Data Releases

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) cooperated with Miami-Dade County to map the approximate inland extent of saltwater intrusion in the Biscayne aquifer in eastern Miami-Dade County, Florida in 2022. This map is a continuation of a series of maps, the most recent of which was published in 2018, which have helped to track the position of the saltwater interface over time and have improved understand

This data release includes datasets provided by the Woolnough Laboratory at Central Michigan University. These data were collected as a part of a laboratory exposure experiment, conducted in 2018, examining the effects of agricultural and urban contaminant mixtures on two life stages (larval and juvenile) of the freshwater mussel, plain pocketbook (Lampsilis cardium), using largemouth bass (Microp

Three semi-automated detection approaches using Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) have been performed to identify artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) riverine dredges on the Madeira River in Brazil. The methods are: i) Search for Unidentified Maritime Objects (SUMO), an established method for large ocean ship detection; and two techniques specifically developed for riverine environments

Little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) weights and SARS-CoV2 test results were collected as part of study to assess transmission potential of SARS-CoV2 in North American bat populations. It has been proposed that the SARS-CoV-2 virus originated in Asian bats and subsequently spread through human populations as a pandemic. There is concern that infected humans could transmit the virus to native North

Tiltmeter data from stations BLB, MCC, MLO, MOK, and SLC from January 1 to December 31, 2021.

Tiltmeter data from stations BLB, MCC, MLO, MOK, and SLC from January 1 to December 31, 2022, spanning the Mauna Loa 2022 eruption and unrest.

These data consist of plot-level plant species cover measurements from numerous targeted post-fire vegetation studies across the western United States. This data release includes two data tables. The first data table: 'postfire_vegplot_dataset.csv', consists of absolute percent live foliar cover measurements of all plant species within plots from targeted post-fire vegetation studies, or 'datasets

This data release contains a zipped folder with two comma delimited data files and two companion metadata files. The data files are: 1.) sap_flux_data.csv and; 2.) biophysical_characteristics_of_instrumented_trees.csv. The sap flux data were stored in data loggers every 10-minutes for 15 riparian trees. Sap flux was estimated using heat-pulse velocity sensors at three depths into the xylem of each

This data release contains two tabular data files and associated metadata. One tabular data file has mean daily runoff from the lower stream gage and total daily precipitation from the Panola Mountain Research Watershed.The other tabular data file contains data edit codes, their descriptions, and the associated data quality code. 

Bio-logging is central to study of wildlife, but questions remain about minimization of effects from bio-logging devices. Rarely considered are changes bio-logging devices induce on an animal’s center of mass (COM) and resulting losses of flight control and stability. In a related paper (Katzner and Young 2024), we applied established aeronautical principles to estimate how the COM of a flying bir

These data include aerobic scope and thermal tolerance measurements from two cisco (Coregonus artedi) populations to evaluate performance and potential adaptation to warming Great Lakes habitats. Cisco come from two stock sources: 1) a northern latitude Lake Huron stock collected as gametes from Les Cheneaux Islands, MI, USA in 2015 and raised in a USGS aquaculture lab in Ann Arbor, MI, and 2) a s

These data describe the creation, execution, and results of an effort to model the risk of avian influenza transmission across the wild waterfowl - domestic poultry interface at weekly intervals for the contiguous United States.
