These diet data were collected from the Porcupine caribou herd in northern Alaska and Yukon in summer 2021 during 4 periods: calving (occasion 1), post-calving (occasion 2), mosquito harassment (occasion 3), and mid-summer (occasion 4). Diet data was determined by two distinct techniques: DNA metabarcoding data from fecal pellets and video data from camera collars deployed on adult...

This data package contains 3 tables presenting site selection information, basin characteristics, subsidy to streamflow from glacier mass loss data, and other streamflow statistics for selected streamgages in Alaska that were used to evaluate the influence of glacier mass loss on streamflow in Alaska and conterminous basins in Canada. The first ("site_selection_outcomes.csv") contains...

As sea levels rise, wetlands exposed to oceanic water can adapt to changing conditions through vertical development (i.e., soil surface elevation gains via biophysical feedbacks) and horizontal migration into upslope areas. Elevation-based models of wetland transformation from sea-level rise are often hampered from a variety of sources of uncertainty, including contemporary elevation and...

This data release contains discrete chlorophyll data, specifically corrected chlorophyll a, uncorrected chlorophyll a, and pheophytin pigments, from inland waters in the Illinois River Basin for 1981–2023. These data are discrete samples (collected in the field and analyzed in the laboratory) of plankton (suspended algae) and periphyton (benthic algae) from lakes, streams, rivers, canals...

These data utilize existing land cover products and elevation information to provide information on changes on barrier islands and barrier shorelines along the north central Gulf of Mexico coast. Specifically, this data release includes information on changes in subaerial land, habitat types, and high-tide flooding for barrier islands and barrier shorelines along the north central Gulf...

The Species of Greatest Conservation Need National Database is an aggregation of lists from State Wildlife Action Plans. Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) are wildlife species that need conservation attention as listed in action plans. In this database, we have validated scientific names from original documents against taxonomic authorities to increase consistency among names...

This dataset consists of Structure-from-Motion (SfM) - derived point clouds and highly detailed orthomosaic images of four roadcut exposures covering the upper part of the Harrell Shale, the full Brallier Formation, the full Foreknobs Formation, and the lower part of the Hampshire Formation at Baker, West Virginia. For each roadcut exposure, two datasets are published: an orthomosaic...

This data release includes uranium-lead isotopic data collected from metaplutonic rocks of the New Hampshire Plutonic Suite and metasedimentary rocks of the New Hampshire Sequence. Rock samples were collected by Arthur Merschat, Greg Walsh, and Ryan McAleer. Samples were processed and analyzed by Arthur Merschat and Ryan McAleer. Uranium-lead isotopic data was collected using a sensitive...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Coastal Condition Assessment (NCCA) is a nationwide survey of coastal and estuarine water quality. During the 2015 EPA NCCA, samples were collected at 732 sites for analysis of algal toxins and cyanotoxins at the Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory (OGRL) at the U.S. Geological Survey Kansas Water Science Center (KSWSC) by...

These tabular data are the summarization of land use/land cover related variables within the Delaware River watershed at the 1:24,000 scale using the xstrm methodology. Variables being counted as land use/land cover related include all land use and land cover data. Outputs consist of tabular comma-separated values files (CSVs), and parquet formatted files for both the local catchment and...

These tabular data are the summarization of natural environment related variables within catchments of the Delaware River watershed at the 1:24,000 scale using the xstrm methodology. Variables being counted as natural environment related include soils/geology, lithology, elevation, slope, landform (geomorphon) and others. Outputs include tabular comma-separated values files (CSVs) and...

Groundwater discharge points to coastal waters can be identified and quantified using natural electrical and temperature data. In August 2022, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected water-borne electromagnetic induction and temperature along selected transects within Hen Cove on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, following a spatial survey of bed sediment temperature. Handheld thermal infrared...
