Data

This data release contains multiple data layers and describes the processing steps associated with the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1900 "Prospectivity Mapping for Geologic Hydrogen". The data comprise the geologic and geophysical inputs used in support of the U.S. Geological Survey's efforts to create the first map of geologic hydrogen prospectivity within the U.S. The maps...

Geologic map geodatabase depicting the geology of the Greater Antilles and Virgin Islands region, including countries of Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica, and territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands. Database tables include: geologic linework, dikes, folds, geologic units, and geochronologic data.

This dataset lists the values of experiments with modern travois. The abstract of the associated interpretive product describing the findings at the site is as follows: A travois is crafted from one or more wooden poles and is one of the simplest pre-historic vehicles. Although these devices likely played vital roles in the lives of ancient peoples, they have low preservation potential...

This data release contains data for the associated publication: Timing and Abandonment of the Chemehuevi Formation: a Conspicuous Pleistocene Sedimentary Deposit of the Lower Colorado River

Detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a commonly used surveillance method for threatened or invasive vertebrates in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. However, use of eDNA methodologies for the detection of aquatic invertebrates (e.g., crayfish and insects) has been limited. Environmental DNA protocols can be especially useful for endangered invertebrates such as the...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release includes whole-rock major, trace, and rare earth element geochemical data, whole-rock and mineral Nd-Pb-Sr isotopic data collected by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS), and uranium-lead isotopic data collected by Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe-Reverse Geometry (SHRIMP-RG) methods that characterize the Mountain Pass Rare...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release presents U-Th-Pb concentrations, isotopic ratios, and geochronologic data collected by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) for Proterozoic igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Mojave Province, California and Nevada, USA. Sample and data collection occurred by 1984 and 1990.

Wind has the potential to carry seeds long-distances and could be an important consideration in the management of natural vegetation along the U.S.-Mexico Border with border barrier infrastructure. Shrubs, native grasses, the invasive Pennisetum ciliaris (buffelgrass), soil particles and pebbles dispersed in the ecosystem, especially in maximum wind and/or precipitation events. While...

This data set describes post-mortem examination of avian species from a rapid response to a wildlife health event. We reported on the response to a 2021 mortality event in wild passerines in the eastern US. Early ground efforts by wildlife rehabilitators and veterinarians, with public participation, fueled rapid responses by government agencies including sample submission and evaluation

The sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, is a parasitic, invasive fish of the Laurentian Great Lakes. Since the late 1950s, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission has administered a Sea Lamprey Control Program (SLCP) that is executed collaboratively by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. This program relies on two lampricides, TFM (4-nitro-3-...

This product summarizes data used in the analysis portion of our Flood and Storm Tracker (FaST) manuscript (see larger work citation). The dataset titled HUCsppMatrices2012-2022.csv has each Hydraulic Unit Code (HUC) with an introduced taxon in each storm and the HUC it connected to by flood waters (lateral or longitudinal). The dataset titled ConnectionPoints_2012-2022.csv has each...

The data release records observations of insect crossing in the Lower Rio Grande National Wildlife Refuge along the U.S.-Mexico Border from 20230307 to 20240125. The barrier appears to be a partial barrier to some types of pollinators attempting to cross during high wind.
