Geochemistry of the Leatherwood coal in eastern Kentucky Geochemistry of the Leatherwood coal in eastern Kentucky
The Middle Pennsylvanian (Bolsovian) Leatherwood coal in central eastern Kentucky is a moderately thick (up to >1.6 m in the sites examined in this study) coal bed that has been one of the major sources of electricity in the region. To document and understand the organic petrology and inorganic chemistry of the Leatherwood coal, geologists from the University of Kentucky Center for...
Global compilation of published gas hydrate-related bottom simulating reflections Global compilation of published gas hydrate-related bottom simulating reflections
Bottom simulating reflections (BSRs) are seismic features that are imaged in marine sediments using high-energy, impulsive seismic sources such as air guns or generator-injector guns. BSRs often cut across sediment stratigraphy and are interpreted as marking the deepest depth at which gas hydrate can exist. Gas hydrate is a naturally occurring and widely distributed frozen form of water...
Lower St. Croix River Steady State Hydraulic Inputs for FluOil Workshop Lower St. Croix River Steady State Hydraulic Inputs for FluOil Workshop
This data release contains steady-state hydraulic input files for the FluOil model (Zhu and others, 2022) that describe the lower St. Croix River between St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and Stillwater, Minnesota. These files are derived from the results of a steady-state one dimensional (1D) hydraulic model of the river reach at three discharges (10,000, 20,000, and 35,000 cubic feet per...
Maine StreamStats Foundation Data Layers Maine StreamStats Foundation Data Layers
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Maine Department of Transportation, has compiled a series of GIS datasets to be implemented into the USGS StreamStats application for the State of Maine.These data were compiled from the high-resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and the Maine Lidar-Derived Watersheds (Sturtevant and Schoen, 2022). By using these datasets...
PIT Tags Encountered by Klamath Falls Field Station Equipment in the Upper Klamath Basin PIT Tags Encountered by Klamath Falls Field Station Equipment in the Upper Klamath Basin
Data were collected as part of a long-term capture-recapture program to assess the status and dynamics of populations of two long-lived, federally endangered catostomids in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon and Clear Lake Reservoir, California. Lost River suckers (LRS; Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (SNS; Chasmistes brevirostris) have been captured and tagged with passive integrated...
The U.S. Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat): A Database and Interactive Tool for Inland Fisheries Management and Research (Depreciated April 2023) The U.S. Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat): A Database and Interactive Tool for Inland Fisheries Management and Research (Depreciated April 2023)
The U.S. Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat) contains data compiled from 14,766 creel and angler surveys conducted by state natural resource management agencies (including Washington DC and Puerto Rico) in inland waters across the United States. Data is are contained in eight .csv files which contain information about survey characteristics (Survey_Data.csv), angler effort...
