Volcanic Gas Measurements at Mount Cleveland, Alaska 2016 Volcanic Gas Measurements at Mount Cleveland, Alaska 2016
On 25 July 2016, helicopter-based measurements were made of the volcanic gases emitted from Mount Cleveland, Alaska, USA. An upward-looking differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) system was used to measure incident scattered solar ultraviolet radiation while traversing beneath the plume on multiple occasions. These data were used to derive volcanic SO2 emission rates...
Geospatial Database of the Study Boundaries, Sampled Sites, Watersheds, and Riparian Zones for the U.S. Geological Survey Regional Stream Quality Assessment Geospatial Database of the Study Boundaries, Sampled Sites, Watersheds, and Riparian Zones for the U.S. Geological Survey Regional Stream Quality Assessment
In 2013, the Regional Stream Quality Assessment (RSQA) study was started as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) project. One of the objectives of the RSQA is to characterize the relationships between water-quality stressors and stream ecology and subsequently determine the relative effects of these stressors on aquatic biota within the...
DIDSON video collection of Coastal Lake Erie Wetland, Lucas Co, Ohio in 2011 DIDSON video collection of Coastal Lake Erie Wetland, Lucas Co, Ohio in 2011
The data set includes quantitative fish abundance counts estimated from video data files collected by a Dual-frequency IDentification SONar (DIDSON) placed at the junction of a water control structure located between Pool 2B and Crane Creek (41.62133N, -83.20769W) within Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (Lucas County, Ohio). One-hour-long video data files were used to estimate fish...
Otolith chemistry of fishes in Rodeo Lagoon, Marin County, California, 2016 Otolith chemistry of fishes in Rodeo Lagoon, Marin County, California, 2016
The dataset includes multiple file types (CSV, ArcGIS shapefiles, and images), data relates to the elemental analysis of fish otoliths. Otoliths examined in this study were from randomly-sampled individual Tidewater Goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi) and Prickly Sculpin (Cottus asper) from the adult population of Rodeo Lagoon and Rodeo Creek, Marin County, California. The fish were collected...

This dataset includes field data for fishes sampled using mid-water trawls and the SmeltCam during daylight hours in the Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta, California. Sampling took place between February 8, 2016 and March 1, 2016. This data release includes all measured environmental parameters and fish taxa collected during sampling event.
Water-level and well-discharge data related to aquifer testing in Wet Mountain Valley, Colorado, 2019 Water-level and well-discharge data related to aquifer testing in Wet Mountain Valley, Colorado, 2019
Short-term aquifer tests were conducted to estimate hydraulic properties in an alluvial aquifer. Tests included eight single-hole pumping and recovery tests and three slug tests (in a single well). These investigations were conducted in the Wet Mountain Valley, in Custer and Fremont Counties, Colorado. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted aquifer tests in May, 2019. These aquifer...
