Data Releases

This dataset consists of categorical mainstem habitat layers from the Lower Missouri, Middle Mississippi, Upper Mississippi, and Illinois rivers compiled or developed from imagery and topo bathymetric data to quantify the mainstem riverine habitat available to bighead carp, black carp, grass carp, or silver carp. Layers consist of engineered control structures, categorical habitats at an...

This data release contains near-surface geophysical and hydrological datasets collected along a historic coal-mining impacted reach of Nanticoke Creek near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, which is completely dry at its terminus during baseflow conditions. The release includes specific conductance data from a series of sodium chloride tracer slug injection experiments conducted on June 11...

These data were compiled in support of the Post-2026 Operational Guidelines and Strategies for Lake Powell and Lake Mead (Post-2026) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). These data were used to illustrate how six operational strategies (one baseline and 5 alternatives) could affect subaerial shoreline exposure and potential dust emissions at the Lake Powell and Lake Mead reservoirs. The...

Wet meadow habitats in southeast Idaho, which are important areas for wetland-dependent wildlife, are managed by four National Wildlife Refuges (NWR). Threats to this important, but regionally declining habitat include pesticide drift from adjacent and nearby lands. In this study, four NWRs, Camas, Minidoka, Bear Lake, and Grays Lake, are investigated for the presence of pesticides...

This data release compiles the inputs and outputs for a nitrogen mass balance model for nine small agricultural watersheds within the Chesapeake Bay nontidal watershed. Data inputs include annual nonpoint source nitrogen input, plant uptake, and output, and total discharge from 1985-2020 for each of the agricultural watersheds. Data inputs also include median groundwater age used to...

Mauna Loa volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, erupted from November 27 to December 10, 2022, sending lava flows across the summit caldera (Mokuʻāweoweo) and into the upper Southwest Rift Zone, before focusing in the Northeast Rift Zone at fissure 3, sending a lava flow down the north flank that threatened a major highway. During the eruption, there was a need for updated terrain data to update...

Mauna Loa volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, erupted from November 27 to December 10, 2022, sending lava flows across the summit caldera (Mokuʻāweoweo) and into the upper Southwest Rift Zone, before focusing in the Northeast Rift Zone at fissure 3, sending a lava flow down the north flank that threatened a major highway (Zoeller and others, 2024). During the eruption, U.S. Geological Survey...

Ferromanganese nodules and other ferromanganese coated rocks were collected using a box core from the Samoa Basin, during 2026-604-FA. This data release includes location and depth information for each box core sample, the abundance of ferromanganese minerals in each box core sample, in units of kilograms per square meter of seafloor, and geochemical data for representative samples. The...

This data release contains biological information collected in the field during a 78-day in situ mussel exposure. We collected length and survival data from Fatmucket that were held in mussel silos from five potential mussel augmentation sites in the Clinton River watershed, near Detroit, Michigan. Additionally, this data release contains data from a 28-day laboratory sediment bioassay...

The orthoimagery, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Pickle Pond in Superior, Wisconsin in August 2020, prior to planned ecological restoration. Aerial images were collected using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at a nominal elevation of approximately 70 meters above the surface of the lake water. Data were processed using structure-from-motion...

The two datasets consist of capture-mark-recapture (cmr) data for brown treesnakes (Bioga irregularis), and a database containing information about supplemental food added to the population in 2009. The cmr data were collected in the closed population (CP) on Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. These data were used to assess how the population growth rate was affected by two perturbations...

These data represent daily detection histories (detection/non-detection) for Myotis lucifugus at acoustic detectors deployed from 2014-2017 at various military installations in interior Alaska. Detection histories are subdivided into three seasons (early [Apr 11-June 14], mid [June 15-July 15], late [July 16-Oct 10) based on breeding biology of Myotis lucifugus. Datasets include...
