All Data

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during November 4–20, 2024 over a distance of 3,251 line kilometers in the western Mojave Desert, California. These data were collected in support of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI), which aims to improve knowledge of the geologic framework of the United States through...

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Laramie Mountains region of Wyoming. The airborne survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). The survey was designed by the USGS in collaboration with the Wyoming State Geological Survey and contracted by the USGS. The survey was...

This dataset includes field and laboratory analyses of water samples collected from lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams in northwest Alaska within Cape Krusenstern National Monument, Noatak National Preserve, Kobuk Valley National Park, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, and Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. At sites across the five national park units, in situ water...

These data were compiled in support of the Post-2026 Operational Guidelines and Strategies for Lake Powell and Lake Mead (Post 2026) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). These data were used to illustrate how eight operational strategies (one baseline and 5 alternatives) for Glen Canyon Dam could affect sand exposure for aeolian landscape and cultural site resources within Grand Canyon...

This data release compiles multi-year temperature datasets from the Santa Ana River, including continuous temperature records collected by USGS, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, and Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation District to support analyses of spatial and temporal thermal conditions.

This data release contains optical measurements for surface water samples collected during synoptic raft trips during three different sampling events. Data collection was performed by the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado (CO), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Lakewood, CO. The raft was steered in the center of the river thalweg, generally between Kremmling, Colorado...

This data set was collected as part of structured decision-making workshops designed to build Bayesian Decision Networks of habitat management actions in wetlands of the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture region. The models were created as part of an adaptive management framework to reduce uncertainty about management actions. We used formal elicitation process for expert judgment where...

A campaign microgravity network was established at Yellowstone Caldera, Wyoming, in 2017 as a subset of stations that were initially measured in 1977. The network has been measured subsequently on a quasi-annual basis to assess changes in gravity over time that may be related to subsurface magmatic or hydrothermal processes. This data release includes microgravity data collected by the U...

Data from a laboratory study undertaken at the U.S. Geological Survey to investigate solid/water partitioning of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in New Hampshire soils and biosolids are presented here. Soils and biosolids used for the experiments were collected using PFAS-free sampling equipment, air dried, gently homogenized, and sieved (soils only). Soil samples were...

Anthropogenic background concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in shallow soils (zero to six inches in depth) across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont are compiled in this data release, together with a summary table of soil PFAS method detection limits. New Hampshire samples were collected in 2021 (Santangelo and others, 2022), Vermont samples were collected in...

Between June 2024 and December 2024, tapwater samples were collected from 48 homes that use private well water as their drinking water source. All homes were located within a 50-kilometer radius of the 3M Cordova Facility in Cordova, Illinois, and analyzed for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The sampling effort was undertaken by the University of Iowa and samples were sent to...

Annual and seasonal trends in nitrogen and phosphorus loads, mean concentrations (flow-weighted loads), mean yields (area-weighted loads), and possible related stresses on aquatic ecology were estimated for the period December 1999 through November 2020 for each of 261,247 individual stream reaches and 81,717 12-digit hydrologic units (HUC12s) in the conterminous United States (CONUS)...
