Apatite and zircon U/Pb and fission track geochronologic and thermochronologic data along the Fall Line of the southeastern United States Apatite and zircon U/Pb and fission track geochronologic and thermochronologic data along the Fall Line of the southeastern United States
This data release contains apatite and zircon U/Pb and fission track data for six samples collected along the Fall Line of the southeastern United States, from Virginia to the Georgia-South Carolina border. The data resolve phases of rapid exhumational cooling in the Permo-Triassic, additional cooling in the Jurassic-Early Cretaceous and slower cooling since the middle of the Cretaceous...
Geochemical reanalysis of rock and sediment samples from the Lower Middle Fork of the Salmon River collected as part of the Idaho Primitive Area Studies in the 1960's through 1980's Geochemical reanalysis of rock and sediment samples from the Lower Middle Fork of the Salmon River collected as part of the Idaho Primitive Area Studies in the 1960's through 1980's
This is a geochemical data set from the reanalysis of 44 rock samples collected between 1966 and 1970, and 107 sediment samples collected in 1966 and 1967. These samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey for a study investigating the mineral resources of the Idaho Primitive Area (Cater et al., 1973). The samples are from the Lower Middle Fork of the Salmon River, including the

Stream Temperature in the Donner und Blitzen basin, Southeastern Oregon, 2018-2021 Stream Temperature in the Donner und Blitzen basin, Southeastern Oregon, 2018-2021
This dataset includes stream temperature data from 34 sites in the Donner und Blitzen basin of SE Oregon. Data loggers were deployed in September of 2018 and downloaded each subsequent summer/fall through 2021. The EcoDrought_Temperature file contains temperature data (in degrees Celsius) by logger serial number and site for the study period. The EcoDrought_Points spatial data layer...
Stream Temperature in the Northern Great Basin region of Southeastern Oregon, 2016-2021 Stream Temperature in the Northern Great Basin region of Southeastern Oregon, 2016-2021
This dataset includes hourly stream and air temperature data from 124 sites throughout the Northern Great Basin region of SE Oregon. Data loggers were deployed June through September of 2016 and downloaded each subsequent summer through 2021. The SE_OR_Stream_Temps and SE_OR_Air_Temps files contain temperature data (in degrees Celsius) by logger serial number and site for the study...
Density-weighted proportion (dwp) tool suite Density-weighted proportion (dwp) tool suite
Estimating the number of birds or bats killed at a wind power facility involves adjusting observed carcass counts to account for imperfect detection. To account for carcasses that lie outside the searched area, the count is adjusted by dividing by the estimated proportion of carcasses lying within the searched area or the density-weighted proportion (dwp). The dwp package provides tools...
Geochemical data for alkaline igneous rock units in the Cripple Creek district, Colorado USA: 1989-2016 Geochemical data for alkaline igneous rock units in the Cripple Creek district, Colorado USA: 1989-2016
This data release includes new major and trace element geochemical data acquired by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for igneous rocks in the Cripple Creek district in Colorado. Cripple Creek is among the largest epithermal districts in the world, with more than 800 metric tons (t) Au (less than 26.4 Moz). The ores are associated spatially, temporally, and genetically with ~34 to 28 Ma...
Geochemical data for stream water and stream sediment samples from the northeast part of the Tanacross quadrangle, Alaska Geochemical data for stream water and stream sediment samples from the northeast part of the Tanacross quadrangle, Alaska
This data release is part of a study designed to test geochemical methods that best delineate known mineral deposits in the northeast part of the Tanacross 1 x 3 quadrangle, within the Yukon-Tanana Upland region, Alaska. The total area sampled is about 3,200 km2. Extensive tundra cover and patchy spruce/alder vegetation and very limited outcrop exposure characterize the area. Soils and...
Bathymetry and topography, video observation, and derived benthic habitat data offshore of Seattle, Washington Bathymetry and topography, video observation, and derived benthic habitat data offshore of Seattle, Washington
In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, initiated the Puget Sound Scientific Studies and Technical Investigations Assistance Program, which was designed to support research for implementing the Puget Sound Action Agenda. The Action Agenda was created because Puget Sound was designated as one of 28 estuaries of National Significance under section 320 of the Clean...
Whole rock geochemical data from the eastern part of the Yukon-Tanana Upland region, Alaska, USA Whole rock geochemical data from the eastern part of the Yukon-Tanana Upland region, Alaska, USA
This data release is part of a 2016-2019 study on the geology, geochemistry and geochronology of ore systems in the eastern Yukon-Tanana Upland region, Alaska. Whole rock chemistry was conducted on 185 samples, mostly from Au prospects, with lesser samples from porphyry Cu prospects. Geographically, most samples are from gold prospects near the Pogo Au mine and east to Black Mountain in...

National assessment of carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery and associated carbon dioxide retention resources - data release National assessment of carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery and associated carbon dioxide retention resources - data release
In 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed a probabilistic assessment of the volume of technically recoverable oil resources available if current carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) technologies were applied in amenable oil reservoirs underlying the onshore and State waters area of the conterminous United States. The assessment also includes estimates of the...
