Soil-Water-Balance Model Developed to Simulate Net Infiltration in Watersheds on the North Shore of the Long Island Sound
This model archive provides input and output for Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) models developed to simulate groundwater recharge (net infiltration) for a groundwater model of watersheds on the north shore of the Long Island Sound. The simulated groundwater recharge was further refined in the calibration of the groundwater flow model, which is published in a separate ScienceBase archive (https://doi.org
Global ferromanganese crust and abyssal ferromanganese nodule prospective occurrence regions
This data release is a polygon shapefile representing prospective occurrence regions of ferromanganese crusts and abyssal ferromanganese nodules on the seafloor throughout the global oceans. Polygons represent areas where oceanographic criteria, such as low sedimentation rate and moderate primary productivity, overlap with geologic criteria, including regions with appropriate seafloor morphology f
Surface-Water Geochemistry of Mercury and other Constituents in Clear Lake, Lake County, California
Clear Lake is a 180 km2 freshwater lake located approximately 120 km northwest of Sacramento in the California Coast Range. The lake is a popular sport-fishing destination, however, there are fish consumption advisories associated with mercury (Hg) contamination for several species. The lake has three arms: a large open-water region to the northwest (Upper Arm), a smaller and narrower region to th
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Data for Seneca, Owasco, and Skaneateles Lakes in Central New York, 2018 to 2020
This data release contains acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data collected during 2018 to 2020 from three open water platforms in the Finger Lakes region of Central New York as part of the Advanced Monitoring Pilot study. Data were collected at Seneca Lake (USGS station number 425027076564401) during 2018, 2019, and 2020; at Owasco Lake (425327076313601) during 2019 and 2020; and at Skanea
Basin Characterization Model (BCMv8) for the Salton Sea Watershed - Monthly Historical (water years 1896-2023) Climate and Hydrology
This data release contains monthly 270-meter gridded Basin Characterization Model (BCMv8) climate inputs and hydrologic outputs for the Salton Sea Watershed, which crosses the international border into Mexico in the southern part of the basin. Downscaled gridded climate inputs (Daly et al., 2008) for the California portion of the BCM (Flint et al, 2021) include: precipitation (ppt), minimum temper
Inventory of debris flows in burned (2020-2022) and unburned (1995-2020) areas in the western Cascade Range of Oregon
This data release contains two debris-flow inventories summarizing observations from burned and unburned areas in the western Cascade Range of Oregon (OR). The burned inventory focuses on debris flows that occurred during the first two years after the 2020 Archie Creek, Holiday Farm, Beachie Creek/Lionshead, and Riverside fires (OR_field_observations.csv). The unburned inventory (1995-2022) focuse
Biosolids Data Input Disaggregation from County to National Hydrography Dataset Plus
This metadata record contains two tables with reported and calculated amounts of biosolids applied to agricultural land within the Chesapeake Bay watershed in 2023 at different scales. Included in the dataset are (1) mass of land-applied biosolids calculated for NHDPlus Version 2.1 (NHDPlusV2) reach catchments in 2023 and (2) actual amount of biosolids applied to land by county in 2023 reported by
Sample details and near-real-time ED-XRF data collected during the 2020-2023 Halema‘uma‘u eruptions of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi
A limited suite of samples for the 2020–2023 Kīlauea eruptions within Kaluapele (the summit caldera) were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) field teams from within a publicly closed area of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park in cooperation with the National Park Service. This data release presents sample metadata, whole rock ED-XRF, whole rock WD-XRF, whole
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Detected in Smallmouth Bass Collected in Mid-Atlantic Watersheds
Plasma from adult smallmouth bass was analyzed for 13 per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds at 11 sites for a spatial comparison. At four sites a temporal comparison was made over a three year period (2017-2019). At two sites tissue comparisons were made using plasma, whole blood, liver, gonad and muscle. Compounds detected at least once are included in the dataset. For all fish collection site, date

Archive of hydrologic and hydraulic models used in the simulation of hydraulic characteristics of Caulks Creek, Wildwood, Missouri
Substantial incision and widening of Caulks Creek within the City of Wildwood, Missouri, in western St. Louis County, poses a threat to stormwater and transportation infrastructure along with effects to residential and recreational property. Hydrologic and hydraulic models were used to estimate probabilistic streamflows and characterize and assess spatial and temporal changes in erosion factors
