Algal community composition and associated fish eDNA in southern Lake Michigan shoreline deposits (2024) Algal community composition and associated fish eDNA in southern Lake Michigan shoreline deposits (2024)
This data set includes information on algae community composition and metadata for fish environmental DNA (eDNA) samples collected along the shoreline of southern Lake Michigan in late August 2024. Washed up, floating, and attached algae were collected along shore and in wadable water. Algal community observations were performed by microscopy to determine primary and secondary dominance...
Lithologic logs and photographs of cores from the Atlantic Coastal Plain Lithologic logs and photographs of cores from the Atlantic Coastal Plain
Coring of Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments has long been the basis of many projects funded by the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. Over the past 50 years, more than 50 cores have been obtained, and accompanying geologic field notes (lithologic logs) and photographs were made by various geologists at the time of coring. These lithologic logs and photographs provide a record...
Raman spectra, electron probe microanalysis results, and images for burbankite from the Rocky Boy stock, Bears Paw Mountains, Montana Raman spectra, electron probe microanalysis results, and images for burbankite from the Rocky Boy stock, Bears Paw Mountains, Montana
This U.S. Geological Survey data release is a collection of Raman spectra, electron probe microanalytical results, and images for burbankite [(Na,Ca)3(Sr,Ba,Ce)3(CO3)5] from the type locality at the Rocky Boy stock, Bears Paw Mountains, Montana. Burbankite was described by Pecora and Kerr (1953) for the first time from samples collected in the Bears Paw Mountains (in their publication...

These data are in one table relating to the selenium concentration (μg/g) in whole blood of adult female emperor geese (Anser canagicus) sampled on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska in June 2017.
Repeat microgravity data from Anza Valley, California, 2019-2023 Repeat microgravity data from Anza Valley, California, 2019-2023
This dataset represents the network-adjusted results of relative- and absolute-gravity surveys performed from 2019 to 2023 in and near Anza Valley, California. Relative surveys were done using a Zero Length Spring, Inc. Burris relative-gravity meter. Absolute-gravity surveys were done using a Micro-g LaCoste, Inc. A-10 absolute-gravity meter. The effect of solid Earth tides and ocean...

Capture locations for pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) in Rich County Utah. These records contain capture records for rabbits in 3 allotments in Rich County, Utah during 2006-2008. Basic morphological data were collected at the time of capture. Some rabbits recorded here are part of a telemetry study (https://doi.org/10.5066/P147ZKDU.).
Fish target lengths of Silver Carp derived from Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar in backwater embayments of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, Kentucky, 2022 February 18–23 Fish target lengths of Silver Carp derived from Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar in backwater embayments of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, Kentucky, 2022 February 18–23
This dataset represents fish targets (presumed Silver Carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) recorded using Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar (ARIS; Sound Metrics, Bellevue, WA) in five backwater embayments of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, KY (2022 February). A surface-to-bottom block net was set across embayments in a “chevron” shape pointed upstream to guide fish movements downstream...
Water Quality Data from the Clinton River watershed near Detroit, MI Water Quality Data from the Clinton River watershed near Detroit, MI
This data release contains water quality data collected in the field during an in-situ mussel exposure. We collected dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, and water depth data using a sensor silo to assess habitat conditions for a potential mussel restoration. Additionally, we collected particle count data to quantify food availability for mussels and water quality data...
