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.

Determination of the effect of temperature (Q10) on denitrification rates in sediments collected from a groundwater discharge site in Ashumet Pond on Cape Cod, MA Determination of the effect of temperature (Q10) on denitrification rates in sediments collected from a groundwater discharge site in Ashumet Pond on Cape Cod, MA
This data release presents results from a laboratory study designed to measure the effect of temperature on denitrification rates in sediments collected from 5- to 30-cm depth below the lake bottom, at a location where groundwater discharges to the lake. Sediment cores were collected June 25, 2014 from the West site (Fishermans Cove) in Ashumet Pond, Cape Cod, MA then shipped to Boulder...
U.S. Geological Survey Bathymetric and Topobathymetric Survey Inventory, version 1 U.S. Geological Survey Bathymetric and Topobathymetric Survey Inventory, version 1
The 3DEP U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Inland Bathymetric and Topobathymetric Survey Inventory for the conterminous US is a database for digital, geospatial three-dimensional bathymetric and topobathymetric datasets created as a resource for public and private science and engineering analyses and modeling. Initiated in 2018, the database includes all published USGS inland to coastal...
CE-QUAL-W2 water-quality model for Green Peter and Foster Lakes and the South Santiam River, Oregon: 2002-2011 CE-QUAL-W2 water-quality model for Green Peter and Foster Lakes and the South Santiam River, Oregon: 2002-2011
Green Peter Dam on the Middle Santiam River and the downstream Foster Dam on the South Santiam River in Oregon have altered natural seasonal temperature patterns in those rivers. In response, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is leading efforts to improve conditions for Chinook salmon upstream and downstream of these dams by considering structural alterations and by exploring changes to...
Kootenai River Topobathymetric Lidar Validation Survey Data Kootenai River Topobathymetric Lidar Validation Survey Data
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists conducted field data collection efforts during the week of September 25 - 29, 2017, using a combination of conventional surveying technologies, for a large stretch of the Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho. The work was initiated as an effort to validate commercially acquired topobathymetric light detection and ranging (lidar) data. The goal...
Water withdrawal and consumption estimates for thermoelectric power plants in the United States, 2015 (ver. 1.2, July 2024) Water withdrawal and consumption estimates for thermoelectric power plants in the United States, 2015 (ver. 1.2, July 2024)
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed models to estimate plant-level thermoelectric water use based on linked heat-and-water budgets to provide a consistent method for water-use estimation across the fleet of U.S. thermoelectric plants. In addition to calculating a thermodynamic “best” estimate for each powerplant, the models also calculate plausible ranges of minimum and maximum...
Data from 2018 Experiment on Effects of Temperature on Survival and Growth of Juvenile Lost River Suckers (Deltistes luxatus) naturally exposed to Ichthyobodo spp Data from 2018 Experiment on Effects of Temperature on Survival and Growth of Juvenile Lost River Suckers (Deltistes luxatus) naturally exposed to Ichthyobodo spp
Data included in this data set are for an experiment conducted in 2018. Data were collected on survival, growth, food consumption, and Ichthyobodo copy numbers of Lost River suckers exposed to five different temperature groups. There are five levels of data. Temperature data contains 1,178 records and the data file is 35 KB, survival data contains 150 records and the data file is 3 KB...
