These data are in two tables: 1) table relating to emperor goose nest visit, nest fate, and nest dispersal distances on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in Alaska, 2000-2017; 2) table with means and standard deviations for posterior distributions of predicted nest-age and year specific daily nest survival probabilities for emperor geese derived from estimates reported by Thompson et al. (2023)...

The southeastern United States experiences frequent wild and prescribed fire activity. Mapped burn severity products in the southeastern U.S. face challenges accurately characterizing fire effects due to rapid post-fire recovery limiting observation windows, limited availability of cloud-free imagery, spectral confusion within wetland areas, and operational constraints. As mapped burn...

This dataset consists of sensor profile and water sample results from monitoring campaign to investigate the effects of two dredged pits in eastern Lake Pontchartrain on dissolved oxygen conditions within the water column in and surrounding the pits over a three-year period. The borrow pits were excavated to provide soil material to nourish three nearby protected marsh sites: Bayou...

A synoptic sampling campaign was conducted on the Animas River near Silverton, Colorado, under low-flow conditions in September 2021. The sampling campaign was designed to quantify constituent loading and identify sources of contamination along a 3.8-kilometer study reach. The study reach began approximately 170 meters upstream of Arrastra Creek and extended downstream to U.S. Geological...

This data release contains self-potential (SP) map data, two-dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data, and time-lapse SP-monitoring data measured within the thermal springs discharge area of Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, in addition to the geospatial coordinates of each geophysical measurement and photographs of the reconnaissance and monitoring...

This data release contains geophysical and water-quality property data measured by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) along downstream continuous profiles in surveyed reaches of Elm Brook, Hartwell Brook, and the Shawsheen River near Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts. The geophysical data consist of spatial profiles of waterborne self-potential (WaSP) voltages attributed to...

This dataset contains the reef profiles and resulting hydrodynamic outputs of the "Broad-range Estimator of Wave Attack in Reef Environments" (BEWARE-2) meta-process modeling system. A process-based, wave-resolving hydrodynamic model (XBeach Non-Hydrostatic+, "XBNH+") was used to create a large synthetic database for use in BEWARE-2, relating incident hydrodynamics and coral reef...

These data represent a Global Positioning System (GPS) survey generated September 18, 2024, using Trimble R10 2 Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Survey extends along the Cedar River streambed in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where a wastewater treatment diffuser pipe is installed. Cross-sectional representations were produced to depict stream depth and...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)’s Land Cover program has leveraged methodologies from legacy land cover projects - National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) - together with modern innovations in geospatial deep learning technologies to create the next generation of land cover and land change information. The product suite is...

Reported here are argon age data for samples collected to better understand lower Colorado River corridor landscape evolution, the history of the Colorado River, and define the age of geologic units being mapped. Samples of basalts, ashes, and sand were collected in the Cactus Plain southeast of Parker, AZ, the Whipple Mountain piedmont north-northwest of Parker, AZ and washes east...

Natural resource managers worldwide grapple with protecting aquatic environments and species in the face of intensifying land use and climatic changes. The hierarchical landscape theory suggests that a species distribution is impacted by multiple series of environmental factors affecting the species at multiple spatial resolutions. For a species to inhabit an area, it must pass through...

Des Moines Water Works (DMWW) is a regional municipal water utility that supplies residential and commercial water resources to about 600,000 customers in Des Moines, Iowa, and surrounding municipalities in central Iowa. DMWW has identified a need for increased water supply and is exploring the potential for expanding groundwater production capabilities in the Des Moines River alluvial...
