Data Releases
The data collected and the techniques used by USGS scientists should conform to or reference national and international standards and protocols if they exist and when they are relevant and appropriate. For datasets of a given type, and if national or international metadata standards exist, the data are indexed with metadata that facilitates access and integration.

Southeast FireMap Burned Area Datasets Southeast FireMap Burned Area Datasets
The Southeast FireMap (SEFM) project is a collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Tall Timbers Research Station that aims to improve burned area mapping across the southeastern United States. Tracking prescribed fires and wildfires is essential for effective wildfire risk mitigation, natural resource management, and landscape conservation across both public and...
Bird dataset from point counts at 2023 CASC and NPS field sites in the Sky Islands and Mogollon Plateau, U.S. and Mexico Bird dataset from point counts at 2023 CASC and NPS field sites in the Sky Islands and Mogollon Plateau, U.S. and Mexico
This dataset field sampling of bird communities based on standardized point count methods with distance sampling. University of Arizona field crews gathered all data using 8-minute point counts, with stations placed 200-300 m apart along transects.
Airborne magnetic and radiometric data acquired over parts of Hudspeth, Culberson, Jeff Davis, Presidio, and Brewster Counties, Texas Airborne magnetic and radiometric data acquired over parts of Hudspeth, Culberson, Jeff Davis, Presidio, and Brewster Counties, Texas
This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey of the Texas Alkaline Igneous Belt in western Texas. The airborne survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative. NV5 Geospatial, in collaboration with EDCON-PRJ, Inc., acquired high-precision airborne magnetic and radiometric data from January 19, 2025 to...
Point glaciological field measurements from Sperry Glacier, Montana, and South Cascade Glacier, Washington Point glaciological field measurements from Sperry Glacier, Montana, and South Cascade Glacier, Washington
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) routinely collects direct measurements of high-elevation mountain snow accumulation at South Cascade Glacier and Sperry Glacier; two of five benchmark glaciers associated with the U.S. Geological Survey Benchmark Glacier Project. South Cascade Glacier is located in the Cascade Range in Washington. Measurements began at South Cascade Glacier during the
High Resolution Voyager 2 Images of Neptune's Moon, Triton High Resolution Voyager 2 Images of Neptune's Moon, Triton
We processed 41 Voyager 2 images of Neptune’s moon Triton with pixel scales 2 km/pixel form their raw, compressed, archived state to more usable cloud-optimized geotiffs, which can easily be used within spatial analysis software such as GIS. Processing was done using the USGS’ ISIS software and included geometric and radiometric calibration, and the removal of image reseaux and corner...
Outputs supporting the exploration of zero-inflated integrated species distribution models Outputs supporting the exploration of zero-inflated integrated species distribution models
These data are model outputs demonstrating species abundance estimates derived from a integrated species distribution model
Geodetically improved images and mosaics of Titan via rigorous photogrammetric control of Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem data Geodetically improved images and mosaics of Titan via rigorous photogrammetric control of Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem data
Saturn’s moon Titan is a focus of scientific investigation and future exploration by NASA’s Dragonfly mission. Its surface is covered by lakes of liquid ethane and methane, vast dune seas, and abundant organics sourced from photochemical reactions in its dense atmosphere. Over the course of its 13-year mission, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft’s Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) acquired near...
Campaign microgravity data from Lassen Volcanic Center, California Campaign microgravity data from Lassen Volcanic Center, California
A campaign microgravity network was established at Lassen Volcanic Center, California, in 2018, and a subset of that 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.S. Geological Survey Volcano Science...
Vegetation and habitat dataset for 2023 CASC and NPS field sites, Sky Islands and Mogollon Plateau, U.S. and Mexico Vegetation and habitat dataset for 2023 CASC and NPS field sites, Sky Islands and Mogollon Plateau, U.S. and Mexico
This multi-part, muti-scaled dataset summaries information from field sampling of vegetation plots on the structure and composition of vegetation and habitats that were also sampled for bird communities. Estimates are based on standardized assessments methods such as distance sampling, point-intercept methods, and censuses or stem counts that measure basal area, vegetation cover and...
Monotonic Trends in Modelled Water Supply for Select Outputs from NHM-PRMS models for Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands Monotonic Trends in Modelled Water Supply for Select Outputs from NHM-PRMS models for Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands
This dataset contains the Mann-Kendall p value, Theil - Sen slope estimate, summary statistics for eleven modelled water budget components simulated by the National Hydrologic Model Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) (Markstrom and others, 2024). The trend analyses are created from aggregated outputs from three separate models, each of which was forced with Daymet Version 4...
Sequoia National Park Tree Growth Data for Thinning and Burning Study Sequoia National Park Tree Growth Data for Thinning and Burning Study
These data were collected as part of the USGS Sierra Nevada Forest Dynamics Study. They include tree diameter and mortality data as well as tree species identification and plot measurements from 8 plots located in Sequoia National Park from 1984 to 2023.
Critical and functional habitat maps of seabirds and shorebirds on Cat Island and Ship Island, Mississippi, 1996-2021, overall Critical and functional habitat maps of seabirds and shorebirds on Cat Island and Ship Island, Mississippi, 1996-2021, overall
This data release describes critical and functional habitat for seabirds and shorebirds along Cat Island and Ship Island, Mississippi for the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (MsCIP). These maps were developed from existing habitat maps developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Wetland Inventory Program and maps developed specifically for the MsCIP Monitoring and...
