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.

Pygmy rabbit telemetry data 2008-2009 in Utah Pygmy rabbit telemetry data 2008-2009 in Utah
This dataset accompanies manuscripts "Effects of sagebrush treatments on multi-scale resource selection by pygmy rabbits" (https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.51) and "Spatial ecology of refuge selection by an herbivore under risk of predation" (http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/ES11-00247.1). It is a single table that includes telemetry locations for 16 pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis). The...
Sediment and fish data to develop severity of ill effect dose-response models Sediment and fish data to develop severity of ill effect dose-response models
We synthesized existing literature to develop this dataset which relates suspended sediment concentration and exposure duration to biological effects on fishes. Our dataset contains a total of 3,610 dose-response data triplicates consisting of (a) suspended sediment concentration, (b) duration of exposure, and (c) fish severity of ill effects (SEV). There is no original data in the...
Lagrangian water quality monitoring of the Animas River: Data release from a sonde-equipped raft sampling campaign that occurred on the Animas River between Trimble, CO to Farmington, NM in June, 2022 Lagrangian water quality monitoring of the Animas River: Data release from a sonde-equipped raft sampling campaign that occurred on the Animas River between Trimble, CO to Farmington, NM in June, 2022
The purpose of this data release is to provide water quality data that were collected during a raft sampling campaign near USGS streamgage 372728107475701 (Animas River at Bakers Bridge north of Durango, CO) to USGS streamgage 09364500 (Animas River at Farmington, NM) between the dates 06/06/2022 and 06/10/2022. Chemical and physical parameters were collected at 1-minute intervals with...
FLOwPER Database: StreamFLOw PERmanence field observations, Jan 2023 - Dec 2023 FLOwPER Database: StreamFLOw PERmanence field observations, Jan 2023 - Dec 2023
IMPORTANT NOTE: This dataset includes spatial locations where streamflow permanence observations (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) field survey available in the Survey 123 mobile data collection application. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. Field observations in the...
Growth, survival, and tag retention results from PIT tagging Santa Ana Sucker in a mesocosm experiment Growth, survival, and tag retention results from PIT tagging Santa Ana Sucker in a mesocosm experiment
The Santa Ana Sucker (Pantosteus santaanae) is a federally threatened species of ray-finned fishes endemic to the Santa Ana, San Gabriel, and Los Angeles Rivers in southern California. Seasonal limitations on conventional sampling and inconsistencies in survey methodologies have led to an incomplete understanding of Santa Ana Sucker population dynamics. Therefore, alternative sampling...
UAS lidar Digital Terrain Model of a southern subset in Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Park, Texas, March 2024 UAS lidar Digital Terrain Model of a southern subset in Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Park, Texas, March 2024
This is a 4cm resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) raster derived from an Unoccupied Aerial System (UAS; a DJI M600 equipped with a YellowScan Mapper+), lidar collected on March 26, 2024 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Uncrewed Systems Office (NUSO). It covers a southern portion of Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Park in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas.
