Open Science: Modeling NEON Open Data with USGS Open Source Software
In the age of open science, ever-growing datasets and tools are freely accessible to users. This unprecedented resource pool enables on-demand analysis without significant time and cost barriers such as fieldwork and proprietary software. Here we present an example of a groundwater/surface-water flow model created using solely open science sources. Model inputs are derived from National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) continuous water table elevation data. NEON is a continental-scale observatory that provides long-term ecological open data. There are 34 NEON aquatic sites consisting of lakes, wadeable streams, and large rivers, where continuous high frequency sensor data is integrated with physical, organismal, and biogeochemical observational sampling. Of these sites, 30 are equipped with instrumented shallow groundwater wells. MODFLOW, an open-source hydrologic modeling software developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was used to simulate the response of groundwater levels to variations in head-dependent flux boundaries using the Time-Variant Specified Head (CDH) and River (RIV) packages. Results are plotted with ModelMuse, a free USGS graphical user interface. This simple model illustrates how NEON surface and groundwater elevation data can be used to analyze flow paths through integrating open science data sources.
