Airborne electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric surveys of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and Chicot Aquifer System, March 2018 and May - August 2021

Airborne geophysical surveys were acquired in March 2018 and May 25 through August 7, 2021 using a helicopter-based platform. These surveys were collected along 10,706 line-kilometers (line-km) within selected areas of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) and the Chicot Aquifer System in the southeastern United States. The airborne geophysical surveys include electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric sensor data collected in rivers and levees throughout the two areas to evaluate groundwater and surface-water interaction, riverine ecosystems, and infrastructure. This data release contains three child items that provide: Minimally processed (raw) data supplied by the airborne contractor (Xcalibur Multiphysics)...

Bathymetric and supporting data for Beaver Lake near Rogers, Arkansas, 2018

Beaver Lake was constructed in 1966 on the White River in the northwest corner of Arkansas for flood control, hydroelectric power, public water supply, and recreation. The surface area of Beaver Lake is about 27,900 acres and approximately 449 miles of shoreline are at the conservation pool level (1,120 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988). Sedimentation in reservoirs can result in reduced water storage capacity and a reduction in usable aquatic habitat. Therefore, accurate and up-to-date estimates of reservoir water capacity are important for managing pool levels, power generation, water supply, recreation, and downstream aquatic habitat. Many of the lakes operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers...

Airborne electromagnetic surveys of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and Chicot Aquifer System, March 2018 and May - August 2021: Resistivity Models

The final inverted resistivity models within the “Airborne electromagnetic surveys of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and Chicot Aquifer System, March 2018 and May - August 2021: Resistivity Models” child item are broken up according to the three main objectives of these surveys: River surveys along the thalweg of major rivers with the MAP and the Chicot Aquifer extents; Levee surveys along the Mississippi and Arkansas rivers from Cairo, IL to Baton Rouge, LA and northwest from the confluence of the Mississippi and Arkansas rivers to Pine Bluff, AR; and gridded products mainly focused on gravel bars within the Mississippi River from Helena, MS to the confluence with the Arkansas River. The data in this child item...

Waterborne Resistivity Inverted Models, Mississippi Alluvial Plain, 2016-2018

This data release consists of two .csv files of inverted models of electrical resistivity created from the processed resistivity data in the accompanying two data releases: (Miller and Others, 2018) and (2018 Raw and Processed, in progress). During 2016, 17, and 18, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted continuous resistivity profiling along 15 rivers or lakes in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain of Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri to characterize streambed hydraulic conductivity values. These techniques characterize the near surface geomorphology of the streambed that controls the recharge to the alluvial aquifer. These data can be used to map changes in the lithology of the streambed and identify areas...
