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.

East Sabine Lake Hydrologic Restoration (CS-32): 2021 land-water classification East Sabine Lake Hydrologic Restoration (CS-32): 2021 land-water classification
The Louisiana State Legislature created Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to...
Precipitation, river surface velocity, and river stage measurements within the Spring Creek Burn Scar, Colorado, USA, during select storms in 2019 and 2021 Precipitation, river surface velocity, and river stage measurements within the Spring Creek Burn Scar, Colorado, USA, during select storms in 2019 and 2021
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) installed and operated several flood and debris flow warning gages within or downstream from the Spring Creek burn scar, Colorado, U.S.A. The warning gages were operated during several years post fire (2019-21) in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The USGS warning gages were part of a larger post-wildfire...
Streambank vertical temperature profile data collected along tributaries to Farmington River, CT, USA in 2021 Streambank vertical temperature profile data collected along tributaries to Farmington River, CT, USA in 2021
Groundwater is often supersaturated in greenhouse gases (GHGs; i.e. CO2, CH4, N2O) and delivers these gasses to stream channels where they are either emitted, consumed, or transported downstream. However, areas of relatively spatially-focused (‘preferential’) groundwater discharge may also be located above the waterline and be immediate sources of GHGs to the atmosphere before moving...
Island of Hawai‘i, ‘Io (Hawaiian hawk) GPS tracking locations, 2019-2020 Island of Hawai‘i, ‘Io (Hawaiian hawk) GPS tracking locations, 2019-2020
We tracked the movement of 15 ‘Io, or Hawaiian Hawks (Buteo solitarius) from 2019-2021. Individuals were tracked for up to 18 months across a diverse landscape on the eastern side of the Island of Hawai'i. GPS-GSM (global positioning system location with global system of mobile communications) tracking tags were placed on each bird, with locations obtained every 1 hour during diurnal...
Percent Shrub Cover for the Desatoya Mountains, Nevada, Derived from Worldview-2 and UAS Imagery (2018) Percent Shrub Cover for the Desatoya Mountains, Nevada, Derived from Worldview-2 and UAS Imagery (2018)
Accurate maps of habitat availability for Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) across broad extents are of paramount importance to conservation efforts in sagebrush ecosystems across the Great Basin, particularly for habitat assessments and mitigation efforts. However, the ability to model sage-grouse habitat at fine spatial scales necessary for microhabitat assessment is...
Emergence of Climate Change Signals for Ecologically-Relevant Climate Variables Emergence of Climate Change Signals for Ecologically-Relevant Climate Variables
Species are expected to shift their distributions to higher latitudes, greater elevations, and deeper depths in response to climate change, reflecting an underlying hypothesis that species will move to cooler locations. However, species response to climate change is poorly understood and species range shifts may be related to climate change exposure. This project was designed to find...
