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.

National Mine Waste Inventory National Mine Waste Inventory
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release is a collaborative geospatial database compiled by the USGS and participating State geological surveys, with support from the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) program. The database represents the first phase of cataloging above-ground mine waste features —such as tailings and waste rock piles— that are remnants of historical...
Projected future land change and ecosystem carbon stocks and fluxes for California (ver. 2.0, January 2026) Projected future land change and ecosystem carbon stocks and fluxes for California (ver. 2.0, January 2026)
This dataset consists of annual raster maps of projected future ecosystem carbon stocks and fluxes, land use and land cover (LULC) classes, and LULC transitions for California, U.S. from 2021-2065. Data are simulation model output from the Land Use and Carbon Simulator (LUCAS; Sleeter et al. 2022) run under different future climate and land management scenarios. LUCAS model simulations...
Continuous and High-Resolution Profiles of the Water Surface and Riverbed Elevation for 282 miles of the Colorado River from Lees Ferry to Pearce Ferry, AZ, 2021 - Data Continuous and High-Resolution Profiles of the Water Surface and Riverbed Elevation for 282 miles of the Colorado River from Lees Ferry to Pearce Ferry, AZ, 2021 - Data
During steady releases from Glen Canyon Dam in 2021, geomorphic data were collected for the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park from Lees Ferry to Pearce Ferry. A boat based survey collected position data using Global Navigation Satellite Systems and bathymetry data using a multibeam sonar system. Individual water's edge locations were measured using total stations referenced to...
Raster maps of relative risk of chronic wasting disease transmission based on environmental covariates for the South Converse Mule Deer Herd, Converse County, Wyoming Raster maps of relative risk of chronic wasting disease transmission based on environmental covariates for the South Converse Mule Deer Herd, Converse County, Wyoming
These spatial layers were created to provide estimates of relative risk of a mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) contracting chronic wasting disease (CWD) based on environmental properties of habitat visited by the deer. We modeled relative risk of disease transmission using location data from GPS-collared mule deer in Wyoming that were CWD-tested annually, and used generalized linear models...
Habitat Suitability Maps for Headwater Stream-Associated Torrent Salamanders Habitat Suitability Maps for Headwater Stream-Associated Torrent Salamanders
In the moist, coniferous forests of Oregon and Washington, a dense network of headwater streams supports high levels of amphibian species endemism and diversity, including the torrent salamanders (Rhyacotriton spp.). The Columbia and Cascade torrent salamanders (R. kezeri and R. cascadae, respectively) are species of greatest conservation need, but current information is insufficient for...
Electromagnetic, Seismic, Water Specific Conductance, and Water Depth Data from the Dolores River and Vicinity, Paradox Valley, Colorado, December 2023 Electromagnetic, Seismic, Water Specific Conductance, and Water Depth Data from the Dolores River and Vicinity, Paradox Valley, Colorado, December 2023
This data release contains frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) and passive seismic horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) geophysical data collected over and in the vicinity of the Dolores River in Paradox Valley, Colorado. The data collection area is comprised of an approximate 7-kilometer reach of the river and surrounding 100-meter buffer zone on both banks. Water depth and...
