Watershed Attributes for Chesapeake Stream Team Field Sites Watershed Attributes for Chesapeake Stream Team Field Sites
The Chesapeake Stream Team studied 123 streams from 2021 to 2024 to determine whether conservation practices in agricultural and urban settings have improved downstream nontidal stream health. To isolate effects of conservation practices, scientists must account for other attributes in the greater watershed that may affect measured metrics of stream health. This release includes over 450
Soil-water content and soil temperature data near Sugarloaf Mountain, Colorado, USA Soil-water content and soil temperature data near Sugarloaf Mountain, Colorado, USA
This product is a dataset of volumetric soil-water content and soil temperature in an area affected by wildfire in the Boulder Creek watershed, in the Colorado Front Range, USA. The data contained in this archive continue through 7 years of recovery following a wildfire in 2010. Automated sensors (Decagon Devices, 5TE and 5TM) were used to collect the data at 1-minute and 5-minute...
Streamflow recession indices computed by automation within and proximal to the Mobile Bay and Perdido Bay watersheds, south-central United States Streamflow recession indices computed by automation within and proximal to the Mobile Bay and Perdido Bay watersheds, south-central United States
This data release presents streamflow recession analyses and supporting statistics for 164 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages located in or near the watersheds of Mobile and Perdido Bays in the south-central United States (see Tatum and others, 2024). Streamgages were selected based on a minimum of two complete decades of daily streamflow data since January 1, 1950, with the...
Geophysical and video logs of eight wells in the Camas prairie, Idaho Geophysical and video logs of eight wells in the Camas prairie, Idaho
In cooperation with the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected groundwater levels, geophysical logs, and video logs at eight monitoring wells from the Camas prairie, Idaho, between November 5 and November 8, 2024. The Camas Prairie (study area) is an intermountain basin of southern Idaho, located 75 miles east-southeast from the state’s...
Headwater and downstream attributes for select HUC12 units across the Conterminous United States (CONUS) Headwater and downstream attributes for select HUC12 units across the Conterminous United States (CONUS)
This dataset contains topographic, climatic and land cover attributes for headwaters (stream orders 1 and 2 ) as defined by the National Hydrography Dataset High Resolution (NHDHR) and downstream areas (stream orders 3 and up) for a subset of Conterminous United States (CONUS) HUC12s. Specifically, this dataset contains 2021 National Land Cover Database (NLCD) land cover for the...
Survival, neonate counts, and water quality measurements in controlled exposures to long-term wildland fire retardants to Ceriodaphnia dubia Survival, neonate counts, and water quality measurements in controlled exposures to long-term wildland fire retardants to Ceriodaphnia dubia
We investigated the survival and reproductive success of Ceriodaphnia dubia that were exposed to a concentration series of four current-use fire retardants (Phos-Chek 259-Fx Phos-Chek MVP-Fx, Phos-Chek LC95A-Fx, and Phos-Chek LC95A-R) to determine if exposure duration and concentration of the product altered the survival of C. dubia and the number of neonates produced by C. dubia. We...
Longer exposure to warm water increases subsequent thermal tolerance of brook trout in cold water: acclimation timing and physiology Longer exposure to warm water increases subsequent thermal tolerance of brook trout in cold water: acclimation timing and physiology
This record contains data generated from a laboratory-based study examining the persistence of warm water acclimation following cold water recovery in an iconic cold-water species, the Eastern brook trout. The data set includes Critical Thermal Tolerance (CTmax) measures of fish in treatment groups: control (15 degrees C throughout), 1, 3, 7, and 14 days in warm water exposure (22...
Detection of Cumberlandia monodonta male mitotype eDNA from an outdoor raceway tank during a spawning event Detection of Cumberlandia monodonta male mitotype eDNA from an outdoor raceway tank during a spawning event
Data describe the detection of Spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) female and male mitotype environmental DNA (eDNA) during a spawning event. Water samples (approximately 1L) were collected from an outdoor raceway tank containing C. monodonta from March to April 2021 and analyzed for the presence of sex-specific eDNA. Parameters described in this data release include water quality...
Data and Code Release: Copper-based control of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) settlement and non-target impacts on Lake Minnetonka: Treatment and Post application monitoring (2019-2022) Data and Code Release: Copper-based control of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) settlement and non-target impacts on Lake Minnetonka: Treatment and Post application monitoring (2019-2022)
We conducted and evaluated a low-dose copper treatment (applied as EarthTec QZ) to suppress zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) veliger abundance and settlement in a 66.3 ha bay in Lake Minnetonka (Hennepin County, MN) over a 3-y period. We maintained a mean (standard deviation [SD]) concentration of 83.0 (10.3) µg/L as copper over the 10-d treatment period, much lower than the maximum...
Datasets documenting Timescales of surface faulting preservation in low-strain intraplate regions from landscape evolution modeling and the geomorphic and historical record Datasets documenting Timescales of surface faulting preservation in low-strain intraplate regions from landscape evolution modeling and the geomorphic and historical record
This data release provides input data and landscape evolution modeling results to accompany the manuscript “Timescales of surface faulting preservation in low-strain intraplate regions from landscape evolution modeling and the geomorphic and historical record" (Thompson Jobe and Reitman, 2025). The data release includes two tabular datasets, a text file, and movies of the landscape...
Contaminants in bed sediment from surface waters collected in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, 2021-24 Contaminants in bed sediment from surface waters collected in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, 2021-24
This data release provides contaminant data from bed sediment collected from small streams between 2021 and 2024 in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. These data are part of a larger study designed to determine how conservation practices are affecting local stream ecosystem health, which stressors are negatively impacting streams, and which landscape characteristics are associated with better...
