Data

The dataset provides access to all data used in the interpretation of results for the study including dose response curves from toxicity tests, predicted minimum lethal concentration data, water quality data, and mortality data.

This data release contains measured streamflow data from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages and reported wastewater data from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) within the Potomac River watershed between October 1, 2021 and September 30, 2024. Mean monthly streamflow data was obtained from 117 USGS streamgages (Table1_Streamgages.csv). Average...

To better inform continued offshore wind energy development in the region, U.S. Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center (USGS-WERC) has updated the database of marine bird vulnerabilities to offshore wind energy infrastructure (OWEI) in the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Region (POCS; waters within the Exclusive Economic Zone off California, Oregon, and Washington). The...

This dataset accompanies the article "Off-channel habitat use by silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis) in the upper Mississippi River". Acoustic telemetry data (Innovasea, Inc.) were collected on invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) in Pools 17-19 of the upper Mississippi River to examine timing...

This data release contains observational data from a breeding bird inventory using standardized point counts conducted during May-June 2005 in Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ), Alaska. It also includes a single survey conducted for owls on the night of 30 April 2005. Data tables include 1) survey route details, 2) survey point details, 3) survey habitat details at survey points, 4) bird...

We mapped cheatgrass at different scales in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem using 10-m Sentinel-2 imagery, 3-m PlanetScope, and 10-cm Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) imagery. We compared these maps to field-collected data to address 1) variation in seasonal phenological signals of native and cheatgrass patches, 2) the influence of scale on detectability and map accuracy across our...

This data release summarizes 126 borehole geophysical logs collected in fractured rock aquifers within the state of West Virginia. Data includes site information for the wells logged, in addition to all fractures identified as part of processing of borehole logs collected for the study. A machine learning algorithm was used to identify values in logs characteristic of specific lithologic

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the New Mexico Department of Transportation, estimated the magnitude and frequency of floods corresponding to the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs; otherwise known as the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200-, and 500-year floods, respectively) for 346 selected streamgages in New...

This dataset contains study results examining the effect of road mortality on migrating salamanders along the Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi from 2012-2013. A combination of methods were used to assess the movement of salamanders to and from the breeding pond. Environmental variables such as air and water temperature, water salinity, and relative humidity were also collected during...

This dataset contains the results from 80 visual encounter surveys at two wetlands in Palmetto Island State Park, Vermillion Parish, Louisiana from August 2015 to April 2019. These surveys mainly targeted snakes but small turtles and anoles were also opportunistically captured. Captured animals were swabbed to determine the prevalence of Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, the causative agent of...

This dataset contains the data from laboratory and field testing of protocols to measure gas fluxes through mass flow meters attached to rigid chambers sealed to the ground. These tests demonstrate the quality of the ground seal and weather conditions around the chamber are critical for the quality of the data obtained from the technique. This measurement approach is useful for...

Evaluating Decadal Changes in Groundwater Quality: Groundwater-quality data were collected from 5,000 wells between 1988-2001 (first decadal sampling event) by the National Water-Quality Assessment Project. Samples are collected in groups of 20-30 wells with similar characteristics called networks. About 1,500 of these wells in 67 networks were sampled again approximately 10 years later...
