Zircon U-Pb, Organic Carbon Isotope, and Geochemistry Data from the Hue Shale and Canning Formation, Arctic Alaska, 2025 Zircon U-Pb, Organic Carbon Isotope, and Geochemistry Data from the Hue Shale and Canning Formation, Arctic Alaska, 2025

This dataset contains results from three stratigraphic sections of the Hue Shale located in and adjacent to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska. Sample heights were measured with a tape measure in continuous successions. Zircon grains from volcanic ashes were analyzed via laser ablation at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) using a Photon Machines...

Whole Rock Major and Trace Element Chemistry for Igneous, Metamorphic, and Mineralized Rocks Collected for Select Projects in Alaska Whole Rock Major and Trace Element Chemistry for Igneous, Metamorphic, and Mineralized Rocks Collected for Select Projects in Alaska

This dataset consists of one table containing whole-rock geochemistry data for 251 igneous, metamorphic, and mineralized (metasomatic) rocks from various locations across Alaska in support of mineral assessments of critical minerals and transboundary watersheds. The samples were collected mainly between 2019 and 2023, and all materials were analyzed by ALS Global, between 2019 and 2023...

Avian Point-Count Data from Boreal Alaska and Maps of Predicted Population Density for Lesser Yellowlegs, Olive-sided Flycatcher, and Rusty Blackbird, 2001-2020 Avian Point-Count Data from Boreal Alaska and Maps of Predicted Population Density for Lesser Yellowlegs, Olive-sided Flycatcher, and Rusty Blackbird, 2001-2020

This data package contains 1) field data and 2) predicted distributions of three species of boreal-nesting birds in interior Alaska: Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes), Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi), and Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus). The data are compiled from several monitoring programs: Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey, Alaska Off-road Point-count Program, Susitna...

Gene transcription in Pacific Salmon Gene transcription in Pacific Salmon

This data release contains one table with gene transcription results from muscle samples collected from fish occupying freshwater in various Alaskan watersheds. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) results from fish included in this data release are published in a separate data release available at https://doi.org/10.5066/P13ZYKWR.

Population Genetic Data of Breeding and Wintering King Eiders (Somateria spectabilis) Population Genetic Data of Breeding and Wintering King Eiders (Somateria spectabilis)

This data release includes one table of nuclear microsatellite genotypes and mitochondrial DNA haplotypes from the cytochrome b region in King Eider. This information was used to determine levels of population genetic differentiation among breeding and wintering sites of King Eiders (Somateria fischeri).
