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.

Reproductive Success from Movement Data Reproductive Success from Movement Data

This software release includes code to conduct analyses presented in the manuscript titled: A hierarchical modeling framework for estimating individual- and population-level reproductive success from movement data

SeaLog SeaLog

SeaLog is a robust data-logging application designed to collect at-sea data of marine birds and mammals. This software was developed collaboratively with the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and ABR, Inc. SeaLog is Windows 10 compatible, is highly customizable, and provides user designed maps to allow visual feedback of observations.

Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bear Diet and Gut Microbiota Data, 2015-2019 Southern Beaufort Sea Polar Bear Diet and Gut Microbiota Data, 2015-2019

This dataset is one table with data collected and derived from polar bears sampled in Alaska's southern Beaufort Sea during 2015-2019. Data include demographic and morphometric information from each sampled polar bear, gut microbiome diversity indices derived from fecal DNA metabarcoding, and the proportion of prey species detected in individual bear diets derived from quantitative fatty...

Hourly Vehicle Traffic Data Associated with Industrial Activity on the North Slope of Alaska During Summers 2019–2020 Hourly Vehicle Traffic Data Associated with Industrial Activity on the North Slope of Alaska During Summers 2019–2020

This dataset contains hourly vehicle traffic counts in the Kuparuk and Milne Point oil fields on the North Slope of Alaska during summers 2019 and 2020. The oil field roads were generally closed to the public during the study period, so traffic was primarily associated with industrial activities. Data were collected using TRAFx vehicle traffic counters (TRAFx Research Ltd, Canmore...

Data from Sampling for Small-Scale Geographic Variation in Salinity Along the Lower Kashunuk River, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, 1993 Data from Sampling for Small-Scale Geographic Variation in Salinity Along the Lower Kashunuk River, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, 1993

This dataset provides salinity measurements collected from water bodies along 17 east-west transects in along the lower Kashunuk River, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta National Wildlife Refuge, 25 June - 30 July 1993.

Breeding Biology, Behavior, and Morphology of Emperor Geese and Other Waterfowl near Kokechik Bay, Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska during 1982-1988 Breeding Biology, Behavior, and Morphology of Emperor Geese and Other Waterfowl near Kokechik Bay, Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska during 1982-1988

This data package presents legacy data on Emperor Goose, Cackling Goose, Black Brant, and Greater White-fronted Goose, breeding biology, behavior, and morphology collected at study sites near Kokechik Bay on the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge (previously Clarence Rhodes National Wildlife Refuge), Alaska during the summers of 1982 through 1988. These data were collected to provide a...

Waterfowl Lead Exposure Data in Alaska and Russia, 1993-2022 Waterfowl Lead Exposure Data in Alaska and Russia, 1993-2022

This dataset identifies lead (Pb) concentration found in the blood of waterfowl sampled in western and northern Alaska and eastern Russia between 1993 and 2022. Data include age, sex, body measurement, capture location, presence or absence of lead shot on x-rays, and blood lead levels. Because the study took place over a number of years at the same study sites, many of the same birds...

Drainage basins for selected transboundary streams in south-east Alaska and Canada through 2022 Drainage basins for selected transboundary streams in south-east Alaska and Canada through 2022

This dataset consists of drainage basin boundaries for selected transboundary basins draining to the Gulf of Alaska in south-east Alaska. Basins were delineated to the basin outlet using a tidal datum of mean high water (MHW). The drainage basins are provided as polygons attributed with basin drainage area and as polylines attributed with the data source for each line segment...

Antimicrobial resistance testing, and qPCR detection of antimicrobial resistance genes in surface water and gull (Larus spp.) feces on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, 2021 Antimicrobial resistance testing, and qPCR detection of antimicrobial resistance genes in surface water and gull (Larus spp.) feces on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, 2021

This data set includes information on collections of surface water and fecal samples from wild gulls (Larus spp.) at two locations on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA. Samples were screened for Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) and tested for resistance to multiple antibiotics.

The data release includes zircon and titanite U-Pb-Thisotope and age data, monazite U-Pb-Th isotope, trace element and age data, carbon and sulfur stableisotope data, and graphite Raman spectroscopy data, from samples collected at the Graphite Creek deposit, Alaska. Sample location information and descriptions are in table "_sampleDescriptions_". Table "_ramanPeakFits_" contains all raw...

Low-Altitude Photographic Transects of the Arctic Network of National Park Units and Selawik National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, July 2013 Low-Altitude Photographic Transects of the Arctic Network of National Park Units and Selawik National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, July 2013

This data release includes 5 child items with photos and videos taken during low altitude photo survey transects in northwest Alaska, July 2013. Three flight transects were conducted from small aircraft over the National Park Service's Arctic Network (ARCN; Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, Cape Krusenstern National Monument, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Kobuk...
