Data

Field data for fishes sampled using bottom and surface gill nets during daylight hours on October 22-24, 2024 in Lower Blue Lake, Lake county, California, USA. This data release includes the results of all measured environmental parameters and fish taxa included in the analysis.

Tiltmeter data from Kīlauea stations (ESC, IKI, JKA, KAE, POC, SDH, SMC, UWE) from January 1 to December 31, 2023. These data were collected in 2023 by Andria P. Ellis of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST v3.8; Warner and others, 2010; Warner and others, 2019) modeling system was used to simulate ocean circulation, water levels, waves, and sediment transport that occurred during Hurricane Michael (2018). Simulations were performed with coupled and concurrent ocean and wave models simulated on a series of refined, cascading grids...

Tiltmeter data from Kīlauea stations (ESC, IKI, JKA, KAE, POC, SDH, UWD, UWE) from January 1 to December 31, 2024. These data were collected in 2024 by Andria P. Ellis of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

This dataset describes mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentration data and Hg and MeHg stable isotope values in plankton, waters, and sediments that were collected from two inland freshwater lakes in Madison, Wisconsin. Plankton and waters were collected monthly from May-October in 2021 and 2022 from Lake Mendota and Lake Monona and sediments were sampled in 2017. Samples were...

This dataset is associated with an examination of environmental DNA (eDNA) from the invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in parallel with visual surveys of fish count and size conducted by scuba divers in four Great Lakes: Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. Round goby inhabits benthic areas, and it is known to have direct contact with the bottom substrate as it feeds on...

Coal exploration drill-hole data from 5,037 wells located in Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming are provided in this data release. The wells are located in sixty-eight counties and were drilled between 1971 and 1981, primarily by Phillips Petroleum Company (Phillips). The hard-copy paper data were donated to the U.S...

This data release includes laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data from four samples collected from rock units located in the Spinney Mountain Quadrangle and the Guffey NW Quadrangle in Park County, Colorado. Samples were collected from gniess and granite rocks, and age data was used to support publication of updated maps by...

These datasets include the components of and results from the Rarity and Climate Sensitivity Index (RCS) and occurrence records used to calculate the index for 29 stream fishes native to the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Idaho, Oregon) of the United States. The RCS is an index that ranks species’ intrinsic sensitivity to climate change based on their area of occurrence and climate niche...

The U.S Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), prepares a biennial analysis of salt loading at 20 sites on the Colorado River and its tributaries in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. These estimates can also be used by Reclamation to measure the effectiveness of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program. Data are...

These data were compiled for a study that investigated the effects of experimentally imposed seasonal droughts (cool season drought, warm season drought, ambient) and drought recovery on plant community dynamics in a mixed dryland ecosystem. In 2015, U.S. Geological Survey ecologists began recording vegetation and soil moisture data in 36 experimental plots which manipulated...

GPS collar location data were collected as part of a long-term study on caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) in the Denali herd of Alaska. Collars were deployed on adult (greater than or equal to 2 years) female caribou from 2010-2013, and then refurbished and redeployed on adult (greater than or equal to 4 years) male caribou from 2014-2018. The collars were manufactured by Telonics (TGW...
