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.

Gulf Islands National Seashore 2020 Workshop: Attendee Survey Results Gulf Islands National Seashore 2020 Workshop: Attendee Survey Results
The National Park Service (NPS), in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), recognizes the need to quantify the sediment budget of the barrier islands within the Gulf Islands National Seashore (GINS) to understand the coastal processes affecting island resiliency. To achieve this goal, identifying and quantifying the physical parameters that drive long-term change is...
Ground Penetrating Radar and Global Positioning System Data Collected in 2021 From Fire Island, New York Ground Penetrating Radar and Global Positioning System Data Collected in 2021 From Fire Island, New York
In 2016, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys and sediment sampling at Fire Island, New York to characterize and quantify spatial variability in the subaerial geology (Forde and others, 2018). These surveys, in combination with historical data, allowed for a preliminary reconstruction of the barriers long-term evolution. In 2021, scientists...
Assessing cell line models for species differences in 6PPD-quinone sensitivity Assessing cell line models for species differences in 6PPD-quinone sensitivity
Coho salmon have been shown to be highly sensitive to the tire transformation chemical 6PPD-quinone, with concentrations contained in stormwater sufficient to induce mortality in up to 90% of the entire fall coho run. Other salmonid species (chinook, sockeye, chum) are much less sensitive to 6PPD-quinone induced mortality. This data examines the varying species sensitivities across...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides spatial water-quality data collected from the Caloosahatchee River on June 21-22 and July 20, 2021, south Florida. Geo-referenced measurements of near surface water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, chlorophyll fluorescence, phycocyanin fluorescence, and fluorescence of dissolved organic matter...
Near-Surface Spatial Water-Quality Surveys along the Caloosahatchee River and St. Lucie River in July 2020 and the Caloosahatchee River in September 2020, south Florida Near-Surface Spatial Water-Quality Surveys along the Caloosahatchee River and St. Lucie River in July 2020 and the Caloosahatchee River in September 2020, south Florida
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides spatial water-quality data collected from the Caloosahatchee River and St. Lucie River July 13-15, 2020 and the Caloosahatchee River September 22 and 23 of 2019, south Florida. The St. Lucie portion of the surveys was not able to be completed in September due to boat engine failure. Geo-referenced measurements of near surface water
