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.

Site characteristics: postfire soil hydrologic and biogeochemical response and recovery in northern California, USA Site characteristics: postfire soil hydrologic and biogeochemical response and recovery in northern California, USA
California’s wildfires are setting historic records for length, size, and severity (Safford and others, 2022, Kreider and others, 2024). These wildfires are altering soil processes like infiltration rates and carbon cycling over increasingly large areas (Staley and others, 2017; Kelly and others, 2020; Baur and others, 2024; Dow and others, 2024). In northern California, it is unclear...
Workflow and data supporting ensemble-based history matching and uncertainty quantification for selected watersheds from the National Hydrologic Model Workflow and data supporting ensemble-based history matching and uncertainty quantification for selected watersheds from the National Hydrologic Model
History matching of large hydrologic models is challenging due to data sparsity and non-unique process combinations (and associated parameters) that can produce similar model predictions. We developed an ensemble-based history matching and uncertainty quantification approach using an iterative ensemble smoother (iES) method for three cutouts of the National Hydrologic Model (NHM) and...
Total Applied Surface Water and Groundwater Irrigation Data from Four Areas to Support Analysis for Estimating Irrigation Consumptive Use for the Conterminous United States Total Applied Surface Water and Groundwater Irrigation Data from Four Areas to Support Analysis for Estimating Irrigation Consumptive Use for the Conterminous United States
This digital dataset contains irrigation applications and consumptive use at the agricultural-field scale (average 173 acres) and twelve-digit watershed scale (HUC12) for four regions in the conterminous United States representing calendar years 2000-2020. Agricultural field-scale irrigation depths of applied groundwater and surface water for selected agricultural fields were compiled...
InSAR time-series data of Mauna Loa, Hawai'i from 2015 to 2024 (ver. 1.1, January 2026) InSAR time-series data of Mauna Loa, Hawai'i from 2015 to 2024 (ver. 1.1, January 2026)
This dataset contains InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) time series data of the deformation state of Mauna Loa from 2015 to 2024. There are four total InSAR timeseries: A descending orbital perspective from 2015 to 2022 created using LiCSBAS (HI_filt_des.h5) A ascending orbital persepctive from 2015 to 2022 created using LiCSBAS (HI_filt_asc.h5) A descending orbital...
Hydrogeologic regions of the conterminous United States Hydrogeologic regions of the conterminous United States
This data release contains shapefiles of hydrogeologic regions of the conterminous United States. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is developing a National Extent Hydrogeologic Framework. In support of that effort, principal aquifers (PA) (USGS, 2003) and secondary hydrogeologic regions (SHR) (Belitz and others, 2018a) in the conterminous United States were combined into a...
Digital elevation models, orthophotos, and differencing results to analyze the effect of land cover type on 3D deformation recovery from synthetically deformed high-resolution satellite optical imagery Digital elevation models, orthophotos, and differencing results to analyze the effect of land cover type on 3D deformation recovery from synthetically deformed high-resolution satellite optical imagery
Synthetic earthquake deformation was imposed on high resolution (~0.5 m/pixel)orthoimagery and digital elevation models (DEMs) for two regions of the Garlock fault in the east and west. This repository contains the input and result rasters for the analysis, further described in Hanagan et al. (2025): "Effect of land cover type on 3D deformation recovery from synthetically deformed high...
