Existing simulated groundwater head and water-budget output files from MODFLOW models for the Plymouth-Carver region (Masterson and others, 2009), the Hyannis Ponds Cape model (LeBlanc and others, 2019), and a SEAWAT model of lower Cape Cod (Masterson, 2004) were used in a new MODPATH version 6 (MP6) (Pollock, 2012) particle-tracking analyses. In the MODPATH6 analyses, endpoints...

This dataset provides time series for the ungaged watershed inflows and associated inflow points for the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models (SVHM), including the Salinas Valley Integrated Hydrologic Model (SVIHM) and the Salinas Valley Operational Model (SVOM). Monthly outflows from watersheds that do not have gages that surround the Salinas River Valley are used in the Lower Salinas...

This data release contains three variables from the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure with the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) version 1.1 modeling application forced with CONUS404-BA (Markstrom and others, 2024) from January 1st, 1980 through September 25th, 2021 that are summarized to a twelve-digit hydrologic unit code for the spatial extent of the conterminous...

In 2015 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) collected bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data offshore Cross Sound in southeast Alaska using an Reson 7111 multibeam echosounder mounded to the ADFG R/V Solstice. The survey was conducted to map the offshore expression of the...

One of the largest and most expensive restoration efforts in the world is occurring in the Everglades, a sub-tropical freshwater wetland system located in southern Florida. This unique ecosystem supports several endemic and endangered species, provides flood control for Florida’s large urban population, and provides water for both agriculture and drinking supply within the state. The...

This data release includes data and metadata documenting the removal of eggs from wild palila (Loxioides bailleui) nests to stimulate wild renesting while hatching the harvested eggs and rearing the chicks in captivity for later release to the wild. Some eggs were not harvested and were monitored in the wild for hatching and resulting progeny. The data provides details related to the...

4+ year old cisco (Coregonus artedi) pre-spawn and spawning/near-spawning behavioral data were collected and compiled at the Tunison Laboratory of Aquatic Science in Cortland, NY USA, between August-October 2021 and November-December 2021. Data are comprised of fish reactions in choice flume video data (attractance/avoidance). Cisco were exposed/not exposed to an imprinting chemical...

This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery for two states (Oregon, and Washington) along the U.S. Pacific coast for the time period 1984 to 2023. An open-source toolbox, CoastSat (Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b), was used to classify coastal Landsat imagery and detect shorelines at the sub-pixel scale. Resulting shorelines are presented in...

Two digital video cameras were installed at Dorado, Puerto Rico (PR); camera 1 faced west alongshore and camera 2 faced northeast alongshore. Every hour during daylight hours, daily starting in August 2022, the cameras collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This data release includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation...

This data release supports a study investigating the role of sulfur as a catalyst in thermal reaction kinetics, focusing on the effect of pyritic sulfur on early maturation and consequent hydrocarbon generation. Hydrous pyrolysis experiments were conducted on mixtures of gilsonite and pyrite in varying ratios. Untreated and thermally altered residues were analyzed for solid bitumen...

The West and Central African Rift System (WCARS) refers to the series of Cretaceous rift basins where commercial hydrocarbon accumulations have been discovered. The Babouri-Figuil Basin (BFB) is an area of interest in terms of petroleum prospecting related to the WCARS. Many researchers have identified potential petroleum source rocks in the BFB. However, most of these studies have...

An assessment of the adaptive capacity of the NCSO Fisher (Pekania pennanti) that uses 37 factors, grouped by related characteristics: distribution, movement, evolutionary potential, ecological role, abiotic niche, life history, and demography. For each factor, species can be evaluated on a simple “low–moderate–high” scale, with criteria designed to accommodate either quantitative or...
