Characterizing spatial uncertainty in satellite-derived burned area products is essential to accurately represent fire activity and manage fire-prone ecosystems. However, most product evaluations rely on summary statistics, where their use to adjust burned area estimates is unclear. This dataset provides a comprehensive characterization of the spatial and temporal uncertainty in the...

In this study we are deploying several sensor arrays within a small stream channel, the Rio De Las Vacas, in the Jemez mountains of Northern New Mexico in coordination with a local partner, who are implementing several low-tech process based restorative practices including Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs). This cooperation has allowed us to build a hydrological picture before and after the...

This data release contains audio data collected from 2021 to 2024, expanding on the dataset collected for a 2019 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study which tested the use of hydrophones to detect bedload mobilization and identify a streamflow threshold at which bedload began to mobilize in the Upper Colorado River (Kohn and others, 2020). Child item "Stationary Hydrophone Data collected...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coral Reef Ecosystems Studies project provides science that helps resource managers tasked with the stewardship of coral reef resources. This data release provides underwater temperature data recorded every fifteen minutes since 2019 at three coral reef locations in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The sites are on the fringing reef of the National Park...

This is the data archive for the publication Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States, Volume 6 and includes the collection of GIS map files that are mapped and described in the report. These map files are meant to provide a common spatial representation of the mapped migrations and seasonal ranges. This data release provides the means for ungulate migrations to be mapped and...

This item provides Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model input and output of a water budget simulation for the Mississippi Embayment Regional Aquifer System (MERAS) during the period 2000 to 2024. The output files include gridded daily data (1-kilometer resolution) for net infiltration (potential groundwater recharge), rejected net infiltration, interception, runoff, runoff outside (runoff that...

This data release includes the revised downscaled climate inputs and hydrologic outputs from the Basin Characterization Model (BCM) version 8 (v8), described in Flint and others (2021a), in a 30 by 30-meter spatial resolution at a monthly time step from water years 1896 to 2024 for the upper Feather River watershed. This data release includes five child items: 1. 30-year summaries, 2...

Linear regression models were developed using specific conductance to estimate chloride concentrations at stream and storm sewer sites monitored by the Upper Midwest Water Science Center (UMidWSC) for UMidWSC stakeholders. Methods for model development, application, and maintenance are described in Standard Operating Procedures for Computing Chloride Concentrations and Loads at Sites...

Large wood is an important part of ecosystem functions in rivers around the world, including serving as fish habitat, providing nutrient sources, and contributing to geomorphic processes. This dataset was produced to support the study of large wood dynamics in Pool 8 of the Upper Mississippi River System. The dataset contains 60 polygons located along shoreline of the main channel, side...

Lidar data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. Using a combination of laser range-finding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; Lidar instruments are able to make highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation. Breaklines are used in surface models to...

This dataset includes freshwater drum age data from five study reaches of the Mississippi River and one study reach from the Illinois River as presented in the manuscript Life history traits and population dynamics of Freshwater Drum across large river gradients. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S...

This exploratory study examined vegetation changes in agricultural fields using imagery analysis in the surface areas overlying the Flaxville aquifer and other aquifers in Montana from 1990 to 2020. Agricultural fields were manually digitized and can be found in flaxville_ag_fields.shp. This analysis used surface reflectance data from Landsat satellites to calculate the 95th percentile...
