Water-quality data in the Cache Creek watershed and settling basin, Yolo County, California Water-quality data in the Cache Creek watershed and settling basin, Yolo County, California
This dataset includes water-quality and suspended-sediment data for 109 environmental samples collected at 14 surface-water sites in the Cache Creek (Cache C) watershed, Yolo County, California, between December 2019 and March 2024, and data for 18 associated quality-control samples (replicates and blanks). Around three-quarters of the samples were collected from three sites: Cache C...
GIS and mineral inventory tabular data for undeveloped and select developed magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE resources in the United States, to accompany Ni-Cu-PGE fact sheet GIS and mineral inventory tabular data for undeveloped and select developed magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE resources in the United States, to accompany Ni-Cu-PGE fact sheet
This dataset provides an overview of undeveloped and select developed magmatic sulfide deposits within the United States that contain nickel, copper, and the platinum-group elements. It summarizes what is known about their locations, sizes, and geology using publicly available data. The selected developed deposits (J-M Reef and Eagle) are included for the sake of comparison. These data...
Water-level changes impact angler effort in a large lake: implications for climate change Water-level changes impact angler effort in a large lake: implications for climate change
The data set evaluates the relationship between water surface area and angler effort on Devil's Lake, North Dakota. Over the last 30+ years, water levels have expanded/contracted in Devil's laking owing to variation in climate (precipitation). Positive changes (i.e. expansion) in the lake surface area results in increased fish production and angling opportunities that positively...
Demographic data and population indices for American kestrels in the North America, 1986–2019 Demographic data and population indices for American kestrels in the North America, 1986–2019
American kestrels (Falco sparverius, hereafter kestrel) have been declining across most North America at a steady rate of approximately −1.4% per year since the 1960s. Though kestrel populations have been intensively studied throughout their North American range, no long-term trends in demographic parameters (vital rates) have been detected nor have potential causes of decline been...
Colony counts and environmental covariates of the American white pelican colony on Gunnison Island, UT, USA Colony counts and environmental covariates of the American white pelican colony on Gunnison Island, UT, USA
Annual colony counts of American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) at Gunnison Island, Utah, USA, and selected environmental covariates hypothesized to influence colony population dynamics at this location. Environmental covariates include mean springtime Great Salt Lake water levels, minimum springtime air temperature, mean annual Pacific Decadal Oscillation index values, and...
Volatile organic compounds in passive soil-gas samples at the Highlands Acid Pit Superfund site, Highlands, Texas, April 2025 Volatile organic compounds in passive soil-gas samples at the Highlands Acid Pit Superfund site, Highlands, Texas, April 2025
The Highlands Acid Pit Superfund site (hereinafter referred to as "the site") is located on a peninsula on the eastern bank of the San Jacinto River in the town of Highlands in Harris County, Texas. The site is bordered by Grennel Slough to the west, Clear Lake to the south, flooded former sand pits to the northeast and east, and private properties to the north. During the 1950s...

The Bandera Road Ground Water Plume Superfund site (hereinafter referred to as "the site") is located in the City of Leon Valley, Bexar County, Texas, and is in a commercial and industrial area of Leon Valley with nearby residential areas. The site is currently comprised of two discontinuous areas of investigation (AOIs); the second of which (AOI 2) contains a former operation dry...
Passive acoustic monitoring detections of six forest owl Species in Oregon and Washington, 2020 Passive acoustic monitoring detections of six forest owl Species in Oregon and Washington, 2020
This dataset contains: 1) species-specific vocal detection histories for six forest owl species surveyed at 577 passive acoustic monitoring stations in areas with and without barred owl removal in Washington and Oregon, 2020; 2) site-level covariates used to model the probability of detection during passive acoustic surveys; 3) site-level covariates used to model the probability of site...
Asian swamp eel distribution data in Florida Asian swamp eel distribution data in Florida
Asian swamp eels (Percomorpha, Synbranchiformes, Synbranchidae, Monopterus) were discovered in Florida in the 1990s and considered established as early as 1997. We report initial detection in Central Florida of established populations of Monopterus javanensis Lacepède 1800, Sunda Swamp Eel, previously known from the greater Tampa and Miami areas, and Ophichthys cuchia (Hamilton, 1822)...
