Data

These datasets contain information on the probabilities of storm-induced erosion (collision, overwash and inundation) on sandy beaches along the U.S. Gulf coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama during hurricane impact conditions of Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020. The analysis is based on a storm-impact scaling model that uses observations of dune morphology combined with

U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a data collection campaign from the 3rd of June to the 22nd of July in 2024, using various methods to record geomorphic and habitat indicators throughout 30 streams in the Maryland-Washington, DC-Virginia Developed Piedmont region. Field methods included GNSS surveys, gravelometer-based pebble count readings, visual assessments, and...

This data release contains summary metrics describing stream stage, stream water temperature, and short-term climate conditions (daily precipitation and air temperature) for 30 streams spanning gradients of forest and agricultural land uses and the implementation of agricultural best management practices in a mixed agricultural region in Pennsylvania and Maryland, USA. This setting is...

This Data Release serves as a companion to the USGS Scientific Investigations Report titled "Streamflow Characterization and Effects of Highway Construction on Water-quality and Channel Morphology of the French Broad River near Highway Construction in Buncombe and Henderson Counties, North Carolina, 2019-2022" (Stillwell and others, 2026). Two tables of data are included in this Data...

This data release includes information on data from 72 streamflow or surface-water presence datasets in the Conterminous United States. It includes location, dataset, parent dataset or publication, site identification (if available), start year, end year, number of years, number of days, frequency of data collection, Strahler stream order, and headwater status.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Transportation, developed peak-, mean-, and low-streamflow regional-regression equations for natural streamflow in central and western Colorado. A total of 418 streamgages were selected for the study having a minimum of 10 years of unregulated streamflows. This data release presents hydrologic data through...

This data release provides the input and output files, metadata, and R scripts used to apply a Structural Topic Model (STM) to public (local news articles) and scientific (abstracts) discourse on water quality in the Illinois River Basin (ILRB). A total of 6,822 local news articles published from 2018 through 2022, and 190 scientific abstracts published from 2018 through 2023 were...

The dataset is a 3 m spatial resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) representing terrain heights in northern Vicksburg, MS and Vicksburg National Military Park in 1938. The DEM was created using structure from motion-aided (SfM-aided) photogrammetry techniques in Agisoft Metashape (v 2.1.1). The aerial images were acquired on June 30, 1938 by Pan American Aerial Surveys for the U.S...

Seafloor features identified as headward eroding mass failure scarps were digitized by hand from high-resolution multibeam bathymetry compilations (30 m grids) across the Cascadia subduction zone, which spans the region offshore of northern California, Oregon and Washington. These features were initially published by Hill et al. (2022; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2022.117797) and here...

Suitable spawning substrates, such as bedrock, boulder/cobble, and gravel, for Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) that were were mapped in tributaries of Lake Eufaula (Deep Fork River and Brushy Creek) and Hugo Lake (Kiamichi River) via Humminbird Helix 10 sidescan sonar. These datasets show the mosaicked image files and locations of four different substrate types (bedrock, boulder/cobble...

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill on April 20, 2010, caused extensive injury to natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico, and Gavia immer (common loon) were negatively affected from the spill. The Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group funded the project Restoration of Common Loons in Minnesota to restore common loons lost to the spill. In 2020–2021, study lakes in a seven-county region in...
