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.

Bulk Chemistry Data from Alaskan Stoker-Boiler Fly Ash Bulk Chemistry Data from Alaskan Stoker-Boiler Fly Ash
This dataset contains bulk chemical data for fly ash samples from the Atkinson Heat and Power Plant in Fairbanks, AK and National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Materials (SRM) used for quality assurance and quality control.
X-ray Diffraction Results from Alaskan Stoker-Boiler Fly Ash X-ray Diffraction Results from Alaskan Stoker-Boiler Fly Ash
This dataset contains X-ray diffraction (XRD) results for coal samples from the Usibelli Coal Mine and fly ash samples from the Atkinson Heat and Power Plant in Fairbanks, AK. Additionally, X-ray diffraction results from the solid phase residuals of leaching experiments with the same fly ash are reported. The leaching experiments were performed with either 18 mgea-ohm or simulated...
Imagery and meteorological data from April 2021 to December 2021, Grand Falls Dune Field, Arizona Imagery and meteorological data from April 2021 to December 2021, Grand Falls Dune Field, Arizona
Grand Falls dune field (GFDF) is located on the Navajo Nation, ~70 km NE of Flagstaff, AZ. This active dune field displays a range of morphologies, including barchans, smaller dunes, and ripples, and is bimodal in composition. The felsic component is likely derived from the Little Colorado River, and the mafic component (basaltic grains) is locally sourced from nearby cinder cones [1]...
A Lithostratigraphic Analysis of the Meteor Crater Ejecta Blanket: Measurements, Assigned Units, and Unit Thickness (ver. 2.0, December 2025) A Lithostratigraphic Analysis of the Meteor Crater Ejecta Blanket: Measurements, Assigned Units, and Unit Thickness (ver. 2.0, December 2025)
Current models do not sufficiently explain target rock-projectile mixing and ejecta blanket formation for small impact craters (i.e., less than 2km diameter). For example, due to the size of Meteor Crater and the low-velocity at which materials were excavated from the transient crater, the extent of target rock-projectile mixing is expected to be minor. However, based on drilling notes...
Maps of early season invasive grasses and hot spots in the Mojave Ecoregion from 2009-2020 Maps of early season invasive grasses and hot spots in the Mojave Ecoregion from 2009-2020
Maps of invasive annual grasses were created using multi-season Landsat imagery over a 12 years period (2009-2020), and validated using an extensive network of plot data. Annual maps were used to identify persistent and productive populations of invasive annual grass, called hot spots, across entire Mojave Desert ecoregion. The data provided include a 12 band raster geospatial data file...
Geothermal resource favorability: select features and predictions for the western United States curated for DOI 10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102662 Geothermal resource favorability: select features and predictions for the western United States curated for DOI 10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102662
The data contained herein are five input features (i.e., heat flow, distance to the nearest quaternary fault, distance to the nearest quaternary magma body, seismic event density, maximum horizontal stress) and labels (i.e., where known geothermal systems have been identified) from Williams and DeAngelo (2008) and nine favorability maps from Mordensky et al. (2023). The favorability maps...
