Data

This data release presents cyanotoxin and multiparameter water-quality sonde data collected from July-October 2020, at eleven sites in the Salem River, New Jersey. Data-collection sites included seven flowing and four impounded reaches of the main stem Salem River. Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking (SPATT) samplers were deployed at 11 sampling locations during the study period and...

Efforts to improve water quality by changing the amount of nutrients in the water can affect fish habitats and fisheries. This makes it important to coordinate fishery management and water quality efforts, taking into account how fish behave in response to changes in their habitat. This data set combines information from acoustic telemetry, which tracks the movements of native lake...

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...

Post-fire vegetation structure and fuel data are needed to understand how an area recovers over time. To address this need, data were collected within the perimeter of the 2000 Jasper Fire near Custer, SD, on 73 plots co-located with plots previously established by scientists to assess burn severity. Vegetation structure data were collected at these plots during two periods: July 11–17...

This data release contains 22 horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) seismic measurements at 21 sites in Franklin County, New York. The HVSR passive seismic method (Lane and others, 2008; Fairchild and others, 2013) is a non-invasive and cost-effective technique for estimating the thickness of unconsolidated sediments over bedrock. This technique uses a single broadband three...

This data release contains 43 horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) seismic measurements in Erie, Cattaraugus, and Wyoming Counties, New York collected between 2019 and 2023, in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The HVSR passive seismic method (Lane and others, 2008; Fairchild and others, 2013) is a non-invasive and cost-effective...

Underwater passive acoustic monitoring was conducted at multiple sites on rivers in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon. Hydrophones were used to record the sound associated with coarse river-bed sediment (bedload) movement. Bedload supply and transport are key factors determining channel morphology in gravel-bed rivers and can affect reach-scale conditions such as aggradation and...

The dataset presented here, a historical coregonine spawning database, or CORHIST for short, is the result of several years of coordinated research in archives, libraries, and field stations, to track down evidence of spawning locations for the Coregoninae sub-family of ciscoes and whitefishes in the Great Lakes of North America and their tributaries. Our objective was to accurately...

This data release contains SnowModel snow evolution simulation output from water years 2022 to 2023 (October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2023) on a 100-meter (m) geospatial grid for a 3 kilometer (km) × 2 km model domain near Coal Creek off Coal Bank Pass in the San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado, USA. The three quantities simulated for this release were snow water equivalent...

IMPORTANT NOTE: This dataset includes spatial locations where streamflow permanence observations (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) field survey available in the Survey 123 mobile data collection application. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. Field observations in the...

This dataset lists the values of experiments with modern travois. The abstract of the associated interpretive product describing the findings at the site is as follows: A travois is crafted from one or more wooden poles and is one of the simplest pre-historic vehicles. Although these devices likely played vital roles in the lives of ancient peoples, they have low preservation potential...

Dataset includes the number of shortnose sturgeon that were detected via acoustic telemetry and side-scan sonar in the Hudson River on a series of survey dates from 2021 to 2023.
