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.

Community level traits of invaded plant communities in the United States Community level traits of invaded plant communities in the United States
Data were compiled from large trait databases for functional above and belowground traits (e.g. specific leaf area, specific root length, etc) of plants in communities across the United States along with information about the degree to which invasive species dominate those communities.
Computational notebook to plot offset measurements along strike-slip faults Computational notebook to plot offset measurements along strike-slip faults
Summary: This computational notebook is intended to visualize any dataset of offset measurements along a fault, including datasets for single or multiple earthquakes. It is used to plot recent, geomorphic, and synthetic offset measurements for the companion manuscript: Limited preservation of strike-slip surface displacement in the geomorphic record by N.G. Reitman, Y. Klinger, R. Briggs...
Detailed Grain-Size Data of Estuarine, Barrier Island, and Shoreface Environments Around Dauphin Island, Alabama, USA Detailed Grain-Size Data of Estuarine, Barrier Island, and Shoreface Environments Around Dauphin Island, Alabama, USA
In 2015, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) conducted sediment sampling surveys on and around the barrier islands of Dauphin Island and Little Dauphin Island, Mobile County, Alabama (AL). The study investigated the surficial sediment surrounding Dauphin Island and surrounding environments to inform sediment transport...
Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain foraminifera: Digitized and updated taxonomy of Thomas G. Gibson’s census data Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain foraminifera: Digitized and updated taxonomy of Thomas G. Gibson’s census data
This foraminiferal census data was originally produced by USGS research Geologist Thomas G. Gibson in the 1960s through the early 2000s. The census data here documents evidence of foraminifer populations found in sediment samples extracted from four cores from the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the Gulf Coastal Plain. These samples represent Pliocene, Middle- Miocene and Paleocene-Eocene...
Potential Corrosivity Scores of Untreated Groundwater in Louisiana Potential Corrosivity Scores of Untreated Groundwater in Louisiana
Four indices—the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), Ryznar Stability Index (RSI), Puckorius Scaling Index (PSI), and the Potential to Promote Galvanic Corrosion (PPGC) — in addition to an analysis which normalized the results from the existing indices, the Combined Index (CI), were used to assess the potential corrosivity of groundwater in Louisiana. The text file 'potential corrosivity...
Magnetotelluric and TEM Data from the Umatilla Indian Reservation Geothermal Resources Assessment: Phase 2, 2020 Magnetotelluric and TEM Data from the Umatilla Indian Reservation Geothermal Resources Assessment: Phase 2, 2020
This data set consists of 19 wideband magnetotelluric (MT) and 23 transient electromagnetic (TEM) soundings collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in June 2020 as part of the Umatilla Indian Reservation Geothermal Resources Assessment: Phase 2 project. Each MT station had 4 components, 2 orthogonal magnetic induction coils and 2 horizontal orthogonal electric dipoles. Data were...
