Evaluation of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) as a non-physical deterrent to invasive Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) and Rusty Crayfish (Faxonius rusticus): Data

This data was collected to determine responses of red swamp crayfish and rusty crayfish to CO2-enriched water to determine the utility of CO2 as a crayfish control tool. Avoidance tests, emergence tests, and loss of equilibrium (LOE) tests were performed to determine crayfish behavior in CO2-enriched water. Avoidance data (TimeinChamber2.csv, Crossings.csv, FirstLastShuttle.csv, AvoidanceLengthsandWeights.csv) were collected on 20171220 through 20180214. CO2 was injected in one side of a choice chamber under light or dark conditions and 10oC or 24oC water temperature. Shuttle movements were recorded and used to determine the number of crossings from the CO2 injected side to the non-injected side, the CO2 concentration and time of the first and last shuttle after CO2 injection began, and the total times spent in the injected and non-injected chambers. Loss of equilibrium (LOE) data were collected on 20180117 through 20180119 (LOEStats.csv). Crayfish were placed in a bucket with water and CO2 was injected into the bucket until the crayfish lost equilibrium. The concentration of CO2 and time until LOE occurred was recorded along with other behaviors induced by the elevated CO2 concentration. Red swamp crayfish emergence data was collected on 20180221 through 20180227 (Incline.csv). One side of the choice chamber used in the behavior/shuttle trials was isolated and an incline ramp was placed on the tank. CO2 was then injected into the tank and the behavior of the crayfish was recorded. Behavior data was recorded as in the tank, on the incline, or out of the water.

Data on the effects of deltamethrin and fipronil on black-tailed prairie dog ectoparasites, South Dakota, USA, 2018–2019

Data were collected to investigate effects of deltamethrin and fipronil on ectoparasites from black-tailed prairie dogs in South Dakota, USA. In late-July 2018, we treated 3 sites with 0.05% deltamethrin dust and 5 sites with host-fed 0.005% fipronil grain. Three non-treated sites functioned as experimental baselines. We collected ectoparasites before treatments (June-July 2018) and after treatments (August-October 2018, June-July 2019). We combed ectoparasites from live-trapped, anesthetized prairie dogs. Trapping on treated and non-treated sites occurred simultaneously or nearly simultaneously in each year.  Detected ectoparasites were counted and placed back on the prairie dogs from which they were collected to reduce a removal effect. Ectoparasites included fleas, lice, and mites.

Water-quality data for nitrate plus nitrite, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus for sites in Red River of the North basin, 1970-2017

This child page contains 34 csv files, site_qw_nuts, which contain observations of nitrate plus nitrite as nitrogen (npnN), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) for each site . Each file includes date of observation, measured value of water-quality constituent, remark code for the measured value, and site name. Availability of observations of water-quality constituents depended upon collecting agency and varied by site and constituent.  Not all sites had observations for all constituents. The format of the csv file (date format and column headings) is designed to meet the specific requirements of file format for R-QWTREND. If csv files are opened directly in excel, the format of the data can change. To ensure the data are in the proper format for R-QWTREND, files should be opened in a text editor. The "site" in site_qw_nuts can be cross-referenced to the main report by downloading the zipped folder RRTrend from child page, "Scripts to run R-QWTREND models and produce results" and navigating to the file siteinfo_appendix.txt.

Estimated low-flow statistics at ungaged stream locations in New Jersey, water year 2019

Estimates of various low-flow statistics were computed at 53 ungaged stream locations throughout New Jersey during the 2019 water year using methods in the published reports, 1) Streamflow characteristics and trends in New Jersey, water years 1897-2003 (Watson and others, 2005) and 2) Implementation of MOVE.1, censored MOVE.1, and piecewise MOVE.1 low-flow regressions with applications at partial-record streamgaging stations in New Jersey (Colarullo and others, 2018). The estimates are computed as needed for use in water resources permitting, assessment, and management by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The data release includes the stream name, location, method of estimation, drainage area, and intended use of the low-flow statistics computed during the 2019 water year. The data are provided as both a plain text file and ArcGIS shapefile format.

Drought conditions during NHD topographic surveys and other streamflow observations in the Pacific Northwest, USA

This dataset adds attributes describing the self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) during the observation year of wet/dry streamflow observations collected in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Streamflow observation locations are linked to the nearest National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution (NHD-HR) stream segment to obtain stream order and stream permanence (perennial/non-perennial) from NHD-HR. Additionally, the PDSI and precipitation percentile for 7.5 minute quadrangle map extents, within the extent of the conterminous United States (https://carto.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/map_indices/MapServer), during the map survey year are presented. NHD perennial/non-perennial classifications derive from the topographic maps.

Tops file for the Mowry Shale and associated strata in the Wind River Basin, Wyoming

The Wind River Basin is a structural and sedimentary basin that formed during the Laramide orogeny in latest Cretaceous and early Eocene time. The basin encompasses about 7,400 square miles in central Wyoming and is bounded by the Washakie, Owl Creek and Bighorn uplifts on the north, the Casper arch on the east, the Granite Mountains uplift on the south, and Wind River uplift on the west (fig. 1).
Many important conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources have been discovered and produced from reservoirs ranging from Mississippian through Tertiary in age (Keefer, 1969; Fox and Dolton, 1989, 1996; De Bruin, 1993; Johnson and others, 1996, 2007). It has been suggested by numerous authors (Geis, 1923; Schrayer and Zarrella, 1963, 1966, 1968; Meissner and others, 1984; Burtner and Warner, 1984; Surdam and others, 2010) that the Mowry Shale is an important source rock for many of these accumulations. With new drilling and well completion technologies the Mowry Shale is considered an important (unconventional) shale gas and shale oil objective in other Rocky Mountain basins (Sterling and others, 2009; Surdam and others, 2010). In the Wind River Basin, the Mowry Shale is composed of organic-rich mudrocks, bentonites, and siltstones (Kirschbaum and others, 2019) (fig. 2).

Tops file for the Niobrara interval of the Upper Cretaceous Cody Shale and associated strata in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming

The Bighorn Basin is a large Laramide structural and sedimentary basin that encompasses about 10,400 square miles in north-central Wyoming and south-central Montana (fig. 1). The basin is bounded on the northeast by the Pryor uplift, on the east by the Bighorn uplift and on the south by the Owl Creek uplift. The northern margin is formed by a zone of faulting and folding referred to as the Nye-Bowler lineament.  The western and northwestern margins are formed by the Absaroka volcanics and Beartooth uplift, respectively (fig. 1).
Commercial hydrocarbon production was first established in the Bighorn Basin when oil was discovered from Cretaceous reservoirs at Garland field in 1906 (Biggs and Espach, 1960).  Since then, many important conventional oil and gas resources have been discovered and produced from reservoirs ranging from Cambrian through Tertiary in age (De Bruin, 1993; Fox and Dolton, 1989,1996).  In addition, a potential basin-centered gas accumulation may be present in Cretaceous reservoirs in the deeper parts of the basin (Spencer, 1987; Ryder, 1987; Surdam and others, 1997; Johnson and Finn, 1998; Johnson and others, 1999; and Finn and others, 2010).  It has been suggested that various Upper Cretaceous marine shales are the principal hydrocarbon source rocks for many of these accumulations (Geis, 1923; Burtner and Warner, 1984; Hagen and Surdam, 1984; Meissner and others, 1984; Ryder, 1987).  With new drilling and well completion technologies, equivalent marine source rock intervals, in particular the Niobrara Formation, are now important continuous (unconventional) shale gas and shale oil objectives in other Rocky Mountain basins (Matthews, 2011; Sonnenberg, 2011; Williams and Lyle, 2011; Durham, 2012a,b, 2013; Taylor and Sonnenberg, 2014; and Hawkins, 2016).  In the Bighorn Basin the Niobrara is represented by shales, calcareous shales, marls, siltstones, and sandstones in the lower part of the Upper Cretaceous Cody Shale (Finn, 2014) (fig. 2).

U-Pb data for: Monazite and cassiterite U-Pb dating of the Abu Dabbab rare-metal granite, Egypt:  Late Cryogenian metalliferous granite magmatism in the Arabian-Nubian Shield

Cassiterite (SnO2) samples were collected from alluvial ore concentrate from the Abu Dabbab Granite in eastern Egypt.  Samples (in the form of mounted loose grains) were prepared and analyzed for direct age dating on a laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-ICPMS) system at the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver, Colorado in February 2019.  This data release accompanies the publication, 'Monazite and cassiterite U-Pb dating of the Abu Dabbab rare-metal granite, Egypt:  Late Cryogenian metalliferous granite magmatism in the Arabian-Nubian Shield.' (Lehmann and others, 2020).  The publication constrains the timing of the magmatic-hydrothermal processes of the Abu Dabbab Granite which represents the oldest, highly-evolved granite recognized thus far in the Pan-African Arabian-Nubian Shield.
