Data

This data release presents chemical and biological results from an investigation of the fish uptake and effects from exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from groundwater contaminated by fire training activities on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Twenty-one day exposure experiments were conducted from July to August 2019 and from August to September 2021 using groundwater from...

This data release contains respiration and clearance rate data collected from laboratory experiments. Fatmucket mussels (Lampsilis siliquoidea) were placed in sealed containers to determine their oxygen consumption and excretion rates at two different environmentally relevant temperatures. Mussels were then placed into containers with food to determine how quickly they consume 2-60...

A Smart Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) system allows for the partially automated collection of cone penetrometer data (CPT) to determine mechanical properties of soil along a vertical profile. A smart DCP system was used to collect soil penetration-with-depth values at 19 sites across the mountainous regions of Puerto Rico. The 19 sites were co-located at the United States Geological...

This dataset contains results of generalized least-squares (GLS) regression for 63 streamflow gaging stations (streamgages) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on urban streams in Washington D.C. and parts of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. This dataset was created to support the Washington D.C. StreamStats project funded by the Washington D.C...

This dataset contains results of weighted least-squares (WLS) regression for 42 streamflow gaging stations (streamgages) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on urban streams in Alabama and Mississippi. WLS regression was used to relate drainage area and the percentages of the drainage basins of the streamgages in developed land use (the sum of classes 21-24 from the 2011...

NOAA’s Assessment Technical Support Unit (TSU) created a suite of temperature and precipitation metrics of extremes and threshold exceedance variables based on the Climate Model Intercomparison Program Phase 6 CMIP6 Localized Constructed Analogs (CMIP6-LOCA2) data set to support the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5). Following the v20240915 revision of the CMIP6-LOCA2...

The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring Program (SWAMP). The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands...

The data tables in this product include concentrations, detection frequencies, benchmark exceedances, and trends of pesticides in riverine surface water samples. The data are a product of a national-scale assessment of the status and trends of 84 pesticides at 81 sites during water years 2013 - 2022 conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Program. Data were...

Bald Eagle ridge, located about 14 km west of Leadville, Colorado, is slowly spreading and sagging, resulting in sackungen that have been monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) since the mid-1970s (for example, Varnes and others, 1989; Varnes and others, 1990; Varnes and others, 2000). The ridge forms the southeastern flank of the glaciated Busk Creek valley and is underlain by

We assessed the performance of the real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assay under different soil textures. We combined sand, silt and clay in different proportions to create experimental soils representative of southwest Wisconsin, USA. Experimental soils were spiked with a brain homogenate from a chronic wasting disease positive white-tailed deer (to test assay sensitivity)...

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...

Ontogenetic niche shifts are almost universal in fishes and many other organisms and are thus often important to factor in conservation planning. However, some aspects of ontogeny, such as trophic shifts, remain poorly understood in many fishes. Eye lens stable isotope analysis has proven a powerful tool in understanding the ontogeny of some marine species, but few studies have applied...
