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.

Pre- and post-fire modeled vegetation structure products for the Caldor, Cedar Creek, Dixie, KNP, and Muckamuck fires Pre- and post-fire modeled vegetation structure products for the Caldor, Cedar Creek, Dixie, KNP, and Muckamuck fires
Post-fire vegetation status and condition have multiple implications. They are indicative of burn severity and the lasting impacts of fire the land; they also help inform post-fire debris flow modeling and related risk analyses, hydrology and water quality assessments, and vulnerability to invasive species. Monitoring vegetation recovery over time enables continuous re-evaluation of...
Tiltmeter data from Kīlauea stations (ESC, IKI, JKA, KAE, POC, SDH, UWD) from January 1 to June 30, 2025 Tiltmeter data from Kīlauea stations (ESC, IKI, JKA, KAE, POC, SDH, UWD) from January 1 to June 30, 2025
Tiltmeter data from Kīlauea stations (ESC, IKI, JKA, KAE, POC, SDH, UWD) from January 1 to June 30, 2025. These data were collected in 2025 by Andria P. Ellis of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
3-Dimensional Point Clouds, Field Data, and Treelists from Three Montane Landscapes in New Mexico 3-Dimensional Point Clouds, Field Data, and Treelists from Three Montane Landscapes in New Mexico
These data include a collection of 3-dimensional (3D) point clouds from three New Mexico landscapes and associated field-collected validation data accompanying each scan. The data were collected in fall of 2022-2023 across three montane New Mexico landscapes - similar in climate but differing in disturbance histories. Landscapes include a intensely and repeatedly burned shrubfield, a...
Input and output data used to assess the effects of climate on the temporal variability in streamflow and total dissolved solids loads in the Upper Colorado River Basin, water years 1986-2021 Input and output data used to assess the effects of climate on the temporal variability in streamflow and total dissolved solids loads in the Upper Colorado River Basin, water years 1986-2021
This data release contains the input and output used to assess the potential effect of climate on streamflow and salinity (measured as total dissolved solids [TDS]) yields across the Upper Colorado River Basin from water years 1986 to 2021. This analysis included estimation of the spatiotemporal variability in mean annual climatic variables (air temperature, snow water equivalent...
Status and trends in stream temperature, salinity, flow, hydromorphology, and biological assemblages across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Status and trends in stream temperature, salinity, flow, hydromorphology, and biological assemblages across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
The Chesapeake Bay watershed is home to over 18.5 million people and continues to experience rapid population growth. With changes in population and land development, understanding current conditions of streams within the watershed (status), and changes in condition over time (trends) is important for assessing stream health. This data release contains the output files for results of...
Luminescence, charcoal abundance, and radiocarbon data for: Geochronologic data reveal late Pleistocene to Holocene debris-flow history and wildfire association within Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Klamath Mountains, northern California Luminescence, charcoal abundance, and radiocarbon data for: Geochronologic data reveal late Pleistocene to Holocene debris-flow history and wildfire association within Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Klamath Mountains, northern California
This report summarizes the dating results from sedimentary deposits sampled by the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey and analyzed at the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory. Within this report, we detail the luminescence measurement, equivalent dose determination, and dating-related calculations. We recommend that this report be included as the supplementary...
