Coastal Land-Cover and Feature Datasets Derived From Landsat Satellite Imagery, Sabine Pass to Bay Coquette, Louisiana Coastal Land-Cover and Feature Datasets Derived From Landsat Satellite Imagery, Sabine Pass to Bay Coquette, Louisiana
This data release serves as an archive of coastal land-cover and feature datasets derived from Landsat satellite imagery from Sabine Pass to Bay Coquette, Louisiana (LA). A total of 179 images acquired between 2013 and 2024 were analyzed. Water, bare earth (sand), and vegetated land-cover classes were mapped using (1) successive thresholding and masking of the modified normalized...
Geospatial data for impounded sediments in Pahranagat Wash above Arrow Canyon Dam, in northern Moapa Valley, Nevada Geospatial data for impounded sediments in Pahranagat Wash above Arrow Canyon Dam, in northern Moapa Valley, Nevada
This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists of vector and raster geospatial datasets used to determine the volume of sediment in Pahranagat Wash, impounded above Arrow Canyon Dam, in northern Moapa Valley, Nevada. The data release includes: 1) a raster dataset of a 1-meter resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the study area created using a lidar (light detection and ranging)...
Surface and shallow subsurface thermal maturity data for the Arkoma basin, Ouachita Mountains, and Ozark dome region of the U.S.A. Surface and shallow subsurface thermal maturity data for the Arkoma basin, Ouachita Mountains, and Ozark dome region of the U.S.A.
Thermal maturity data (vitrinite reflectance (VRo)) from the Arkoma basin, Ouachita Mountains, and Ozark dome region of the U.S. Data were originally collected in graduate student theses and dissertations, and in a research consortia ca. 1980-1990 under the advisement and leadership of David Houseknecht during his time at University of Missouri. Location data were originally in Township...
Above-water hyperspectral field spectroscopy and associated water quality measurements in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, collected in 2024 and 2025 Above-water hyperspectral field spectroscopy and associated water quality measurements in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, collected in 2024 and 2025
Broad-area, high-resolution, boat-based water quality mapping surveys of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) were conducted in June and September of 2024. Each survey was comprised of one day of high-resolution mapping. The regions covered included Discovery Bay and Old and Middle Rivers in the South Delta Tidal Transition Zone. On each day, the route of the mapping survey was...
Estimated crop irrigation water use withdrawals in Big Chino Groundwater Subbasin of the Verde River Groundwater Basin, Arizona for 2024 Estimated crop irrigation water use withdrawals in Big Chino Groundwater Subbasin of the Verde River Groundwater Basin, Arizona for 2024
Observations of irrigated agricultural land within the Big Chino Groundwater Subbasin of the Verde River Groundwater Basin in Arizona. Crops were verified in situ once in 2024 on Aug 14th; based on digitized field boundaries. Field boundaries were digitized from U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Imagery Program County Mosaic 2023 imagery for Arizona and supplemented...
Early to Mid-Pliocene Sedimentological Data from the Yorktown Formation, near Jamestown, Virginia Early to Mid-Pliocene Sedimentological Data from the Yorktown Formation, near Jamestown, Virginia
Data consists of grain size distribution by weight in grams of samples collected from the Yorktown Formation from various localities along the James River near Smithfield and Williamsburg, Virginia. In total, data from 34 samples are included in this dataset.
Soil depth layer for the Greater Everglades Soil depth layer for the Greater Everglades
The Everglades Vulnerability Analysis (EVA) is a series of connected, modular Bayesian networks that predict the response of several Everglades indicators of ecosystem health to changes in hydrology, salinity, and the landscape. We created a soil depth layer for use in the sawgrass peat module by using universal kriging to estimate soil depth at a 400-meter resolution for individual...
Cosmogenic Nuclide, Thermally Transferred Optically Stimulated Luminescence, and Paleomagnetic data from cave sediments from Fitton Cave, northern Arkansas Cosmogenic Nuclide, Thermally Transferred Optically Stimulated Luminescence, and Paleomagnetic data from cave sediments from Fitton Cave, northern Arkansas
This data release contains tabular data (comma-separated-value format) obtained for analyses of cosmogenic nuclides, thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence, and paleomagnetism that were collected to constrain the age of sediments within Fitton Cave, Buffalo National River, north-central Arkansas.
Catch and mark-recapture data to estimate abundance of humpback chub Gila cypha in western Grand Canyon from 2010-2024 Catch and mark-recapture data to estimate abundance of humpback chub Gila cypha in western Grand Canyon from 2010-2024
This dataset describes the catch of humpback chub (Gila cypha) in baited hoop nets from humpback chub aggregations monitoring trips that occurred 2010-2024. Additionally, this data set includes tables that describe the number of captures and recaptures for repeat visits (i.e., mark-recapture) as well as categorical habitat scores from two experts assigned to the Colorado River in western...
