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.

Habitat and Biological Characterization of Mississippi Alluvial Plain Streams in Mississippi, USA. Habitat and Biological Characterization of Mississippi Alluvial Plain Streams in Mississippi, USA.
Highly altered agricultural watersheds like the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) in Mississippi, USA pose significant challenges for developing biological stressor-response relationships to monitor ecological improvements from best management practices (BMPs). Previous research (Taylor et al., 2023) has indicated that MAP streams have elevated nutrient and ion concentrations as well as...
Threespine Stickleback Trapping Data for Soledad Canyon, Santa Clara River Watershed (2021-2022) Threespine Stickleback Trapping Data for Soledad Canyon, Santa Clara River Watershed (2021-2022)
These data were collected as part of a trapping effort for endangered threespine stickleback in Soledad Canyon, Santa Clara River watershed in California. The two-year survey effort took place in 2021 and 2022. We reported survey reach identities, stream sections, and numbers of fish captured per trapping effort.
Abundance, cover, and root measurements of perennial bunchgrasses in the Owyhee Mountains, USA Abundance, cover, and root measurements of perennial bunchgrasses in the Owyhee Mountains, USA
Invasion of exotic annual grasses (EAG) and increased wildfire have led to an emphasis on managing rangeland plant communities for resistance to invasion and resilience to disturbances. In sagebrush steppe and similar rangelands, perennial bunchgrasses and particularly their roots are hypothesized to be primary contributors to the resistance and resilience. We asked how bunchgrass root...
Monitoring Data to Support the Operation of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019 (ver 2.0, Level 5 rev) Monitoring Data to Support the Operation of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019 (ver 2.0, Level 5 rev)
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitors water surface flow reversals, commercial vessel traffic, and temperature and specific conductance in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago, Illinois. These data are planned to be released on USGS ScienceBase annually. This data release is the summary of all the...
Lithium observations, machine-learning predictions, and mass estimates from the Smackover Formation brines in southern Arkansas Lithium observations, machine-learning predictions, and mass estimates from the Smackover Formation brines in southern Arkansas
Global demand for lithium, the primary component of lithium-ion batteries, greatly exceeds known supplies and this imbalance is expected to increase as the world transitions away from fossil fuel energy sources. The goal of this work was to calculate the total lithium mass in brines of the Reynolds oolite unit of the Smackover Formation in southern Arkansas using predicted lithium...
