New U-Pb Geochronology and Geochemistry of Paleozoic Metaigneous Rocks from Western Yukon and Eastern Alaska New U-Pb Geochronology and Geochemistry of Paleozoic Metaigneous Rocks from Western Yukon and Eastern Alaska

This data release contains three tables of U-Pb zircon isotopic data generated from analyses of 40 metaplutonic and metavolcanic rocks from the Yukon-Tanana Upland of western Yukon and east-central Alaska and one sample from southern Yukon. One of the tables also reports U-Pb data for two titanite analyses for one of the samples. U-Pb zircon ages from analyzed samples range from 363.5...

Firn Density and Stratigraphy Observations from USGS Benchmark Glaciers Firn Density and Stratigraphy Observations from USGS Benchmark Glaciers

This dataset contains observations of snow and firn density and stratigraphy from Site EC on Wolverine Glacier. Site EC is located in the accumulation zone on the northwest flank of the upper glacier at 1350m. Cores were recovered using a FELICS corer to approximately 25m depth at the end of the accumulation season and the end of ablation season starting in 2016. Additional cores were...

Macroinvertebrates from Streams and Springs in the 1002 Region of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, 2021 Macroinvertebrates from Streams and Springs in the 1002 Region of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, 2021

This dataset includes tables related to macroinvertebrate collections in streams and springs of the 1002 region of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska. Macroinvertebrates were collected using kicknets and driftnets in April and August with the goal of comparing populations to those sampled from the same water bodies by the USGS in the 1970s.

R script for email delivery of sea ice imagery and charts to users with limited bandwidth R script for email delivery of sea ice imagery and charts to users with limited bandwidth

This software package represents an effort to enable access of sea ice charts and imagery in support of daily logistics planning where internet bandwidth and geoprocessing abilities are limited. The script acquires, processes and delivers these data in a format that may be manipulated by openly available virtual globe software, be visualized by software commonly installed on all smart...

Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bear Blood Based Analyte Data, 1983-2018 Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bear Blood Based Analyte Data, 1983-2018

This dataset is one table with data collected and derived from polar bears sampled in Alaska's southern Beaufort Sea during 1983-2018. Collected data includes demographic and morphometric information. Derived data includes blood-based analyte values determined from whole blood and serum samples. Serum samples were analyzed on an Abaxis VS2 Biochemistry Analyzer and whole blood samples...

Adult Shorebird Morphological Measurement Data Adult Shorebird Morphological Measurement Data

This dataset consists of five tables, 1) shorebird morphological measurements collected from various species captured from 1895-2021, 2) taxonomy, 3) contributors, 4) sampling locations, and 5) cross-reference publications. In addition, photographs of plumage patterns are available for several species. Researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey - Alaska Science Center, along with...

U-Pb Ages, Hafnium Isotope Ratios, and Trace Element Concentrations by Laser-ablation Split Stream (LASS) Analysis of Igneous and Metamorphic Zircons from the Yukon-Tanana Upland, Eastern Alaska U-Pb Ages, Hafnium Isotope Ratios, and Trace Element Concentrations by Laser-ablation Split Stream (LASS) Analysis of Igneous and Metamorphic Zircons from the Yukon-Tanana Upland, Eastern Alaska

This dataset contains U-Pb isotopic data and ages, Hf isotope data, and trace element concentrations of zircon from igneous rocks collected from the Yukon-Tanana Upland, eastern Alaska. The sample suite was collected as part of geological mapping and supporting geochemical and geochronological analysis conducted from 2013 to 2019. Zircon was obtained from these igneous rocks to determine...

Sediment Transport Data from the Totatlanika River, Alaska, August 2021 Sediment Transport Data from the Totatlanika River, Alaska, August 2021

This data package provides four datasets acquired for the purpose of quantifying parameters affecting sediment trasport along the Totatlanika River, which drains the minerally endowed and tectonically active northern Alaska Range. The datasets provide measures of: (1) channel geometry, (2) boulders, (3) sediment grains size, and (4) water flow. The data can be used to understand sediment...

Age-0 Sablefish Size and Growth Indices from Seabird Diets at Middleton Island, Alaska Age-0 Sablefish Size and Growth Indices from Seabird Diets at Middleton Island, Alaska

This dataset provides annual summaries of information on age-0 sablefish in Rhinoceros Auklet (Cerorhinca monocerata) chick diets from Middleton Island, Alaska. This includes number of diet samples, number of sablefish sampled, proportion of total biomass, catch per unit effort, and frequency of occurrence for each year. We calculated an annual growth index for age-0 sablefish using the

Data from Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) Overwintering in Three Lagoons Along the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico Data from Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) Overwintering in Three Lagoons Along the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico

This data package includes two child items with data from Pacific Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) during winter and migration periods. Child Item One: "Body mass, Morphological Measurements, Flock Counts, and Age-Ratios from Black Brant Overwintering in Three Lagoons Along the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico". The data include: (1) body mass and morphological measurements from...

Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Images from Remote Camera Stations Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Images from Remote Camera Stations

This data package contains digital photos of a walrus haulout location at Cape Greig, on the Alaska Peninsula summer 2023. Photos were taken up to three times daily from a remotely operated camera located on a bluff above the haulout. The camera was installed in the early spring 2023, prior to arrival of walruses at the site. Images were transferred via satellite link.
