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.

Near-surface geophysical data collected along French Gulch near Breckenridge, Colorado, USA, September 2020 Near-surface geophysical data collected along French Gulch near Breckenridge, Colorado, USA, September 2020
Near-surface geophysical surveys were completed in September 2020 in a mine-affected drainage near Breckenridge, Colorado, known as French Gulch. The study area was along a 0.3 mile (0.5 kilometer [km]) reach of French Gulch, approximately 2 river miles upstream from its confluence with the Blue River. This data release presents data from three geophysical surveys that used fiber-optic...
Walrus Haulout Outlines and Count Data Apparent from Aerial Survey Images Collected Near Point Lay Alaska, Autumn 2018 and 2019 Walrus Haulout Outlines and Count Data Apparent from Aerial Survey Images Collected Near Point Lay Alaska, Autumn 2018 and 2019
This dataset provides walrus haulout group outlines, systematic grids cast over the outlines, and digitized points at the centroids of the individual walruses identified inside a randomly selected subset of grid cells. These data are based on visual interpretation of unpublished imagery from 26 aerial surveys by an Unoccupied Aerial System (UAS) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey...
Analysis of Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium concentrations and loads for selected 303(d) listed segments in the Grand Valley, western Colorado, 1991-2018 (ver. 3.0, August 2021) Analysis of Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium concentrations and loads for selected 303(d) listed segments in the Grand Valley, western Colorado, 1991-2018 (ver. 3.0, August 2021)
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Grand Valley Drainage District and the Colorado Water Conservation Board, conducted a loading analysis for selected constituents and tributaries to the Colorado River in the Grand Valley, western Colorado, using data from 1991 to 2018, to characterize concentrations, stream loading, and load reductions for Escherichia coli, total
Mercury and water level fluctuations in lakes of northern Minnesota - sampling site land cover and inundated area data Mercury and water level fluctuations in lakes of northern Minnesota - sampling site land cover and inundated area data
These data tables summarize land cover classifications, slope measurements, and inundated area estimates for several lakes in northern Minnesota, as part of a larger project seeking to identify associations between young-of-year Yellow Perch mercury content and water level metrics, temperature, and annual deposition data in a multivariate analysis. One table presents inundated area...
Lock and Dam 19 Mega-Imaging Sonar Mosaic, 2020 Lock and Dam 19 Mega-Imaging Sonar Mosaic, 2020
A high-resolution sidescan image of the Mississippi River, Lock and Dam 19 approach (downstream) was collected with a Humminbird Solix. Side-imaging sonar creates an image of underwater riverbed features by measuring the intensity of acoustic reflections. This mega side-imaging sonar data was collected and mosaicked to capture more detailed information on the condition of the lock...
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Forest Composition and Hawaii Elepaio Breeding Behavior 1992-1994 and 2015-2019 Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Forest Composition and Hawaii Elepaio Breeding Behavior 1992-1994 and 2015-2019
This data release contains the tabular data and metadata to record changes in forest composition (tree species relative abundance, tree density, tree height, and tree diameter) over a span from 1993-1994 and 2015-2019. The data also includes Hawaii elepaio breeding territory sizes, and nest site selection (nest tree species, nest tree height, nest tree diameter).
