2022 Central California Travel Study

# 2022 Central California Travel Study The 2022 Central California Travel Study collected demographic and travel pattern information to better understand household travel behavior in the state’s San Joaquin Valley region. ## Data Collection Agency The Fresno Council of Governments conducted the household travel study in collaboration with metropolitan planning organizations in Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tulare counties in California. ## Survey Methodology The two-part study consisted of a survey and a travel diary. The survey gathered data on household demographic composition and typical travel behaviors. The travel diary gathered individual travel data during a specified travel period for all members of a given household. ## Travel Diary Methods Households with smartphones were encouraged to complete their travel diaries using the rMove smartphone app for up to seven consecutive days. Households without smartphones or those unwilling to participate via smartphone completed their travel diaries online (using the web-version of rMove) or by calling the survey call center. These households reported travel for one day (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday). ## Recruitment Sampling Methods The majority of the recruitment was conducted via address-based sampling, a type of probability sampling, with a focus on reaching county-level targets in collaboration with metropolitan planning organizations in the region. Supplemental sampling methods, primarily non-probability, were employed during all waves of data collection to improve survey representation. The supplemental sample included targeted outreach to hard-to-survey populations via transit rider email lists; local housing authorities; Nichols Research, a California-based market research firm; and the Ipsos™ KnowledgePanel, an online random probability panel. See the documentation for more information about sampling and weighting. ## Survey Records, Data, and Documentation In total, 7,406 households completed 19,084 surveys representing 150,012 trips across 42,567 person-days.

AmeriFlux AmeriFlux CR-SoC Soltis Center

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site CR-SoC Soltis Center. Site Description - The Texas A&M Soltis Center for Research and Education is located in San Juan de Peñas Blancas, San Ramón, Costa Rica. In 2009, Charles W. "Bill" and Wanda Soltis donated a new facility to the university and granted it a long-term lease on the adjacent 250 acres of land. The site hosts both primary and secondary growth rainforest, the later of which was selectively logged between the 1950's and the 1990's. It is best classified as a lower montane forest, located in the transitional area between the upper and lower montane cloud forests and the lowland rainforests. Temperatures average 23°C with 4200 mm/yr of rainfall; a short drier period typically occurs between January and April. Estimates suggest that the site hosts more than 2000 species of vascular plants, with dominant vegetation types including plants in the Sapotaceae, Moracea, and Malvaceae families.

Prospective Seal Unit Spatial Extent Database for U.S. Sedimentary Basins

The Prospective Seal Unit Spatial Extent Database for U.S. Sedimentary Basins contains a series of spatial datasets representing spatial extents of publicly available data for caprock and seal rock units within the Appalachian Basin, Denver-Julesburg Basin, Great Valley Basin (Sacramento and San Joaquin Basins), Illinois Basin, Michigan Basin, San Juan Basin, U.S. Gulf Coast Basin, and Williston Basin. The database is designed to support carbon storage feasibility and resources assessment for carbon transport and storage (CTS) projects while displaying the spatial extent of prospective seal units and provide a guide to the original data source. This database leverages publicly available data resources from authoritative sources (e.g. U.S. Geological Survey, State Geologic Surveys, and published reports), and aims to help guide users to understand the seal unit's spatial coverage and data gaps from the regional to sub-basin/field scale. The database is organized by seal unit/formation, including the spatial extent for data found to be available for the seal unit. The various datasets represented include spatial extents of the lithologic formation, depth to top structural contour maps, and thickness/isopach maps. Included in this submission are the following resources: 1. Geodatabase/Dataset: “prospective-seal-unit-extents-2025.gdb” 2. ReadMe: “readme-prospective-seal-unit-spatial-extent-dataset-2025.pdf” 3. Data Catalog: “prospective-seal-unit-spatial-extents-data-catalog-2025.xlsx” 4. Data Sources Key: “data-source.csv” Please see NETL disclaimers here: https://netl.doe.gov/home/disclaimer

Effects of Void Morphology on Detonation Initiation of PBX 9502

Accurate predictive modeling of high explosives in abnormal conditions, such as a fire, is critical to personnel safety. Modeling depends heavily on precise physical characterization of the high explosive in question. The aim of this thesis was to characterize the detonation response to shock and the microstructure at high-temperature (250°C) of PBX 9502 and use these data to attempt to model these results using a new reactive burn model called SURF (Scaled Uniform Reactive Front). In order to characterize the shock response of PBX 9502 at high-temperature a 1D gas gun experiment was designed and executed that provided shock to detonation transition data. These data were then used to do a preliminary calibration of SURF for PBX 9502 at 250°C. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was employed to characterize the void morphology of PBX 9502 as a function of temperature. This was done in order to feed a modified version of SURF called physically informed - SURF (π-SURF) which uses the void size and quantity distribution data as measured by SANS along with the deflagration and detonation characteristics of a high explosive to inform the SURF model. The π-SURF model was then used to model both ambient and high-temperature PBX 9502 SDT response and the results were compared to the physically measured results. It was found that π-SURF works in ambient cases. At high-temperature, however, it was determined that not enough information is known about hot spot formation to use the π-SURF model for high-temperature scenarios.

Herpetological Survey for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Site 300

Pursuant to Subcontract Number B644180 between ECORP Consulting, Inc. (ECORP) and Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC. (LLNS) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), ECORP conducted focused herpetological surveys at LLNL’s Experimental Test Site (Site 300) during the spring of 2021. The results of these surveys will provide supporting information for a Site-wide Environmental Impact Statement (SWEIS). The herpetological surveys targeted three special-status reptile species including Blainville’s (coast) Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma blainvillii), Northern California Legless Lizard (Anniella pulchra), and San Joaquin Coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum ruddocki) on the approximately 6,800-acre Site 300 in Alameda and San Joaquin counties. Special-status amphibian species were not targets of this survey effort.
