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.

SARS-CoV-2 and Mpox virus spillback component data (North America, 2022) to create risk assessment of spillback at human-wildlife interface SARS-CoV-2 and Mpox virus spillback component data (North America, 2022) to create risk assessment of spillback at human-wildlife interface
We compiled a data set of species by country metrics related to spillback risk for SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) and Mpox viruses. This included aggregating species level estimates of susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and Mpox infections, species distribution, and county level infection pressure for both viruses.
Bacteria Enumerations from Surface Water and Bed Sediment Collected from a Mudflat in Palo Alto, California, 2021-2024 Bacteria Enumerations from Surface Water and Bed Sediment Collected from a Mudflat in Palo Alto, California, 2021-2024
USGS scientists enumerated bacteria, including bacterial pathogens, from surface water and sand/sediment collected at an intertidal site (mudflat) near the outfall the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP). This site has been monitored for metal concentrations and benthic invertebrate community for the last 30 years. Continued efforts to document changes in pollutant
Model inputs for machine learning models forecasting streamflow drought across the conterminous United States (ver. 2.0, September 2025) Model inputs for machine learning models forecasting streamflow drought across the conterminous United States (ver. 2.0, September 2025)
This dataset contains 3,229 feather files with time series of all model inputs for machine learning models predicting streamflow drought across the conterminous United States (CONUS). Files contain weekly time series of streamflow percentiles, meteorology, snow water equivalent, forecast meteorology, estimated water use, soil moisture, as well as lagged versions of these datasets. Values...
Shear-wave velocity surface seismic site characterization data at 21 sites in Puerto Rico Shear-wave velocity surface seismic site characterization data at 21 sites in Puerto Rico
In collaboration with researchers at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, the U.S. Geological Survey acquired multimethod surface seismic imaging data at 21 sites in Puerto Rico for shear-wave velocity site characterization. These data were collected at both permanent and temporary seismograph stations throughout the island, between March 6 and March 18, 2022. Data were acquired...
Gridded earthquake ground motions for the 2023 ASCE/SEI 41 Standard outside of the conterminous United States Gridded earthquake ground motions for the 2023 ASCE/SEI 41 Standard outside of the conterminous United States
For evaluating and retrofitting existing buildings to resist earthquakes, the 2023 ASCE/SEI 41 Standard provides Basic Safety Earthquake spectral response accelerations at four levels (BSE-1N, BSE-2N, BSE-1E, and BSE-2E). This data release covers BSE-1E and BSE-2E spectral response accelerations for sites outside of the conterminous United States. For sites in the conterminous U.S., BSE...
Pesticide Concentrations Measured in Zooplankton Samples Collected from the Sacramento River, Yolo Bypass, and Cache Slough Region, California, 2024 Pesticide Concentrations Measured in Zooplankton Samples Collected from the Sacramento River, Yolo Bypass, and Cache Slough Region, California, 2024
Zooplankton samples were collected in the summer/fall of 2024 at multiple sites in the Sacramento River, Yolo Bypass, and Cache Slough Region of California and analyzed for a suite of 160 current-use pesticides and pesticide degradates by the U.S. Geological Survey Organic Chemistry Research Laboratory. Samples were collected at two sites in the Bypass, at a comparison site on the...
