Topobathymetric Digital Elevation Model (TBDEM) for Coastal Oregon and Washington including Columbia River Corridor, 1851 - 2025 Topobathymetric Digital Elevation Model (TBDEM) for Coastal Oregon and Washington including Columbia River Corridor, 1851 - 2025
To support U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) flood inundation and hydrodynamic modeling, the USGS Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project has created an integrated 1-meter topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) for coastal Oregon and Washington, including the tidal portions of the Columbia River. Coastal...
Data underlying analysis of the relationship between actual and potential evapotranspiration in the conterminous U.S. Data underlying analysis of the relationship between actual and potential evapotranspiration in the conterminous U.S.
This data release provides spreadsheets of slope values between actual evapotranspiration and 13 equations for potential or reference evapotranspiration, evaluated at annual or daily time scales. The data release also provides the data underlying supporting tables and figures in the associated paper.
Walleye and Lake Sturgeon Egg Deposition and Larval Emergence in the Lower Black River, NY, 2013-2025 Walleye and Lake Sturgeon Egg Deposition and Larval Emergence in the Lower Black River, NY, 2013-2025
In order to determine Walleye (Sander vitreus) and Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) production in the lower Black River, New York, data were collected weekly during the spring of 2013-2025. This data release contains the spring sampling data, egg deposition, larval emergence, and density estimates. Density estimates were calculated using egg and larval abundance for both species on...
Camera trap data across East Riverside Development Focus Area, California, 2021 Camera trap data across East Riverside Development Focus Area, California, 2021
This data release is associated with a study examining the spatial ecology and behavior of three focal mammal species: kit fox (*Vulpes macrotis*), coyote (*Canis latrans*), and black-tailed jackrabbit (*Lepus californicus*) in the East Riverside Development Focus Area (ERDFA) in Riverside County, California. Camera-trap surveys were conducted between April and July 2021 at two...
Testing developmental requirements to induce escape hatching of cisco (Coregonus artedi) embryos Testing developmental requirements to induce escape hatching of cisco (Coregonus artedi) embryos
Escape hatching responses are naturally occurring hatching events where exposure to specific environmental stimulus elicit hatching of fish embryos earlier than observed without an external stimulus. This response can be caused by a variety of environmental stimuli, including rapid increases in water temperature. We conducted this study to understand if a certain level of larval...
Lava fountain heights and associated timelapse images for the summit eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, 2024-2026 (continuing) Lava fountain heights and associated timelapse images for the summit eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, 2024-2026 (continuing)
The 2024–2026 (ongoing) summit eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, has produced lava fountains on a scale unprecedented in the summit caldera since written records began in 1823. By August 2026, 54 episodes of lava fountaining had occurred, with peak heights exceeding 500 meters. Two main vents have been active (north and south), often producing remarkable dual fountains...
Bathymetric Data for Selected Reaches of the Upper Allegheny River between Warren and West Hickory, PA Bathymetric Data for Selected Reaches of the Upper Allegheny River between Warren and West Hickory, PA
This dataset contains data collected by the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center during bathymetric surveying in selected reaches within the upper Allegheny River between Warren and West Hickory, PA in September 2025. Data includes latitude, longitude, and river bottom elevations for points within these reaches, as well as latitude, longitude, and water surface elevations for each...
Annual streamflow statistics for selected streamgages on Big and Little Darby Creeks and Hellbranch Run, Ohio (through water year 2021) Annual streamflow statistics for selected streamgages on Big and Little Darby Creeks and Hellbranch Run, Ohio (through water year 2021)
This data release includes datasets with annual streamflow statistics determined with the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration software and R source code to create time-series plots with overlaid locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (lowess) lines.
Vegetation, soil, and horizontal mass flux data from the Well Pad Reclamation and Research field trials in the Uinta Basin, Utah and the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action field trials near Moab, Utah Vegetation, soil, and horizontal mass flux data from the Well Pad Reclamation and Research field trials in the Uinta Basin, Utah and the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action field trials near Moab, Utah
These data were compiled for the Well Pad Reclamation and Research (WPRR) project in the Uinta Basin, Utah and related experiments conducted at the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) project near Moab, Utah. WPRR is a collaborative and co-production of science set of experiments in the Uinta Basin that includes the US Geological Survey (USGS), the Bureau of Land Management...
National Shoreline Change—A GIS compilation of vector shorelines and associated shoreline change data from the 1800s to the 2020s for the coast of Mississippi National Shoreline Change—A GIS compilation of vector shorelines and associated shoreline change data from the 1800s to the 2020s for the coast of Mississippi
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maintains shoreline positions for the United States coasts from various historical sources, such as aerial photographs or topographic surveys, and contemporary sources, such as lidar-point clouds and digital elevation models. Shorelines are compiled in a GIS and analyzed in the USGS Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) software to calculate rates of...
U.S. Geological Survey simulations of waves and ocean dynamics during Hurricanes Ian (2022), Idalia (2023), and Helene (2024) U.S. Geological Survey simulations of waves and ocean dynamics during Hurricanes Ian (2022), Idalia (2023), and Helene (2024)
The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST v3.8; Warner and others, 2010; Warner and others, 2019) modeling system was used to simulate ocean circulation, water levels, and waves that occurred during three separate hurricanes: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Idalia (2023), and Hurricane Helene (2024). Simulations were performed with coupled and concurrent ocean and wave...
Simulated daily soil moisture and temperature to characterize environmental conditions for plant establishment at sites in the western United States (1980-2023) Simulated daily soil moisture and temperature to characterize environmental conditions for plant establishment at sites in the western United States (1980-2023)
The goal for these data is to characterize patterns of soil moisture and temperature that have the potential to influence the establishment outcomes of post-fire restoration seeding. To accomplish this objective, we simulated daily soil moisture and soil temperatures at 4000+ locations in the western USA. We used a soil water balance model, SOILWAT2, and inputs from daily weather (DayMet...
