The St. Louis area has experienced minor earthquake damage at least 12 times in the past 205 years. The St. Louis metropolitan area, with a population of about 2.8 million, faces earthquake hazard from large earthquakes in the New Madrid and Wabash Valley seismic zones, as well as a closer region of diffuse historical and prehistoric seismicity to its south and east. Also, low attenuation of seism

Floodplain surficial soil samples (10 cm depth) were collected from 18 streams in the urbanized Piedmont region of northern Virginia, representing a chronosequence of time (1-10 yrs.) since stream restoration as well as unrestored and reference streams. The samples were analyzed for total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) storage, whereas CO2 mineralization potential and e

We have set up a meteorological station at a small cinder field in Sunset Crater National Monument, Arizona, that records temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, solar radiation, and precipitation. Each hour, a BlazeVideo camera records a small portion of the cinder field adjacent to the meteorological station. Subsurface temperatures are recorded at cinder

This data release contains self-potential (SP), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and water temperature and conductivity data measured during a geophysical survey at the Krause Springs property in Spicewood, Texas. The geophysical survey was completed February 4–15, 2019, over approximately 3.1 acres on the western side of the property adjacent to the main visitor parking lot and entrance f

This dataset records Cladophora and associated benthic algae, collectively Cladophora community or submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), biomass collected during the growing season of 2021 at stations located along the U.S. shoreline of Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. It also records a variety of supporting data collected at Cladophora measurement stations. These supporting data include: -

This dataset represents the network-adjusted results of relative- and absolute-gravity surveys. Relative-gravity surveys were carried out using a ZLS Coporation Burris relative-gravity meter. The effect of solid Earth tides and ocean loading were removed from the data. Instrument drift was removed by evaluating gravity change during repeated measurements at one or more base stations, or between ab

Two dams on the Elwha River, Washington State, USA trapped over 20 million m3 of sediment, reducing downstream sediment fluxes and contributing to erosion of the river's coastal delta. The removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams between 2011 and 2014 induced massive increases in river sediment supply and provided an unprecedented opportunity to examine the response of a delta system to changes

These data were compiled to assess the risk of erosion to archaeological site preservation. The objective of the study is to evaluate changes in archaeological site condition over time as a function of two geomorphology based conceptual models that evaluate the extent to which sites are potentially affected by 1) erosion from gullies, and 2) wind-driven (aeolian) supply of river-sourced sand, resp

This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists multiple datasets used to simulate the extents of flood inundation along the Muddy River, near Moapa, Nevada. Flood-inundation extents equal the maximum area of flood inundation and were estimated using a coupled one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic model. The modeled extents represent six annual exceedance probabilities simulate

This dataset consists of summary data for potential landscape sources of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These summary items include facilities from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) PFAS Analytics Tools, which were pulled from its Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO), areas affected by fires (burned and urban burned areas) from Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (

Geologic structure and isopach maps were constructed by interpreting over 19,890 trackline kilometers of co-located multichannel boomer, sparker and chirp seismic reflection profiles from the continental shelf of the Delmarva Peninsula, including Maryland and Virginia state waters. In this region, Brothers and others (2020) interpret 12 seismic units and 11 regional unconformities. They interpret

Uncrewed aerial system (UAS) flights were conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey at an edge-of-field site located north of Medina River Natural Area near San Antonio, Texas on August 14, 2019, and July 8, 2022, to support efforts aimed at estimating edge-of-field erosion and potential sediment loading into the Medina River near San Antonio. Data provided here include imagery obtained during the f
