Waikamoi and Hanawi Maui, forest bird malaria infection data 1993 -1996 Waikamoi and Hanawi Maui, forest bird malaria infection data 1993 -1996
This data publication contains information collected as part of a field and laboratory effort to determine prevalence of avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum) and pox-like lesions (Avipoxvirus spp.) in native and non-native forest birds on the northern, high elevation (>1500 m) slopes of Haleakala volcano on Maui during the last decade of the 20th century. Forest bird banding data and...
Ar isotope data for the Central Plateau Member of the Plateau Rhyolites, Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field Ar isotope data for the Central Plateau Member of the Plateau Rhyolites, Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field
At least 28 rhyolitic lava flows, domes, and tuffs erupted within Yellowstone caldera following its formation 631 ka. Understanding the timing of intracaldera eruptions is essential for characterizing natural hazards posed by Yellowstone volcano. We present 40Ar/39Ar eruption ages for the Mallard Lake Member and Central Plateau Member of the Plateau Rhyolite, which comprise products from...
Preliminary Land Cover Data Collected for Protocol and Process Development related to Annual NLCD Preliminary Land Cover Data Collected for Protocol and Process Development related to Annual NLCD
Data collected to facilitate research and development activities pertaining to Annual NLCD algorithm development used as a benchmark for algorithm improvement iterations. The primary goal of these preliminary data was to offer preliminary insight into algorithm performance and guidance for algorithm improvement through error analysis.
Geochemical Data for Coal Wastes from Historic Anthracite Coal Mining in Pennsylvania, 2024 Geochemical Data for Coal Wastes from Historic Anthracite Coal Mining in Pennsylvania, 2024
In addition to their potential for energy generation, coal and coal byproducts may be economically important resources if they are enriched in critical minerals such as rare earth elements or if their organic carbon can be converted to gas by stimulated microbial methanogenesis. Samples of coal refuse (culm) from a historic mine site in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania were...
Detections of marine fauna using environmental DNA metabarcoding of seawater samples from the northern Gulf of America Detections of marine fauna using environmental DNA metabarcoding of seawater samples from the northern Gulf of America
We sampled seawater from nine mesophotic reef sites in the Pinnacles Trend and DeSoto Rim areas in the northern Gulf of America in October 2022 to complement and inform restoration investments for coral communities. Four primer sets were used to amplify environmental DNA (eDNA) from seawater, targeting metazoans, eukaryotic plankton and protists, corals, and fishes. Across all markers...
LiDAR, natural color and thermal infrared data collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping topography and stream temperature along the Vermilion River, Montana, August and October 2023 LiDAR, natural color and thermal infrared data collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping topography and stream temperature along the Vermilion River, Montana, August and October 2023
The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne LiDAR, natural color and thermal infrared imagery via a multirotor, uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) along with Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS survey data along a section of the Vermilion River in Montana in August and October 2023. Natural color and thermal infrared imagery was collected in jpg and tiff format respectively and...
Selenium in water, sediment, periphyton, benthic invertebrate and fish tissues from the Kootenai River, Idaho and Montana Selenium in water, sediment, periphyton, benthic invertebrate and fish tissues from the Kootenai River, Idaho and Montana
This dataset includes analyses of selenium (Se) in water, sediment, periphyton, and benthic invertebrate and fish tissues from the Kootenai River in Idaho and Montana. The samples were collected as part of a study intended to evaluate selenium distribution and bioaccumulation in the aquatic food webs of the Kootenai River. This dataset includes complete food web sample results from our...
Island of Hawaii forest bird malaria infection data 2001-2005 Island of Hawaii forest bird malaria infection data 2001-2005
This data publication contains information collected as part of a field, laboratory, and modeling effort aimed at uncovering ecological drivers of avian malaria transmission and impacts on Hawaiian honeycreepers across an altitudinal gradient on the eastern flank of Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes. Forest bird banding data and blood samples for diagnosis of Plasmodium relictum, the agent
Upper Waiākea Forest Reserve, Island of Hawai'i, Trap Efficacy and Mark-Release-Recapture Trial of Culex quinquefasciatus, 2020-2024 Upper Waiākea Forest Reserve, Island of Hawai'i, Trap Efficacy and Mark-Release-Recapture Trial of Culex quinquefasciatus, 2020-2024
This USGS data release consists of five data sets and accompanying metadata for an experimental mark-release-recapture (MMR) study of adult Culex quinquefasciatus conducted in a montane rainforest in Upper Waiākea Forest Reserve on the Island of Hawai'i from October-December 2020 and laboratory survivorship studies and analysis from 2021- 2024. Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector of the...
Data for groundwater age estimates for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer based on tracer data collected during 2018–20 Data for groundwater age estimates for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer based on tracer data collected during 2018–20
This data release contains tracer data and estimated age distributions of groundwater samples collected as part of a water availability study for the Mississippi alluvial plain (MAP). The MAP is the floodplain of the lower Mississippi River and its main tributaries and distributaries. The soils, climate, and irrigation water resources of the MAP have made it a highly productive...
SUTRA Models Used to Evaluate Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage Performance in the United States SUTRA Models Used to Evaluate Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage Performance in the United States
This data release documents eight 30-year SUTRA simulations summarized in Pepin and others (2025) and provides output from one short (1-year) simulation to provide verification that the model code runs properly. The most recent, but not-yet published, version of SUTRA (version 4.0) was used to evaluate reservoir thermal energy storage performance by simulating radially symmetric...
Rock Properties Data for the Pre-Cretaceous Formations in the Southwest Wyoming Province Area Rock Properties Data for the Pre-Cretaceous Formations in the Southwest Wyoming Province Area
In 2024, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) compiled rock properties data from the USGS Core Research Center's (CRC) database for the Southwestern Wyoming Province and adjoining areas to better characterize the potential hydrocarbon sources and reservoirs in the area. Data from 53 wells were collected from data analysis results located in the CRC database. These data are derived...
