A calibrated numerical groundwater flow model was developed for the middle Humboldt River Basin (MHRB), Nevada, to estimate stream capture from groundwater pumping over time. Stream capture was estimated for water years (WY) 1961–2015 with pumping from that period, and the model was then used to predict future stream capture based on constant non-mining pumping rates in WY 2015. The...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS), has compiled Geographic Information Systems (GIS) datasets to assess the erosion potential and flood vulnerability of streams and stream crossings within Acadia National Park, Maine. Erosion potential of streams is estimated using remotely measured geomorphic and hydrologic variables associated with...

This data release provides data on an active, multi-species planting restoration effort in the Premontane Wet Life Zone, Monteverde, Costa Rica. The study involves comparison of 13 actively restored forest stands planted three to 21 years prior on abandoned pastures to four nearby reference stands of altered primary/mature forests that were at least 70 years old (actual age unknown). All...

Adult sagebrush songbirds (primarily, Brewer's sparrow, sagebrush sparrow, and sage thrasher) were measured, color-banded, and tracked using multiple resight methods in Sublette County, Wyoming during 2020-2024. In addition, nests associated with each color-banded adult were identified. We conducted nest searching and monitoring efforts for any songbird species at study plots. Habitat...

A MODFLOW-NWT groundwater-flow model of the Coakley Landfill (CL) area in southeast New Hampshire was constructed from a previously published hydrologic model of the southeast New Hampshire region (https://doi.org/10.5066/P909PUIP). The CL model was used to evaluate groundwater-flow patterns and advective transport pathways from the CL as a proxy to solute transport of per- and...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents polygon model grids and tables of 100-year groundwater capture results for the lower, middle, and upper Humboldt River basins, Nevada. The grids define the active model cells, including cell identifiers and elevations for the model layers. The tables summarize potential groundwater capture from three sources: stream depletion, salvaged

These data describe a designed environmental DNA (eDNA) survey for the detection of oyster mussel (Epioblasma capsaeformis) from field collected water samples. Parameters described include the limit of detection and limit of quantification of the assay; a list of freshwater mussel species tissue samples that were used to test specificity of the assay; and field collected water samples...

Data describe the limits of detection (LOD), limits of quantification (LOQ), and associated quality assurance measurements of several environmental DNA (eDNA) assays for invasive black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), bigheaded carps (Hypophthalmichthys spp.), and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)...

This data release includes climate inputs and hydrologic outputs from the Basin Characterization Model (BCM) version 8 (v8), described in Flint and others (2021), in a 270 by 270-meter spatial resolution at a monthly time step from water years 1896 to 2024 for the Adelaida area of San Luis Obispo County, California. This data release includes five child items: 1. 30-year summaries, 2...

Both aquatic and terrestrial insects can undergo complex evolutionary phases throughout their lifespan. Insects in a larval phase can accumulate and retain some chemicals, such as pesticides, throughout their various life cycles. Mature insects are often more mobile than their younger counterparts, making them able to transport pesticides over further distances. Insectivores (animals...

This data release includes the downscaled climate inputs from twenty-four Weather Generator Scenarios and hydrologic outputs using the Basin Characterization Model (BCM) version 8 (v8), described in Flint and others (2021a), with a 270 by 270-meter spatial resolution at a monthly time steps from water years 1916 to 2018 for California. The twenty-four Weather Generator scenarios are...

We developed maps of of projected present and future climate niches for 9 focal species (including 4 plants [common bearberry, Bebb's sedge, highland rush, and shrubby five-fingers], 2 birds [grasshopper sparrow and black-throated green warbler], and 3 salamanders [blue-spotted salamander, jefferson salamander, and marbled salamander]) to identify climate change refugia, areas on the...
