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.

Greater sage-grouse genetic data and R code for evaluating conservation translocations in the northwestern United States, 1992–2021 (ver. 1.1, December 2024) Greater sage-grouse genetic data and R code for evaluating conservation translocations in the northwestern United States, 1992–2021 (ver. 1.1, December 2024)
Conservation translocations are a common wildlife management tool that can be difficult to implement and evaluate for effectiveness. Genetic information can provide unique insight regarding local impact of translocations (e.g., presence and retention of introduced genetic variation) and identifying suitable source and recipient populations (e.g., adaptive similarity). We developed two...
Topographic, bathymetric, and ground control data collected at Marconi Beach, Wellfleet, Massachusetts in March and April 2024. Topographic, bathymetric, and ground control data collected at Marconi Beach, Wellfleet, Massachusetts in March and April 2024.
The data in this release re-map the beach and nearshore environment at Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, MA and provide updated environmental context for the 2021 CoastCam installation that looks out at the coast shared by beachgoers, shorebirds, seals, and sharks. This is related to the field activity 2024-016-FA and a collaboration with the National Park Service at Cape Cod National Seashore...

Contractor vertical accuracy checkpoints for 3D Elevation Program digital elevation models in the Northern Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coastal regions, 2012–2020 Contractor vertical accuracy checkpoints for 3D Elevation Program digital elevation models in the Northern Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coastal regions, 2012–2020
Vertical accuracy of elevation data in coastal environments is critical because small variations in elevation can affect an area’s exposure to waves, tides, and storm-related flooding. Elevation data contractors typically quantify the vertical accuracy of digital elevation models (DEMs) developed using light detection and ranging data acquisition on a per-project basis to gauge whether...
Tree Growth at Redwood National Park from 1970 to 2015 Tree Growth at Redwood National Park from 1970 to 2015
This dataset describes tree growth and site characteristics for 26 monitoring plots in 3 sites in Redwood National Park in California, USA. One site (A972) was established and sampled in 2007, 2008, and 2013 (Dagley and others, 2023). Two sites (Holter Ridge and Whiskey 40) were established and sampled in 2009 (van Mantgem and Das, 2014). Six existing plots in the Holter Ridge and...
Estimated crop irrigation water use withdrawals in Prescott Active Management Area Groundwater Basin, Arizona for 2023 Estimated crop irrigation water use withdrawals in Prescott Active Management Area Groundwater Basin, Arizona for 2023
Observations of irrigated agricultural land within the Prescott Active Management Area Groundwater Basin in Arizona. Crops were verified in situ once in 2023 on Sep 13th; based on digitized field boundaries. Field boundaries were digitized from U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Imagery Program County Mosaic 2023 imagery for Arizona and supplemented with the Sentinel2...
