The data release consists of two companion air and water temperature datasets collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) program with data from both the Little Lehigh and White Clay Creek Watersheds in the Delaware River Basin. Data consists of 15-minute temperature data during the 7/2021 – 12/2022 study period for 21 air and 49...
Vascular plant data collected at the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND, USA in 1996 Vascular plant data collected at the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND, USA in 1996
This data release contains three data sets. The data were collected in 1996 at the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND, USA. The main data set comprises the list of plant species observed and includes the transect, plot number, plot size, and vegetation type where each species was found. A second data set has the locations of the transects, along with their IDs which can...
Reflectance spectra collected August 21, 2022, at Black Rock Desert, Nevada, with an ASD FieldSpecⓇ 4 Hi-Res NG spectroradiometer for calibration/validation of imaging spectrometer data Reflectance spectra collected August 21, 2022, at Black Rock Desert, Nevada, with an ASD FieldSpecⓇ 4 Hi-Res NG spectroradiometer for calibration/validation of imaging spectrometer data
Reflectance data were collected using Malvern Panalytical ASD FieldSpec® 4 Hi-Res NG Spectroradiometers with custom VNIR gratings (hereafter referred to as ASD spectrometers) on August 21, 2022, at a field site on Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA.

Marsh Vegetation Surveys Across the San Francisco Bay Estuary, 2008-2018 Marsh Vegetation Surveys Across the San Francisco Bay Estuary, 2008-2018
Fifty-one tidal marsh sites across five regions (sub-embayments) were surveyed in the Delta, Suisun Bay, San Pablo Bay, central San Francisco Bay, and South San Francisco Bay. Vegetation surveys spanned ten years, from July 2008 to January 2018. A total of 5,112 plots were surveyed. Plots were positioned on transects along an elevation gradient and evenly distributed across each site...
Data release: early warning indicators for harmful algal bloom assessments in the Illinois River, 2013 - 2020 Data release: early warning indicators for harmful algal bloom assessments in the Illinois River, 2013 - 2020
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have recently been observed in rivers, including the Illinois River in the Midwest United States. The Illinois River Basin has a history of eutrophication issues, primarily caused by the excessive loading of nitrogen and phosphorus from urban and agricultural sources. Recent events have seen the emergence of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms in the area...
