Broadband Ground Motion Simulations for 12 California Region Earthquakes
This Data Release consists of broadband ground motion simulations for 12 California region earthquakes. The ground motion simulations were done as part of a validation study that is described in more detail in Graves (2022). These simulations were computed using a hybrid simulation methodology (hereafter referred to as GP). The GP approach is a hybrid in that separate responses are computed for th
Great Lakes Sediment Surveillance Program: Mercury Concentrations and Mercury Stable Isotopes in Sediments of the Laurentian Great Lakes
As part of the larger Great Lakes Sediment Surveillance Program (GLSSP), the U.S. Geological Survey Mercury Research Laboratory (MRL) partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the University of Minnesota-Duluth to assess contaminant concentrations within surface sediments and sediment cores from the Laurentian Great Lakes. Sediments were assessed for mercury concentrations and me
Microplastics in the Alplaus Kill at Glenridge, NY (01355470), 2018-2019
This dataset enumerates the type, size, and color of microplastic particles collected every two weeks from the Alplaus Kill at Glenridge Road in Schenectady, NY (01355470) between November 2018 and December 2019. Ancillary data include stream discharge, sampling net dimensions, and stream velocity. Sampling and analytical methodology are described in the metadata.
Potential distribution of Japanese brome (Bromus japonicus) across the contiguous United States (October 2023)
This is a dataset containing the potential distribution of Japanese brome (Bromus japonicus). We developed habitat suitability models for Japanese brome, as suggested by Department of Interior land management agencies. We applied the modeling workflow developed in Young et al. 2020 to species not included in the original case studies. Our methodology balanced trade-offs between developing highly c
Molecular data used to test species boundaries, characterize phylogeographic patterns of genetic diversity, and guide the Endangered Species Act listing decision for a North American freshwater mussel species complex
Here we provide the molecular datasets and metadata associated with specimens used in the investigation of species boundaries and phylogeographic structure of two freshwater mussels, one common (Pleurobema sintoxia) and one being considered for protection under the Endangered Species Act (Pleurobema rubrum).
Adult mosquito and butterfly exposure to permethrin and relative risk following ULV sprays
This dataset contains data of permethrin residues on adult mosquitoes and adult butterflies following their exposure to ultra-low volume (ULV) sprays containing permethrin. The dataset also contains toxicity information for permethrin; first for adult mosquitoes and adult butterflies following their exposure to the ULV sprays, and for adult mosquitoes exposed during toxicity tests to determine med
Environmental DNA shedding rates in laboratory conditions for Cumberlandia monodonta, Actinonaias ligamentina, and Lampsilis siliquoidea.
Data describe designed environmental DNA (eDNA) experiments for the estimation of eDNA shedding rates for the spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta), mucket (Actinonaias ligamentina), and fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea) from water samples collected in the laboratory under differing laboratory conditions. Shedding rates were tested under variable mussel biomass, diet, and temperature. Parameters
Management summary table for INHABIT species potential distribution across the contiguous United States: additional management units
We developed habitat suitability models for invasive plant species selected by Department of Interior land management agencies. We applied the modeling workflow developed in Young et al. 2020 to species not included in the original case studies. Our methodology balanced trade-offs between developing highly customized models for a few species versus fitting non-specific and generic models for numer
Beach Profile Data Collected From Sand Key Beach in Clearwater, Florida
This dataset, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC), provides beach profile data collected at Sand Key Beach in Clearwater, Florida. Data were collected on foot by a person equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna affixed to a surveying backpack outfitted for surveying location and elevation data (XYZ) along pre-determi
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity Work Group's Pilot Area's Post-Fiscal Year 2021 Forest Habitat Connectivity
This dataset is the second installment of a yearly connectivity update for forested habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity (TH&C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, WI and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin boundary in the so
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity Work Group's Pilot Area's Post-Fiscal Year 2022 Open Habitat Connectivity
This dataset is the third installment of a yearly connectivity update for forested habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity (TH&C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, WI and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin boundary in the sou
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity Work Group's Pilot Area's Pre-Fiscal Year 2021 Open Habitat Connectivity
This dataset is the first installment of a yearly connectivity update for open habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity (TH&C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, WI and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin boundary in the south,
