USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Phosphoria Total Petroleum System, Southwestern Wyoming Province: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Tables, and Fact Sheet Data Tables USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Phosphoria Total Petroleum System, Southwestern Wyoming Province: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Tables, and Fact Sheet Data Tables
This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of undiscovered continuous oil and gas resources in the Phosphoria total petroleum system of the Southwestern Wyoming Province, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil...
Elevation data to support estimations of stored sediment depths and volume in a beaver pond along Fanno Creek, western Oregon, 2016 Elevation data to support estimations of stored sediment depths and volume in a beaver pond along Fanno Creek, western Oregon, 2016
Elevation-at-refusal (EAR) data were collected in May and September 2016 in conjunction with a comprehensive bed-elevation survey (White, 2025; methods described in White and others, 2025) to estimate the depth and total volume of sediment stored in a beaver pond along Fanno Creek, western Oregon. The EAR.csv file consists of points with xy coordinate and z elevation data. A stadia rod...
Data used to assess differences in shedding of environmental DNA between living fish and carcasses Data used to assess differences in shedding of environmental DNA between living fish and carcasses
These data were generated from a five-day laboratory study that compared environmental DNA (eDNA) concentrations derived from live and dead rainbow trout (Oncorhychus mykiss) to investigate how eDNA shedding differs between live and dead fish. Live and dead fish were each housed in separate tanks and eDNA samples were collected from each tank after 1, 2, 3, and 5 days. Additionally...
Basin characteristics for 154 urban streamgage sites across the Mid-Atlantic U.S. Basin characteristics for 154 urban streamgage sites across the Mid-Atlantic U.S.
This data was created to support the Washington D.C. StreamStats project funded by the Washington D.C. Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE). This dataset contains basin characteristics for 154 urban streamflow gaging stations (streamgages) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia...
Functional changes in cecal microbiome of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) experimentally exposed to sublethal doses of Microcystin-LR Functional changes in cecal microbiome of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) experimentally exposed to sublethal doses of Microcystin-LR
The frequency of cyanobacterial blooms appears to have increased globally in recent decades due to human induced eutrophication and climate change. Cyanobacterial blooms can produce several groups of toxins, among which microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most abundant. Effects of MC-LR on avian microbiome have not been studied and studies in laboratory murines are limited to...
Data for Analysis of Factors Affecting Success of Dorsally Mounted Trackers in 37 Species of Shorebirds Data for Analysis of Factors Affecting Success of Dorsally Mounted Trackers in 37 Species of Shorebirds
This dataset includes details of 2,745 tracking devices (hereafter "trackers") deployed on shorebirds, including traits of the tags, traits of the shorebirds, and locations of the field sites. The dataset was used in the accompanying paper to evaluate how factors affected "success" of each tag package (tracker + attachment to the bird), where "success" was defined as whether the tag...
