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.

WREG: Weighted Least Squares Regression for Streamflow Frequency Statistics WREG: Weighted Least Squares Regression for Streamflow Frequency Statistics
Software package to support regression-based regionalization of streamflow frequency statistics that follow a log-Pearson type III distribution.
Sea-floor Sediment Samples, Seabed and Sample Imagery, and CTD Instrument Data Collected on Stellwagen Bank from September 2020 to August 2021 Sea-floor Sediment Samples, Seabed and Sample Imagery, and CTD Instrument Data Collected on Stellwagen Bank from September 2020 to August 2021
These data are a part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. The work was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen...
U.S. Geological Survey simulations of 3D-hydrodynamics in Delaware Bay (2019) to improve understanding of the mechanisms driving salinity intrusion U.S. Geological Survey simulations of 3D-hydrodynamics in Delaware Bay (2019) to improve understanding of the mechanisms driving salinity intrusion
The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST Warner and others, 2019; Warner and others, 2010) model was used to simulate three-dimensional hydrodynamics and waves to study salinity intrusion in the Delaware Bay estuary for 2019. Salinity intrusion in coastal systems is due in part to extreme events like drought or low-pressure storms and longer-term sea level rise...
Topographic, bathymetric, multispectral, vegetation, sediment, and supporting GPS data collected on North Core Banks, Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina in October 2022, U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity 2022-034-FA (ver. 2.0, December 202 Topographic, bathymetric, multispectral, vegetation, sediment, and supporting GPS data collected on North Core Banks, Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina in October 2022, U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity 2022-034-FA (ver. 2.0, December 202
These data map in high detail surficial cross-sections of North Core Banks, a barrier island in Cape Lookout National Seashore, NC, in October 2022. U.S. Geological Survey field efforts are part of an interagency agreement with the National Park Service to monitor the recovery of the island from Hurricanes Florence (2018) and Dorian (2019). Three sites of outwash, overwash, and pond...
Geospatial characterization of salt marshes on the Eastern Shore of Virginia Geospatial characterization of salt marshes on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
This data release contains coastal wetland synthesis products for the Atlantic-facing Eastern Shore of Virginia (the data release for the Chesapeake Bay-facing portion of the Eastern Shore of Virginia is found here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P997EJYB). Metrics for resiliency, including unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), marsh elevation, and tidal range are calculated for smaller units...
The Landsat Collection 2 Burned Area Products for the conterminous United States (ver. 5.0, April 2026) The Landsat Collection 2 Burned Area Products for the conterminous United States (ver. 5.0, April 2026)
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed and implemented an algorithm that identifies burned areas in temporally dense time series of Landsat Analysis Ready Data (ARD) scenes to produce the Landsat Burned Area Products. The algorithm uses predictors derived from individual ARD Landsat scenes, lagged reference conditions, and change metrics between the scene and reference...
