Growth and survival of a Unionid Mussel (Fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea) during Chronic Exposures Evaluating pH Effects on Ammonia Growth and survival of a Unionid Mussel (Fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea) during Chronic Exposures Evaluating pH Effects on Ammonia
This data set contains toxicity data from short term 7-day chronic water-only bioassays to assess the effects pH on ammonia toxicity to survival and growth of a juvenile fatmucket mussel (Lampsilis siliquoidea). We conducted 4 concurrent exposures at nominal pHs of 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, and 8.5 with varying ranges of ammonia to capture effect concentrations. This data set has three tables: (1)...
Cattle Habitat Selection Index for the Great Basin region in the western United States Cattle Habitat Selection Index for the Great Basin region in the western United States
We collected cattle GPS location data within three sites across the Great Basin ecoregion. We then coupled these data with multi-resolution remotely sensed vegetation, hydrology, and topographic data to develop a cattle resource selection surface across Nevada and northeastern California. This layer can support grazing management through targeted or rotational grazing by providing a...
Photographs and photomicrographs of selected pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks beneath the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains in Florida Photographs and photomicrographs of selected pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks beneath the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains in Florida
This data release contains photographs and photomicrographs from drill cores and cuttings of pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks that are buried beneath Coastal Plain sedimentary deposits in Florida. These samples provide rare insights into deeply buried rocks that have no surface exposures and no known exposed correlates. These images were acquired to support the characterization...
Mineral abundances of selected pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks beneath the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains in Florida and Alabama from whole-rock powder X-ray diffraction analysis and the Rietveld method Mineral abundances of selected pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks beneath the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains in Florida and Alabama from whole-rock powder X-ray diffraction analysis and the Rietveld method
This data release reports the mineral abundances in samples of pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks from twenty-nine (29) boreholes in Florida and southern Alabama. Mineral abundances are quantified from whole-rock powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and the Rietveld method and are reported in weight percent or, where present near the detection limit (~1 wt.% depending on mineral), as...
Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP) Fractional Component Time-Series Across Western North America from 1985-2024 Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP) Fractional Component Time-Series Across Western North America from 1985-2024
The RCMAP (Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection) dataset quantifies the percent cover of rangeland components across western North America using Landsat imagery from 1985-2024. The RCMAP product suite consists of ten fractional components: annual herbaceous, bare ground, herbaceous, litter, non-sagebrush shrub, perennial herbaceous, sagebrush, shrub, tree, and shrub...
Geochemical and isotopic data for soils and sediments from the Clear Lake drainage basin, Lake County, California (ver. 2.0, August 2025) Geochemical and isotopic data for soils and sediments from the Clear Lake drainage basin, Lake County, California (ver. 2.0, August 2025)
This dataset includes geochemical, isotopic, and particle-size data for soil and sediment samples collected at approximately 500 sites in the Clear Lake drainage basin, Lake County, California, between November 2021 and December 2023. Data are also reported for ten soil samples collected during October 2018 soon after the Ranch Fire in the upper Scotts Creek watershed. Samples of lakebed...
Digitized and Derivative Potentiometric Surface Datasets for the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer Extent of Eastern Arkansas, Predevelopment to 2008 Digitized and Derivative Potentiometric Surface Datasets for the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer Extent of Eastern Arkansas, Predevelopment to 2008
The Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA) in eastern Arkansas is a major source of groundwater for public, industrial, agricultural, and aquaculture uses. Estimated withdrawals from the MRVA increased from 1,063 million gallons per day in 1965 (Halberg and Stephens, 1966) to 7,252 million gallons per day in 2005 (Holland, 2007). Potentiometric-surface maps, which represent the...
National-scale dataset of strontium isotope compositions in environmental materials for the United States National-scale dataset of strontium isotope compositions in environmental materials for the United States
This database contains published strontium isotopic ratios (87Sr/86Sr) and associated sample collection data for strontium dissolved in environmental waters for the United States (conterminous, Hawaii, Alaska, and coastal seawater). Samples included in this version were collected and analyzed between 1963 to 2022.
Chirp Sub-Bottom Profile Geophysical Data Collected in 2024 Offshore of Breton Island, Louisiana Chirp Sub-Bottom Profile Geophysical Data Collected in 2024 Offshore of Breton Island, Louisiana
As part of the Breton Island Post Construction Monitoring project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted a nearshore geophysical survey in August 2024 to map the borrow site created during the Breton Island, Louisiana (LA) restoration effort that began in December 2020. The restoration effort was part of the Deepwater...
Salinity and Temperature Data for South Florida Estuarine Mollusks (1994-present) Salinity and Temperature Data for South Florida Estuarine Mollusks (1994-present)
The Salinity and Temperature Data for South Florida Estuarine Mollusks (1994-present) database contains salinity and temperature readings from modern monitoring sites where live mollusks were observed during fieldwork performed from 1994 to present, salinity and temperature summary statistical data for each species, and location information about the sites where the monitoring data were...
Gage Height, Turbidity, and Acoustic Backscatter Data Collected During Experimental Sediment Release from Willwood Dam on the Shoshone River in Park County, Wyoming, April 11-13, 2023 Gage Height, Turbidity, and Acoustic Backscatter Data Collected During Experimental Sediment Release from Willwood Dam on the Shoshone River in Park County, Wyoming, April 11-13, 2023
The Willwood Working Group Two of Wyoming conducted an experimental sediment release from Willwood Dam from April 11-13, 2023. The experiment involved opening sluice gates at the base of Willwood Dam to draw down the dam pool which created energy to mobilize sediment deposits behind the dam. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation released up to 4,000 cubic feet per second from Buffalo Bill Dam...
