Data

This data release contains the methodology and results of research focused on helping refine grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) removal efforts in Lake Erie. This research includes information regarding acoustic telemetry receivers deployed in Lake Erie and its tributaries during the study time frame, temperature data collected from stations previous research has shown grass carp...

This model application data release contains the model source code, model control files, input data file, and output prediction files from the application of seasonally dynamic “Spatially Referenced Regressions on Watershed attributes” (SPARROW) models (Schmadel and others, 2024) within the Upper Colorado River Basin for four constituents: baseflow, streamflow, total dissolved solids in...

This dataset collection supports adaptive management planning for black ash wetlands threatened by emerald ash borer (EAB) across Minnesota and provides the underlying data used in an ArcGIS StoryMap outlining strategies for black ash wetland management. There is one csv file containing wildlife habitat model data and four shapefiles included in this collection. The black ash complexes...

This data release contains rasters of modeled spawning habitat for spring Chinook salmon in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon for a range of streamflows and for various river corridors. Usable habitat area for spawning spring Chinook salmon was evaluated by integrating depth and velocity outputs from two-dimensional hydraulic models and estimates of riverbed grainsize with observed and...

This dataset records physical (photosynthetically available radiation, currents, wave action, and temperature) and physicochemical (specific conductivity, turbidity, pH, phycocyanin, chlorophyll, and dissolved oxygen) data from sensors moored during the winter season of 2024-2025 at two lake whitefish spawning reefs – Good Harbor Bay in Lake Michigan and Thunder Bay in Lake Huron. The...

These data were compiled to assess species performance for 59 native grass, forb, and shrub species that were seeded and (or) planted across 20 RestoreNet sites in the Southwest US. Objectives of our study were to assess species performance within and across ecoregions, across revegetation methods (seeding or outplanting greenhouse-grown seedlings), and by growth form (grass, forb, or...

Stable isotope dataset from fauna, particulate organic matter (POM) and sediments used to construct isotopic niches to compare trophic relationships in mesophotic coral habitats across the Gulf of America.

These data were compiled to support systematic analysis of ecological state and transition dynamics at the landscape scale in the Upper Colorado River Basin using published Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Ecological Site Descriptions (ESDs). Ecological sites are soil and climate-based classes of land that differ in potential plant communities and responses to disturbance...

Results of predicted groundwater levels and related spatial diagnostics, produced by an applied prediction-modeling statistical-research workflow, are provided as multi-banded GeoTIFF rasters for two custom bundles (classifications) of local aquifer codes for many thousands of wells in the hydrogeologically complex Chicot aquifer system, southwestern Louisiana. The modeling workflow was...

This data release provides gridded predictions of “typical” well depth for the hydrogeologically complex Chicot aquifer system, southwestern Louisiana. These predictions were made using an applied statistical prediction modeling workflow named welldepmod_make.R (Asquith and Lindaman, 2025) to estimate groundwater well depths for two custom bundles (classifications) of local aquifer codes...

The U.S. Geological Survey-Great Lakes Science Center (USGS-GLSC) began annual bottom trawl surveys of the Lake Huron prey fish community in 1976 to provide prey fish data for the Lake Huron fishery management community. The first full bottom trawl survey covering Michigan waters of Lake Huron was conducted in 1976. An integrated acoustics-midwater trawl survey was started by the USGS...

This dataset contains step lengths of individual loggerhead sea turtles tracked during their migration in the Gulf of America from 2008 to 2015. Information contained in the dataset includes platform terminal transmitter (PTT) number (a unique identifier for each turtle), the length of each move, year, location in either neritic or oceanic waters, date, longitude, latitude, difference...
