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.

Rainfall, Video, and Geophone Data from the Hermit's Peak/ Calf Canyon Fire Burn Area, New Mexico, June 2022 to June 2024 Rainfall, Video, and Geophone Data from the Hermit's Peak/ Calf Canyon Fire Burn Area, New Mexico, June 2022 to June 2024
Precipitation, volumetric soil-water content, videos, and geophone data characterizing postfire debris flows were collected at the 2022 Hermit’s Peak Calf-Canyon Fire in New Mexico. This dataset contains data from June 22, 2022, to June 26, 2024. The data were obtained from a station located at 35° 42’ 28.86” N, 105° 27’ 18.03” W (geographic coordinate system). Each data type is...
Rainfall, Volumetric soil-water content, Video, and Geophone Data from the Calwood Fire Burn Area, Colorado, April 2021 to November 2023 Rainfall, Volumetric soil-water content, Video, and Geophone Data from the Calwood Fire Burn Area, Colorado, April 2021 to November 2023
Rainfall, volumetric soil-water content, video, and geophone data characterizing postfire rainfall and runoff were collected at two stations in the 2020 Calwood Fire Burn Area in Colorado. This release contains data from stations at two sites named Heil Ranch (40° 8' 43.47" N, 105° 20' 26.352" W) and Calwood (40° 9' 4.76" N, 105° 21' 20.79" W). The data presented here were collected from...
Lunar Grid Reference System (LGRS) Terrestrial Navigational Training Grids in Artemis Condensed Coordinate (ACC) Format Lunar Grid Reference System (LGRS) Terrestrial Navigational Training Grids in Artemis Condensed Coordinate (ACC) Format
USGS is assessing the feasibility of map projections and grid systems for lunar surface operations. We propose developing a new Lunar Transverse Mercator (LTM), the Lunar Polar Stereographic (LPS), and the Lunar Grid Reference Systems (LGRS). We have also designed additional grids to meet NASA requirements for astronaut navigation, referred to as LGRS in Artemis Condensed Coordinates...
Comparison of Acoustic Recorders and Field Observers for Monitoring Tundra Bird Communities in Northwestern Alaska Comparison of Acoustic Recorders and Field Observers for Monitoring Tundra Bird Communities in Northwestern Alaska
Acoustic recorders can detect the presence of birds and these detections may be used for the purpose of population abundance or estimation. This monitoring project compared the abundance of tundra-breeding birds detected through both acoustic monitoring and observational surveys. The data package is comprised of four tables: (1) habitat type, including vegetation height at sites where...
Compilation of multi-agency water temperature observations for U.S. streams, 1894-2022 Compilation of multi-agency water temperature observations for U.S. streams, 1894-2022
This data release collates stream water temperature observations from across the United States from four data sources: The U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System (NWIS), Water Quality Portal (WQP), Spatial Hydro-Ecological Decision Systems temperature database (EcoSHEDS), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's NorWeST stream temperature database. These data were compiled...
Mid-Holocene-to-present Modeled (ca., 7,000 to 100 cal. BP) and Reconstructed (ca., 5,900 to 5,436 cal. BP) Temperature for the High-Elevations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: Derived from a Transient Climate Model and Whitebark Pine Tree-rings Mid-Holocene-to-present Modeled (ca., 7,000 to 100 cal. BP) and Reconstructed (ca., 5,900 to 5,436 cal. BP) Temperature for the High-Elevations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: Derived from a Transient Climate Model and Whitebark Pine Tree-rings
In the Rocky Mountains of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (United States), recent melting at a high-elevation (3,091 m asl) ice patch exposed a mature stand of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) trees located ~180 m above modern treeline dating to the mid-Holocene (c. 5,900-5,436 cal y BP +- 51 y). From this subfossil wood record, we contextualize the recent magnitude of warming...
