Data

This data set consists of digital data describing wetlands and uplands habitats for the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (MsCIP) area, consisting of Cat, Ship, Horn and Petit Bois Islands for the year 2021. Wetlands were classified using the Cowardin, et al., (1979) wetlands classification scheme to the level of freshwater and tidal salinity modifiers. For this dataset, upland...

Management of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon Idella) has become of great interest to fisheries managers throughout multiple watersheds where they have become established. Grass Carp baits have been tested as part of an integrated pest management plan to aggregate fish and increase catchability. However, the habitats, water depth, and structures used by Grass Carp remain poorly...

To understand water scarcity issues in the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB), our research team collaborated with librarians at the Department of Interior with access to Lexis Nexis to query its newspaper and congressional research databases for topics of interest between 2000 and 2024 in our area of interest in the UCRB. The data were pre-processed into a tabular format and loaded into...

The Yuma Desalting Plant (YDP), which includes the Water Quality Improvement Center (WQIC), discharges effluent from desalted water into the Colorado River in Yuma, AZ just upstream of the Northerly International Boundary (NIB) of the United States and Mexico. Point source effluent from YDP discharges as surface flow from the Main Outlet Drain Extension II (MODE II) into the Colorado...

Snow and Canopy data for a forest snow web interface. The USGS developed a new snow model that better represents forest-snow interactions and the results are displayed in an interactive web-platform. This platform allows an end user to query the results to better understand how changing forests may impact snow water resources within the model domain. These data are from existing...

This data release provides details on a turbidity-derived suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) model for USGS site 06887000, the Big Blue River near Manhattan, Kansas. This includes a model archival summary for SSC, developed to compute 5- to 15-minute, hourly, or daily SSC from July 26, 2018, onward. This model is specific to USGS site 06887000, the Big Blue River near Manhattan...

Regression models for estimating suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and loads were developed using the R package rloadest for U.S. Geological Survey streamgage Snake River at Weiser, Idaho (13269000). Samples for suspended sediment concentration were collected in two periods: the historical (1977-2003) and modern (2017-22) periods. Data and metadata for all samples collected at this...

This model archive summary (MAS) and associated model calibration dataset documents the suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) model developed to compute 15-minute, near-real-time SSC at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage station 06329500, Yellowstone River near Sidney, Montana (MT) for calendar years 2017-2021. This model is specific to USGS site 06329500, Yellowstone River near...

This model archive summary (MAS) and associated model calibration dataset documents the suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) model developed to compute 15-minute, near-real-time SSC at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage station 06329500, Yellowstone River near Sidney, Montana (MT) for calendar years 2022-2024 and is the model currently in use. This model is specific to USGS site...

This model archive summary (MAS) and associated model calibration data describes a surrogate model used to compute suspended-sediment concentrations (SSC) at USGS streamgage 11516530 from October 2023 to December 2024. The period of analysis computes SSC during the drawdown and removals of three dams upstream of the streamgage and represents novel suspended-sediment transport conditions...

This Model Archive Summary (MAS) describes the development of a turbidity derived suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) time-series computation model. The MAS includes all the methods and techniques used to develop the model for USGS station 11313315 Old River Near Byron, California. The time-series suspended-sediment concentration data are representative of the cross section and are...

Continuous 15-minute time-series suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) data computed from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) instream turbidity data using a YSI EXO2 multi-parameter water quality sonde for the San Joaquin River at Prisoners Point near Terminous, California, USGS station #11313460. A Model Archive Summary (MAS) describes the development of a continuous 15-minute SSC time...
