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.

Chirp Sub-Bottom Profile Geophysical Data Collected in 2024 From Wallops Island and Assawoman Island, Virginia Chirp Sub-Bottom Profile Geophysical Data Collected in 2024 From Wallops Island and Assawoman Island, Virginia
As part of the Interconnected Coastal Environments at Decadal Timescales and Coastal Sediment Availability and Flux projects, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted a nearshore geophysical survey to map the shoreface and characterize stratigraphy near Wallops and Assawoman Islands, Virginia (VA). The purpose of this...
Radar-determined locations of flying animals along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, 2023 and 2024 Radar-determined locations of flying animals along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, 2023 and 2024
A pair of modified marine radars were deployed at two locations, the Clark's Fork Fish Hatchery (near Powell, Wyoming) and the Timber Creek Ranger Station (near Meeteetse, Wyoming), during the summer of 2023 and 2024. The radars collected data on flying animals with a focus on army cutworm (Euxoa auxiliaris) moths within a couple kilometers of the radars during most of the army cutworm...
Building a bioenergetics model for landbird conservation in the northern Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) region: energy supply, bird energy demand, and surplus/deficit maps Building a bioenergetics model for landbird conservation in the northern Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) region: energy supply, bird energy demand, and surplus/deficit maps
The majority of landbirds breeding in eastern North America migrate through the Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico; hereafter Gulf) region during spring and fall. Rarely do migratory landbirds make nonstop flights between breeding and non-breeding areas, rather they stopover in habitats (a.k.a. stopover sites) en route to rest and refuel. Forested habitats in the northern Gulf region...
Passive integrated transponder tag data from Sawmill River, Catamaran Brook and Shorey Brook Passive integrated transponder tag data from Sawmill River, Catamaran Brook and Shorey Brook
The Ecology Section at the USGS Conte Laboratory has conducted individual tagging studies in a number of locations. We provide data here for three smaller studies (Sawmill river in MA, USA, Shorey brook in ME, USA, and Catamaran brook in NB, CA). The goal is to understand the strength and direction of drivers on fish growth, movement and survival in the wild. We hope to provide a...
2023 TX_LowerRioGrande Orthoimagery 2023 TX_LowerRioGrande Orthoimagery
This TX_LowerRioGrande_D22 project called for the planning, acquisition, processing, and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at an aggregate nominal pulse spacing (ANPS) of 0.18 meters (30 ppsm) and 0.35 meters (8ppsm). Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification 2022 Rev A. The data was developed based...

Rapid heating events, such as heatwaves, are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of climate change. Importantly, such extreme weather events can be more important drivers of extirpation and selection than changes in annual or seasonal averages and they pose a particularly large threat to poikilothermic organisms. In this study, we evaluate the thermal stress response of a...
