Preliminary Digital Database for the Portola 30' x 60' Geologic and Geophysical Map, California Preliminary Digital Database for the Portola 30' x 60' Geologic and Geophysical Map, California
This geospatial dataset compiles, in digital form, geologic and geophysical data for the Portola 30’x 60’ quadrangle, located in the northern Sierra Nevada, California. This geologic map of the Portola 30’x 60’ quadrangle integrates decades of published and unpublished mapping in the northern Sierra Nevada. In conjunction with geophysical data, including more than 1000 new gravity...
Historical sea turtle relocation trawling data in the southeast U.S. (1991 - 2024) Historical sea turtle relocation trawling data in the southeast U.S. (1991 - 2024)
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wetlands Aquatic Research Center worked alongside the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to amalgamate over three decades of relocation trawling records. It is USACE's mission to provide safe, reliable, efficient , and environmentally sustainable waterborne transportation systems (channels, harbors, and...
Estimated aquifer distribution for private-domestic wells; estimated spatial distribution of the self-supplied domestic population for 2020 and 2010; and estimated monthly self-supplied domestic withdrawals of groundwater for the Virginia Coastal Plain Estimated aquifer distribution for private-domestic wells; estimated spatial distribution of the self-supplied domestic population for 2020 and 2010; and estimated monthly self-supplied domestic withdrawals of groundwater for the Virginia Coastal Plain
The USGS developed methods and results to improve estimation of the aquifer system, location, and quantity of private-domestic well groundwater withdrawals and the self-supplied domestic population of the Virginia Coastal Plain. This USGS data release includes (1) tabular datasets with the estimated aquifer distribution of 8,264 private-domestic wells aggregated by locality/county, USGS...
Piping plover adult breeding dispersal and annual survival in the northern Great Plains, USA, 2014 - 2019 Piping plover adult breeding dispersal and annual survival in the northern Great Plains, USA, 2014 - 2019
We present a tabular data set representing values used to evaluate intrinsic factors of breeding dispersal and annual survival for northern Great Plains piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) from 2014 – 2019. Data was collected on wetlands and on the Missouri River in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. Data includes breeding state specific observations of adults. The associated...
Land Application of Drilling Fluids in Oklahoma, Derived from Oklahoma Corporation Commission 1014 Permits, 1998-2020 Land Application of Drilling Fluids in Oklahoma, Derived from Oklahoma Corporation Commission 1014 Permits, 1998-2020
The land application of drill fluids is governed by rules established in the Oklahoma Administrative Rules (165:10-7) and permitted by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). While data on the volume and location of land application is publicly accessible through the OCC's website, much of the information is in scanned form documents which limits the operability of these data. This...
A Compilation of Soil, Vegetation, Elevation and Bathymetry Attributes in San Pablo Bay Comparing Marsh Restorations using Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Material to Naturally Accreting Restorations, 2023-2025 A Compilation of Soil, Vegetation, Elevation and Bathymetry Attributes in San Pablo Bay Comparing Marsh Restorations using Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Material to Naturally Accreting Restorations, 2023-2025
This dataset includes measurements of physical and biological parameters of two restored tidal wetlands that utilized beneficial reuse material (Hamilton Restoration, Sonoma Baylands), and compares their attributes to two wetlands that have been restored through natural tidal sediment accretion (Tolay, Carl’s Marsh) and one wetland that had never been diked (Pinkston Slough).
