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.

Data Examining the Effects of Disturbance Type and Timing, Winter Snow Manipulations, and Plant Functional Traits on Plant Communities Within Restored Temperate Grasslands in Wisconsin from 2017–2023 Data Examining the Effects of Disturbance Type and Timing, Winter Snow Manipulations, and Plant Functional Traits on Plant Communities Within Restored Temperate Grasslands in Wisconsin from 2017–2023
This dataset includes data from a study examining the effects of managed disturbance regimes, winter snow depth manipulations, and plant functional traits on plant communities within restored temperates over a seven-year period. The “Treatments.csv” file details the experimental design, which involved eight blocks, each containing four plots. Each plot was subjected to one of four...
Aerial imagery from the SEABirD (Safe, Efficient, Aerial Bird Detection) Platform collected over the Atlantic Ocean Aerial imagery from the SEABirD (Safe, Efficient, Aerial Bird Detection) Platform collected over the Atlantic Ocean
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) collected aerial imagery over the Atlantic Ocean using the Safe, Efficient, Aerial Bird Detection (SEABirD) platform. These images are taken over the Atlantic Ocean using a seven-camera array optimized for high resolution imagery. Published imagery are 3-band (RGB) 8-bit JPG files and are not georeferenced or orthorectified. Each image contains...
Results from experiments to measure the effect of nutrients on phytoplankton growth and potential toxin production in Kabetogama Lake (Minnesota, USA) during September 2021 and 2022 Results from experiments to measure the effect of nutrients on phytoplankton growth and potential toxin production in Kabetogama Lake (Minnesota, USA) during September 2021 and 2022
We performed short-term lab bioassays with nutrient enrichment on field-collected, naturally occurring phytoplankton communities. Naturally-occurring phytoplankton communities were collected from Kabetogama Lake (Minnesota, USA), which is a large lake located within Voyageurs National Park. Two experiments were performed in 2021 and two in 2022. Phytoplankton were raised in the lab under
Semi-continuous pressure and water quality sensor data from 5 locations in Lower Pool 13 of the Upper Mississippi River from May - September 2024 Semi-continuous pressure and water quality sensor data from 5 locations in Lower Pool 13 of the Upper Mississippi River from May - September 2024
The U.S. Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center collected semi-continuous data from water quality and pressure sensors at four shallow locations in the impounded portion of Pool 13 of the Upper Mississippi River and one location upstream near Savanna, IL between late May and early September 2024. This dataset includes high-frequency conductivity, salinity, total...
Temporal environmental DNA data collected from waters in Florida, Idaho, Montana and Wisconsin in 2022 Temporal environmental DNA data collected from waters in Florida, Idaho, Montana and Wisconsin in 2022
This dataset contains quantitative results of environmental DNA water samples from a diverse set of aquatic habitats, including small creeks in Idaho and Montana, a large river in Wisconsin, and an experimental pond in Florida. The frequency of daily sampling was randomly assigned, without duplication, each week to one of four levels: one survey event per day, two survey events per day...
Sample details and compositional data collected during the 2024 Southwest Rift Zone and middle East Rift Zone eruptions of Kīlauea, Island of Hawaiʻi Sample details and compositional data collected during the 2024 Southwest Rift Zone and middle East Rift Zone eruptions of Kīlauea, Island of Hawaiʻi
Samples for the 2024 Kīlauea eruptions in the Southwest Rift Zone and middle East Rift Zone were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) field teams from within publicly closed areas of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park in cooperation with the National Park Service. This data release presents sample metadata, whole rock ED-XRF, whole rock WD-XRF, whole...
