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.

Baseline Health Parameter Data from Breeding Pacific (Gavia pacifica) and Red-throated Loons (G. stellata) in Northern Alaska, 2023 Baseline Health Parameter Data from Breeding Pacific (Gavia pacifica) and Red-throated Loons (G. stellata) in Northern Alaska, 2023
These data are in four tables relating to complete blood count (CBC), biochemistry, blood gas analysis, corticosterone, serum protein electrophoresis, and sample attribute data of adult Pacific (Gavia pacifica) and Red-throated Loons (G. stellata) breeding in northern Alaska in 2023.
Survey Results for Temblor Legless Lizards (Anniella alexanderae) in the San Joaquin Valley of California Survey Results for Temblor Legless Lizards (Anniella alexanderae) in the San Joaquin Valley of California
Locations of sites at which U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) biologists surveyed for Temblor legless lizards (Anniella alexanderae) from 2022 to 2025 and the results of those surveys. At the time of the species description, little was known about the distribution of the Temblor legless lizard beyond a few localities. Surveys were designed to gather information on the distribution of Temblor...
Soil Properties of Tidal Marshes Across Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, California Soil Properties of Tidal Marshes Across Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, California
Soil cores were collected across the marshes of Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in California to assess belowground properties and for radioisotope dating. Data from the soil cores include dry bulk density, organic matter proportion, carbon, and accretion rates. These data were then used to calibrate a wetland model (WARMER3) to assess future elevation and...
Data for the Revised Marine Bird Collision and Displacement Vulnerability Index for Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Offshore Wind Energy Development Data for the Revised Marine Bird Collision and Displacement Vulnerability Index for Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Offshore Wind Energy Development
To better inform continued offshore wind energy development in the region, U.S. Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center (USGS-WERC) has updated the database of marine bird vulnerabilities to offshore wind energy infrastructure (OWEI) in the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Region (POCS; waters within the Exclusive Economic Zone off California, Oregon, and Washington). The...
Data Describing Changes in Aboveground Live Tree Carbon With and Without Restoration Treatments in Second-growth Coastal Redwood Forests Data Describing Changes in Aboveground Live Tree Carbon With and Without Restoration Treatments in Second-growth Coastal Redwood Forests
This dataset provides estimates of aboveground forest carbon for all live trees with diameter at breast height at or above 20 centimeters in 151 second-growth forest plots in Redwood National and State Parks. The dataset contains all existing field observations along with projections from the Forest Vegetation Simulator in five year increments from 2024 to 2064.
Expert suggestions for fostering greater habitat model use in public lands management, elicited through surveys and workshops in 2024 Expert suggestions for fostering greater habitat model use in public lands management, elicited through surveys and workshops in 2024
Habitat models can help inform land management, but are not always used where they could be most helpful. In this study, researchers aimed to identify specific actions that could foster greater use of habitat models for managing rare and invasive plants on public lands. The researchers gathered data through surveys and expert elicitation workshops with modelers and model users. One...
