Louisiana Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program – 2021 habitat map, Early Lafourche Delta Region Louisiana Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program – 2021 habitat map, Early Lafourche Delta Region
The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring Program (SWAMP). The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands...

Prospectivity and Extractability Modeling of Ni-Co Laterite in the Josephine Peridotite, California and Oregon, USA, from Historical and Modern Sources Prospectivity and Extractability Modeling of Ni-Co Laterite in the Josephine Peridotite, California and Oregon, USA, from Historical and Modern Sources
This dataset consists of a 200m raster suitability model for the extraction of nickel laterite in the northern California/southern Oregon, USA region. The primary model is composited from three equally weighted submodels: the relative probability of nickel laterite to be present within the study area (prospectivity); environmental and legal considerations associated with traditional...
Inventory of fluvial erosion and debris-flow activity following the 2020 Dolan Fire, California Inventory of fluvial erosion and debris-flow activity following the 2020 Dolan Fire, California
This data release is a geospatial record of flooding and debris-flow activity following the 2020 Dolan Fire along the central California coast. The postfire hydrologic responses documented here (“Inventory.csv”) are associated with a January 27, 2021, atmospheric river storm that hosted a narrow cold-frontal rain band, which produced intense rainfall over the burned area. Each entry in...
Illinois River Basin Streambed Sediment Phosphorus Dynamics, 2024 Illinois River Basin Streambed Sediment Phosphorus Dynamics, 2024
The Illinois River receives nutrients from point and non-point runoff from upstream urban and agricultural areas. These excess nutrients could be contributing to harmful algal blooms in the Illinois River and its tributaries. Successfully mitigating the blooms requires an understanding of the underlying nutrient processes occurring in the river. Phosphorus is often the nutrient that...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in produced water from the Denver Basin Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in produced water from the Denver Basin
Per- and polyfluoroaklyl substances (PFAS) of are of interest due to their persistence and ubiquity in the environment and their potential health and environmental effects. While these compounds have been well studied in the past 10 years, little is known about PFAS in oil and gas produced waters, which are voluminous and have the potential to impact the environment through surficial...
