Water temperature is an important characteristic of stream conditions with implications for water quality and stream dwelling organisms. This Data Release contains spatial stream network (SSN) objects and R scripts to run SSN models to predict mean monthly stream temperature and 7-day average daily maximum (Max7DAD) during August and September in the White River watershed within Mount...

This dataset contains algal identification and enumeration data for phytoplankton samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) between July 2019 and November 2019 at seven reservoirs across the United States. Reservoirs sampled included Lake Koshkonong, Wisconsin, Pelican Lake, Minnesota, Lake Ida, Minnesota, Pomme de Terre, Minnesota, Lake Emily, Minnesota, Milford Lake...

This data release includes Lake Ontario prey fish data including species captured, relative abundance, spatial distribution, size structure, and age data from the April or spring prey fish bottom trawl survey, 1978 through 2023. Data from 1978 - 2015 are from U.S. waters of Lake Ontario while data from 2016 - 2023 include both U.S. and Canadian waters of Lake Ontario. Details about the...

To assess the degree to which transplanting sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) could quickly restore former sage-grouse habitat and the strategies by which greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) habitat restoration is best accomplished, we linked vegetation transitions with habitat selection models to evaluate habitat recovery. Within our modeling extent...

These data include down-looking images of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in either cobble or sand substrates within clear acrylic enclosures (0.86-meters (m) long, by 0.56-m wide, by 1.07-m high). Ten individual round goby were added to enclosures for imaging to ensure known abundances in each tank. Images were collected to evaluate the efficiency of image-based methodologies for...

This dataset provides information collected at three stream monitoring sites on the lower Yakima River in Washington State from June 2018 through September 2020 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Sample locations included the Yakima River at Prosser, WA (USGS Station, 12509489), the Yakima River at Kiona, WA (USGS Station, 12510500), and the Yakima River at Van Giesen bridge near Richland...

This data release provides census counts of the non-indigenous benthic foraminifera Trochammina hadai Uchio in surface sediment samples obtained in San San Francisco Bay, California from 1983-2010.

Comma-separated values (.csv) files containing data related to mercury in soil, water, sediment, in-stream leaf litter, periphyton, and aquatic invertebrates collected in 2021-2022 from headwater streams associated with wildfires in the northwestern U.S.

This data release provides documentation on the input and output files used in a seismotectonic study of northern California (see reference below). Files contained in the data release include the station, location and arrivaltime input files to the tomography code and the output relocations and resulting P- and S-wave images. Note that we did not use the S-wave imaging results in the...

This data release links benthic macroinvertebrate sites to both the NHDPlus Version 2 and NHDPlus High Resolution Region 02 networks, hereafter referred to as V2 and HR, using the hydrolink methodology. Linked benthic macroinvertebrate sites are those included in the Chesapeake Bay Basin-wide Index of Biotic Integrity (Chessie BIBI) developed by the Interstate Commission on the Potomac...

This dataset includes spatial capture-recapture data for a restored population of Blue Ridge sculpin (Cottus caeruleomentum) with stream temperature and stream flow observations in Big Hunting Creek, Maryland.

Our goal for this work is to place better constraints on aeolian atmospheric-surface interactions through long-term monitoring of an active, bi-modal dune field located near Grand Falls, Arizona. Grand Falls dune field (GFDF) is located on the Navajo Nation, ~70 km NE of Flagstaff, AZ. This dune field has been monitored since 2013 by the U.S. Geological Survey, and data from each...
