Data

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...

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...

Included in this data release are eight files: one metadata file, 6 comma separated value (.csv) datafiles and one data dictionary file defining the entities and attributes that constitute this dataset. The 6 datafiles support the publication, Deep syntectonic burial of the Anthracite belt, Eastern Pennsylvania, by providing in csv format the data from Figure 11 – Representative Raman...

The southern margin of the Archean Superior Province in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan records Paleoproterozoic tectonic events involved in the ~2.1 Ga rifting of the proposed Archean supercraton Superia and the subsequent assembly of Laurentia. Within a small area of Dickinson County, Michigan, there are many distinctive geologic units with confounding structural and...

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 Norphlet Formation 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 Project for the...

This data release includes field parameters (pH and specific conductance), major ion geochemistry (B, Ba, Br, Cl, Ca, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Si, SO4, Sr), total dissolved solids, specific gravity, water isotopes (delta-2H and delta-18O), and radium isotopes (226Ra and 228Ra) from produced water samples taken from petroleum wells producing from the Niobrara Formation in the Denver...

Wells drilled during oil and gas exploration use drilling fluids to cool and lubricate the drilling bit and clear the borehole of cuttings. These fluids are recycled during the drilling process, but eventually can no longer be used. This is an important waste stream from petroleum generation that requires disposal. Chemical characterization of these materials is important to determine if...

U-Pb isotopic data from zircon grains from the sediment bedload of seven modern rivers: the Susquehanna, Potomac, Roanoke, James, Peedee, Tar, and Cape Fear, as well as from three samples taken from beaches in Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds (North Carolina), two Pleistocene core samples, and three samples on the ocean-facing foreshore of the Outer Banks barrier islands (North Carolina and...

Critical minerals are essential for the energy transition; to meet sustainability goals, production of these resources must significantly increase within the coming decades. For example, demand for lithium, an element essential for battery technologies found in many electronics and vehicles, is anticipated to increase by more than ten-fold by 2050 compared to current production. Critical...

Tungsten is a mineral commodity critical for national security and the economy. Vein and greisen deposits host wolframite, a tungsten ore mineral that accounts for a significant portion of global mine production and resources. This data release contains updated resource information for globally distributed deposits that underpin grade and tonnage modeling efforts.

Geoheritage is a term which lies at the intersection of science, society, and sustainability and is applied to significant geologic features and landforms that have scientific, educational, cultural, economic, and aesthetic value. Many geologic sites have enriched society through the geoheritage values: scientific research and education, cultural significance, economic opportunities, and...
