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 describing the lack of Avian influenza infection and antibodies in Eastern Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) sampled in Delmarva, USA Data describing the lack of Avian influenza infection and antibodies in Eastern Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) sampled in Delmarva, USA
These data describe avian influenza sampling efforts for eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) across the Maryland portion of the Delmarva Peninsula, USA in the winter of 2023-2024
Elevation models, aerial imagery, LiDAR point clouds (LPCs), vegetation survey, and GPS data collected during uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations at Lower Darby Creek, Darby Township, Pennsylvania, August 28 to September 1, 2023 (ver. 1.1, July 202 Elevation models, aerial imagery, LiDAR point clouds (LPCs), vegetation survey, and GPS data collected during uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations at Lower Darby Creek, Darby Township, Pennsylvania, August 28 to September 1, 2023 (ver. 1.1, July 202
Two DJI M600 small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over various locations within the Lower Darby Creek Superfund Site and the adjacent John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Datasets included natural (RGB) color images, multispectral images, and LiDAR Point Clouds (LPCs). These data were processed to produce high resolution digital...
Mercury Concentrations in Seston, Mussels, Water, Sediments, and Preyfish from Lake Huron, 2022 Mercury Concentrations in Seston, Mussels, Water, Sediments, and Preyfish from Lake Huron, 2022
As part of the larger Great Lakes Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative (CSMI) , the U.S. Geological Survey Mercury Research Laboratory (MRL) completed a binational assessment partnering with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), Environmental Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Michigan-DNR (MI-DNR), University of Minnesota-Duluth Natural Resources Research Institute (UM...
Assessing adaptive management to reduce ungulate aggregations: A case study involving the supplemental feeding of elk. Assessing adaptive management to reduce ungulate aggregations: A case study involving the supplemental feeding of elk.
This data release contains summarized elk aggregation metrics generated from Global Positioning System (GPS) collar locations of elk on the National Elk Refuge in Jackson, Wyoming. Aggregation metrics include annual kernel density estimates of the area used by elk on the National Elk Refuge, daily measures of inter-elk distances, daily pairwise proximity, and daily mean proximity and...
Dust mass and horizontal aeolian sediment flux data from a sampler network on the Colorado Plateau, USA Dust mass and horizontal aeolian sediment flux data from a sampler network on the Colorado Plateau, USA
These data were compiled to assess time series data of aeolian sediment collections across varying climates, vegetation cover, and land uses on the Colorado Plateau. The objectives of our study were to interpret aeolian erosion and deposition processes and measure horizontal sediment flux over the span of two decades amid rapidly changing climate conditions and multiple land use changes...
Down Selected Artemis III Candidate Landing Site Navigational Grids Down Selected Artemis III Candidate Landing Site Navigational Grids
USGS is assessing the feasibility of map projections and grid systems for lunar surface operations. We propose developing a new Lunar Transverse Mercator (LTM), the Lunar Polar Stereographic (LPS), and the Lunar Grid Reference Systems (LGRS). We have also designed additional grids designed to NASA requirements for astronaut navigation, referred to as LGRS in Artemis Condensed Coordinates...
