Data

Rainfall, volumetric soil-water content, video, and geophone data characterizing postfire rainfall and runoff were collected at two stations in the 2020 Calwood Fire Burn Area in Colorado. This release contains data from stations at two sites named Heil Ranch (40° 8' 43.47" N, 105° 20' 26.352" W) and Calwood (40° 9' 4.76" N, 105° 21' 20.79" W). The data presented here were collected from...

USGS is assessing the feasibility of map projections and grid systems for lunar surface operations. We propose developing a new Lunar Transverse Mercator (LTM), the Lunar Polar Stereographic (LPS), and the Lunar Grid Reference Systems (LGRS). We have also designed additional grids to meet NASA requirements for astronaut navigation, referred to as LGRS in Artemis Condensed Coordinates...

Acoustic recorders can detect the presence of birds and these detections may be used for the purpose of population abundance or estimation. This monitoring project compared the abundance of tundra-breeding birds detected through both acoustic monitoring and observational surveys. The data package is comprised of four tables: (1) habitat type, including vegetation height at sites where...

This data release collates stream water temperature observations from across the United States from four data sources: The U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System (NWIS), Water Quality Portal (WQP), Spatial Hydro-Ecological Decision Systems temperature database (EcoSHEDS), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's NorWeST stream temperature database. These data were compiled...

In the Rocky Mountains of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (United States), recent melting at a high-elevation (3,091 m asl) ice patch exposed a mature stand of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) trees located ~180 m above modern treeline dating to the mid-Holocene (c. 5,900-5,436 cal y BP +- 51 y). From this subfossil wood record, we contextualize the recent magnitude of warming...

Digital flood-inundation maps for a 9.9-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River near Independence, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Board of Trustees. Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated to the current (rating number 42)...

Digital flood-inundation maps for a nearly 6-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Board of Commissioners. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Program website at https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/water...

These data show multilocus genotypes for Chylismia brevipes sampled from natural populations throughout the Mojave Desert of California, Nevada, and Arizona from 2016 to 2019. The data release contains two variant call format (.vcf) files with Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) from single-end Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RADSeq), which differ in the restriction enzyme...

Areas of desert bighorn sheep home ranges from southern Nevada. Home ranges are attributed with average slope, average vector ruggedness measure (VRM), median distance to water, average NDVI, NDVI coefficient of variation, and Palmer's drought severity index (PDSI).

This metadata record consists of 3 tables containing per-and-poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) concentration data of wastewater and biosolid samples from wastewater treatment plants within the Patapsco and Potomac watersheds. The PCB concentration data was used to assess the occurrence and fate of PCB in wastewater treatment plants within the Patapsco...

In 2017, Hurricane Maria triggered widespread landsliding in Puerto Rico. Published landslide inventories from Hurricane Maria (Bessette-Kirton and others, 2019; Baxstrom and others, 2021a, 2021b; Einbund and others, 2021a, 2021b) provided detailed mapping, including 2919 locations of headscarp points, travel distance lines, source areas, and landslide-affected areas (combined source and...

Sensory input and systems are critical for organisms to respond to their environment, allowing movement to suitable habitat and potential escape from predators. While many stages of grass carp ontogeny have been described, neurosensory development remains unclear. Using behavioral tests, we looked at phonotaxis and chemotaxis from initial gas bladder inflation to the development of the...
