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.

Compilation of multi-agency water temperature observations for U.S. streams, 1894-2022 Compilation of multi-agency water temperature observations for U.S. streams, 1894-2022
This data release collates stream water temperature observations from across the United States from four data sources: The U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System (NWIS), Water Quality Portal (WQP), Spatial Hydro-Ecological Decision Systems temperature database (EcoSHEDS), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's NorWeST stream temperature database. These data were compiled...
Mid-Holocene-to-present Modeled (ca., 7,000 to 100 cal. BP) and Reconstructed (ca., 5,900 to 5,436 cal. BP) Temperature for the High-Elevations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: Derived from a Transient Climate Model and Whitebark Pine Tree-rings Mid-Holocene-to-present Modeled (ca., 7,000 to 100 cal. BP) and Reconstructed (ca., 5,900 to 5,436 cal. BP) Temperature for the High-Elevations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: Derived from a Transient Climate Model and Whitebark Pine Tree-rings
In the Rocky Mountains of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (United States), recent melting at a high-elevation (3,091 m asl) ice patch exposed a mature stand of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) trees located ~180 m above modern treeline dating to the mid-Holocene (c. 5,900-5,436 cal y BP +- 51 y). From this subfossil wood record, we contextualize the recent magnitude of warming...
Geospatial datasets and hydraulic model for flood-inundation maps for the Cuyahoga River in and near the City of Independence, Ohio Geospatial datasets and hydraulic model for flood-inundation maps for the Cuyahoga River in and near the City of Independence, Ohio
Digital flood-inundation maps for a 9.9-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River near Independence, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Board of Trustees. Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated to the current (rating number 42)...
Geospatial data sets and hydraulic models for the Cuyahoga River near Jaite, Ohio Geospatial data sets and hydraulic models for the Cuyahoga River near Jaite, Ohio
Digital flood-inundation maps for a nearly 6-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Board of Commissioners. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Program website at https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/water...
SNP Genotypes for Chylismia brevipes Sampled in the Mojave Desert, 2016-2019 SNP Genotypes for Chylismia brevipes Sampled in the Mojave Desert, 2016-2019
These data show multilocus genotypes for Chylismia brevipes sampled from natural populations throughout the Mojave Desert of California, Nevada, and Arizona from 2016 to 2019. The data release contains two variant call format (.vcf) files with Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) from single-end Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RADSeq), which differ in the restriction enzyme...
Desert Bighorn Sheep Locations and Associated Home Range Areas across Southern Nevada Desert Bighorn Sheep Locations and Associated Home Range Areas across Southern Nevada
Areas of desert bighorn sheep home ranges from southern Nevada. Home ranges are attributed with average slope, average vector ruggedness measure (VRM), median distance to water, average NDVI, NDVI coefficient of variation, and Palmer's drought severity index (PDSI).
