Particle size distribution data from Florida Bay, Everglades National Park, Florida - 2024 analyses of samples collected following Hurricane Irma (2017)

In January 2018, a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) team collected short cores and surface samples from four islands in Florida Bay, Everglades National Park, south Florida (Wingard et al. 2019). The 2018 samples were collected approximately five months after the passage of Hurricane Irma on September 10, 2017, as a category 4 storm. The four islands had also been cored in 2014. The goal of the long-

Enhanced Terrain Imagery of the Staunton 30 x 60 Minute Quadrangle from Lidar-Derived Elevation Models at 3-Meter Resolution

This imagery dataset consists of 3-meter resolution, lidar-derived imagery of the Staunton 30 x 60 minute quadrangle in West Virginia and Virginia. The source data used to construct this imagery consists of 1-meter lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs). The lidar source data were compiled from different acquisitions published between 2015 and 2021. The data were processed using geographic

Enhanced Terrain Imagery of the Buena Vista 30 x 60 Minute Quadrangle from Lidar-Derived Elevation Models at 3-Meter Resolution

This imagery dataset consists of 3-meter resolution, lidar-derived imagery of the Buena Vista 30 x 60 minute quadrangle in Virginia and West Virginia. The source data used to construct this imagery consists of 1-meter lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs). The lidar source data were compiled from different acquisitions published between 2017 and 2021. The data were processed using geograph

Enhanced Terrain Imagery of the Front Royal 30 x 60 Minute Quadrangle from Lidar-Derived Elevation Models at 3-Meter Resolution

This imagery dataset consists of 3-meter resolution, lidar-derived imagery of the Front Royal 30 x 60 minute quadrangle in West Virginia and Virginia. The source data used to construct this imagery consists of 1-meter lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) and lidar point cloud (LPC). The lidar source data were compiled from different acquisitions published between 2014 and 2021. The data w

Zanclean Age Benthic Foraminiferal Census and Sedimentologic Data from the Yorktown Formation, Spring Grove, Va

Data consist of census counts of Pliocene benthic foraminifera from the Yorktown Formation at Pipsico Boy Scout Camp, Spring Grove, Virginia. Data consist of grain-size distribution by weight in grams of samples collected from the Yorktown Formation exposed in outcrop along the James River at Pipsico Boy Scout Camp, Spring Grove, Virginia. In total, counts of individuals from 15 samples and 48 spe

Plankton biodiversity estimates from the Pliocene of North Atlantic DSDP Sites 552 and 606

Biodiversity metrics for Pliocene time series at DSDP Sites 552A and 606. Includes sample designation, depth in core, age, February, August, and mean annual sea surface temperature. Includes species richness

Alkenone temperature estimates from the Miocene and Pliocene of SE Virginia

Alkenone samples collected during September 2023 from the Farm Road, Rushmere and Pipsico localities on the James River in SE Virginia.

Spatial data of artisanal mining riverine dredges using three different Synthetic Aperture Radar detection approaches on the Madeira River, Brazil

Three semi-automated detection approaches using Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) have been performed to identify artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) riverine dredges on the Madeira River in Brazil. The methods are: i) Search for Unidentified Maritime Objects (SUMO), an established method for large ocean ship detection; and two techniques specifically developed for riverine environments

Particle size distribution data from U.S. Army Base Fort Drum, Jefferson County, New York, 2023

The dataset documents results from particle size analysis (PSA) conducted on a suite of sediment samples from U.S. Army Base Fort Drum, Jefferson County, New York. Most of the PSA samples were collected from representative cells in a series of five portable optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) grids, here denoted G1 through G5, to constrain variations in grain size. These samples were also coll

Macroinvertebrate communities in Delmarva Peninsula streams, 2022

From 2 April - 29 April 2022, a Virginia Tech team of 2-3 sampled the macroinvertebrate community in 30 Coastal Plain streams (Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, USA) as part of a larger stream-health study including other teams who surveyed geomorphology, water quality, flow, temperature,fish community, and fish health at the same 30 streams. Macroinvertebrates were sampled using a 250 micrometer m

Community-sourced lower Zanclean [early Pliocene] sea surface temperature (SST) data

This data set collects, from peer-reviewed research, values of sea surface temperature (SST) that occurred at select sites across the Earth during a brief period of the lower- Zanclean.

Map data for a landslide inventory of the northwestern part of Vicksburg National Military Park, Mississippi

Vicksburg National Military Park (VICK) is in western Mississippi, situated on the loess bluffs flanking the Mississippi River. These bluffs are comprised of an accumulation of windblown silt-rich sediments, known as loess, which overlays the Oligocene Vicksburg Group. The loess deposits are thick (up to 30 meters) and easily eroded, creating deep ravines and steeply sloped elongated ridges that o
