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.

Datasets documenting limited evidence of Late Pleistocene tectonic surface deformation in the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, Tennessee, USA Datasets documenting limited evidence of Late Pleistocene tectonic surface deformation in the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, Tennessee, USA
These datasets provide lineament mapping, catchment-averaged metrics of hypsometry and channel steepness, field observations, and a structure from motion model and orthomosiac photograph of sites in the Eastern Tennessee seismic zone in eastern Tennessee, USA. The lineament mapping contains linework of possible neotectonic features mapped from 1-m lidar data. Catchment-averaged metric of
Datasets documenting lineament mapping and neotectonic observations in northern New Mexico Datasets documenting lineament mapping and neotectonic observations in northern New Mexico
These datasets provide remotely mapped lineaments and neotectonic observations in northern New Mexico, based on 1-m lidar and satellite imagery data. Some lineaments are interpreted to be Quaternary-active faults, whereas others are interpreted to be older bedrock faults with no evidence for Quaternary movement. Simplified fault traces for interpreted Quaternary-active faults are...
Datasets documenting neotectonic mapping of Puerto Rico Datasets documenting neotectonic mapping of Puerto Rico
This data release documents neotectonic mapping of fault-related features on high-resolution lidar-derived topography, data documenting an exposure of the South Lajas fault, and summary information for active and potentially active Quaternary faults on the island of Puerto Rico. The data documenting the exposure of the South Lajas fault include detailed unit descriptions, radiocarbon...
Earthquake geology inputs for the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) 2025 (Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands), version 1.0 Earthquake geology inputs for the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) 2025 (Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands), version 1.0
This Data Release contains preliminary versions of three related geologic input databases for the Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI) region (62°–70° W and 16°–21° N) of the United States: 1) A fault sections database (“NSHM2025_FaultSections_PRVI_v1’”), which depicts the geometry of faults capable of hosting independent earthquakes, 2) a fault-zone polygon database ("NSHM2025...
Spatial Data in Support of the Characterization of Water Resources near the Southeastern Part of Puget Sound, Washington Spatial Data in Support of the Characterization of Water Resources near the Southeastern Part of Puget Sound, Washington
The data within this data release presents information used to characterize the groundwater-flow system and the development of a groundwater-flow model in the active model area. Conceptual and numerical models of groundwater flow were developed by the U.S. Geological Survey Washington Water Science Center, in close cooperation with 18 water-resource agencies and stakeholders, to assess...
Hydrodynamic and sediment transport data from two salt marshes and adjacent shallows in Northern San Francisco Bay, California 2022-2023 Hydrodynamic and sediment transport data from two salt marshes and adjacent shallows in Northern San Francisco Bay, California 2022-2023
The U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center collected hydrodynamic and sediment-transport data at shallow subtidal and intertidal sites in Corte Madera Bay and San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge (SPNWF) in San Francisco Bay, CA, as well as on the marsh plain of SPNWF marsh and in a tidal creek and on the marsh plain of Corte Madera Marsh, in 2022 and 2023...
