Geochemical Data for Produced Water and Gas from the Antrim Shale in Michigan, 2023 Geochemical Data for Produced Water and Gas from the Antrim Shale in Michigan, 2023
In 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Riverside Energy Michigan, LLC, conducted an injection experiment to monitor the natural rate of biogenic methane generation in the Mortensen A4-24 well which was completed in the Antrim Shale and located in Antrim County, Michigan, United States of America. Approximately 20 barrels (bbl) of produced water was pumped from the well...
Total organic carbon, programmed temperature pyrolysis, vitrinite reflectance, organic carbon isotopes, elemental, and spectral gamma-ray data from the Cretaceous Hue Shale (Jago River outcrop), Arctic Alaska, USA Total organic carbon, programmed temperature pyrolysis, vitrinite reflectance, organic carbon isotopes, elemental, and spectral gamma-ray data from the Cretaceous Hue Shale (Jago River outcrop), Arctic Alaska, USA
Chemostratigraphic signatures were recorded in a 113 m thick outcrop of late Albian to early Campanian (~103–82 Ma) Hue Shale exposed on the bank of the Jago River in the coastal plain (“1002 Area”) of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), Alaska. Spectral gamma-ray (SGR) data was collected in situ across the Jago River section. A total of 250 samples consisting of predominantly...
Inorganic and organic chemical composition of groundwater collected from monitoring wells located at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site, Bemidji, Minnesota, USA 2009-2023 Inorganic and organic chemical composition of groundwater collected from monitoring wells located at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site, Bemidji, Minnesota, USA 2009-2023
This dataset contains information from groundwater monitoring wells at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site near Bemidji, Minnesota, USA. The information includes field and laboratory methods, site locations, and inorganic and organic chemistry data. Samples were collected between 2009 and 2023, and analyzed for inorganic anions: F (fluoride), Cl...
Geospatial database for the spectral characteristics and mapping of lithium-rich playas in the Western U.S. Basin and Range (ver. 2.0, March 2025) Geospatial database for the spectral characteristics and mapping of lithium-rich playas in the Western U.S. Basin and Range (ver. 2.0, March 2025)
The data included here were used to evaluate the prospectivity for lithium in brines of playas of the western part of the Basin and Range Physiographic Province of the United States. Prospectivity is derived from the mappable criteria used in the descriptive deposit model published by Bradley and others (2013) and focused mainly from the remote sensing point of view. The playas in the...

Properties of solid bitumen formed during hydrous, anhydrous, and brine pyrolysis of oil shale Properties of solid bitumen formed during hydrous, anhydrous, and brine pyrolysis of oil shale
Solid bitumen is widely used as a thermal proxy in source-rock reservoirs, yet its texture and presentation may be affected by varying environmental constraints during its formation, e.g., water concentration, mineral catalysis, or salinity. Herein we investigated the development of solid bitumen properties during artificial maturation using three diverse (lacustrine to marine) oil shale...
Geochemistry of mafic and ultramafic rocks in the Eastern Blue Ridge of Virginia and North Carolina (ver. 2.0, September 2025) Geochemistry of mafic and ultramafic rocks in the Eastern Blue Ridge of Virginia and North Carolina (ver. 2.0, September 2025)
This data release includes whole rock (WR) geochemical data for 92 samples. Whole rock geochemistry data were analyzed at Actlabs in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada. Rock samples were collected from 2020 to 2024 by Naomi Becker, Arthur Merschat, Mark Carter, and Kadie Steup. The whole rock geochemistry data characterize the composition of mafic and ultramafic (MUM) rocks in the Eastern Blue...
X-ray diffraction data and estimates of mineral abundances based on Rietveld refinement for mine wastes collected through the USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (ver. 2.0, April 2025) X-ray diffraction data and estimates of mineral abundances based on Rietveld refinement for mine wastes collected through the USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (ver. 2.0, April 2025)
Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and estimates of mineral abundances determined using Rietveld refinement included in this data release were generated as part of the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI; https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/earth-mri). Earth MRI is a partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and state geological surveys and was developed by the...
Simulations of hypothetical CO2 leakage and hydrological plume management in an underground source of drinking water at a proposed CO2 storage facility, Kemper County, Mississippi, USA Simulations of hypothetical CO2 leakage and hydrological plume management in an underground source of drinking water at a proposed CO2 storage facility, Kemper County, Mississippi, USA
This data release serves as a model archive associated with an upcoming journal article. It contains all the input and output files from, as well as explanatory information about, numerical simulations that were conducted as part of a study of a site in Kemper County, Mississippi where deep geologic injection of CO2 has been proposed. The simulations represent groundwater flow within a...

This dataset includes eighteen years of emissions and sequestration estimates (2005-2022) in two separate tables. Table 1 includes the greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion and extraction of fossil fuels on Federal mineral lands. Table 2 is the emissions and sequestration from ecosystem processes on Federal surface lands. The fossil fuel related estimates include the greenhouse...
Grade and tonnage data for lithium, cesium, and rubidium pegmatite deposits Grade and tonnage data for lithium, cesium, and rubidium pegmatite deposits
Pegmatites are a major host of global lithium, cesium, and rubidium resources. However, the existing grade and tonnage dataset for lithium pegmatites that was published in 1992 does not represent the current industry parameters used to delineate resources. There are no existing grade and tonnage datasets for cesium and rubidium. We present grade and tonnage data for lithium, cesium, and...
