Landslide monitoring site installation details, geotechnical parameters, hydrologic time series data, and landslide locations from storms occurring between 25 December 2022 and 19 January 2023 in the San Francisco Bay area, California. Landslide monitoring site installation details, geotechnical parameters, hydrologic time series data, and landslide locations from storms occurring between 25 December 2022 and 19 January 2023 in the San Francisco Bay area, California.
This data release provides datasets supporting research on landslides triggered by a series of storms in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, that occurred between December 25, 2022, through January 19, 2023. During this period, eight atmospheric river storms delivered intense and prolonged rainfall across the region, leading to significant hydrological responses and widespread...
Molluscan Assemblages and Salinity Regimes from Three Southwest Coast Cores in Everglades National Park, Florida Molluscan Assemblages and Salinity Regimes from Three Southwest Coast Cores in Everglades National Park, Florida
Paleoecologic analyses of cores from the estuarine areas of Everglades National Park (ENP) by the U.S. Geological Survey began in the mid-1990s. Results of these analyses have contributed to an understanding of changes in salinity regimes, freshwater flow, and habitats of the Greater Everglades Ecosystem over the last several thousand years. Twentieth century changes to salinity and...
Model application: modeling lake ice phenology in Minnesota, 1980-2018 Model application: modeling lake ice phenology in Minnesota, 1980-2018
Globally, lakes are losing ice cover, but our understanding of the rates and variability of change are biased towards few lakes with long-term records. Recent works have used remote sensing and predictive modeling to supplement the observational record, but these approaches produce large errors when estimating ice phenology for individual lakes. Our associated manuscript explores machine...
Data in support of estimation of magnitude and frequency of floods for rural, unregulated streams in and near Virginia and West Virginia Data in support of estimation of magnitude and frequency of floods for rural, unregulated streams in and near Virginia and West Virginia
This data release contains the supporting datasets, tables, and geospatial information generated and analyzed in the 2025 flood-frequency study for Virginia and West Virginia. In this study, the magnitude and frequency of annual peak streamflows were estimated using the Expected Moments Algorithm for 813 streamgages on rural, unregulated streams in and near Virginia and West Virginia...
Lidar point cloud, raster, and RTK GNSS survey data for pre- and post-restoration of Ackerson Meadows, Yosemite National Park, California, USA Lidar point cloud, raster, and RTK GNSS survey data for pre- and post-restoration of Ackerson Meadows, Yosemite National Park, California, USA
A collection of lidar point cloud, raster, and real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system (RTK GNSS) survey data of Central and South Ackerson Meadow to aid in monitoring wetland meadow restoration. Uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) lidar collections were flown in June 2023 (before restoration), November 2023, and November 2024 (after restoration), with one forthcoming...
Physical and Biological Monitoring Data Collected from Restored Wetland Units at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, Saginaw, MI, USA (2022) Physical and Biological Monitoring Data Collected from Restored Wetland Units at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, Saginaw, MI, USA (2022)
These data describe water chemistry and fish, macroinvertebrate and vegetation communities within recently restored, historically-restored, and unrestored wetland management units of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge (SNWR; Michigan, USA). Data were collected in 2022 according to protocols and methods described in Curwin et al. 2023. These methods were developed through previous...
Physical and Biological Monitoring Data Collected from Restored Wetland Units at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, Saginaw, MI, USA (2021) Physical and Biological Monitoring Data Collected from Restored Wetland Units at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, Saginaw, MI, USA (2021)
These data describe water chemistry and fish, macroinvertebrate and vegetation communities within recently restored, historically-restored, and unrestored wetland management units of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge (SNWR; Michigan, USA). Data were collected in 2021 according to protocols and methods described in Conrad et al. 2022. These methods developed through previous years...
