MapMark4 Shiny: A self-contained implementation of the MapMark4 R package MapMark4 Shiny: A self-contained implementation of the MapMark4 R package
MapMark4 Shiny is a self-contained R Shiny app designed for quantitative mineral resource assessments. The target audience consists of practitioners of the three-part mineral resource assessment methodology (Singer and Menzie, 2010). The app performs calculations needed to combine information from grade-tonnage models with estimates of undiscovered deposits within permissive tracts. The...

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for three large-bodied gull species and hybrids (Larus species) utilizing coastal areas of Alaska. Child Item 1: "Argos and GPS Satellite Tracking Data for Three Large-Bodied Gull Species and Hybrids (Larus spp.) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos and Argos-linked GPS satellite transmitters.
Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Concentrations in Polar Bear Hair and Prey from the Alaska Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, 1978-2019 Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Concentrations in Polar Bear Hair and Prey from the Alaska Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, 1978-2019
This dataset includes carbon and nitrogen isotope concentrations measured in polar bear hair and marine mammal prey samples collected 1978-2017 in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. Marine mammal prey samples were collected opportunistically either from polar bear seal kill sites or from marine mammals harvested by Native hunters. Hair was collected from polar bears captured on the sea ice...
Fatty Acid Composition of Polar Bear Adipose Tissue and Ringed and Bearded Seal Blubber Collected in the Chukchi Sea, 2008-2017 Fatty Acid Composition of Polar Bear Adipose Tissue and Ringed and Bearded Seal Blubber Collected in the Chukchi Sea, 2008-2017
These data are the fatty acid compositions (in percent) of adipose tissue samples collected from polar bears and of blubber samples collected from ringed and bearded seal killed by polar bears in the Chukchi Sea, 2008-2017. The dataset includes sex, age, and age class of the bears that were sampled. The data are provided as percent of each fatty acid identified via nomenclature that...
Alakai Plateau, Kauai, and Volcano Village,Hawaii biopesticides and traps for the control of Culex quinquefasciatus, 2017-2018 Alakai Plateau, Kauai, and Volcano Village,Hawaii biopesticides and traps for the control of Culex quinquefasciatus, 2017-2018
This USGS data release consists of seven data sets and accompanying metadata for studies on the efficacy of adult mosquito traps and lures for monitoring populations of the invasive mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus and the efficacy of the biopesticide VectoMax FG for control of larval Culex quinquefasciatus in Hawaiian forest bird habitat. Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector of the avian...
Field measurements of flow depth and optical image sequences acquired from the Salcha River, Alaska, on July 25, 2019 Field measurements of flow depth and optical image sequences acquired from the Salcha River, Alaska, on July 25, 2019
This data release includes field measurements of flow depth and optical image sequences acquired from the Salcha River in Alaska on July 25, 2019. These data were used to develop and test a spectrally based remote sensing technique for estimating water depth from passive optical image data. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of inferring water depths from optical...
