Data

These data comprise the results of an analysis to 1. develop freshwater fish and mussel models using survey occurrence data, land use data, stream flow data, and stream temperature data within the Northeast United states, 2. predict the impacts of climate change on vulnerable groups of freshwater fish and mussel species, and 3. assess the potential for different management interventions...

The Coquí Llanero (Eleutherodactylus juanariveroi) is one of twelve remaining species of Eleutherodactylus frogs endemic to Puerto Rico. They are known only from three isolated populations separated from each other by ~30 km: Caño Tiburones, Arecibo; Sabana Seca, Toa Baja, and Carolina. These frogs are cultural icons and hold prominent roles in the energy flow of the island’s tropical...

This study assessed site-specific differences in PFAS in fish from Ashumet Pond (2020 & 2022), Sudbury River (2023), and Great Herring Pond (reference site; 2022) in Massachusetts. Largemouth bass were collected from all sites and banded killifish were collected from Ashumet Pond only. Health assessments were performed and included histology of the liver, spleen, kidneys, gonad, and any...

This data release serves as an archive of coastal land-cover and feature datasets derived from Landsat satellite imagery from Sabine Pass to Bay Coquette, Louisiana (LA). A total of 179 images acquired between 2013 and 2024 were analyzed. Water, bare earth (sand), and vegetated land-cover classes were mapped using (1) successive thresholding and masking of the modified normalized...

Broad-area, high-resolution, boat-based water quality mapping surveys of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) were conducted in June and September of 2024. Each survey was comprised of one day of high-resolution mapping. The regions covered included Discovery Bay and Old and Middle Rivers in the South Delta Tidal Transition Zone. On each day, the route of the mapping survey was...

Observations of irrigated agricultural land within the Big Chino Groundwater Subbasin of the Verde River Groundwater Basin in Arizona. Crops were verified in situ once in 2024 on Aug 14th; based on digitized field boundaries. Field boundaries were digitized from U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Imagery Program County Mosaic 2023 imagery for Arizona and supplemented...

Data consists of grain size distribution by weight in grams of samples collected from the Yorktown Formation from various localities along the James River near Smithfield and Williamsburg, Virginia. In total, data from 34 samples are included in this dataset.

This data release includes a shapefile of compound flood hazard scores and the associated input data, scripts, and a sample output file necessary for calculating rain-surge return period adjustments for Long Island Sound and its surrounding areas. The raw input data and imputation scripts are included in this data release and are located in the "Imputation and data compilation.zip"...

The Everglades Vulnerability Analysis (EVA) is a series of connected, modular Bayesian networks that predict the response of several Everglades indicators of ecosystem health to changes in hydrology, salinity, and the landscape. We created a soil depth layer for use in the sawgrass peat module by using universal kriging to estimate soil depth at a 400-meter resolution for individual...

This data release contains tabular data (comma-separated-value format) obtained for analyses of cosmogenic nuclides, thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence, and paleomagnetism that were collected to constrain the age of sediments within Fitton Cave, Buffalo National River, north-central Arkansas.

This dataset describes the catch of humpback chub (Gila cypha) in baited hoop nets from humpback chub aggregations monitoring trips that occurred 2010-2024. Additionally, this data set includes tables that describe the number of captures and recaptures for repeat visits (i.e., mark-recapture) as well as categorical habitat scores from two experts assigned to the Colorado River in western...

Surveys with Uncrewed Systems (UxS) were used to collect remote sensing data at Marconi Beach on Cape Cod National Seashore, Wellfleet, Massachusetts after the area experienced multiple erosion events after fall storms in 2024 and the loss of National Park Service beach access stairs. The USGS has a stationary camera system (CoastCam) and meteorological station north of the parking lot...
