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.

Collection, analysis, and age-dating of sediment cores from mangrove wetlands in San Juan Bay Estuary, Puerto Rico, 2016 Collection, analysis, and age-dating of sediment cores from mangrove wetlands in San Juan Bay Estuary, Puerto Rico, 2016
The San Juan Bay Estuary, Puerto Rico, contains mangrove forests that store significant amounts of organic carbon in soils and biomass. There is a strong urbanization gradient across the estuary, from the highly urbanized and clogged Caño Martin Peña in the western part of the estuary, a series of lagoons in the center of the estuary, and a tropical forest reserve (Piñones) in the...
Hepatic Transcriptome of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) Exposed to 17B.-Trenbolone Hepatic Transcriptome of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) Exposed to 17B.-Trenbolone
The files in this data release are RNA seq datafiles from a study that examined the effects of the synthetic anabolic steroid 17B. hydroxyestra 4,9,11 trien-3-one, trenbolone (17B.T - CAS 10161-33-8), a common contaminant of wastes from confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) were exposed in the egg and through feed to multiple doses of 17βT and...
Feral horse tail tag deployment and retention data at Conger and Frisco Herd Management Areas, Utah, 2016-2020 Feral horse tail tag deployment and retention data at Conger and Frisco Herd Management Areas, Utah, 2016-2020
These data show details of time taken to fit tail tags on horses at Herd Management Areas in Utah and Nevada. We provide the time of day that individuals entered and exited a squeeze chute and the resulting duration of time they were in the squeeze to have the tag affixed (among other things) at BLM facilities, as well as the sex and age of the individual, and dates that tail tags were...
Data release for tracking rates of post-fire conifer regeneration distinct from deciduous vegetation recovery across the western U.S. Data release for tracking rates of post-fire conifer regeneration distinct from deciduous vegetation recovery across the western U.S.
Post-fire shifts in vegetation composition will have broad ecological impacts. However, information characterizing post-fire recovery patterns and their drivers are lacking over large spatial extents. In this analysis we used Landsat imagery collected when snow cover (SCS) was present, in combination with growing season (GS) imagery, to distinguish evergreen vegetation from deciduous...
Data release for Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment (vol 1), Chapter 7. Future Water Projections for the GYA Data release for Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment (vol 1), Chapter 7. Future Water Projections for the GYA
We apply a monthly water-balance model (MWBM) to simulate components of the water balance for the period 1950-2099 under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 for the Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment. We use the statistically downscaled MACAv2-METDATA temperature and precipitation data from 20 GCMs from the Climate Model Intercomparison Program Phase 5 (CMIP5) as input to the water balance model.
