HANZE database of historical flood impacts in Europe, 1870-2025
<p>The HANZE dataset covers riverine, pluvial, coastal and compound floods that have occurred in 42 European countries between 1870 and 31 March 2025. The data was collected by extensive data-collection from more than 1000 sources ranging from news reports through government databases to scientific papers. The dataset includes 2687 events characterized by at least one impact statistic: area inundated, fatalities, persons affected or economic loss. Economic losses are presented both in the original currencies and price levels as well as inflation and exchange-rate adjusted to 2024 value of the euro. The spatial footprint of affected areas is consistently recorded using more than 1400 subnational units corresponding, with minor exceptions, to the European Union’s Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS), level 3. Daily start and end dates, information on causes of the event, notes on data quality issues or associated non-flood impacts, and full bibliography of each record supplement the dataset. Apart from the possibility to download the data, the database can be viewed, filtered and visualized online: <a href="https://naturalhazards.eu">https://naturalhazards.eu</a>. The dataset is designed to be complimentary to HANZE-Exposure, a high-resolution model of historical exposure changes (such as population and asset value), and be easily usable in statistical and spatial analyses.</p> <p><strong>This is a preliminary update of HANZE v2.1, adding 169 floods for years 2021-2025 (until 31 March 2025). It makes only minor revisions to previous data (adds 11 pre-2021 events, revises 17 records and removes 3 events that were newly reassessed as non-flood events).

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic On Cities. A Scoping Review Protocol
<p>The aim of the scoping review is to map out evidence based research on the Covid-19 pandemic impact on the European cities. The review questions touch three broad areas of interest:</p> <ol> <li>the aspects of urban life described and analysed in publications on the impact of the pandemic on cities</li> <li>the aspects of urban life that are described in terms of crisis, breakdown, turnaround, etc. (crisis, disruption, slump, shift…) in such studies</li> <li>theoretical and methodological approaches applied in such studies</li> </ol> <p>The search was conducted in June 2022, with the final body of literature consisting of 3,994 publication references from EBSCOhost, APA Psyc, Scopus, Web of Science, Proquest, Wiley, Sage, JSTOR, Tailor&Francis, Oxford Journals databases (Fig. 1). The following English words were searched for in titles, abstracts and keywords in the databases: (pandemic OR ‘Covid-19’) AND (city OR cities OR urban*). We used the following criteria for articles to be included in the study: 1) peer and non-peer-reviewed empirical papers in journals published in English from January 2019 to June 2022; 2) included studies where the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on European city/cities was an explicit variable of interest; 3) contained analysis of empirical data on cities or urban life retrieved or collected within and explicitly addressing the COVID-19 pandemic; 4) addressed the social, cultural, economic, political and socio-geographical aspects of a city. We excluded from our sample papers that were: 1) theoretical and opinion literature, media press releases, reports, MA dissertations and PhD theses; 2) secondary research papers (reviews, meta-analyses); 3) papers not in English; 4) studies about non-European cities; 5) studies which do not explicitly address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cities; 6) studies addressing a city as a variable of secondary importance; 7) studies outside the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, published before December 2019; 8) studies not addressing the social or human aspects of urban life.</p> <p>The final database of coded documents consisted of 138 empirical articles presenting findings on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on European cities. </p>

Multiple-benefit Conservation in Practice: Metrics Data for Quantifying Multidimensional Impacts of Landscape Change in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta
<p><strong>SUMMARY</strong><br> These data represent estimated mean value, standard error, and units for a range of metrics by land cover class in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Metrics are grouped into three major categories: Agricultural Livelihoods (including metrics for gross production value, number of agricultural jobs, and annual wages per employee), Water Quality (in terms of the application rates for pesticides identified as critical pesticides, groundwater contaminants, and those posing a high or moderate risk to aquatic organisms), and Climate Change Resilience (qualitative scores representing relative tolerance for heat, drought, and flood).</p> <p><strong>DESCRIPTION</strong><br> These data were developed to facilitate projecting the net impacts of land cover change scenarios on multiple metrics of interest to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, including potential benefits and trade-offs. They were used in initial analyses of scenarios representing habitat restoration and perennial crop expansion, and they are required for using the R package "DeltaMultipleBenefits", which provides the code and work flow for repeating the initial analyses or analyzing new scenarios.</p> <p>For additional details about the development and applications of these data, please see: </p> <ul> <li>Dybala KE, et al.

Datasets and codes for the peer review article "Human and natural impacts on the U.S. freshwater salinization and alkalinization: A machine learning approach"
<p>Ongoing salinization and alkalinization in U.S. rivers have been attributed to inputs of road salt and effects of human-accelerated weathering in previous studies. Salinization poses a severe threat to human and ecosystem health, while human derived alkalinization implies increasing uncertainty in the dynamics of terrestrial sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. A mechanistic understanding of whether and how human activities accelerate weathering and contribute to the geochemical changes in U.S. rivers is lacking. To address this uncertainty, we compiled dissolved sodium (salinity proxy) and alkalinity values along with 32 watershed properties ranging from hydrology, climate, geomorphology, geology, soil chemistry, land use, and land cover for 226 river monitoring sites across the coterminous U.S. Using these data, we built two machine-learning models to predict monthly-aggregated sodium and alkalinity fluxes at these sites. The sodium-prediction model detected human activities (represented by population density and impervious surface area) as major contributors to the salinity of U.S. rivers. In contrast, the alkalinity-prediction model identified natural processes as predominantly contributing to variation in riverine alkalinity flux, including runoff, carbonate sediment or siliciclastic sediment, soil pH and soil moisture. Unlike prior studies, our analysis suggests that the alkalinization in U.S. rivers is largely governed by local climatic and hydrogeological conditions.</p>

Visualizing the Impact of COVID-19 and the Vaccination Data in 2021
<p>COVID-19 has been a hot topic in recent years. While numerous visualizations have showcased the distribution of COVID-19 cases and deaths, few demonstrate the temporal relationships between cases, deaths, and COVID-19 vaccinations. Our visualization aims to fill this gap by showcasing the temporal evolution of COVID-19 cases, deaths, and vaccinations in the U.S. while also comparing them geographically by U.S. states.</p> <p>Our dataset was obtained from two different organizations: the New York Times and Our World in Data. The New York Times dataset focuses on COVID-19 cases and deaths within each county/state of the US in 2021, while the dataset from Our World in Data contains information on the various vaccination data of each state throughout the year. We chose to focus on 2021 since that is when the first data was collected for the us_state_vaccinations.csv, in addition to the reason that the majority of vaccination data from 2022 are not as consistent and missing a lot.</p> <p>Our visualizations are targeted towards individuals who want to learn more about the timeline of COVID-19 cases, deaths, and vaccinations data and the complex relationships among them. This includes public health officials who need to make informed decisions regarding interventions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, journalists and media organizations who want to report accurate information about the pandemic to the public, and the general public who are interested in understanding the impact of COVID-19 on their local communities.</p> <p>We implemented our visualizations using Python's Altair and Streamlit libraries, using drop-down selection bars, time/date sliders, multi-select widgets, and various types of linked views. These interactive features are implemented using built-in functions from the Streamlit and Altair libraries, including st.selectbox, st.multiselect, st.slider, alt.selection_interval, and alt.selection_single. The details of the code that we wrote to implement these visualizations can be found on our project's GitHub page (https://github.com/Tony-Xiayi-Ding/COVID-19-Visualizations).</p> <p>Our visualizations showed that the temporal evolution of COVID-19 cases and deaths exhibited a striking similarity, with a rather consistent trend over time. Additionally, the cases and deaths count generally remained at much slower increasing rates during seasons with higher temperatures and at much higher increasing rates during colder months, highlighting the complex interplay of demographic and seasonal factors in shaping the pandemic in the U.S. Moreover, the overall trend for case fatality rate was decreasing for most states, and states that were close to each other shared similar trends of case fatality rate. Furthermore, states with higher average temperatures shared similar trends in case fatality rates that were quite different from those states that were relatively colder. Lastly, as total vaccinations per hundred increased over time, the relative case fatality rate dropped, and coastal states were found to have slightly higher total vaccinations per hundred values, potentially due to their higher population densities and that the residents in those states are more aware of the importance of getting vaccinated due to their elevated chances of contracting COVID-19.</p> <p>The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health.</p> <p>References:</p> <p>1.

Cumulated dam impact in France and the Iberian Peninsula (SUDOANG project)
<h2><strong>1. SUDOANG PROJECT</strong></h2><p>The SUDOANG project has provided common tools and assessment methods to managers to support the eel conservation in the SUDOE zone (Southern France, Spain and Portugal). One of the goals of the project was to develop an eel abundance and distribution <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7546419">atlas</a> in the three countries, based on the results of the implementation of Eel Density Analysis (<a href="https://sudoang.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/E411_Briand_et_al_2022_EDA_report_opt-1.pdf">EDA</a>). This model extrapolates eel abundance from a range of river segments sampled by electrofishing, to the whole river and lake network, by considering how eel abundance, size and sex vary according to different parameters related to eel habitat. To do this, we have created a dataset of "cumulated dam impact" which compiles different ways of calculating cumulated height from the sea.</p><h2><strong>2. SUDOANG DATABASE</strong></h2><p>The dataset on cumulated impact was first derived from information on obstacles collected by the SUDOANG project. Obstacles data for the three countries were imported in the SUDOANG database (<a href="https://sudoang.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/E221_data_collection_storage-1.html#3_data_import_on_physical_obstacles_in_spain_and_portugal">deliverable 2.2.1</a>), whose structure is inherited from the DataBase for EEl (DBEEL), developed during a European research project (POSE - Pilot projects to estimate potential and actual escapement of silver eel, Walker et al., 2011). This database is designed to contain all data relative to eel biology and anthropogenic pressures applying to eel. During the course of SUDOANG, this database was used and ameliorated. </p><p>In France the obstacles were compiled from three pre-existing different databases:</p><ul><li>the Referential of flow obstacles (<a href="https://professionnels.ofb.fr/fr/node/367">ROE</a>) ,</li><li>the Information of Ecological Continuity (<a href="https://professionnels.ofb.fr/en/node/731">ICE</a>) and</li><li>the Flow Obstruction Database (Base de Données des Obstacles à l'Ecoulement, (BDOE).</li></ul><p>The data we have integrated into the SUDOANG 1.0.4. database came from a database dump of the 12th September 2019.

DATA DESCRIPTION</strong></h2><h3><strong>3.1. Data collected on artificial obstacles</strong></h3><p>Artificial obstacles were classified into 10 types according to the Adaptive Management of Barriers in European Rivers (<a href="https://amber.international">AMBER</a>) project. Some additional types (e.g., penstock pipes) were added to identify other obstacles in national databases that did not fit the AMBER classification (see the list below). Sometimes dams from different branches are connected, creating a dam-network. In those cases, we have only kept the dam(s) in the main course and use a hierarchical classification of the dams to only consider the cumulated height from the sea to the reference dam. We included only obstacles that are presently standing, <i>i.e.,</i> not planned, under construction, or destroyed. Dikes, longitudinal control structures and grates were excluded.</p><p><i>Obstacle classification according to the data collected and the AMBER project:</i></p><ul><li>BR - Bridge: A structure that is built over a river to allow people or vehicles to cross</li><li>CU - Culvert: A tunnel or pipe carrying a stream or open drain under a road or railway</li><li>DI - Dike: An embankment used to hold back water</li><li>DA - Dam: Structure that blocks the river and extends across the river bed to the flood plain</li><li>FO - Ford: A shallow crossing-place in a river</li><li>PP - Penstock: pipe Group of pipes that transport pressurised water from a reservoir (dam) to the turbines installed in a hydro-electric power plant</li><li>RR - Rock ramp: A weir made of rocks</li><li>WE - Weir: Structure across a river that does not extend to the flood plain</li><li>OT - Other: Structure that is not covered by previous definitions</li><li>UN - Unknown: Unknown</li></ul><p>We have projected obstacles on the SUDOANG river network at the nearest point within 300 m. To avoid projecting large obstacles in the wrong location in the southwestern France, SUDOANG experts have reviewed and corrected this information. We have also used an algorithm that extracts the best obstacle height data from the three existing databases in France. In the Iberian Peninsula, data providers validated and corrected obstacle location and height using a Shiny application developed by the project, in which they could directly correct the height of obstacles.</p><p>The variables in the <strong>obstacles </strong>table (csv delimiter ",") are:</p><ul><li><i>op_id</i>: Identifier of the observation place name</li><li><i>op_gis_layername</i>: Original data source</li><li><i>op_placename</i>: Name of the dam</li><li><i>op_op_id</i>: If the dam is linked within a complex (e.g. when there are multiple channels for the same river) the name of the parent dam</li><li><i>id_original</i>: Original id of the dam (in the raw table)</li><li><i>country</i>: Country code ('SP', 'ES' or 'FR')</li><li><i>dp_name</i>: Name of the data provider</li><li><i>obstruction_type_code</i>: Type of obstruction (see table obstruction type code)</li><li><i>obstruction_type_name</i>: Name of the dam</li><li><i>po_obstruction_height</i>: Difference of level of water between the downstream and the upstream part of the dam</li><li><i>po_presence_eel_pass</i>: Presence of a pass suitable for eel (see paper)</li><li><i>po_date_presence_eel_pass</i>: Date of construction of the eel (or eel compatible) pass</li><li><i>fishway_type_code</i>: Code of the fishway type</li><li><i>fishway_type_name</i>: Name of the fishway type</li><li><i>googlemapscoods</i>: Link to google map</li><li><i>x_espg_4326</i>: Longitude (with ESPG 4326)</li><li><i>y_espg_4326</i>: Latitude (with ESPG 4326)</li></ul><h3><strong>3.2. Modeling missing data and estimating the cumulative impact on obstacles</strong></h3><p>For those obstacles missing height information, we have calculated height using a Generalized Linear Models (GLM of log transformed height, <i>family = gaussian, link = identity</i>. In France the <a href="https://forgemia.inra.fr/pole-migrateurs/eda/dbeel/-/blob/main/eda2.3/report/Dams.Rmd">model</a> was based on river segment slope, river segment median flow and hydrographic basin. In the Iberian Peninsula, we have implemented a simpler <a href="https://forgemia.inra.fr/pole-migrateurs/eda/dbeel/-/blob/main/eda2.3/report/E221_data_collection_storage_sp_pt.Rmd">model</a> based on obstacle type, as information about flow or slope was not available for all river segments.</p><p>The cumulated impact of obstacles was assessed by creating a table joining each river segment with all the dams located in the downstream course. Using this, various metrics were computed using different assumptions concerning the effect of obstacles. The heights were power transformed to test for a different effect of obstacle's height (the cumulated effect of two obstacles of 1 m might be different than the cumulated effect of a single obstacle of 2 m), and functions were developed to calculate cumulated obstacle transformed variables. Other variables were also tested. In fact, tests in France have shown that factors such as presence of a fish pass, and eel passability did not improve the <a href="https://forgemia.inra.fr/pole-migrateurs/eda/eda_model/-/blob/main/S4/BaseEdaRiosRiversegmentsDam.R\#L624">model performance</a>. For this reason, but also because in the Iberian Peninsula this type of information was too limited, we used dam height to model the cumulative height of obstacles at a given river segment. </p><p>The

Patch-burn grazing impacts forage resources in subtropical humid grazinglands
Subtropical humid grazing lands represent a large global land use and are important for livestock production, as well as supplying multiple ecosystem services. Patch-burn grazing (PBG) management is applied in temperate grazing lands to enhance environmental and economic sustainability; however, this management system has not been widely tested in subtropical humid grazing lands. The objective of this study was to determine how PBG affected forage resources, in comparison with the business-as usual full-burn (FB) management in both intensively managed pastures (IMP) and seminative (SN) pastures in subtropical humid grazing lands. We hypothesized that PBG management would create patch contrasts in forage quantity and nutritive value in both IMP and SN pastures, with a greater effect in SN pastures. A randomized block design experiment was established in 2017 with 16 pastures (16 ha each), 8 each in IMP and SN at Archbold Biological Station’s Buck Island Ranch in Florida. PBG management employed on IMP and SN resulted in creation of patch contrast in forage nutritive value and biomass metrics, and recent fire increased forage nutritive value. Residual standing biomass was significantly lower in burned patches of each year, creating heterogeneity within both pasture types under PBG. PBG increased digestible forage production in SN but not IMP pastures. These results suggest that PBG may be a useful management tool for enhancing forage nutritive value and creating patch contrast in both SN and IMP, but PBG does not necessarily increase production relative to FB management. The annual increase in tissue quality and digestible forage production in a PBG system as opposed to once every 3 yr in an FB system is an important consideration for ranchers. Economic impacts of PBG and FB management in the two different pasture types are discussed, and we compare and contrast results from subtropical humid grazing lands with continental temperate grazing lands.
Data from “A Mixed Method Approach to Understanding the Public Health Impact of a School-Based Citizen Science Program to Reduce Arsenic in Private Well Water”
Objectives We have approached the problem of low well water testing rates in Maine and New Hampshire communities by developing the All About Arsenic (AAA) project, which engages secondary school teachers and students as citizen scientists in collecting well water samples for analysis of arsenic and other toxic metals and supports their outreach efforts to their communities. Methods We assessed this project’s public health impact by analyzing student data relative to existing well water quality datasets in both states. In addition, we surveyed private well owners who contributed well water samples to the project to determine the actions taken to mitigate arsenic in well water. Data The data presented here are used in the analyses performed for the publication: "A Mixed Method Approach to Understanding the Public Health Impact of a School-Based Citizen Science Program to Reduce Arsenic in Private Well Water.” Additional data may be available at: The Anecdata Project Page: https://anecdata.org/projects/view/299 The project website: https://www.allaboutarsenic.org/
Laboratory experiments testing pH, alkalinity and particle impacts on Mn removal
Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate impacts of pH, alkalinity, and presence of particles on Mn removal in freshwater. The dataset includes monitoring data from: 1) a 14-day experiment in Mn(II) solutions in nanopure water, 2) a 24-hour experiment in Mn(II) solutions in nanopure water, and 3) a 10-day experiment in water from two drinking water reservoirs. The 14-day pH and alkalinity laboratory experiment was conducted starting October 30, 2022 and included sample collection and pH monitoring on day 0, 1, 4, 7, 10, and 14. The 24-hour pH and alkalinity laboratory experiment was conducted starting February 20, 2023 and included sample collection and pH monitoring at 0, 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours. The reservoir water laboratory experiment was conducted starting March 22, 2023 and included sample collection and pH monitoring on day 0, 1, 4, 7, and 10. This experiment tested Mn removal in water collected from the lower water column of Falling Creek Reservoir (FCR) and Carvins Cove Reservoir (CCR), located in Vinton, Virginia, USA and Roanoke, Virginia, USA respectively. Both reservoirs are owned and operated by the Western Virginia Water Authority and are managed as drinking-water sources for the city of Roanoke, VA, USA.
CVPIA Predation Contact Point Study - 2020: Impacts of Artificial Light At Night in the Upper Sacramento River
The Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) has led to the implementation of a Decision Support Model (DSM) to assist in the prioritization of CVPIA restoration actions. The fall-run Chinook salmon DSM depends on a coarse-resolution salmon life-cycle model to predict the population benefits of different restoration actions and scenarios. One critical element of the life-cycle model is how to incorporate predation mortality during the juvenile rearing and outmigration portion of the salmon life-cycle in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Of particular importance to potential restoration activities, is the predation mortality that occurs in proximity to, and as a result of contact points between predator and prey fishes. Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) are a genetically distinct Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) with a unique life history and are listed as endangered at both state and federal levels. Predation of juvenile winter-run by piscivorous fishes is considered to be an important stressor that may reduce the population size of this ESU. Notably, the presence of artificial illumination at night (ALAN) has been shown to aggregate and slow out-migrating salmonids and increase predation by piscivores, and may be an important contact point affecting winter-run Chinook salmon, especially given the vast majority of winter-run Chinook salmon are born and rear within the city limits of Redding, CA. Perhaps the most significant source of ALAN in this region of the Sacramento River is the iconic Sundial Bridge. This bridge is illuminated at night and regional biologists have long been concerned on its potential impacts on winter-run Chinook salmon, as mediated through predation by Rainbow Trout. We therefore performed a field-based experiment to better inform this management concern. To assess the impacts of Sundial Bridge ALAN on fishes, our first objective was to determine whether variable ALAN intensities altered the relati
Seedling emergence and biomass data of nine dryland plant species characterizing the impact of soil residual auxin herbicide across two soil types and water pulse events on greenhouse growth; Las Cruces, New Mexico, Spring 2021.
Synthetic-auxin herbicides are often used to control woody plants and aid in grassland restoration. Seed-based restoration is common alongside herbicide applications and there may be unintended effects of these herbicides on dryland plant species at the seed and seedling stages. Additionally, abiotic conditions at the time of herbicide application may influence herbicide-soil-plant interactions. We conducted a greenhouse study to examine the effects of a common shrub-control herbicide mix and its interaction with soil type and a post-herbicide water pulse on common desert plant seeds and seedlings. In this greenhouse study, we found that a subset of species responded negatively to soil residual herbicide activity of a mixture of aminopyralid, clopyralid, and triclopyr at the seed and seedling stages. Species sensitive to soil herbicide residues were primarily shrub and forb species that are often the target species of herbicide applications for woody plant control, such as Prosopis glandulosa (honey mesquite) and Larrea tridentata (creosote bush). However, two shrub species (Atriplex canescens [four-wing saltbush] and Yucca elata [soaptree yucca]) and one perennial grass species (Digitaria californica [Arizona cottontop]), which are used in dryland restoration projects, were found to be particularly sensitive to soil residual herbicide activity. Thus, if using these herbicides to control woody plants and restore herbaceous vegetation via active seeding or relying on the in situ seed bank, considerations should be given to what species are used in the seed mix, what species are already present in the soil seed bank, and other details of the circumstances of herbicide application.
Comparing the impacts of patch-burn grazing on vegetation in two northern tallgrass prairies
The management practice of patch-burn grazing varies grazing pressure across a site by rotating burn locations, thereby creating spatial heterogeneity in vegetation height and density (structure). Patch-burn grazing increases the range of habitats available for different wildlife species, but it may also unintentionally affect plant invasion and plant biodiversity. We evaluated the effects of patch-burn grazing on plant communities in two northern tallgrass prairies. Both dry-mesic prairie sites were in Minnesota, USA, on similar soils and undergoing invasion by the non-native, cool-season grass smooth brome (Bromus inermis). The sites had different cattle stocking rates and burning practices (3 or 5 burn units). We established 15-20 pairs of plots per site with a fence around one member of each pair. We measured vegetation structure, native and non-native plant richness, smooth brome frequency, and frequency-weighted mean coefficients of conservatism (mean C) over 5-6 years across two treatments: patch-burn grazing and burning-without-grazing. At the site with a lower stocking rate and more burn units, grazing promoted spatial heterogeneity by reducing vegetation structure 18-65 percentage points in some units and some years. In both treatments, native richness increased 15% over 6 years, but smooth brome frequency increased over 200%, suggesting that adjustments in management are needed to suppress smooth brome. At the site with a higher stocking rate and fewer burn units, grazing reduced vegetation structure 37-78 percentage points in all units and all years, but native richness was maintained over time. Grazing also increased non-native richness 38 percentage points and reduced mean C by 6 percentage points over 2 years. Smooth brome frequency increased 2% over 2 years in both treatments. Patch-burn grazing at this site may have increased richness of annual or biennial non-native plant species. At both sites, long-lived perennials may drive the resilience of nat
Interagency Ecological Program: Data for Synthesis for Ecological Impacts of Drought in the Upper San Francisco Estuary, 1975-2021
These data were collected for the special issue on Drought in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta published in San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 1, March of 2024. Multi-year droughts are important and impactful features of California’s Mediterranean climate and can fundamentally affect the water quality and the ecosystem response of the San Francisco Estuary and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This data set was assembled from data collected by long-term monitoring programs over the past 46 years (1975-2021) to evaluate how the estuary changed during multi-year droughts. Data include fish, zooplankton, jellyfish, clams, temperature, Secchi depth, and salinity as measured by fish and water quality surveys, as well as nutrients and chlorophyll measured by water quality surveys. These data are accompanied by hydrologic metrics including Delta Inflow, Delta Outflow, the position of the 2-PSU isohaline, residence time, and daily values of various continuous water quality stations located in the Delta.
