Data

This dataset represents field data from a multi-year experiment testing the cut-to-drown management strategy in patches of Phragmites australis at two sites in the Great Lakes coastal zone. We established research plots where Phragmites was cut under the water to test that treatment's effectiveness as a control strategy. The experiment took place in 2022 and 2023. Over the multi-year...

This data release provides a vector geospatial shapefile of river and creek segments within Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) habitat in the Noatak River drainage (DeCicco 1985) classified for metal impairment between 1986 and 2024. The impairment classifications were based on visual inspection of Landsat and Sentinel satellite imagery. Also provided are the satellite images (as raster...

Observations of irrigated agricultural land within the Gila Bend Groundwater Basin in Arizona. Crops were verified in situ twice in 2024, first on May 8th and again on Aug 27th; based on digitized field boundaries. Field boundaries were digitized from U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Imagery Program County Mosaic 2023 imagery for Arizona and supplemented with the...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Town of Falmouth, used an existing groundwater flow model to simulate responses of the freshwater hydrologic system in Falmouth, Massachusetts to proposed wastewater-return-flow scenarios. The existing model is a steady-state, three-dimensional MODFLOW-2005 model of the Sagamore flow lens of the Cape Cod aquifer documented by...

Remote sensing-based evapotranspiration (ET) can be derived using various methods, from soil moisture accounting to vegetation-index based approaches to simple and complex surface energy balance techniques. Due to the complexity of fully representing and parameterizing ET sub-processes, different models tend to diverge in their estimations. However, most models appear to provide...

Geologic map geodatabase depicting the surficial geology of the central Brooks Range, Alaska. Including the 250k quadrangles of Ambler River, Bettles, Chandalar, Chandler Lake, Hughes, Howard Pass, Killik River, Phillip Smith Mountains, Survey Pass, and Wiseman. Database tables include geologic linework and geologic units.

These data consist of gridded projected pinyon-juniper community-level suitability values across western North America. The objectives of our study were to estimate community-level suitability for pinyon-juniper woodlands under current and future climate conditions and compare geographic patterns in suitability against additional management considerations, such as burn probability and...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), collected water-surface profile data at selected highway bridges in Montana. The water-surface profile data characterizes the water-surface elevation and slope upstream and downstream of a bridge. Water-surface profile data were typically obtained for one side of the stream by surveying...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), collected various data at selected bridges in Montana. The data collected in the field included streambed cross-section data, longitudinal streambed profile data, and water-surface profile data. Efforts included overlaying pier structure geometry on the plots to demonstrate the position...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), collected longitudinal streambed profile data along the sides of piers at selected bridges in Montana. The streambed profile data extends upstream and downstream of piers so that local pier scour effects might be distinguished from more general geomorphic scour processes. Two or more...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), collected channel cross-section geometry data on the upstream and downstream sides of selected highway bridges in Montana. The cross-section data typically extend the full width of the streambed at the bridge opening and up the abutments so that local pier scour effects and more general

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides Level-2 Provisional Aquatic Reflectance (AR) Products through EROS Science Processing Architecture (ESPA) On-Demand Interface for the Collection 2 Landsat 8-9 archive. This dataset includes n=742 provisional AR products for the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) bands for the Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensor at 30 meters resolution coincident...
