Adult sagebrush songbirds (primarily, Brewer's sparrow, sagebrush sparrow, and sage thrasher) were measured, color-banded, and tracked using multiple resight methods in Sublette County, Wyoming during 2020-2024. In addition, nests associated with each color-banded adult were identified. We conducted nest searching and monitoring efforts for any songbird species at study plots. Habitat...

This dataset includes information on total loggerhead sea turtle captures, recaptures, and their size ranges upon capture by year (2011–2024) in St. Joseph Bay, FL.

These are the data used for growth modeling in the paper ‘Growth of a threatened desert fish becomes resource dependent when released from temperature limitation in a regulated river’. Growth of ectotherms is strongly tied to temperature but can vary with other factors, especially food acquisition rates. River regulation is widespread globally and often significantly alters both...

Mauna Loa volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, erupted from November 27 to December 10, 2022, sending lava flows across the summit caldera (Mokuʻāweoweo) and into the upper Southwest Rift Zone, before focusing in the Northeast Rift Zone at fissure 3, sending a lava flow down the north flank that threatened a major highway. During the eruption, there was a need for updated terrain data to update...

Wetlands play an important role in carbon retention, which is greatly dependent on hydrological conditions. Therefore, the interest in wetland hydrology has increased over recent decades. In wetland hydrology, stable water isotopes (δ2H, δ18O) have found increasing use, as laser-based instruments have become readily available and allow for faster analysis and lower costs. However, the...

This data release contains recorded longitudinal survey and water-quality data taken on the Maurice and Cohansey Rivers from October 2021 through April 2024. Data were collected with a multi-parameter sonde and includes specific conductance, water temperature, latitude, longitude, and date and time of sample collection. Additional data were collected with the sonde data including...

These data cover Devils Lake Basin of Northern Great Plains (NGP) region, North Dakota. We aimed to understand the mechanism of the Devils Lake responses and basin-wide hydrologic change under a wet-climatic regime using a process-based and cold region hydrologic model. The data include areal measurements (km2) of each of the Hydrological Response Units (HRUs) that were modeled.

This data release contains mercury concentration measurements in fish and benthic macroinvertebrates collected from southwestern Idaho and northern Nevada between 2007 and 2024. The dataset primarily includes total mercury (Hg) concentrations in muscle tissue of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)—sampled from three reservoirs on the Duck Valley Reservation (Mountain View Reservoir, Lake...

As part of the larger Great Lakes Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative (CSMI) , the U.S. Geological Survey Mercury, Metals, and Microplastics Research Laboratory (USGS M3RL) completed a binational assessment partnering with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), Environmental Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (ONRF)...

The U.S Geological Survey (USGS) is assessing the potential for in-situ addition of metal-based coagulants to enhance mercury (Hg) capture in the Cache Creek Settling Basin (CCSB), a wetland-like environment designed to trap mercury-contaminated sediments from upstream historical mining activities in the Cache Creek watershed. Laboratory and field tests by the USGS show that three tested

Metal concentrations were measured in samples collected in September 2023 and June 2024 at sites located in the lower Panther Creek watershed (Idaho) where historical mine wastes are present. In addition to legacy mining, the study area encompasses the Leesburg and Mackinaw Mining Districts, which were impacted by the 2022 Moose Fire. Samples included periphyton, seston, aquatic insect...

This data release provides a vector digital dataset developed from the published metamorphic map of New Hampshire. This data release is a digital representation of the metamorphic map shown on sheet 2 of the bedrock geologic map of Lyons and others (1997). The original publication from 1997 was available in paper only. A scanned raster version of the 1997 map was obtained from the...
