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.

Pre-mining environmental baseline characterization of the Balkhab copper deposit: 2020 field season Pre-mining environmental baseline characterization of the Balkhab copper deposit: 2020 field season
These data include geochemical analyses of rock, mine waste, and water samples collected from the Balkhab copper deposit, Sar-e Pol Province, Afghanistan in 2020.
Western North America terrestrial reptile climate-niche rasters and summary data Western North America terrestrial reptile climate-niche rasters and summary data
This data release supports the referenced publication 'Climate futures for lizards and snakes in western North America may result in new species management issues' in this metadata record. Data included in this release includes raster data outputs and resulting summaries from the analyses, described in the processing steps of this metadata record. In summary this release includes...
Cover, basal diameter, height, and density of deep-rooted perennial grasses, and cover of exotic annual grasses and Poa secunda over the first five years following post-fire drill-seeding on the Soda Wildfire Cover, basal diameter, height, and density of deep-rooted perennial grasses, and cover of exotic annual grasses and Poa secunda over the first five years following post-fire drill-seeding on the Soda Wildfire
Data includes functional group cover of exotic annual grasses, shallow rooted perennial grasses, and cover, basal diameter, height, and density of deep-rooted perennial grasses within the first five years after the 2015 Soda wildfire across post-fire drill-seeding treatments.
Yukon-Tanana Upland airborne magnetic geophysical data merge, version 2025 (ver. 2.0, March 2026) Yukon-Tanana Upland airborne magnetic geophysical data merge, version 2025 (ver. 2.0, March 2026)
The Yukon-Tanana Upland - Kuskokwim airborne magnetic geophysical data merge provides a merged raster grid of magnetic data for the Yukon-Tanana Upland (YTU) into the Kuskokwim Mountains, Alaska. This dataset provides a regionally consistent magnetic grid while retaining as much detail as possible of the originating data by leveling all the region's magnetic grids to one another. This...
Sagebrush recovery projections across the biome, 30 years after two seeding treatment applications, and associated model data (1986-2021) Sagebrush recovery projections across the biome, 30 years after two seeding treatment applications, and associated model data (1986-2021)
This data release contains a formatted dataset compiled from multiple databases on restoration treatments and environmental conditions from across the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) biome. With these data, we modeled the influence of environmental conditions and restoration treatments on trends in sagebrush cover using generalized additive models. We then used these models to create maps of...
Data release associated with research that describes how major flooding and dam operations in the upper Mississippi River contribute to large upstream migrations of native paddlefish and invasive bigheaded carp Data release associated with research that describes how major flooding and dam operations in the upper Mississippi River contribute to large upstream migrations of native paddlefish and invasive bigheaded carp
Recent research has attributed major flood events with the upstream spread of invasive carp in the Mississippi River. In two sequential years, the upper Mississippi River experienced a low water year with very minimal flooding in 2022 and a very high water year with extreme and sustained flooding in the spring of 2023. This data release contains hydrologic data from the U.S. Army Corps...
