Water-tables Elevations and Other Well Construction Data for 2008 and 2016 in Eastern Albuquerque, New Mexico Water-tables Elevations and Other Well Construction Data for 2008 and 2016 in Eastern Albuquerque, New Mexico
The purpose of this data release is to present well location and construction data for select wells representing the water table in eastern Albuquerque and the selected groundwater-level measurements at the wells from the winters of 2008 and 2016. Construction and groundwater-level measurement data include screening intervals at the water table, reference elevation, depth to water in...
USGS Lake Erie East Harbor bottom trawl data series, 1961-2011 USGS Lake Erie East Harbor bottom trawl data series, 1961-2011
The USGS Lake Erie Biological Station's East Harbor sampling program began in 1961 with commissioning of the research vessel Musky II. It is the longest known continuous trawl survey in Lake Erie. In addition to spanning over 50 years, the data series is unique for three prominent design elements: 1) sampling was conducted at three depth strata; 2) replicate trawl samples were collected...

High forb diversity prairie reconstruction at Neal Smith NWR 2005-2015 High forb diversity prairie reconstruction at Neal Smith NWR 2005-2015
This data set consists of data collected during 2005-2007, 2010, and 2015 at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa, USA that were used in the analysis in support of the article titled "Toward improving pollinator habitat: Reconstructing prairies with high forb diversity," which has been submitted to Natural Areas Journal. We compared pollinator habitat, in terms of planted forb...
Water Velocity Magnitude and Direction Collected on May 8-9, 2019 at Select Breakwaters in Lake Erie at Presque Isle State Park, Erie, PA Water Velocity Magnitude and Direction Collected on May 8-9, 2019 at Select Breakwaters in Lake Erie at Presque Isle State Park, Erie, PA
Background: Presque Isle State Park (PISP), located in northwestern Pennsylvania, is located on a 3,127 acre peninsula that extends into Lake Erie. Approximately 7 miles long, PISP is a recurving sand spit where the width of the neck is less than 1,000 feet and the center, eastern end exceeds 1 mile. The park boundary extends 500 feet offshore around the perimeter of the peninsula. The...
Data on well characteristics and well-pair characteristics for estimating high groundwater levels in selected areas of Massachusetts Data on well characteristics and well-pair characteristics for estimating high groundwater levels in selected areas of Massachusetts
A method to estimate the probable high groundwater level in Massachusetts, excluding Cape Cod and the Islands was developed in 1981. The method, commonly called the "Frimpter Method," uses a groundwater measurement from a test site, groundwater measurements from an index well, and a distribution of high groundwater levels from wells in similar geologic and topographic settings.
