The database for the geologic map of the Frederick 30 x 60 quadrangle covers the distinct geologic provinces and sections of the central Appalachian region that are defined by unique bedrock and resulting landforms. From west to east, the provinces include the Great Valley section of the Valley and Ridge province, the Blue Ridge province, and the Piedmont province; in the extreme...

This data release contains five tables of information related to the movement patterns of Black Brant equipped with high-frequency GPS tags: 1) brant banding records, 2) helicopter flight routes for experimental disturbance trials, 3) Brant movement data from Milsar tags deployed in 2023, 4) Brant movement data from Milsar tags deployed in 2024, and 5) Brant movement data from Ornitela...

Sediment accretion measurements were made at the SMARTX warming experiment at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's Global Change Research Wetland. Feldspar marker horizons were established at the beginning of the experiment in 2016 in the warming plots, and were subsequently buried over time by wetland accretion of both organic and inorganic matter. These data include the...

As stream temperatures increase, cold water adapted brook trout populations are projected to decline. However, there are mechanisms brook trout can use to persist in warming streams. Those mechanisms include acclimation, adaptation, and utilizing cold water refugia in streams where thermal heterogeneity is high. Using implanted temperature recording tags, this study examines individual...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected groundwater samples from 38 wells used for domestic and small system drinking water supplies in the south-central Sierra Nevada region, California in 2023 and 2024. The wells were sampled for the Western Slope of the Sierra Nevada domestic-supply aquifer study unit of the California Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program Priority Basin...

The surface psychrometric constant (spc) is a key model parameter in actual evapotranspiration (ET) modeling using the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop) model for establishing model boundary limits for the dry/bare and wet/vegetated surface conditions. The inverse of the constant (1/spc) represents the temperature difference (dT) between the bare/dry surface and the...

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida (USGS–SPCSMC), conducted a bathymetric survey near Wallops and Assawoman Islands, Virginia (VA). During this study, multibeam bathymetry data were collected aboard the Research Vessel (R/V) Sallenger from June 1-13, 2024, as a part of field activity number (FAN) 2024-310...

Invasive carp residency patterns in dam tailwaters are poorly understood. To better inform removal efforts in dam tailwaters, we examined multiple predictors of invasive carp residency in the Kentucky Dam tailwater between 2021 and 2022. This data release contains a time series dataset with daily counts and daily mean residence times of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) recorded...

This dataset consists of raw survey data from nighttime call surveys for anurans collected as part of several separate projects from 2003 to 2008. Anuran communities were surveyed during the night using parabolic microphones or naked ear with multiple observers conducting surveys. Data are presented from each survey.

This dataset consists of raw survey data from nighttime call surveys for anurans collected as part of a series of surveys targeting Blanchard's cricket frog (Acris blanchardi) in 2024 in the upper Midwest, United States of America. Anuran communities were surveyed during the night using parabolic microphones or naked ear with multiple observers surveying sites independently over several...

We evaluated extraction efficiency of four DNA rapid extraction protocols using filters spiked with primary cultured grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) gill cells. The extraction methods included two syringe-based column extractions, an extraction solution, and a Chelex extraction protocol alongside a laboratory-based spin column kit. We estimated DNA yield using a newly designed...

This dataset provides sample data and NCBI accession information for genomic sequencing of Gray-headed Chickadee and Boreal Chickadee from North America and Russia.
