Microsomal EROD data of fish liver sample assay from species collected in the Salt and Gila Rivers, Arizona Microsomal EROD data of fish liver sample assay from species collected in the Salt and Gila Rivers, Arizona
This dataset includes microsomal EROD data from a liver sample assay. The samples are from several fish species that live in the Salt and Gila rivers, Arizona at sites that are being assessed for PBDE contamination. The data was created in September and October 2016.
Chemistry, radiation and histopathology data in support of manuscript "Pre-mining trace element and radiation exposture to biota from a breccia pipe uranium mine in the Grand Canyon (Arizona, USA) watershed" Chemistry, radiation and histopathology data in support of manuscript "Pre-mining trace element and radiation exposture to biota from a breccia pipe uranium mine in the Grand Canyon (Arizona, USA) watershed"
The risks to wildlife and humans from uranium (U) mining to the Grand Canyon watershed are largely unknown. In addition to U, other co-occurring ore constituents contribute to risks to biological receptors depending on their toxicological profiles. This data was collected to characterize the pre-mining concentrations of total arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), mercury...
Acoustic Doppler current profiler raw measurements on the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, 2000-2016, Columbia Environmental Research Center Acoustic Doppler current profiler raw measurements on the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, 2000-2016, Columbia Environmental Research Center
Between the years 2000 and 2016, scientists and technicians from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) have collected over 400 field-days worth of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements on the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers, primarily for the purposes of assessing physical aquatic habitat for the pallid sturgeon. Scientists and...
Evaluation of Chemical Control for Nonnative Crayfish at a Warm-water Fish Production Hatchery Evaluation of Chemical Control for Nonnative Crayfish at a Warm-water Fish Production Hatchery
Invasive crayfish are known to displace native crayfish species, alter aquatic habitat and community structure and function, and are serious pests for fish hatcheries. White River Crawfish (WRC; Procambarus acutus) were inadvertently introduced to a warm-water fish hatchery in Missouri, USA, possibly in an incoming fish shipment. We evaluated the use of chemical control for crayfish to...
Soil chemistry adjacent to roads treated with dust control products at Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge Soil chemistry adjacent to roads treated with dust control products at Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge
The health of soils along roadways is critical for maximizing habitat quality and minimizing negative ecological effects of roads. Adjacent to unpaved roads, soil chemistry may be altered by the deposition of dust, as well as by road treatment with dust suppressants or soil stabilizer products. If present in roadside soils, these product residues may be available to plants, terrestrial
Missouri River 2011 Regional Sand Floodplain Missouri River 2011 Regional Sand Floodplain
This is a polygon coverage of sand deposits from the 2011 Missouri River flood. The polygon coverages were compiled from classification of 26 multispectral SPOT (Systme Pour lObservation de la Terre) 4 and 5 satellite images colleted during October and November, 2011. The dataset covers 1,298 km of the Missouri River valley bottom from Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota to the confluence...
