Short vs intermediate-term fate of glucose and oxalic acid in surface and subsurface soils of a coastal grassland near Santa Cruz California Short vs intermediate-term fate of glucose and oxalic acid in surface and subsurface soils of a coastal grassland near Santa Cruz California
Though the primary sources of organic matter to soil are plant inputs, the role of microorganisms as mediators of soil organic carbon preservation is increasingly recognized in the context of biological contributions to long-lived soil organic matter. However, current knowledge of sub-soil processes is insufficient to model microbial-derived carbon flow particularly at depth. Using a...
Toxicity Data for Groundwater Contaminated by Petroleum Hydrocarbons near Bemidji, MN (2016) Toxicity Data for Groundwater Contaminated by Petroleum Hydrocarbons near Bemidji, MN (2016)
Management of petroleum-impacted waters by monitored natural attenuation (MNA) requires an understanding of the toxicology of both the original compounds released as well as the transformation products formed during natural breakdown. Here, we report data from a groundwater plume consisting of a mixture of crude oil compounds and transformation products resulting from a crude-oil release...
Nonvolatile dissolved organic carbon and diesel range organics concentrations measured in 2016 at the Bemidji crude oil study site Nonvolatile dissolved organic carbon and diesel range organics concentrations measured in 2016 at the Bemidji crude oil study site
The Bemidji crude oil spill site is a long-term USGS study site to understand the fate of crude oil in the shallow subsurface. A description of the site can be found at https://mn.water.usgs.gov/projects/bemidji. In 2014 concentrations of non-volatile dissolved organic carbon (NVDOC) were three times higher than diesel range organics (DRO) in the contaminant plume*. This is important...
Groundwater Quality Data from the Upper Hudson and Central New York River Basins, New York, 2017 Groundwater Quality Data from the Upper Hudson and Central New York River Basins, New York, 2017
From May to December 2017, 48 environmental samples and six quality control samples were collected throughout the Upper Hudson and Central New York River Basins. Samples were collected from nine production wells and 11 domestic wells in the Upper Hudson River Basin, and 14 production wells and 14 domestic wells in the Central New York River Basin. Of the total wells sampled, 22 were...
Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) 3.0 (ver. 2.0, March 2023) Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) 3.0 (ver. 2.0, March 2023)
The USGS Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is the nation's inventory of protected areas, including public land and voluntarily provided private protected areas, identified as an A-16 National Geospatial Data Asset in the Cadastre Theme ( https://communities.geoplatform.gov/ngda-cadastre/ ). The PAD-US is an ongoing project with several published versions of a spatial...
Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) 3.0 Spatial Analysis and Statistics Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) 3.0 Spatial Analysis and Statistics
Spatial analysis and statistical summaries of the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) provide land managers and decision makers with a general assessment of management intent for biodiversity protection, natural resource management, and outdoor recreation access across the nation. This data release presents results from statistical summaries of the PAD-US 3.0...
Quality-Assurance and Quality-Control Data for Discrete Water-Quality Samples Collected in McHenry County, Illinois, 2020 Quality-Assurance and Quality-Control Data for Discrete Water-Quality Samples Collected in McHenry County, Illinois, 2020
In June and July of 2020, 45 groundwater wells in McHenry County, Illinois, were sampled for water quality (field properties, major ions, nutrients, and trace metals) and 12 wells were sampled for contaminants of emerging concern (pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and wastewater indicator compounds). Quality-assurance and quality-control samples were collected during the June and July 2020...
Groundwater Quality Data from the Lower Hudson, Chemung, and Eastern Lake Ontario River Basins, New York, 2018 Groundwater Quality Data from the Lower Hudson, Chemung, and Eastern Lake Ontario River Basins, New York, 2018
From July through November 2018, 48 environmental samples and four quality-control samples were collected throughout the Lower Hudson, Chemung, and Eastern Lake Ontario River Basins. Samples were collected from seven production wells and eight domestic wells in the Eastern Lake Ontario Basin, 13 production wells and 12 domestic wells in the Lower Hudson River Basin, and four production...
Time Series of Aerial Imagery derived Structure from Motion Products for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wildlife Refuges in Coastal Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, 2019 - 2022 Time Series of Aerial Imagery derived Structure from Motion Products for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wildlife Refuges in Coastal Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, 2019 - 2022
Aerial imagery acquired using a fixed wing aircraft fitted with Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) GPS, was processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques to produce high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) point clouds, orthomosaic images, and digital elevation models (DEMs). This dataset, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) MD-DE-DC Water Science Center...

Threat prioritization framework and input data for a multi-hazard risk analysis for the U.S. Department of the Interior Threat prioritization framework and input data for a multi-hazard risk analysis for the U.S. Department of the Interior
An integral part of disaster risk management is identifying and prioritizing hazards and their potential impacts in a meaningful way to support risk-reduction planning. There has been considerable use and subsequent criticism of threat prioritization efforts that simply compare likelihoods and consequences of plausible threats. This data supports an article that summarizes a new mixed...
