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.

R code: Landscape- and local-level variables associated with monarch breeding occurrence and abundance at patches in Wisconsin grasslands R code: Landscape- and local-level variables associated with monarch breeding occurrence and abundance at patches in Wisconsin grasslands
This code file accompanies a manuscript describing associations of monarch breeding occurrence and abundance with landscape and local characteristics at locations in northern and southern Wisconsin. Context for the study can be obtained from the manuscript (Bruce (nee Harnsberger), A.S., Thogmartin, W.E., Trosen, C., Oberhauser, K., and Gratton, C., In-Press, Landscape- and local- level...
SPARROW model inputs and simulated future baseflow for streams of the Upper Colorado River Basin SPARROW model inputs and simulated future baseflow for streams of the Upper Colorado River Basin
The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model was used to estimate baseflow changes from historical (1984 - 2012) to thirty-year periods centered around 2030, 2050, and 2080 under warm/wet, median, and hot/dry climatic conditions. SPARROW is a spatially explicit hybrid statistical and process-based model that estimates mean...
Soil data and age models used to investigate the effects of permafrost thaw on carbon storage, Interior Alaska Soil data and age models used to investigate the effects of permafrost thaw on carbon storage, Interior Alaska
We quantified permafrost plateau carbon (C) and post-thaw C stocks across a peatland permafrost thaw chronosequence in Interior Alaska to evaluate whether C losses occurred with thaw . Peat core macrofossil reconstructions revealed three stratigraphic layers of peat: (1) a base layer of fen/marsh peat, (2) forested permafrost plateau peat and, (3) where permafrost thaw has occurred...
Raster and mapping data indicating landscape change from the June 2012 storm in the Duluth, MN region Raster and mapping data indicating landscape change from the June 2012 storm in the Duluth, MN region
The GeoTiff raster data were created from subtraction of elevation values collected in 2012 from elevation values collected in 2011. Both data collections were conducted by airborne lidar surveys contracted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. These survey occured before and after a historical rain event that cause widespread landscape change. The shapefiles are polygon...
Reclassified lidar point cloud data from 2016 LARIAC and 2019 NCALM collections covering part of the Woolsey wildfire near Malibu, California Reclassified lidar point cloud data from 2016 LARIAC and 2019 NCALM collections covering part of the Woolsey wildfire near Malibu, California
These lidar data are derived from two airborne lidar surveys: a 2016 Los Angeles Region Imagery Acquisition Consortium (LARIAC) survey, and a 2019 National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) survey. These data were reclassified in order to improve the classification of ground points, and to make the classification of both datasets as consistent as possible. The NCALM data had...
Discerning innate immunity in American kestrels, Falco sparverius, through 21 days post-hatch Discerning innate immunity in American kestrels, Falco sparverius, through 21 days post-hatch
Data consist of flow cytometry files that were generated in the analysis of white blood cells from kestrel blood. Thus, data are in standard format that allows files created by one type of acquisition hardware and software to be analyzed by any other type.
