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.

GIS Data for Geologic Maps of Ravalli Group and other Mesoproterozoic Belt Supergroup Strata Based on Mapping by ASARCO in Northern Idaho and Northwestern Montana GIS Data for Geologic Maps of Ravalli Group and other Mesoproterozoic Belt Supergroup Strata Based on Mapping by ASARCO in Northern Idaho and Northwestern Montana
The data release for geologic maps of Ravalli Group and other Mesoproterozoic Belt Supergroup strata in northern Idaho and northwestern Montana is a digital, Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant version of maps published in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report 2001-438 (Boleneus and others, 2001). The new digital data present attribute tables and geospatial features (points...
Soil data release of U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1590, collected across the Western United States between 1975 and 1983 Soil data release of U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1590, collected across the Western United States between 1975 and 1983
Early studies of soil formation highlighted several key factors that together determine the degree of soil pedogenesis, which include climate, organisms (including vegetation), topography, and parent material (Jenny H.; 1941; Factors of Soil Formation, a System of Quantitative Pedology; https://doi.org/10.2134/agronj1941.00021962003300090016x). A soil chronosequence is defined as a...
Avian disease screening of translocated sage grouse captured in Montana, USA Avian disease screening of translocated sage grouse captured in Montana, USA
The purpose of this project is to determine the infectious status and exposure status of several diseases that have the potential to impact the health of greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) captured in Montana, USA to be translocated to Alberta, Canada. Specific disease status to be tested include, infection with avian influenza virus (AIV), infection with Avian Paramyxovirus...
Climate Impact Meteorological Stations (CLIM-MET) data from Canyonlands National Park, Utah (ver. 2.0, February 2026) Climate Impact Meteorological Stations (CLIM-MET) data from Canyonlands National Park, Utah (ver. 2.0, February 2026)
These CLIM-MET stations are meteorological stations that is designed to function in remote areas for long periods of time without human intervention. These stations measure meteorological and wind-erosion parameters under varying climatic and land-use conditions and can be used to detect and describe ongoing landscape changes. These data represent multiple years of local detailed...
Climate Impact Meteorological Stations (CLIM-MET) data from the Mojave National Preserve, California (2016-2022) Climate Impact Meteorological Stations (CLIM-MET) data from the Mojave National Preserve, California (2016-2022)
These CLIM-MET stations are meteorological/geological stations that is designed to function in remote areas for long periods of time without human intervention. These stations measure meteorological and wind-erosion parameters under varying climatic and land-use conditions to detect and describe ongoing landscape changes. These data represent multiple years of local detailed landscape...
