Elevations of Glacial Dammed Lakes Measured by the Surface Water Ocean Topography Satellite from April 2023 through May 2025 (updated 2025-08-19) Elevations of Glacial Dammed Lakes Measured by the Surface Water Ocean Topography Satellite from April 2023 through May 2025 (updated 2025-08-19)
This dataset contains satellite-derived information on lake elevations for selected glacial dammed lakes (GDLs) monitored by the National Weather Service Alaska-Pacific River Forecasting Center in Anchorage, Alaska, as well as several Alaska lakes collocated with monitoring gages. The lake elevation data are derived from satellite-observed water surface elevations from the Surface Water...
Underwater measurements of photosynthetically active radiation from 2021 Lake Michigan CSMI survey Underwater measurements of photosynthetically active radiation from 2021 Lake Michigan CSMI survey
Underwater measurements of photosynthetically active radiation were collected along multiple transects throughout Lake Michigan during the 2021 cooperative science monitoring initiative survey of the lake. These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify the water transparency of the lake. The data included in this release provide the percent of photosynthetically active...
Data for the study of off-channel habitat use by silver carp and bighead carp in the upper Mississippi River 2017–2018 Data for the study of off-channel habitat use by silver carp and bighead carp in the upper Mississippi River 2017–2018
This dataset accompanies the article "Off-channel habitat use by silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis) in the upper Mississippi River". Acoustic telemetry data (Innovasea, Inc.) were collected on invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) in Pools 17-19 of the upper Mississippi River to examine timing...
Data for East Coast and Upper Midwest PFAS study sites Data for East Coast and Upper Midwest PFAS study sites
Concentrations of Total40 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS), and Total13 PFAS were consistently higher at the AFFF sites compared to the two East Coast reference sites in tree swallow eggs, nestlings, and diet by as much as a factor of 40 times higher. Sites in the Upper Midwest with other PFAS sources also had
