Data

Data were collected as part of a long-term capture-recapture program to assess the status and dynamics of populations of two long-lived, federally endangered catostomids in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon and Clear Lake Reservoir, California. Lost River suckers (LRS; Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (SNS; Chasmistes brevirostris) have been captured and tagged with passive integrated...

This Data Release summarizes the dating results from sedimentary deposits sampled by the USGS Geologic Hazards Team and analyzed at the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory. During field seasons 2023 and 2024, these samples were collected as part of the Abandoned Mine Lands Task of the Intermountain West Geologic Framework project, in collaboration with the Navajo Nation and USGS...

The following report summarizes the dating results from sedimentary deposits discovered during paleoseismic investigations of Puerto Rico. Within this report, we detail the methodology used by the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory to obtain ages including sample preparation methods, luminescence measurement, equivalent dose determination, and dating-related calculations. We...

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill on April 20, 2010, caused extensive injury to natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico, and Gavia immer (common loon) were negatively affected from the spill. The Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group funded the project Restoration of Common Loons in Minnesota to restore common loons lost to the spill. In 2020–2021, study lakes in a seven-county region in...

This dataset provides water-quality measurements and biological response data from 96-hour acute and 7-day chronic laboratory toxicity tests evaluating the effects of ammonia on juvenile freshwater mussels under multiple environmental stressors. Tests were conducted with Green Floater (Lasmigona subviridis), Neosho Mucket (Lampsilis rafinesqueana), and Fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea)...

The data includes 1) results of a preliminary pilot study to evaluate six materials for use as benthic mats in open water control of invasive mussels and 2) a definitive study to evaluate the effects of 10-, 20-, and 30-day treatment with plastic and polyvinyl benthic mats on zebra mussel and native juvenile mussel survival and benthic macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance. The study...

Characterizing spatial uncertainty in satellite-derived burned area products is essential to accurately represent fire activity and manage fire-prone ecosystems. However, most product evaluations rely on summary statistics, where their use to adjust burned area estimates is unclear. This dataset provides a comprehensive characterization of the spatial and temporal uncertainty in the...

The study compared the survival of quagga mussels after a 4 to 5-day treatment with carbon dioxide infusion under a mat and a 30-day treatment under canvas and polyvinyl benthic mats. The study was conducted in Good Harbor Bay, Leelanau County, Michigan. The data include water quality (dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, conductivity) and water chemistry (alkalinity and hardness), quagga...

This dataset accompanies the article "Estimating seasonal and monthly movement rates of invasive silver carp with a temporally variable hidden Markov model". The data come from the experimental capture and tagging of invasive silver carp with acoustic transmitters. These transmitters emit signals that are detected and recorded on receivers that are strategically placed above, within, and...

The National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site near Bemidji, Minnesota is the site of a 1979 high-pressure crude oil pipeline rupture. Approximately 1.7 million liters of crude oil spilled onto the glacial outwash aquifer. After remediation and natural attenuation, an estimated 25% of the oil remains in the subsurface today. Groundwater monitoring at the site...

The upper portion of the Troublesome Aquifer is the sole source of water for domestic use in the Greater Pole Creek Basin, situated in the western portion of the upper Fraser River Valley in Grand County, Colorado. Data from drilling records for wells installed near and within recent home developments, municipal water-suppliers, water-quality records, and published reports are summarized...

Data on tephra thicknesses for the Inyo eruptions from Miller (1985) and Bursik and Sieh (2013) are combined to produce revised isopach maps for the South Deadman vent, Obsidian Flow vent, and Glass Creek vent. Volumes are calculated for the four sets of isopachs, and the total tephra volume is calculated to be 0.21 cubic km. The Miller (1985) data are obtained from field maps and...
