Assessing Angler Honesty in Citizen Science, angler reported length data across North America from 2023-2025 Assessing Angler Honesty in Citizen Science, angler reported length data across North America from 2023-2025
This data release contains measurement‑accuracy information derived from angler‑reported fish lengths submitted through a smartphone mobile application. The dataset includes records from multiple fishing events across the United States and Canada in which participating anglers self‑reported total length (TL) for each catch. Lengths were subsequently reviewed and verified by app staff...
Ground temperature data of Barter Island bluffs collected in 2016 Ground temperature data of Barter Island bluffs collected in 2016
Thermistor strings with sensors spaced at 25-centimeter intervals were installed in three boreholes extending from the ground surface to depths of up to 4.25 meters at Barter Island, Alaska. The sites were located near the bluff edge overlooking the open Beaufort Sea coast. Temperature measurements were programmed to be collected hourly from late spring through early fall in 2016 (May 31...
Cinder Lake Crater Field Uncrewed Aerial System-Derived Digital Elevation Models 2023 and 2024 Cinder Lake Crater Field Uncrewed Aerial System-Derived Digital Elevation Models 2023 and 2024
Uncrewed aerial system (UAS) imagery was collected over Cinder Lake Crater Field near Flagstaff, Arizona, a training site constructed in the late 1960s as a lunar analog site for Apollo astronauts and continues to serve as an operational analog environment. The DEM supports terrain analysis, visualization, illumination modeling, and mission simulation activities associated with planetary...
Clast composition, flow direction, and U-Pb detrital zircon results from modern and ancestral rivers near Lewiston Basin, Washington and Idaho Clast composition, flow direction, and U-Pb detrital zircon results from modern and ancestral rivers near Lewiston Basin, Washington and Idaho
This data release is companion to a manuscript entitled: "Long-term intermittent connection between the western Snake River Plain and Columbia Basin: a two-phased incision history of Hells Canyon". Here, we report the measured flow direction and compositions of clasts and detrital zircon U-Pb ages from samples collected from modern and ancestral rivers near the Lewiston Basin region. The...
Riverine Surface Water Pesticide Concentrations, Detection Frequencies, Benchmark Exceedances, and Trends for the Conterminous United States, 2013-2022 Riverine Surface Water Pesticide Concentrations, Detection Frequencies, Benchmark Exceedances, and Trends for the Conterminous United States, 2013-2022
The data tables in this product include concentrations, detection frequencies, benchmark exceedances, and trends of pesticides in riverine surface water samples. The data are a product of a national-scale assessment of the status and trends of 84 pesticides at 81 sites during water years 2013 - 2022 conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Program. Data were...
Vegetation composition, soil characteristics, horizontal mass flux, and weather data (2018-2024) from a dryland reclamation experiment at a former uranium mine in northern Arizona, USA Vegetation composition, soil characteristics, horizontal mass flux, and weather data (2018-2024) from a dryland reclamation experiment at a former uranium mine in northern Arizona, USA
These data were compiled as part of an experimental study investigating alternative methods to dryland reclamation. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effects of conventional vs alternative approaches alone and in combination that included different seeding methods, seed mixes, and biological soil crust (biocrust) inoculation. These data were collected within the footprint of...
