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.

A finite-difference algorithm used to simulate radial diffusion, adsorption, and reactions of chlorinated ethenes in porous media A finite-difference algorithm used to simulate radial diffusion, adsorption, and reactions of chlorinated ethenes in porous media
Simulations of radial diffusion, adsorption, and reactions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - trichloroethene (TCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE), vinyl chloride (VC), trichlorofluoroethene (TCFE) - and bromide (Br) in a porous media are conducted using rock properties identified from a mudstone aquifer in the Newark Basin, near West Trenton, New Jersey. The simulations are...
Mapped sealed and unsealed pavement and concentrations of metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and radionuclides for soils, pavement dust, and stream sediment for 10 urban watersheds Mapped sealed and unsealed pavement and concentrations of metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and radionuclides for soils, pavement dust, and stream sediment for 10 urban watersheds
These data represent a one-time synoptic survey of sampled soils, pavement dust, and stream sediment in 10 urban watersheds in three regions of the United States (Pacific Northwest, northeast, and southeast) to evaluate sources of sediment and two groups of common urban contaminants: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals. Analyses of samples from six of the watersheds...
Pesticide recovery data for surface water and lab reagent samples analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory schedule 2437, water years 2016-17. Pesticide recovery data for surface water and lab reagent samples analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory schedule 2437, water years 2016-17.
This data release contains two tables-one table of field spike recovery data and one table of lab reagent spike recovery data-for pesticides and pesticide degradates analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) schedule 2437, and associated metadata. The table of field spike recovery data includes results from paired environmental and spike samples collected by the...
Estimated Annual Agricultural Pesticide Use by Major Crop or Crop Group for States of the Conterminous United States, 1992-2019 Estimated Annual Agricultural Pesticide Use by Major Crop or Crop Group for States of the Conterminous United States, 1992-2019
This data release provides state-level estimates of annual agricultural use of pesticide compounds by major crop or crop group for states in the conterminous United States, for years 1992-2019, compiled from data used to make county-level estimates by means of methods described in Thelin and Stone (2013) and Baker and Stone (2015). The source of these data is the same as the published...
Preliminary estimated annual agricultural pesticide use for counties of the conterminous United States, 2018 Preliminary estimated annual agricultural pesticide use for counties of the conterminous United States, 2018
This data release provides preliminary estimates of annual agricultural use of pesticide compounds in counties of the conterminous United States, for the year 2018, compiled by means of methods described in Thelin and Stone (2013) and Baker and Stone (2015). For all States except California, U.S. Department of Agriculture county-level data for harvested-crop acreage were used in...
Mean seasonal time-step estimates of daily streamflow and daily baseflow, and loads of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total suspended solids at surface-water stations in the southeastern United States, 2001-14 Mean seasonal time-step estimates of daily streamflow and daily baseflow, and loads of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total suspended solids at surface-water stations in the southeastern United States, 2001-14
This metadata record describes mean seasonal time-step estimates of daily streamflow and daily baseflow, and total and baseflow estimates of loads of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total suspended solids at surface-water stations in the southeastern United States for the period 2001-14. Streamflow and load estimates described in this data release were obtained using the Fluxmaster...
