Data

This data release includes electron microprobe and 40Ar/39Ar data collected at the U.S. Geological Survey for samples from the Raft River metamorphic core complex in Utah, USA. Rock samples were collected by Raphael Gottardi, currently at Auburn University. Muscovite in thin sections from quartzites, micaceous quartzites, and quartz-kyanite rocks were analyzed by electron probe...

This data release includes laboratory analyses for spider tissue samples collected from 20 sites in riparian areas along streams in the upper Clark Fork Basin in western Montana during July 2023. Samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the University of Connecticut. Analyses include 56 elements, percent moisture, and nitrogen and carbon isotopes in...

This data release includes laboratory analyses for biofilm and bed-sediment samples collected from streams in the Clark Fork Basin, spanning from Butte to near Missoula, Montana. Samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of a long-term monitoring program. Biofilm samples were collected once at 19 sites...

This data release includes high resolution in-situ elevation data collected in wetlands and adjacent ecosystems throughout the San Francisco Bay from 2015 to 2024. Elevation data were collected using real-time kinematic global positioning system receivers.

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Colorado Springs Utilities, has been collecting topographic data annually since 2012 at 10 study areas along Fountain Creek, Colorado. The 10 study areas are located along Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the confluence of Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River in Pueblo. This data release presents topographic survey data, Light...

Elevation-at-refusal (EAR) data were collected in May and September 2016 in conjunction with a comprehensive bed-elevation survey (White, 2025; methods described in White and others, 2025) to estimate the depth and total volume of sediment stored in a beaver pond along Fanno Creek, western Oregon. The EAR.csv file consists of points with xy coordinate and z elevation data. A stadia rod...

This dataset contains satellite-derived information on lake elevations for selected glacial dammed lakes (GDLs) monitored by the National Weather Service Alaska-Pacific River Forecasting Center in Anchorage, Alaska, as well as several Alaska lakes collocated with monitoring gages. The lake elevation data are derived from satellite-observed water surface elevations from the Surface Water...

The American kestrel (Falco sparverius; hereafter kestrel) is a widespread but declining raptor species in North America. We organized a rapid prototyping workshop to use decision analysis to develop research priorities for understanding environmental drivers of population decline in the United States for the kestrel. The virtual workshop spanned 2.5 days and was held in-person in...

Data blended from a variety of sources to explore the effects of feeding on elk population productivity metrics with the incorporation of climate, predator, and harvest data over a 26-year time frame. Data are for elk herd units in northwestern Wyoming and two herd subunits for southwestern Montana.

These data were compiled to evaluate the effects of seed coat treatments on the emergence and growth of four native Intermountain West perennial grasses exposed to six different water availability regimes. The objective of our study was to evaluate how seed coat treatments influence seed response and seedling performance for different species exposed to different regimes of water...

Species are expected to shift their distributions to higher latitudes, greater elevations, and deeper depths in response to climate change, reflecting an underlying hypothesis that species will move to cooler locations. However, species response to climate change is poorly understood and species range shifts may be related to climate change exposure. This project was designed to find...

This dataset is in one table with mark-recapture and resight data of Emperor Geese marked with plastic color bands on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in Alaska, 1994-2017.
