Seepage-run discharge measurements, April 30, 2019, Kuhuaawi Gulch, Moloka'i, Hawai'i

This data release contains a comma-delimited ascii file of four same-day, discrete discharge measurements made at sites along selected reaches of Kuhuaawi Gulch, Moloka'i, Hawai'i on April 30, 2019. 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, low-flow conditions, generally characterized by negligible direct runoff within the reach. The measurements can be used to characterize the net seepage of water into (water gain) or out of (water loss) the stream channel between measurement sites provided that the measurements were made during stable, nonchanging flow conditions (or, in some cases, were made simultaneously during transient flow conditions) and external surface inflows (for example, a tributary) or outflows (for example, a diversion) of water to the reach are quantified and accounted for in the computation of net seepage.

One-second USGS Barrow (BRW) magnetic observatory data collected before 2013

The USGS Geomagnetism Program operates a network of magnetic observatories that collect vector and scalar magnetometer data for use in Earth main-field modeling, geophysics research, space physics research, and space weather hazard assessment and mitigation. Until mid-2011, only 1-minute time resolution magnetic field measurements were archived with the INTERMAGNET consortium following international magnetic observatory standards. 1-second time resolution magnetic field measurements, which had already been collected by all the USGS observatories for up to almost a decade prior, started being archived with INTERMAGNET on June 13, 2011, or July 27, 2012 in the case of the more recently constructed Deadhorse (DED) magnetic observatory. This data release contains 1-second time resolution magnetic field measurements collected up through the end of 2012, after which time 1-second data from USGS magnetic observatories may be obtained from INTERMAGNET. There is some overlap between data in this release and those data archived with INTERMAGNET. Any discrepancies that may exist between these two data sources should resolve in favor of INTERMAGNET.
BRW-specific notes:
- there are significant gaps in the 2011 data, most notably in October, November, and December
- some filenames originally possessing with a ".sec" extension were renamed to ".raw"

Aggregated Oil and Natural Gas Drilling and Production History of the United States (ver. 1.1, April 2023)

This data release contains several datasets that provide an overview of oil and gas well history and production of the United States, from 1817 to September 1, 2022. Well history data is aggregated into 1-mile and 10-mile squares indicating the total number of wells and counts of wells classified as oil, gas, dry, injection, hydraulically fractured, and/or horizontal wells. Well history is also separated into layers binned on 1-year increments from a well's spud date (date drilling commenced). Production data is aggregated in 2-mile and 10-mile squares that sum the total production of oil, gas, and water volumes. Production data is also separated into layers binned on 1-year increments to reflect the year of production. These aggregations are compiled from data from IHS Markit, which is a proprietary, commercial database. No proprietary data is contained in this release. This data release was updated May 2023 to reflect an offset of 1 year on the original release.

XYZ files of lidar, single-beam and multibeam sonar data collected of Minnesota Point near the Superior Entry of Lake Superior, Duluth, MN, September 2021

This dataset consists of two files containing northing, easting, and elevation ("XYZ") information for light detection and ranging (lidar) data representing the beach and near-shore topography of Minnesota Point near the Superior Entry of Lake Superior, Duluth, Minnesota. The point data is the same as that in the LAS dataset used to create a digital elevation model (DEM) of the approximately 2.27 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar data were collected using a boat mounted Velodyne unit. Multibeam sonar data were collected using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit. Single-beam sonar data were collected using a Ceescope sonar unit. All elevation data were collected September 15-17, 2021. Methodology similar to Wagner, D.M., Lund, J.W., and Sanks, K.M., 2020 was used.

North American Bird Banding Program Dataset 1960-2022 retrieved 2022-07-14

The North American Bird Banding Program is directed in the United States by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL), Eastern Ecological Science Center at the Patuxent Research Refuge (EESC) and in Canada by the Bird Banding Office (BBO), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). The respective banding offices have similar functions and policies and use the same bands, reporting forms and data formats. Data contributors are US and Canadian bird banding permit holders: federal, state, tribal, local government, non-government agencies, business, university and avocational biologists. 
Bird banders capture wild birds and mark them with a metal leg band with a unique 9-digit number. Extra markers may be added. Attributes of a bird such as age, sex, condition, molt and morphometrics  may be taken before the bird is released. 
This long-term dataset is made up of over 76 million bird banding records with over 1,000 species, and 5 million encounter records with nearly 800 species. Federal bands are used on species included in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Banding, encounter and recapture records are available for years 1960 to present.  
The data is curated at BBL on a daily basis, therefore each yearly version may differ from previous releases. 
The BBL produces one data release annually. Each yearly release is available for request. 
Data quality is established by contributors submitting their data. Incoming data must pass automatic validation rules to meet quality standards, and in some cases additional validation is conducted by staff at BBL and BBO. 
It is imperative to understand the codes used by the BBL and BBO. In early days of storage space restrictions for electronic data, an efficient system of codes was developed. Some examples include: bird status code, coordinate precision, inexact date, minimum age at encounter. 
BBL terminology is important as well: an encounter refers to a sighting or direct encounter with a banded or auxiliary-marked bird by any person; recapture denotes a banded bird recaptured during banding operations; recovery refers a harvested gamebird.

Effects of Small Dams and Dam Removals on Stream Temperature in Massachusetts, USA

Small, surface-release dams can impair natural stream connectivity by disrupting the flow of water, sediment, nutrients, and biota. Many dams built during the 19th and 20th centuries have exceeded their functional lifespan, and as a result, dam removal has become an increasingly prevalent stream restoration method. However, many streams have not been consistently monitored before and after dam removal, and there is a paucity of information regarding how dam removals affect stream ecosystems across different dam, stream, and landscape characteristics. Therefore, this study aimed to quantify the effects of dams and dam removals on a critical water quality parameter (stream temperature) across 16 Massachusetts streams with completed (10 sites) or upcoming dam removals. We collected continuous temperature data for 1-3 years prior to removal and up to 5 years following removal in upstream, downstream, and impounded or formerly impounded reaches. Prior to dam removal, most sites experienced downstream warming, although the magnitude and spatial extent of dam impacts on temperature varied across sites. Within one year following dam removal, downstream warming was reduced or eliminated at some, but not all sites. These data suggest that the magnitude and time line of thermal recovery may vary depending on dam (e.g., dam and impoundment size), stream (e.g., upstream temperatures), and watershed characteristics (e.g., impervious/forest cover). An understanding of the factors influencing recovery of stream ecosystems following dam removal may inform our understanding of biotic responses and help set expectations for restoration.
