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.

Amino Acid Imprinted Cisco Behavioral Data, 2017-2021 Amino Acid Imprinted Cisco Behavioral Data, 2017-2021
4+ year old cisco (Coregonus artedi) pre-spawn and spawning/near-spawning behavioral data were collected and compiled at the Tunison Laboratory of Aquatic Science in Cortland, NY USA, between August-October 2021 and November-December 2021. Data are comprised of fish reactions in choice flume video data (attractance/avoidance). Cisco were exposed/not exposed to an imprinting chemical...
Satellite-derived shorelines for the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington for the period 1984-2023, obtained using CoastSat Satellite-derived shorelines for the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington for the period 1984-2023, obtained using CoastSat
This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery for two states (Oregon, and Washington) along the U.S. Pacific coast for the time period 1984 to 2023. An open-source toolbox, CoastSat (Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b), was used to classify coastal Landsat imagery and detect shorelines at the sub-pixel scale. Resulting shorelines are presented in...
USGS CoastCam at Dorado, Puerto Rico: 2022-2023 Calibration Data USGS CoastCam at Dorado, Puerto Rico: 2022-2023 Calibration Data
Two digital video cameras were installed at Dorado, Puerto Rico (PR); camera 1 faced west alongshore and camera 2 faced northeast alongshore. Every hour during daylight hours, daily starting in August 2022, the cameras collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This data release includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation...
Data for Reaction Kinetics and Catalytic Effects of Sulfides in Early Mature Hydrocarbon Generation using Hydrous Pyrolysis Data for Reaction Kinetics and Catalytic Effects of Sulfides in Early Mature Hydrocarbon Generation using Hydrous Pyrolysis
This data release supports a study investigating the role of sulfur as a catalyst in thermal reaction kinetics, focusing on the effect of pyritic sulfur on early maturation and consequent hydrocarbon generation. Hydrous pyrolysis experiments were conducted on mixtures of gilsonite and pyrite in varying ratios. Untreated and thermally altered residues were analyzed for solid bitumen...
Total organic carbon and programmed temperature pyrolysis data with calculated thermal maturity parameters for Babouri-Figuil Basin samples Total organic carbon and programmed temperature pyrolysis data with calculated thermal maturity parameters for Babouri-Figuil Basin samples
The West and Central African Rift System (WCARS) refers to the series of Cretaceous rift basins where commercial hydrocarbon accumulations have been discovered. The Babouri-Figuil Basin (BFB) is an area of interest in terms of petroleum prospecting related to the WCARS. Many researchers have identified potential petroleum source rocks in the BFB. However, most of these studies have...
Adaptive capacity of the Northern California/Southern Oregon DPS of Fisher (Pekania pennanti) Adaptive capacity of the Northern California/Southern Oregon DPS of Fisher (Pekania pennanti)
An assessment of the adaptive capacity of the NCSO Fisher (Pekania pennanti) that uses 37 factors, grouped by related characteristics: distribution, movement, evolutionary potential, ecological role, abiotic niche, life history, and demography. For each factor, species can be evaluated on a simple “low–moderate–high” scale, with criteria designed to accommodate either quantitative or...
