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...
This data release consists of historical borehole geophysical data collected by various entities and digitized by the U.S. Geological Survey to characterize the physical properties of the subsurface in and near the Mississippi Alluvial Plain from Louisiana to Missouri. The geophysical log data were collected by different Federal, state, and local agencies throughout the area and were obtained from three sources: Hart and Clark (2008), the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) (Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, 2019), and the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (LADNR). The log data generally consisted of either scanned .jpg or .tif images of the original log. The data were digitized...
As part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Availability and Use Science Program study of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP), a shapefile representing seven generalized regions of the MAP extent as defined by Painter and Westerman (2018) was compiled. The generalized regions provide a framework for analysis, visualization, and regional comparisons of local data within the MAP. Regions north of the Red River were based on those described by Ackerman (1996). The Grand Prairie region includes the area north and east of the Arkansas River and south and west of the White River within the MAP. The Cache region includes the area north and east of the White River and the area generally west of Crowley’s Ridge,...
This content represents a map displaying the vector data corresponding to the processed datasets for the waterborne resistivity profiling surveys of streams in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The .sd file is an ESRI service definition file containing all the data (capatible for use in ESRI ArcDesktop). This file bundle contains 8 shapefiles, each representing an individual stream. These are all displayed in the map service definition. Users can also download the .sd file and extract the content (using 7zip, winzip, etc.) on their local machine to obtain all the stand-alone shapefiles.

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM), magnetic, and radiometric data were acquired in late February to early March 2018 along 2,364 line-kilometers in the Shellmound, Mississippi study area. 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 detects...

Shallow soil characteristics were mapped near Shellmound, Mississippi, using the DualEM 421 electromagnetic sensor in October 2018. Data were acquired by towing the DualEM sensor on a wheeled cart behind an ATV, with the sensor at a height of 0.432 m above the ground surface. Approximately 175 line-kilometers of data were acquired over an area of nearly four square kilometers, with 25 m separation between survey lines. Data were manually edited for noise sources such as powerlines or other buried structures, and averaged to regular output soundings every 5 m along survey lines. The processed data were inverted to recover models of electrical resistivity structure as a function of depth at each sounding location...

The Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) Project contains several geologic units which act as important aquifers. We collected several sets of time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) data consisting of two higher-density surveys and six regional-scale transects. The higher density surveys were collected to compare and contrast to other geophysical data not included in this data release, such as airborne electromagnetic, magnetic resonance sounding, and towed time-domain electromagnetic surveys . The transects, which were collected over the span of three years, cross the MAP study area from east-to-west, with about 100 km line spacing, and cover an area of nearly 100,000 square-kilometer. Each transect spans a distance of...

Towed and floating transient electromagnetic (tTEM and FloaTEM) data were acquired within the Mississippi Alluvial plain during March and October 2018. During the land-based tTEM and water-borne FloaTEM surveys, approximately 51 total line-kilometers were collected using the tTEM system near Shellmound and Vicksburg, and approximately 274 line kilometers were collected using the FloaTEM system on Eutah Bend Lake, Little Tallahatchie River, Sunflower River, and the Ouachita River. Data were collected by members of the U.S. Geological Survey, Hydrogeophysics Branch and Lower Mississippi Gulf Water Science Center offices, and the HydroGeophysics Group at Aarhus University in Denmark. tTEM and FloaTEM data at these...
The Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (“alluvial aquifer”) is one of the most extensively developed aquifers in the United States. The alluvial aquifer is present at the land surface in parts of southeastern Missouri, northeastern Louisiana, western Mississippi, western Tennessee and Kentucky near the Mississippi River, and throughout eastern Arkansas. Historical (1940–2006) and recent (2019–20) aquifer-test datasets were compiled to model transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of the alluvial aquifer from recent (2018–19) airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey data. This data release contains the aquifer-test and geophysical data along with computer codes written in Matlab version R2014a syntax used to...

Water-borne towed transient electromagnetic method, commonly referred to as FloaTEM, was acquired along a single survey track on the Ouachita River during October 2018. During the survey, 56.35 line-kilometers were collected near Columbia, Louisiana study area. Data were collected by members of the U.S. Geological Survey, Hydrogeophysics Branch, and Lower-Mississippi Gulf Science Center and the Aarhus University Hydrogeophysics Group. FloaTEM data acquired along the approximately 56.4 line kilometers of the Ouachita River in Caldwell Parish, in Louisiana,were collected to characterize the subsurface resistivity structure in support of a U.S. Geological Survey groundwater investigation of the Mississippi Alluvial...
This data release consists of two different datasets, waterborne resistivity profiling data and water quality data collected during profiling. In fresh water aquifers, the geoelectric resistivity of earth materials commonly has a positive correlation with hydraulic conductivity. In June 2016, continuous resistivity profiling data were collected, as a proxy for streambed hydraulic conductivity, along selected reaches of three rivers in the Delta region of Mississippi. A total of 180 kilometers (km) of continuous resistivity profiles were collected during a two-week span, with 50 km on the Quiver River, 70 km on the Sunflower River, and 60 km on the Tallahatchie River. These river reaches were selected due to groundwater...

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...
