Applied Biosolids Data Input Summed from Fields to National Hydrography Dataset Plus V2 in Virginia, 2024 Applied Biosolids Data Input Summed from Fields to National Hydrography Dataset Plus V2 in Virginia, 2024
This metadata record contains two tables with reported and calculated amounts of biosolids applied to agricultural land within Virginia in 2024 at different scales. Included in the dataset are (1) mass of land-applied biosolids calculated for NHDPlus Version 2.1 (NHDPlusV2) reach catchments in 2024 as a CSV and (2) reported amount of biosolids applied to land by county in 2024 as a CSV...
Southwest Wisconsin white-tailed deer prion protein gene sequences Southwest Wisconsin white-tailed deer prion protein gene sequences
We sequenced the prion protein gene from white-tailed deer from Southwest Wisconsin. The samples were provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The dataset includes sequencing chromatogram files and a summary table with the interpretation of the sequencing data.
Uranium-series geochemistry and geochronology of marine terrace corals, Perachora Peninsula, Greece and San Nicolas Island, California, USA Uranium-series geochemistry and geochronology of marine terrace corals, Perachora Peninsula, Greece and San Nicolas Island, California, USA
Emergent marine terraces record past periods of relatively high sea level and are common on uplifting coasts worldwide. Such landforms are extensive around the Gulf of Corinth area of Greece and along the coast of California, USA. In the Gulf of Corinth region, marine terraces record Quaternary uplift due to ongoing basin extension on the northern side of the Africa-Eurasia-Aegean Sea...
Discharge measurements, air temperature, water temperature, and gage height data for select streams in Maryland-Washington, DC-Virginia developed Piedmont region (2024) Discharge measurements, air temperature, water temperature, and gage height data for select streams in Maryland-Washington, DC-Virginia developed Piedmont region (2024)
As part of a larger study examining stream conditions and the effect of Best Management Practices in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, thirty small streams in the developed Piedmont of Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia were instrumented and monitored for gage height (water level), water temperature, and air temperature using Onset HOBO sensors from March to September 2024. In addition...
Micronesian Starling (Aplonis opaca) nesting data on Guam, 2015-2018 Micronesian Starling (Aplonis opaca) nesting data on Guam, 2015-2018
We designed and implemented snake-resistant nestboxes and tested their efficacy as a conservation tool by comparing nest survival in nestboxes to natural nests for Aplonis opaca (Såli, Micronesian Starling) on Guam. During 2016-2018, we monitored 340 nest attempts by 40 A. opaca pairs nesting in nestboxes and 53 attempts by 32 pairs nesting in natural nests (outside of nestboxes), for a...
Paleomagnetic Data from Newberry Volcano, Oregon, collected from 1977-2018 Paleomagnetic Data from Newberry Volcano, Oregon, collected from 1977-2018
This dataset consists of 424 paleomagnetic sites from Newberry Volcano. 15 sites were analyzed at the natural remanent magnetization level, 256 sites were analyzed with blanket demagnetization, and 153 sites were analyzed with modern stepwise demagnetization protocols. 412 sites yield acceptable paleomagnetic data.
