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.

Model Sensitivity to Sediment Parameters and Bed Composition in Delft3D: Model Output Model Sensitivity to Sediment Parameters and Bed Composition in Delft3D: Model Output
The sensitivity to sediment parameterization and initial bed configuration on sediment transport processes and morphological evolution are assessed through process-based numerical modeling. Six sensitivity cases using a previously validated model for Dauphin Island, (Alabama) were modeled using Delft3D (developed by Deltares) to understand impacts on bed level morphology, barrier island...
Geomorphic assessment at three real-time bridge scour monitoring sites in Idaho, 2020-2021 Geomorphic assessment at three real-time bridge scour monitoring sites in Idaho, 2020-2021
To observe real-time pier scour at three scour-critical sites in Idaho, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Idaho Transportation Department, installed and operated fixed real-time (15-minute interval) bed elevation scour sonar sensors at three bridge locations associated with U.S. Geological Survey streamflow gaging stations for water years 2020 through 2022. Observed pier...
Predicting wildlife distribution patterns in New England USA with expert elicitation techniques Predicting wildlife distribution patterns in New England USA with expert elicitation techniques
Understanding the impacts of landscape change on species distributions can help inform decision-making and conservation planning. Unfortunately, empirical data that span large spatial extents across multiple taxa are limited. In this study, we used expert elicitation techniques to develop species distribution models (SDMs) for harvested wildlife species (n = 10) in the New England region...
Data in support of flow statistics for the Delaware River Basin Data in support of flow statistics for the Delaware River Basin
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates a dense network of streamgages within the Delaware River Basin (DRB) that provides near real-time and daily mean streamflow values, many of which have a decades long period of record. This long-term, historical dataset of daily mean streamflows is crucial for prediction of flows at ungaged stream reaches by means of parameter-based regression...
Datasets to Inform Participatory Engagement to Reduce Communication Gaps in Puerto Rico Datasets to Inform Participatory Engagement to Reduce Communication Gaps in Puerto Rico
As an effort to improve the accessibility of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) resources to communities in Puerto Rico, a research team held a virtual internal meeting amongst USGS colleagues (organized with a professional facilitator) to identify and gather information on existing USGS natural hazards data, knowledge, and tools available for Puerto Rico. As a result, a bilingual website...
USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Norphlet Formation: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Norphlet Formation: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables
This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units, assessment input data, and resulting fact sheet data tables for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in the Norphlet Formation of the Western Gulf Basin Province, U.S. Gulf Coast Region. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project for the...
