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 to assess silver and bighead carp pool to pool movements from 2012 through 2019 in the Illinois River, USA through Bayesian multistate transition models (ver. 2.0, June 2024) Data to assess silver and bighead carp pool to pool movements from 2012 through 2019 in the Illinois River, USA through Bayesian multistate transition models (ver. 2.0, June 2024)
The dataset and accompanying analysis scripts accompany the article "Bayesian multistate models allow incorporation of spatial dynamics to improve invasive species management". The data are summarized detections from acoustic telemetry receivers (69 KHz) from 353 silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and 170 bighead carp (H. nobilis) surgically implanted with transmitters in the...
Oceanographic, water-quality, bathymetric, and discharge data from Whales Tail Marsh tidal creeks, South San Francisco Bay, California, 2021-2023 Oceanographic, water-quality, bathymetric, and discharge data from Whales Tail Marsh tidal creeks, South San Francisco Bay, California, 2021-2023
The U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center made observations of hydrodynamics, water quality, and sediment transport in Whales Tail South Marsh in the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve in Alameda County, California during summer 2021 and winter 2021-2022. Details on station location, instrumentation, and measured variables are included in the metadata for each...
Datasets documenting late Pleistocene faulting in the Pondosa fault zone, Pit River Region, Northeastern California Datasets documenting late Pleistocene faulting in the Pondosa fault zone, Pit River Region, Northeastern California
These datasets provide bedrock mapping and geochemistry, low-temperature thermochronology, remotely mapped lineaments, field observations of interpreted faults, and structure from motion models in the Pit River Region of northeastern California. The bedrock mapping datasets contain bedding orientations and field rock descriptions and associated geochemistry and 40Ar/39Ar data for a...
Earthquake geology inputs for the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) 2023 (central and eastern United States), version 1.0 Earthquake geology inputs for the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) 2023 (central and eastern United States), version 1.0
This Data Release contains three related databases for the Central and Eastern United States: 1) A fault sections database ("NSHM2023_FaultSections_CEUS_v1"), which depicts the geometry of faults capable of hosting independent earthquakes, 2) A fault zone polygon database ("NSHM2023_FaultPolygons_CEUS_v1"), which depicts the geometry of distributed fault zones capable of hosting repeated...
