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.

Water Quality and Habitat Data at Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, 2019-2021 Water Quality and Habitat Data at Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, 2019-2021
This data release includes water quality and habitat data collected at Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge (BSNWR). Monitoring water quality, water-level changes, and bird-use relationships in BSNWR is important to the long-term sustainability of these aquatic resources for use by visitors and aquatic life in these habitats. This data release includes datasets of continuous and...
Historic Water Chemistry Data for Thermal Features, Streams, and Rivers in the Yellowstone National Park Area, 1883-2021 Historic Water Chemistry Data for Thermal Features, Streams, and Rivers in the Yellowstone National Park Area, 1883-2021
Yellowstone National Park (YNP; Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, USA) contains more than 10,000 hydrothermal features, several lakes, and four major watersheds. For more than 140 years, researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey and other scientific institutions have investigated the chemical compositions of hot springs, geysers, fumaroles, mud pots, streams, rivers, and lakes in YNP and...

Bumble bees and flowering plants in Glacier National Park 2023 Bumble bees and flowering plants in Glacier National Park 2023
USGS personnel surveyed bumble bees and flowering plants in and around Glacier National Park during the summer of 2023. These data include 1) a .csv file of all bumble bee - plant interactions observed across surveys and 2) all flowering plants observed in bloom across all surveys.
Code, imagery, and annotations for training a deep learning model to detect wildlife in aerial imagery Code, imagery, and annotations for training a deep learning model to detect wildlife in aerial imagery
There are 3 child zip files included in this data release. 01_Codebase.zip contains a codebase for using deep learning to filter images based on the probability of any bird occurrence. It includes instructions and files necessary for training, validating, and testing a machine learning detection algorithm. 02_Imagery.zip contains imagery that were collected using a Partenavia P68 fixed...
Idealized COAWST model cases for testing sensitivity of sediment transport and marsh accretion to vegetation, wave, and sediment parameters Idealized COAWST model cases for testing sensitivity of sediment transport and marsh accretion to vegetation, wave, and sediment parameters
Marshes may drown if they are unable to accrete sediment at the rate of sea level rise, but predicting the rate of sediment accretion at different marshes is challenging because many processes (e.g. tidal range, wave frequency) and conditions (e.g. available sediment, vegetation density, shape of the marsh edge) impact it. The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST...
