In cooperation with the Idaho Department of Water Resources, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected groundwater levels, geophysical logs, and video logs at four newly constructed monitoring wells from the Mountain Home area, Idaho, between November 12 and November 14, 2024. The Mountain Home area is located in the western Snake River plain, 40 miles to the southeast from the state...

This digital dataset is a result from the goal within the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program to convert surficial data that were previously published in non-digital format to digital, vector-based data suitable for use by the public and in USGS studies. The objective of the data conversion is to reproduce the original published mapping with...

These datasets support the conclusions in the journal article entitled "National population exposure and evacuation potential in the United States to earthquake-generated tsunami threats " as described in the abstract below: Previous efforts to characterize tsunami threats to people have focused primarily on individual scenarios in specific areas but have not recognized multiple...

The communities of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are threatened by tsunamis. Experts conducted earthquake and tsunami modeling to estimate the extent of tsunami inundation resulting from a Mariana Subduction Zone (MSZ) earthquake. The USGS Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst Tool (PEAT) was run to estimate pedestrian evacuation travel times out of the MSZ tsunami-hazard zone...

This data release includes hydroacoustic data for the 2022 to 2024 water years at four stations. These stations are part of a discrete and continuous monitoring project in embayments on Long Island Sound to support nutrient management activities in Connecticut. The data were collected by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Connecticut Departments of Energy and...

This dataset consists of three tables with data associated with Red-tailed Hawks exhibiting beak deformities characteristic of avian keratin disorder (AKD). The first is comprised of Red-tailed Hawks collected or captured in the Northwest region of the United States. The second is a compilation of reports from citizen science observers or scientific literature. The third is a poecivirus...

Many coastal communities in Alaska are threatened by tsunamis that could be generated by earthquakes associated with the Aleutian-Alaskan subduction zone (AASZ). Potential tsunami inundation from various AASZ earthquake scenarios has been modeled by others and related tsunami-hazard zones have been published (see supplemental information). We used the USGS Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst...

The communities of Puerto Rico are threatened by tsunamis from many earthquake sources (scenarios). Earthquake and tsunami modeling was conducted by experts to recognize as many earthquake sources as possible. Of the 34 tsunami scenarios developed, experts found that 16 could inundate some areas of Puerto Rico where people live and work with significant distance to safety. Pedestrian...

Invasive carp (silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, and black carp) are a highly impactful species with high fecundities, and they are currently expanding their ranges throughout the Central United States. These four species are known to avoid the conventional gear used to capture native fish species, and traditional removal methods are highly inefficient at capturing fish when at low...

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...

The U.S. Geological Survey measured groundwater levels and surface-water stages on March 28, 2023, near the Quashnet River in the town of Mashpee on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Groundwater levels and surface-water stages were measured over a ~7 hour time period to provide a synoptic snapshot of the water table and the water surfaces of streams, lakes, wetlands, and drainage ditches. The

The U.S. Geological Survey measured lakebed and lake-water temperatures to identify areas of groundwater discharge (inflow to the lake) and recharge (outflow from the lake) at Moody Pond, a groundwater flow-through lake, in Mashpee, Massachusetts. The relative temperatures of lakebed sediment and lake water are indicators of the water flux direction across the lake bottom. Lakebed and...
