Point locations for rare earth element leachate collection and precipitation tanks from ion-adsorption clay deposits in Burma (Myanmar) and China identified from satellite imagery between 2010 and 2025 Point locations for rare earth element leachate collection and precipitation tanks from ion-adsorption clay deposits in Burma (Myanmar) and China identified from satellite imagery between 2010 and 2025
Rare earth elements are critical mineral commodities typically extracted together as a group of 15 elements (lanthanides plus yttrium) from either 1) hard rock ores or 2) ion-adsorption clay deposits. The locations of hard rock mines targeting carbonatite and peralkaline magmatic rare earth deposits are well constrained and typically mined using conventional open-pit or underground...

This data release includes a digitized version of the "Statistics by States, lands, products and years" section of the 1981 edition of the Federal and Indian lands coal, phosphate, potash, sodium, and other mineral production, royalty income, and related statistics publication. These data were published by the Conservation Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, which was tasked with the
Future U.S. Federal lease coal production and greenhouse gas emissions: Estimates 2024-51 - Data Future U.S. Federal lease coal production and greenhouse gas emissions: Estimates 2024-51 - Data
The dataset includes 2024-2051 estimates of projected United States Federal mineral rights lands coal production and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from mining, transporting, and combusting that fuel. The data cover six states and 30 coal mines. It is divided into four tables, one of coal production and three of GHG emissions. The coal production is presented with three...
Prospectivity and Extractability Modeling of Ni-Co Laterite in the Josephine Peridotite, California and Oregon, USA, from Historical and Modern Sources Prospectivity and Extractability Modeling of Ni-Co Laterite in the Josephine Peridotite, California and Oregon, USA, from Historical and Modern Sources
This dataset consists of a 200m raster suitability model for the extraction of nickel laterite in the northern California/southern Oregon, USA region. The primary model is composited from three equally weighted submodels: the relative probability of nickel laterite to be present within the study area (prospectivity); environmental and legal considerations associated with traditional...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in produced water from the Denver Basin Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in produced water from the Denver Basin
Per- and polyfluoroaklyl substances (PFAS) of are of interest due to their persistence and ubiquity in the environment and their potential health and environmental effects. While these compounds have been well studied in the past 10 years, little is known about PFAS in oil and gas produced waters, which are voluminous and have the potential to impact the environment through surficial...
A Method for High Performance Liquid Chromatography Analysis of Volatile Fatty Acids in Water A Method for High Performance Liquid Chromatography Analysis of Volatile Fatty Acids in Water
A method was developed to measure the presence and concentration of the organic volatile fatty acids (VFA) formate, malate, lactate, acetate, and propionate in aqueous samples using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultraviolet absorbance detection. This dataset includes a method detection limit (MDL) study, along with appropriate quality control samples, used to verify...
Land Application of Drilling Fluids in Oklahoma, Derived from Oklahoma Corporation Commission 1014 Permits, 1998-2020 Land Application of Drilling Fluids in Oklahoma, Derived from Oklahoma Corporation Commission 1014 Permits, 1998-2020
The land application of drill fluids is governed by rules established in the Oklahoma Administrative Rules (165:10-7) and permitted by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). While data on the volume and location of land application is publicly accessible through the OCC's website, much of the information is in scanned form documents which limits the operability of these data. This...

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units, assessment input data, and resulting fact sheet data tables for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in the Escondido, Olmos, and San Miguel Formations of the Western Gulf Basin Province, U.S. Gulf Coast Region. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment...
Laser-ablation inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometry and electron probe microanalyses of pyrite and pyrrhotite in tailings and ores from volcanogenic massive sulfide and sedimentary-exhalative deposits Laser-ablation inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometry and electron probe microanalyses of pyrite and pyrrhotite in tailings and ores from volcanogenic massive sulfide and sedimentary-exhalative deposits
Mine waste, including mill tailings, could host substantial critical mineral resources. Developing an understanding of the mineral hosts and occurrence of critical minerals in mine waste is essential to evaluating their resource potential. Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) and sedimentary-exhalative (SEDEX) deposits are important global sources of copper, zinc, lead, gold, and silver...
Visible and Near Infrared (VNIR) and Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) Spectra of Select Altered Mafic and Ultramafic Rock Samples from the Josephine Peridotite in CA and OR, the Yukon-Tanana region in Alaska, and from the Southern Appalachians in VA, NC, Visible and Near Infrared (VNIR) and Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) Spectra of Select Altered Mafic and Ultramafic Rock Samples from the Josephine Peridotite in CA and OR, the Yukon-Tanana region in Alaska, and from the Southern Appalachians in VA, NC,
These data are laboratory reflectance measurements conducted on a suite of altered mafic and ultramafic rocks. Visible-Near InfraRed (VNIR) and Short-Wave InfraRed (SWIR) reflectance measurements were made (~0.4 – 2.5 microns) using an artificial light source connected to an Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) spectrometer. Spectra from a total of 91 samples were measured and analyzed...
Water and sediment geochemistry in the Gallinas Creek Watershed, New Mexico following the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon fire 2022-2023 Water and sediment geochemistry in the Gallinas Creek Watershed, New Mexico following the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon fire 2022-2023
This data set was collected throughout the Gallinas watershed in New, Mexico following the Hermit's Peak-Calf Canyon fires on April 6, 2022. The watershed has a history of mining and prospecting, which acts as an additional stressor to post-wildfire water quality and ecosystem health. Water samples were collected immediately post-fire. Water, sediment deposit and bed sediment samples...
