This dataset includes analyses of selenium (Se) in water, sediment, periphyton, and benthic invertebrate and fish tissues from the Kootenai River in Idaho and Montana. The samples were collected as part of a study intended to evaluate selenium distribution and bioaccumulation in the aquatic food webs of the Kootenai River. This dataset includes complete food web sample results from our...

This data publication contains information collected as part of a field, laboratory, and modeling effort aimed at uncovering ecological drivers of avian malaria transmission and impacts on Hawaiian honeycreepers across an altitudinal gradient on the eastern flank of Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes. Forest bird banding data and blood samples for diagnosis of Plasmodium relictum, the agent

This USGS data release consists of five data sets and accompanying metadata for an experimental mark-release-recapture (MMR) study of adult Culex quinquefasciatus conducted in a montane rainforest in Upper Waiākea Forest Reserve on the Island of Hawai'i from October-December 2020 and laboratory survivorship studies and analysis from 2021- 2024. Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector of the...

This data release contains tracer data and estimated age distributions of groundwater samples collected as part of a water availability study for the Mississippi alluvial plain (MAP). The MAP is the floodplain of the lower Mississippi River and its main tributaries and distributaries. The soils, climate, and irrigation water resources of the MAP have made it a highly productive...

This data release documents eight 30-year SUTRA simulations summarized in Pepin and others (2025) and provides output from one short (1-year) simulation to provide verification that the model code runs properly. The most recent, but not-yet published, version of SUTRA (version 4.0) was used to evaluate reservoir thermal energy storage performance by simulating radially symmetric...

In 2024, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) compiled rock properties data from the USGS Core Research Center's (CRC) database for the Southwestern Wyoming Province and adjoining areas to better characterize the potential hydrocarbon sources and reservoirs in the area. Data from 53 wells were collected from data analysis results located in the CRC database. These data are derived...

This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery (1984 to 2023) for the Romanian Black Sea coast. The shoreline positions were derived on transects 50 m apart using the open-source toolbox, CoastSat described in Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b. Landsat coastal imagery was classified, and shoreline positions were detected at the sub-pixel scale...

This dataset includes (i) camera-based detection data for nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) and coyotes (Canis latrans) and (ii) covariates characterizing the environmental conditions at each of 100 sites sampled in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge during summer 2023.

Captive wild ducks in the research colony at the USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center, Laurel, Maryland USA frequently contract Candida infections on the upper and lower bills. Various standard treatments were attempted with mixed success. Several of the Surf Scoters, especially, suffered extreme erosions of the bill leading to euthanasia prior to using this new treatment. For the past...

This metadata record documents one comma delimited table that contains information on the grain size distribution, fallout radionuclide activity, and geochemical characteristics of urban sediments within the Hickey Run watershed in Washington, D.C. Measurements include radiological activity, sediment particle size information, and elemental composition of source and target sediments.

Burmese pythons are an invasive species in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. Burmese pythons captured in the ecosystem are euthanized, and in an effort to learn about this invasive species, all euthanized pythons are necropsied, during which time samples are collected. We analyzed the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in muscle samples from 423 Burmese pythons euthanized and...

Location and elevation data were collected along with peat auger cores during six U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) field activities from 2013-2018 in and around Grand Bay, Mississippi (MS) and Alabama (AL) and used by Smith and others (2024). Peat auger cores were described, photographed, and the thickness of the peat unit was measured with a measuring tape. Following collection, the...
