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.

TRAD: Thermal traits of anurans database for the Southeastern United States TRAD: Thermal traits of anurans database for the Southeastern United States
We present ATraiU-TaDS: Anuran Traits of the United States - Thermal Data for Southeastern Species, a database of thermoregulation trait values related to physiological (critical thermal minima and maxima, preferred temperature, mass) and behavioral thermoregulation (activity period, retreat emergence temperature, basking temperature, foraging temperature minimum and maximum) for 40...
Terrestrial LiDAR Point Clouds and Channel Morphology Assessments along Midway Branch in Fort Meade, Maryland, for 2020-2022 Terrestrial LiDAR Point Clouds and Channel Morphology Assessments along Midway Branch in Fort Meade, Maryland, for 2020-2022
This metadata record documents six LiDAR point clouds, six point cloud generation reports, and three comma-delimited tables that contain information on local channel morphology and topography for a select number of reaches along Midway Branch and its associated tributaries within the confines of Fort George G. Meade, Fort Meade, Maryland. Point cloud generation reports include diagnostic
Synthetic storm-driven flood-inundation grids for coastal communities in 10 New Jersey counties Synthetic storm-driven flood-inundation grids for coastal communities in 10 New Jersey counties
Digital flood-inundation maps for an approximately 295-mile length of the New Jersey coastline and tidewaters through 10-coastal counties stretching from Cumberland County through Bergen County; including Cumberland, Cape May, Atlantic, Ocean, Monmouth, Middlesex, Union, Essex, Hudson, and Bergen counties were created by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the New Jersey
Predictive Maps of Fuel Break Effectiveness by Treatment Type and Underlying Resilience to Disturbance and Resistance to Invasion Across the Western U.S. Predictive Maps of Fuel Break Effectiveness by Treatment Type and Underlying Resilience to Disturbance and Resistance to Invasion Across the Western U.S.
Escalated wildfire activity within the western U.S. has widespread societal impacts and long-term consequences for the imperiled sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) biome. Shifts from historical fire regimes and the interplay between frequent disturbance and invasive annual grasses may initiate permanent state transitions as wildfire frequency outpaces sagebrush communities' innate capacity to...

Lifespan of Massachusetts salt marsh units Lifespan of Massachusetts salt marsh units
Lifespan of salt marshes in Massachusetts (MA) are calculated using conceptual marsh units defined by Ackerman and others (2022). The lifespan calculation is based on estimated sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) predictions after Ganju and others (2020). Sea level predictions are local estimates which correspond to the 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 meter increase in Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL...
Continuous meteorological and soil data to support understanding of nutrient and sediment loads from overland and subsurface-tile flow at paired edge-of-field agricultural sites, 2015–21, Black Creek watershed, near Harlan, Indiana, USA Continuous meteorological and soil data to support understanding of nutrient and sediment loads from overland and subsurface-tile flow at paired edge-of-field agricultural sites, 2015–21, Black Creek watershed, near Harlan, Indiana, USA
This data release includes meteorological and soil information collected from calendar years 2015 to 2021 (water years 2016 to 2021) that include air temperature, soil temperature, soil moisture and solar radiation monitored at a site in the Black Creek subwatershed near Harlan, Allen County, Indiana (USGS 411228084541703 MET STATION WEST OF BULL RAPIDS RD NR HARLAN, IN). Meteorological...
Shakemap Atlas Composite Dataset for the Conterminous United States from 1906 to 2020 Shakemap Atlas Composite Dataset for the Conterminous United States from 1906 to 2020
Composite of Shakemap Atlas ground motions (PGA and PGV) and intensity calculations at a scale of 10km. Time history at each grid cell and maximum observed/estimated hazards are provided.
Long-term effects of timber harvest on vernal pool availability and occupancy of two obligate amphibians Long-term effects of timber harvest on vernal pool availability and occupancy of two obligate amphibians
This data set is comprised of 3 files of information collected on amphibians and vernal pool habitats at Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge from 2004 - 2016.
Abiotic and biotic factors reduce viability of a high-elevation salamander in its native range Abiotic and biotic factors reduce viability of a high-elevation salamander in its native range
Includes data used to estimate population demographic parameters for an exemplary high-elevation amphibian species, the federally endangered Shenandoah salamander (Plethodon shenandoah). These parameters were entered into a Markov projection model which we used to forecast the future population status of the Shenandoah salamander.
Borehole data for pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks beneath the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains, Florida and Alabama Borehole data for pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks beneath the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains, Florida and Alabama
Data from 316 boreholes (including coreholes) that penetrated buried pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks that lie beneath Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain sedimentary deposits in Florida and Alabama were compiled from non-proprietary, mostly published sources in order to support subsurface geologic mapping, geologic interpretation of geophysical data (aeromagnetic, gravity, seismic)...
Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) 3.0 - World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) Submission Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) 3.0 - World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) Submission
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) - Science Analytics and Synthesis (SAS) - Gap Analysis Project (GAP) manages the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US), an Arc10x geodatabase, that includes a full inventory of areas dedicated to the preservation of biological diversity and to other natural, recreation, historic, and cultural uses, managed for these purposes...
