Data

This dataset contains 212 geotagged photographs documenting landslides and other ground failure triggered by the February 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye earthquake sequence. The photographs were primarily taken by USGS scientists during field reconnaissance conducted with Turkish colleagues from 10-20 June 2023. The primary objective of the reconnaissance was to identify and investigate...

This dataset represents the locations of experimental plots that were used during the Phragmites bioherbicide 2024 field experiment, where a novel bio-based formula for herbicide was applied to Phragmites australis to test the efficacy of Phragmites bioherbicide as a tool to control invasive Phragmites. To meet the criteria for selection, a site must have relatively dry soil with no...

This data release provides supplementary information supporting our study on seismic intensities, ground motions, and basin amplification during the Mw 6.4 Ferndale, California earthquake of December 20th, 2022. A field survey was conducted between January 9-12 and March 6-9 in 2023 to assess the damage and shaking intensity experienced across the affected areas. During this survey, 17...

This data file contains observations recorded during field surveys of post-fire vegetation in the 2021 Caldor and 2022 Mosquito Fires in the Sierra Nevada of California. The surveys were performed in summer 2023. All tree species were surveyed and treated the same.

This data release includes downscaled climate inputs and hydrologic outputs from 41 Basin Characterization Models (BCM) version 8 (v8), described in Flint and others (2021), with a 10 by 10-meter spatial resolution at monthly intervals from water years 1896 to 2023. Forty-one (41) models were developed for sentinel monitoring locations in Wildlife Areas and Ecological Reserves in...

This release contains data from acceleration data logger (ADL) float packages designed to 'pop-off' in a set amount of time for recovery and platform terminal transmitter (PTT) satellite tags attached to 12 Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) and 7 Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtles in several geographic locations, using the methods of Hart et al., 2013. These instrument packages...

These data describe estimates of large-bodied fish activity and their direction of movement with respect to a restored wetland located in Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, Oak Harbor, Ohio, USA. Acoustic sonar technology was used to monitor fish activity following restoration and reconnection of a hydrologically isolated wetland pool to the wider Lake Erie system. Fish activity was...

Biodiversity measures provide insight into ecological processes like productivity and ecosystem stability, and rare, vulnerable species are a major component of freshwater biodiversity. This data release provides the data used to address multiple ecological questions about fish and habitat conditions throughout a large section of the St. Lawrence River Valley. More than 140,000 fishes of...

From May 27 to June 21, 2024, a Virginia Tech team of 5 sampled the fish community in 30 streams spanning a gradient of the developed landscape, including Potomac River, Rappahannock River, and upper Chesapeake Bay tributaries of Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, USA. These fish surveys were part of a larger stream-health study including other teams who surveyed geomorphology...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has regularly collected fish community data from wadable streams in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, beginning with the first recorded sample in 1993 and continuing through 2024. These data were collected via electrofishing and seining (in accordance with standard USGS protocols), with the intent of monitoring fish communities and water quality in the area...

The dataset is composed of two data tables containing information from boat electrofishing surveys conducted during 2021, 2023, and 2024 in sections of the Mohawk River where it runs separately from the New York State Canal System (i.e., is not canalized). The first table contains fish collection data and the second table contains information on the sampled reaches.

These metadata contain links to the original sequences (.fastq files) on GenBank. These data files contain the sample metadata, exact sequence variant (ESV) reads, and taxonomic identifications for the ESVs in each sample.
