Data

This dataset includes downwelling irradiance data collected at night on the water's surface and daytime attenuation through the water column. Spectrally specific irradiance values were collected with a Biospherical Instruments Compact-Optical Profiling System (C-OPS) device to measure artificial light at night (ALAN) in Lake Washington, WA. This dataset consists of ALAN surface...

This data release contains a dataset of continuous in-situ water temperature records from multiple federal, state, local agencies, non-profit organizations, and private industry partners across 788 locations within the Willamette River Basin (WRB) from years 2011 to 2024. This dataset complements and extends the existing multi-agency NorWeST water temperature dataset for the Willamette...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy and Naval Reactors Facility (NRF), collected sediment samples along the Industrial Waste Ditch (IWD) located on the northern boundary of the NRF. Sediment samples were collected at various intervals downstream from the outfall at different positions within the ditch as well as dredge pile sediments...

California’s wildfires are setting historic records for length, size, and severity (Safford and others, 2022, Kreider and others, 2024). These wildfires are altering soil processes like infiltration rates and carbon cycling over increasingly large areas (Staley and others, 2017; Kelly and others, 2020; Baur and others, 2024; Dow and others, 2024). In northern California, it is unclear...

This dataset contains information from groundwater monitoring wells at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site near Bemidji, Minnesota, USA. The information includes field and laboratory methods, site locations, and inorganic and organic chemistry data. Samples were collected between 2009 and 2023, and analyzed for inorganic anions: F (fluoride), Cl...

This data release contains the input and output used to assess the potential effect of climate on streamflow and salinity (measured as total dissolved solids [TDS]) yields across the Upper Colorado River Basin from water years 1986 to 2021. This analysis included estimation of the spatiotemporal variability in mean annual climatic variables (air temperature, snow water equivalent...

This data release provides the input and output datasets used to inform geomorphic change detection (GCD) analyses from repeat streambank and streambed surveys of a one-kilometer reach of the French Broad River (FBR) where the NCDOT initiated a highway widening and bridge construction project in 2020 near Asheville, North Carolina (Whaling, 2023a–d; Whaling and Wagner, 2021; Whaling and...

Metrics describing watershed hydrology, stream hydraulics, stream geomorphology, physicochemical processes, and aquatic biology were used to assess a 1.72 km reach of stream above the U.S. Geological Surveys (USGS) Flatlick Branch (station ID 01656903) monitoring station restored using natural channel design. The monitoring station has been continually operated since the start of water...

This dataset contains InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) time series data of the deformation state of Mauna Loa from 2015 to 2024. There are four total InSAR timeseries: A descending orbital perspective from 2015 to 2022 created using LiCSBAS (HI_filt_des.h5) A ascending orbital persepctive from 2015 to 2022 created using LiCSBAS (HI_filt_asc.h5) A descending orbital...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), have developed a high-resolution inset groundwater flow model for the Mississippi River delta as part of an interdisciplinary collaboration, coordinated by the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) project to provide a tool that stakeholders can use to support water resources...

Thucholites are unique organic features from igneous and sedimentary rocks composed of a U-C-rich interior enclosed by an organic outer shell. Here, we evaluated thucholites from the Ediacaran Salt Range Formation of the Upper Indus Basin in Pakistan using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectroscopy (NanoSIMS). The thucholites can be...

The Strawberry Creek watershed, situated in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California, features a group of natural springs known as Arrowhead Springs that have been augmented with diversions in the form of sub-horizontal borings and tunnels. Understanding the impact of these structures on streamflow through groundwater capture is crucial for understanding the impacts of spring...
