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.

Data Supporting Mobile Wind Measurements Using a Joust Configured Ultrasonic Anemometer Onboard a Multi-rotor sUAS Data Supporting Mobile Wind Measurements Using a Joust Configured Ultrasonic Anemometer Onboard a Multi-rotor sUAS
These data were collected to investigate how well wind speed and direction can be measured using a miniature sonic anemometer mounted in a joust configuration on a small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS). Test flights occurred at a bog within Interior Alaska that was instrumented with an eddy covariance flux tower. Part of the tower's instrumentation was a highly accurate sonic anemometer...
Sea level rise and Florida’s insular vertebrate biodiversity: predictions of island inundation and the number of coastal species vulnerable to sea level rise Sea level rise and Florida’s insular vertebrate biodiversity: predictions of island inundation and the number of coastal species vulnerable to sea level rise
Data include the proportion of Florida's coastal islands (n = 2504) that are projected to be inundated from sea level rise (SLR), as well as a prediction of the depth of SLR that would inundate each island. Data include the proportion of Florida's islands predicted to still be above water in 2100 that are currently human-modified. Data also include a count of the number of terrestrial...
Data for Investigating the Joint Effect of Changes in Impervious Cover and Climate on Trends in Floods Data for Investigating the Joint Effect of Changes in Impervious Cover and Climate on Trends in Floods
This data release contains data in support of "The Joint Effect of Changes in Impervious Cover and Climate on Trends in Floods: A Comparison of Panel and Single-Station Quantile Regression Approaches" (Over and others, 2025). It contains input and output data used to analyze the effect of impervious cover and climate changes on trends in floods using three regression approaches. The...
Solutions and extended results for laboratory tests used in the development of a large volume concentration method to recover infectious avian influenza virus from the aquatic environment, 2022 Solutions and extended results for laboratory tests used in the development of a large volume concentration method to recover infectious avian influenza virus from the aquatic environment, 2022
Datasets used in developing a large volume concentration method to recover avian influenza. These tables include: (1) Information on the solutions used in tests 1 and 2, (2) field parameter at collection and air temperature data corresponding to periods of raw wetland transport and storage, (3) full results of the laboratory studies, (4) results of the ultrafilter test, and (5) standard...
Inventory of rock avalanches in the central Chugach Mountains, northern Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1984-2024 Inventory of rock avalanches in the central Chugach Mountains, northern Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1984-2024
In the Prince William Sound region of Alaska, recent glacier retreat started in the mid-1800s and began to accelerate in the mid-2000s in response to warming air temperatures (Maraldo and others, 2020). Prince William Sound is surrounded by the Chugach Mountains and has numerous ocean-terminating glaciers, with rapid deglaciation increasingly exposing oversteepened bedrock walls of...
Counts and measurements for specimens of Percina crypta and Percina nigrofasciata (sensu lato) Counts and measurements for specimens of Percina crypta and Percina nigrofasciata (sensu lato)
Counts and measurements were made on specimens of the Halloween darter (Percina crypta) and of the Blackbanded darter (Percina nigrofasciata, sensu lato). Data used in the original description of Percina crypta are included, in addition to counts (and in some cases measurements) for 66 additional Percina nigrofasciata from the Savannah, Altamaha, and upper Chattahoohee river systems, and...
