A three-dimensional steady-state groundwater flow model is coupled with the particle-tracking program, MODPATH, to assess the fate and transport of volatile organic compound plumes within the Magothy and upper glacial aquifers in southeastern Nassau County, NY. Knowledge of groundwater-flow patterns and rates is essential for effective management of groundwater resources and for mitigation of pot

A previously developed three-dimensional steady-state groundwater flow model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205091) is used to assist resource managers and planners in developing informed strategies to address nitrogen loading to coastal water bodies of Long Island, New York. Coastal water bodies of Long Island are important economic and recreational resources for the region. Therefore, the U.S

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS), developed a three-dimensional groundwater-flow model to simulate climate change related changes in depth to the water table and depth to freshwater/saltwater interfaces for the Fire Island National Seashore, New York. An existing SEAWAT three-dimensional variable-density groundwater flow and transport model (https://d

In October and November of 2016 and 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey collected horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) data at 104 sites in the Genesee Valley, Livingston County, New York as part of a saline-groundwater investigation in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Resources. The HVSR technique, commonly referred to as the passive-seismic method, is used to

This is a single table containing measures of the amount of fat and meat consumed by 4 adult female and 5 adult male polar bears in U.S. zoos when provided both food sources ad libitum for 12-14 days. Trial length was intended to be 14 days, but trial dietary items ran out for two bears prior to the end of the trial (i.e., at 12 and 13 days instead of 14 days). The data set includes the weight of

We installed an eddy covariance station on July 22, 2014 at the Horseshoe Lake tree kill area on Mammoth Mountain, CA to monitor variations in magmatic CO2 emissions. Since then, this station has measured CO2, H2O and sensible and latent heat fluxes, air temperature and pressure, and wind speed and direction on a half-hourly basis. We also measured soil CO2 fluxes across the area (0.32 km2) using

These data represent estimates of den entrance and exit dates for female polar bears in the southern Beaufort and Chukchi Seas based on temperature sensor data obtained from satellite collars. An algorithm described in Olson et al. (2017) was used to determine whether the female entered a den and further analyses using temperature data as described in Olson et al. (2017) were used to assess den en

This dataset contains Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) footage from the 2018 summit collapse of Kilauea Volcano, Island of Hawai'i. The intrusion of magma into Kilauea's lower East Rift Zone triggered draining of the summit lava lake and magma withdrawal from the shallow reservoir. This resulted in 62 subsequent collapse events at the summit between May and early-August 2018. Each collapse event

This dataset describes survey data collected for the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the agency in charge of regulating Colorado River water control operations impounding the Lake Powell reservoir. Additional intent of the collected data was to assure consistencies among gaging elevations at Glen Canyon Dam near Page, Arizona as well as verification and alignment of a recently published topob

This data release presents nearshore bathymetry data collected at the mouth of the Unalakleet River in Alaska, near the city of Unalakleet. The data were collected in August 2019 by the U.S. Geological Survey, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Nearshore bathymetry was measured along survey lines from the shore to a depth of approximately -7.4 m NAVD88 and in a portion of the estuary close

The dataset contains GPS survey data collected at Colorado River at Salt Wash near Moab, UT, as part of a surface velocity mapping effort. The survey was conducted on June 9, 2020, and documents ground control points for a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) survey. The survey was performed using Leica GS14 RTK GPS equipment, S/N base-2806898, S/N rover-2806883.

The dataset consists of a shapefile of measurements of surface velocity magnitude and direction at the Colorado River at Salt Wash near Moab, UT, on June 10, 2020. The dataset contains approximately 1.4 km of river length. The surface velocity measurements were made by applying Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) techniques, using overlapping videos collected by small Unmanned Aircraft
