A laser rangefinder was used to record surficial mass movements at Cascades volcanoes and an experimental debris flow flume. Mass movements such as large lahars and smaller seasonal debris flows can occur at volcanoes in the Cascades. A combination of seismic, infrasound, tripwires, and webcams can be used to detect and characterize these flows. A laser rangefinder can be placed on the banks of th

This data release consists of multi-band 30-meter x 30-meter pixel rasters of estimated population and domestic self-supplied water withdrawals in Rhode Island between July 2014 and June 2021. Population raster data were generated using a national data product of 2010 population spatially distributed across land cover data and U.S. Census Bureau data of population growth estimates to adjust popula

This digital dataset contains the gridded future climate data used for the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models. The monthly climate data for Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models are based on the Salinas and Carmel River Basins Study (SCRBS) future climate scenarios [Henson and others, 2024). SCRBS considers one baseline climate scenario that represents recent historical climate conditions and

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release represents tabular and geospatial data for characterizing the soil texture and topography that may be relevant to Black Skimmer and Gull-billed tern nesting on bare ground sites across the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico. These data characterize soil texture (e.g., sand or shell, loam), elevation, and distance to mean higher high water (MHHW) at 3

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release represents tabular and geospatial data for the creation and application of a Bayesian network model that predicts Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) and Gull-billed Tern (Gelochelidon nilotica) on bare ground sites across the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico. Management plans with clear priorities can help to achieve Black Skimmer and Gull-billed Tern

This data release presents chemical results from investigations of surface-water quality in the Potomac River watershed (encompassing Washington, D.C. and parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland) conducted during low-flow conditions in July through September of 2022. This sampling campaign was conducted at 32 stream sites throughout the watershed (Table 1). A suite of field pa

This polygon dataset represents the tidal water shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. It is based primarily on shoreline data with horizontal positional accuracy of +/- 2meters provided by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM), with minor modifications in seven locations. In six instances, the modifications were made using the

The provided dataset is the coded analysis of qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted with managers and researchers who are experts on chronic wasting disease (CWD). CWD is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy disease that affects species in the Cervidae family. CWD has also proven difficult to manage and the disease continues to spread across North America and parts of Europe and As

The Pecos River Basin alluvial aquifer, hereinafter referred to as the "Pecos aquifer", is located in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico. The aquifer is primarily composed of alluvial sand and gravel deposits mantled by sand and silt.  The Pecos aquifer overlies Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous-age rocks. The saturated thickness of the aquifer ranges from 0 to 1000 feet.  The aquifer can

These datasets comprise of laboratory observations of oscillatory flows over mobile sand ripples. The data were collected in the Small-Oscillatory Flow Tunnel (S-OFT) in the Sediment Dynamics Laboratory at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi (MS), while Donya Frank-Gilchrist was a National Research Council post-doctoral fellow there. The flow tunnel has a 2-m long

This data release includes the raw data and code used in Castro-Santos et al. (2024): Sprinting performance and behavior of adult shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum). Notably, the code includes several processes used to differentiate among attempts, quantify attempt rate, distance traversed, and endurance of shortnose sturgeon ascending a telemetered flume. The code can be readily adapted

In this dataset, there are eight text files that provide the raw fish behavior telemetry data and an excel sheet that provides the processed velocity data.
