Data

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), constructed a Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model of the High Plains aquifer system (hereinafter referred to as the "Ogallala aquifer" in northwestern Oklahoma. The SWB model as well as supplementary data were used to (1) estimate recharge to the Ogallala aquifer in northwestern Oklahoma, and (2)...

Data from a laboratory study undertaken at the U.S. Geological Survey to investigate solid/water partitioning of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in New Hampshire soils and biosolids are presented here. Soils and biosolids used for the experiments were collected using PFAS-free sampling equipment, air dried, gently homogenized, and sieved (soils only). Soil samples were...

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to...

The Southeast FireMap (SEFM) project is a collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Tall Timbers Research Station that aims to improve burned area mapping across the southeastern United States. Tracking prescribed fires and wildfires is essential for effective wildfire risk mitigation, natural resource management, and landscape conservation across both public and...

This dataset is one table with data collected and derived from female polar bears sampled in Alaska's southern Beaufort Sea during 1982-1985. Collected data includes demographic information. Derived data includes blood-based analyte values determined from serum samples. Serum samples were analyzed in 1986 by Evergreen Professional Services (Bothell, WA, USA). It is believed that a...

This data release contains the methodology and results of research focused on helping refine grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) removal efforts in Lake Erie. This research includes information regarding acoustic telemetry receivers deployed in Lake Erie and its tributaries during the study time frame, temperature data collected from stations previous research has shown grass carp...

This model application data release contains the model source code, model control files, input data file, and output prediction files from the application of seasonally dynamic “Spatially Referenced Regressions on Watershed attributes” (SPARROW) models (Schmadel and others, 2024) within the Upper Colorado River Basin for four constituents: baseflow, streamflow, total dissolved solids in...

This dataset collection supports adaptive management planning for black ash wetlands threatened by emerald ash borer (EAB) across Minnesota and provides the underlying data used in an ArcGIS StoryMap outlining strategies for black ash wetland management. There is one csv file containing wildlife habitat model data and four shapefiles included in this collection. The black ash complexes...

This data release contains rasters of modeled spawning habitat for spring Chinook salmon in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon for a range of streamflows and for various river corridors. Usable habitat area for spawning spring Chinook salmon was evaluated by integrating depth and velocity outputs from two-dimensional hydraulic models and estimates of riverbed grainsize with observed and...

This dataset records physical (photosynthetically available radiation, currents, wave action, and temperature) and physicochemical (specific conductivity, turbidity, pH, phycocyanin, chlorophyll, and dissolved oxygen) data from sensors moored during the winter season of 2024-2025 at two lake whitefish spawning reefs – Good Harbor Bay in Lake Michigan and Thunder Bay in Lake Huron. The...

These data were compiled to assess species performance for 59 native grass, forb, and shrub species that were seeded and (or) planted across 20 RestoreNet sites in the Southwest US. Objectives of our study were to assess species performance within and across ecoregions, across revegetation methods (seeding or outplanting greenhouse-grown seedlings), and by growth form (grass, forb, or...
