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.

Electrical resistivity tomography data collected near a groundwater replenishment and reuse project, Yucca Valley, San Bernardino County, California, 2019 Electrical resistivity tomography data collected near a groundwater replenishment and reuse project, Yucca Valley, San Bernardino County, California, 2019
Hi-Desert Water District (HDWD) is constructing a wastewater treatment plant as part of a groundwater replenishment and reuse project (GRRP) in the east hydrogeologic unit (Nishikawa, and others, 2003) of the Warren Valley Basin (7-012) (California Department of Water Resources, 2016) in Yucca Valley, CA. The HDWD plans to use reclaimed wastewater for managed aquifer recharge by...
Oil and gas development potential in the US Intermountain West Oil and gas development potential in the US Intermountain West
We created a probabilistic classification model using the nonparametric machine learning technique 'Random Forests' for oil and gas development potential from low (0) to high (1) across the western US. The six predictor variables used in the model were: geophysical data showing aeromagnetic, isostatic gravity, and Bouguer gravity anomalies, geology, topography and bedrock depth. Our...
Riparian vegetation, topography, and ground cover constituents along the Upper Colorado River near Moab, UT (2010-2017) (ver. 1.1, Jan 2023) Riparian vegetation, topography, and ground cover constituents along the Upper Colorado River near Moab, UT (2010-2017) (ver. 1.1, Jan 2023)
The data release presents observations of riparian vegetation, topography, and ground cover in two river reaches of the Upper Colorado River within a river segment extending 208 river kilometers (rkm), from near the Colorado/Utah border to the confluence of the Green River. Methods included field observations and analysis of the plant community five times over eight years in the fall of...
Coastal Multibeam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2019 off of Santa Rosa Island, Florida Coastal Multibeam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2019 off of Santa Rosa Island, Florida
The U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC), collected multibeam bathymetry data off the coast of Santa Rosa Island, Florida in June of 2019. The data was collected as part of the USGS Resource Evaluation for Management Applications (CREMA) project. This USGS Data Release includes the resulting processed elevation point data (XYZ) as derived...
Coastal Bathymetry and Backscatter Data Collected in August 2019 from Cedar Island, Virginia Coastal Bathymetry and Backscatter Data Collected in August 2019 from Cedar Island, Virginia
Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida (USGS SPCSMC), conducted a geophysical survey of Cedar Island, Virginia, August 2019. During this study, multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data were collected aboard the R/V Sallenger, while single-beam bathymetry were collected aboard a towed seismic sled. Efforts...
Prediction grids of pH for the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial and Claiborne Aquifers Prediction grids of pH for the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial and Claiborne Aquifers
Groundwater is a vital resource to the Mississippi embayment region of the central United States. Regional and integrated assessments of water availability that link physical flow models and water quality in principal aquifer systems provide context for the long-term availability of these water resources. An innovative approach using machine learning was employed to predict groundwater...
