Pesticide persistence in weathered avian droppings

Dataset includes: Bird body weight, Number of seeds dosed per day per bird,amount of pesticide dosed, pesticide residues on seeds, weight of treated seed dosed per day, weight of fecal sample for each sample, residue analyses of fecal samples, the weather conditions during the two weathering periods

Methane emissions associated with bald cypress knees across the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley

Data shows CH4 fluxes from the upper portion of cypress knees across various climate and flooding gradients of the North American Baldcypress Swamp Network in the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley. Climate data in the form of temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and precipitation 3-days leading up to sampling date are also included. There various forms to calculate fluxes using con

Bathymetry and Water-Quality Data of Surface Water Bodies in Cook County, Illinois, 2023

In 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in collaboration with the Cook County Bureau of Technology (BoT), conducted comprehensive hydrographic and water quality surveys, along with activity and disturbance assessments of 58 total waterbodies encompassing lakes, rivers, and canals within Cook County, Illinois. These surveys and assessments describe the bathymetry, water-quality conditions, and

U-series Ages and Elevation Data of Late Pleistocene Corals From the Florida Keys

This data release compiles Uranium-series (U-series) data and descriptive collection information (such as sample/core identifier, location, elevation, etc.) for late Pleistocene coral subsamples from coral-reef cores previously collected throughout the Florida Keys by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers. The samples were collected under scientific research permits from the Florida Keys Natio

Channel Cross Sections of the Nooksack River near North Cedarville, WA, 2017-2021

This data release contains channel cross sections of the Nooksack River near North Cedarville, WA, collected during routine streamgaging and discharge measurement efforts at USGS streamgage 12210700. All cross sections were collected using an acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) from the downstream side of the Highway 542 bridge. Raw ADCP measurement data were processed using a combination of

Seepage-run discharge measurements, May 23, 2024, Waikoloa Stream, Hawai'i

This data release contains a comma-delimited ascii file of seven same-day, discrete discharge measurements made at sites along selected reaches of Waikoloa Stream, Hawai'i on May 23, 2024. These discrete discharge measurements form what is commonly referred to as a “seepage run.” The intent of the seepage run is to quantify the spatial distribution of streamflow along the reach during fair-weather

Major element chemistry of water from Old Faithful Geyser and the Firehole River, Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park

Between April and August 2009 four water samples were collected from the outflow channel of Old Faithful Geyser in the Upper Geyser Bain, Yellowstone National Park. The samples were collected during the main phase of the eruptions when water flow was at maximum rate. In addition, two samples of stream flow were collected in November 2016 from the Firehole River near the U.S. Geological Survey gagi

MODFLOW 6 models used to simulate the long-term average surficial groundwater system for the contiguous United States

Seventy-five steady state two-dimensional groundwater flow (MODFLOW-6) models of the shallow groundwater system were developed to map depth to water and estimate effective surficial transmissivity for the contiguous United States (CONUS). The models were driven by spatially-distributed recharge estimated by Reitz et al. using average water budget information for 1985-2015 and calibrated against lo

MODFLOW-2005 and MODPATH6 models used to simulate groundwater flow and nitrate transport in two tributaries to the Upper Chester River, Maryland

A previously developed steady state three-dimensional groundwater flow (MODFLOW-2005) and advective transport (MODPATH6) model was used to examine subsurface nitrate transport to wells and receiving streams in two subcatchments contributing to the Upper Chester River, Maryland. Multiple scenarios of flow and transport parameter fields (recharge, hydraulic conductivity, and porosity) were

Datasets for Evaluation and Review of Ecology-Focused Stream Studies, Fountain Creek Basin, Colorado

These data were used to describe temporal trends in fish and invertebrate communities in the Scientific Investigators Report: Evaluation and Review of Ecology-Focused Stream Studies to Support Cooperative Monitoring, Fountain Creek Basin, Colorado. This data release consists of invertebrate data collected between 1985 and 2022, fish data collected between 2003 and 2022, and the input and output fi

Geochemical data for the Cenomanian-Turonian Eagle Ford Group recorded in the USGS Gulf Coast 3 (GC-3) drill core of southwest Texas

The Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford Group in southwest Texas represents a geologic record of the Cenomanian-Turonian period in the southern Western Interior Seaway (WIS) of North America prior to and during the Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE-2). Geochemical data generated and compiled here were collected on core samples taken from a wellbore near Del Rio, TX for the purpose of better characterizing the p

Abundance, Biomass, and Density Data for Fishes and Amphipods in Prairie Pothole Region Wetlands in 2019 and 2020

This dataset includes information from 59 prairie pothole wetlands in Minnesota, collected in 2019 and 2020. The data includes wetland characteristics (e.g., size, depth, plant biomass, and water quality), multiple fish metrics, and multiple amphipod metrics. The amphipod species include Gammarus lacustris and Hyalella azteca. There are 22 species of fish recorded.
