Data

This data release includes downscaled climate inputs and hydrologic outputs from 41 Basin Characterization Models (BCM) version 8 (v8), described in Flint and others (2021), with a 10 by 10-meter spatial resolution at monthly intervals from water years 1896 to 2023. Forty-one (41) models were developed for sentinel monitoring locations in Wildlife Areas and Ecological Reserves in...

This data release provides comprehensive results of monotonic trend assessment for long-term U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages in or proximal to the watersheds of Mobile and Perdido Bays, south-central United States (Tatum and others, 2024). Long-term is defined as streamgages having at least five complete decades of daily streamflow data since January 1, 1950, exclusive to those...

Engagement of end-users and fellow experts is fundamental to the creation of useful scientific tools. We conducted a survey-based research project to assist scientists responsible for creating scientific tools by evaluating their engagement of end-users and experts in the development of these tools. Our study includes a suite of six United States Geological Survey (USGS) projects that...

Values Mapping for Planning in Regional Ecosystems (VaMPIRE) is a Public Participatory GIS tool developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management to aid in gathering information from the public about their values for public lands and waters. This contains data from 121 surveys returned in 2024 for the Mojave Trails National Monument in California...

The Cache Creek Settling Basin (CCSB) is a 13.3 km2 levee-bounded sediment retention basin located at the modern terminus of Cache Creek near the eastern boundary of Yolo County, approximately two miles NE of Woodland, California. The Cache Creek Settling Basin was constructed in 1937 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to trap suspended sediment from the upper Cache Creek watershed...

This data release contains the estimated lifespans of salt marshes in E.B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (EBFNWR) and Atlantic-facing New Jersey. The lifespans are calculated based on estimated sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) predictions, following the methodology of Ganju and others (2020). The salt marsh delineations are from Ackerman and others (2024) and Defne and Ganju...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) compiled and analyzed data for mapping groundwater total dissolved solids (TDS) at the San Ardo Oil Field in Monterey County, California. Data include groundwater TDS and bicarbonate concentration from oil well and groundwater well samples, formation resistivity from borehole geophysical logs, porosity from well logs and rock core samples, temperature...

US Geological Survey and National Park Service researchers designed and implemented an acoustic monitoring program for bats in the three large parks of Western Washington, all part of the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) of National Parks.This work was part of the larger NCCN bat population monitoring and white-nose syndrome (WNS) surveillance program, designed to understand bat...

These data are in four tables relating to complete blood count (CBC), biochemistry, blood gas analysis, corticosterone, serum protein electrophoresis, and sample attribute data of adult Pacific (Gavia pacifica) and Red-throated Loons (G. stellata) breeding in northern Alaska in 2023.

Results of statistical analyses of nontidal and tidal station measurements of suspended sediment concentrations in the Chesapeake Bay and watershed, collected from 1984-2021 by Chesapeake Bay Program and partners and the U.S. Geological Survey. Original measurements were retrieved from online data repositories.

This code may be used to fit Bernoulli-binomial models with latent group effects on both the Bernoulli and binomial parameters, where the former may be seasonally dependent. This model may be used to fit site (sampling unit) occupancy models, where the Bernoulli and binomial parameters and the grouping factor denote the probability of site occupancy, conditional probability of species...

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists conducted field data collection efforts between April 27 and May 2, 2023, at four sites (Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, Bahia Honda State Park, Curry Hammond State Park, and Long Key State Park), in the Florida Keys using high accuracy surveying technologies. Wadded Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) points and single beam sonar...
