We used a landscape connectivity model to investigate the effects of barriers on wildlife access to water within the Lower Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas (USA). We used a modified omnidirectional connectivity model to compare wildlife access to the river across three border barrier scenarios: 1) a landscape without border barriers; 2) a landscape with the existing barrier system as...

This dataset provides tables with photointerpretation of delayed mortality and associated predictors in Sentinel-2 pixels across conifer forests in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area.

Lidar data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. Using a combination of laser range-finding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; Lidar instruments are able to make highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation. Breaklines are used in surface models to...

This dataset describes the laboratory antimycin-a water sample processing data and spatial and temporal measured antimycin-a water concentrations sampled during a 2024 native fish restoration in Munson Creek Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Fintrol, containing the active ingredient antimycin-a, was applied to Munson Creek by the Crater Lake National Park Service staff and the U.S...

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, performed electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys March 14–18, 2022 and November 17–21, 2025. In total, ERT data were collected along 22 transects using 2 passive cables and electrodes spacings of either 2, 3, or 4 meters. Transect lengths varied from 110 to 220 meters. Real time kinematic (RTK...

This data release contains data for the hydrologic and water-quality characterization of Levittown Lake, from April 2010 to June 2021. Three child items were included in the data release to summarize the results of the (1) community productivity through the light and dark bottle method (2) two diel data collection efforts, and (3) spatial data associated with the bathymetric survey...

For all available weekly RCMAP-EAG data see the RCMAP Viewer - Next Generation Viewer or MRLC for download. Two weeks of sample data and metadata are included below. Exotic species can disrupt ecosystems since they often possess competitive advantages over native species. In the western United States, the spread of exotic annual grasses (EAG) like cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and...

We downscaled global climate simulations we previously conducted with the GENMOM coupled atmosphere ocean general circulation model at T31 resolution (~3.71° latitude × 3.75° longitude) by progressively nesting 50- and 15-km configurations of the hydrostatic version of the RegCM5 regional climate model over Western North America (WNA). The extent of the 50-km model domain captures key...

Mainstem rivers serve as the backbone of a connected network of hydrologic units that cover the landscape. A mainstem connects a headwater source area to an outlet. The series of data releases, Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States, referred to as "Mainstems", identifies the same mainstem paths across spatial scales in hydrographic datasets for the United States. This data

The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects. Indeed, pesticides and their deleterious environmental effects have been implicated in the sharp decline in North American farmland-breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton

This dataset contains hydroacoustic and environmental data collected by a long-range autonomous underwater vehicle (LRAUV) in U.S. waters of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan during August 2022. Data were collected to evaluate bias in fisheries hydroacoustic surveys associated with the surface acoustic dead zone (SADZ; 0–5 m depth), where near-surface fish often go undetected, leading to

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains continuous data from the Roaring Fork, Colorado, cosmic-ray neutron sensor (CRNS) soil moisture monitoring network as well as supplemental soil laboratory analyses and discrete field-based measurements collected in 2023 and 2024 for calibration and validation of CRNS data. The network includes 15 CRNS stations located in the...
