Evaluation of benthic barrier layers/tarps for open water control of invasive mussels in 2024 in Loon Lake, Benzie Co., Michigan, USA Evaluation of benthic barrier layers/tarps for open water control of invasive mussels in 2024 in Loon Lake, Benzie Co., Michigan, USA
The study compared the survival of zebra mussels and benthic macroinvertebrates after a 5-day treatment with carbon dioxide infusion under a tarp and a benthic mat. The study was conducted on Loon Lake, Benzie County, Michigan within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The data include water quality (dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature) and water chemistry, zebra mussel mortality and...
Aerial Camera System Boresight Installation in Bassville Park, Florida Aerial Camera System Boresight Installation in Bassville Park, Florida
The US Geological Survey's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center, in coordination with the US Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Branch of Migratory Bird Surveys, worked to develop, survey, and deploy an advanced aerial photography boresight in the town of Bassville Park, Florida. The intention of this boresight is to provide an extensive array of high-accuracy ground control...
Associated Data for Mooneye tracking in the St. Croix River and Mississippi River from 2022-2024 Associated Data for Mooneye tracking in the St. Croix River and Mississippi River from 2022-2024
This study aimed to determine movement patterns of Mooneye in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (SACN) to better understand their range, seasonal behavior, spawning site fidelity, and co-occurrence with Spectaclecase. To our knowledge, Mooneye have never been tracked with acoustic transmitters. Prior to Mooneye trials, we conducted a Gizzard Shad pilot to ensure surgeries were...
Continuous dissolved oxygen and temperature data from 2009-2014 at multiple stations along the Portneuf River, Idaho USA Continuous dissolved oxygen and temperature data from 2009-2014 at multiple stations along the Portneuf River, Idaho USA
The Portneuf River sub basin is located in southeast Idaho, USA. The Portneuf River is approximately 100 miles long and drains an area of roughly 1,360 square miles. Five water quality monitoring stations along the Portneuf were measured for dissolved oxygen and water temperature from 2009 to 2014 as part of water quality assessments by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality...
Fish and Wildlife Service early detection and monitoring bigheaded carps data from the Upper Illinois River Fish and Wildlife Service early detection and monitoring bigheaded carps data from the Upper Illinois River
The Fish and Wildlife Service currently uses nets and electrofishing as part of their early detection and monitoring program in the Upper Illinois River for bigheaded carps. This dataset contains the sampling data and sampling attributes (such as water parameters for electrofishing or net length for gills). The sampling data is the binary presence/absence observations. This is that data...
Image and video catalog of the 2018 summit collapse and lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, Hawaii Image and video catalog of the 2018 summit collapse and lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, Hawaii
This data release contains an image and video catalog of the 2018 summit collapse and lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea volcano, on the Island of Hawaiʻi. An intrusion of magma into Kīlauea’s lower East Rift Zone resulted in a four-month-long eruption from May 3 to September 5, 2018 (Neal and others, 2018). The eruption produced lava flows that covered an area of 35.5 square...
