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.

USGS Land Treatment Digital Library Data Release: A centralized archive for land treatment tabular and spatial data (ver. 7.0, September 2024) USGS Land Treatment Digital Library Data Release: A centralized archive for land treatment tabular and spatial data (ver. 7.0, September 2024)
Across the country, public land managers make hundreds of decisions each year that influence landscapes and ecosystems within the lands they manage. Many of these decisions involve vegetation manipulations known as land treatments. Land treatments include activities such as removal or alteration of plant biomass, seeding burned areas, and herbicide applications. Data on these land...
Airborne thermal infrared remote sensing of summer water temperature in the Middle Fork John Day River (Oregon) in 1994-2003 Airborne thermal infrared remote sensing of summer water temperature in the Middle Fork John Day River (Oregon) in 1994-2003
This data release combines seven airborne thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing data sets of stream temperature collected along the mainstem of the Middle Fork John Day River (MFJD) in Oregon from 1994 to 2003. Years 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, and 2002 have single datasets. Year 2003 has two data sets. Most of the TIR data covered the upstream half of the MFJD mainstem between river km 50...
Insect community responses to climate and weather across elevation gradients in the Sagebrush Steppe, eastern Oregon 2012 and 2013 Insect community responses to climate and weather across elevation gradients in the Sagebrush Steppe, eastern Oregon 2012 and 2013
In this study, the U.S. Geological Survey investigated the use of insects as bioindicators of climate change in sagebrush steppe shrublands and grasslands in the Upper Columbia Basin. The research was conducted in the Stinkingwater and Pueblo mountain ranges in eastern Oregon on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. We used a "space-for-time" sampling design that related i...

Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection Collection 1.1 Science Products Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection Collection 1.1 Science Products
LCMAP Science Products are developed by applying time-series modeling to U.S. Landsat Analysis Ready Data (ARD) to detect land surface change. An application of the Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC, Zhu and Woodcock 2014) was developed by the LCMAP Science Team at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Brown et al., 2020). LCMAP Collection v1...
Soil Biogeochemical Data from a Marine Terrace Soil Climo-Chronosequence Comparison Soil Biogeochemical Data from a Marine Terrace Soil Climo-Chronosequence Comparison
The storage and persistence of soil organic matter (SOM) is of critical importance to soil health, and to the terrestrial carbon cycle with implications for long-term climate change. To better understand the spatio-temporal controls on SOM, we have developed a new dataset spanning two previously described marine terrace soil chronosequences from northern, CA, USA: the Santa Cruz and the...
