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.

Lake Erie Pelagic Prey Fish Community Data, 2022-2024 Lake Erie Pelagic Prey Fish Community Data, 2022-2024
Since 2005, the U.S. Geological Survey - Great Lakes Science Center's Lake Erie Biological Station (LEBS) has participated in a collaborative, multiagency effort to assess pelagic prey fish populations in the western (WB), central (CB), and eastern (EB) basins of Lake Erie through a combination of hydroacoustic and midwater trawl sampling. Assessing lake-wide distribution and abundance...
In situ field data, Coastal Alaska, 2023 to 2025 In situ field data, Coastal Alaska, 2023 to 2025
These field data such as first floor elevation and bathymetric surveys were collected to support development of coastal mapping products and advance storm response and recovery in Alaskan coastal communities. The data consists of essential community infrastructure elevation data to better understand flood exposure and support analysis of flood mitigation solutions, bathymetric surveys to...
Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer Seismic Reflection Data Collected Offshore of Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida in 1975: MAFLA 1975 Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer Seismic Reflection Data Collected Offshore of Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida in 1975: MAFLA 1975
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program has actively collected geophysical and sedimentological data in the northern Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) for several decades, including shallow subsurface data in the form of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles (HRSP). Prior to the mid-1990s, most HRSP data were collected in analog format as...
Estimates of Deicing Salt Application across States Encompassing the Delaware River Basin, United States, 2001-2023 Estimates of Deicing Salt Application across States Encompassing the Delaware River Basin, United States, 2001-2023
This data release contains three different estimates of road deicing salt applications, which utilize different sources of deicing salt data, and climate, land cover, and imperviousness data to provide spatially distributed estimates of deicing salt application for states covering the Delaware River Basin from water and calendar years 2001 through 2023 at a 30-meter spatial resolution...
Amplicon sequencing of pollen foraged by multiple bee species in units of the National Park Service, National Capital Region, 2021-2022 Amplicon sequencing of pollen foraged by multiple bee species in units of the National Park Service, National Capital Region, 2021-2022
This study generated genetic 'metabarcode' data using high-throughput sequencing to characterize pollen foraging behavior of pollinating bee species on managed field habitat within units of the National Park Service. Specimens were collected within parks of the National Capital Region from 2021-2023 and subsequently identified to species or genus. DNA was then extracted from specimens...
Amplicon sequencing of pollen foraged by Bombus affinis for compositional analysis, 2021-2023 Amplicon sequencing of pollen foraged by Bombus affinis for compositional analysis, 2021-2023
This study generated genetic 'metabarcode' data using high-throughput sequencing to characterize pollen foraging behavior of the endangered rusty-patched bumblebee, Bombus affinis. Pollen samples were collected primarily from forest meadow habitats in the Appalachian piedmont of the eastern United States, specifically within the states of Virginia and West Virginia. Three additional...
