Underwater Audio Data Collected in the Upper Colorado River, Colorado, 2021-24 Underwater Audio Data Collected in the Upper Colorado River, Colorado, 2021-24
This data release contains audio data collected from 2021 to 2024, expanding on the dataset collected for a 2019 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study which tested the use of hydrophones to detect bedload mobilization and identify a streamflow threshold at which bedload began to mobilize in the Upper Colorado River (Kohn and others, 2020). Child item "Stationary Hydrophone Data collected...
Step selection of loggerhead sea turtles along migration in the Gulf of America 2008-2015 Step selection of loggerhead sea turtles along migration in the Gulf of America 2008-2015
This dataset contains step lengths of individual loggerhead sea turtles tracked during their migration in the Gulf of America from 2008 to 2015. Information contained in the dataset includes platform terminal transmitter (PTT) number (a unique identifier for each turtle), the length of each move, year, location in either neritic or oceanic waters, date, longitude, latitude, difference...
Riverine Sand Mining/Scofield Island Restoration (BA-40) 2021 habitat classification Riverine Sand Mining/Scofield Island Restoration (BA-40) 2021 habitat classification
The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring Program (SWAMP). The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands...

State and Transition Classifications for Ecological Sites in the Upper Colorado River Basin, USA State and Transition Classifications for Ecological Sites in the Upper Colorado River Basin, USA
These data were compiled to support systematic analysis of ecological state and transition dynamics at the landscape scale in the Upper Colorado River Basin using published Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Ecological Site Descriptions (ESDs). Ecological sites are soil and climate-based classes of land that differ in potential plant communities and responses to disturbance...
Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey near Coalinga and Pyramid Hills, California, 2022 Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey near Coalinga and Pyramid Hills, California, 2022
Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during November 2022 over a total distance of 2,372 line kilometers over two study areas in the Pleasant Valley near the city of Coalinga, California and the region surrounding the Pyramid Hills. These data were collected adjacent to areas of oil and gas production in support of groundwater salinity mapping and...
Bluegill Size Structure and Growth Data for Six States in the Midwestern USA Bluegill Size Structure and Growth Data for Six States in the Midwestern USA
Bluegill length and age data from standardized surveys conducted during 2000-2021 were obtained from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota through direct requests. Some data were obtained through collaboration with Dr. Gretchen Hansen at the University of Minnesota. These data were used to calculate proportional size distribution (PSD), mean total length (TL) at age...

Bathymetric model and associated measurement data for Lower Darby Creek within the Heinz National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Seasonal streamflow-metric trends for four United States coastal regions, 1943 through 2022 Seasonal streamflow-metric trends for four United States coastal regions, 1943 through 2022
The streamflow trends in this data release were computed as part of a study on trends in seasonal streamflows relevant to diadromous fish in four United States coastal regions. We investigated seasonal-flow trends at 1,155 gages for eight streamflow metrics from 1973 to 2022 and 89 gages from 1943 to 2022. Two of the regions are on the Pacific coast and two are on the Atlantic coast.
Aquaculture, domestic, irrigation, and livestock water withdrawals from the Sparta aquifer by parish in Louisiana, 2023 Aquaculture, domestic, irrigation, and livestock water withdrawals from the Sparta aquifer by parish in Louisiana, 2023
Since 1975, annual water use for Louisiana has been published on a 5-year basis and is used for a variety of purposes. As the Sparta aquifer is a heavily used aquifer, is the sole source of groundwater for many parishes in Louisiana, and recent withdrawals have exceeded the Sparta’s natural recharge, a more frequent compilation of water usage for the Sparta aquifer in Louisiana is needed...
