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.

Indiana Dunes National Park Volume 1 (2019) Indiana Dunes National Park Volume 1 (2019)
This volume's release consists of 26141 media files captured by autonomous wildlife monitoring devices under the project, Indiana Dunes National Park. The attached files listed below include several CSV files that provide information about the data release. The file, "media.csv" provides the metadata about the media, such as filename and date/time of capture. The actual media files are...
Data Release for Surficial Geology and Quaternary Tectonics of the Madison Valley and Fault Zone, Madison, Gallatin, and Beaverhead Counties, southwest Montana Data Release for Surficial Geology and Quaternary Tectonics of the Madison Valley and Fault Zone, Madison, Gallatin, and Beaverhead Counties, southwest Montana
The NNW-striking Madison fault zone is approximately 95 km in length, lying at the confluence of the northeast Basin and Range province and the Yellowstone tectonic parabola. The fault zone consists primarily of west-dipping normal faults with east-dipping antithetic faults, which create the Madison Valley graben and several northeast-trending intra-basin faults. The Madison fault zone...
Sea Otter Aerial Survey Data from Western Prince William Sound, Alaska, 2022 Sea Otter Aerial Survey Data from Western Prince William Sound, Alaska, 2022
This dataset consists of three tables related to abundance and distribution of northern sea otters (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) in western Prince William Sound, Alaska, based on data collected during a series of population-wide aerial surveys in June 2022. The dataset consists of: (1) sea otter counts along strip transects, (2) sea otter counts in Intensive Search Unit (ISU) within the...
Bedrock geologic map database for the Blanca Peak, Walsenburg, Trinidad, and Alamosa 30' x 60' quadrangles, Colorado Bedrock geologic map database for the Blanca Peak, Walsenburg, Trinidad, and Alamosa 30' x 60' quadrangles, Colorado
This data release presents geologic map data for the bedrock geology of the Blanca Peak, Walsenburg, Trinidad, and Alamosa 30' x 60' quadrangles, Colorado. Geologic mapping incorporates new interpretive contributions and compilation from published geologic map data sources primarily ranging from 1:24,000 to 1:50,000 scale. Much of the geology incorporated from published geologic maps is...
Data Release for Luminescence: OSL Data and Ages in support of the Surficial Geology and Quaternary Fault Map of the Las Vegas Valley, Clark County, Nevada Data Release for Luminescence: OSL Data and Ages in support of the Surficial Geology and Quaternary Fault Map of the Las Vegas Valley, Clark County, Nevada
The data release includes 35 new luminescence ages and 3 new radiocarbon ages. The new age data further brackets the ages of the Las Vegas basin Quaternary stratigraphy and provide new constraints on the timing of Quaternary fault activity.
Grain-size analysis data from sediment samples in support of oceanographic and water-quality measurements in the nearshore zone of Sandy Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, collected in March and April, 2021 Grain-size analysis data from sediment samples in support of oceanographic and water-quality measurements in the nearshore zone of Sandy Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, collected in March and April, 2021
The U.S. Geological Survey Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center collected data to assess cross-shore sediment transport prediction techniques in coastal models for a wave-dominated sandy coast. A quadpod was deployed on the seafloor in the nearshore zone of Sandy Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, MA in March 2021 to analyze water velocities near the seabed and the response of the seabed...
