A collection of lidar point cloud, raster, and real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system (RTK GNSS) survey data of Central and South Ackerson Meadow to aid in monitoring wetland meadow restoration. Uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) lidar collections were flown in June 2023 (before restoration), November 2023, and November 2024 (after restoration), with one forthcoming...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne LiDAR, natural color and thermal infrared imagery via a multirotor, uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) along with Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS survey data along a section of the Vermilion River in Montana in August and October 2023. Natural color and thermal infrared imagery was collected in jpg and tiff format respectively and...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Green Berkshires, Inc., has compiled Geographic Information Systems (GIS) datasets consisting of raster and vector data used to generate lidar-derived hydrography. The spatial data layers provided in this data release are hydrography data derived from high-resolution lidar digital elevation models (DEM). The vector data are in...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), has compiled a Geographic Information System (GIS) dataset. The spatial data layer provided in this data release is derived from high-resolution lidar digital elevation models (DEM’s) for the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Penobscot County, Maine. The data provided in this release

This data release contains the estimated lifespans of salt marshes in E.B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (EBFNWR) and Atlantic-facing New Jersey. The lifespans are calculated based on estimated sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) predictions, following the methodology of Ganju and others (2020). The salt marsh delineations are from Ackerman and others (2024) and Defne and Ganju...

Coring of Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments has long been the basis of many projects funded by the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. Over the past 50 years, more than 50 cores have been obtained, and accompanying geologic field notes (lithologic logs) and photographs were made by various geologists at the time of coring. These lithologic logs and photographs provide a record...

The products presented here document conditions at the Little Saint Francis River chat pile restoration site near Fredericktown, Missouri in July 2019. Imagery was collected shortly after the initiation of restoration actions. Images were collected using low-altitude flights of unoccupied aerial systems (UAS, or “drones”) and processed using structure-from-motion techniques to generate...

We estimated the effect of microhabitat and microclimatic factors on occupancy, abundance and reproduction of four species of Eleutherodactylus frogs (E. wightmanae, E. brittoni, E. antillensis, E. coqui). Data consist of presence-non/presence data (binary), and physical (abiotic) and habitat (biotic) covariates collected at each of 48 survey stations (2017) and 35 (2018) along two...

In 2002, tropical storm Chata’an triggered more than 250 landslides in Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia (Harp and others, 2004). This data release includes shapefiles of the original mapping from oblique aerial photographs of landslide-affected areas (source and runout) (Harp and others, 2004), extraction of height (H) and length (L) from the original mapped landslides, and revised...

The GIS shapefile "bison_locations" provides 132996 locations of 5 adult female bison marked with global positioning system (GPS) collars at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve during February 2021 to November 2023. We provide locations computed at 15-min and 1-h intervals for individual bison and the date and time of acquisition for each location. Users are advised that ground...

Stable isotopes of water preserved in geologic archives, primarily as oxygen (d18O), have proven critical for documenting Earth’s climatic and hydrologic systems past and present. However, timescale differences of water isotope inputs to proxy systems and the signal embedded in long paleorecords often confound translation to observed hydroclimatic metrics. Here, a unique 20-year dataset...

These data were compiled to better understand the controls on the magnitude of the metalimnion low dissolved oxygen zone in Lake Powell reservoir. These data represent dissolved oxygen, total suspended sediment, and nutrient data collected during laboratory water and sediment incubations. These data also represent summaries of summertime metalimnion dissolved oxygen concentrations at...
