This data release contains the citation details, abstracts, and expert annotations of 235 publications on the topic of the potential effects of oil and gas development on pollinating insects in the western United States. Publications were collected through a structured literature search and a semi-automated content analysis. We developed a search string designed to pull relevant papers...

The USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center, in collaboration with the Department of Earth Sciences, Montana State University, collected Propagation Saw Tests (PSTs) on a slope near Beehive Basin, Montana, before and after the snowpack collapsed unexpectedly. We also analyzed videos of these tests to measure weak layer collapse heights. A PST is a snowpack test that estimates crack...

The Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center in West Glacier, MT, in collaboration with Montana State University, collected liquid water content measurements at Bridger Bowl Ski Area, MT, during March and April 2025. Forecasting wet slab avalanches remains one of the most demanding challenges in operational avalanche forecasting. A key obstacle is the difficulty of observing and...

The water-quality data contained in this data release was collected in support of a project conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), University of Oklahoma, and City of Norman. This multiagency study was conducted to provide information on the use of constructed wetlands to support indirect potable...

This data release contains several products to support the publication of Janousek et al. 2026. Included in this release is data to model resource selection functions for mule deer in summer and winter across Wyoming, USA from 2001 to 2022, raster data of predicted mule deer habitat suitability in summer and winter from 2000 to 2023, raster data of predictions of the number of years of...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) routinely collects direct measurements of high-elevation mountain snow accumulation at South Cascade Glacier and Sperry Glacier; two of five benchmark glaciers associated with the U.S. Geological Survey Benchmark Glacier Project. South Cascade Glacier is located in the Cascade Range in Washington. Measurements began at South Cascade Glacier during the

This data is a compilation of elk aggregation metrics (inter-animal distance, proximity rate, and kernel density contour area) calculated using GPS collar data from elk belonging to the Jackson and West Green River herds in western Wyoming, USA. The data represents two seasonal time periods (high- and low-density) for animals from each herd. Time periods of inference vary by herd and...

Fish genetics data and the location of populations of Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus virginalis bouvieri; formerly Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri). Surveys were collected in tributaries and rivers within the upper Snake River basin, Wyoming. These datasets were created to be used in genetic stock identification to evaluate the effect of tributary populations on population...

This is the data archive for the publication Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States, Volume 6 and includes the collection of GIS map files that are mapped and described in the report. These map files are meant to provide a common spatial representation of the mapped migrations and seasonal ranges. This data release provides the means for ungulate migrations to be mapped and...
