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.

Generated Burn Severity Offset Correction Values for a Composite Burn Index Field Plot Dataset Generated Burn Severity Offset Correction Values for a Composite Burn Index Field Plot Dataset
Phenological correction of pre- and post-fire imagery is used to improve remotely-sensed burn severity predictions by standardizing vegetation greenness between image pairs. However, the efficacy of existing methods across diverse fire conditions and scenarios remains underexplored. In this study, we evaluated the impact of phenological offset corrections across various methodological...
Development and optimization of species-specific qPCR assays for eDNA detection of the mucket (Ortamannia ligamentina) and spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) mussels’ male mitotype Development and optimization of species-specific qPCR assays for eDNA detection of the mucket (Ortamannia ligamentina) and spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) mussels’ male mitotype
This dataset describes the sensitivity (limit of detection and limit of quantification) and specificity (list of species tested against the assays) of two qPCR assays designed to detect the male mitotype of two freshwater mussel species Ortmanniana ligamentina and Cumberlandia monodonta from water samples (eDNA).
Data associated with characterizing the exposure of the U.S. road network to areas susceptible to landslides, 2023 Data associated with characterizing the exposure of the U.S. road network to areas susceptible to landslides, 2023
Data supporting the journal article titled “Variations in road exposure and traffic volumes in the United States in areas susceptible to landslides.” There have been many efforts in the United States (U.S.) to identify landslide threats for specific roads, but no efforts to examine the entire national road system. We use geospatial tools to estimate the length and percentage of total...
Daily reference and potential evapotranspiration, supporting meteorological data from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, solar insolation data from the GOES satellite, and blue-sky albedo data from the MODIS satellite, Southeastern United S Daily reference and potential evapotranspiration, supporting meteorological data from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, solar insolation data from the GOES satellite, and blue-sky albedo data from the MODIS satellite, Southeastern United S
Potential evapotranspiration (PET) and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at an approximately 1-kilometer spatial grid and daily time-step from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 for Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and parts of Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. PET and ETo were computed from solar radiation, meteorological data (min/max temperature...
Daily reference and potential evapotranspiration, supporting meteorological data from weather stations, solar insolation data from the GOES satellite, and blue-sky albedo data from the MODIS satellite, Florida, 2024 Daily reference and potential evapotranspiration, supporting meteorological data from weather stations, solar insolation data from the GOES satellite, and blue-sky albedo data from the MODIS satellite, Florida, 2024
Potential evapotranspiration (PET) and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at an approximately 2-kilometer (approximately 0.019 degrees longitude and 0.018 degrees latitude) spatial grid and daily time-step from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 for the entire State of Florida. PET and ETo were computed from solar radiation, meteorological data (min/max temperature, min...
Stable oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen isotope analyses of mineral deposits and mineral occurrences Stable oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen isotope analyses of mineral deposits and mineral occurrences
Stable isotope analyses are reported (the ratios deuterium/protium, carbon-13/carbon-12, oxygen-18/oxygen-16, sulfur-34/sulfur-32, nitrogen-15/nitrogen-14) for ores and related rocks, and mineral occurrences in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks from Hicks Dome, Illinois; Clementine copper porphyry prospect, Boulder copper porphyry, and the Elkhorn Mining District, Montana; Pogo...
