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.

Simulated Snow and Meteorology Variables, Qashqadaryo Region, Uzbekistan, 1950-2023 Simulated Snow and Meteorology Variables, Qashqadaryo Region, Uzbekistan, 1950-2023
This data release contains output from a numerical snow simulation for a 166 kilometer (km) × 160 km model domain in the Qashqadaryo region of Uzbekistan. The simulation encompasses key watersheds within the region and uses SnowModel (Liston and Elder, 2006; Liston and others, 2020; Liston, 2020) to estimate the snow water resources and meteorology across the simulation domain. The...
Flynn Creek Crater Sample Collection: Drill core photos from drill core collected in 1967 and 1977-1979 Flynn Creek Crater Sample Collection: Drill core photos from drill core collected in 1967 and 1977-1979
Flynn Creek crater is a ~3.8 km diameter, >200 m deep, flat-floored impact structure that formed ~360 Ma in what is now north-central Tennessee (36°17’ N, 85°40’ W) [1-4]. Between 1967 and 1979, USGS scientist Dr. David Roddy conducted a drilling program at Flynn Creek crater, an invaluable terrestrial analog that can be applied to the field of planetary impact cratering dynamics [5,6]...
Conventional and Global Positioning System survey data from 1975-2022 at Bald Eagle ridge, Lake County, Colorado Conventional and Global Positioning System survey data from 1975-2022 at Bald Eagle ridge, Lake County, Colorado
As part of an effort by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to better understand topographic and structural conditions that promote slow spreading and sagging of mountain ridges (Varnes and others, 1989), USGS researchers began surveying monitoring points at Bald Eagle ridge in the Sawatch Range of Colorado in 1975 (Radbruch-Hall and others, 1976; Varnes and others, 1990). Bald Eagle ridge...
Time-series measurements of oceanographic data collected in the nearshore zone offshore of Marconi Beach, Wellfleet, MA, December 9, 2024 to March 10, 2025 Time-series measurements of oceanographic data collected in the nearshore zone offshore of Marconi Beach, Wellfleet, MA, December 9, 2024 to March 10, 2025
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center deployed a four-legged bottom landing frame (nanopod) containing oceanographic instruments to collect measurements of winter wave conditions directly offshore of Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, MA. Supplementary sediment samples were collected to characterize grain size. Marconi Beach is the site of ongoing...
Revised CMIP6-LOCA2 (v20240915) precipitation extreme metrics from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States Revised CMIP6-LOCA2 (v20240915) precipitation extreme metrics from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States
NOAA’s Assessment Technical Support Unit (TSU) created a suite of temperature and precipitation metrics of extremes and threshold exceedance variables based on the Climate Model Intercomparison Program Phase 6 CMIP6 Localized Constructed Analogs (CMIP6-LOCA2) data set to support the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5). Following the v20240915 revision of the CMIP6-LOCA2...
Rock mass quality and structural geology observations at Bald Eagle ridge and vicinity, Lake County, Colorado Rock mass quality and structural geology observations at Bald Eagle ridge and vicinity, Lake County, Colorado
Bald Eagle ridge, located about 14 km west of Leadville, Colorado, is slowly spreading and sagging, resulting in sackungen that have been monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) since the mid-1970s (for example, Varnes and others, 1989; Varnes and others, 1990; Varnes and others, 2000). The ridge forms the southeastern flank of the glaciated Busk Creek valley and is underlain by
Predicted distributions of 20 sensitive species for the years 2060, 2075, and 2090 in New Mexico under two different carbon emission scenarios Predicted distributions of 20 sensitive species for the years 2060, 2075, and 2090 in New Mexico under two different carbon emission scenarios
This dataset contains modeled distributions for 20 species under two separate emission scenarios to inform conservation opportunity areas in new Mexico. A main objective of our study was to understand how well the current portfolio of conservation areas (SWAP Conservation Opportunity Areas and Important Plant Areas) in New Mexico would serve as refugia for species at risk with a changing...
Hawaiian Islands Hawaiian Forest Bird Surveys (HFBS) bird counts and vegetation maps 1976-1983 Hawaiian Islands Hawaiian Forest Bird Surveys (HFBS) bird counts and vegetation maps 1976-1983
In 1976-1983, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducted systematic surveys of forest birds and plant communities on all of the main Hawaiian Islands as part of the Hawaiian Forest Bird Surveys (HFBS; Scott et al. 1986). Results of this monumental effort have guided conservation efforts and provided the basis for many plant and bird recovery plans and land acquisition decisions in...
Surface water microplastics concentrations and characteristics from inland lakes in Minnesota, 2023: Version 1 Surface water microplastics concentrations and characteristics from inland lakes in Minnesota, 2023: Version 1
This dataset describes the total concentration (Microplastics per Liter - MPL) of microplastics in surface water from eighteen distinct inland lakes in Minnesota. It also includes individual microplastic characteristics such as the longest measured dimension, width perpendicular to the longest dimension, color, morphology, length-to-width ratio, and composition. Spatial land use data, U...

Turbidity model input and output data and associated imagery from May 2022 to November 2023 at Colorado River near Cameo, Colorado Turbidity model input and output data and associated imagery from May 2022 to November 2023 at Colorado River near Cameo, Colorado
Regression models were developed with reflectance values from remote-sensing imagery and concurrent turbidity measurements during a 2 year period at Colorado River near Cameo, Colorado streamgage (U.S. Geological Survey station number 09095500). Three types of remote sensing systems were tested including satellite- and ground-based sensors. Models relate the explanatory variables...
