Immediate impacts of tropical storms on the avian breeding community at Whiskey Island, Louisiana from 2015-2020 Immediate impacts of tropical storms on the avian breeding community at Whiskey Island, Louisiana from 2015-2020
We monitored breeding birds at Whiskey Island, Louisiana between March through July from 2015 to 2020. We surveyed all available habitat by foot, using high-powered spotting scopes and binoculars to search for and identify nesting birds. We documented species, abundance, habitat, location, and breeding behavior for each bird that we observed to be breeding. We modeled the counts of...
Data for quantifying the relative importance of survival threats to a long-lived reptile using expert elicitation Data for quantifying the relative importance of survival threats to a long-lived reptile using expert elicitation
The data in this dataset were collected during a full-day workshop in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia on 6 November 2019 with experts from multiple states within the wood turtle range using a modified version of the Investigate Discuss Estimate Aggregate (IDEA) protocol. Most of the workshop was focused on eliciting demographic rates for wood turtles for constructing a matrix population...
Digital elevation models with elevation uncertainty treatment, Grand Bay Estuary, Mississippi, 2015 - 2022 Digital elevation models with elevation uncertainty treatment, Grand Bay Estuary, Mississippi, 2015 - 2022
This data release includes outputs that were created using Monte Carlo simulations with the aim to reduce elevation overestimation in coastal wetlands at Grand Bay, MS. We evaluated the performance of coastal wetland elevation refinement by using bare earth digital elevation models (DEMs) and DEMs created from the last return from the light detection and ranging (lidar) point cloud...
Digital elevation models with elevation uncertainty treatment, Plum Island Estuary, Massachusetts, 2021 Digital elevation models with elevation uncertainty treatment, Plum Island Estuary, Massachusetts, 2021
This data release includes digital elevation models (DEMs) that were created using Monte Carlo simulations with the aim to reduce elevation overestimation in coastal wetlands at Plum Island, MA. We evaluated the performance of coastal wetland elevation refinement by using bare earth DEMs and DEMs created from the last return from the light detection and ranging (lidar) point cloud...
Everglades Vulnerability Analysis (EVA) GIS Library Everglades Vulnerability Analysis (EVA) GIS Library
The Everglades Vulnerability Analysis (EVA) is a series of connected, modular Bayesian networks that predict the response of several Everglades indicators of ecosystem health to changes in hydrology, salinity, and the landscape. EVA produces spatial explicit model outputs, and we created and compiled shapefiles to: 1) delineate boundaries that are relevant to the EVA project and 2)...
Fine-scale behavior of sea turtles in the Gulf derived from acceleration data loggers, 2018 - 2023 Fine-scale behavior of sea turtles in the Gulf derived from acceleration data loggers, 2018 - 2023
This release contains data from acceleration data logger (ADL) float packages designed to 'pop-off' in a set amount of time for recovery and platform terminal transmitter (PTT) satellite tags attached to 12 Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) and 7 Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtles in several geographic locations, using the methods of Hart et al., 2013. These instrument packages...
Range-wide probability of persistence of Ornate Chorus Frog populations and a habitat suitability map Range-wide probability of persistence of Ornate Chorus Frog populations and a habitat suitability map
Data include the probability of persistence of 407 Ornate Chorus Frog (Pseudacris ornata) populations across the distribution, as well as the mean habitat suitability, mean winter precipitation, and proportion of the surface that is impervious within each buffered population. Data also include the probability of persistence of Ornate Chorus Frog populations when different buffer sizes...
Sediment macrofaunal composition, stable isotopes, organic content, and grain size of the Cascadia margin (Pacific Ocean), June 2019 Sediment macrofaunal composition, stable isotopes, organic content, and grain size of the Cascadia margin (Pacific Ocean), June 2019
Dataset of sediment macrofaunal communities, geochemistry, and grain size associated with chemosynthetic and soft-sediment habitats along the Cascadia margin, Pacific Ocean, in 2019.
Hard shoreline structure inventory for states along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts Hard shoreline structure inventory for states along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts
To support the development of more accurate hurricane coastal impact models, we created a dataset containing an inventory of information sources of hard shoreline structures — including seawalls, groins, bulkheads, and breakwaters — for each U.S. state along the Gulf of America and Atlantic coasts. The shoreline structure inventory was developed initially from internet searches of open...
Hydrodynamic and sediment transport data from Gull Island, New Jersey, 2021-2022 Hydrodynamic and sediment transport data from Gull Island, New Jersey, 2021-2022
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, collected hydrographic data to investigate sediment exchange between a back barrier marsh and open embayment through a tidal creek near Avalon, NJ, between July 2021 and August 2022. Data collected include time-series measurements of current...
Oviposition and pipping observations for three wild adult female Burmese pythons (Python molurus bivittatus) in southern Florida Oviposition and pipping observations for three wild adult female Burmese pythons (Python molurus bivittatus) in southern Florida
Data in this release include oviposition, pipping, body size, and environmental temperature observations for three wild adult female Burmese pythons (Python molurus bivittatus). Data are from two individuals that were free-ranging (Pythons # 1 and 2) in Big Cypress National Preserve, Collier County, Florida, USA and one wild-caught individual (Python #3) placed in an outdoor enclosure on...
Vertical Control GNSS and leveling data collected across five Texas coastal National Wildlife Refuges, 2024 Vertical Control GNSS and leveling data collected across five Texas coastal National Wildlife Refuges, 2024
This data release contains Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements acquired across five Texas coast National Wildlife Refuges in 2024. These data will be used to establish vertical control and tie rod-set elevation table (RSET) data to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and National Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Data from the RSETs will be used to determine...
