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.

Dissolved silicon concentration and yield estimates from streams and rivers in North America and Antarctica,1964-2021 Dissolved silicon concentration and yield estimates from streams and rivers in North America and Antarctica,1964-2021
These data include dissolved silicon concentration and yield from 60 rivers across North America, the Caribbean, and Antarctica from 1964-2021 and are associated with the publication “Long-term change in concentration and yield of riverine dissolved silicon from the poles to the tropics”. Data were compiled from multiple public sources including the Long-term Ecological Research Network...
Data release for Independent age estimates resolve the controversy of ancient human footprints at White Sands Data release for Independent age estimates resolve the controversy of ancient human footprints at White Sands
Human footprints at White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA, reportedly date to between ~23,000 and 21,000 years ago according to radiocarbon dating of seeds from the aquatic plant Ruppia cirrhosa. These ages remain controversial because of potential old carbon reservoir effects that could compromise their accuracy. We present new calibrated 14C ages of terrestrial pollen collected...
ECCOE 2021 Surface Reflectance Validation Dataset ECCOE 2021 Surface Reflectance Validation Dataset
Scientists and engineers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS) Cal/Val Center of Excellence (ECCOE) collected in situ measurements using field spectrometers to support the validation of surface reflectance products derived from Earth observing remote sensing imagery. Data provided in this data release were collected during selected...
Digital database for the geologic map along the southern Bartlett Springs fault zone and adjacent area between Cache Creek and Lake Berryessa, Northern Coast Ranges, California Digital database for the geologic map along the southern Bartlett Springs fault zone and adjacent area between Cache Creek and Lake Berryessa, Northern Coast Ranges, California
This geologic map database is comprised of new geologic mapping, at a 1:24,000 scale, along the southern Bartlett Springs fault in the northern California Coast Ranges. The map covers an area of 258 square miles in Lake, Napa, Colusa, and Yolo counties, work was undertaken between 2016 and 2021, and supported by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Map Program. This geodatabase...
Lunar Orbiter Laster Altimeter (LOLA) RDR Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC) Data Release Lunar Orbiter Laster Altimeter (LOLA) RDR Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC) Data Release
These data are Lunar Orbiter Laster Altimeter (LOLA) Reduced Data Record (RDR) spot observations, released by the LOLA team to the Planetary Data System (PDS) that have been reformatted into the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) LAZ/Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC) file format.
Fluvial Erosion Hazard Geospatial Network from the Marengo River Watershed, Ashland County, Wisconsin (ver. 2.0, February 2026) Fluvial Erosion Hazard Geospatial Network from the Marengo River Watershed, Ashland County, Wisconsin (ver. 2.0, February 2026)
An extreme flood in 2016 caused widespread culvert blockages and road failures across northern Wisconsin, including extensive damage along steep tributaries and ravines in the Marengo River watershed. Along with the flooding, there were fluvial erosion hazards (FEH) associated with a large amount of erosion in headwater areas. Of special concern were FEHs associated with gullying, loss...
