This report summarizes the dating results from sedimentary deposits sampled by the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey and analyzed at the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory. Within this report, we detail the luminescence measurement, equivalent dose determination, and dating-related calculations. We recommend that this report be included as the supplementary...

This data release contains concentration and hazard score data for 16 contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) collected from surface waters throughout the Great Lakes basin. Concentration data were compiled from various online, published, or internal sources. Original data represent work conducted by federal, state, and local entities over a span of 30 years (1991 - 2021). Hazard scores...

A few studies have focused on avian gut virome variation in response to environmental stressors, but none have assessed virome in relation to chemically intensive crops, the production of which effects various aspects of avian health and fitness, and deleteriously alters available food resources. In this study we used shotgun metatranscriptomics (2 x 150bp; Illumina HiSeq 4000 with...

This data release contains digital radiometric flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over southeastern Illinois, western Kentucky, and southern Indiana, 2019 (version 2.0, August 2025). Data and documentation for the original version, including associated airborne magnetic data, can be found at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9R05B0M. The airborne...

This data release provides tidally corrected shoreline positions for five groin field sites of around the United States (Ventura, CA, Newport Beach, CA , Santa Monica, CA, Long Branch, NJ, Sandwich, MA). Both CSV files of tidally corrected shorelines and GeoJSON files of the region of interests (ROIs), transects, and reference shorelines are provided within respective zip files. Both...

The North American Bird Banding Program is administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL), Eastern Ecological Science Center at the Patuxent Research Refuge (EESC) and in Canada by the Bird Banding Office (BBO), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). This long-term dataset (1960-2025) consists of over 85 million bird banding, encounter and...

The data support a study that surveyed the spatial and seasonal variability of northern pike (Esox lucius) environmental DNA (eDNA) between river kilometer 1103 and 1158 in Lake Roosevelt, Washington, USA. The metadata represent qPCR quantification cycle (Cq) values for a northern pike assay performed on water samples collected at the same locations in June and September 2022, water...

Federally-threatened ago-0 spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were acoustic tagged and released near Lookout Point Reservoir to estimate passage and survival during the second year of an experimental reservoir drawdown operation that was designed to facilitate downstream passage through two reservoirs and dams. The experimental operation consisted of lowering the water...

Data were collected as part of a long-term capture-recapture program to assess the population dynamics of two long-lived, federally endangered catostomids in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. Lost River suckers (LRS; Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (SNS; Chasmistes brevirostris) have been captured and tagged with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags during their spawning...

Viral nervous necrosis is a neurologic disease that causes vacuolating lesions in the brain and retina of a broad range of marine fish species. The viral agent responsible is nervous necrosis virus (NNV), a Betanodavirus within the family Nodaviridae. Based on genetic characterization of the viral genome, at least four species of NNV are known to exist, though this diversity is likely...

Juvenile Chinook salmon (age 0 and age 1), steelhead, and sockeye salmon were tagged with acoustic transmitters and released at sites along the Yakima River in and below Yakima, WA from 2018 to 2024. Detection sites varied across years but included arrays placed at diversion dams, canals, hydropower facilities, and other locations throughout the Yakima and Columbia rivers. Study design...

Within New Jersey’s Raritan Basin Water Supply Complex, multiple lakes and reservoirs with persistent and recurrent cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) discharge water which ultimately travels downstream in surface water to drinking-water intakes. Cyanobacteria and other water-quality data were collected as part of a collaborative study among multiple agencies, including the...
