SSEBop Evapotranspiration from Landsat, 2000-2020 CONUS Monthly Actual ET (ETa) SSEBop Evapotranspiration from Landsat, 2000-2020 CONUS Monthly Actual ET (ETa)
USGS Evapotranspiration estimates provide useful information for a range of land use applications, from calculating a basin’s water budget to assessment of water consumption for crop yield and drought monitoring. This USGS data release is a result of using the OpenET Google Earth Engine (GEE) implementation of the USGS EROS Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEBop)...
Zircon U-Pb, Organic Carbon Isotope, and Geochemistry Data from the Hue Shale and Canning Formation, Arctic Alaska, 2025 Zircon U-Pb, Organic Carbon Isotope, and Geochemistry Data from the Hue Shale and Canning Formation, Arctic Alaska, 2025
This dataset contains results from three stratigraphic sections of the Hue Shale located in and adjacent to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska. Sample heights were measured with a tape measure in continuous successions. Zircon grains from volcanic ashes were analyzed via laser ablation at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) using a Photon Machines...
Concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from validation experiments and custom sample analysis by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) Laboratory Code 9660, December 2020 to March 2022 Concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from validation experiments and custom sample analysis by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) Laboratory Code 9660, December 2020 to March 2022
This data release contains concentration and isotope-dilution standard (IDS) recovery data from individual samples that are summarized and interpreted in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Techniques and Methods (T&M) Report "Determination of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Water by Direct Injection of Matrix-Modified Centrifuge Supernatant and Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass...
CMIP6-LOCA2 Temperature and Precipitation Variables for Resilient Roadway Design from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States CMIP6-LOCA2 Temperature and Precipitation Variables for Resilient Roadway Design from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States
Roads and bridges are vulnerable to a range of stressors, such as flooding, heat waves, and other extreme events. The probability of these stressors impacting roads and bridges cannot be exactly calculated due to various uncertainties related to the scientific understanding of future environmental conditions. Resilient design methods find ways to account for the uncertainty in various...
Nearshore bathymetry at Point Barrow, Alaska, 2022 Nearshore bathymetry at Point Barrow, Alaska, 2022
This data release contains nearshore bathymetry measurements collected at Point Barrow, Alaska in July 2022. These data were collected as part of an effort to monitor and forecast coastal flooding and erosion. They are also intended for reuse by scientists, managers, and the general public.

Data release for integrating remotely sensed surface water dynamics in hydrologic signature modeling Data release for integrating remotely sensed surface water dynamics in hydrologic signature modeling
Variability in river discharge, particularly very high flow and low flow conditions, has far-reaching environmental and economic consequences. The retention of water in surface storage, concentrated in lakes, ponds, wetlands, floodplains, and temporary water in flood prone areas, can potentially contribute to flow generation and flood regulation. However, the impact of surface water...
Determination of the concentration and activity of microcystin-LR and degradants after irradiation with 254 nm and 222 nm UV light with Protein phosphatase 2a inhibition assays and high-resolution mass spectrometry using isotope dilution Determination of the concentration and activity of microcystin-LR and degradants after irradiation with 254 nm and 222 nm UV light with Protein phosphatase 2a inhibition assays and high-resolution mass spectrometry using isotope dilution
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), a cyanotoxin produced during some harmful algal blooms (HABs), can have negative impacts on water ecosystems. Current treatment methods have potential drawbacks: physical removal can cause cell lysis and toxin release, and chemical treatment can cause disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Ultraviolet C (UV-C) treatment can degrade cyanotoxins without producing...
