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.

RECOVER indicator regions in the Everglades Depth Estimation Network RECOVER indicator regions in the Everglades Depth Estimation Network
The Restoration, Coordination, and Verification (RECOVER) program is a collaboration among federal and state agencies, Tribes, and other institutions that conduct and guide scientific research for Everglades restoration in southern Florida. RECOVER members evaluate restoration plans and designs and assess real-world environmental conditions. One of the tools used by the RECOVER program...
Hyperspectral and Thermal Data Collected during Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) Operations near Moab, Utah in May 2025 Hyperspectral and Thermal Data Collected during Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) Operations near Moab, Utah in May 2025
In May 2025, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Uncrewed Systems Office (NUSO) conducted uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) flights to collect hyperspectral and thermal remote sensing imagery over dryland sites during a collaborative field campaign near Moab, Utah. Two sites, "Horsethief Campground" and "Salt Valley", which have differing vegetation and soil characteristics, were...
High resolution natural color, thermal, and multispectral imagery collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping vegetation health and natural spring change at Hoxworth Springs, Clark Well and Buck Springs in the Coconino National Forest, AZ, 202 High resolution natural color, thermal, and multispectral imagery collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping vegetation health and natural spring change at Hoxworth Springs, Clark Well and Buck Springs in the Coconino National Forest, AZ, 202
The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery, surface temperatures and multispectral imagery via a hexacopter uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping Hoxworth Springs, Clark Well and Buck Springs in the Coconino National Forest in Arizona. Visual imagery was collected in jpg (for color imagery) and TIFF (for thermal imagery and multispectral imagery...
Luminescence data for: Springtime Formation of Laminated Soil Carbonate Rinds and Changes in Fluvial Terrace Soils on Orbital Timescales at Rio Mesa, Utah, USA Luminescence data for: Springtime Formation of Laminated Soil Carbonate Rinds and Changes in Fluvial Terrace Soils on Orbital Timescales at Rio Mesa, Utah, USA
Laminated soil carbonate rinds are a Quaternary paleoclimate archive whose isotope composition is linked to soil formation conditions. At Rio Mesa, Utah (USA), we investigated the fidelity of rind records in a river terrace setting by determining the seasonal timing of rind formation and testing for inter-record replication. We infer soil carbonate formed in the spring season...
Red Spruce-Northern Hardwood Ecotone Forest Measurements in the Central Appalachian Mountains Red Spruce-Northern Hardwood Ecotone Forest Measurements in the Central Appalachian Mountains
This dataset contains long-term measurements of red spruce-northern hardwood ecotone forests in the central Appalachian Mountains. To evaluate long-term dynamics in unmanaged red spruce–northern hardwood forests, ten ecotone transects were installed in 1992-1994 across the central Appalachians. The ten ecotone transects were remeasured in 2003-2005 and 2023-2025 to assess post...
