Data Releases

The AltEn bioenergy plant (Mead, Nebraska, USA) previously (2015 to 2021) generated ethanol from almost 100% unused/expired treated corn seeds. This use of treated corn seeds as a feedstock for ethanol production resulted in accumulation of large amounts of contaminated wastewater and solid residue at the plant, a portion of which was applied to surrounding farmland. To evaluate the...

The West Salt Creek rock avalanche (refer to Figure 1 for location, .pdf and .jpg files are provided) occurred on May 25, 2014, and filled the West Salt Creek valley with a hummocky deposit that ranged up to ~38 m thick (White and others, 2015; Coe and others, 2016). The central core of this deposit continued to move for at least one hour after other parts of the deposit had stopped...

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 compiled to predict economic impacts to angling in Glen Canyon and whitewater rafting in Grand Canyon. The objective of our study was to estimate recreation impacts, or changes in consumer surplus, under...

This dataset collection supports adaptive management planning for black ash wetlands threatened by emerald ash borer (EAB) across Minnesota and provides the underlying data used in an ArcGIS StoryMap outlining strategies for black ash wetland management. There is one csv file containing wildlife habitat model data and four shapefiles included in this collection. The black ash complexes...

This data release provides both the input datasets and modeled output estiamtes generated from eight lake metabolism models, which quantify gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and net ecosystem production (NEP). Seven of the lakes were monitored by the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), and one by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS Site No. 01670144)...

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during November 4–20, 2024 over a distance of 3,251 line kilometers in the western Mojave Desert, California. These data were collected in support of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI), which aims to improve knowledge of the geologic framework of the United States through...

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Laramie Mountains region of Wyoming. The airborne survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). The survey was designed by the USGS in collaboration with the Wyoming State Geological Survey and contracted by the USGS. The survey was...

This dataset includes field and laboratory analyses of water samples collected from lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams in northwest Alaska within Cape Krusenstern National Monument, Noatak National Preserve, Kobuk Valley National Park, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, and Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. At sites across the five national park units, in situ water...

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 eight operational strategies (one baseline and 5 alternatives) for Glen Canyon Dam could affect sand exposure for aeolian landscape and cultural site resources within Grand Canyon...

This data release compiles multi-year temperature datasets from the Santa Ana River, including continuous temperature records collected by USGS, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, and Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation District to support analyses of spatial and temporal thermal conditions.

This data release contains optical measurements for surface water samples collected during synoptic raft trips during three different sampling events. Data collection was performed by the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado (CO), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Lakewood, CO. The raft was steered in the center of the river thalweg, generally between Kremmling, Colorado...

This data set was collected as part of structured decision-making workshops designed to build Bayesian Decision Networks of habitat management actions in wetlands of the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture region. The models were created as part of an adaptive management framework to reduce uncertainty about management actions. We used formal elicitation process for expert judgment where...
