USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Zagros Fold Belt Province: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Zagros Fold Belt Province: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables
This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units, assessment input data, and resulting fact sheet data tables for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources of the Zagros Fold Belt Province. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The...
Assessment of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in Lake Michigan Using Down-Looking AUV-Collected Imagery Assessment of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in Lake Michigan Using Down-Looking AUV-Collected Imagery
This dataset comprises in situ images of benthic algae collected by an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in Lake Michigan during August and September 2020. The images were annotated, or labeled, to identify specific features for use in machine learning and algorithm development, specifically to train and validate an algorithm for the automated identification and assessment of submerged...
Timing of coral (Swiftia exserta) spawning in U.S.G.S. Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, Gainesville, FL Timing of coral (Swiftia exserta) spawning in U.S.G.S. Wetland and Aquatic Research Center, Gainesville, FL
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill injured mesophotic and deep-sea environments over a vast area. In order to restore the mesophotic and deep-sea coral species impacted by the spill, information on fundamental ecosystem processes such as reproduction is needed. During expeditions in 2021 and 2022, fragments of the mesophotic octocoral Swiftia exserta were collected from the northern...
Sedimentary organic geochemistry data from Escanaba Trough, off the coast of northern California, collected May-June 2022 Sedimentary organic geochemistry data from Escanaba Trough, off the coast of northern California, collected May-June 2022
This data release presents organic geochemical data collected from sediments within the Escanaba Trough, a sedimented hydrothermal spreading center within the U.S. EEZ off the coast of Northern CA which contains marine minerals (USGS Field Activity 2022-621-FA). The data includes total organic carbon and total nitrogen content, stable and radioisotopes, compound specific biomarker data...
Fish Nutritional Quality, Biomarkers, Communities, and Environmental Data from the Nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, 2021-2023 Fish Nutritional Quality, Biomarkers, Communities, and Environmental Data from the Nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, 2021-2023
This data release contains information derived from fishing efforts and sampled fish from the nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, 2021-2023, as part of a study investigating red-throated loon productivity and diet. The datasets include six tables comprising 1) catch per unit effort (CPUE) data, 2) field-measured lengths of fish (mm), 3) the energy density (kJ/g) and whole-body energy (kJ) of...
Probability of Streamflow Permanence (PROSPER) Model version 2.1 Output Layers for the Pacific Northwest region, 2004 - 2016 Probability of Streamflow Permanence (PROSPER) Model version 2.1 Output Layers for the Pacific Northwest region, 2004 - 2016
This data release contains the model inputs, outputs, and source code (written in R) for a redeveloped PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model (version 2.1) that had previously been developed for the Pacific Northwest Region (PROSPER_PNW_2), and a raster data set which shows where influential predictor values were outside the range of calibration data. The PROSPER-PNW...
