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.

Dictionary of Microsatellite Loci from the U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center, Molecular Ecology Laboratory Dictionary of Microsatellite Loci from the U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center, Molecular Ecology Laboratory
This data package provides a dictionary of microsatellite locus primers used by the USGS Alaska Science Center, Molecular Ecology Laboratory (MEL). It is a look-up file of microsatellite locus names and citations to the original publication or source where additional information about the locus primers may be found.
Supplementary data in support of oceanographic and water quality times-series measurements made at Thompsons Beach and Stone Harbor, NJ from September 2018 to February 2023 Supplementary data in support of oceanographic and water quality times-series measurements made at Thompsons Beach and Stone Harbor, NJ from September 2018 to February 2023
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy struck the Northeastern US causing devastation among coastal ecosystems. Post-hurricane marsh restoration efforts have included sediment deposition, planting of vegetation, and restoring tidal hydrology. The work presented here is part of a larger project funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) to monitor the post-restoration ecological...
Beach foreshore slope for the West Coast of the United States (ver. 1.1, September 2024) Beach foreshore slope for the West Coast of the United States (ver. 1.1, September 2024)
This data release contains foreshore slopes for primarily open-ocean sandy beaches along the west coast of the United States (California, Oregon and Washington). The slopes were calculated while extracting shoreline position from lidar point cloud data collected between 2002 and 2011. The shoreline positions have been previously published, but the slopes have not. A reference baseline...
Data describing hypoxia vulnerability in the salmon watersheds of Southeast Alaska Data describing hypoxia vulnerability in the salmon watersheds of Southeast Alaska
This .zip file contains five products that will allow users to recreate the analyses and spatial data figures used in Sergeant et al. 2023, Hypoxia Vulnerability in the Salmon Watersheds of Southeast Alaska: 1) Hypoxia vulnerability calculations (.csv file) at water temperature monitoring sites, 2) Hypoxia vulnerability calculations (.csv file) for stream reaches near hatchery release...
Locations of Smith's Longspurs tagged with light-level geolocators in northern Alaska, 2013 and 2014 Locations of Smith's Longspurs tagged with light-level geolocators in northern Alaska, 2013 and 2014
These data are locations derived from light-level geolocators placed on 4 male Smith Longspurs captured on the breeding grounds of northern Alaska in 2013. In addition, we downloaded data from eBird to record where this species was observed through citizen science. Finally, we collected head feathers from birds on the breeding ground of Alaska to determine their isotopic values of...
White-tailed deer from culling efforts in Minnesota White-tailed deer from culling efforts in Minnesota
Dataset containing information for white-tailed deer samples from Minnesota. Samples were genotyped for 11 microsatellites markers and sequenced for a fragment of approx. 546 bp belonging to the mitochondrial control region. Marker OvirQ should not be used as it presents alleles inconsistent with reported pattern, with some alleles separated by only 1 base pair and inconsistent between...
