San Francisco Bay, California is considered a mercury-impaired watershed. Elevated concentrations of mercury are found in water and sediment as well as fish and estuarine birds. Sources of mercury to the watershed since 1845 include sediment-associated mercury from mercury mining, mercury losses from gold amalgamation activities in mines of the Sierra Nevada, aerial deposition of mercury from global and regional emissions to air, and the direct discharge of mercury to Bay waters associated with the urbanization and industrialization of the estuary. We assessed historical trends in mercury bioaccumulation by measuring mercury concentrations in feathers of the endangered California Ridgway’s rail (formerly California...
These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release.

This data release provides access to an aeromagnetic survey over a part of northern California, an area that includes the cities of Portola, California, and Reno, Nevada. The survey extends across the northern part of the Sierra Nevada from Honey Lake in the north to Lake Tahoe in the south and over parts of the Sierra Nevada foothills. These data were acquired between March 3 and May 3, 2021, by EDCON-PRJ, Inc., working under contract to the U.S. Geological Survey. The nominal flying height was based on a best fit, pre-planned, three-dimensional draped surface targeted at 305 m above terrain, subject to aircraft climb and descent limitations. Steep terrain in parts of the survey area required significant departures...

This data release presents point data associated with the geologic and geophysical maps of the Sierra Nevada Digital Earth Science Atlas led by the California Geological Survey and U.S. Geological Survey. Data include principal fact information for new gravity measurements collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 2012 to 2023 and for existing gravity measurements compiled from 21 sources. Nearly 29,000 gravity measurements were processed to complete Bouguer and isostatic gravity anomalies to provide information on crustal structure, such as depth extent of plutons and arc terranes, and geometry of Cenozoic basins developed along the margins of the Sierra Nevada. Density and magnetic property measurements were...

From the 2015 water year, the U.S. Geological Survey has collected data to develop a surrogate model for estimating real-time fine sediment particles concentration and loads at Upper Truckee River at South Lake Tahoe, CA (USGS site number: 10336610). Fine sediment particles represent a size range from 0.5-16.0 microns in suspended sediment and are the leading contributor of clarity reduction in Lake Tahoe. Model archive summaries document fine sediment particle surrogate models for the real-time calculation of fine sediment particles concentration at the Upper Truckee River at South Lake Tahoe, California. The methods used to produce the surrogate models follow U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) protocols as referenced...

This USGS data release presents Model Archive Summaries (MAS) and tabular calibration data used to develop surrogate regressions to estimate fine sediment particles flowing into Lake Tahoe. Fine sediment particles in the size range of 0.5 to 16.0 micrometers (μm) represent the primary size range of suspended sediment responsible for clarity reduction in Lake Tahoe. Models will be used to create estimates of tributary fine sediment particles flowing into Lake Tahoe and to better understand the linkage of annual sediment loads and lake clarity. Surrogate regression models were developed for site-specific monitoring locations within the Lake Tahoe Interagency Monitoring Program (LTIMP) and archived individually as...
