This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents tabular daily data on nitrate plus nitrite nitrogen and total nitrogen loads for the Connecticut River at Middle Haddam, Connecticut, from December 6, 2008, to September 30, 2014. The data release contains total nitrogen concentration estimates at 15-minute intervals from December 2011 to September 2014. The data release also includes tabular information on the total nitrogen loads from the Connecticut River at Thompsonville, Connecticut, from October 1, 2008, to September 30, 2014. Data for each streamgage and constituent include the daily loads and upper and lower 95-percent prediction intervals; the method used in the load calculation for each streamgage is also...

This dataset provides details from stream metabolism models for 11 stream sites in Connecticut that were monitored during 2015 to 2018 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Metabolism was estimated at each site using the streamMetabolizer package in the R computing environment. When data were collected for multiple years at a site, stream metabolism was separately estimated for each year. For each site-year combination, three files are provided: (1) the input data file, which includes continuous dissolved oxygen, solar time, water temperature, light, and stream depth, (2) the output data file, containing the daily metabolism estimates, and (3) a site-specific html file that serves as a guide for running the streamMetabolizer...
Coral reefs are degrading on a global scale, and rates of reef-organism calcification are predicted to decline due to ocean warming and acidification. Systematic measurements of calcification over space and time are necessary to detect change resulting from environmental stressors. We established a network of calcification monitoring stations at four managed reefs along the outerFlorida Keys Reef Tract (FKRT) from Miami to the Dry Tortugas. Eighty colonies (in two sequential sets of 40) of the reef-building coral, Siderastrea siderea, were transplanted to fixed apparatus that allowed repetitive detachment for buoyant weighing every 6 months. Algal-recruitment tiles were also deployed during each weighing interval...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
