Multibeam line files from Cross Sound, Alaska collected during USGS field activity 2015-629-FA Multibeam line files from Cross Sound, Alaska collected during USGS field activity 2015-629-FA
In 2015 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) collected bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data offshore Cross Sound in southeast Alaska using an Reson 7111 multibeam echosounder mounded to the ADFG R/V Solstice. The survey was conducted to map the offshore expression of the...
Hydrologic scenarios and ecological model output used to explore potential sea-level rise scenarios on ecological models used in Everglades restoration planning Hydrologic scenarios and ecological model output used to explore potential sea-level rise scenarios on ecological models used in Everglades restoration planning
One of the largest and most expensive restoration efforts in the world is occurring in the Everglades, a sub-tropical freshwater wetland system located in southern Florida. This unique ecosystem supports several endemic and endangered species, provides flood control for Florida’s large urban population, and provides water for both agriculture and drinking supply within the state. The...
Mauna Kea Palila Egg Harvest 1996 Mauna Kea Palila Egg Harvest 1996
This data release includes data and metadata documenting the removal of eggs from wild palila (Loxioides bailleui) nests to stimulate wild renesting while hatching the harvested eggs and rearing the chicks in captivity for later release to the wild. Some eggs were not harvested and were monitored in the wild for hatching and resulting progeny. The data provides details related to the...
Amino Acid Imprinted Cisco Behavioral Data, 2017-2021 Amino Acid Imprinted Cisco Behavioral Data, 2017-2021
4+ year old cisco (Coregonus artedi) pre-spawn and spawning/near-spawning behavioral data were collected and compiled at the Tunison Laboratory of Aquatic Science in Cortland, NY USA, between August-October 2021 and November-December 2021. Data are comprised of fish reactions in choice flume video data (attractance/avoidance). Cisco were exposed/not exposed to an imprinting chemical...
Satellite-derived shorelines for the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington for the period 1984-2023, obtained using CoastSat Satellite-derived shorelines for the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington for the period 1984-2023, obtained using CoastSat
This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery for two states (Oregon, and Washington) along the U.S. Pacific coast for the time period 1984 to 2023. An open-source toolbox, CoastSat (Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b), was used to classify coastal Landsat imagery and detect shorelines at the sub-pixel scale. Resulting shorelines are presented in...
USGS CoastCam at Dorado, Puerto Rico: 2022-2023 Calibration Data USGS CoastCam at Dorado, Puerto Rico: 2022-2023 Calibration Data
Two digital video cameras were installed at Dorado, Puerto Rico (PR); camera 1 faced west alongshore and camera 2 faced northeast alongshore. Every hour during daylight hours, daily starting in August 2022, the cameras collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This data release includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation...
