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.

National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPRA) Legacy Data Archive: 1944-1982 Exploration and Seismic Data National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPRA) Legacy Data Archive: 1944-1982 Exploration and Seismic Data
The National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPRA) Legacy Data Archive contains geological and geophysical data collected during two extensive exploration programs, operated first by the U.S. Navy (1944-1953) and later by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) (1974-1982). This dataset includes records from 36 test wells, 45 core tests, and over 12,000 line miles of seismic data, along with a wide...
Dataset of Groundwater and Surface Water Data Collection for the Walla Walla Basin in Washington, 2018-2022 Dataset of Groundwater and Surface Water Data Collection for the Walla Walla Basin in Washington, 2018-2022
The semi-arid Walla Walla River Basin (WWRB) spans 1,777 square miles in Washington and Oregon and supports a diverse agricultural region as well as cities and rural communities that are partially reliant on groundwater. Historically, surface-water and groundwater data have been collected in the WWRB by federal, state, local, and tribal governments, irrigation districts, universities...
Specific conductance and other groundwater quality data, Siskiyou Pass area, southwestern Oregon, 2018 to 2021 Specific conductance and other groundwater quality data, Siskiyou Pass area, southwestern Oregon, 2018 to 2021
Specific conductance (SC), estimated chloride (Cl), and other major ion data sets used in an analysis of the extent to which deicer applications affect groundwater quality in the Siskiyou Pass area, southwestern Oregon, 2018 to 2021. The analysis is documented in the following publication: Gingerich, S.B., Wise, D.R., and Stonewall, A.J., 2023, Assessing the effects of chloride deicer...
Sediment Volume and Bedrock of the Similkameen River Above Enloe Dam Near Oroville, Washington Sediment Volume and Bedrock of the Similkameen River Above Enloe Dam Near Oroville, Washington
This data release contains 3-meter gridded rasters of depth to bedrock below bathymetric surface, the thickness of unconsolidated sediment, and the volume of unconsolidated sediment within a 2.6-km reach of the Similkameen River, Okanogan County, Washington, impounded by Enloe Dam. These rasters were calculated from continuous resistivity profiles (CRP) surveyed using a SuperSting R8 8...
Continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) in the Similkameen River above Enloe Dam, Okanogan County, Washington Continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) in the Similkameen River above Enloe Dam, Okanogan County, Washington
A continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) survey was conducted in a 1.2-mile reach of the Similkameen River upstream of Enloe Dam in December 2021 in Washington State. The survey was performed to characterize the resistivity of the water column and subbottom materials using the CRP method. The survey consisted of eight longitudinal profiles roughly equivalent in length and conducted in...
