Data Releases

Data in this dataset were collected as a part of a surveillance project for reintroduction of a state endangered species in Indiana. This data was collected in the field by state biologists and sent to the USGS National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) for testing of four amphibian pathogens, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bs), Ranavirus, and...

This data release contains two vector polygon shapefile datasets that delineate footprints of land surface disturbance and waste that may represent potential above-ground resources resulting from past mining in Alaska. These footprints were mapped on 2023 World Imagery at the location of currently inactive Alaska Resource Data File sites of past mining production.

The dataset focusing on research publications related to the American horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) and ecological studies over multiple decades. The dataset contains detailed information about individual research publications, including: Year and Decade of publication. Publication Title and a Link to access the document. Classification of publications based on their relation to...

This dataset was developed to estimate point-source total nitrogen and phosphorous loads to streams in the conterminous United States (U.S.) from December 1999 to November 2020. This dataset uses discharge and concentration information from point sources to streams in the conterminous United States from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Integrated Compliance Information...

This data release includes data provided by Colorado Springs Utilities to the U.S. Geological Survey. Two types of data are included here. First are daily average effluent discharge rates from the Las Vegas Street Wastewater Treatment Facility and JD Phillips Water Resource Recovery Facility along with the sum of rates on dates with available data. Second are daily total volumes of...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fish Passage Facility, located on the White River, Washington State, collects upstream-migrating fish and transfers them to trucks, allowing the fish to access the watershed upstream of Mud Mountain Dam. The structure, constructed in 2019, includes an impoundment held by gates that can be raised or lowered remotely. Those gates are typically lowered...

This dataset includes elevation-based probability and depth statistics for estimating inundation under various sea-level rise and high tide flooding scenarios in and around the National Park Service’s Dry Tortugas National Park. These datasets were developed using digital elevation model (DEM) from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This data release includes results...

The syntheticdv2lff repository contains R language source code that document the workflow to compute low-streamflow (low-flow) frequency (LFF) statistics from previously estimated streamflow at level-12 hydrologic unit code (HUC12) pour points (watershed outlet locations) in the south-central and southeastern United States for 1950 through 2010 and associated bias correction. LFF...

Data used to predict flow characteristics of transfers of water between hydrologic basins at the hydrologic unit code 8 (HUC8 scale) using tree-based ensemble models—random forest models for Colorado and M5 cubist models for the Northeast Region (parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York)—are presented and documented in this data release. Interbasin transfers (IBTs) of waters are...

Open pit uranium mining in Atascosa, Karnes, and Live Oak Counties in the Texas gulf coast region was active during the second half of the 20th century. Understanding the history of these mining operations is important for proper management and restoration. Although some mines have extensive records documenting the locations and extents of mining pits and mine waste-rock piles, and...

Non-native passerines, common canary (Serinus canaria; n=24) and the common myna (Acridotheres tristis; n=19), were captured by US Fish and Wildlife Service Biologists on Sand Island, Midway Atoll, and had a blood sample taken to test for avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum) infection. Blood samples were analyzed for the presence of avian malaria DNA using a Realtime PCR (qPCR) assay. No...

This USGS data release consists of six data sets and accompanying metadata for a year-long study on the seasonal distribution and relative abundance of the southern house mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus in Kīpahulu Valley, Haleakalā National Park, critical habitat for two endangered Maui endemic forest birds. Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector of the avian malaria Plasmodium relictum...
