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.

Digital Data of Structural Contours from Previously Published USGS Mississippi Embayment Studies Digital Data of Structural Contours from Previously Published USGS Mississippi Embayment Studies
This digital dataset is a result from the goal within the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program to convert surficial data that were previously published in non-digital format to digital, vector-based data suitable for use by the public and in USGS studies. The objective of the data conversion is to reproduce the original published mapping with...
Estimates of population exposure and evacuation potential for earthquake-related tsunami hazard zones in the United States Estimates of population exposure and evacuation potential for earthquake-related tsunami hazard zones in the United States
These datasets support the conclusions in the journal article entitled "National population exposure and evacuation potential in the United States to earthquake-generated tsunami threats " as described in the abstract below: Previous efforts to characterize tsunami threats to people have focused primarily on individual scenarios in specific areas but have not recognized multiple...
Pedestrian evacuation time maps for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands tsunami-hazard zones Pedestrian evacuation time maps for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands tsunami-hazard zones
The communities of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are threatened by tsunamis. Experts conducted earthquake and tsunami modeling to estimate the extent of tsunami inundation resulting from a Mariana Subduction Zone (MSZ) earthquake. The USGS Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst Tool (PEAT) was run to estimate pedestrian evacuation travel times out of the MSZ tsunami-hazard zone...
Hydroacoustic Data to Support Embayment Monitoring in Long Island Sound, Southport and Saugatuck Embayments, Connecticut, 2022-2024 Hydroacoustic Data to Support Embayment Monitoring in Long Island Sound, Southport and Saugatuck Embayments, Connecticut, 2022-2024
This data release includes hydroacoustic data for the 2022 to 2024 water years at four stations. These stations are part of a discrete and continuous monitoring project in embayments on Long Island Sound to support nutrient management activities in Connecticut. The data were collected by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Connecticut Departments of Energy and...
Data Associated with Beak Deformities in Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), 1992-2024 Data Associated with Beak Deformities in Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), 1992-2024
This dataset consists of three tables with data associated with Red-tailed Hawks exhibiting beak deformities characteristic of avian keratin disorder (AKD). The first is comprised of Red-tailed Hawks collected or captured in the Northwest region of the United States. The second is a compilation of reports from citizen science observers or scientific literature. The third is a poecivirus...
Pedestrian evacuation time maps for Alaska tsunami-hazard zones Pedestrian evacuation time maps for Alaska tsunami-hazard zones
Many coastal communities in Alaska are threatened by tsunamis that could be generated by earthquakes associated with the Aleutian-Alaskan subduction zone (AASZ). Potential tsunami inundation from various AASZ earthquake scenarios has been modeled by others and related tsunami-hazard zones have been published (see supplemental information). We used the USGS Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst...
