Data

Locations of hair snares that recorded at least one black bear in western Massachusetts from 2019 and 2021. Sites were located east and west of the Connecticut River.

This data release consists of data and metadata for a forest restoration experiment investigating experimental outplanting diversity and density in previously grazed pastureland. Five replicate sites, consisting of 11 - 6x6m plots (10 experimental treatments + 1 control), were set up for this experiment. Treatments consisted of two planting densities (double and single) as well as...

Bear Lake is a large freshwater lake that formed through tectonism in a half graben valley across the Utah and Idaho border. It serves as a critical water resource by storing water and regulating Bear River flows that support downstream ecosystems and agriculture in the Great Salt Lake basin. This data release includes an assimilated topobathymetric raster of Bear Lake comprising...

In 1976-1983, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducted systematic surveys of forest birds and plant communities on all of the main Hawaiian Islands as part of the Hawaiian Forest Bird Surveys (HFBS; Scott et al. 1986). Results of this monumental effort have guided conservation efforts and provided the basis for many plant and bird recovery plans and land acquisition decisions in...

This dataset contains 4 separate data files: (1) "Hawaiian Islands, genetic metabarcoding of Hawaiian hoary bat guano samples, 2010-2021" - sampling details for guano collected from Hawaiian hoary bats (Lasiurus semotus) on the Island of Hawai‘i, O‘ahu, Maui, and Kaua‘i, which was used in a dietary metabarcoding study; (2) "Hawaiian Islands, Hawaiian hoary bat guano representative DNA...

Streamgaging weirs, like the ones used by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), play a critical role in providing accurate and stable streamflow data, but their presence can affect the passage of diadromous fish species such as river herring and American shad. In some situations, weirs existing in rivers and streams are no longer used because they were part of a farm irrigation system or...

To enhance hurricane coastal impact models, we estimated height above ground (HAG) in millimeters for vegetation and other features using lidar point clouds associated with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 3DEP 1-m digital elevation models (DEMs). Specifically, the mean, maximum, and standard deviation of the HAG was calculated with a spatial resolution of 3-m. For this dataset, we...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery and LIDAR data via a fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping Sawmill Springs area in the Kaibab National Forest in Arizona. Visual imagery was collected in joint photographic experts group (jpg) (for color imagery) format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied to...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery via a fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 6-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Ouray National Wildlife Refuge near Ouray, Utah. Visual imagery was collected in jpg format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied (Over...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery via a fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 7-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Horseshoe Bend near Jensen, Utah. Visual imagery was collected in jpg format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied (Over et al., 2021)...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery, surface temperatures and multispectral imagery via a hexacopter uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping Hoxworth Springs, Clark Well and Buck Springs in the Coconino National Forest in Arizona. Visual imagery was collected in jpg (for color imagery) and TIFF (for thermal imagery and multispectral imagery...

We processed 41 Voyager 2 images of Neptune’s moon Triton with pixel scales 2 km/pixel form their raw, compressed, archived state to more usable cloud-optimized geotiffs, which can easily be used within spatial analysis software such as GIS. Processing was done using the USGS’ ISIS software and included geometric and radiometric calibration, and the removal of image reseaux and corner...
