Data Releases

Estimates of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) are valuable for effective monitoring and management of water resources. In areas that lack a ground-based monitoring network, remote sensing allows for accurate and consistent estimates of ETa across a large spatial extent – though each algorithm has limitations (i.e., ground-based validation, temporal consistency, spatial resolution). We...

The U.S. Geological Survey simulated the drifts of grass carp eggs in the lower Sandusky River, Ohio, using the Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg) (Garcia and others, 2013; Zhu, 2019). The hydraulic inputs used in the FluEgg simulations were generated using a one-dimensional (1D) Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) 5.0.3 model of the lower Sandusky River (HEC...

This data release contains whole-rock geochemical analyses from drill cores and cuttings of pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks that are buried beneath Coastal Plain sedimentary deposits in Florida and Alabama. The analyses were acquired to support geologic mapping and characterization of little-known coastal-plain basement rock units for topical studies as in geochronology, and...

Three withdrawal scenarios spanning from 2014 through 2040 were simulated using a previously published three-dimensional groundwater flow model of the New Jersey Coastal Plain (NJCP) (Gordon and Carleton, 2023). This model, run in MODFLOW-2005 (version 1.12.00), was recently updated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) ensuring the models continued relevance for water-resource management...

Short-term 7-day ammonia and nickel toxicity tests were conducted with juvenile Fatmucket. This data release reports individual biological, chemical, and water quality measurements in each toxicity test.

Data were collected as part of a long-term capture-recapture program to assess the status and dynamics of populations of two long-lived, federally endangered catostomids in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon and Clear Lake Reservoir, California. Lost River suckers (LRS; Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (SNS; Chasmistes brevirostris) have been captured and tagged with passive integrated...

Macroinvertebrate and environmental data were collected annually in July-August in the year before dike removal (2009) and the first three years after dike removal (2010-2012) at the Nisqually River Delta, Washington, U.S.A. Data were collected along a gradient extending from the inner marsh edge to the delta front and spanning different types of habitat including marsh restored to tidal

This database contains documented observations of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in urban areas globally published between 2006 and June 2023. We systematically reviewed publications from Web of Science. To be included, studies needed to explicitly assess how at least one metric of biodiversity related to at least one ecosystem function and must have been...

This data release provides access to a low-altitude aeromagnetic survey flown over a part of the Cascade Range of the US Pacific Northwest, approximately centered over the town of Packwood, Washington. The Packwood magnetic survey surrounds but does not include the edifice of Mount Rainier, the highest (4392 m; 14,410 ft) volcano of the conterminous United States. Data were acquired...

2-m resolution bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data were collected during a July 2019 SWATHPlus survey of Ozette Lake, Washington. Data were collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) with fieldwork activity number 2019-622-FA. The 2-m data are provided as GeoTIFF images.

This data release contains materials related to the spheroid90gp software package, including pre-trained Gaussian Process emulators and model input files. The emulators predict cavity compressibility and surface displacements produced by pressure changes in a vertical spheroidal cavity embedded in an elastic halfspace. The methodology is documented in a journal publication (...

This metadata record serves as documentation for the bias adjusted version of the CONUS404 (CONtiguous United States for 40-years at 4-kilometer grid spacing) atmospheric forcing dataset; however this dataset has been revised to include 43 years of data at 1-kilometer grid spacing. This is a dataset of historical conditions (water years 1980-2022, October 1, 1979-September 30, 2022) and...
