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.

Carbon Isotopes, Total Organic Carbon, Programmed Pyrolysis, Volcanic Zircon U-Pb, and Geochemistry Data from the Hue Shale, Arctic Alaska - 2024 Carbon Isotopes, Total Organic Carbon, Programmed Pyrolysis, Volcanic Zircon U-Pb, and Geochemistry Data from the Hue Shale, Arctic Alaska - 2024
This dataset contains results from a stratigraphic section of the Hue Shale located along the Jago River in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge at 69.9099, -143.3947 (WGS84). Sample heights were measured with a tape measure in a continuous succession. Zircon grains from volcanic ashes were analyzed via laser ablation at either the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) or the...
Geospatial database of the 2022 summit and Northeast Rift Zone eruption of Mauna Loa volcano, Hawai'i Geospatial database of the 2022 summit and Northeast Rift Zone eruption of Mauna Loa volcano, Hawai'i
In the late evening of November 27, 2022, an effusive eruption began inside Moku'aweoweo caldera at the summit of Mauna Loa volcano. Within a few hours, lava had covered most of the caldera floor, and several fissures just outside caldera sent short lava flows up to 3 kilometers (2 miles) to the southwest. Later in the morning of November 28, summit effusion ceased and the eruption moved...
Communication Towers across the Greater Sage-Grouse Range (ver. 2.0, February 2026) Communication Towers across the Greater Sage-Grouse Range (ver. 2.0, February 2026)
We compiled and verified a dataset which represents a comprehensive inventory of communication tower infrastructure across the range of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) from 1985 to 2025. Our dataset is an annual spatial time series product that allows users to visualize, assess, and analyze tower locations and duration (i.e., including date of construction through...
GIS Data for Geologic Map of the Bayhorse Area, Central Custer County, Idaho GIS Data for Geologic Map of the Bayhorse Area, Central Custer County, Idaho
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides a digital geospatial database for the geologic map of the Bayhorse area, central Custer County, Idaho (Hobbs and others, 1991). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines, polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS, 2020) and represent the geologic map as published in the USGS Miscellaneous Investigations...
RADSeq Data to assess population structure of Desmophyllum pertusum found along the United States eastern continental margin RADSeq Data to assess population structure of Desmophyllum pertusum found along the United States eastern continental margin
This dataset contains metadata about the origin of the cold-water coral samples that were RAD sequenced and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) generated for population genomic analyses. These data were used to examine patterns of genomic structure of Desmophyllum pertusum from throughout US waters along the eastern continental margin and the Gulf of Mexico. The raw sequence data...
Zanclean Age Benthic Foraminiferal Census and Sedimentologic Data from the Yorktown Formation, Spring Grove, Va Zanclean Age Benthic Foraminiferal Census and Sedimentologic Data from the Yorktown Formation, Spring Grove, Va
Data consist of census counts of Pliocene benthic foraminifera from the Yorktown Formation at Pipsico Boy Scout Camp, Spring Grove, Virginia. Data consist of grain-size distribution by weight in grams of samples collected from the Yorktown Formation exposed in outcrop along the James River at Pipsico Boy Scout Camp, Spring Grove, Virginia. In total, counts of individuals from 15 samples...
