Upper Mississippi River System Lidar Breaklines Upper Mississippi River System Lidar Breaklines

Lidar data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. Using a combination of laser range-finding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; Lidar instruments are able to make highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation. Breaklines are used in surface models to...

Chemical and physical data for fingerprinting 2022 sediment in East River, Wisconsin, tributary to the Fox River, Green Bay, and Lake Michigan - sources Chemical and physical data for fingerprinting 2022 sediment in East River, Wisconsin, tributary to the Fox River, Green Bay, and Lake Michigan - sources

Data include particle-size distribution as well as sediment-bound total concentrations of carbon (organic and total), nitrogen, phosphorus, and other trace metals. Samples include those from upland sources (cropland, woodland, gullies, roads) as well as exposed streambank from the East River basin, Brown County, Wisconsin. Sources samples were collected in July and August 2022. These...

Chemical and physical data for fingerprinting 2022 sediment in East River, Wisconsin, tributary to the Fox River, Green Bay, and Lake Michigan - streambed sediment Chemical and physical data for fingerprinting 2022 sediment in East River, Wisconsin, tributary to the Fox River, Green Bay, and Lake Michigan - streambed sediment

Data include total nitrogen and organic carbon, total metal, and particle-size analyses of upland (cropland, woodland, gullies, roads) and streambank from the East River basin, Brown County, Wisconsin that was collected in July and August 2022. These data will be used in a sediment-source apportionment tool to attribute the proportional contribution of individual sources to suspended...

Data Release for Antimycin-A Water Concentrations in Upper Munson Creek During a Native Fish Restoration Data Release for Antimycin-A Water Concentrations in Upper Munson Creek During a Native Fish Restoration

This dataset describes the laboratory antimycin-a water sample processing data and spatial and temporal measured antimycin-a water concentrations sampled during a 2024 native fish restoration in Munson Creek Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Fintrol, containing the active ingredient antimycin-a, was applied to Munson Creek by the Crater Lake National Park Service staff and the U.S...

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data collected March 14–18, 2022 and November 17–21, 2025, north of Sioux Falls, South Dakota Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data collected March 14–18, 2022 and November 17–21, 2025, north of Sioux Falls, South Dakota

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, performed electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys March 14–18, 2022 and November 17–21, 2025. In total, ERT data were collected along 22 transects using 2 passive cables and electrodes spacings of either 2, 3, or 4 meters. Transect lengths varied from 110 to 220 meters. Real time kinematic (RTK...

Data for the Hydrologic and Water-Quality Characterization of Levittown Lake, Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, April 2010 – June 2011 Data for the Hydrologic and Water-Quality Characterization of Levittown Lake, Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, April 2010 – June 2011

This data release contains data for the hydrologic and water-quality characterization of Levittown Lake, from April 2010 to June 2021. Three child items were included in the data release to summarize the results of the (1) community productivity through the light and dark bottle method (2) two diel data collection efforts, and (3) spatial data associated with the bathymetric survey...

Weekly Herbaceous and Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) Cover for western North America 2016 – 2026 Weekly Herbaceous and Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) Cover for western North America 2016 – 2026

For all available weekly RCMAP-EAG data see the RCMAP Viewer - Next Generation Viewer or MRLC for download. Two weeks of sample data and metadata are included below. Exotic species can disrupt ecosystems since they often possess competitive advantages over native species. In the western United States, the spread of exotic annual grasses (EAG) like cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and...

Dynamical downscaling of the GENMOM climate model over Western North America from the Last Glacial Maximum to present Dynamical downscaling of the GENMOM climate model over Western North America from the Last Glacial Maximum to present

We downscaled global climate simulations we previously conducted with the GENMOM coupled atmosphere ocean general circulation model at T31 resolution (~3.71° latitude × 3.75° longitude) by progressively nesting 50- and 15-km configurations of the hydrostatic version of the RegCM5 regional climate model over Western North America (WNA). The extent of the 50-km model domain captures key...

Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States (ver. 3.1, October 2026) Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States (ver. 3.1, October 2026)

Mainstem rivers serve as the backbone of a connected network of hydrologic units that cover the landscape. A mainstem connects a headwater source area to an outlet. The series of data releases, Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States, referred to as "Mainstems", identifies the same mainstem paths across spatial scales in hydrographic datasets for the United States. This data...

Northern mockingbird ileal microbiota activity and expression of antimicrobial resistance genes, virulence factors, and metabolic pathways in Texas cotton producing and uncultivated areas Northern mockingbird ileal microbiota activity and expression of antimicrobial resistance genes, virulence factors, and metabolic pathways in Texas cotton producing and uncultivated areas

The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects. Indeed, pesticides and their deleterious environmental effects have been implicated in the sharp decline in North American farmland-breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton

Hydroacoustic and environmental data from autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in Lakes Superior and Michigan, 2022 Hydroacoustic and environmental data from autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in Lakes Superior and Michigan, 2022

This dataset contains hydroacoustic and environmental data collected by a long-range autonomous underwater vehicle (LRAUV) in U.S. waters of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan during August 2022. Data were collected to evaluate bias in fisheries hydroacoustic surveys associated with the surface acoustic dead zone (SADZ; 0–5 m depth), where near-surface fish often go undetected, leading to
