We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the extent of cold water refuge use by juvenile outmigrating fall-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in relation to managed water flows in the Klamath River. Juvenile fall-run Chinook salmon were captured and implanted with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags and subsequently detected by submersible antennas that were strategically...

Machine learning (ML) models were used to forecast streamflow drought from 1 to 13 weeks into the future at more than 3,000 streamgage locations across the conterminous United States. Long short-term memory [LSTM] neural network models were used to predict weekly streamflow percentiles with independent models for each forecast horizon. In this data release we specifically include an LSTM...

This data release contains monthly and annual water-use estimates from the Aquaculture and Irrigation Water-Use Model (AIWUM) version 1.1 for the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) from 2020 to 2023. Aquaculture and irrigation estimates contained in this data release are representative of groundwater withdrawal for six different categories: aquaculture, cotton, corn, rice, soybeans, and...

These spatial and tabular data were compiled to have a decade-long record of the water usage in the riparian corridor and the wetlands near Phoenix, Arizona called the Tres Rios area to observe the effect of riparian and wetland health as characterized by vegetation greenness and its water use or evapotranspiration. The objective of our study was to quantify evapotranspiration (in...

This data release contains updated monthly and annual water-use estimates from the Aquaculture and Irrigation Water-Use Model (AIWUM) version 2.0 for the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) from 2014 to 2023. AIWUM version 2.0 employs remote sensing datasets and machine learning to advance the ability to predict groundwater use in regions with scarce or limited in-situ groundwater...

The Louisiana State Legislature established the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. Restoration plans developed under CWPPRA require evaluating the effectiveness of each project in achieving long-term solutions to coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs...

This dataset consists of annual raster maps of projected future ecosystem carbon stocks and fluxes, land use and land cover (LULC) classes, and LULC transitions for California, U.S. from 2021-2065. Data are simulation model output from the Land Use and Carbon Simulator (LUCAS; Sleeter et al. 2022) run under different future climate and land management scenarios. LUCAS model simulations...

During steady releases from Glen Canyon Dam in 2021, geomorphic data were collected for the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park from Lees Ferry to Pearce Ferry. A boat based survey collected position data using Global Navigation Satellite Systems and bathymetry data using a multibeam sonar system. Individual water's edge locations were measured using total stations referenced to...

These spatial layers were created to provide estimates of relative risk of a mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) contracting chronic wasting disease (CWD) based on environmental properties of habitat visited by the deer. We modeled relative risk of disease transmission using location data from GPS-collared mule deer in Wyoming that were CWD-tested annually, and used generalized linear models...

In the moist, coniferous forests of Oregon and Washington, a dense network of headwater streams supports high levels of amphibian species endemism and diversity, including the torrent salamanders (Rhyacotriton spp.). The Columbia and Cascade torrent salamanders (R. kezeri and R. cascadae, respectively) are species of greatest conservation need, but current information is insufficient for...

This data release contains frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) and passive seismic horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) geophysical data collected over and in the vicinity of the Dolores River in Paradox Valley, Colorado. The data collection area is comprised of an approximate 7-kilometer reach of the river and surrounding 100-meter buffer zone on both banks. Water depth and...

We conducted an infection experiment to evaluate how little brown bats from two distinct hibernacula in Michigan responded to a standardized exposure to the causative agent of white-nose syndrome. The dataset includes individual bat survival, body weight measurements, infection load assessments, and histological analyses. Additionally, we collected in situ infection load data from bats...
