Predicting wildlife distribution patterns in New England USA with expert elicitation techniques Predicting wildlife distribution patterns in New England USA with expert elicitation techniques
Understanding the impacts of landscape change on species distributions can help inform decision-making and conservation planning. Unfortunately, empirical data that span large spatial extents across multiple taxa are limited. In this study, we used expert elicitation techniques to develop species distribution models (SDMs) for harvested wildlife species (n = 10) in the New England region...
Data in support of flow statistics for the Delaware River Basin Data in support of flow statistics for the Delaware River Basin
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates a dense network of streamgages within the Delaware River Basin (DRB) that provides near real-time and daily mean streamflow values, many of which have a decades long period of record. This long-term, historical dataset of daily mean streamflows is crucial for prediction of flows at ungaged stream reaches by means of parameter-based regression...
Datasets to Inform Participatory Engagement to Reduce Communication Gaps in Puerto Rico Datasets to Inform Participatory Engagement to Reduce Communication Gaps in Puerto Rico
As an effort to improve the accessibility of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) resources to communities in Puerto Rico, a research team held a virtual internal meeting amongst USGS colleagues (organized with a professional facilitator) to identify and gather information on existing USGS natural hazards data, knowledge, and tools available for Puerto Rico. As a result, a bilingual website...
USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Norphlet Formation: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Norphlet Formation: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables
This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units, assessment input data, and resulting fact sheet data tables for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in the Norphlet Formation of the Western Gulf Basin Province, U.S. Gulf Coast Region. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project for the...
Average and annual climate, productivity, and hydrologic data for watersheds across the Northern Hemisphere Average and annual climate, productivity, and hydrologic data for watersheds across the Northern Hemisphere
This dataset includes average, and annual average (e.g., average of 2020) watershed characteristics and environmental driver data for 189 rivers across the Northern Hemisphere. Average data includes lithology (e.g., percent of watershed covered by volcanics), land use (e.g., percent of watershed covered by cropland), maximum day length, median nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations...
Monthly dissolved silicon concentrations from 198 rivers in the Northern Hemisphere Monthly dissolved silicon concentrations from 198 rivers in the Northern Hemisphere
This dataset includes monthly dissolved silicon (DSi) concentration data from 198 rivers across the Northern Hemisphere. Concentration and discharge data were sourced from public and/or published datasets and the Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season model (Hirsch et al. 2010) was used to estimate monthly concentrations and flow-normalized concentrations for all sites over...
Sediment and nutrient retention in floodplain forest soils related to flood frequency and presence/absence of invasive reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) in the upper Mississippi River Navigation Pool 8 in 2019 Sediment and nutrient retention in floodplain forest soils related to flood frequency and presence/absence of invasive reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) in the upper Mississippi River Navigation Pool 8 in 2019
The dataset represents the results of floodplain soil samples collected in Navigation Pool 8 of the upper Mississippi River. The objective of the research was to assess the changes in soil chemistry and nutrient transformation at floodplain forest sites in the presence or absence of invasive reed canarygrass (RCG- Phalaris arundinacea) and determine if the RCG effect was modified by the...
Predictions of specific conductance and departures from background specific conductance in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, 2001-2016 Predictions of specific conductance and departures from background specific conductance in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, 2001-2016
Freshwater salinization is an emerging water quality issue for non-tidal streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed (CBW), USA region. A model was developed to predict specific conductance (SC; a proxy for salinity) conditions across the CBW and departures from background SC. Discrete observations of SC from 1999-2016 were acquired from a published SC data inventory and...
Compilation of surface water diversion sites and daily withdrawals for the Upper Colorado River Basin, 1980-2022 Compilation of surface water diversion sites and daily withdrawals for the Upper Colorado River Basin, 1980-2022
This data release contains an inventory of 1,358 major surface water diversion structures with associated daily time series withdrawal records (1980-2022) for structures within the Upper Colorado River and Little Colorado River Basins. Diversion structures were included in this dataset if they were determined to have the capacity to divert water at rates greater than 10 cubic feet per...
Data and metrics for evaluating hydrologic model performance and simulation of drought duration, severity, deficit, and occurrence in the conterminous United States Data and metrics for evaluating hydrologic model performance and simulation of drought duration, severity, deficit, and occurrence in the conterminous United States
This data release presents truth data and benchmark results describing simulation of hydrologic drought events in the conterminous United States. This data release supports a publication (Simeone and others, 2024) which documents drought benchmarking methods and their application to the results of the National Water Model (NWM) version 2.1. Truth data used were observations at U.S...
Streamflow drought Hytest NHM Streamflow drought Hytest NHM
This data release presents truth data and benchmark results describing simulation of hydrologic drought events in the conterminous United States. This data release supports a publication (Simeone and others, 2024) which documents drought benchmarking methods and their application to the results of the National Hydrologic Model Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System v1.0 (NHM-PRMS). Truth...
Rates of change in invasive annual grass cover to inform potential management opportunities across the sagebrush biome of the western United States Rates of change in invasive annual grass cover to inform potential management opportunities across the sagebrush biome of the western United States
We used Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assessment and Projection (RCMAP) maps of annual herbaceous fractional components (mostly invasive annual grasses) to calculate mean rate of change in invasive annual grass cover over five-year time periods (ratesOfChange1987_2021.zip). We also created a map that identifies zones of the sagebrush biome that could be prioritized for different...
