Estimated aquifer distribution for private-domestic wells; estimated spatial distribution of the self-supplied domestic population for 2020 and 2010; and estimated monthly self-supplied domestic withdrawals of groundwater for the Virginia Coastal Plain Estimated aquifer distribution for private-domestic wells; estimated spatial distribution of the self-supplied domestic population for 2020 and 2010; and estimated monthly self-supplied domestic withdrawals of groundwater for the Virginia Coastal Plain
The USGS developed methods and results to improve estimation of the aquifer system, location, and quantity of private-domestic well groundwater withdrawals and the self-supplied domestic population of the Virginia Coastal Plain. This USGS data release includes (1) tabular datasets with the estimated aquifer distribution of 8,264 private-domestic wells aggregated by locality/county, USGS...
Piping plover adult breeding dispersal and annual survival in the northern Great Plains, USA, 2014 - 2019 Piping plover adult breeding dispersal and annual survival in the northern Great Plains, USA, 2014 - 2019
We present a tabular data set representing values used to evaluate intrinsic factors of breeding dispersal and annual survival for northern Great Plains piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) from 2014 – 2019. Data was collected on wetlands and on the Missouri River in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. Data includes breeding state specific observations of adults. The associated...
Land Application of Drilling Fluids in Oklahoma, Derived from Oklahoma Corporation Commission 1014 Permits, 1998-2020 Land Application of Drilling Fluids in Oklahoma, Derived from Oklahoma Corporation Commission 1014 Permits, 1998-2020
The land application of drill fluids is governed by rules established in the Oklahoma Administrative Rules (165:10-7) and permitted by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). While data on the volume and location of land application is publicly accessible through the OCC's website, much of the information is in scanned form documents which limits the operability of these data. This...
A Compilation of Soil, Vegetation, Elevation and Bathymetry Attributes in San Pablo Bay Comparing Marsh Restorations using Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Material to Naturally Accreting Restorations, 2023-2025 A Compilation of Soil, Vegetation, Elevation and Bathymetry Attributes in San Pablo Bay Comparing Marsh Restorations using Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Material to Naturally Accreting Restorations, 2023-2025
This dataset includes measurements of physical and biological parameters of two restored tidal wetlands that utilized beneficial reuse material (Hamilton Restoration, Sonoma Baylands), and compares their attributes to two wetlands that have been restored through natural tidal sediment accretion (Tolay, Carl’s Marsh) and one wetland that had never been diked (Pinkston Slough). Throughout...
Data Describing the Presence of Live Trees for Three Years in Sentinel-2 Pixels Across Four Fires in California, USA Data Describing the Presence of Live Trees for Three Years in Sentinel-2 Pixels Across Four Fires in California, USA
This dataset represents photointerpretation of live tree presence and raw pixel values from 500 randomly selected Sentinel-2 pixels across four fires in the state of California. This dataset was used to run random forest models to predict live tree presence in the Cabin Fire, Rough Fire, Pier Fire, and Schaeffer Fire at 1, 3, and 5 years post fire.
Acoustic detection and biological data for Lake Trout, Salvelinus namaycush, in Lake Ontario Acoustic detection and biological data for Lake Trout, Salvelinus namaycush, in Lake Ontario
Acoustic Telemetry is gaining popularity for use in fisheries research as a method to estimate survival and observe behaviors of native fish species. Methodology for capture and tagging of fish is typically context and species-specific, requiring a case by case basis for best practices to maximize survival of tagged individuals. This dataset includes acoustic detection data from 320...
Plant diversity data following utility-scale solar energy development in the Mojave Desert, 2023-2024 Plant diversity data following utility-scale solar energy development in the Mojave Desert, 2023-2024
These data were compiled to document changes to plant community composition following large-scale energy development. The objective of our study was to evaluate plant diversity responses to energy development at multiple scales, and to compare plant diversity within solar panel microsites. These data were collected between 2023 and 2024 in the Mojave Desert, approximately 50 km northeast...
Biomarkers of laboratory-exposed Northern leopard frogs to neonicotinoids: serum cortisol, serum protein, and brain acetylcholinesterase Biomarkers of laboratory-exposed Northern leopard frogs to neonicotinoids: serum cortisol, serum protein, and brain acetylcholinesterase
Data collection of spectrophotometric data regarding levels of serum cortisol, serum protein, brain acetylcholinesterase, and brain protein biomarkers were obtained from blood and brain tissues of Northern leopard frogs exposed to neonicotinoid insecticides in the laboratory.
Drilling, construction, geophysical data, and lithologic log for borehole USGS 150 Drilling, construction, geophysical data, and lithologic log for borehole USGS 150
In 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Research Drilling Program, based in Nevada, subcontracted with WOOD PLC to drill and construct borehole USGS 150 (USGS site 433521112581801). The borehole was continuously cored from approximately 18.3 to 1399 feet below land surface, with the primary objective of gathering geological, geophysical, and seismic data to enhance models for...
Capture-Mark-Recapture and Covariate Data for Demography of Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frogs (Rana sierrae) at Summit Meadow, Yosemite National Park, California, 2003-2022 Capture-Mark-Recapture and Covariate Data for Demography of Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frogs (Rana sierrae) at Summit Meadow, Yosemite National Park, California, 2003-2022
These data include capture and survey information for a meadow population of endangered Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frogs (Rana sierrae) at Yosemite National Park, California, USA, 2003-2022. The data also include remotely sensed weather covariates related to winter severity (annual April snow water equivalent) and drought severity (Palmer drought severity index) to evaluate their...
Assessing spatial variability of nutrients, phytoplankton, and related water quality constituents in the California Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta at the landscape scale: 2023 High resolution mapping surveys Assessing spatial variability of nutrients, phytoplankton, and related water quality constituents in the California Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta at the landscape scale: 2023 High resolution mapping surveys
Broad-area, high-resolution, boat-based water quality mapping surveys of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Bay (Delta) of California, USA were conducted under different environmental/flow conditions in May, July, and October of 2023. The spatial and temporal variability of nutrients, phytoplankton, and related water quality parameters were assessed. This dataset includes...
Supplemental data for Over and Sherwood (2025), Washover and washout locations and landcover classifications after hurricanes Florence, Dorian, Harvey, Ike, and Sandy in North Carolina, Texas, and New York Supplemental data for Over and Sherwood (2025), Washover and washout locations and landcover classifications after hurricanes Florence, Dorian, Harvey, Ike, and Sandy in North Carolina, Texas, and New York
The data in this release support the journal article "Outwash events inhibit vegetation recovery and prolong coastal vulnerability". The research details the vegetation cover in washover and washout locations in North Carolina, Texas, and New York after hurricanes Florence, Dorian, Harvey, Ike, and Sandy. Aerial imagery observations indicate that washout sites create ponds and have a...
