Geochemical Data for Coal Wastes from Historic Anthracite Coal Mining in Pennsylvania, 2024 Geochemical Data for Coal Wastes from Historic Anthracite Coal Mining in Pennsylvania, 2024
In addition to their potential for energy generation, coal and coal byproducts may be economically important resources if they are enriched in critical minerals such as rare earth elements or if their organic carbon can be converted to gas by stimulated microbial methanogenesis. Samples of coal refuse (culm) from a historic mine site in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania were...
Detections of marine fauna using environmental DNA metabarcoding of seawater samples from the northern Gulf of America Detections of marine fauna using environmental DNA metabarcoding of seawater samples from the northern Gulf of America
We sampled seawater from nine mesophotic reef sites in the Pinnacles Trend and DeSoto Rim areas in the northern Gulf of America in October 2022 to complement and inform restoration investments for coral communities. Four primer sets were used to amplify environmental DNA (eDNA) from seawater, targeting metazoans, eukaryotic plankton and protists, corals, and fishes. Across all markers...
LiDAR, natural color and thermal infrared data collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping topography and stream temperature along the Vermilion River, Montana, August and October 2023 LiDAR, natural color and thermal infrared data collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping topography and stream temperature along the Vermilion River, Montana, August and October 2023
The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne LiDAR, natural color and thermal infrared imagery via a multirotor, uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) along with Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS survey data along a section of the Vermilion River in Montana in August and October 2023. Natural color and thermal infrared imagery was collected in jpg and tiff format respectively and...
Selenium in water, sediment, periphyton, benthic invertebrate and fish tissues from the Kootenai River, Idaho and Montana Selenium in water, sediment, periphyton, benthic invertebrate and fish tissues from the Kootenai River, Idaho and Montana
This dataset includes analyses of selenium (Se) in water, sediment, periphyton, and benthic invertebrate and fish tissues from the Kootenai River in Idaho and Montana. The samples were collected as part of a study intended to evaluate selenium distribution and bioaccumulation in the aquatic food webs of the Kootenai River. This dataset includes complete food web sample results from our...
Island of Hawaii forest bird malaria infection data 2001-2005 Island of Hawaii forest bird malaria infection data 2001-2005
This data publication contains information collected as part of a field, laboratory, and modeling effort aimed at uncovering ecological drivers of avian malaria transmission and impacts on Hawaiian honeycreepers across an altitudinal gradient on the eastern flank of Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes. Forest bird banding data and blood samples for diagnosis of Plasmodium relictum, the agent
Upper Waiākea Forest Reserve, Island of Hawai'i, Trap Efficacy and Mark-Release-Recapture Trial of Culex quinquefasciatus, 2020-2024 Upper Waiākea Forest Reserve, Island of Hawai'i, Trap Efficacy and Mark-Release-Recapture Trial of Culex quinquefasciatus, 2020-2024
This USGS data release consists of five data sets and accompanying metadata for an experimental mark-release-recapture (MMR) study of adult Culex quinquefasciatus conducted in a montane rainforest in Upper Waiākea Forest Reserve on the Island of Hawai'i from October-December 2020 and laboratory survivorship studies and analysis from 2021- 2024. Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector of the...
