Hydrogeophysical, water quality, and stream tracer data collected along the Lake Fork Creek corridor and wetland area in Leadville, Colorado, 2023 and 2024 Hydrogeophysical, water quality, and stream tracer data collected along the Lake Fork Creek corridor and wetland area in Leadville, Colorado, 2023 and 2024
Multiple sources of mine drainage including discharge from the abandoned Dinero mine tunnel and two gulches flow into a wetland, known herein as the Dinero wetland along the Lake Fork Creek corridor. The Dinero wetland is approximately xx acres in extent. The Dinero wetland is being considered as a location for passive treatment of the mine drainage flowing through it. As such, study...

This release includes lidar point cloud and Wolman pebble count data for a debris-flow deposit in Glenwood Canyon, CO. The data, FullDepositRegion.las (las 1.2), were collected with a terrestrial laser scanner and includes the full deposit and portions of the slope and drainage that generated the debris flow. This .las file includes point cloud data up to 250 m upslope of the deposit...
Upper Colorado River Basin Accumulated Wastewater Ratios and PFAS Model Predictions (ver. 2.0, August 2025) Upper Colorado River Basin Accumulated Wastewater Ratios and PFAS Model Predictions (ver. 2.0, August 2025)
A wastewater reuse model was applied to the Upper Colorado River basin to assess the (1) percent of accumulated wastewater (ACCWW%) from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in each initialized (that is, has an assigned hydrosequence number for flow-routing) National Hydrography Dataset Version 2.1 (NHDPlus V2.1) stream segment; and (2) predicted environmental
Performance maps, weights, and associated data sets for Version 2.0 of the OpenET evapotranspiration models for the conterminous U.S. Performance maps, weights, and associated data sets for Version 2.0 of the OpenET evapotranspiration models for the conterminous U.S.
This data release provides maps of estimated performance metrics for the remotely sensed evapotranspiration (ET) models within the OpenET ensemble, at the scale of the conterminous U.S. (CONUS). It also provides relative weight maps for each of the ensemble models that can be used to produce performance-weighted ensemble estimates. These maps are provided at a 4 kilometer spatial...
Survey Data for Siskiyou Mountains Salamanders (Plethodon stormi) and Scott Bar Salamanders (P. asupak) in Siskiyou County, California, 2023-2024 Survey Data for Siskiyou Mountains Salamanders (Plethodon stormi) and Scott Bar Salamanders (P. asupak) in Siskiyou County, California, 2023-2024
These data contain information about the sites, visits, and transects surveyed for Siskiyou Mountains salamanders (Plethodon stormi) and Scott Bar salamanders (P. asupak) in Siskiyou County, California, 2023-2024. The survey sites were near locations of recent (since 2005) historical occurrence of the salamanders and were designed to separate occurrence, availability on the surface, and...

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of undiscovered continuous oil and gas resources in the Phosphoria total petroleum system of the Southwestern Wyoming Province, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil...
Elevation data to support estimations of stored sediment depths and volume in a beaver pond along Fanno Creek, western Oregon, 2016 Elevation data to support estimations of stored sediment depths and volume in a beaver pond along Fanno Creek, western Oregon, 2016
Elevation-at-refusal (EAR) data were collected in May and September 2016 in conjunction with a comprehensive bed-elevation survey (White, 2025; methods described in White and others, 2025) to estimate the depth and total volume of sediment stored in a beaver pond along Fanno Creek, western Oregon. The EAR.csv file consists of points with xy coordinate and z elevation data. A stadia rod...
Data used to assess differences in shedding of environmental DNA between living fish and carcasses Data used to assess differences in shedding of environmental DNA between living fish and carcasses
These data were generated from a five-day laboratory study that compared environmental DNA (eDNA) concentrations derived from live and dead rainbow trout (Oncorhychus mykiss) to investigate how eDNA shedding differs between live and dead fish. Live and dead fish were each housed in separate tanks and eDNA samples were collected from each tank after 1, 2, 3, and 5 days. Additionally...
