Data

This dataset includes U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) flood-frequency analysis software PeakFQ input and output files for 299 streamgages in Wisconsin. Input files for each streamgage include peak streamflow data through 2020 and PeakFQ specification files. Output files are text files (.prt) with flood-frequency results.

This data release contains input and output files for PeakFQ models for 122 selected streamgages in or near Delaware. For each PeakFQ model, we provide the input peak flow file (.txt), peak flow specification file (.psf), model outputs in the form of .PRT and .EXP files, and a plot of peak flow estimates with fit relationship (.EMF). The PeakFQ models provided are for the weighted skew...

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to...

The Pennsylvania Groundwater Monitoring Network (GWMN) is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey Pennsylvania Water Science Center and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP) that samples ambient groundwater quality wells throughout the State. Data collection has occurred since 2015 for major ions, trace metals, nutrients, and organic compounds...

This data set provides sample information, microsatellite genotype, and NCBI accession numbers for mitochondrial DNA sequences of peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) from North America and Russia.

This data release contains a set of permeameter test data collected in February and March of 2014 on the Cedar River near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The permeameter tests were performed in proximity to five horizontal collector wells (HCs) 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, and three vertical wells that are operated by the City of Cedar Rapids. Each dataset represents groundwater levels over time while...

Hybrid sunflower production occurs near Sacramento in Northern California where seed treatments are commonly used. In this study, four locations were sampled in 2016 as matched pairs; half of each field was sown with thiamethoxam treated seed and half without. In addition to the thiamethoxam seed treatment, all seeds were coated with two fungicides, fludioxonil and mefenoxam/metalaxyl...

Zooplankton samples were collected at a site in the Yolo Bypass in Northern California and at a comparison site on the Sacramento River below the city of Sacramento and analyzed for a large suite of current-use pesticides and degradates. Samples were collected biweekly in the summer/fall 2017 and 2018, and from May 2019-March 2020. Samples were collected by towing a 150-micron conical...

This data release contains two tables-one table of field spike recovery data and one table of lab reagent spike recovery data-for pesticides and pesticide degradates analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) schedule 2437, and associated metadata. The table of field spike recovery data includes results from paired environmental and spike samples collected by the...

This data release includes sampling location, pesticide concentrations in passive samplers (silicone bands) and bees foraging in Conservation Reserve Program fields. Sampling took place during July and August of 2019. Fields were located on private land managed for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Conservation Reserve Program in eastern central Iowa, U.S.A.

This dataset includes pesticides and pesticide transformation products in 15 tributaries of the Great Lakes. Pesticides were monitored using polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) to estimate concentrations in water following standard protocols (Alvarez, 2010) in June and July 2016. POCIS extracts were analyzed for 225 chemicals (USGS National Water Quality Laboratory...

This dataset consists of select contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) including pesticides and transformation products, pharmaceuticals and transformation products, and wastewater indicator compound results measured in 131 surface water, 129 bottom sediment, 7 field replicate, and 6 field blank samples collected from 131 sites located on 27 tributaries of the Great Lakes during the...
