Data

This data release contains two debris-flow inventories summarizing observations from burned and unburned areas in the western Cascade Range of Oregon (OR). The burned inventory focuses on debris flows that occurred during the first two years after the 2020 Archie Creek, Holiday Farm, Beachie Creek/Lionshead, and Riverside fires (OR_field_observations.csv). The unburned inventory (1995...

This metadata record contains two tables with reported and calculated amounts of biosolids applied to agricultural land within the Chesapeake Bay watershed in 2023 at different scales. Included in the dataset are (1) mass of land-applied biosolids calculated for NHDPlus Version 2.1 (NHDPlusV2) reach catchments in 2023 and (2) actual amount of biosolids applied to land by county in 2023...

A limited suite of samples for the 2020–2023 Kīlauea eruptions within Kaluapele (the summit caldera) were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) field teams from within a publicly closed area of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park in cooperation with the National Park Service. This data release presents sample metadata, whole rock ED-XRF, whole rock WD...

Plasma from adult smallmouth bass was analyzed for 13 per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds at 11 sites for a spatial comparison. At four sites a temporal comparison was made over a three year period (2017-2019). At two sites tissue comparisons were made using plasma, whole blood, liver, gonad and muscle. Compounds detected at least once are included in the dataset. For all fish collection...

Tiltmeter data from Kīlauea stations (ESC, IKI, JKA, KAE, POC, SDH, SMC, UWE) from January 1 to December 31, 2022. These data were collected in 2022 by Andria P. Ellis of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Tiltmeter data from Kīlauea stations (ESC, IKI, JKA, KAE, POC, POO, SDH, SMC, UWE) from January 1 to December 31, 2021. These data were collected in 2021 by Andria P. Ellis of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The authors thank Sarah Conway for conducting many of clock resets for these tiltmeters in 2021.

Substantial incision and widening of Caulks Creek within the City of Wildwood, Missouri, in western St. Louis County, poses a threat to stormwater and transportation infrastructure along with effects to residential and recreational property. Hydrologic and hydraulic models were used to estimate probabilistic streamflows and characterize and assess spatial and temporal changes in erosion...

Estimates of various low-flow statistics were computed at 56 ungaged stream locations throughout New Jersey during the 2023 water year using methods in the published reports, 1) Streamflow characteristics and trends in New Jersey, water years 1897-2003 (Watson and others, 2005) and 2) Implementation of MOVE.1, censored MOVE.1, and piecewise MOVE.1 low-flow regressions with applications...

Isoëtes are iconic but understudied wetland plants, despite having suffered severe losses globally mainly because of alterations in their habitats. We therefore provide the first global, comprehensive data set of aquatic Isoëtes and their habitats. We compiled a global database that includes all known environmental data collected from 1935 to 2023 regarding aquatic Isoëtes. This resulted...

Data to evaluate the Acute Toxicity of Lampricides to Non-target Species of Concern in the Lake Champlain Watershed. The toxicity of the lampricides TFM and TFM/1% Niclosamide to numerous non-target fishes of concern in the Great Lakes has been presented in previous studies. However, not many toxicity studies have been reported for Finger Lakes and Lake Champlain species of concern...

Tree swallow nest boxes were deployed at sites proximal to two putative aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) sources in the Duluth, MN area, as well as along the St. Louis River and a reference lake for comparative purposes. The two AFFF sites were the current Duluth Air National Guard Base (ANG) and the Lake Superior College Emergency Response Training Center. Concentrations of between 13...

The North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) (https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/) has counted birds annually for over fifty-five years. Survey 'routes' each consist of 50 'stops' (point counts) placed along a route path. Inter-stop distances and stop locations can vary from route to route and from year to year, and precise locations of each stop are not typically recorded. This data set...
