Data

Scientists and engineers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS) Cal/Val Center of Excellence (ECCOE) collected in situ measurements using field spectrometers to support the validation of surface reflectance products derived from Earth observing remote sensing imagery. Data provided in this data release were collected during select...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center (WY-MT WSC), in collaboration with the USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), measured streamflow in three headwaters basins in Wyoming and Montana to better quantify streamflow, particularly during lower flows in the late summer and fall. The WY-MT WSC installed two streamgages in each of the three...

Ecological models facilitate evaluation of alternative approaches to restore the Greater Everglades ecosystem. However, the provision of useful and accessible models is a challenge because there is often a disconnect between model output and its use by decision makers. Joint Ecosystem Modeling (JEM) meets this challenge by providing ecological model output tailored to management...

Rangelands have immense inherent spatial and temporal variability, yet assessments of land condition and trends are often assessed relative to the condition of a limited number of representative points or in some cases reference data is lacking. Ecological Potential (EP) data are spatially comprehensive and quantitative baseline for comparison of current rangeland vegetation conditions...

This data release presents multi-year ecosystem metabolism model outputs for Brownlee Reservoir at varying depths across three locations (River Miles 318, 300, and 286) along the Snake River. Data include field-collected model input data and model outputs of daily gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (R), and net ecosystem production (NEP). Field data were collected from...

This dataset contains environmental DNA (eDNA) and visual encounter survey (VES) data collected between 2019 and 2022 in Colorado canyonlands. eDNA data (field, extraction, and qPCR) is for three target species: American bullfrog, northern leopard frog, and Great Basin spadefoot. VES data is for six target species: American bullfrog, northern leopard frog, Great Basin spadefoot, red...

Data describe designed environmental DNA (eDNA) experiments for the estimation of eDNA shedding rates for subadult and juvenile black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) at different biomass densities and fed different quantities of food from water samples collected in the laboratory. Parameters described include descriptions of laboratory collected water samples that were tested to estimate

In this dataset, there are four csv files that provide the raw fish behavior telemetry data and a single csv file that provides the processed velocity data.

Serum samples were collected from an American Kestrel colony at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Eastern Ecological Science Center and analyzed for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The sampling effort was undertaken as part of a Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) funded project (ER22-3388) to study the exposure effect of PFAS on immunomodulation...

Wind energy is important for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions but also contributes to global bat mortality. Current strategies to minimize bat mortality due to collision with wind-turbine blades fall broadly into two categories: curtailment (limiting turbine operation during high-risk periods) and deterrence (discouraging bat activity near turbines). Recently, there has been...

These RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data were collected to better understand how exposure to environmentally relevant doses of nitrate affects the brain transcriptome in fathead minnows. Fish were exposed to nominal doses of 0, 2, 5, 10, 25, or 100 mg/L nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N), added to flow-through well water as sodium nitrate. Transcriptomic data were collected from three experiments that...
