Raman data supporting deep syntectonic burial of the Anthracite belt region, Pennsylvania Raman data supporting deep syntectonic burial of the Anthracite belt region, Pennsylvania
Included in this data release are eight files: one metadata file, 6 comma separated value (.csv) datafiles and one data dictionary file defining the entities and attributes that constitute this dataset. The 6 datafiles support the publication, Deep syntectonic burial of the Anthracite belt, Eastern Pennsylvania, by providing in csv format the data from Figure 11 – Representative Raman...
Land and water use for energy production and extraction in the Colorado River Basin Land and water use for energy production and extraction in the Colorado River Basin
This data release contains data associated with the journal article “Land and water use for energy in the Colorado River Basin”. The area of interest is defined by the counties intersecting with the Colorado River Basin (HUC-7 and HUC-8) and a shapefile outlining these counties has been included. The data release includes 4 child items and metadata files that provide descriptions of the...
Geospatial database for the geomorphic map of the Umatilla River corridor, Oregon Geospatial database for the geomorphic map of the Umatilla River corridor, Oregon
This map portrays the distribution of landforms along the Umatilla River in northeastern Oregon and covers a corridor 127 kilometers (km) long from the confluence of the Umatilla River with the Columbia River upstream to Meacham Creek. The map encompasses the valley bottom and extends about 1 km up the adjoining hillslopes. Map data are intended to support water quality and fisheries...
Water chemistry data for samples collected at groundwater and surface-water sites in the San Ardo Oil Field study area, March 2019–May 2021, Monterey County, California Water chemistry data for samples collected at groundwater and surface-water sites in the San Ardo Oil Field study area, March 2019–May 2021, Monterey County, California
The California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) initiated the Oil and Gas Regional Monitoring Program (RMP) to assess effects of oil and gas development on groundwater designated for any beneficial use. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is the technical lead in conducting the RMP through the California Oil, Gas, and Groundwater (COGG) Program, working in...
Digital elevation model of the lava dome in the crater of Mount St. Helens, August 17, 1983 Digital elevation model of the lava dome in the crater of Mount St. Helens, August 17, 1983
The catastrophic, explosive eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, on May 18, 1980, is the most well-known eruption of the volcano. Less well known is the May 18 eruption marked the beginning of a period of eruptive activity that lasted through 1986. Beginning in October 1980, a series of 17 dome-building episodes added millions of cubic meters of lava to the crater floor. Most of the...
Simulated daily soil moisture and water balance 1979-2020 for drought assessments in seven watersheds in the northwestern USA Simulated daily soil moisture and water balance 1979-2020 for drought assessments in seven watersheds in the northwestern USA
The objectives for these data are to characterize seasonal and spatial patterns of drought propagation across a set of seven watersheds in the western United States. These watersheds vary in aridity, contain extensive elevation gradients, and support river systems with long-term gage data. We used a soil water balance model SOILWAT2 with soil physical structure from POLARIS and daily...
Bedrock geochemistry, Dickinson County, Michigan Bedrock geochemistry, Dickinson County, Michigan
The southern margin of the Archean Superior Province in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan records Paleoproterozoic tectonic events involved in the ~2.1 Ga rifting of the proposed Archean supercraton Superia and the subsequent assembly of Laurentia. Within a small area of Dickinson County, Michigan, there are many distinctive geologic units with confounding structural and...
Estimated Streamflow Using Satellite Data for Selected Rivers in Alaska Estimated Streamflow Using Satellite Data for Selected Rivers in Alaska
This dataset provides estimated Remote Sensing Streamflow (RSQ) data at selected river reaches in Alaska. Reach-specific relations between satellite-derived water-surface elevation data and dynamic surface water extent data were used with a modified form of the Manning's streamflow equation to estimate streamflows. The streamflow estimates were used to create rating tables that define...
Monitoring Changes in Surface Elevation Using Deep Surface Elevation Table and Marker Horizon Data at the Nisqually River Delta, Washington Monitoring Changes in Surface Elevation Using Deep Surface Elevation Table and Marker Horizon Data at the Nisqually River Delta, Washington
Surface Elevation Tables and Marker Horizon (collectively SET-MH) datasets provide a unique opportunity to evaluate tidal marsh accretion rates compared with current and projected sea-level rise. SET is a tool that allows for accurate and repeatable measurements of marsh elevation, while Marker Horizon allows for the measurement of sediment that has deposited on top of the feldspar...
Earth Observation Assessment (EOA) 2023 Tableau Dashboard Data Earth Observation Assessment (EOA) 2023 Tableau Dashboard Data
The Earth Observation Assessment (EOA) is a Congressionally-directed periodic evaluation of the nation's civil Earth observation portfolio. This portfolio comprises both remote and in-situ sensors, operated by both the public and the private sector. The Earth Observation Assessment measures the effectiveness of the civil Earth observation system in meeting federal government objectives...
Shoreline data for Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, 2004 to 2021 Shoreline data for Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, 2004 to 2021
Beach shoreline positions were derived from 221 approximately monthly beach topography surveys from 2004 through 2021 at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, California. Shoreline shapefiles for local Mean High Water (1.619m NAVD88) and local Mean Sea Level (0.975m NAVD88) were created from each survey.
Community level traits of invaded plant communities in the United States Community level traits of invaded plant communities in the United States
Data were compiled from large trait databases for functional above and belowground traits (e.g. specific leaf area, specific root length, etc) of plants in communities across the United States along with information about the degree to which invasive species dominate those communities.
