Data Releases

This study presents the isolation of exosomes and RNA from 20 samples of white-tailed deer serum using a commercially available kit, incorporating optimizations for RNA yield through two elutions and replicate pooling. The RNA yield from each method is reported, with six samples processed using three techniques. Seven samples underwent RNA sequencing, where total RNA was prepared for...

Data about the top and bottom altitude, depth from land surface and/or the thickness of three geologic units in Tennessee were converted into geospatial format for this USGS data release from previously published paper maps and converted into digital formats for use by the public. The three geologic units were the Chattanooga Shale of Mississippian-Devonian age (Moore and Horton, 1999)...

This data release contains electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) data collected in areas of unwalled shoreline at the Bremerton Naval Complex, WA, June 1-5, 2023. Preliminary inverse results from the FDEM data area also included. Two sites were investigated: Charleston Beach and Segment 4. Charleston Beach is a gently sloping pebble beach...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains data from soil and storm water samples collected in and around areas in southern Nevada where a polymer-based dust palliative was applied. The applied palliatives were FSB-1000 (Soil Tech, 2012) or Soil-Sement (Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc., 2001) which contain water and the co-polymer butyl acrylate vinyl acetate (BAVA). Samples were...

This data release contains data used to develop linear regression models to calculate continuous chloride concentrations in groundwater and runoff at an urban rain garden in Gary, IN. A python script was developed to perform the regression analysis and estimate sodium chloride (NaCl) loading to 5 rain-garden flumes as the product of: (1) the estimated continuous (one-minute) chloride...

Site characterization, with the goal of measuring VS30, was performed at 27 strong motion stations across Central and Southern California. These stations, belonging to the National Strong Motion Program, spanned four counties and varied geophysical environments. Primarily employed were the Simplified Site Characterization Methods (SSCM) as an efficient yet robust method for measuring...

This data release describes data that were contributed to the GasHype project, a global data compilation effort. Goals of the GasHype project include assessing concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane in the hypolimnion of lakes, reservoirs, and ponds, and identifying important drivers of these concentrations. Data contributed by the U.S. Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife...

The Simplified Site Characterization Method (SSCM) was employed to obtain VS30 data at 39 sites across California. These geophysical surveys utilized both active- and passive-source methods wherever site conditions allowed. Primary focus was on characterization of seismic stations. Major regions surveyed include the San Francisco Bay Area, Anza Valley, Imperial Valley, Los Angeles, and...

We collected electrofishing, environmental DNA (eDNA), and habitat data from 2022 to 2024 in the Oregon portion of the Goose Lake Basin. Data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Oregon State University (OSU) to monitor native and non-native fish distributions in the Basin, and to relate observed abundances to specific habitat features. Sampling was conducted in...

The stable hydrogen (delta 2H) and oxygen (delta 18O) isotopic compositions of more than 1,400 daily or weekly composite samples of precipitation from four National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) sites (VA10, VA27, VA28, and WV99) in Virginia and West Virginia were analyzed on archived samples obtained from NADP over various time periods from as early as 1998. The samples are from...

Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to the supply and demand of ecosystem goods and services that maintain human well-being. A recent review found that the impacts of climate change on ecosystem services are sometimes mixed, posing challenges for managers who need to adapt to these changes. We expand on earlier work by exploring drivers of varying responses of...

This data release reformats data fields from the STATSGO soil characteristics dataset (Schwarz and Alexander, 1995) as cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs). The COG format allows standard software tools to efficiently access the datasets over an internet connection. Please refer to the documentation of the source archive (Schwarz and Alexander, 1995) for additional details on the underlying...
