Data

This data release contains spatially and temporally aggregated data from a particular application of the Weather Research and Forecasting hydrological model (WRF-Hydro; Gochis and others, 2025) from water year 1980 through 2022 for the conterminous United States (Rafieeinasab and others, 2026). This modeling application is climatologically forced with a modified version of the CONUS404...

This data release contains predictions of stream biological condition as defined by the Chesapeake basin-wide index of biotic integrity for stream macroinvertebrates (Chessie BIBI) as well as prediction of the percentage of the benthic macroinvertebrate assemblage as 1) Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera less Hydropsychidae, 2) Ephemeroptera, and 3) Clingers using Random Forest...

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Summerset, South Dakota, performed electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys between July 28 and August 5, 2025. ERT data were collected using an Advanced Geosciences Incorporated SuperSting with 2 passive cables with 14 electrodes per cable. In total, ERT data were collected along 13 transects using 2 passive cables and...

Reservoir outflows and downstream water temperatures in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon, are influenced by the operation of 13 U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) dams that comprise the Willamette Valley System (WVS). CE-QUAL-W2 models have been developed to simulate water release temperatures from a subset of WVS dams, and thermal effects to downstream reaches that may result from...

This dataset contains results of weighted least-squares (WLS) regression for 42 streamflow gaging stations (streamgages) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on urban streams in Alabama and Mississippi. WLS regression was used to relate drainage area and the percentages of the drainage basins of the streamgages in developed land use (the sum of classes 21-24 from the 2011...

In the western United States, there has been a long history of planting fish into historically fishless mountain lakes for the purpose of recreational fishing. This practice can have detrimental effects to lake ecosystems, particularly amphibian populations. We compiled records of fish plantings into lakes on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington State dating back to 1930. Our...

Wildfire is an increasingly important driver of changes within sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems of the western United States, often resulting in increased spread of exotic annual grasses, such as cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), and subsequent losses of native vegetation and wildlife habitat. Fuel breaks, areas of land treated to reduce or redistribute hazardous fuels, are widely...

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to...

Reported here are the geographic sampling information associated with the raw shotgun sequencing data of multiple families of Polychaeta samples collected from cold seep sites off the U.S. Atlantic margin as well as raw 18S amplicon sequencing data from sediment eDNA collected from Astoria Canyon seeps, located on the Cascadia margin, northeastern Pacific Ocean. Also included are GenBank...

The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring Program (SWAMP). The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands...

For decades, researchers have recognized the functionality of using conodont elements in biostratigraphic investigations. A growing need now exists, however, for a digital dataset of fossil data. The New England conodont dataset is the region's first publicly accessible digital collection of previously published U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conodont paleontological data and Color...

These data are a compilation of example index velocity ratings used at USGS streamgaging stations. Each directory contains seven comma-delimited files consisting of a read me, the hydrographer developed rating, a table of discharge measurements used to develop the velocity rating, a mixture model analysis, statistically recommended rating, and the variance covariance matrix for both the
