Data

These data are structure from motion products from UAS providing high topographical and true-color imagery detail over a subregion within the Los Planes Watershed in La Paz, Mexico. This is part of an ongoing research partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (Aridland Water Harvesting Study), U.S. Water Partnership (USWP), and Innovaciones Alumbra to monitor eco-hydrological feedbacks...

To enhance hurricane coastal impact models, we developed 1-m land cover maps for the coastal portions of states along the Gulf of America and Atlantic coasts using recent (2018–2020) high-resolution orthoimagery and moderate-resolution land cover maps. Our first step was to develop land cover maps with three classes (vegetated, unvegetated, water) using recently acquired 1-m orthoimagery...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Cottage Grove Lake, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 29-meter ([m]; 95-foot [ft]) tall Cottage Grove Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in December 2023...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Cougar Reservoir, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 158-meter ([m]; 518-foot [ft]) tall Cougar Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in December 2023 when...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Dorena Lake, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 44-meter ([m]; 144-foot [ft]) tall Dorena Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in December 2023 when water...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) deployed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Fern Ridge Lake, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 13-m tall Fern Ridge Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) during winter 2023 when water levels were at or...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Hills Creek Lake, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 92-meter ([m]; 302-foot [ft]) tall Hills Creek Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) on December 20, 2023...

In November of 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey acquired high-resolution P- and S-wave seismic data at two seismic recording stations in Tulare and Fresno counties, California: Berkeley Digital Seismic Network BK.LIND and BK.KARE. We deployed 60 DTCC SmartSolo 3-component nodal seismometers (“nodes”) at 2-m intervals along a linear array at each seismic recording station. The nodes...

In February 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a high-resolution seismic survey across the West Napa Fault zone at Hendry Winery in Napa, California (Fig. 1). Geophones were deployed every 3 to 5 meters along a southwest-northeast trend to create an approximately 400-m-long linear array. Data were recorded by two Geometrics Stratavisor NZ-60TM seismographs. Both P-wave and S-wave...

This dataset includes high-resolution topography data and orthomosaics used to monitor surface change in two stream sites in Red Clover Valley, Plumas County, California. The first site is a segment of lower Dixie Creek (LDC), which accumulates flows from Dixie Mountain and drains into Red Clover Creek. The second site is an intermittent stream referred to as Subchannel B (SCB), which...

This data release contains geospatial datasets that identify thermal zones across multiple reaches of four tributaries to Lake Ontario: St. Regis River, Salmon River, South Sandy Creek, and Sandy Creek. High-resolution uncrewed aircraft system (UAS)-based optical and thermal infrared imagery and ground level field observations are included. Shapefiles for each tributary reach identify...

Monitoring population connectivity to inform management is especially important in regions at the very edges of wilderness where native fauna and flora face habitat reduction, degradation, and fragmentation. One such region is the Ivanpah valley along the California/Nevada border, where development (i.e., solar facilities, recreational utility vehicle use) continues to encroach on the...
