This data release reformats data fields from the STATSGO soil characteristics dataset (Schwarz and Alexander, 1995) as cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs). The COG format allows standard software tools to efficiently access the datasets over an internet connection. Please refer to the documentation of the source archive (Schwarz and Alexander, 1995) for additional details on the underlying...

The M9.2 1964 Great Alaska earthquake is the second-largest earthquake in the historical record, the largest in North America, and involved nearly five minutes of shaking (Brocher and others, 2014). The earthquake initiated in the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone, about 12 km below northern Prince William Sound. The rupture length was about 700 km and generated deep and shallow...

Landslide susceptibility models show the potential of landslide occurrence at a location. These models are pivotal for reducing losses associated with landslides (Godt and others, 2022). In this data release, we include susceptibility results from the associated manuscript by Woodard and Mirus (2025). This manuscript shows how a morphometric model can create consistent and effective...

We present a preliminary point inventory of landslides triggered by Hurricane Helene, which impacted southern Appalachia between September 25 and 27, 2024. This inventory is a result of a rapid response mapping effort led by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Landslide Assessments, Situational Awareness, and Event Response Research (LASER) project. LASER collaborated with state surveys and...

Multiple subaerial landslides adjacent to Prince William Sound, Alaska (for example, Dai and others, 2020; Higman and others, 2023; Schaefer and others, 2024) pose a threat to the public because of their potential to generate ocean waves (Barnhart and others, 2021, 2022; Dai and others, 2020) that could affect towns and marine activities. One bedrock landslide on the west side of Barry...

This data release contains several input data and inversion output files used to model the October 19, 2020, Mw7.6 Sand Point, Alaska, earthquake and tsunami. The broadband seismic data in this data release are from globally distributed seismometers from networks G (https://doi.org/10.18715/GEOSCOPE.G), GE (https://doi.org/10.14470/TR560404), GR (https://doi.org/10.25928/mbx6-hr74), GS...

This data release contains a point cloud and raster image of a digital surface model (DSM) that covers a portion of the Lost River fault in Idaho that ruptured in the 1983 M6.9 Borah Peak earthquake. The DSM provides a high-resolution, pre-earthquake record of the landscape from 1966. It is constructed using structure-from-motion photogrammetry software and aerial photographs taken in...

This dataset contains a point cloud (Slumgullion_PointCloud.laz), 1-meter digital surface model (Slumgullion_DSM.tif), and orthoimagery (0.1-meter resolution) (Slumgullion_Ortho.tif) of the active portion of the Slumgullion landslide in Lake City, Colorado. The Slumgullion landslide is a translational slide with a continuously moving, active portion and an inactive portion. 896 photos...

Rainfall, volumetric soil-water content, video, and geophone data characterizing postfire rainfall and runoff were collected at two stations in the 2020 Calwood Fire Burn Area in Colorado. This release contains data from stations at two sites named Heil Ranch (40° 8' 43.47" N, 105° 20' 26.352" W) and Calwood (40° 9' 4.76" N, 105° 21' 20.79" W). The data presented here were collected from...

Precipitation, volumetric soil-water content, videos, and geophone data characterizing postfire debris flows were collected at the 2022 Hermit’s Peak Calf-Canyon Fire in New Mexico. This dataset contains data from June 22, 2022, to June 26, 2024. The data were obtained from a station located at 35° 42’ 28.86” N, 105° 27’ 18.03” W (geographic coordinate system). Each data type is...

Summary: This computational notebook is intended to visualize any dataset of offset measurements along a fault, including datasets for single or multiple earthquakes. It is used to plot recent, geomorphic, and synthetic offset measurements for the companion manuscript: Limited preservation of strike-slip surface displacement in the geomorphic record by N.G. Reitman, Y. Klinger, R. Briggs...

Landslides hazards pose a serious threat to people and infrastructure in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). To develop a comprehensive understanding of the landslides hazards in FSM, the USGS-USAID Landslide Disaster Assistance Team (LDAT) has put together landslide inventories for each state using satellite imagery. Mapping was done using RGB satellite imagery from Maxar, Planet...
