All Data

To establish benthic conditions before construction of an Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program habitat restoration and enhancement project (HREP) in Navigation Pool 13, we sampled native freshwater mussels, tubers from watercelery (Vallisneria americana) plants, and surficial sediment with a stratified systematic survey design from 9/24/2024 to 10/4/2024. About 300 sites were...

This dataset contains paired in situ and satellite-derived water surface elevation (WSE) observations compiled to evaluate the accuracy of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission water surface elevation data over rivers and lakes. In situ WSE measurements were obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Environment and Climate Change...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) supports multiple efforts to understand and predict storm impacts to our nation’s coastlines . The first infrastructure line is defined as the seaward boundary of the first row of structures or roads in a coastal area and can be used to assess coastal vulnerability. The first infrastructure line as defined in this dataset represents a cross shore...

This data release provides continuous water quality measurements from five sites in different landscapes within the Nellie Juan River Basin, Alaska. For each site there are six to seven tables of water quality data: dissolved oxygen (DO), fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM), pH, specific conductance, turbidity, water temperature, and water surface height.

This dataset includes freshwater drum age data from five study reaches of the Mississippi River and one study reach from the Illinois River as presented in the manuscript Life history traits and population dynamics of Freshwater Drum across large river gradients. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S...

Management of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon Idella) has become of great interest to fisheries managers throughout multiple watersheds where they have become established. Grass Carp baits have been tested as part of an integrated pest management plan to aggregate fish and increase catchability. However, the habitats, water depth, and structures used by Grass Carp remain poorly...
