Avian Point Count, Habitat, and Covariate Data for Subarctic Bird Abundance, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2012-2014 Avian Point Count, Habitat, and Covariate Data for Subarctic Bird Abundance, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2012-2014

This data package contains three tables: avian counts by species, habitat type, a covariate information used for analysis of bird surveys conducted between 2012 and 2014 on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, as part of the USGS Changing Arctic Ecosystems Initiative. We conducted 1,208 point counts on 12 study blocks from 2012-2014 in northwestern Alaska, using repeated surveys to account for...

Fatty Acid Signature Data of Potential Yellow-billed Loon Prey in the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska, 2009-2011 Fatty Acid Signature Data of Potential Yellow-billed Loon Prey in the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska, 2009-2011

This dataset contains fatty acid data expressed as mass percent of total fatty acids for several species potentially preyed upon by yellow-billed loons. These data were utilized in a quantitative fatty acid signature analysis to estimate the diet of yellow-billed loons nesting on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska.

Summer Activity Sensor Data from Collars Deployed on Female Polar Bears in the Chukchi Sea 1989 to 1995 and Southern Beaufort Sea 1989 to 2014 Summer Activity Sensor Data from Collars Deployed on Female Polar Bears in the Chukchi Sea 1989 to 1995 and Southern Beaufort Sea 1989 to 2014

These are data collected from two types of activity sensors housed within collars deployed on female polar bears in the Chukchi and southern Beaufort Seas during the months of July through October between 1989 and 2014. Mercury tip-switches were deployed 1989 to 2009 and accelerometers were deployed 2009-2014. Activity sensor readings were related to habitats used by polar bears as...

Harlequin duck capture and EROD activity data from Prince William Sound, Alaska, 2011, 2013, 2014 Harlequin duck capture and EROD activity data from Prince William Sound, Alaska, 2011, 2013, 2014

This data set includes capture information and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity results for harlequin ducks sampled during March 2011, 2013, and 2014 in western Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Fish Creek Watershed Lake Classification, NPRA, Alaska, 2016 Fish Creek Watershed Lake Classification, NPRA, Alaska, 2016

This study focuses on the development of a 20 attribute lake cover classification scheme for the Fish Creek Watershed (FCW), which is located in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A). The GIS dataset consists of 4,362 lakes (which were extracted from a 5m resolution IfSAR/orthophoto image) covering 18% of the 4,900 km2 FCW and provides information on lake morphometry, hydrologic

Migratory Bird Avian Influenza Sampling; Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, 2015 Migratory Bird Avian Influenza Sampling; Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, 2015

Data set containing avian influenza sampling information for spring and summer waterbirds on the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, 2015. Data contains sample ID, species common name, age and sex, collection data and location, and laboratory specific data used to identify presence and absence of avian influenza viruses.

Morphology and Disease Information from Waterfowl, Interior Alaska, 2010 Morphology and Disease Information from Waterfowl, Interior Alaska, 2010

This data set includes data from three waterfowl species (northern pintail, American wdgeon, lesser scaup, green-winged teal and mallard) that were captured in Interior Alaska in 2010, then measured and sampled for blood parasite and avian influenza infections.

ArcGIS Mapping Service for Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulouts ArcGIS Mapping Service for Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulouts

ArcGIS web mapping service created for the Pacific walrus coastal haulout database for NOAA's use. We summarize available information on Pacific walrus haulouts from available reports, interviews with coastal residents and aviators, and personal observations of the authors. We provide this in the form of a georeferenced database that may be queried and displayed with standard geographic

Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Database 1852-2016 Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Database 1852-2016

This dataset contains a summary of available information about 150 Pacific walrus haulouts. The data were compiled from available reports (published and unpublished), interviews with coastal residents and aviators, and the personal observations of the authors. Each record provides summary characteristics, including: location information, maximum haulout size, age-sex composition, season...
