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.

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) screening of extracted sediments for samples collected for the Sediment-Bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response Strategy pilot study, northeastern United States, 2015 Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) screening of extracted sediments for samples collected for the Sediment-Bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response Strategy pilot study, northeastern United States, 2015
Coastal communities are uniquely vulnerable to sea-level rise and severe storms such as hurricanes. These events enhance the dispersion and concentration of natural and anthropogenic chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms that could adversely affect the health and resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems in subsequent years. The U.S. Geological Survey has developed the Sediment...
Esterase enzyme activity from three waterborne bacterial species exposed to five contaminant compounds found in wastewaters Esterase enzyme activity from three waterborne bacterial species exposed to five contaminant compounds found in wastewaters
To explore the capacity of microbiota to reflect water quality, we advanced methods using flow cytometry for measuring bacterial metabolic activity. After exposure of three bacterial species to five compounds that can be found in watersheds (i.e., an herbicide, a preservative, an antibiotic, and two hormones), flow cytometry methodology was used to measure esterase activity.
Climate Vulnerability Estimates from Correlative Niche Models for Southeastern U.S. Species: A Tool to Support State Wildlife Action Plan Revisions (2025) Climate Vulnerability Estimates from Correlative Niche Models for Southeastern U.S. Species: A Tool to Support State Wildlife Action Plan Revisions (2025)
USGS’s Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville are undertaking research to support southeastern states and partners engaged in the process of preparing revisions of State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs). This effort focuses specifically on integration of climate change into SWAPs. This data product provides a collation of estimates of species
CCVI Estimates Harvested from the Literature Published between 2011 and 2015 for Parts of the Southeast and Northeast United States CCVI Estimates Harvested from the Literature Published between 2011 and 2015 for Parts of the Southeast and Northeast United States
USGS’s Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville have launched a research effort to support southeastern states and other partners engaged in the process of preparing revisions of State Wildlife Action Plans for 2025. Specifically, this effort focuses on supporting attempts to integrate climate change considerations into SWAPs. Different...
Detrital zircon U-Pb data for paleontological localities in the Piceance Creek Basin Detrital zircon U-Pb data for paleontological localities in the Piceance Creek Basin
This data release hosts detrital zircon U-Th-Pb geochronology data that were created to support geologic mapping and research in the context of the Geologic Framework of the Intermountain West Project supported by the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. These data characterize the deposition age and provenance of Cretaceous stratigraphic units exposed in the Piceance Creek...
Groundwater Levels, Precipitation, and Soil Moisture Data from DE 723 Delaware County Observation Well, Delaware County, Pennsylvania (2022-2024) Groundwater Levels, Precipitation, and Soil Moisture Data from DE 723 Delaware County Observation Well, Delaware County, Pennsylvania (2022-2024)
As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) efforts in the Delaware River Basin (DRB), a soil moisture sensing testbed was established at USGS Delaware County Observation Well - DE 723 located in a managed meadow setting in Glen Mills, PA. Traditional in situ soil moisture sensors, a remote sensing cosmic ray neutron sensor (CRNS), and...
