Map of eelgrass distribution and field survey points in Chignik Lagoon and Mud Bay, Alaska in 2010

This doi was reserved and published in error. Field survey data of eelgrass distribution and abundance at Chignik Lagoon are available in a USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9URZJYW Map data of eelgrass distribution from locations in Alaska (including Chignik Lagoon) are available in a USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9WEK4JI

Data and results for GIS-based identification of areas that have resource potential for lode gold deposits in Alaska

This data release contains the analytical results and evaluated source data files of geospatial analyses for identifying areas in Alaska that may be prospective for different types of lode gold deposits, including orogenic, reduced-intrusion-related, epithermal, and gold-bearing porphyry. The spatial analysis is based on queries of statewide source datasets of aeromagnetic surveys, Alaska Geochemi

Predicted Calving and Post-calving Season Resource Use of the Porcupine Caribou Herd During 2012-2018 With Future Projections for the 2030s, 2040s, and 2050s

This dataset contains rasters and polygon shapefiles related to predicted resource use of the Porcupine Caribou Herd (PCH) during the calving (26 May-10 June) and post-calving (11-30 June) seasons in Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Resource selection was analyzed for each season using random forest models, which compared female caribou GPS collar locations (2012-2018) to available locations within

Tracking Data for Whooper Swans (Cygnus cygnus)

This metadata document describes the data contained in the "processedData" folder of this data package. This data package contains all data collected by the Argos System from 17 satellite transmitters attached to Whooper Swans at a non-breeding site in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, 2009. The raw data were processed to accomplish two goals: flag implausible location estimates and decode raw sensor data

Tracking Data for Kittlitz's Murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris)

This metadata document describes the data contained in the "rawData" folder of this data package. This data package contains all data collected by the Argos System from 47 satellite transmitters attached to Kittlitz's Murrelets captured along the north Gulf of Alaska, during May-July 2009-2015. Five data files are included in the "rawData" folder of this data package. Two data files (with identica

Pacific common eider (Somateria mollissima v-nigrum) nest records, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, 1991-2004

This data are a single table of nest records from a multi-year study of Pacific Common Eider (Somateria mollissima v-nigrum) biology that was conducted along the lower Kashunuk River, Kigigak Island, and the mouth of the Tutakoke River on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta from 1991-2004.

Morphometric and Reproductive Status Data for Sea Otters Collected or Captured in Alaska

This dataset includes morphometric measurements and pregnancy / dependency status from sea otters captured or collected (experimental harvests or recovered after the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill) in Alaska, 1947-2019 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Data collected include total body length, tail length, body mass, axillary girth, paw width, canine diam

Data and analysis for GIS-based identification of areas that have resource potential for sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits in Alaska

This data release contains the analytical results of a spatial analyses for the resource potential of sediment-hosted Pb-Zn (lead-zinc) deposits in the state of Alaska. Sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits in Alaska include those contained in carbonate rock and in clastic-dominated sequences. The geographic information system (GIS) analysis queried three publicly available statewide datasets in areas de

Tracking Data for Whimbrels (Numenius phaeopus)

This metadata document describes the data contained in the "processedData" folder of this data package. This data package contains all data collected by the Argos System from 32 satellite transmitters attached to Whimbrels on their breeding range in arctic and western Alaska, 2006-2010. The raw data were processed to accomplish two goals: flag implausible location estimates and decode raw sensor d

Insect Emergence from Arctic Coastal Plain Thaw Ponds, 2012-2013

This dataset provides information on the identity and number of insects that emerged from thaw pond basins on the central Arctic Coastal Plain, Alaska, during the summer growing season in 2012 and 2013. Collections were made using passive floating emergence traps in pond centers and margins from four types of ponds: low centered polygons, troughs, small coalescent, and large coalescent. A single t

Geologic Inputs for the 2023 Alaska Update to the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM)

This data release is composed of three crustal (as opposed to subduction zone) geologic input datasets for the 2023 Alaska update to the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM): 1) fault section vector line data, 2) fault zone vector polygon data, and 3) accompanying earthquake geology attributes.

Alaska Fault Trace Mapping, 2021

This dataset provides a detailed (1:10,000) digital map of fault and fold traces in Alaska, USA based on features identified in the freely available ArcticDEM 3.0. The fault traces represented in this dataset either revise the location and accuracy of known active faults or folds archived in the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database, or represent the surface traces of active structures not previ
