This dataset contains mineral chemistry data collected for bastnasite and other rare earth carbonate minerals from the Mountain Pass rare earth element deposit, California, USA. See related primary publication for a detailed description of this dataset.
Gravity and physical property data of the Blythe region, California and Arizona Gravity and physical property data of the Blythe region, California and Arizona
This data release presents point data associated with studies to understand the crustal structure of the Blythe region, where strands of the pre-Quaternary Eastern California Shear zone project across this region in California and Arizona. Data include principal fact information for new gravity measurements collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 2020 to 2025, previously unpublished...
International Manganese Samples—The Donnel Foster Hewett Collection International Manganese Samples—The Donnel Foster Hewett Collection
International manganese samples in this collection were acquired from various countries, typically by geoscientists and university professors of the corresponding region. Manganese samples from the United States were collected in the field primarily by other USGS scientists noted in the dataset. The dataset corresponds to Hewett's physical collection of manganese-bearing samples re...
SUTRA hydrogeologic models of Geologic Thermal Energy Storage (GeoTES) to support techno-economic analyses in select U.S. cities SUTRA hydrogeologic models of Geologic Thermal Energy Storage (GeoTES) to support techno-economic analyses in select U.S. cities
This data release documents sixteen 5-year simulations using the USGS SUTRA groundwater flow modeling software and includes the full output from one 5-year simulation for verification that the model code runs properly. The most recent version of SUTRA (version 4.0) was used to evaluate aquifer (ATES) and reservoir (RTES) thermal energy storage performance to support economic analyses by...
Digital database for the Preliminary geologic map of the Monkeys Head quadrangle, Mohave and La Paz Counties, Arizona Digital database for the Preliminary geologic map of the Monkeys Head quadrangle, Mohave and La Paz Counties, Arizona
This geologic database is a digitized version of the original 1:24,000-scale analog geologic map titled "Preliminary geologic map of the Monkeys Head quadrangle, Mohave and La Paz Counties, Arizona", published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1988. The Monkeys Head 7.5-minute quadrangle is located at the confluence of the Colorado and Bill Williams Rivers in westernmost Arizona...
Tabular uranium-lead and trace-element compositional data of zircons and whole-rock geochemistry of plutonic rocks in the Sierra Nevada, California Tabular uranium-lead and trace-element compositional data of zircons and whole-rock geochemistry of plutonic rocks in the Sierra Nevada, California
This dataset consists of zircon uranium-lead (U-Pb) isotopic compositions, ages, and trace-element compositions in addition to whole-rock chemical compositions from plutons within the Sierra Nevada, California. These samples primarily collected from 2015 to 2023, although some legacy data are included. Zircon crystals were analyzed using the Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Micro-Probe...
Ground-Based LIDAR Data of a Section of the Point Bonita Lighthouse Trail, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Marin County, California, January 23, 2025 Ground-Based LIDAR Data of a Section of the Point Bonita Lighthouse Trail, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Marin County, California, January 23, 2025
A rockfall occurred between the night of January 5 and the morning of January 6, 2025 on the Point Bonita Trail in the National Park Service Golden Gate National Recreation Area, California. The rockfall originated from a granodiorite rock face in the Franciscan Formation and deposited approximately 25 cubic meters of rock on the pedestrian trail below. The U.S. Geological Survey...
P- and S-Wave Suspension Velocity Logs in the San Francisco Bay Region, Alameda, Santa Clara, and Sonoma Counties, California P- and S-Wave Suspension Velocity Logs in the San Francisco Bay Region, Alameda, Santa Clara, and Sonoma Counties, California
This data release contains P- and S-wave velocity data from logs of nine wells in three large sedimentary basins in the San Francisco Bay region. The logs were collected between 2000 and 2006 for the U.S. Geological Survey under contract by R.A. Steller of GeoVision using an Oyo suspension logging system. Well depths range from 215 to 407 meters and sample spacing in the wells ranges...
