AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Datasets used to evaluate the effects of antecedent streamflow and sample timing on trend assessments of fish, invertebrate and diatom communities across the United States, 2002-12 (input)

Detecting trends in biological attributes is central to many stream monitoring programs; however, understanding how natural variability in environmental factors affects trend results is not well understood. We evaluated the influence of antecedent streamflow and sample timing (covariates) on trend estimates for fish, invertebrate, and diatom taxa richness and biolgical condition from 2002 to 2012 at 51 sites distributed across the conterminous United States. This data release contains all of the input and output files necessary to reproduce the results presented and discussed in the associated journal article.

Structure-from-Motion (SfM) surface models derived from seafloor video from the Channel Islands, California

Structure-from-Motion (SfM) surface models were created using seafloor video collected over a visible fault scarp in the Channel Islands, California, during a 2016 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) field activity. Four SfM surface models were created, each with a different combination of locating, scaling, and optimizing methods. Video imagery was collected using the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center's BOBSled, equipped with high-definition (720p) video cameras (video published in Coastal and Marine Geology Program video and photo portal, Golden and others, 2015). The sled was towed behind the R/V Shearwater and shipboard GPS locations were recorded every 1 second in the video's audio channel. The models were geolocated and scaled using either shipboard GPS or georeferencing the imagery to existing sonar bathymetry at a lower resolution (Cochrane and others, 2018). The models were optimized using either a fixed lens model or automatic calibration in the SfM software, and the files presented here are named to reflect their processing method: "AutoCal" refers to automatic calibration by the SfM software; "Cal" refers to image calibration using a fixed lens model; "Georef" refers to locations derived from georeferencing the video imagery to the existing sonar data; and "ShipGPS" refers to locations derived from the shipboard GPS embedded in the video. Each file was created using one of each of the calibration and location methods, indicated in the filename as "SfM_CalibrationMethod_LocationMethod_UTM10N."

Potential Wetland Extent Along the Saint Joseph River Between USGS Gaging Stations 04178000 and 04180500

The Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program administered by the NRCS. It provides technical and financial assistance to private landowners and Tribes to restore, protect, and enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring eligible land from agriculture. For a site to be a wetland eligible for restoration, it must be in a zone with sustained or frequent flooding for a period of 7 consecutive days on average at least once every 2 years (a value termed the 7MQ2). This study calculated the 7MQ2 flows for all the U.S. Geological Survey streamgages within the selected study reaches. These flows were related to the stage discharge tables for each streamgage and a corresponding elevation was determined. By use of the water-surface elevations (“inundation elevations”) along the rivers, an approximate extent of potential wetland for a restoration in agricultural land can be mapped. As part of the study, a set of maps representing the estimated potential wetland extents for each study reach was generated in a geographic information system (GIS) application by combining (1) a digital water-surface plane representing the surface of inundation elevation that sloped in the downstream direction of flow and (2) land-surface elevation data. The map products from this study will aid the NRCS and its partners with the onsite inundation-zone verification in agricultural land for a potential restoration.

SPARROW model simulated nutrient loads in streams of the Midcontinental Region of Canada and the United States, 2002 Base Year

The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model was developed to aid in the interpretation of monitoring data and simulate water-quality conditions in streams across the Midcontinental Region of Canada and the Unites States.  SPARROW is a hybrid empirical⁄process-based mass balance model that can be used to estimate the major sources and environmental factors that affect the long-term supply, transport, and fate of contaminants in streams. The spatially explicit model structure is defined by a river reach network coupled with contributing catchments. The model is calibrated by statistically relating watershed sources and transport-related properties to monitoring-based water-quality load estimates.  This USGS data release, prepared in cooperation with the International Joint Commission and National Research Council Canada, includes output files representing 2002 SPARROW simulations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in streams of the Midcontinent.  Model calibration and results are described in Robertson and others (2019, https://doi.org/10.1111/1752-1688.12792).  Geospatial data used for developing the Midcontinental SPARROW nutrient models are described in Vouk and others (2018, https://doi.org/10.4224/23004810).  Model calibration targets used in the SPARROW models are described in Saad and others (2018, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185051).

Hydrodynamic and sediment transport data from San Pablo Bay (northern San Francisco Bay), 2011-2012

The U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center collected data to investigate sediment dynamics in the shallows of San Pablo Bay in two deployments: February to March 2011 (ITX11) and May to June 2012 (ITX12). This data release includes time-series data and grain-size distributions from sediment grabs collected during the deployments. During each deployment, time series of current velocity, water depth, and turbidity were collected at several stations in the shallows, and one station in the channel.  Velocity and depth (pressure) were collected at high frequency (10 Hz) to allow calculation of wave parameters and turbulence statistics.

Histopathological assessment of the digestive gland of a freshwater snail (Lymnaea stagnalis) exposed to uranium

This dataset consists of measurements of the digestive gland in the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis orally exposed to uranium.  The objective of the study was to assess the morphological effects of uranium on the snail digestive gland by light microscopy. Laboratory-cultured L stagnalis were exposed to either synthetic or natural solid phases of uranium and a subset (6 controls and 6 exposed) were euthanized and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histopathological assessment. Slides were processed and stained with hematoxalin and eosin as per standard procedure (Luna 1968). The size of each sample, the length and width of digestive gland tubules (5 random glands per sample) and height of digestive cells (10 random cells per sample) were measured using Olympus CellSens camera software.  (Luna LG. 1968.  Manual of histologic staining methods of the armed forces institute of pathology, 3rd edn. McGraw-Hill, New York, NY.)

Histopathology of zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) orally exposed to clothianidin (ver. 2.0, October 2019)

This dataset reports select histopathological changes in liver, kidney, gonad, spleen, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, lung, or adrenal gland of zebra finches exposed to 15mg/kg, 18mg/kg, 30mg/kg, 60mg/kg, 75mg/kg, 125mg/kg, or 250mg/kg clothianidin (CTD) (with controls) by gavage, in water, or on millet seed either as a single dose or for 7 days. The goal of the project is to develop a subacute neonicotinoid toxicity model using zebra finches as a model passerine. We have completed two acute toxicity trials using CTD insecticide. Based on these studies, we estimate the no observable effect level (NOAEL) and the lowest observable effect level (LOAEL) for CTD in zebra finches to be 15 and 30 mg/kg body weight, respectively, and the concentration producing a toxic effect in 50% of treated birds (EC50) to be approximately 150mg/kg. We next exposed birds for 7 days to CTD in drinking water at nominal doses of 40, 20, 4, and 0mg/kg (cumulative 240, 140, 28, and 0mg/kg CTD). Clinical signs of toxicity were not observed in any bird. Lastly, birds were gavaged daily for 7 days with 18mg/kg body weight CTD dissolved in acetone and mixed with vegetable oil. Clinical signs of toxicity were observed beginning after the fourth exposure day and were similar to signs observed in acute (125 mg/kg) CTD dosing. In order to further refine our model, we re-tested CTD treatment via drinking water (at a higher dose of 60mg/kg), exposed birds to 7 days of CTD coated millet seed (15mg/kg, 30mg/kg and 60mg/kg), and extend the follow-up time following an acute exposure to 21 days. Tissues were scanned on at least 10x objective and lesions potentially associated with neonicotinoid exposure were scored on a severity scale of 0-3 (0: absent; 1: mild; 2: moderate; 3: severe). Despite clinical signs of toxicity, there were no consistent microscopic lesions of exposure at the dose levels examined.
