Tools and metadata for the USGS Model Catalog.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed an R package called dataRetrieval to help simplify the process of discovering and retrieving water quality sample data, streamflow, groundwater, and other data available from Federal hydrologic web services such as National Water Information Systems (NWIS), the EPA Water Quality Exchange (WQX) System, and the National Hydrologic Dataset via the...

Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA; Iverson et al. 2004) has become a common method of estimating diet composition, especially for marine mammals, but the performance of the method has received limited investigation. Bromaghin et al. (In press) used computer simulation to compare the bias of several QFASA estimators and developed recommendations regarding estimator...

The MODFLOW One-Water Hydrologic Flow Model (MF-OWHM) is an integrated hydrologic model designed for the analysis of conjunctive-use management.

This software release contains one R script file that allows the user to download data and reproduce all of the figures and analyses associated with DiRenzo et al. In the R script, we provide a guide to understanding and validating complex models using data simulations. In an effort to facilitate the implementation of these methods, we provide a running example throughout DiRenzo et al...

We developed a method to construct hierarchically nested and biologically relevant groupings of similar habitats associated with field surveys while considering structure/connectedness (movements between habitats). This approach can support mobile species using high fidelity sites where monitoring during surveys occurs, such as birthing grounds, breeding grounds, or stopovers/seasonal...

The distance within which populations respond to features in a landscape (scale of effect) can indicate how disturbance and management may affect wildlife. Using annual counts of male greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) attending 584 leks in southwest Wyoming (2003-2019) and estimates of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) cover from a remote sensing product (Rigge et al., 2021...

This version of ModelMuse fixes a serious bug in ModelMuse version 5.1.

The ReplicateChar package in R language provides functions for visualization and analysis of replicated charcoal counts within a discreet sedimentary horizon. The package consists of 1000+ lines of code and requires Windows OS for full functionality. It also integrates and automates the CharAnalysis.exe software (Higuera et.al) and allows for more efficient run times of high volumes of...

ModelMuse version 5.1 updates version 5.0 by adding support for the groundwater transport process and time series files in MODFLOW 6.

A Google Earth Engine (GEE) application was developed to explore the spatial distribution map of potential percent change (2020 compared to 1985) of design peak-flow, an average percent change (average of pixels within the selected urban area) as text, and three time-series (1985-2020) charts of design peak-flow for three precipitation frequencies (with three recurrence interval and...
