Ciénegas are wetlands in arid and semi-arid regions of North America. We quantified changes in ciénega condition and floodplain dynamics using the detailed boundaries of 31 ciénegas and their respective controls.This data release is a series of four data collections consisting of 68 tabular data files (.csv) that include the following: (i) “i_Cienega_Timeseries_CSVs.zip” data collection...

These data are spatial estimates of fractional wetland area and were used to quantify wetland area change in the Davis Pond and Caernarvon Freshwater Diversion outfall areas during a 1984–2019 observation period. Trends in wetland area through time were fit using a penalized regression smooth spline. The trends are therefore generalized in time and are intended to present coarse spatial...

Ticks and their diseases are a public health concern, thus novel tick management approaches are needed. Ticks are associated with a variety of microbes, including some fungi known to be pathogens that cause tick host mortality. We characterized the fungal tick mycobiota in Vermont, USA to determine the effects of habitat, management strategy, tick life stage, and season. We also compared...

This dataset contains net tow and hydroacoustic data collected in the summer of 2021 in lakes Michigan and Huron to assess the spatial distribution and areal abundance of nighttime pelagic mysids (Mysis diluviana). This dataset also contains long-term secchi depth measurements collected in all five Great Lakes from 1996-2021 as environmental context to test hypotheses driving mysid...

LiDAR scans were taken using a tripod mounted Riegl VZ-400 scanning LiDAR. The tripod was set up such that the scanner was between 1 and 2.5 m tall. The VZ-400 is a near infrared (1550 nm) scanner. Geometric control was achieved, when the sky was visible, using a pair of Trimble RB GPS antennae, one mounted on the LiDAR scanner (rover) and the other setup as a base station. Before taking...

This dataset provides origin (hatchery vs. wild) and energy density (kJ g-1) of juvenile pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) and chum salmon (O. keta) from the eastern Gulf of Alaska, 2010–2024. Juvenile salmon were sampled from rhinoceros auklet (Cerorhinca monocerata) diets on Middleton Island (59.4375 N, 146.3277 W) located near the continental shelf break in the Gulf of Alaska. Auklets...

This data release comprises geospatial data of historical shoreline positions and long-term (greater than 60 years) and short-term (less than 40 years) rate of change statistics from the west coast of Alaska from Cape Prince of Wales to Kotlik River for the years 1949 to 2015.

This data release presents a national cross-section (XS) database (NXSDB) of bathymetric cross-sections collected during water year (WY) 2022 (October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022). The WY 2022 NXSDB has been approved by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for publication and supersedes the provisional versions. The data were collected by hydrographers during routine site visits to...

This data release presents a national cross-section (XS) database (NXSDB) of bathymetric cross-sections collected during water year (WY) 2023 (October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023). The WY 2023 NXSDB has been approved by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for publication and supersedes the provisional version. The data were collected by hydrographers during routine site visits to...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release is a collaborative geospatial database compiled by the USGS and participating State geological surveys, with support from the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) program. The database represents the first phase of cataloging above-ground mine waste features —such as tailings and waste rock piles— that are remnants of historical...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maintains shoreline positions for the United States coasts from various historical sources, such as aerial photographs or topographic surveys, and contemporary sources, such as lidar-point clouds and digital elevation models. Shorelines are compiled in a GIS and analyzed in the USGS Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) software to calculate rates of...

This Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GeoPackage (.gpkg) contains water-well point features and associated tables for the state of Louisiana, reformatted according to a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) profile of the OGC GroundWaterML2 (GWML2) standard (https://docs.ogc.org/is/19-013/19-013.html). The water-well records are sourced from the state-managed database of the Louisiana Department...
