Data

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Department of Energy (DOE) have collaborated to acquire high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric data, over the Salton Trough in southern California, to support geologic and geophysical mapping and modeling that will assist geothermal and critical mineral studies. The surveys, referred to as GeoFlight spans an area that contains some of...

Clear Lake, located within the Coast Range west of California's Central Valley, is the largest natural freshwater lake contained fully within the state. The lake has three arms: a large open-water region to the northwest (Upper Arm), a smaller and narrower region to the southeast (Lower Arm), and the smallest and narrowest region to the east (Oaks Arm). Water quality in Clear Lake is...

This dataset contains world production quantities, world production capacities, and United States consumption statistics for a select number of non-fuel mineral commodities published in the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook, Volume I (Metals and Minerals) and Volume III (Area Reports — International), and cited in U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2025-1047 ("Methodology and...

This dataset contains satellite-derived information on lake elevations for selected glacial dammed lakes (GDLs) monitored by the National Weather Service Alaska-Pacific River Forecasting Center in Anchorage, Alaska, as well as several Alaska lakes collocated with monitoring gages. The lake elevation data are derived from satellite-observed water surface elevations from the Surface Water...

Underwater measurements of photosynthetically active radiation were collected along multiple transects throughout Lake Michigan during the 2021 cooperative science monitoring initiative survey of the lake. These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify the water transparency of the lake. The data included in this release provide the percent of photosynthetically active...

This dataset accompanies the article "Off-channel habitat use by silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis) in the upper Mississippi River". Acoustic telemetry data (Innovasea, Inc.) were collected on invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) in Pools 17-19 of the upper Mississippi River to examine timing...

Concentrations of Total40 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS), and Total13 PFAS were consistently higher at the AFFF sites compared to the two East Coast reference sites in tree swallow eggs, nestlings, and diet by as much as a factor of 40 times higher. Sites in the Upper Midwest with other PFAS sources also had

This data release contains the compilation of country level mineral commodity production data extracted from Table 1 within all published 2019 international chapters in the U.S. Geological Survey's annual publication Minerals Yearbook Volume III: Area Reports — International. Individual Minerals Yearbook country chapters are published independently from the complete volume as "Advanced...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) chemicals are known to strongly sorb onto soils when being transported downward through the vadose zone. The degree to which this sorption occurs depends on the length of the specific PFAS molecular chain and the properties of the soil. The properties with greatest influence on the soils PFAS sorption potential are percent silt and clay, and...

In this work, we refined and expanded the coseismic surface rupture map of the 1983 M6.9 Borah Peak earthquake coseismic rupture mapping at a scale of 1:500. While earlier work (DuRoss et al., 2019; Bello et al., 2020, 2021) used structure-from-motion (SfM) methods to construct digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS or drone) imagery, the...

This data release contains geochemical data for 52 rock samples collected by Russell C. Evarts and colleagues from 1992 to 1999 to support geologic mapping of the Toutle 7.5-minute quadrangle in southwest Washington. Fifty samples were analyzed in analytical laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and three samples were analyzed at the Peter Hooper GeoAnalytical Laboratory at...

In this dataset, there are four csv files that provide the raw fish behavior telemetry data and a single csv file that provides the processed velocity data.
