Data for groundwater age estimates for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer based on tracer data collected during 2018–20 Data for groundwater age estimates for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer based on tracer data collected during 2018–20
This data release contains tracer data and estimated age distributions of groundwater samples collected as part of a water availability study for the Mississippi alluvial plain (MAP). The MAP is the floodplain of the lower Mississippi River and its main tributaries and distributaries. The soils, climate, and irrigation water resources of the MAP have made it a highly productive...
SUTRA Models Used to Evaluate Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage Performance in the United States SUTRA Models Used to Evaluate Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage Performance in the United States
This data release documents eight 30-year SUTRA simulations summarized in Pepin and others (2025) and provides output from one short (1-year) simulation to provide verification that the model code runs properly. The most recent, but not-yet published, version of SUTRA (version 4.0) was used to evaluate reservoir thermal energy storage performance by simulating radially symmetric...
Rock Properties Data for the Pre-Cretaceous Formations in the Southwest Wyoming Province Area Rock Properties Data for the Pre-Cretaceous Formations in the Southwest Wyoming Province Area
In 2024, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) compiled rock properties data from the USGS Core Research Center's (CRC) database for the Southwestern Wyoming Province and adjoining areas to better characterize the potential hydrocarbon sources and reservoirs in the area. Data from 53 wells were collected from data analysis results located in the CRC database. These data are derived...
Satellite-derived shorelines for Romania Black Sea coast for the period 1984 - 2023 using Landsat Satellite-derived shorelines for Romania Black Sea coast for the period 1984 - 2023 using Landsat
This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery (1984 to 2023) for the Romanian Black Sea coast. The shoreline positions were derived on transects 50 m apart using the open-source toolbox, CoastSat described in Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b. Landsat coastal imagery was classified, and shoreline positions were detected at the sub-pixel scale...
Nine-banded armadillo and coyote detection data and site-specific data from the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge during summer 2023 Nine-banded armadillo and coyote detection data and site-specific data from the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge during summer 2023
This dataset includes (i) camera-based detection data for nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) and coyotes (Canis latrans) and (ii) covariates characterizing the environmental conditions at each of 100 sites sampled in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge during summer 2023.
Novel Use of Antifungal Nail Lacquer to Treat Candida Bill Infections in Ducks Novel Use of Antifungal Nail Lacquer to Treat Candida Bill Infections in Ducks
Captive wild ducks in the research colony at the USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center, Laurel, Maryland USA frequently contract Candida infections on the upper and lower bills. Various standard treatments were attempted with mixed success. Several of the Surf Scoters, especially, suffered extreme erosions of the bill leading to euthanasia prior to using this new treatment. For the past...
