Monitoring changes in Landsat thermal features in urban and non-urban interfaces from 1986 to 2023 in two international urban centers: Implications for climate and global issues

Rapid urbanization is reshaping thermal environments worldwide, with the strongest impacts occurring at the interface between urban and non-urban areas. Impervious surfaces, as key indicators of urban expansion, are critical for monitoring urban growth and assessing surface urban heat island (SUHI) effects. Land use and land cover change (LULCC) provides an essential link between urban dynamics and their environmental and societal consequences. Here, we integrated the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Climate Global Issues (CGI) Land Cover Product with Landsat thermal time-series to investigate SUHI evolution in two contrasting metropolitan regions: Wuhan, China, and Brasília, Brazil. Using data spanning 1986–2023, we analyzed the relationships between land cover, Landsat-based land surface temperature (LST), and SUHI intensity, and identified persistent thermal hotspots. Results demonstrate that the land cover data utilized increases the accuracy of impervious surface mapping along urban–rural gradients. Average SUHI intensities were 3.4 °C in Wuhan and 3.3 °C in Brasília, with statistically significant warming trends of 0.04 °C/year and 0.01 °C/year, respectively. Maximum temperature proved to be a robust indicator of SUHI intensification, capturing long-term upward trends. Our findings highlight the important role of urban land cover dynamics in shaping temporal SUHI variability and hotspot emergence. This prototype framework demonstrates the scientific and policy value of combining long-term land cover monitoring information with satellite thermal monitoring to quantify and track SUHI at city scale, supporting sustainable urban planning and climate adaptation strategies.

Base-flow sampling to enhance understanding of the groundwater flow component of nitrogen loading in small watersheds draining into Long Island Sound

Excessive nitrogen discharge is a major concern for the Long Island Sound. Programs have been implemented to reduce point sources of nitrogen to the sound, but little is known about the nonpoint sources. This study aims to better understand the current groundwater contributions of nitrogen from nonpoint sources in the Long Island Sound watershed. During the spring and summer of 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, collected water-quality samples to analyze nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), chloride, and bromide at 45 stations in the Long Island Sound watershed in Connecticut, New York, and Rhode Island. The stations were in small drainage watersheds (5 to 30 square kilometers) in the southern part of the Long Island Sound watershed. During two separate synoptic sampling events, water-quality samples and instantaneous streamflow measurements were collected under base-flow conditions (where the streamflow is dominated by groundwater inputs rather than overland flow or runoff flow). One sampling event was in the nongrowing season (April 24–25, 2022), and the other was in the growing season (June 30–July 1, 2022). To calculate instantaneous nitrogen loads and yields, streamflow was measured at the time of sample collection. Nitrogen concentrations, loads, and yields varied among sampling stations and by season. Total filtered nitrogen concentrations were generally lower in the nongrowing season (from less than 0.14 to 1.9 milligrams per liter) than in the growing season (from less than 0.23 to 3.0 milligrams per liter). Nitrate plus nitrite concentrations showed little variation between the nongrowing and growing seasons. Unfiltered ammonia plus organic nitrogen concentrations were generally lower in the nongrowing season (from less than 0.07 to 0.83 milligram per liter) than in the growing season (from 0.11 to 0.98 milligram per liter). In contrast, total filtered and unfiltered nitrogen loads and yields were higher in the nongrowing season than during the growing season, likely because streamflows were higher during the nongrowing season. Total unfiltered nitrogen yields during the nongrowing season ranged from less than 0.15 to 5.0 kilograms per square kilometer per day. Total unfiltered nitrogen yields during the growing season ranged from less than 0.12 to 2.5 kilograms per square kilometer per day. Total filtered nitrogen yields during the nongrowing season ranged from less than 0.13 to 5.2 kilograms per square kilometer per day. Total filtered nitrogen yields during the growing season ranged from less than 0.06 to 2.5 kilograms per square kilometer per day.

Navigating uncertainty and competing objectives: Spring chinook salmon recovery in the upper Willamette river

Globally, anadromous fish populations are threatened with extinction due to multiple factors, including river impoundments that block migration, widespread alteration of physical habitat, temperature, and flow regimes, commercial and recreational harvest, changes in biological communities, and long-term climate trends. In this synthesis, we describe how physical and biological factors, policy and law, and public resource allocation affect management of spring-run Chinook Salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) in the Upper Willamette River (UWR), Oregon, USA. Efforts to restore salmon populations often involve trade-offs, for example, water management decisions must account for flood control, agricultural and municipal water use, and management of other species. UWR Chinook Salmon recovery efforts are also governed by multiple laws, policies, and action agencies that in some cases have incongruent objectives. Competing and conflicting objectives, combined with uncertainty regarding the outcomes of proposed management actions, create significant challenges for decision makers. Resource limitations, regulatory constraints, and incongruent objectives have created challenges for managers in the UWR, but opportunities exist for improved adaptive management and collaboration, which could build trust and engagement among stakeholders and ultimately support the successful implementation of decision tools. A suite of decision support tools that have been used in the Willamette River basin and elsewhere across the range of Pacific salmon have the potential to enhance decision processes. These tools can be effective when decision makers and stakeholders commit to long-term, collaborative utilization of the tools for decision making, and when available resources and regulatory environments are conducive to implementation and adaptive refinement of both the decision-support tools and management plans. The general biological and institutional principles discussed for UWR Chinook Salmon in this work apply more generally to populations of anadromous fishes across their range, especially to populations in highly regulated river systems.

Earth Mapping Resources Initiative protocols—Sampling hard-rock mine waste and perpetual mine water sources

Supporting the overarching goal to evaluate critical minerals nationwide, the mine waste characterization effort in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Mapping Resources Initiative has created a series of protocols to standardize sampling carried out under this effort by the participating State geological surveys and their cooperators. The protocols are based on published, reviewed methods that can be deployed in the field. The protocols include (1) collecting and processing composite samples of mine and mill waste, including tailings, waste rock, gangue, heap leach piles, ore stockpiles, slag, or other mineralized and processed materials and (2) collecting and preserving water samples from perpetual or long-term mine water sources. The protocols also specify information to document on field sheets and detail the collection of geospatial data. The analytical methods used by the USGS and USGS contract laboratories are described in this report, including the data delivery pathway for USGS-derived data.

Estimating habitat availability for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead (O. mykiss) to inform reintroduction planning in the middle Snake River basin, USA

Anadromous fishes have been blocked from the middle Snake River basin since the construction of flood control, irrigation, and hydroelectric projects during the 19 th and 20 th centuries, culminating with the construction of Hells Canyon Dam (river kilometer [rkm] 398) in 1967. Seven large watersheds in the blocked area of the basin are under consideration for Pacific salmon reintroduction. The primary objective of this study was to identify and characterize potential reintroduction sites with high-quality rearing and spawning habitat for Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) and steelhead ( O. mykiss ) upstream of the Hells Canyon Complex in Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada, USA. We created and tested habitat models to predict rearing presence/absence, rearing abundance, and spawning presence/absence using channel morphology, hydrology, and stream temperature variables obtained from regional peer-reviewed datasets. Habitat models were trained with salmonid presence and abundance records collected in the lower Snake River basin (downstream of Hells Canyon Dam), where anadromous fish can currently access, from 1993 to 2011. Model performance was tested with set-aside data comprised of randomly selected reaches and independent environmental DNA data. An index model was created in the middle Snake River basin for each species by combining results from the habitat models. Modeling covariates differed by species and life stage and included different combinations of August stream temperature, summer flow, channel slope, and quadratic terms for temperature and slope. The habitat models predicted high versus low Chinook salmon and steelhead probability and abundance with 66% to 85% accuracy depending on species and life stage. The index models predicted a total of 2,887 km of Chinook salmon habitat and 2,434 km of steelhead habitat in the blocked area. The three basins in the blocked area with the greatest amount of predicted habitat were the Powder River, South Fork Payette River, and North Fork Payette River for Chinook salmon, and the Powder River, South Fork Boise River, and South Fork Payette River for steelhead. The modeling approach presented here is complementary to other planning efforts for Chinook salmon and steelhead reintroduction in the blocked area of the Snake River basin, and similar approaches may be useful for reintroduction planning in other systems.

Pesticides in surface water from three agricultural basins in south-central Georgia, 1993-97

Twenty-two of 43 pesticides analyzed were detected in 128 water samples collected from the Tucsawhatchee Creek, the Little River, and the Withlacoochee River. These streams drain agricultural basins in south-central Georgia and were sampled from March 1993 through June 1995. Herbicides were detected more frequently than insecticides. The most frequently detected herbicides were atrazine and metolachlor and the most frequently detected insecticide was carbaryl. Pesticide concentrations in the three streams were low and did not exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards. The maximum pesticide concentration was 2.6 mg/L (micrograms per liter) for propargite, a miticide detected in only one sample. The maximum concentrations of the remaining 21 pesticides were less than 0.25 mg/L. The median concentrations were equal to the method detection limit for all pesticides except atrazine (0.008 mg/L) and metolachlor (0.012 mg/L). The ratio of herbicide detections to nondetections was largest in the planting season, smaller in the harvest season and smallest in the fallow season for the three basins. The same pattern existed for the insecticide ratios in the Little River and the Withlacoochee River. Pairwise correlations between concentrations of atrazine and metolachlor, and four parameters (discharge, and concentrations of dissolved organic carbon, suspended organic carbon, and suspended sediment) were evaluated for each stream. The strongest correlations existed between metolachlor and mean daily discharge, and metolachlor and sediment in the Withlacoochee River. The only significant correlation for the Little River was between atrazine and suspended sediment.

Streamflow, water quality, and constituent loads and yields, Scituate Reservoir drainage area, Rhode Island, water year 2023

As part of a long-term cooperative program to monitor water quality within the Scituate Reservoir drainage area, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Providence Water (formerly the Providence Water Supply Board), collected streamflow and water-quality data in tributaries to the Scituate Reservoir, Rhode Island. Streamflow and concentrations of chloride and sodium estimated from records of specific conductance for 16 tributaries were used to calculate loads of chloride and sodium during water year 2023 (October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023). Water-quality samples were collected by Providence Water at 38 sampling stations on tributaries to the Scituate Reservoir during water year 2023. These water-quality data are summarized by using values of central tendency and are used, in combination with measured (or estimated) streamflows, to calculate loads and yields of selected water-quality constituents for water year 2023. Annual mean streamflows for monitoring stations in this study ranged from 0.47 to 34.4 cubic feet per second during water year 2023. At the 16 continuous-record streamgages, tributaries transported about 3,000 metric tons of chloride and 1,900 metric tons of sodium to the Scituate Reservoir; annual chloride yields for the tributaries ranged from 19 to 200 metric tons per square mile, and annual sodium yields ranged from 13 to 120 metric tons per square mile. At the stations where water-quality samples were collected by Providence Water, the medians of the median daily loads were 65,000 million colony forming units per day for coliform bacteria, 870 million colony forming units per day for Escherichia coli , 200 kilograms per day for chloride, 8.2 grams per day as nitrogen for nitrite, 520 grams per day as nitrogen for nitrate, and 300 grams per day as orthophosphate for phosphate. The medians of the median yields were 25,000 million colony forming units per day per square mile for coliform bacteria, 600 million colony forming units per day per square mile for Escherichia coli , 65 kilograms per day per square mile for chloride, 4.6 grams per day per square mile as nitrogen for nitrite, 180 grams per day per square mile as nitrogen for nitrate, and 180 grams per day per square mile as orthophosphate for phosphate.

Interplay between tectonics and submarine mass transport deposits in Cortes Basin: New high-resolution geophysics in the Outer California Borderland

The Outer California Borderland (OCB) is an active transform plate boundary offshore Southern California, where the relationship between faulting and submarine mass transport deposits (MTDs) remains poorly understood. Onshore paleoseismic data provide high-resolution earthquake records, whereas marine geophysical data capture longer-term histories. Offshore fault systems pose hazards to infrastructure and dense coastal populations, particularly when linked to submarine landslides. We present new high-resolution geophysical data set (cruise SR2303), including bathymetric and CHIRP sub-bottom data integrated with legacy seismic reflection data and chronostratigraphic constraints from ODP Site 1012 to examine Quaternary MTD recurrence and tectonic controls in the Cortes Basin, OCB. Bathymetry shows deformational features, including slide scarps and previously unmapped fault segments with evidence of Holocene activity. CHIRP profiles reveal 10 stacked MTDs in the East Cortes Basin and 8 in the West Cortes Basin, spanning ∼752 ka with an average recurrence of ∼83.6 ± 1 ka. Acoustic imaging shows 7 MTD intervals coinciding with fault offset increments and fault growth suggesting earthquake-triggered mass wasting. A strong association between MTD occurrences and sea-level extremes also supports glacio-eustatic contribution to slope failure. Stratigraphic correlations suggest quasi-synchronous MTDs across the eastern and western areas, likely triggered by larger eathquakes in the Quaternary. Although the identified MTDs occur relatively far from the Southern California coast, they still pose a potential tsunamigenic hazard requiring further assessment. Moreover, if linked to earthquakes along major strike-slip faults, for example, the Ferrelo fault, the MTDs may provide valuable proxies to constrain rupture scenarios and fault connectivity within the understudied OCB.

Smectite-rich horizons in Inceptisols trigger shallow landslides in tropical granitic terranes

Puerto Rico was affected by >70,000 landslides in the wake of 2017 Hurricane Maria, and landslide prevalence was especially high in the Utuado region in the Cordillera Central. Landslide density was highest where soil parent material is granodiorite; landslide slip surfaces tended to be shallow (<60 cm), and often were mobilized rapidly and with long runout distances. This study combines field observations with soil mineralogy (bulk and clay fractions), soil geochemistry (bulk fraction), and soil strength as determined by field cone penetrometer testing (CPT) to test the hypothesis that clay-rich subsoil horizons function as slip planes when water-logged. Soil pits were excavated to depths of ∼200 cm in Ultisols on an undulating plateau and to ∼100 cm in Inceptisols on steep slopes (36-43 o ) that flank the plateau and cone penetrometer tests (CPT) were done within 2 m of the soil pit. Six pits were located adjacent to scarps from previous landslides, enabling analysis of soil profiles downward through extrapolated slip surfaces. Results from X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicate that soils are heterogeneous, often with subsoil horizons enriched in clay minerals and immobile elements (Al, Fe, Ti). Inceptisols on steep slopes often contain smectite-rich horizons at 30–60 cm depth that appear to function as slip surfaces; in other Inceptisols, such horizons are not present and landslide susceptibility is potentially lower. In Ultisols, soil mineralogy is dominated by kaolinite with minor halloysite, and increased kaolinite content at soil depths ≥80 cm at some sites suggests potential slip surfaces enhancing probability of landslides. The origin of clay-rich horizons appears to be (1) fractures in granodiorite that facilitate water flow and leaching, accelerating mineral dissolution during early weathering stages, and (2) smectite-rich buried soils under permeable colluvium likely deposited by a prior mass wasting event. Where clay-rich layers occur beneath more-permeable horizons, rapid infiltration then absorption of water in clay-rich subsoil horizons causes decreased shear strength and increased landslide susceptibility.

Geochemical disequilibrium at the brittle-ductile transition

We investigate the microtextural, microchemical, and isotopic effects of late-stage ductile deformation in quartzite mylonites and kyanite–muscovite–quartz veins from the Raft River shear zone (Utah). Quartz microstructures record pervasive disequilibrium, expressed by unannealed features including undulatory extinction, deformation lamellae, and poorly defined fabrics, typical of waning deformation in shear zones. Microchemical disequilibrium is best preserved in kyanite quartzites, where CL-zoned kyanite records repeated fractures, overgrowth, and mineral precipitation, and in muscovite from muscovite-poor quartzite mylonites that shows minor-element zoning consistent with syn-deformational overgrowth on detrital cores. In contrast, muscovite from muscovite-rich kyanite quartzites exhibits minimal chemical zoning. These microchemical variations correlate with 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age systematics. Chemically zoned muscovite preserves variable single-step ages, including ∼150 Ma ages, reflecting retention of detrital cores. In contrast, syndeformational muscovite consistently yields Miocene ages, indicating recrystallization and new growth below argon closure temperatures that reset inherited isotopic signatures. Similar trends are observed in quartzite mylonites, where increasing quartz recrystallization and stronger crystallographic preferred orientations occur toward deeper structural levels. Together, these observations indicate increasing retrograde deformation and recrystallization with depth in the Raft River shear zone and demonstrate that strain-driven recrystallization exerts a first-order control on muscovite ages. We suggest that apparent thermochronologic gradients in retrograde shear zones may reflect recrystallization gradients rather than temperature gradients. Where cooling limits the thermal driving force for recrystallization, isotopic relics are preserved, and local deformation and fluid availability control re-equilibration. Consequently, isotopic disequilibrium—particularly in the 40 Ar/ 39 Ar system—may be the rule rather than the exception of retrograde tectonic environments.

High-pass corner frequency selection and review tool for use in ground-motion processing

Raw seismological waveform data contain noise from the instrument’s surroundings and the instrument itself that can dominate recordings at low and high frequencies. To use these data in ground‐motion modeling, the effects of noise on the signals must be reduced and the signals’ usable frequency range identified. We present automated procedures to efficiently reduce low‐frequency noise that are implemented in the software package gmprocess. These procedures check for, and as needed remove, low‐frequency artifacts in the displacement record using polynomial fits, which can be used in combination with existing signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR)‐based corner‐frequency selection procedures. The automated selections are then efficiently verified and refined using a graphical user interface (GUI) that plots relevant ground‐motion time series and spectra and tracks modifications to signal processing parameters. We demonstrate these procedures using recordings from the 2020 M 5.1 Sparta, North Carolina, and the 2013 M 4.7 southern Ontario earthquakes. Data processed with the SNR‐only and polynomial criteria for these events contain displacement artifacts in 37% and 23% of processed traces, respectively. Records with remaining artifacts are corrected manually using the GUI. These processing steps illustrate the workflow for efficient data processing with quality control.

Water resources related to breccia pipe uranium mining in the Grand Canyon region

Introduction In the arid Grand Canyon region, water resources are limited to primarily the Colorado River and associated tributaries and to groundwater in the form of seeps and springs. Groundwater resources in the region supply water for human use and support diverse and rich ecosystems in the locations immediately surrounding the seeps and springs. Throughout the region, uranium resources occur and may interact with water resources in both mined and unmined uranium deposits. There is a need to better understand groundwater in the region and the effects from uranium mining in order to better manage the limited water resources in the area. This Fact Sheet summarizes results from U.S. Geological Survey studies that were conducted on this topic from 2012 to 2023.
