.L., 2006, Long-term natural attenuation of carbon and nitrogen within a groundwater plume after removal of the treated wastewater source, Environmental Science &amp; Technology, 40, p. 1154-1162. \n\nSavoie, J.G., Smith, R.L., Kent, D.B., Hess, K.M., LeBlanc, D.R., and Barber, L.B., 2006, Ground-water-quality data for a treated-wastewater plume undergoing natural restoration, Ashumet Valley, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 1994\xe2\x80\x932004, U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 198, p. 339.\n\nYoshinari, T., and Knowles, R., 1976, Acetylene inhibition of nitrous oxide reduction by denitrifying bacteria, Biochem.

These simulations provide results from historical and 12 future general circulation model scenarios for the period 1949-2099 to determine the potential effects of climate change on the hydrology and water quality of a snow-dominated mountainous environment. In addition to the inputs and outputs, this Data Release includes summaries of the input and output data in netCDF format. ## Summary These data can be used to replicate the application of MWBMglacier as described in two journal articles: 1) Enhancement of a parsimonious water balance model to simulate surface hydrology in a glacierized watershed (in review), and 2) Hydrologic regime changes in a high-latitude glacierized watershed under future climate conditions (doi:10.3390/w10020128).

In addition to the inputs and outputs, this Data Release includes summaries of the input and output data in netCDF format. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Roland J Viger](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=54961) Originator : [Melissa Valentin](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=69944), [Roland J Viger](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=54961), [Ashley E Van Beusekom](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Ashley+E+Van+Beusekom), [Lauren E Hay](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4344), [Terri Hogue](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Terri+Hogue) Metadata Contact : [Roland J Viger](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=54961) 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 : [Land Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Land+Resources) SDC Data Owner : [Climate Adaptation Science Centers](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59606) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5a4d485ae4b0d05ee8c4d179?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5a4d485ae4b0d05ee8c4d179?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5a4d485ae4b0d05ee8c4d179?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | MwbmGlacierApplicationCopper.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 15.44 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | ModelMean85.zip | | 948.22 MB | application/zip | | readme\_netCDF.txt | | 3.82 KB | text/plain | | GISS85.zip | | 947.01 MB | application/zip | | MRI45.zip | | 946.42 MB | application/zip | | ModelMean45.zip | | 944.41 MB | application/zip | | GFDL45.zip | | 953.51 MB | application/zip | | GISS45.zip | | 946.77 MB | application/zip | | MRI85.zip | | 950.01 MB | application/zip | | GFDL85.zip | | 958.82 MB | application/zip | | CCSM85.zip | | 961.27 MB | application/zip | | CCSM45.zip | | 960.86 MB | application/zip | | ModelMean45HistPre.zip | | 1.06 GB | application/zip | | ModelMean85HistPre.zip | | 1.06 GB | application/zip | | HistMeanmoTP.zip | | 1.08 GB | application/zip | | Historical.zip | | 604.85 MB | application/zip | | ModelInput.zip | | 1.13 GB | application/zip | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Valentin, M.

Dreissenid mussels biofoul unionid mussels in large numbers and interfere with unionid movement, acquisition of food and ability to open and close their shells. Initial expectations for the Great Lakes were that unionids would be extirpated where they co-occur with dreissenids, but recently adult and juvenile unionids have been found alive in several apparent refugia. These unionid populations may persist due to reduced dreissenid biofouling in these areas, and/or due to processes that remove biofoulers. For example, locations inaccessible to veligers may reduce biofouling and habitats with soft substrates may allow unionids to burrow and thus remove dreissenids. Here, biofouling was measured by deploying caged unionid mussels (Lampsilis siliquoidea) at 36 sites across the western basin of Lake Erie to assess spatial variation in biofouling and to identify other areas that might promote the persistence or recovery of native unionid mussels. Biofouling ranged from 0.03 – 26.33 g per mussel, reached a maximum in the immediate vicinity of the Maumee rivermouth, and appeared to primarily consist of dreissenid mussels. A known mussel refugium in the vicinity of a power plant near the Maumee rivermouth actually exhibited very high biofouling rates, suggesting low dreissenid colonization is unlikely to be the primary cause of unionid survival in this refugium. The southern nearshore area of Lake Erie, near another refugium, also had very low biofouling. A large stretch of the western basin appeared to have low biofouling rates and muddy substrates, raising the possibility that these open water areas could support remnant and returning populations of unionid mussels. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [James H Larson](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=23316) Metadata Contact : [James H Larson](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=23316) 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/55f02a2ee4b0dacf699ea024?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/55f02a2ee4b0dacf699ea024?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/55f02a2ee4b0dacf699ea024?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Biofouling Metadata.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 39.91 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | biofouling.csv | | 7.02 KB | text/csv | | BiofoulingHD Data.csv | | 2.1 KB | text/csv | | HesterDendy Data.csv | | 13.4 KB | text/csv | ## Purpose Collected as part of study on ecological process across the western basin of Lake Erie. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/55f02a2ee4b0dacf699ea024) [](/catalog/item/imap/55f02a2ee4b0dacf699ea024) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ## Communities - Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) ## 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 - [Ecological process monitoring](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEcological+process+monitoring "Ecological process monitoring (Ecological process monitoring, Theme, None)") - [biofouling](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dbiofouling "biofouling (biofouling, Theme, None)") Place - [Lake Erie](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLake+Erie "Lake Erie (Lake Erie, Place, GNIS)") - [Ohio](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DOhio "Ohio (Ohio, Place, GNIS)") Types - [Citation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseType%3DCitation "Citation") - [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 Data sourceInput directly ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/F7V9864S | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Dreissenid mussels biofoul unionid\nmussels in large numbers and interfere with unionid movement,\nacquisition of food and ability to open and close their shells.\nInitial expectations for the Great Lakes were that unionids would be\nextirpated where they co-occur with dreissenids, but recently adult\nand juvenile unionids have been found alive in several apparent\nrefugia. These unionid populations may persist due to reduced\ndreissenid biofouling in these areas, and/or due to processes that\nremove biofoulers. For example, locations inaccessible to veligers\nmay reduce biofouling and habitats with soft substrates may allow\nunionids to burrow and thus remove dreissenids. Here, biofouling was\nmeasured by deploying caged unionid mussels (Lampsilis siliquoidea) at\n36 sites across the western basin of Lake Erie to assess spatial\nvariation in biofouling and to identify other areas that might promote\nthe persistence or recovery of native unionid mussels. Biofouling\nranged from 0.03 \xe2\x80\x93 26.33 g per mussel, reached a maximum in the\nimmediate vicinity of the Maumee rivermouth, and appeared to primarily\nconsist of dreissenid mussels. A known mussel refugium in the\nvicinity of a power plant near the Maumee rivermouth actually\nexhibited very high biofouling rates, suggesting low dreissenid\ncolonization is unlikely to be the primary cause of unionid survival\nin this refugium. The southern nearshore area of Lake Erie, near\nanother refugium, also had very low biofouling. A large stretch of the\nwestern basin appeared to have low biofouling rates and muddy\nsubstrates, raising the possibility that these open water areas could\nsupport remnant and returning populations of unionid mussels.</abstract>\n <purpose>Collected as part of study on ecological process across the western basin of Lake Erie.</purpose>\n <supplinf>GPS coordinates for each site included in data.</supplinf>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20150602</begdate>\n <enddate>20140827</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 <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>Ecological process monitoring</themekey>\n <themekey>biofouling</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:55f02a2ee4b0dacf699ea024</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>GNIS</placekt>\n <placekey>Ohio</placekey>\n <placekey>Lake Erie</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

Furthermore, it is unclear that a reproducing resident population exists at this time in Lake Erie. In the previously referenced studies on mussel refugia in Lake Erie, Bryan et al. ( 2013) found a single immature individual and Crail et al. (2011) found one location with live individuals (no mention of how many), suggesting resident populations are exceedingly rare within Lake Erie itself.</procdesc>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Mussels used in this study were randomly assigned to cages.

Biofouling was removed by hand scrubbing, but in some cases traces of byssal threads could not be completely removed. Wet-weight was taken after surface blotting (both before and after removal of biofouling). Weights were taken to the nearest 0.01 g on a balance (OHous CT-200-5) with daily calibration checks. \nAt each site we attached a modified Hester-Dendy sampler (Hester and Dendy 1962) to the rope directly beneath the unionid cage and above the cement block to measure biota colonizing that site (the base of the Hester-Dendy sampler was &lt;30 cm from the bottom of the unionid cage). These samplers had 14 round plates consisting of 8 single spaces (3.2 mm), 1 double space (6.4 mm), 2 triple spaces (9.6 mm), and 2 quadruple spaces (12.8 mm). Total surface area was approximately 1300 cm2 in each sampler. Immediately upon retrieval of the cage/block/sampler assembly, samplers were cut free of the rope and placed into 2-L jars of 95% ethanol for preservation and returned to the lab. Samplers were disassembled and all biota were carefully scraped off the samplers into individually labeled storage containers. Each sampler was subsetted using a Folsom splitter (McEwen et al. 1954) and individuals were identified into large taxonomic groups. Each taxa was then dried for &gt;24 h at 60\xc2\xb0 C and weighed to the nearest 0.0001 g on a balance (Mettler-AT200) with daily calibration checks.</procdesc>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Statistics were used to describe spatial variation in biofouling and correlation between different ways of measuring biofouling and Hester-Dendy colonization. Descriptive site statistics were calculated from taking the mean and 95% credible intervals of all 3 mussels in each cage. These descriptive statistics were calculated in R (Version 3.1.0; R Development Core Team 2014) following the methods of McCarthy (2007) using the BRugs package (Thomas et al. 2006). Unionid biofouling was calculated both as a total mass and as the mass as a percentage of unionid mass (because bigger mussels could presumably accumulate more biofouling organisms). Correlations between these different estimates of biofouling were estimated using the Bayesian First Aid package (B\xc3\xa5\xc3\xa5th 2014). Correlations between biofouling and the mass of dreissenids colonizing the Hester Dendy samplers were done using the same method. All data was log-transformed prior to performing correlations</procdesc>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Biofouling maps were generated by interpolating values between points in ArcMap 10.2 (ESRI 2011) using the spatial analyst tool \xe2\x80\x9cSpline with barriers\xe2\x80\x9d. In this case, the barrier was a boundary of the western basin of Lake Erie created using the shoreline of the lake and extended up the Maumee rivermouth channel to encompass all cage sites. The boundary did not extend beyond the area sampled. Substrate types for Lake Erie were obtained from the Institute for Fisheries Research (Lake Erie Habitat Task Group 2013; via Lacey Mason).</procdesc>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n

Sample Collection: \[...\] ## Summary **Summary:** Siliceous sinter samples were collected from multiple geysers in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in 2018. These silica sinter samples were collected and analyzed as a part of a multi-year research investigation into the age and geochemistry of hydrothermal features in the Upper Geyser Basin. Samples were collected along the stratigraphy of each feature. From these samples, we report 10Be, U-series, and 14C ages. Samples collected from Giant and Castle Geyser were further analyzed for their mineralogy, major and trace element concentrations, water content, and rare earth elements. This research was conducted under Yellowstone Research Permit YELL-2018-SCI-8030 and YELL-2018-SCI-5910. **Sample Collection:** Sinter samples were collected from the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in April 2018, November 2018, and April 2019. Forty-eight samples of silica sinter were collected from 10 different hydrothermal features. At each geyser the best-exposed stratigraphy was identified and fist-sized samples were collected at approximately 1 meter intervals from the shield to the cone; samples were numbered sequentially. Geographic coordinates (WGS84, UTM Zone 12N) of each sample site were obtained using a handheld GPS and all sites were photographed. Including duplicates, we report 46 total ages using carbon-14, beryllium-10, and uranium-thorium series dating methods. Fifteen of the samples were collected from Giant (UGB-TD-24 through 29) and Castle (UGB-TD-30 through 39, excluding UGB-TD-38) Geysers. These samples were further analyzed using X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. **Database Contents:** The data file (Sample\_Information\_Supplementary.csv) contains the sample ID, date collected, and sample location for each sample analyzed as a part of this study.

These geyserite samples were collected and analyzed as a part of a multi-year research investigation into the age and geochemistry of hydrothermal features in the Upper Geyser Basin. Samples were collected along the stratigraphy of each feature. From these samples, we report 10Be, U-series, and 14C ages. Samples collected from Giant and Castle Geyser were further analyzed for their mineralogy, major and trace element concentrations, water content, and rare earth elements. This research was conducted under Yellowstone Research Permits YELL-2018-SCI-8030 and YELL-2018-SCI-5910.\n\nSample Collection: Sinter samples were collected from the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in April 2018, November 2018, and April 2019. Forty-eight samples of silica sinter were collected from 10 different hydrothermal features. At each geyser the best-exposed stratigraphy was identified and fist-sized samples were collected at approximately 1 meter intervals from the shield to the cone; samples were numbered sequentially. Geographic coordinates (WGS84, UTM Zone 12N) of each sample site were obtained using a handheld GPS and all sites were photographed. Including duplicates, we report 46 total ages using carbon-14, beryllium-10, and uranium-thorium series dating methods.\n\nDatabase Contents: The data file (Sample_Information_Supplementary.csv) contains the sample ID, date collected, and sample location for each sample analyzed as a part of this study. \nThe entries in the data file appear in the following columns:\nA.

The event was a result of heavy precipitation over a 72-hour period combined with pre-existing saturated soil conditions in the upper portions of the Pearl River basin. USGS streamgages 02482000 Pearl River at Edinburg, MS and 02482550 Pearl River at Carthage, MS recorded 8.2 and 8.6 inches of precipitation respectively for the period of February 10-13. On February 17, the Pearl River crested at USGS streamgage 02486000 Pearl River at Jackson, MS at 36.67 feet (ft) (270.06 ft North American Vertical Datum of 1988) which was the highest peak since 1983 and fourth highest peak since record began in 1901. The USGS recovered and surveyed 72 high-watermarks along a 19-mile valley reach of the Pearl River in the Jackson area. This reach extended from the Ross Barnett Reservoir dam downstream to the city of Byram. These high-watermarks represent headwater flooding along the Pearl River main stem and backwater flooding along multiple tributaries. Peak elevations were also recorded at seven tributary hydrograph stations within the study reach. The high-watermark elevations were used to develop maps depicting the areal extent and depths of the flood. A water surface profile of this event was also compared to profiles documented following the April 1979 and May 1983 flood events. The file types contained in this data release include shapefiles, rasters, graphic (jpg), comma-separated values (csv) files, and metadata. ## Contacts Originator : [John B Storm](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10004) Point of Contact : [John B Storm](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10004) Metadata Contact : [John B Storm](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10004) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Data Owner : [Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=72866) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17256) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5eb05ccd82cefae35a27a5ab?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5eb05ccd82cefae35a27a5ab?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5eb05ccd82cefae35a27a5ab?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2020\_Pearl\_Flood\_METADATA.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 24.37 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | HWMs\_PearlRiver.csv | | 14.31 KB | text/csv | | Pearl River Profiles.csv | | 1.2 KB | text/csv | | Flood\_Profiles.jpg |  | 80.62 KB | image/jpeg | | 2020\_Pearl\_Flood\_GIS2.zip | | 4.28 MB | application/zip | ## Purpose The data were collected for historical documentation and to assist city managers, planners, and other agencies with planning and mitigation efforts in future flood events in the City of Jackson. ## Preview Image  ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5eb05ccd82cefae35a27a5ab) [](/catalog/item/imap/5eb05ccd82cefae35a27a5ab) ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products - USGS Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center ## 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 - [datasets](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Ddatasets "datasets (datasets, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [drainage basins](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Ddrainage+basins "drainage basins (drainage basins, Theme, Alexandria Digital Library Feature Type Thesaurus)") - [elevation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Delevation "elevation (elevation, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [floods](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dfloods "floods (floods, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [hazard preparedness](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dhazard+preparedness "hazard preparedness (hazard preparedness, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [high water-mark](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dhigh+water-mark "high water-mark (high water-mark, Theme, None)") - [inlandWaters](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DinlandWaters "inlandWaters (inlandWaters, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [inundation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dinundation "inundation (inundation, Theme, None)") - [location](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dlocation "location (location, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [river reaches](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Driver+reaches "river reaches (river reaches, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [streamflow](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dstreamflow "streamflow (streamflow, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Jackson](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DJackson "Jackson (Jackson, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Mississippi](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMississippi "Mississippi (Mississippi, Place, Common geographic areas)") - [Pearl River](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DPearl+River "Pearl River (Pearl River, Place, Common geographic areas)") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Hydrology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHydrology "Hydrology (Hydrology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Water Resources](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWater+Resources "Water Resources (Water Resources, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") ## Provenance ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/P90YKHP3 | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

The USGS recovered and surveyed 72 high-watermarks along a 19-mile valley reach of the Pearl River in the Jackson area. This reach extended from the Ross Barnett Reservoir dam downstream to the city of Byram. These high-watermarks represent headwater flooding along the Pearl River main stem and backwater flooding along multiple tributaries. Peak elevations were also recorded at seven tributary hydrograph stations within the study reach. The high-watermark elevations were used to develop maps depicting the areal extent and depths of the flood. A water surface profile of this event was also compared to profiles documented following the April 1979 and May 1983 flood events. The file types contained in this data release include shapefiles, rasters, graphic (jpg), comma-separated values (csv) files, and metadata.</abstract>\n <purpose>The data were collected for historical documentation and to assist city managers, planners, and other agencies with planning and mitigation efforts in future flood events in the City of Jackson.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20200210</begdate>\n <enddate>20200226</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>-90.2535</westbc>\n <eastbc>-90.0494</eastbc>\n <northbc>32.4219</northbc>\n <southbc>32.1664</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Category</themekt>\n <themekey>elevation</themekey>\n <themekey>inlandWaters</themekey>\n <themekey>location</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>high water-mark</themekey>\n <themekey>inundation</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>floods</themekey>\n <themekey>streamflow</themekey>\n <themekey>hazard preparedness</themekey>\n <themekey>datasets</themekey>\n <themekey>river reaches</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>Alexandria Digital Library Feature Type Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>drainage basins</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5eb05ccd82cefae35a27a5ab</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common geographic areas</placekt>\n <placekey>Jackson</placekey>\n <placekey>Mississippi</placekey>\n <placekey>Pearl River</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>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.

Both tributary confluence sites serve as critical summer thermal refuge for cold water-adapted poikilotherms. The objectives for this data collection included the creation of high-resolution orthomosaic images of the two tributary confluences to infer bank and instream structures and mixing processes at the tributary confluences. Detailed site-scale maps such as these are important tools for managers and researchers aiming to protect and conserve populations at risk. The UAS (Mavic 2 Zoom, DJI Enterprises) was flown several times per day, at wind speeds below 10 mph, capturing RGB imagery from March 24-25, 2021. The UAV flights collected single RGB JPG images at 30-50m above ground level using the double-grid flight pattern on the third-party app Pix4D Capture (https://www.pix4d.com/product/pix4dcapture). The images were stitched automatically into several orthomosaic images using Agisoft Metashape (Agisoft LLC, St. Petersburg, Russia) software as described in the ‘processed\_data’ subfolders of this data release. Structure from Motion techniques were also applied to the visual imagery to derive time-specific, digital surface models (DSM) of the exposed banks and some subsurface features. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Martin A Briggs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=60112) Originator : [N Marek](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=N+Marek), [CJ Sullivan](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=CJ+Sullivan), [Martin A Briggs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=60112) Metadata Contact : [Martin A Briggs](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=60112) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) SDC Data Owner : [Earth System Processes Division](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=77188) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/60772608d34e018b32041fbe?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/60772608d34e018b32041fbe?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/60772608d34e018b32041fbe?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | UAS\_Housatonic2021.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 12.8 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Furnace\_Brook\_3\_24\_21\_Ortho.jpg<br>“A low-res picture of the Furnace Brook orthoimage.” |  | 5.8 MB | image/jpeg | | README.txt | | 1.04 KB | text/plain | | Processed\_data.zip | | 777.6 MB | application/zip | | Raw\_data.zip | | 3.72 GB | application/zip | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Sullivan, C., Vokoun, J., Helton, A., Briggs, M.A., and Kurylyk, B., 2021, An ecohydrological typology for thermal refuges in streams and rivers, Ecohydrology, doi.org/10.1002/eco.2295 | [https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.2295](https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.2295 "https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.2295") | ## Purpose The primary purpose for data collection is to support fisheries conservation in the Housatonic River through better understanding of cold summer refuge zones. The Housatonic River contains one of the state’s premier ‘blue-ribbon’ trout fisheries, particularly in the river reaches of interest. During the summer, trout must rely on cold-water thermal refuges for survival as main stem water temperatures exceed upper critical thermal limits for trout for days to months. For additional background on thermal refuges used by trout during times of thermal stress, please see this publication: doi.org/10.1002/eco.2295. Mill Brook and Furnace Brook are two cold-water tributaries whose confluences are known to provide thermal refuge, as discrete, dense aggregations of trout form in these tributaries during high temperatures. The high-resolution orthomosaic images can be used to infer bank and instream structures and mixing processes at the tributary confluences, both of which are important for determining available refuge habitat for trout and potential augmentation strategies. Additionally, the visible-light orthomosaic images are useful as a georeferenced map of the tributary confluence site upon which spatial data can be derived and analyzed. ## Preview Image  A low-res picture of the Furnace Brook orthoimage. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/60772608d34e018b32041fbe) [](/catalog/item/imap/60772608d34e018b32041fbe) ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products - USGS Hydrogeophysics Branch ## Tags 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 - [Groundwater](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGroundwater "Groundwater (Groundwater, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Surface Water](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DSurface+Water "Surface Water (Surface Water, Theme, none)") - [UAS](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DUAS "UAS (UAS, Theme, none)") - [aerial photography](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Daerial+photography "aerial photography (aerial photography, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [drone](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Ddrone "drone (drone, Theme, none)") - [environment](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Denvironment "environment (environment, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [geophysics](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dgeophysics "geophysics (geophysics, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [geoscientificInformation](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DgeoscientificInformation "geoscientificInformation (geoscientificInformation, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [groundwater and surface-water interaction](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dgroundwater+and+surface-water+interaction "groundwater and surface-water interaction (groundwater and surface-water interaction, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [hydrogeology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dhydrogeology "hydrogeology (hydrogeology, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [hydrology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dhydrology "hydrology (hydrology, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [image collections](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dimage+collections "image collections (image collections, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [inlandWaters](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DinlandWaters "inlandWaters (inlandWaters, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") - [remote sensing](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dremote+sensing "remote sensing (remote sensing, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [surface water (non-marine)](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dsurface+water+%28non-marine%29 "surface water (non-marine) (surface water (non-marine), Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [unmanned aircraft system](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dunmanned+aircraft+system "unmanned aircraft system (unmanned aircraft system, Theme, none)") - [unoccupied aircraft system](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dunoccupied+aircraft+system "unoccupied aircraft system (unoccupied aircraft system, Theme, none)") - [water temperature](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwater+temperature "water temperature (water temperature, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Connecticut](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DConnecticut "Connecticut (Connecticut, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Housatonic River Watershed](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHousatonic+River+Watershed "Housatonic River Watershed (Housatonic River Watershed, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") - [Litchfield County](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLitchfield+County "Litchfield County (Litchfield County, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Geophysics](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGeophysics "Geophysics (Geophysics, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Hydrology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DHydrology "Hydrology (Hydrology, 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/P9B3TLNL | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Both tributary confluence sites serve as critical summer thermal refuge for cold water-adapted poikilotherms. The objectives for this data collection included the creation of high-resolution orthomosaic images of the two tributary confluences to \ninfer bank and instream structures and mixing processes at the tributary confluences. Detailed site-scale maps such as these are important tools for managers and researchers aiming to protect and conserve populations at risk. The UAS (Mavic 2 Zoom, DJI Enterprises) was flown several times per day, at wind speeds below 10 mph, capturing RGB imagery from March 24-25, 2021. The UAV flights collected single RGB JPG images at 30-50m above ground level using the double-grid flight pattern on the third-party app Pix4D Capture (https://www.pix4d.com/product/pix4dcapture).

Nuclei from produced larval sturgeon somatic cells were analyzed using flow cytometry to estimate genome size and assign ploidy. Freshly collected rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), or pallid sturgeon blood were used as external controls, whereby the fish blood samples were analyzed in separate tubes from the cells of prepared sturgeon larvae.

Current molecular markers cannot reliably distinguish among the species and backcrosses. Additionally, differentiation of species by their morphometric and meristic characters alone is problematic. Thus, these data were generated to affirm ploidy and estimate genome size of sturgeon larvae artificially produced by using various milt treatments to disallow sperm genetic contribution, and various female egg donors in efforts to ultimately generate a reference DNA sequence to be helpful in discerning the wild caught sturgeon that are pure species from those with multigenerational backcrosses. ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5f92e4c082ce720ee2d57827) [](/catalog/item/imap/5f92e4c082ce720ee2d57827) ## Communities - Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) - USGS Data Release Products ## Tags 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 - [Endangered species](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DEndangered+species "Endangered species (Endangered species, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Flow cytometry](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DFlow+cytometry "Flow cytometry (Flow cytometry, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [Genome size](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGenome+size "Genome size (Genome size, Theme, None)") - [Pallid sturgeon](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DPallid+sturgeon "Pallid sturgeon (Pallid sturgeon, Theme, None)") - [Ploidy](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DPloidy "Ploidy (Ploidy, Theme, USGS Biocomplexity Thesaurus)") - [biota](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dbiota "biota (biota, Theme, ISO 19115 Topic Category)") Place - [Columbia](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DColumbia "Columbia (Columbia, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Columbia Environmental Research Center](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DColumbia+Environmental+Research+Center "Columbia Environmental Research Center (Columbia Environmental Research Center, Place, None)") - [Lafayette](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLafayette "Lafayette (Lafayette, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Louisiana](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DLouisiana "Louisiana (Louisiana, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Missouri](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DMissouri "Missouri (Missouri, Place, Geographic Names Information System)") - [Wetland and Aquatic Research Center](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DWetland+and+Aquatic+Research+Center "Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, Place, None)") USGS Scientific Topic Keyword - [Aquatic Biology](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DAquatic+Biology "Aquatic Biology (Aquatic Biology, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") - [Genetics](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DGenetics "Genetics (Genetics, USGS Scientific Topic Keyword, )") ## Provenance ## Additional Information ### Identifiers | Type | Scheme | Key | | --- | --- | --- | | DOI | https://www.sciencebase.gov/vocab/category/item/identifier | doi:10.5066/P9T3LM1C | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

Methods were a) activate pallid sturgeon eggs with ultraviolet (UV) irradiated sperm from the heterologous paddlefish to produce haploid gynogenetic sturgeon, and b) activate pallid sturgeon eggs with UV-irradiated paddlefish sperm followed by thermal shock to disrupt the first mitotic division and produce mitotic gynogenetic sturgeon with the same chromosome complement as wild pallid sturgeon. The range of times post-fertilization used for the thermal shock trials for the doubled haploid production related to experimentally derived tau values. The tau value is the duration of the mitotic cycle during the period of synchronous cleavage divisions (Dettlaff and Dettlaff, 1961). \nTwo successive experiments were conducted, one during the spring of 2017 and one in the spring of 2018. Procedures used during 2017 informed the modification of procedures used during 2018, which included performing flow cytometry to determine ploidy of specimens produced from these trials. All broodstock and free embryos used in this study were treated according to animal care and use guidelines established by the Columbia Environmental Research Center (Animal Welfare Plan, policy number 1401). The study plan was approved by the designated U.S. Geological Survey animal care and use committee and adhered to pallid sturgeon propagation and handling protocols established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. \nPallid sturgeon eggs and milt, and paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) milt were obtained through artificial induction of fish at Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery (GPNFH) in Yankton, South Dakota. \nMale pallid sturgeon and paddlefish were induced to spermiate by the administration of a single intramuscular injection of Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone analog (LHRHa; Syndell Labratories, Vancouver, British Columbia) at a dosage of 10 micrograms per kilogram (\xc2\xb5g/kg) of body weight, approximately 24 h before expected milt collection. Milt was collected using a flexible section of poly-vinyl chloride tubing attached to the end of a 30 milliliter (mL) syringe. Reproductively ready female pallid sturgeon were induced to ovulate by the administration of two separate hormone injections. The first dose was an intramuscular injection of LHRHa at a dosage of 10 \xc2\xb5g/kg of body weight. The second injection was an intramuscular injection of LHRHa at a dosage of 450 \xc2\xb5g/kg of body weight given 12 h after the first injection. At ovulation, eggs were expressed using gentle abdominal pressure. Eggs were obtained from five female pallid sturgeon in 2017, and four in 2018. Eggs from each female in 2018 were crossed with milt from a single male paddlefish in 2018, representing a single family. \nSpermatozoa of the heterologous paddlefish were genetically inactivated by ultra-violet (UV) irradiation at 254 Aliquots of UV-irradiated milt were combined and placed on wet ice in a dark cooler until ovulated pallid sturgeon eggs were ready to be activated. Fertilization and activation of ovulated eggs was performed in a darkened room to prevent photo-reactivation of UV-irradiated paddlefish DNA in treated milt. \nTreatment trials were conducted with two controls: an egg quality control group (C1) in which an aliquot of eggs from each female was fertilized with milt from 1\xe2\x80\x932 pallid sturgeon (no thermal shock treatment) to verify egg viability, and a hybrid viability control group (C2) in which an aliquot of eggs from each female was fertilized with milt from 1\xe2\x80\x934 paddlefish (no thermal shock) to verify that no viable hybrids were produced. At the time of fertilization, milt was mixed with water at a ratio of 1:100, and quickly added to the eggs. The eggs were then gently mixed with the milt-water solution for 3 min, rinsed with fresh water, then combined with Fuller\xe2\x80\x99s Earth and mixed for 15 m to remove adhesiveness (Van Eenennaam et al., 2012). Activated eggs were placed in separate, floating, screened containers in a water bath supplied with continuously flowing hatchery water maintained at spawning temperature (17.1\xe2\x80\x9317.5 \xc2\xb0C). Random samples of approximately 50 eggs from the C1 group from each female pallid sturgeon were examined under 10x magnification at 5\xe2\x80\x9310 min intervals using a SMZ 445 stereomicroscope (Nikon Instruments Inc., Melville, New York) to record the length of time between the first and second cell cleavage (tau, one mitotic cycle) to determine the timing of the thermal shock treatments (described below). In 2017, tau was determined to be 70 min for the eggs of all five females. In 2018, tau was determined to be 65 min for the eggs of three females and 70 min for the eggs of the fourth female. \nFive treatments were performed: Treatment 1 (T1), pallid sturgeon eggs were activated with UV-irradiated paddlefish milt (no thermal shock) in order to produce haploids. For treatments 2\xe2\x80\x935 (T2\xe2\x80\x93T5), aliquots of pallid sturgeon eggs were activated with UV-irradiated paddlefish milt (thermal shock treatment, described below, was applied at 1.6 tau, 1.8 tau, 2.0 tau, and 2.4 tau, for treatment groups T2\xe2\x80\x93T5, respectively) to produce doubled haploids via mitotic gynogenesis. Aliquots of eggs were activated with UV-irradiated paddlefish milt as described above, transferred to separate, floating screened containers and maintained at spawning temperature until thermal shock treatment. Thermal shock treatments were performed based on methods outlined by Mims and Shelton (1998) and Fopp-Bayat and others (2017). Briefly, thermal shock was induced by submerging activated eggs into a 20 L PolyScience General Purpose Water Bath (Niles, Illinois U.S.A.) maintained at 34 \xc2\xb0C for 2.5 min. Timing of the thermal shock application was calculated based on trial temperature and observed tau values for C1 eggs: 1.6 tau (T2), 1.8 tau (T3), 2.0 tau (T4), and 2.4 tau (T5). Thermal shock was applied at either 104/112 min post-activation (mpa, 1.6 tau), 117/126 mpa (1.8 tau), 130/140 mpa (2.0 tau), or 156/168 mpa (2.4 tau), respectively (Dettlaff and Dettlaff, 1961). \nEggs from each of the above-described trial groups were transferred to McDonald-type hatching jars and maintained separately throughout the study. After hatching, free embryos were transferred to polypropylene baskets fitted with 250-micron (\xc2\xb5) stainless steel screens that retained hatched free embryos and allowed for continuous water flow. Hatching jars and free embryo baskets were continuously supplied with water (300 milligram per Liter (mg/L) hardness as CaCO3, 260 mg/L alkalinity as CaCO3, 670\xe2\x80\x93690 microSeimens per centimeter (\xc2\xb5S/cm) conductivity, 7.7\xe2\x80\x937.8 pH) from a partially recirculating (minimum 8 volume replacements per day), temperature controlled system (17.0\xe2\x80\x9319.6 \xc2\xb0C) equipped with UV-sterilization. \nSpecimens in experimental trials were expected to have very low viability and survival through the initiation of feeding due to syndromes associated with homozygosity. Viable specimens were cultured for at least 8\xe2\x80\x9310 days post hatch in order to produce enough tissue substrate for flow cytometry and/or microsatellite genotyping analyses. Specimens were euthanized with an overdose of tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222). In 2017, specimens were preserved in 95% ethanol prior to microsatellite genotyping. In 2018, when the flow cytometry component of the experiment was added, specimens were selected from each treatment and the yolk-sac was carefully removed. The specimen was divided roughly into two equal portions. One half of the specimen was flash frozen immediately in approximately 200 microliters of Hank\xe2\x80\x99s balanced salt solution (HBSS, 255 milliosmoles/kg, pH = 7.4) and stored at -80 \xc2\xb0C for later microsatellite genotyping. The other half of the specimen was placed in 200 micorliters of HBSS in preparation to determine ploidy level using flow cytometry.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Flow cytometry: Fresh blood standards were collected from largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides, pallid sturgeon and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was collected in vials containing acid citrate dextrose anticoagulant. Each 40 \xc2\xb5L sample of 1:50 blood:HBSS dilution was combined with working propidium iodide (PI) solution (5 \xc2\xb5g/mL propidium iodide, 0.112% sodium citrate, 0.1% triton X-100, RNase at 650 Kunitz units/mL; Crissman and Steinkamp, 1973; Jenkins and Thomas, 2007) and incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 min to release nuclei and stain DNA. Each 80 \xc2\xb5L of stained fish blood standard was analyzed by a BD AccuriTM C6 Cytometer (Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems, San Jose, California) for 10,000 nuclei at a speed lower than 300 events per second. \nTo obtain subsamples, artificially produced sturgeon larvae specimens were macerated using a pellet pestle in a microcentrifuge tube. The tube contents were filtered through a 35 \xc2\xb5m cell strainer into a 5 mL polystyrene tube using HBSS. Samples were centrifuged at 97.4 Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) for 10 min at 4 \xc2\xb0C, rinsed with 200 \xc2\xb5L HBSS, and centrifuged again at 97.4 RCF for 10 minutes at 4 \xc2\xb0C before being placed on wet ice. Contents were transferred to a microcentrifuge tube where they were centrifuged at 200 RCF for 10 min at 4 \xc2\xb0C and returned to wet ice. Supernatant was removed. The remaining 40 \xc2\xb5L were combined with an additional 40 \xc2\xb5L of working PI solution, vortexed, and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes in the dark. Each 80 \xc2\xb5L stained sample was assessed by flow cytometry with the primary threshold set to FL2-A until 10,000 events were recorded per sample.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2018</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <method>\n <methtype>Lab</methtype>\n <methdesc>Nuclei from produced larval sturgeon somatic cells were analyzed using flow cytometry to estimate genome size and assign ploidy.

All samples at 1 x 10^6 cells/mL were incubated in a propidium iodide solution to stain DNA, then analyzed by flow cytometry. Analysis software generated histograms from the experimental samples and the control standard samples. The histogram peak channels (modes) were then compared to generate a genome size estimate and additionally to visualize peaks for ploidy categorization.</methdesc>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Dettlaff, T.A.</origin>\n <origin>Dettlaff, A.A.</origin>\n <pubdate>1961</pubdate>\n <title>On relative dimensionless characteristics of the development duration in embryology</title>\n <geoform>Publication</geoform>\n <onlink>Not electronically available</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Jenkins, Jill A.</origin>\n <pubdate>2003</pubdate>\n <title>Pallid Sturgeon in the Lower Mississippi Region: Hematology and Genome Information</title>\n <geoform>Publication</geoform>\n <onlink>Not electronically available</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Tiersch, T.R.</origin>\n <origin>Chandler, R.W.</origin>\n <origin>Wachtel, S.S.</origin>\n <origin>Elias, S</origin>\n <pubdate>1989</pubdate>\n <title>Reference standards for flow cytometry and application in comparative studies of nuclear DNA content</title>\n <geoform>Publication</geoform>\n <onlink>Not electronically available</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n <methcite>\n <citeinfo>\n <origin>Wayman, W.W.</origin>\n <pubdate>2003</pubdate>\n <title>From gamete collection to database development: development of a model cryopreserved germplasm repository for aquatic species with emphasis on sturgeon: Baton Rouge, Louisiana State University</title>\n <geoform>Ph.D. dissertation</geoform>\n <onlink>Not electronically available</onlink>\n </citeinfo>\n </methcite>\n </method>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <eainfo>\n <detailed>\n <enttyp>\n <enttypl>Genome size estimates and observed ploidy</enttypl>\n <enttypd>Genome size estimates and observed ploidy of larval pallid sturgeon</enttypd>\n <enttypds>Producer Defined</enttypds>\n </enttyp>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Type</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>The type of sample analyzed by Flow Cytometry</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>LMB blood standard</edomv>\n <edomvd>Largemouth bass blood standard collected on the day of analysis</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>RBT blood standard</edomv>\n <edomvd>Rainbow trout blood standard collected on the day of analysis</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>PLS blood standard</edomv>\n <edomvd>Pallid sturgeon blood standard collected on the day of analysis</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>Pallid sturgeon larvae</edomv>\n <edomvd>Pallid sturgeon larval tissue collected on the day of analysis</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n </attr>\n <attr>\n <attrlabl>Treatment</attrlabl>\n <attrdef>Categorical description of treatments to produce pallid sturgeon larvae</attrdef>\n <attrdefs>Producer Defined</attrdefs>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>NA</edomv>\n <edomvd>The attribute is not applicable</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>C1</edomv>\n <edomvd>Pallid sturgeon specimen resulting from pallid sturgeon eggs fertilized by pallid sturgeon milt (no thermal shock treatment applied)</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>C2</edomv>\n <edomvd>Specimen resulting from pallid sturgeon eggs fertilized by paddlefish milt (no thermal shock treatment applied)</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>T1</edomv>\n <edomvd>Specimen resulting from pallid sturgeon eggs activated by ultra-violet irradiated paddlefish milt (no thermal shock treatment applied)</edomvd>\n <edomvds>Producer defined</edomvds>\n </edom>\n </attrdomv>\n <attrdomv>\n <edom>\n <edomv>T2</edomv>\n <edomvd>Specimen resulting from pallid sturgeon eggs activated by irradiated paddlefish milt and thermally shocked at 1.6 tau for eggs from each specific female (104 -

Many different methods have been used to map perceived social value. We used the Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) GIS tool, version 3.0, which uses social survey responses and various environmental variables to map social value. In the social survey distributed by the Borderlands Restoration Network (BRN) in May 2017, the respondents were asked to consider twelve different social values and map locations on a map where they perceived those social values to be. Additionally, they were asked to weigh each social value using a total of 100 points, and could assign each social value anywhere from 0 to 100 points. A combination of the points, weighted social values, and environmental variables were used within the SolVES tool. The SolVES tool then produced raster outputs that visualize the value index range for each social value assessed using the SolVES tool. This data release consists of two raster products. The first raster (SolVES multi-band raster) product consists of twelve bands, each band representing one of the twelve social values. The twelve total bands in this stacked raster are listed below, with the descriptions provided in the survey. The second raster product is a single band raster (SolVES summed raster) that shows the summed social value index for each pixel for the twelve social value rasters. Both raster products are clipped to the Sonoita Creek Watershed and represent the visual results of the SolVES tool. 1) aesthetic - ...

The abstract for the associated publication follows: "Investment in conservation and ecological restoration depends on various socioeconomic factors and the social license for these activities. Our study demonstrates a method for targeting management of ecosystem services based on social values, identified by respondents through a collection of social survey data. We applied the Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) geographic information systems (GIS)- based tool in the Sonoita Creek watershed, Arizona, to map social values across the watershed. The survey focused on how respondents engage with the landscape, including through their ranking of 12 social values (eg, recreational, economic, or aesthetic value) and their placement of points on a map to identify their associations with the landscape. Additional information was elicited regarding how respondents engaged with water and various land uses, as well as their familiarity with restoration terminology. Results show how respondents perceive benefits from the natural environment. Specifically, maps of social values on the landscape show high social value along streamlines. Life-sustaining services, biological diversity, and aesthetics were the respondents’ highest rated social values. Land surrounding National Forest and private lands had lower values than conservation-based and state-owned areas, which we associate with landscape features. Results can inform watershed management by allowing managers to consider social values when prioritizing restoration or conservation investments." ... show more ... ## Contacts Originator : [Roy E Petrakis](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59640), [Laura M Norman](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=7550), [Oliver Lysaght](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Oliver+Lysaght), [Ben C Sherrouse](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=9394), [Darius J Semmens](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=9304), [Kenneth J Bagstad](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=24439), [Richard Pritzlaff](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Richard+Pritzlaff) Contact : [Roy E Petrakis](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59640) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Point of Contact : [Roy E Petrakis](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59640) Metadata Contact : [Roy E Petrakis](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=59640) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Western Geographic Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17458) USGS Mission Area : [Land Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Land+Resources) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5d9e14d1e4b0366162926e55?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5d9e14d1e4b0366162926e55?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5d9e14d1e4b0366162926e55?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Raster\_Products\_for\_SolVES\_SocialValueProducts.xml<br>“Overview Metadata File”<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 13.64 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | MultiBand\_Raster\_SolVES\_SocialValueProducts.zip<br>“Multi-band SolVES Social Value Product Raster and Metadata” | | 549.11 KB | application/zip | | Summed\_Raster\_SolVES\_SocialValueProducts.zip<br>“Summed SolVES Social Value Product Raster and Metadata” | | 199.04 KB | application/zip | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Petrakis, R.E., Norman, L.M., Lysaght, O., Sherrouse, B.C., Semmens, D., Bagstad, K.J., Pritzlaff, R., 2020, Mapping Perceived Social Values to Support a Respondent-Defined Restoration Economy--Case Study in Southeastern Arizona, USA: Air, Soil and Water Research, https://doi.org/10.1177/1178622120913318. | [https://doi.org/10.1177/1178622120913318](https://doi.org/10.1177/1178622120913318 "https://doi.org/10.1177/1178622120913318") | ## Purpose The Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) geospatial tool can be used to map perceived social value across a landscape. The SolVES tool uses a collection of social survey data, spatial points provided by the survey respondents, and environmental spatial layers to map a value index for each of the social values considered in the original social survey.

Many different methods have been used to map perceived social value. We used the Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) GIS tool, version 3.0, which uses social survey responses and various environmental variables to map social value.\n\nIn the social survey distributed by the Borderlands Restoration Network (BRN) in May 2017, the respondents were asked to consider twelve different social values and map locations on a map where they perceived those social values to be. Additionally, they were asked to weigh each social value using a total of 100 points, and could assign each social value anywhere from 0 to 100 points. A combination of the points, weighted social values, and environmental variables were used within the SolVES tool. The SolVES tool then produced raster outputs that visualize the value index range for each social value assessed using the SolVES tool.\n\nThis data release consists of two raster products. The first raster (SolVES multi-band raster) product consists of twelve bands, each band representing one of the twelve social values. The twelve total bands in this stacked raster are listed below, with the descriptions provided in the survey. The second raster product is a single band raster (SolVES summed raster) that shows the summed social value index for each pixel for the twelve social value rasters. Both raster products are clipped to the Sonoita Creek Watershed and represent the visual results of the SolVES tool. \n\n1) aesthetic - ... I enjoy the aesthetics - scenery, sights, sounds, smells, etc. - within it,\n2) biological diversity - ... it is home to such biological diversity,\n3) cultural - ... it is a place of cultural value allowing me to pass down the knowledge, traditions, wisdom and way of life of myself and my ancestors,\n4) economic - ... it is a place of economic value where I can earn a living,\n5) future generations - ... I want future generations to be able to know, see and experience the watershed,\n6) historical - ... it has historic value, with important places and things of natural and human history,\n7) intrinsic - ... it has intrinsic value, irrespective of any instrumental value,\n8) learning - ... because we can learn a great deal within it,\n9) life sustaining - ... because it has life sustaining value through protecting and renewing clean air, soil, water etc.,\n10) recreational - ... because it provides a place for my favorite outdoor recreation activities,\n11) spiritual - ... because it has spiritual value to me in the form of sacred, religious, or spiritual or because I feel reverence and respect for nature there, and\n12) therapeutic - ... because it has therapeutic value, making me feel better physically and/or mentally.\n\nThis data is used in the associated publication in the Air, Soil and Water Research.

Our study demonstrates a method for targeting management of ecosystem services based on social values, identified by respondents through a collection of social survey data. We applied the Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) geographic information systems (GIS)- based tool in the Sonoita Creek watershed, Arizona, to map social values across the watershed. The survey focused on how respondents engage with the landscape, including through their ranking of 12 social values (eg, recreational, economic, or aesthetic value) and their placement of points on a map to identify their associations with the landscape. Additional information was elicited regarding how respondents engaged with water and various land uses, as well as their familiarity with restoration terminology. Results show how respondents perceive benefits from the natural environment. Specifically, maps of social values on the landscape show high social value along streamlines. Life-sustaining services, biological diversity, and aesthetics were the respondents\xe2\x80\x99 highest rated social values. Land surrounding National Forest and private lands had lower values than conservation-based and state-owned areas, which we associate with landscape features. Results can inform watershed management by allowing managers to consider social values when prioritizing restoration or conservation investments."</abstract>\n <purpose>The Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) geospatial tool can be used to map perceived social value across a landscape. The SolVES tool uses a collection of social survey data, spatial points provided by the survey respondents, and environmental spatial layers to map a value index for each of the social values considered in the original social survey. These spatially explicit raster products can then be used to develop a respondent-defined restoration economy, with the potential to inform management objectives based on perceived social value.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>201705</caldate>\n </sngdate>\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>-110.9795</westbc>\n <eastbc>-110.5752</eastbc>\n <northbc>31.7101</northbc>\n <southbc>31.4198</southbc>\n </bounding>\n <descgeog>World</descgeog>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>Ecosystem Services Valuation</themekey>\n <themekey>Restoration</themekey>\n <themekey>Social Values Mapping</themekey>\n <themekey>SolVES</themekey>\n <themekey>Ecosystem Services</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5d9e14d1e4b0366162926e55</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Common Geographic Areas</placekt>\n <placekey>United States</placekey>\n <placekey>Arizona</placekey>\n <placekey>Patagonia</placekey>\n <placekey>Santa Cruz County</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None.

Data sources include the USGS, NOAA, the State of Louisiana, the National Archives, USDA, and commercial mapping companies. Over 100 images were analyzed to determine the most suitable time periods and data parameters that would provide a good representation for the conditions at the area of interest. Records include written descriptions, graphic footprints, thumbnail images, aerial film negatives, film positives, and paper prints. Many of the coastal imagery records were captured at relatively large scale meaning that many separate images are required to cover a small geographic area such as East Timbalier Island. Requestors must research available records and select the best imagery frames to meet their purposes. Selected records are then submitted to a photo lab for reproduction or scanned for transformation to a digital product. Metadata requirements include the date and time of acquisition, camera and lens numbers, calibration reports if available, scale, film or sensor type, and flight direction.

The geospatial database contains two main data elements: (1) input data to the 3D framework model; (2) interpolated elevations and thicknesses of stratigraphic units as a cellular array. Input surface and subsurface data for 18 stratigraphic units have been condensed to points that define the elevation of the top of each stratigraphic unit; these point data sets serve as the digital input to the framework model. The point data are derived from geologic maps, cross sections, oil and gas wells, water wells, structure contour maps, and thickness maps. Additional input geologic features that either cut or overlay the stratigraphic units in the model are provided as separate features classes, including the location of faults, volcanic dikes, and volcanic vents. The interpolated elevations and thickness of stratigraphic units are presented as a cellular array: essentially a “flattened”, two-dimensional representation of the digital 3D geologic framework, which defines the elevation and thickness of 18 geologic units within the geologic framework model. The elevation and thickness of the geologic units are contained within a single polygon feature class ModelCells, which contains a mesh of polygons that represent model cells that have multiple attributes including XY location, elevation and thickness of each geologic unit. The elevation and thickness of the geologic units are also provided as individual raster layers in geoTIFF format. The 3D model output is described in a file as an ascii array of points: the 3D model was sampled within a 3D modeling program with a 3D array of nodes with 500-m spacing in the X and Y directions and 50-m in the Z direction. The 3D model was sampled at each node and the model unit intersected at the node saved as a coded value. This array of X,Y,Z coordinates and the coded formation values is presented as a CSV ascii file. The spatial data are accompanied by non-spatial tables that describe the sources of geologic information, a glossary of terms, a description of model units, and a Data Dictionary that duplicates the Entity and Attribute information contained in the metadata file. Spatial data are also presented as shapefiles. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Donald Sweetkind](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10155) Originator : [Donald Sweetkind](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10155), [Keely E Miltenberger](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70110), [Andre B Ritchie](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=69530), [Amy E Galanter](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=69029) Metadata Contact : [Donald Sweetkind](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=10155) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17387) USGS Mission Area : [Core Science Systems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Core+Science+Systems) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5db9dc51e4b06957974eb63c?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5db9dc51e4b06957974eb63c?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5db9dc51e4b06957974eb63c?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | RSJ\_3DModel.xml<br>“Metadata in XML format”<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 31.38 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | RSJ\_3DModel.txt<br>“Metadata in TXT format” | | 32.16 KB | text/plain | | RSJ\_3DModel\_Shapefiles.zip<br>“Spatial data in shapefile format” | | 15.94 MB | application/zip | | RSJ\_ModelUnitTops.zip<br>“3DModel Unit tops raster files” | | 15.81 MB | application/zip | | RSJ\_ModelUnitThicknesses.zip<br>“3DModel Unit thickness raster files” | | 5.24 MB | application/zip | | RSJ\_3DModel\_XYZG.zip<br>“3DModel output ascii XYZ point array” | | 42.34 MB | application/zip | | RSJ\_3DModel\_NonspatialTables.zip<br>“3DModel Nonspatial Tables” | | 53.62 KB | application/zip | | RSJ\_3DModel.gdb.zip<br>“3Dmodel and spatial data” | | 144.13 MB | application/zip | ## Purpose This digital dataset was created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Acoma and Laguna Pueblos, to be used as digital geologic input data for numerical simulation of the hydrologic system of the Rio San Jose watershed, New Mexico.

The National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site is located near Bemidji, MN, USA. A high pressure oil pipeline ruptured in 1979 releasing ~1.7 million liters of light crude oil, which sprayed over an area of ~6500 square meters and collected in topographic depressions. Approximately 75% of the spilled oil was recovered. Much of the remainder reached the water table, where it is distributed into three residual oil bodies (the north, middle, and south oil pools).

A high pressure oil pipeline ruptured in 1979 releasing ~1.7 million liters of light crude oil, which sprayed over an area of ~6500 square meters and collected in topographic depressions. Approximately 75% of the spilled oil was recovered. Much of the remainder reached the water table, where it is distributed into three residual oil bodies (the north, middle, and south oil pools). Groundwater flows east-northeast toward a small lake roughly 300 m downgradient from the original spill site. Secondary reactions of sediments with byproducts from anaerobic degradation of the oil plumes cause increases in total dissolved solids, which are transported in groundwater and raise the electrical conductivity of the groundwater above background levels, presenting a potential monitoring target for electromagnetic induction methods. This data release contains electromagnetic induction (EMI), ground penetrating radar (GPR), and specific conductance (SpC) data collected over and within the lake where it is believed high SpC groundwater associated with degradation of the oil plume is discharging. Direct measurements of lake sediment specfic conductance and temperature, as well as pore water specific conductance, are also included. The current release (ver. 2.0) contains data from 2018 and 2019. The original data release contained only data from 2018. The interested user can contact Neil Terry ([email protected]) or the USGS Hydrogeophysics Branch to obtain a copy of the original release. ## Child Items [(0)](/catalog/items?parentId=5c5dd09de4b0fe48cb32e62c) -

A high pressure oil pipeline ruptured in 1979 releasing ~1.7 million liters of light crude oil, which sprayed over an area of ~6500 square meters and collected in topographic depressions. Approximately 75% of the spilled oil was recovered. Much of the remainder reached the water table, where it is distributed into three residual oil bodies (the north, middle, and south oil pools). Groundwater flows east-northeast toward a small lake roughly 300 m downgradient from the original spill site. Secondary reactions of sediments with byproducts from anaerobic degradation of the oil plumes cause increases in total dissolved solids, which are transported in groundwater and raise the electrical conductivity of the groundwater above background levels, presenting a potential monitoring target for electromagnetic induction methods. \n\nThis data release contains electromagnetic induction (EMI), ground penetrating radar (GPR), and specific conductance (SpC) data collected over and within the lake where it is believed high SpC groundwater associated with degradation of the oil plume is discharging. Direct measurements of lake sediment specfic conductance and temperature, as well as pore water specific conductance, are also included. \n\nThe current release (ver. 2.0) contains data from 2018 and 2019. The original data release contained only data from 2018. The interested user can contact Neil Terry ([email protected]) or the USGS Hydrogeophysics Branch to obtain a copy of the original release.</abstract>\n <purpose>The waterborne electromagnetic induction data and supporting datasets collected at Bemidji were mainly used to map where an elevated specific conductance plume, associated with biodegradation of oil at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site, is discharging to surface water.</purpose>\n <supplinf>Data collection and analysis was primarily supported by the USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program. Partial funding for this project was provided by the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site, a collaborative venture of the USGS, Enbridge Energy Limited Partnership, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Beltrami County, MN.

This data release provides results of evaluations of landslide locations compared to soil classification and land cover, which involved frequency-ratio analyses (for example, Lee and Pradhan, 2006; Lee et al., 2007; He and Beighley, 2008; Lepore et al., 2012; Chalkias et al., 2014). Soil classification data were obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (2018) and land cover data were obtained from the Puerto Rico Gap Analysis Program (Gould et al., 2008). The data presented herewith were produced during a study described in Hughes, K.S., and Schulz, W.H., ####, Map depicting susceptibility to landslides triggered by intense rainfall, Puerto Rico: U.S. Geological Survey Open-file Report #####.\n\nThree files are included with this data release. Data files soil_classification_results.csv and land_cover_results.csv provide results of the analyses of landslide locations compared to soil classification and land cover, respectively. A read-me file (readme.txt) provides the information contained in this summary and additional description of data available from the data files.\n\nReferences\n\nChalkias, C., Kalogirou, S., and Ferntinou, M., 2014, Landslide susceptibility, Peloponnese Peninsula in South Greece: Journal of Maps, v. 10, no. 2, p. 211-222.\n\nGould, W.A., Alarc\xc3\xb3n, C., Fevold, B., Jim\xc3\xa9nez, M.E., Martinuzzi, S., Potts, G., Qui\xc3\xb1ones, M., Sol\xc3\xb3rzano, M., and Ventosa, E., 2008, The Puerto Rico Gap Analysis Project.

The DEM was based primarily on airborne lidar data acquired by Fugro Horizons of Rapid City, South Dakota, and made into a DEM by USGS personnel using the ArcGIS extension LP360 (QCoherent Software, 2013). Additional DEM processing to incorporate the bathymetry of study wetlands was done using survey-grade global positioning system (GPS) data collected by soundings of the bottom of each wetland. Through these steps, a continuous elevation model representing both the surrounding uplands and wetland basins was produced for the site (Mushet and Scherff 2017). ## Summary This dataset contains a bare earth digital elevation model (DEM), with a 0.5-square-meter (m2) cell size, of the Cottonwood Lake Study Area, Stutsman County, North Dakota.

The DEM was based primarily on airborne lidar data acquired by Fugro Horizons of Rapid City, South Dakota, and made into a DEM by USGS personnel using the ArcGIS extension LP360 (QCoherent Software, 2013). Wetland bathymetry for select wetlands was interpolated by splining from shoreline LiDAR points and field measured GPS points within the wetland.

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 Lakes Study Area provides a unique opportunity to assess the impact of climate variability on ecosystem health 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>2008</caldate>\n </sngdate>\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>-99.119225</westbc>\n <eastbc>-99.078782</eastbc>\n <northbc>47.111702</northbc>\n <southbc>47.087006</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus</themekt>\n <themekey>bathymetry</themekey>\n <themekey>bathymetry measurement</themekey>\n <themekey>digital elevation models</themekey>\n <themekey>LIDAR images</themekey>\n <themekey>wetland ecosystems</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>ISO 19115 Topic Categories</themekt>\n <themekey>elevation</themekey>\n <themekey>environment</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;TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS&gt;WETLANDS</themekey>\n <themekey>EARTH SCIENCE&gt;LAND SURFACE&gt;TOPOGRAPHY&gt;TERRAIN ELEVATION&gt;DIGITAL ELEVATION/TERRAIN MODEL (DEM)</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:58e54ad8e4b09da679997d75</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 </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>Authorized distribution is strongly recommended to be direct from the distributor described above or from U.S. Geological Survey ScienceBase Catalog Service (hhtps://www.sciencebase.gov).

Spatial datasets include 1) a shapefile of 130 equal-area grid cells with associated arsenic attribute data, and 2) a shapefile of 110 equal-area grid cells with associated uranium attribute data. The State of Connecticut was divided based on a set of randomized equal-area grid cells based on the method of Scott (1990); one grid was created for arsenic, with 130 grid cells, and one was created for uranium, with 110 grid cells. Arsenic and uranium attribute data associated with the equal-area grid cells include the number of wells in each grid cell, the number of wells with constituent concentrations above three selected thresholds, the fraction of wells with constituent concentrations above three selected thresholds, and the percentage of wells with constituent concentrations above three selected thresholds. The three selected thresholds for arsenic include 3, 5, and 10 micrograms per liter (ug/L), with 10 ug/L representing the maximum contaminant level (MCL) established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for human health for arsenic. The three selected thresholds for uranium include 1, 10, and 30 ug/L, with 30 ug/L representing the EPA MCL for human health for uranium. The bedrock geology data table is table 4 from Gross and others (2020) formatted so that it can easily be joined with Connecticut's bedrock geology dataset (Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, 2000) using the geologic unit abbreviation (UNIT attribute) in order to recreate figure 3 from Gross and others (2020). The data table includes counts and percentages of arsenic and uranium concentrations that exceed maximum contaminant levels from private wells in Connecticut, by geologic unit and major bedrock category, 2013-18. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Eliza L Gross](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=3969) Process Contact : [Eliza L Gross](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=3969) Originator : [Eliza L Gross](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=3969) Metadata Contact : [Eliza L Gross](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=3969) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Pennsylvania Water Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17215) USGS Mission Area : [Water Resources](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Water+Resources) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5e90900a82ce172707ec0aa1?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5e90900a82ce172707ec0aa1?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5e90900a82ce172707ec0aa1?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | As\_U\_occurrence\_in\_CT\_GW.xml<br>“As\_U\_occurrence\_in\_CT\_GW.xml data release metadata”<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 33.92 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | As\_130EqualAreaGridCells.zip<br>“As\_130EqualAreaGridCells shapefile” | | 20.49 KB | application/zip | | U\_110EqualAreaGridCells.zip<br>“U\_110EqualAreaGridCells shapefile” | | 19.12 KB | application/zip | | As\_U\_CT\_BedGeo\_Assessment.csv<br>“As\_U\_CT\_BedGeo\_Assessment.csv data table” | | 9.28 KB | text/csv | ## Purpose To make publicly available the equal-area grid cells and data table used for the interpretations presented in the larger work cited above (Gross and others, 2020). ## [Map](/catalog/item/imap/5e90900a82ce172707ec0aa1) [](/catalog/item/imap/5e90900a82ce172707ec0aa1) ## Spatial Services ScienceBase WMS ## Communities - USGS Data Release Products - USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center ## 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 - [groundwater](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dgroundwater "groundwater (groundwater, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") - [water quality](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3Dwater+quality "water quality (water quality, Theme, USGS Thesaurus)") Place - [Connecticut](/catalog/items?q=&filter=tags%3DConnecticut "Connecticut (Connecticut, Place, Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))") 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/P9KOU55K | ## Item Actions ### View Item as ...

The dissolved Connecticut town polygon dataset was divided based on a set of randomized equal-area grid cells based on the method of Scott (1990) to create two grid datasets; one grid was created for arsenic, with 130 grid cells, and one was created for uranium, with 110 grid cells. Arsenic and uranium attribute data were created and calculated according to methods associated with Belitz and others (2010). Attribute data associated with the arsenic and uranium equal-area grid cells include the number of wells in each grid cell, the number of wells with constituent concentrations above three selected thresholds, the fraction of wells with constituent concentrations above three selected thresholds, and the percentage of wells with constituent concentrations above three selected thresholds. The three selected thresholds for arsenic include 3, 5, and 10 micrograms per liter (ug/L), with 10 ug/L representing the maximum contaminant level (MCL) established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for human health for arsenic. The three selected thresholds for uranium include 1, 10, and 30 ug/L, with 30 ug/L representing the EPA MCL for human health for uranium. Separate grids were created for arsenic and uranium so that the number of grid cells could be maximized and account for the differing amounts of samples available for each constituent. There are 242 more samples and 20 more grid cells for arsenic than uranium. Each grid cell contains between 1 and 86 wells with sample concentrations for the arsenic set of 130 grid cells and between 1 and 102 wells with sample concentrations for the uranium set of 110 grid cells.</procdesc>\n <procdate>2019</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Eliza L Gross</cntper>\n <cntorg>Northeast Region: PENNSYLVANIA WATER SCI CTR</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Physical Scientist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>215 Limekiln Road</address>\n <city>New Cumberland</city>\n <state>PA</state>\n <postal>17070</postal>\n <country>US</country>\n </cntaddr>\n <cntvoice>717-730-6973</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </proccont>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The Connecticut bedrock geology dataset (Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, 2000) was dissolved according to its UNIT and FORMATION attributes. Geologic unit names are the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (2000) preferred names. An attribute was created to represent major bedrock category, and this attribute was populated according to major categories of bedrock modified from Robinson and Kapo (2003). The area of each FORMATION attribute was calculated, and this was used to calculate the percentage of the total area that each geologic formation represents. A spatial join was created with arsenic and uranium data, and attributes for these constituents were calculated for each geologic unit. Of the 156 geologic units in the State, 115 units (covering 98.1 percent of the land area) were represented by at least one water sample analyzed for arsenic and(or) uranium; therefore, geologic units representing the other 1.9 percent of the state are not included here. Attributes include sample counts and percentages of arsenic and uranium concentrations that exceed maximum contaminant levels from private wells in Connecticut. A comma separated values (CSV) file was created from the Connecticut bedrock geology dataset (Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, 2000) attribute table. This data table can be joined with the the Connecticut bedrock geology dataset (Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, 2000) using the geologic unit abbreviation (UNIT attribute) in order to recreate figure 3 from Gross and others (2020).</procdesc>\n <procdate>2020</procdate>\n <proccont>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntperp>\n <cntper>Eliza L Gross</cntper>\n <cntorg>Northeast Region: PENNSYLVANIA

We derived these rasters by calculating the average percent CaO content for each map unit in combined surficial-bedrock geologic maps. We used state geologic maps (Preliminary Integrated Geologic Map Databases for the United States, Open File Reports 2004-1355, 2005-1305, 2005-1323, 2005-1324, 2005-1325, 2005-1351, and 2006-1272), which depict surficial geology instead of bedrock when the surficial layers are sufficiently deep. For the state maps that do not incorporate surficial geology (i.e., midwestern states), we overlaid surficial geologic map units with thicknesses greater than 100 feet (from Soller et al. \[2009\]) \[...\] ## Summary This raster depicts the percentage of lithological calcium oxide (CaO) content in surface or near surface geology. We derived these rasters by calculating the average percent CaO content for each map unit in combined surficial-bedrock geologic maps. We used state geologic maps (Preliminary Integrated Geologic Map Databases for the United States, Open File Reports 2004-1355, 2005-1305, 2005-1323, 2005-1324, 2005-1325, 2005-1351, and 2006-1272), which depict surficial geology instead of bedrock when the surficial layers are sufficiently deep. For the state maps that do not incorporate surficial geology (i.e., midwestern states), we overlaid surficial geologic map units with thicknesses greater than 100 feet (from Soller et al. \[2009\]) to produce combined surficial-bedrock geologic maps that were similar to other states. We characterized geology based on the 201 different lithologies that the Geologic Map Database lists as occurring in the conterminous United States. Because some of these lithologies are known to have chemical attributes that vary widely, we created an additional 78 lithologic classes based on the common modifiers used in the geologic unit descriptions to better parse chemical variability within the lithologies (e.g., calcareous and noncalcareous sandstone). Modifiers were assigned base on descriptions of geologic formations obtained through either the Lexicon of Geologic Names of the United States or literature searches. Fifteen lithologic classes were not characterized because the class was not a specific rock type (e.g., mélange, water, and landslide). These classes were characterized as no data. We translated each state’s combined surficial-bedrock geologic maps into characteristics following the methods in Olson and Hawkins (2012) by assigning an estimate of each map unit’s percent CaO content to every occurrence of that map unit in the combined surficial-bedrock geologic map. This estimate was calculated as the average of literature or database values of the respective property for each lithological class contained within the map unit weighted by the prevalence of each lithological class within the map unit. The accompanying Excel workbook (Lith-MajorOxides.xls) contains a summary of all of the average geochemical characteristics for each lithology (“Lith Summary” tab) and tabs for each individual lithology that include the source of each record (e.g., originating from the Earth Chem Database or the specific literature reference), as well as the calculations used to determine the measure of central tendency (mean or median depending on the data). The final national raster was created by merging each of the individual state rasters.

We derived these rasters by calculating the average percent CaO content for each map unit in combined surficial-bedrock geologic maps. We used state geologic maps (Preliminary Integrated Geologic Map Databases for the United States, Open File Reports 2004-1355, 2005-1305, 2005-1323, 2005-1324, 2005-1325, 2005-1351, and 2006-1272), which depict surficial geology instead of bedrock when the surficial layers are sufficiently deep. For the state maps that do not incorporate surficial geology (i.e., midwestern states), we overlaid surficial geologic map units with thicknesses greater than 100 feet (from Soller and Reheis [2004]) to produce combined surficial-bedrock geologic maps that were similar to other states. We characterized geology based on the 201 different lithologies that the Geologic Map Database lists as occurring in the conterminous United States. Because some of these lithologies are known to have chemical attributes that vary widely, we created an additional 78 lithologic classes based on the common modifiers used in the geologic unit descriptions to better parse chemical variability within the lithologies (e.g., calcareous and noncalcareous sandstone). Modifiers were assigned base on descriptions of geologic formations obtained through either the Lexicon of Geologic Names of the United States or literature searches. Fifteen lithologic classes were not characterized because the class was not a specific rock type (e.g., m\xc3\xa9lange, water, and landslide). These classes were characterized as no data. We translated each state\xe2\x80\x99s combined surficial-bedrock geologic maps into characteristics following the methods in Olson and Hawkins (2012) by assigning an estimate of each map unit\xe2\x80\x99s percent CaO content to every occurrence of that map unit in the combined surficial-bedrock geologic map. This estimate was calculated as the average of literature or database values of the respective property for each lithological class contained within the map unit weighted by the prevalence of each lithological class within the map unit. The accompanying Excel workbook (Lith-MajorOxides.xls) contains a summary of all of the average geochemical characteristics for each lithology (\xe2\x80\x9cLith Summary\xe2\x80\x9d tab) and tabs for each individual lithology that include the source of each record (e.g., originating from the Earth Chem Database or the specific literature reference), as well as the calculations used to determine the measure of central tendency (mean or median depending on the data). The final national raster was created by merging each of the individual state rasters. Users should be cognizant that some differences will exist in chemical and physical characterizations across state lines that are caused by unreconciled differences in lithologic descriptions or mapping scales used among the underlying state source maps.</abstract>\n <purpose>These rasters were created to quantify the influence of geology on surface and critical zone processes like stream water chemistry, soil formation, ecologic processes, and species distributions by providing estimates of spatial variability in current geochemical and geophysical conditions occurring at or near the surface.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <sngdate>\n <caldate>20140723</caldate>\n </sngdate>\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>-129.567807626</westbc>\n <eastbc>-64.981807426</eastbc>\n <northbc>50.7850356</northbc>\n <southbc>22.397057588</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>None</themekt>\n <themekey>CaO</themekey>\n <themekey>Calcium</themekey>\n <themekey>Bedrock</themekey>\n <themekey>Geology</themekey>\n <themekey>Geochemistry</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:53543d10e4b0bab7f98ce7e0</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>None</placekt>\n <placekey>Conterminous U.S.</placekey>\n </place>\n </keywords>\n <accconst>None</accconst>\n <useconst>Users should be cognizant that some differences will exist in chemical and physical characterizations across state lines, caused by unreconciled differences in lithologic descriptions or mapping scales used among the underlying state source maps.</useconst>\n <ptcontac>\n <cntinfo>\n <cntorgp>\n <cntorg>Desert Research Institute</cntorg>\n <cntper>John Olson</cntper>\n </cntorgp>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>Mailing and Physical</addrtype>\n <address>755 E.

For each lithology listed in the table, we assigned modifiers to the most resolved lithology (i.e., \xe2\x80\x9cLOW_LITH\xe2\x80\x9d) as needed. \xe2\x80\x9cMajorOxide\xe2\x80\x9d modifiers include: alluvial, lacustrine, landslide, eolian/loess, non-calcareous/siliceous, calcareous, dolomitic, blueschist, and greenschist. \xe2\x80\x9cPhysical\xe2\x80\x9d modifiers include: alluvial, lacustrine, landslide, eolian/loess, till, tuff, blueschist, and greenschist. \xe2\x80\x9cNutrient\xe2\x80\x9d modifiers include: alluvial, lacustrine, landslide, eolian/loess, pre-Cambrian, carbonaceous, blueschist, and greenschist. Because the number of modifiers varied among the three attribute types, \xe2\x80\x9cMajorOxide\xe2\x80\x9d had a total of 279 lithologies, \xe2\x80\x9cPhysical\xe2\x80\x9d had a total of 251 lithologies, and \xe2\x80\x9cNutrient\xe2\x80\x9d had a total of 284 lithologies. We applied modifiers to particular map units when a modifier (or its synonym) was used in the descriptions of the geologic unit or formation in the accompanying unit table (e.g., ALunits.csv), GeoLex (http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Geolex/search), or published literature sources. Example: the map unit of the Alabama geologic map identified as Unit_Link \xe2\x80\x9cALNfp;2\xe2\x80\x9d (part of the Fort Payne Chert), is described as having dolomitic siltstones in GeoLex, and so the siltstone portion of the unit lithology is modified to \xe2\x80\x9cdolomitic-Siltstone\xe2\x80\x9d.</procdesc>\n <procdate>Unknown</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>We then added the lithology table with supplementary modifiers to a database that already contained tables of the central tendency values for geologic attributes (i.e., % CaO, % MgO, % P2O5, % SiO2, % Al2O3, % FE2O3T, % NA2O, % K2O, % S, % N, uniaxial compressive strength, and hydraulic conductivity) for all lithologies. These tables accompany this file, one for each attribute type (see Lith-MajorOxides.xls, Lith-Nutrient.xls, and Lith-Physical.xls). They are contained in the \xe2\x80\x9cLith Summary\xe2\x80\x9d sheet in each case, and the \xe2\x80\x9cReadMe\xe2\x80\x9d sheet at the beginning of each describes how centeral tendency values were calculated for each attribute, for each lithology. Using the database which linked the lithology attribute tables, we calculated the average of each attribute for each map unit, weighted by the prevalence of each lithology in each map unit using a database query. Prevalence was derived from that assigned in each lithology table contained in the state geologic maps (e.g., USGS Open File Reports 2004-1355).</procdesc>\n <procdate>Unknown</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>We then joined the query output with the weighted average for each of the 12 attributes for each map unit to the attribute table of the original state geologic map shapefile, using Unit-Link to make a table join. All 48 state maps were then appended into a single shapefile, with the District of Columbia included in the Maryland state geologic map.</procdesc>\n <procdate>Unknown</procdate>\n </procstep>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>The consolidated map was then converted from a shapefile to rasters, one raster for each of the 12 attributes.

Information in the database can be used to understand, for example, the data demands of different tools, intended users, required user skill level, what tools are applicable to different market types, the taxa and habitat types to which existing tools apply, and who to contact for more information about individual tools.</purpose>\n </descript>\n <timeperd>\n <timeinfo>\n <rngdates>\n <begdate>20161101</begdate>\n <enddate>20220401</enddate>\n </rngdates>\n </timeinfo>\n <current>publication date</current>\n </timeperd>\n <status>\n <progress>In work</progress>\n <update>Unknown</update>\n </status>\n <spdom>\n <descgeog>Continental United States</descgeog>\n <bounding>\n <westbc>-177.5391</westbc>\n <eastbc>-66.8848</eastbc>\n <northbc>71.3008</northbc>\n <southbc>24.7668</southbc>\n </bounding>\n </spdom>\n <keywords>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Thesaurus (https://www2.usgs.gov/science/about/)</themekt>\n <themekey>Biodiversity</themekey>\n <themekey>Habitat</themekey>\n <themekey>Conservation bank</themekey>\n <themekey>Habitat exchange</themekey>\n <themekey>Eco-label</themekey>\n <themekey>Payment for ecosystem services</themekey>\n <themekey>At-risk species</themekey>\n <themekey>Endangered species act</themekey>\n <themekey>Compensatory mitigation</themekey>\n <themekey>Eco-label certification</themekey>\n <themekey>Conservation</themekey>\n <themekey>Biodiversity offset</themekey>\n <themekey>Market-based conservation</themekey>\n <themekey>Biodiversity market</themekey>\n <themekey>Habitat market</themekey>\n <themekey>Functional acre</themekey>\n <themekey>Habitat quantification tool</themekey>\n <themekey>Mitigation lands</themekey>\n <themekey>Habitat assessment</themekey>\n <themekey>Natural resources</themekey>\n <themekey>Assessment methodology</themekey>\n <themekey>Threatened species</themekey>\n <themekey>Endangered species</themekey>\n <themekey>Mitigation credit</themekey>\n <themekey>Debit</themekey>\n <themekey>Credit</themekey>\n <themekey>Listed species</themekey>\n <themekey>Clean Water Act section 404</themekey>\n <themekey>Aquatic resource</themekey>\n </theme>\n <theme>\n <themekt>USGS Metadata Identifier</themekt>\n <themekey>USGS:5aa94672e4b0b1c392f14b17</themekey>\n </theme>\n <place>\n <placekt>Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)</placekt>\n <placekey>United States of America</placekey>\n <placekey>Contiguous United States</placekey>\n <placekey>United States</placekey>\n <placekey>U.S.</placekey>\n </place>\n <stratum>\n <stratkt>Geolex - U.S. Geologic Names Lexicon (https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Geolex/search)</stratkt>\n </stratum>\n <temporal>\n <tempkt>USGS Thesaurus (https://www2.usgs.gov/science/about/)</tempkt>\n </temporal>\n </keywords>\n <taxonomy>\n <keywtax>\n <taxonkt>USGS Biocomplexity Thesaurus</taxonkt>\n <taxonkey>Amphibians</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Birds</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Fishes</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Insects</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Mammals</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Plants</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Reptiles</taxonkey>\n <taxonkey>Trees</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>2018</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>Scott J Chiavacci</cntper>\n <cntorg>ENERGY &amp; MINERALS</cntorg>\n </cntperp>\n <cntpos>Ecologist</cntpos>\n <cntaddr>\n <addrtype>mailing and physical</addrtype>\n <address>Mail Stop 913, 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>703-648-4063</cntvoice>\n <cntemail>[email protected]</cntemail>\n </cntinfo>\n </ider>\n <taxonpro>There were no physical specimens to identify.

We, thus, developed a set of 35 criteria used to describe each tool. We based our construction of these criteria on (1) measurement system assessment criteria outlined in Cochran et al. (2011; Cochran, J. R., N. R. Maness, and E. Alcott. 2011. Measuring up: synchronizing biodiversity measurement systems for markets and other incentive programs. U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of Environmental Markets), (2) recommendations from persons involved in market-based conservation efforts, and (3) criteria we considered important for fully understanding a tool\xe2\x80\x99s application. If tool documents lacked the information we sought or if no documents were freely available (e.g., because the tool was still being developed), we requested details from persons involved in the development or management of tools.</methdesc>\n </method>\n <procstep>\n <procdesc>Created a database based on information gathered from quantification tool-specific documents and through conversations or requests for information from persons involved with the development, management, and/or use of tools.</procdesc>\n <procdate>20220401</procdate>\n </procstep>\n </lineage>\n </dataqual>\n <spdoinfo>\n <indspref>Geographic Names Index System (GNIS) place names (https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:1:0:::::)</indspref>\n <direct>Point</direct>\n </spdoinfo>\n <eainfo>\n <overview>\n <eaover>The authors created 2 data dictionaries to accompany this dataset.

A water-level surface was created as input to a Geoscene3D project created covering the BGMA. The water-level surface was created using 58 water-levels measured from January to June of 2017 to represent water-level conditions prior to the onset of seasonal groundwater irrigation. The distribution of water-levels provided adequate coverage to the Bazile Groundwater Management area; however, high relief areas near Verdigre Creek and Bazile Creek are not adequately covered. In an effort to create a water-level surface map that is representative of the entire BGMA, water-level contours representing 1995 water levels first were compared to discreet spring 2017 water levels. The 1995 water-levels were published by the University of Nebraska Lincoln Conservation and Survey Division. These datasets were imported into ArcGIS as shapefiles. In general, water levels from both datasets were similar; however, two water levels from shallow wells located within the glaciated part of the BGMA were removed from the spring 2017 discrete water-level measurements. The water levels measured in each of these wells were much shallower when compared to the 1995 statewide water-level map contours, most likely because they are perched water levels representative of localized conditions, rather than the regional groundwater flow system. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Christopher M Hobza](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4604) Originator : [Christopher M Hobza](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4604) Metadata Contact : [Christopher M Hobza](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=4604) 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/5e2f36e5e4b0a79317d42284?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5e2f36e5e4b0a79317d42284?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5e2f36e5e4b0a79317d42284?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | bzwl17\_m\_v1\_metadata\_orig.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 16.72 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | bzwl17\_m\_v1.asc | | 34.46 MB | application/pgp-signature | ## Related External Resources Type: Related Primary Publication | | | | --- | --- | | Hobza, C.M., and Steele, G.V., 2020, Interpretation of hydrogeologic data to support groundwater management, Bazile Groundwater Management Area, northeast Nebraska, 2019—A case demonstration of the Nebraska Geocloud: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2020–5113, 46 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205113. | [https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205113](https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205113 "https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205113") | ## Purpose This raster was created for use within the Geoscene 3D program which combines airborne electromagnetic geophysical data along with supporting information for visualization and geological modeling.

Plots were arranged in two concentric rings surrounding the central disturbed portion of the study area (e.g. the mine footprint). Final transect start and stop points were recorded in the field using a hand-held Garmin global positioning system receiver. Sites, plot boundaries, and transect locations were established between 2013 and 2015. These data are to be used for publications based on the impacts of uranium mining on the Arizona Strip. ## Contacts Point of Contact : [Michael C Duniway](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=29037) Originator : [Rebecca K Mann](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=6467), [Michael C Duniway](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=29037) Metadata Contact : [Rebecca K Mann](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=6467) Publisher : [U.S. Geological Survey](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=18139) Distributor : [U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=70157) SDC Data Owner : [Southwest Biological Science Center](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=17423) USGS Mission Area : [Ecosystems](/catalog/catalogParty/show?partyId=Ecosystems) ## Attached Files - sorting - [Metadata First](/catalog/item/get/5b2d0d0de4b040769c10b74c?files.metadataFirst=true\#attached-files-section "Sort files with metadata files first") - [Recent First](/catalog/item/get/5b2d0d0de4b040769c10b74c?files.sort=dateUploaded&files.order=desc&files.metadataFirst=false\#attached-files-section "Sort files with most recent first") - [Alphabetical](/catalog/item/get/5b2d0d0de4b040769c10b74c?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. | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Vegetation\_Cover\_Metadata.xml<br>_Original FGDC Metadata_ | View | 14.35 KB | application/fgdc+xml | | Data\_Metadata.zip | | 65.8 KB | application/zip | ## Purpose The purpose of these data are to provide a basic characterization of the vegetation communities surrounding five sites in northern Arizona, which include three existing uranium mines (in various stages of development), one location permitted for mining but not yet mined, and one unmined reference area. All mine sites (undeveloped or developed) were centered on breccia pipes containing high-grade uranium ore (Otton and Van Gosen 2010). The data will be used to characterize the vegetation community at each study location, and to assess current vegetation composition in relation to what might be expected for the ecological sites in which the study sites occur. Data from this study will facilitate change detection for plant species cover, composition, and structure. The spatial data were created to provide guidelines for collecting field data at five study sites in northern Arizona (three active uranium mines, on inactive uranium mine, and one unmined reference area). Mine locations were centered on breccia pipes containing high-grade uranium ore. A plot is a discrete polygons that was developed for surveying vegetation at each study site. The specific arrangement of plots in two concentric rings was established to enable characterization the vegetation spatial patterns around the study areas, and to potentially track change in vegetation communities over time, via future studies. Line point intercept transects were randomly located within the plots, and were used for collecting foliar and soil surface cover data; these were 25 meters in length in plots which were in the inner ring, and 50 meters in length in plots which were in the outer ring. The vegetation survey field data (see comma-separated values files included in the ZIP file) were collected to assess vegetation community characteristics at each study site location. All data in this data package could potentially be used for detecting changes to plant species cover, composition, and structure if the surveys were to be repeated at a later date. ## Rights The author(s) of these data request that data users contact them regarding intended use and to assist with understanding limitations and interpretation.

The data include plant cover (by functional group and by plant species), ground surface cover, canopy gap distribution, and species richness. They may be used to assess the ecological condition of each site and to interpret vegetation patterns within sites. Due to differences across sites in their soil and ecological attributes, as well as differences in site size and a non-standardized sampling design, it would be inappropriate to compare sites to one another, such as in terms of the effects of mining histories. The AllMines_LPITransects line vector layer includes a \xe2\x80\x98Length\xe2\x80\x99 attribute with attribute values of 25 or 50 (meters). There are 142-line features in the data layer. None of the 142-line segment attribute values in the data layer are accurately represented as 25 or 50 (meters) in the \xe2\x80\x98Length\xe2\x80\x99 attribute field. Actual line lengths calculated in ArcGIS vary from the stated attribute values in the data table. Also, at least one of the line segments extends across polygons or outside of a polygon. Lastly, several of the polygons at each site location do not have coincident lines where polygons meet, which result in overlapping polygons or gaps between polygon boundaries. Data users should carefully review all data development process steps including the Development of the AllMines_LPITransects line data layer and Development of the AllMines_Plots polygon data layer process steps to understand these spatial issues. Subsequent use of these data for spatial analysis could result in reporting errors if the data user expects accurate line lengths and polygon boundaries. These spatial errors are partially the result of using a recreational hand-held Garmin GPS receiver which have varying levels of accuracy in horizontal positions due to environmental conditions. Any users of these data should review the entire metadata record.
