Data

First, we would like to thank the wildland fire advisory group. Their wisdom and guidance helped us build the dataset as it currently exists. This dataset is comprised of two different zip files. Zip File 1: The data within this zip file are composed of two wildland fire datasets. (1) A merged dataset consisting of 40 different wildfire and prescribed fire layers. The original 40 layers...

Comma-separated values (.csv) file containing data (and derived data) from GPS tracking of free-flying bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Iowa, USA. NOTE: Data file does not load properly in Microsoft Excel due to the size of data file (2,093,022 rows x 15 columns) that far exceeds Excel's maximum of 1,048,576 rows. Use other program(s) like R or Notepad to view the file.

This dataset includes stream temperature data from 34 sites in the Donner und Blitzen basin of SE Oregon. Data loggers were deployed in September of 2018 and downloaded each subsequent summer/fall through 2021. The EcoDrought_Temperature file contains temperature data (in degrees Celsius) by logger serial number and site for the study period. The EcoDrought_Points spatial data layer...

This data release supersedes Thorson, J.M., Dunham, J.B., Heck, M.P., Hockman-Wert, D.P., and Mintz, J.M., 2020, Stream Temperature in the Northern Great Basin region of Southeastern Oregon, 2016-2019: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P924MOCB. This dataset includes hourly stream and air temperature data from 124 sites throughout the Northern Great Basin...

Estimating the number of birds or bats killed at a wind power facility involves adjusting observed carcass counts to account for imperfect detection. To account for carcasses that lie outside the searched area, the count is adjusted by dividing by the estimated proportion of carcasses lying within the searched area or the density-weighted proportion (dwp). The dwp package provides tools...

This data release is superseded by version 3.0, available here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P97ZSJLK. Please contact fresc_outreach@usgs.gov for access to superseded data. Comma-separated values (.csv) file containing data related to mercury in fishes collected from Clear Lake, California.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This dataset includes spatial locations where streamflow permanence observations (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) field survey available in the Survey 123 and S1 mobile application. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. Field observations in the FLOwPER...

The data set includes point location data and survival status of 90 fishers that were translocated from central British Columbia, Canada, to Olympic National Park, Washington, 2008-2010.

This tool is being provided free to the public in support of GIS specialists who calculate summary information.

This dataset contains detection-nondetection data for territorial pairs of Golden Eagles at survey sites randomly selected from a grid of equal-sized (13.9 km2) hexagonal sample cells overlaid across the region of interest in Coastal Southern California during 2016 and 2017. We partitioned surveys within seasons based on approximate transition dates for stages in the breeding cycle of...

To assess the effects of rotenone (fish toxicant) treatment and possible fish removal effects on nesting Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) populations, nests were observed at two reservoirs east of Ashland, Oregon. Hyatt Reservoir was treated with rotenone on October 12, 1989. Howard Prairie was observed as an untreated reference area. Nests at both reservoirs were observed two years pre...

We used snorkel surveys in the Elwha River, conducted in consecutive years before (2007, 2008) and after (2018, 2019) dam removal to assess changes in fish distribution and density. In total, we counted 54,616 Chinook Salmon, Bull Trout, Steelhead, and trout (Rainbow Trout and Coastal Cutthroat Trout combined) in 22 common reaches spanning 65 river kilometers. The occupancy of juvenile...
