Data from 1978 - 2014 are from U.S. waters of Lake Ontario while data from 2015 - 2024 include both U.S. and Canadian waters of Lake Ontario. Details...

We examined the effects of local and landscape level metrics on Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus melodus) daily nest survival rates using a long-term dataset from coastal New Jersey. Local-level metrics thought to be important determinants of nest success were collected from 1993 to 2016. Landscape metrics were examined over a from 2006 to 2016.

This dataset contains shorebird survey data conducted before (pre) and after (post) barrier island restoration of Cat and Ship Island, Mississippi. The Mississippi barrier islands provide critical habitat for migratory and resident shorebirds, including many federally threatened and endangered (T&E) species. Long-term monitoring of shorebirds before and after restoration is essential to...

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Sierra Madre-Elkhead Mountains-Medicine Bow Mountains region of southern Wyoming and northern Colorado. The airborne survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative. The survey was designed to meet complementary needs related to geologic mapping and

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Cougar Reservoir, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 158-meter ([m]; 518-foot [ft]) tall Cougar Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in December 2023 when...

Topographic data were collected along select erosional features within or adjacent to channels exposed in Fern Ridge Lake, Oregon, in 2023 and 2024 during low pool. Measurements were focused on features that displayed evidence of past or ongoing fluvial erosion and included landforms such as rills, gulleys and channel segments with knickpoints. The survey data were collected during...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Hills Creek Lake, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 92-meter ([m]; 302-foot [ft]) tall Hills Creek Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) on December 20, 2023...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Cottage Grove Lake, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 29-meter ([m]; 95-foot [ft]) tall Cottage Grove Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in December 2023...

In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surveyed ground control points and coordinated aerial photograph acquisition of Dorena Lake, a multi-purpose reservoir in western Oregon impounded by the 44-meter ([m]; 144-foot [ft]) tall Dorena Dam. Aerial photographs were acquired by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) in December 2023 when water...

The monitoring of landscape change is widely recognized as an important component towards understanding how the Earth changes and the impacts of, and to, human societies. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center has been developing a monitoring capability suitable for monitoring land change along with climate-related factors towards the long...

A MODFLOW-6 groundwater flow model of the Shell Valley aquifer near the Turtle Mountain Band of the Chippewa Indians land area representation in northern North Dakota was constructed to improve the understanding and management of the water-supply resources. The model area included sub-watersheds containing the extent of the Shell Valley aquifer approximately between the towns of St. John...
