Airborne electromagnetic (AEM), magnetic, and radiometric data were acquired November 2019 to March 2020 along 24,030 line-kilometers (line-km) over the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP). Data were acquired by CGG Canada Services, Ltd. with three different airborne sensors: the CGG Canada Services, Ltd. TEMPEST time-domain AEM instrument that is used to map subsurface geologic structure at depths up to 300 meters (m), depending on the subsurface resistivity; a Scintrex CS-3 cesium vapor magnetometer that detects changes in deep (hundreds of meters to kilometers) geologic structure based on variations in the magnetic properties of different formations; and a Radiation Solutions RS-500 spectrometer that detects the...
Airborne electromagnetic (AEM), magnetic, and radiometric data were acquired November 2018 to February 2019 along 16,816 line-kilometers (line-km) over the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP). Data were acquired by CGG Canada Services, Ltd. with three different helicopter-borne sensors: the CGG Canada Services, Ltd. Resolve frequency-domain AEM instrument that is used to map subsurface geologic structure at depths up to 100 meters, depending on the subsurface resistivity; a Scintrex CS-3 cesium vapor magnetometer that detects changes in deep (hundreds of meters to kilometers) geologic structure based on variations in the magnetic properties of different formations; and a Radiation Solutions RS-500 spectrometer that...
This dataset includes 800m resolution long-term average estimates of evapotranspiration (ET), quick-flow runoff, and recharge within a closed water budget over the 2000-2013 time period and annual estimates for the individual years. It also includes other supporting data associated with the publication of these estimation methods in a concurrent journal article. These estimates were developed with new empirical regressions for (1) quick-flow runoff data generated using data points from a USGS-developed hydrograph separation program (PART) run on streamflow data from 1434 gaged watersheds, as a function of surficial geology type (USGS), precipitation (PRISM), and soil hydraulic conductivity (STATSGO); and (2) long-term...
This data release has three components for each of the eight stream lengths: 1) a geospatial dataset of the processed data; 2) tabular data of the processed waterborne resistivity profiling data and associated water-quality data; 3) tabular data of the raw waterborne resistivity data and associated water-quality data. In fresh water aquifers, the geoelectric resistivity of earth materials commonly has a positive correlation with hydraulic conductivity (Faye and Smith, 1994). Throughout 2017, continuous resistivity profiling data were collected, as a proxy for streambed hydraulic conductivity, along reaches of eight streams in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A total of...

FDEM Processing The frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) data were downloaded from the GEM-2 instrument and aggregated into a single data file. The data were manually despiked and smoothed to remove negative values and the effects of metallic objects. A drift correction was applied by finding the average in-phase and average quadrature values for each frequency transmitted each time the base station was occupied. This average value was then used to calculate a linear trend of the data in time and the linear trend was subtracted from the data set. After the data were drift corrected, the data was leveled by calculating the arithmetic mean of the survey data subtracting that value from the dataset to level...

Data from an optical turbidity sensor deployed at the stream station were recorded at 15-minute intervals by a data logger and uploaded every hour to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) database (Anderson, 2005; Wagner, 2006). Suspended-sediment samples were collected using an ISCO automatic sampler (suction pump), equal width increments or grab sampling techniques (Edwards, 1999). The use of an optical sensor to continuously monitor turbidity provided an accurate estimate of sediment fluctuations without the collection and analysis costs associated with intensive sampling (Office of Surface Water Memorandum 2016.07; Rasmussen et al., 2009). Turbidity was used as a surrogate for suspended-sediment concentration (SSC),...

The dataset entitled “imputedsalt_RookB” holds data structures to be relayed to statistical modeling of salinity in near-coastal environments of the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The content therein is created by the ‘covardr2formodel.R’ script that represents terminal decisions on variable setup and transformations. The design ideal is that the content of this directory would be copied to some path of “input” within a model building repository. The table in this directory would be especially suitable for both (1) formal data releases supporting as needed interpretive publications and (2) simultaneous long-term storage as copies within a model building repository in some specific terminal decisions (variable transforms...

In January 2020, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) began work on the Interstate 26 (I 26) highway widening project that involves a bridge crossing over the French Broad River (FBR) near Asheville, North Carolina. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the NCDOT, conducted a streambank light detection and ranging (lidar) survey of the streambanks of the French Broad River in November of 2019, approximately two months before construction began. The survey extended from 300 meters (m) upstream to 700 m downstream from the bridge. Two georeferenced lidar scans were collected; one of the right-descending bank and one of the left-descending bank. Three-dimensional points of the streambank...

The dataset folder entitled “MatLa” holds data structures consisting of statistical predictions of daily salinity time series for the Matagorda-Lavaca Bay (MatLa) group, generated from the makESTUSAL software repository described by Asquith and others (2023b). The statistical methods included multiple methods of machine learning, which produced the daily salinity prediction and attendant credible uncertainties included in the data release. The geographic scope of the MatLa group includes the predictions for seven locations defined using agency code and salinity site abbreviations.

The dataset folder entitled “SanAn” holds data structures consisting of statistical predictions of daily salinity time series for the San Antonio Bay (SanAn) group, generated from the makESTUSAL software repository described by Asquith and others (2023b). The statistical methods included multiple methods of machine learning, which produced the daily salinity prediction and attendant credible uncertainties included in the data release. The geographic scope of the SanAn group includes the predictions for five locations defined using agency code and salinity site abbreviations.

The data comprise the initial release of landscape disturbance polygons and lines (sites, pipelines and roads) related to natural gas and oil drilling developed prior to the end of 2013 in the 10-county region along the New York - Pennsylvania border. The study area includes the New York Counties of Allegany, Broome, Chemung, Steuben and Tioga, and the Pennsylvania counties of Bradford, McKean, Potter, Susquehanna, and Tioga. The data were collected using high-resolution aerial imagery from the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) for each available year between 2004 - 2013 within a geographic information system (GIS), along with additional geospatial data on oil and gas drilling permits and locations, administrative...
Groundwater is heavily used for public supply and industrial uses in the Baton Rouge area. Lowered water levels resulting from groundwater withdrawals have induced the movement of saltwater towards wells in East Baton Rouge and West Baton Rouge Parishes. Saltwater intrusion has the potential to affect water supply infrastructure, reduce water availability for certain uses, and increase treatment costs. To document current conditions, samples were collected at 161 wells screened in 10 aquifers of the Southern Hills regional aquifer system during November 2021 through February 2022. This dataset includes the results of this sampling effort and information on the sampled wells. Additionally, a table of additional chloride...
