A dataset of hydrologic extremes transitions across the conterminous United States, 1981–2024 A dataset of hydrologic extremes transitions across the conterminous United States, 1981–2024
This data release provides datasets for the conterminous United States (CONUS), characterizing rapid transitions between hydrological extremes, drought-to-flood (DtF) and flood-to-drought (FtD), over 1981–2024. The datasets include event catalogs, transition catalogs, and comparison tables used to assess prevalence, timing, rapidity, and impactfulness of hydrologic transitions and their...
Integrated streamflow, water presence, and meteorological drivers for stream network modeling in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest Integrated streamflow, water presence, and meteorological drivers for stream network modeling in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest
This data release provides integrated datasets for modeling streamflow and water presence across the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest stream network in western Oregon. The data include daily meteorological drivers from GRIDMET (precipitation, temperature, humidity, radiation, wind speed, evapotranspiration, vapor pressure deficit), observations of stream discharge and wet/dry status from...
Laboratory-based optical measurements for water samples collected from fixed monitoring stations within the Upper Colorado River and Illinois River basins Laboratory-based optical measurements for water samples collected from fixed monitoring stations within the Upper Colorado River and Illinois River basins
Surface water samples were collected from two basins included in the Next Generation Water Observing System network. Six sites were within the Upper Colorado (UCOL) basin, of which three sites (Fraser River at Tabernash, 09027100; Colorado River at Windy Gap, 09034250; Colorado River near Cameo, 09095500) were equipped with Turner Designs C6P fluorometers for continuous fluorescence...
Biological and Chemical Findings Associated with Melanoma and Other Melanistic Lesions in Brown Bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus from Selected Northeast United States and Quebec Waterbodies Biological and Chemical Findings Associated with Melanoma and Other Melanistic Lesions in Brown Bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus from Selected Northeast United States and Quebec Waterbodies
Brown bullhead were collected from seven sites in Lake Memphremagog in Vermont and Quebec, Hermon Pond in Maine and Village Pond in New Hampshire. Both visibly normal and lesioned adult bullhead were collected at each site. Biological data collected included length, weight, sex, age, condition factor and presence or absence of non-raised and raised black lesions. Plasma from five sites...
Upper Mississippi River Pool 8 Large Wood Sampling Areas for 2023 High-Flow Event Upper Mississippi River Pool 8 Large Wood Sampling Areas for 2023 High-Flow Event
Large wood is an important part of ecosystem functions in rivers around the world, including serving as fish habitat, providing nutrient sources, and contributing to geomorphic processes. This dataset was produced to support the study of large wood dynamics in Pool 8 of the Upper Mississippi River System. The dataset contains 60 polygons located along shoreline of the main channel, side...
Texas Black Bass Observations and Blotchy Bass Syndrome Measurements Collected by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 2011–2023 Texas Black Bass Observations and Blotchy Bass Syndrome Measurements Collected by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 2011–2023
This data release contains quality controlled records of citizen submitted observations of black bass (Micropterus spp.) provided to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) through public angler reporting programs. TPWD biologists reviewed, standardized, and anonymized these submissions before sharing the dataset with the U.S. Geological Survey for regional analysis of Blotchy...
