U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025 Data Release (ver. 2.0, April 2025) U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025 Data Release (ver. 2.0, April 2025)
This database contains the United States salient statistics and world production statistics for over 90 nonfuel mineral commodities. Salient statistics for the United States includes items such as production, imports, exports, price, stocks, apparent consumption, and/or net import reliance for nonfuel mineral commodities. The database contains separate table files (entities) in CSV...
Data to Support Analyses of Shoreline Seasonal Cycles for Beaches of California Data to Support Analyses of Shoreline Seasonal Cycles for Beaches of California
Coastal shorelines commonly have recurring patterns of retreat and recovery that are related to annual patterns in wave climate. To assist with investigations of these seasonal cycles, we have analyzed shoreline position and wave data for the beaches of California to generate a series of metrics that describe the magnitude and timing of seasonal patterns of the shoreline and offshore...
Chemistry data for assessment of the containment pond at Pinyon Plain Mine, 2023-2024 Chemistry data for assessment of the containment pond at Pinyon Plain Mine, 2023-2024
These data are comprised of measurements of elements (e.g., uranium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, etc.), major anions (chloride, nitrite+nitrate as nitrogen, sulfate, etc.), organic carbon, and general water quality parameters measured in Pinyon Plain Mine containment pond water, sediment, vegetation, and aquatic invertebrate samples collected in calendar years 2023 and...
Measurements of vegetation, soil, and disturbance following utility-scale solar energy development in the Mojave Desert, 2021-2023 Measurements of vegetation, soil, and disturbance following utility-scale solar energy development in the Mojave Desert, 2021-2023
These data were compiled to evaluate the impact of a utility-scale solar energy (Gemini Solar + Storage) development on ecosystem function in the Mojave Desert. Objectives of our study were to identify the short-term effects of construction on soils and vegetation across plant communities and soil types. These data represent a before-after control-impact study to evaluate the effects of...
Dissolved methane and CO2 concentrations and stable carbon isotopes from the coastal Arctic landscape of the Greiner Lake watershed, Nunavut, Canada in June 2022 and June-July 2023 Dissolved methane and CO2 concentrations and stable carbon isotopes from the coastal Arctic landscape of the Greiner Lake watershed, Nunavut, Canada in June 2022 and June-July 2023
A watershed in the coastal Canadian Arctic was sampled for dissolved carbon dioxide and methane concentration and stable carbon (carbon-13) isotopes to trace the transport, production, and consumption of carbon dioxide and methane during the spring thaw across a lake to bay transect. Two field campaigns were conducted in June 2022 and June-July 2023 out of the Canadian High Arctic...
Climate Change Vulnerability Index Release 4.0: Excel Workbook Climate Change Vulnerability Index Release 4.0: Excel Workbook
The Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) uses a scoring system that integrates a species’ exposure to projected climate change within an assessment area, including sea level rise, and three sets of factors associated with climate change sensitivity, each supported by published studies: 1) species-specific sensitivity and adaptive capacity factors, 2) threat multipliers such as...
