Global dataset of species-specific inland recreational fisheries harvest for consumption (ver. 1.1, September 2025) Global dataset of species-specific inland recreational fisheries harvest for consumption (ver. 1.1, September 2025)
Inland recreational fisheries, found in lakes, rivers, and other landlocked waters, are important to livelihoods, nutrition, leisure, and other societal ecosystem services worldwide. Although recreationally-caught fish are frequently harvested and consumed by fishers, their contribution to food and nutrition has not been adequately quantified due to lack of data, poor monitoring, and...
GPS locations of feral horses in Utah, USA, from 2016-2020 GPS locations of feral horses in Utah, USA, from 2016-2020
Data represent locations of mares and stallions in Utah. Data were collected using GPS radio collars on mares or tail transmitters braided into the tails of stallions, at a 2-hour fix rate for a period spanning 2016 to 2020. Horses were located at Conger Herd Management Area (HMA) or Frisco HMA in the Great Basin ecosystem of Utah, USA.
Data to support water quality modeling efforts in the Delaware River Basin Data to support water quality modeling efforts in the Delaware River Basin
This data release contains information to support water quality modeling in the Delaware River Basin (DRB). These data support both process-based and machine learning approaches to water quality modeling, including the prediction of stream temperature. Reservoirs in the DRB serve an important role as a source of drinking water, but also affect downstream water quality. Therefore, this...
Duplicate Stream Sample Analyses by Laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey New York Water Science Center and Adirondack Lake Survey Corporation Applied to Adirondack Stream Monitoring Data, 2003-2017 Duplicate Stream Sample Analyses by Laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey New York Water Science Center and Adirondack Lake Survey Corporation Applied to Adirondack Stream Monitoring Data, 2003-2017
This dataset contains a comparison of chemical analysis results obtained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) New York Water Science Center Soil and Low-Ionic Strength Water Quality Laboratory and the Adirondack Lake Survey Corporation (ALSC) Laboratory. Duplicate samples were collected biweekly from Buck Creek and the North and South Tributaries of Buck Creek from September 5, 2006...
Radiochemical Data From Sediment Cores Collected on Deer Island, Mississippi Radiochemical Data From Sediment Cores Collected on Deer Island, Mississippi
In December 2021, four sediment push cores (core names appended with 'M' for marsh push core) and peat augers (core names appended with 'R' for Russian peat auger) were collected from the marshes of Deer Island, Mississippi during U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) field activity number (FAN) 2021-351-FA. Select intervals from the manual push cores were analyzed for determination of lead-210...
Seagrass map, Cat Island and Ship Island, Mississippi, 2014 Seagrass map, Cat Island and Ship Island, Mississippi, 2014
This product depicts the spatial coverage of seagrass beds from 0.5-m color-infrared orthoimagery for Cat Island and Ship Island, Mississippi from early fall of 2014. Specifically, the map includes presence and absence of seagrass beds within a potential seagrass extent that was based on topobathymetric data. A minimum mapping unit of 4 square meters was used for this mapping effort.

Altitude of selected beds and inferred faults in boreholes as identified from geophysical logs at Valmont TCE Site, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Altitude of selected beds and inferred faults in boreholes as identified from geophysical logs at Valmont TCE Site, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania
This dataset contains altitudes of selected beds and inferred faults in boreholes within an area of interest determined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the Valmont TCE Superfund site in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The selected beds correspond to sections of borehole geophysical logs with elevated natural gamma activity as described in the U.S. Geological Survey...
Collection of Analytical Data for the Pennsylvania Groundwater Monitoring Network Collection of Analytical Data for the Pennsylvania Groundwater Monitoring Network
This dataset contains all publicly-available analytical data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at each location within the Pennsylvania Groundwater Monitoring Network (GWMN) from 2015 to present. Additional analytical data will be appended following the conclusion of each sampling season, and all data is made publicly available in the online National Water Inventory System...
Pennsylvania Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network Data Exploration Tool Pennsylvania Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network Data Exploration Tool
The Pennsylvania Groundwater Monitoring Network (GWMN) is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey Pennsylvania Water Science Center and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP) that samples ambient groundwater quality wells throughout the State. Data collection has occurred since 2015 for major ions, trace metals, nutrients, and organic compounds...
National Assessment of Hurricane-Induced Coastal Erosion Hazards: Puerto Rico National Assessment of Hurricane-Induced Coastal Erosion Hazards: Puerto Rico
These datasets contain information on the probabilities of hurricane-induced erosion (collision, inundation, and overwash) for each 100-meter (m) section of the Puerto Rico open-ocean coastline for category 1-5 hurricanes. The analysis is based on a storm-impact scaling model (Sallenger, 2000; https://www.jstor.org/stable/4300099) that uses observations of beach morphology combined with
Water Temperature Mapping of the Skykomish, Snoqualmie, and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers—Longitudinal Stream Temperature Profiles and Airborne Thermal Infrared and RGB Imagery Mosaics Water Temperature Mapping of the Skykomish, Snoqualmie, and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers—Longitudinal Stream Temperature Profiles and Airborne Thermal Infrared and RGB Imagery Mosaics
The Skykomish and Snoqualmie River basins in western Washington provide spawning, rearing, and migration habitat for several salmonid species, including Endangered Species Act-listed Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout. The production, abundance, distribution, and the health of fish and other aquatic life is strongly influenced by water temperature, which affects their...
