Data and Code Release: Acute Toxicity of Lampricides to Non-target Species of Concern in the Lake Champlain Watershed Data and Code Release: Acute Toxicity of Lampricides to Non-target Species of Concern in the Lake Champlain Watershed
Data to evaluate the Acute Toxicity of Lampricides to Non-target Species of Concern in the Lake Champlain Watershed. The toxicity of the lampricides TFM and TFM/1% Niclosamide to numerous non-target fishes of concern in the Great Lakes has been presented in previous studies. However, not many toxicity studies have been reported for Finger Lakes and Lake Champlain species of concern...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances along the St Louis River and in the Duluth, MN area 2019-2021 Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances along the St Louis River and in the Duluth, MN area 2019-2021
Tree swallow nest boxes were deployed at sites proximal to two putative aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) sources in the Duluth, MN area, as well as along the St. Louis River and a reference lake for comparative purposes. The two AFFF sites were the current Duluth Air National Guard Base (ANG) and the Lake Superior College Emergency Response Training Center. Concentrations of between 13...
Location and land cover uncertainty associated with stop-level data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) Location and land cover uncertainty associated with stop-level data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS)
The North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) (https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/) has counted birds annually for over fifty-five years. Survey 'routes' each consist of 50 'stops' (point counts) placed along a route path. Inter-stop distances and stop locations can vary from route to route and from year to year, and precise locations of each stop are not typically recorded. This data set...
Data release associated with research that describes how major flooding and dam operations in the upper Mississippi River contribute to large upstream migrations of native paddlefish and invasive bigheaded carp Data release associated with research that describes how major flooding and dam operations in the upper Mississippi River contribute to large upstream migrations of native paddlefish and invasive bigheaded carp
Recent research has attributed major flood events with the upstream spread of invasive carp in the Mississippi River. In two sequential years, the upper Mississippi River experienced a low water year with very minimal flooding in 2022 and a very high water year with extreme and sustained flooding in the spring of 2023. This data release contains hydrologic data from the U.S. Army Corps...
Water level, inundation, longitudinal profile, geomorphic change, and landform data for the Bad River (Mashkiiziibii) Estuary, WI, between 2014 and 2023 Water level, inundation, longitudinal profile, geomorphic change, and landform data for the Bad River (Mashkiiziibii) Estuary, WI, between 2014 and 2023
Some of the richest coastal wetland and estuarine habitats are found along the Great Lakes, but the dynamic, sediment-rich contributions from episodic river flooding are poorly understood. In 2016, record flooding of the sediment-rich Bad River (Mashkiiziibii) caused total inundation of the Bad River and Kakagon Sloughs feeding Lake Superior and Chequamegon Bay. Water level and river...
Multilayer perceptron classifier and shoreline extraction routine for Minnesota Point PlanetScope satellite imagery Multilayer perceptron classifier and shoreline extraction routine for Minnesota Point PlanetScope satellite imagery
A site-specific multilayer perceptron model was developed to classify PlanetScope satellite imagery of Minnesota Point, and the classifier was paired with a shoreline delineation routine to extract the position of the land-water interface. Satellite-dervived shorelines were used to measure changes in beach width associated with beach nourishment projects and changing water levels. The...
Data release for toxicity of Antimycin A incorporated management bait for grass carp Data release for toxicity of Antimycin A incorporated management bait for grass carp
The goal of this study was to develop and examine whether a management bait that can be used for selective control of grass carp. Our objectives were to 1) quantify the water-based 24-h LC50 of Antimycin-A for grass carp and rainbow trout, 2) quantify the 96-h LD50 of orally administered Antimycin-A laden bait for grass carp and rainbow trout, 3) quantify the leaching rate of Antimycin-A...
Data for improved understanding of the susceptibility of Lake Superior to threats from groundwater contamination Data for improved understanding of the susceptibility of Lake Superior to threats from groundwater contamination
This data release contains a data compilation and analysis of the hydrogeology in the U.S. portion of the Lake Superior watershed, for the purpose of providing background data for future study and modeling of groundwater and contaminant movement in the watershed. The data support an analysis of groundwater contributions to the water budget of Lake Superior and provide hydrogeologic...
Data to assess silver and bighead carp pool to pool movements from 2012 through 2019 in the Illinois River, USA through Bayesian multistate transition models (ver. 2.0, June 2024) Data to assess silver and bighead carp pool to pool movements from 2012 through 2019 in the Illinois River, USA through Bayesian multistate transition models (ver. 2.0, June 2024)
The dataset and accompanying analysis scripts accompany the article "Bayesian multistate models allow incorporation of spatial dynamics to improve invasive species management". The data are summarized detections from acoustic telemetry receivers (69 KHz) from 353 silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and 170 bighead carp (H. nobilis) surgically implanted with transmitters in the...
Plain pocketbook (Lampsilis cardium) glochidia counts and transformation rates collected during laboratory exposures to agriculture and urban contaminant mixtures and measured contaminant concentrations, 2018 Plain pocketbook (Lampsilis cardium) glochidia counts and transformation rates collected during laboratory exposures to agriculture and urban contaminant mixtures and measured contaminant concentrations, 2018
This data release includes datasets provided by the Woolnough Laboratory at Central Michigan University. These data were collected as a part of a laboratory exposure experiment, conducted in 2018, examining the effects of agricultural and urban contaminant mixtures on two life stages (larval and juvenile) of the freshwater mussel, plain pocketbook (Lampsilis cardium), using largemouth...
MODFLOW 6 models for simulating groundwater flow in the Mississippi Embayment with a focus on the Mississippi Delta MODFLOW 6 models for simulating groundwater flow in the Mississippi Embayment with a focus on the Mississippi Delta
This model archive contains the model files for the MERAS 3 and Mississippi Delta groundwater flow models documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2023-5100. The MERAS 3 model provides a simplified representation of groundwater flow in the Mississippi Embayment Regional Aquifer Study (MERAS) area for the period of 1900 through 2018, with the primary goal...
Mercury Methylation Assay Along a Salinity Gradient in Coastal Peat Soils in the Florida Everglades Mercury Methylation Assay Along a Salinity Gradient in Coastal Peat Soils in the Florida Everglades
This data was collected as part of a laboratory study examining the effects of sea level rise on mercury (Hg) methylation and demethylation rates in peat cores collected from the Florida Everglades. Peat cores were collected from a freshwater region of the Everglades, Water Conservation Area 3, in 2022 and taken to the University of California-Davis for methylation and demethylation...
