The Portneuf River sub basin is located in southeast Idaho, USA. The Portneuf River is approximately 100 miles long and drains an area of roughly 1,360 square miles. Five water quality monitoring stations along the Portneuf were measured for dissolved oxygen and water temperature from 2009 to 2014 as part of water quality assessments by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality...

The Fish and Wildlife Service currently uses nets and electrofishing as part of their early detection and monitoring program in the Upper Illinois River for bigheaded carps. This dataset contains the sampling data and sampling attributes (such as water parameters for electrofishing or net length for gills). The sampling data is the binary presence/absence observations. This is that data...

This data release contains an image and video catalog of the 2018 summit collapse and lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea volcano, on the Island of Hawaiʻi. An intrusion of magma into Kīlauea’s lower East Rift Zone resulted in a four-month-long eruption from May 3 to September 5, 2018 (Neal and others, 2018). The eruption produced lava flows that covered an area of 35.5 square...

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates are a fundamental measurement for the study and monitoring of active volcanoes. Such emissions inform scientists about the level of volcanic activity or unrest, and they also present a hazard to surrounding populations. Here we present a continuation of a long-term dataset collected by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory for over four decades using UV...

Data describe the detection of spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) and mucket (Ortmanniana ligamentina) freshwater mussel environmental DNA (eDNA) from water samples collected from the Big Piney River in Pulaski County, MO, U.S.A. Water samples were collected from 2 sites known to contain the target species by previously surveyed mussel beds. Sampling transects spanned from 100 meters...

This data set includes plot environmental and vegetation sample data for a project documenting conditions at two post-mining restoration sites in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania, USA. Samples at the Good Spring restoration site document vegetation and soil conditions following recent remediation and restoration of slopes of mine-waste piles. Samples at the Nanticoke site...

We tested eDNA metabarcoding as a survey tool to examine invertebrate communities in a uranium mine containment pond. We tested samples collected from surface water near mines and from one mine containment pond using one primer set that targeted the COI gene (Leray et al. 2013). Subsequent sequencing of these amplicons was used to assess eDNA genetic signature of invertebrates living in...

This data set includes soil sample and vegetation plot sample data for a project examining the ability of composted soil amendments to improve terrestrial ecological restoration outcomes in a post-contaminant setting. Sites in the Missouri section of the Tri-States Mining District that had been restored and treated with varying levels of composted soil amendments were assessed for...

Concentrations for 26 PFAS detected in muscle tissues (edible fillets) of 16 estuarine fishes collected from four estuaries along Florida’s Atlantic coast between April 2021 and January 2023.

The U.S. Geological Survey and a consortium of local governments in North Carolina have partnered together to track water quality and quantity conditions in several of the area’s water-supply reservoirs and streams, known as the Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Project (TAWSMP). This data release contains the associated data described in the Open-File Report, "Triangle Area Water...

Embryonic zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to 0, 1, 5, 10, or 50 micrograms per liter carbamazepine (CBZ) from 2 hours post fertilization (hpf) through hatching, and then sampled at 48, 72, or 144 hpf. Larvae collected at 48, 72, and 144 hpf were assessed for transcriptomic profiles using RNA sequencing. Larvae collected at 72 and 144 hpf time points were assessed for histological...

Measurement of fluorescence parameters such as λ_max (the wavelength of maximum intensity emission), and red-green (R/G) and blue-green (B/G) quotients allows the use of fluorescence color as a thermal proxy in the exploration for and assessment of hydrocarbon-based energy resource accumulations in petroliferous sedimentary basins. Here, we present data supporting the development of a...
