We downscaled global climate simulations we previously conducted with the GENMOM coupled atmosphere ocean general circulation model at T31 resolution (~3.71° latitude × 3.75° longitude) by progressively nesting 50- and 15-km configurations of the hydrostatic version of the RegCM5 regional climate model over Western North America (WNA). The extent of the 50-km model domain captures key...

Mainstem rivers serve as the backbone of a connected network of hydrologic units that cover the landscape. A mainstem connects a headwater source area to an outlet. The series of data releases, Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States, referred to as "Mainstems", identifies the same mainstem paths across spatial scales in hydrographic datasets for the United States.

The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects. Indeed, pesticides and their deleterious environmental effects have been implicated in the sharp decline in North American farmland-breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton

This dataset contains hydroacoustic and environmental data collected by a long-range autonomous underwater vehicle (LRAUV) in U.S. waters of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan during August 2022. Data were collected to evaluate bias in fisheries hydroacoustic surveys associated with the surface acoustic dead zone (SADZ; 0–5 m depth), where near-surface fish often go undetected, leading to

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains continuous data from the Roaring Fork, Colorado, cosmic-ray neutron sensor (CRNS) soil moisture monitoring network as well as supplemental soil laboratory analyses and discrete field-based measurements collected in 2023 and 2024 for calibration and validation of CRNS data. The network includes 15 CRNS stations located in the...

Laboratory data were collected in 2021 on live fathead minnow sperm motilities by using computer assisted sperm motion analysis. Flow cytometry data were collected on the testicular cells; data are in standard format that allows files created by one type of acquisition hardware and software to be analyzed by any other type. This study on potential reproductive effects was performed in...

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...

This data release includes digital elevation models (DEMs) with elevation uncertainty treatment of the South Atlantic Bight. The DEMs were created using Monte Carlo simulations targeted towards limiting overestimation in elevation. For each DEM, we used Monte Carlo simulations with 1,000 iterations to create new DEM realizations. We then summarized the 1,000 DEM realizations by...

To enhance hurricane coastal impact models, we estimated height above ground (HAG) in millimeters for vegetation and other features using lidar point clouds associated with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 3DEP 1-m digital elevation models (DEMs). Specifically, the mean, maximum, and standard deviation of the HAG was calculated with a spatial resolution of 3-m. For this dataset, we...

This dataset includes information on sampling and morphological data for trapped gopher tortoises and their associated burrows located in coastal northwest Florida.

This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the northeastern portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt, northern Colorado. The Colorado Mineral Belt is a broad, northeast-southwest trending alignment of historic mining districts that have produced multiple types of commodities, including critical minerals...

The Southeast FireMap (SEFM) project is a collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Tall Timbers Research Station that aims to improve burned area mapping across the southeastern United States. Tracking prescribed fires and wildfires is essential for effective wildfire risk mitigation, natural resource management, and landscape conservation across both public and...
