Data

Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey since 1978 are compiled and provided as a uniformly formatted set of comma separated value (.csv) files. This dataset includes 1822 CPT soundings from 14 U.S. States. Provided CPT data are a set of three column comma separated value (.csv) files containing depth (meters), tip resistance (̨MPa), and sleeve resistance...

These data were compiled to evaluate the effects of seed coat treatments on the emergence and growth of four native Intermountain West perennial grasses exposed to six different water availability regimes. The objective of our study was to evaluate how seed coat treatments influence seed response and seedling performance for different species exposed to different regimes of water...

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over parts of Montana in the vicinity of the Boulder Batholith. The airborne survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative and was designed to meet complementary needs related to geologic mapping and characterization of mineral resource potential. A total of 45...

Phytoplankton samples were collected from the La Grange reach of the Illinois River from 2010-2020. Samples were collected from main channel, side channel and backwater areas. The following dataset includes phytoplankton community data (e.g., taxa, biovolume, cell counts, etc.). Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by...

Modifications were made to existing great lakes topobathy data sets to interpolate areas of missing near shore elevation data. Areas with missing elevation data were not interpolated where there was low confidence in the underlying depth. This included rivers, canals, harbors, lakes, reservoirs, etc. Areas important for targeting Phragmites australis management often lie within these...

This study evaluated the anesthetic properties of dissolved carbon dioxide on six fish species to determine its efficacy for use in sedating wild caught fish for surgeries. Phase I of this study aimed to inform induction time, recovery time, and short-term survival of fish using five different concentrations of carbon dioxide at one water temperature. Phase II determined the induction...

This study evaluated the use of dissolved carbon dioxide as a control method for invasive crayfish. Five concentrations of CO2 were administered to twenty-four test tanks at a water temperature of 5°C. Initially, Red Swamp Crayfish (RSC; Procambarus clarkii) were intended to be the test species used in the study. However, problems with obtaining a healthy population of RSC occurred, so...

This data release is a collection of quantitative and qualitative data for fluid inclusions in samples from the Bear Lodge alkaline complex, Wyoming. The dataset includes:microthermometry, Raman spectroscopy, noble gas spectroscopy, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), and energy dispersive X-ray analyses of fluid inclusions. For spatial context and...

Future sea-level rise poses a risk to mangrove forests. To better understand potential vulnerability, we developed a numerical model of soil elevation for mangrove forests. We used the model to generate projections of elevation and mangrove forest composition change under six sea-level rise scenarios from 2020 through 2150. We employed a data-driven modeling approach, utilizing new and...

These datasets contain the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope data from diamondback terrapin epidermis tissue and a variety of sampled prey items.

We established a network of 121 plots distributed within the 2020 SQF, 2020 Rattlesnake, and 2021 KNP complex fire footprints (extracted from Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP), https://frap.fire.ca.gov), as well as outside the fire perimeters to provide an unburned comparison. These plots were combined from two projects: a fire and fuels study (F&F) and the USGS sequoia...

This geospatial dataset compiles, in digital form, geologic and geophysical data for the Portola 30’x 60’ quadrangle, located in the northern Sierra Nevada, California. This geologic map of the Portola 30’x 60’ quadrangle integrates decades of published and unpublished mapping in the northern Sierra Nevada. In conjunction with geophysical data, including more than 1000 new gravity...
