Grain size and charcoal abundance in sediment samples from Los Padres reservoir, Carmel River watershed, California
Sediment samples were collected from Los Padres reservoir in the Carmel River watershed, central California coast, between July 11 and 17, 2017, using a CME-45 barge-mounted drill rig, to characterize sedimentary properties in the reservoir deposits following the Soberanes Fire of 2016 and high river flows in winter 2017. Borehole samples were recovered using direct push coring with an Osterberg piston sampler operated by Taber Drilling Company of Sacramento, California, and overseen by AECOM, Inc. Sediment was recovered using a split-barrel sampler and a rotary drill bit was added to the sampler where needed to penetrate coarse sediment. Samples from four boreholes are described in this data release: three sampled at multiple sediment depths (B2, B3, and B7) and a fourth (B4) from which only the topmost sample is included. Each borehole was drilled to the depth of apparent pre-dam alluvium or bedrock. Alternate sections were described and sampled; every second section was discarded without examination. Sediment samples were analyzed for grain size and charcoal abundance at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) laboratories in Santa Cruz, California. This data set complements data analyzed and presented by AECOM, Inc., for the Los Padres Alternatives Study Technical Memorandum prepared for the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District in October 2017 (https://www.mpwmd.net/asd/board/committees/watersupply/2018/20180123/02/Item-2-Exh-C.pdf). The USGS gratefully acknowledges collaboration with B. Kozlowicz of AECOM in the collection of these data.

Sediment grain size at river outlets along the California coast
공공데이터포털
Fluvial sediment samples were collected from the lowermost reaches of 21 coastal watersheds in California, in order to characterize surficial grain size of river sediment from deposits that appeared to be recent based on field context. Samples were collected using a trowel to sample the uppermost 10 cm of sediment. Sampled locations included river-deposited sediment, upstream of tidal influence. Samples excluded coarse gravel and cobble grain sizes, if present. The watersheds selected for sampling have relatively little urban land use and no other recent data available on their fluvial sediment grain size. Sediment samples were analyzed for grain size at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) laboratory in Santa Cruz, California. The USGS gratefully acknowledges sampling permission granted by California State Parks.

Sediment grain-size data from the Klamath estuary, California
공공데이터포털
This data release includes grain-size measurements of sediment samples collected from the substrate surface and uppermost 10 cm of sediment deposits in the Klamath estuary, northern California. Samples were collected using a BMH-60 bed-material sampler deployed from a boat, or by hand trowel from subaerial or shallow-water (less than 0.5 m water depth) regions along the estuary margins and side channels. Sediment grain size was analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) laboratory in Santa Cruz, Calif. Particles coarser than 2 mm were sieved using a RO-TAP sieve shaker, and particles finer than 2 mm were analyzed with a Coulter laser particle-size analyzer (LPSA), after organic matter had been removed using a hydrogen peroxide solution. At some submerged locations where sampling was attempted, no sample was recovered. The field crew observed this occurring in places where the substrate was too coarse-grained to be collected by the bed-material sampler (cobbles), where large particles were embedded in finer (poorly sorted) matrix, and where sediment was covered by algal mats thick enough to prevent the sampler from accessing the sedimentary substrate. Locations where sampling was attempted but no sample was recovered are indicated in the ‘Comments’ column within the data spreadsheet. The sediment samples were collected under a Cultural Resources Management Permit issued by the Yurok Tribe, whose support the USGS acknowledges gratefully.

Grain-size data for sediment samples collected in Whiskeytown Lake, northern California, in 2018 and 2019
공공데이터포털
This data release includes grain-size data from sediment samples collected in submerged and subaerial regions in Whiskeytown Lake and around the reservoir margin. Sediment samples were collected using a sampler deployed from a boat or by hand from locations exposed above the water surface. Sediment grain size was analyzed at the USGS laboratory in Santa Cruz, Calif. The full data set is reported here, but users should be aware that due to instrument error the data between approximately grain sizes from 0.040 to 0.063 mm may be incorrect and have unknown degrees of uncertainty. Proportions of gravel, sand, silt, and ratios among these size fractions, are considered accurate.

Sediment grain size data from samples collected offshore Oceanside, southern California during field activity 2017-686-FA from 2017-10-23 to 2017-10-31
공공데이터포털
This section of the data release contains grain-size analysis of twenty-six seafloor surface grab samples that were collected aboard the R/V Snavely in 2017 on U.S. Geological Survey cruise 2017-686-FA offshore Oceanside, southern California. The samples were collected at strategic locations along the same transects as seismic-reflection lines oriented to assess sand and gravel resources in Federal and State waters for potential use in future beach nourishment projects along stretches of the coast where critical erosion hotspots have been identified. Samples were collected at 23 locations using a Van Veen sediment sampler along 4 shore-perpendicular transects spaced 5 to 9 km apart, aligned with previously collected seismic profile lines, at depths ranging from about 20 to 80 m. One sample on the outer shelf (BSS-06) was collected to evaluate an area of suspected sand occurrence. Two duplicate samples were collected at one location (BSS-08) in order to evaluate local sample variability.
