Data

This data release documents seismic data collected immediately adjacent to beaver ponds and in their surrounding floodplain environments using active and passive seismic measurements at three sites. These sites are located in the University of Connecticut (UConn) Forest in Storrs, Connecticut; Fenton-Ruby Park in Willington, Connecticut; and in Gunnison County, Colorado. Horizontal-to...

These data showcase information for aga or Mariana crows (Corvus kubaryi) necropsied from Rota and Guam between 1993-2014, along with histopathology findings.

Data supporting the journal article titled "Influence of modeling assumptions on pedestrian evacuation success for non-eruptive lahar hazards at Mount Rainier, Washington" as described in the abstract: Previous efforts to characterize lahar threats posed to communities downstream of volcanoes have focused primarily on delineating hazard zones that lack information on lahar-arrival times...

The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring Program (SWAMP). The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands...

This dataset includes a collection of files related to a project investigating concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biotic and abiotic compartments of five stream food webs in the Farmington River watershed, Connecticut, USA. The dataset contains aqueous, sediment, and tissue concentrations of 28 PFAS compounds, 19 of which were detected at least once. Aqueous

The Fraser River, located in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, is a headwater tributary to the Upper Colorado River. This investigation by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Mission Area, Water Quality Processes Program Proxies Project was conducted from September 2021 through August 2023 and consisted of eight sampling events incorporating 17 sites (15 stream sites and two wastewater...

Beginning in January 2025, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission (NJDWSC) initiated a study to characterize the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in four northern New Jersey watersheds. This study was designed to assess the occurrence and distribution of PFAS in the Passaic River Basin including 37 mainstem and...

Between June 2024 and December 2024, tapwater samples were collected from 48 homes that use private well water as their drinking water source. All homes were located within a 50-kilometer radius of the 3M Cordova Facility in Cordova, Illinois, and analyzed for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The sampling effort was undertaken by the University of Iowa and samples were sent to...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and co-occurring constituents were assessed in the Upper Colorado River Basin during three sampling campaigns conducted from 2022 to 2024. In May 2022, discrete water samples were collected at five sites along a longitudinal transect from the Fraser River near Tabernash, Colorado to the Colorado River near Grand Junction, Colorado. Time series...

Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) produced in a hatchery were maintained in cages at multiple sites in coastal Louisiana, and shell height, mortality, fecundity, and dermo were monitored to compare performance between genomically selected groups. Oysters were produced using genomic selection techniques targeting low-salinity tolerant oysters (high breeding value). To test...

Both aquatic and terrestrial insects can undergo complex evolutionary phases throughout their lifespan. Insects in a larval phase can accumulate and retain some chemicals, such as pesticides, throughout their various life cycles. Mature insects are often more mobile than their younger counterparts, making them able to transport pesticides over further distances. Insectivores (animals...
