This point shapefile contains information on one static reference location collected using three single-baseline online positioning user service – static (OPUS-S) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) surveys in Soldier Meadows, Black Rock Desert - High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area, Nevada, August 13-15, 2019. Surveys were completed at one temporary benchmark, TBM1. Data were collected by a Leica Viva GS14 GNSS. Processing of static observations was done using the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) online positioning user system (OPUS).

This point shapefile contains information on 476 locations surveyed using a single-base real-time kinematic (RTK) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in Soldier Meadows, Black Rock Desert - High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area, Nevada, August 14-15, 2019. The points were collected at 30-second intervals at control points and hydraulic structures and 5-second intervals at topographic points throughout the study area. The points were used as vertical precision verification for lidar data, editing the triangulated irregular network in locations of dense vegetation and surface water, locating streamflow measurement sites, creating hydraulic structures in the hydraulic model, and determining the elevation of possible high-water marks in the natural channel.

This point shapefile contains positional data for seven static reference locations collected at the Muddy River, near Moapa, Nevada, March 29 to August 9, 2019. Positional data were collected at seven temporary benchmarks using 14 single-baseline online positioning user service – static (OPUS-S) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) surveys. Data were collected using Leica Viva GS14 or TopCon GR-3 GNSS receivers. Processing of static observations was done using the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) online positioning user system (OPUS).

This portion of the data release presents topographic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements acquired during the UAS survey of the debris flow at South Fork Campground in Sequoia National Park. The data contain the locations of the temporary ground control points (GCPs) used for the structure-from-motion (SfM) processing, as well as topographic measurements collected using a backpack-mounted GNSS rover. For the GCPs, 23 temporary points consisting of a combination of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and "X" marks placed on the ground using temporary chalk were distributed throughout the survey area. For each GCP measurement the GPS receiver was placed on a fixed-height tripod and set to occupy the GCP for a minimum occupation time of one minute. For the topographic data acquisition, a GNSS rover was mounted to a backpack and used to collect continuous 1-second data on bare-ground surfaces of the debris flow site that were accessible on foot. The GNSS measurements were made using a real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS, with corrections from a GPS base station located on a temporary benchmark ("SFKW") established on the foot of the debris flow. The approximate base station position was initially derived using an autonomous position. The final coordinates for SFKW were derived using a seven-hour static occupation, submitted to the National Geodetic Survey Online User Positioning Service (OPUS-S). The resulting OPUS solution conforms to the quality standards for a USGS Level II single-base survey. After the survey was completed, the RTK data were adjusted using the final SFKW position using the Trimble Business Center software package. The GNSS data are presented in a comma-delimited text file.

A digital elevation model represented by a triangulated irregular network (TIN) was developed for proposed channel restoration at Soldier Meadows, Black Rock Desert - High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area, Nevada. The TIN was derived from lidar (light imaging, detection, and ranging) of quality level 1 collected in April 2018 by Quantum Spatial (Quantum Spatial Inc, 2018) for the Bureau of Land Management. The DEM also includes points surveyed in August 13-16, 2019, using a real-time kinematic (RTK) global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The lidar data are not included in this USGS publication due to BLM data-release restrictions for this dataset.
