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.

Digital database of the previously published Geologic Map of the Lamar Quadrangle, Colorado and Kansas Digital database of the previously published Geologic Map of the Lamar Quadrangle, Colorado and Kansas
This digital data release contains geospatial geologic data compiled for the Lamar 250k quadrangle, a region in eastern Colorado and western Kansas, which is predominantly covered by Quaternary deposits that overlay Cretaceous bedrock. Geologic data, compiled from published sources, include the location and characteristics of geologic contacts and faults, mapped geologic polygons, and...
S-NPP 375-m eVIIRS Remote Sensing Phenology Metrics - across the conterminous U.S. (ver. 3.0, August 2025) S-NPP 375-m eVIIRS Remote Sensing Phenology Metrics - across the conterminous U.S. (ver. 3.0, August 2025)
Phenological dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems reflect the response of the Earth's vegetation canopy to changes in climate and hydrology and are thus important to monitor operationally. Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center have developed methods for documenting the seasonal dynamics of vegetation in an operational...
Spatially-Explicit Predictive Maps of Greater Sage-Grouse Brood Selection Integrated with Brood Survival in Nevada and Northeastern California, USA Spatially-Explicit Predictive Maps of Greater Sage-Grouse Brood Selection Integrated with Brood Survival in Nevada and Northeastern California, USA
We used a hierarchical Bayesian modeling framework to estimate resource selection functions and survival for early and late brood-rearing stages of sage-grouse in relation to a broad suite of habitat characteristics evaluated at multiple spatial scales within the Great Basin from 2009 to 2019. Sage-grouse selected for greater perennial grass cover, higher relative elevations, and areas...
Ecological Data Mapper Ecological Data Mapper
This application was created to visualize and interact with the ecological data from the ongoing monitoring effort on two previously restored streams in Reston, Virginia - Snakeden Branch and The Glade. The “Reston monitoring program” includes the measurement of hydrologic, water-quality, and ecological data and evaluations of changes in these measurements over time. For more information...
Digital Database of the Previously Published Geologic and Structure Contour Map of the La Junta Quadrangle, Colorado and Kansas Digital Database of the Previously Published Geologic and Structure Contour Map of the La Junta Quadrangle, Colorado and Kansas
This digital dataset release of the La Junta, Colorado and Kansas quadrangle is composed of previously published elevation contours, structure contours on the limits of the Morrison, Dakota, and Purgatorie Formations, and geologic formational data. The digitizing of this map is to provide a more accessible dataset to be available for public usage. The original dataset was part of an...
Digital database of the previously published geologic map of the Scottsbluff 1° x 2° quadrangle, Nebraska and Colorado Digital database of the previously published geologic map of the Scottsbluff 1° x 2° quadrangle, Nebraska and Colorado
This data release contains a digital compilation of geologic data from the Scottsbluff 1° x 2° quadrangle of western Nebraska and northeastern Colorado, a region predominantly characterized by Quaternary and Tertiary sedimentary and extrusive igneous rocks. This geodatabase, digitized from published resources, includes the position of volcanic ash-bed localities, structural data of...
