Data

Data are associated with detection of Medionidus simpsonianus in the Ochlockonee River using tactile surveys and a newly developed single-species environmental DNA (eDNA) assay tested on water samples. Data include a NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 alignment that was used to develop primer and probe components and test target species specificity in situ, sample data from field collection...

The data records DNA barcode sequences and species level identifications of fungi and bacteria that were isolated from Phragmites australis leaves collected in along the east coast of North America. These samples were collected in 2015 from populations of native and non-native Phragmites by collaborators at Louisiana State University from plants that were visibly diseased and visibly...

Ticks and their diseases are a public health concern, thus novel tick management approaches are needed. Ticks are associated with a variety of microbes, including some fungi known to be pathogens that cause tick host mortality. We characterized the fungal tick mycobiota in Vermont, USA to determine the effects of habitat, management strategy, tick life stage, and season. We also compared...

Annual spring (May) and fall (late October through early November) gillnet assessment surveys were conducted by researchers at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) in northern Lake Michigan, including the Northern Refuge, between 1998-2025. Total length, weight, sex, maturity, and sea lamprey wounds were recorded for each lake trout and burbot caught in the gill nets. Lake trout...

This data release accompanies a U.S. Geological Survey study on arroyo formation and sediment transport in the Stinking Water Creek Basin in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, which has undergone land-use change including rangeland grazing and energy development (oil exploration). The datasets include shapefiles of landscape disturbances traced from aerial photographs, sediment chemistry and...

This data release contains a processed dataset used as input to a machine learning model that estimates monthly water use for mining by 12-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUC12) across the United States, excluding territories, provided as a comma separated values (CSV) file (Mining_model_input_data.csv). The dataset is primarily comprised of mine attributes and associated water use data...

Sediment trap time series studies collect data on planktic foraminiferal flux, assemblage composition, and geochemical responses to environmental variables, which are used in paleoceanographic research. This data release presents weekly-to-monthly resolution foraminiferal assemblage data from a long-running sediment trap study (2008–2020) in the northern Gulf of America (nGulf; 27.5° N...

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Cuyuna Iron Range in central Minnesota. The airborne survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). The survey was designed by the USGS in collaboration with the Minnesota Geological Survey, the University of Minnesota Natural Resources...

This dataset provides apatite U-Pb and fission-track data from modern river samples from 14 catchments draining the Yukon-Tanana Upland of east-central Alaska.

Developing resilient U.S. mineral supply chains requires data for identifying the vulnerabilities and bottlenecks for the mineral materials that are required for defense technologies, semiconductor manufacturing, agricultural production and advanced electronics. A U.S.-based mineral and metal production facility database is essential for national security and economic stability by...

This dataset is a collection of analytical data of potassium-argon (K/Ar) radiometric age analyses. K/Ar dating used conventional argon measurements by isotope dilution with mass spectrometry, and potassium was determined by flame photometry using a lithium metaborate fusion. The analyses were performed over a period of nearly 20 years, from the mid 1970's to 1994. Most of the argon

The middle reach of the Snake River in south-central Idaho has a long history of water-quality impairment related to excessive total phosphorus (TP) and suspended sediment. Although TP levels appear to have declined since original total maximum daily loads were established in 1997, the Crystal Springs reach stands out with an abundance of macrophyte growth. Previous studies of macrophyte...
