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.

Data used to determine water volumes and solute discharge from geyser eruptions in the Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, USA Data used to determine water volumes and solute discharge from geyser eruptions in the Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, USA
There are approximately 500 active geysers in Yellowstone National Park, USA, and the geysers in Upper Geyser Basin are some of the most iconic in the world. Between April 11 and 15, 2025, we attempted to quantify the volume of water erupting from several geysers in Upper Geyser Basin including Old Faithful, Beehive, Lion, Castle, Grand, Grotto and Riverside Geysers using a combination...
Predicted Habitat Use for Reintroduced Grizzly Bears in the Transboundary North Cascades Ecosystem Predicted Habitat Use for Reintroduced Grizzly Bears in the Transboundary North Cascades Ecosystem
This data release provides raster datasets of relative predicted habitat use for grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) reintroduced to the transboundary North Cascades Ecosystem (NCE) of Washington State (United States) and British Columbia (Canada). The datasets represent predicted post-release habitat use by a small founding group of translocated grizzly bears during the early stages of...
Maceral reflectance data for a release and recapture analysis of limited carbon mobilization in sediment adjacent to Central Atlantic Magmatic Province Sills, Florida, USA Maceral reflectance data for a release and recapture analysis of limited carbon mobilization in sediment adjacent to Central Atlantic Magmatic Province Sills, Florida, USA
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are associated with dramatic changes to the Earth system; their rapid release of carbon to the surface environment may initiate catastrophic climatic changes that cause mass extinction. This carbon release is often associated with volcanic emissions, yet metamorphic carbon production during LIP events may be substantial. Metamorphic carbon devolatilization...
Organic geochemical and vitrinite reflectance data supporting the thermal and structural reconstruction of an eroded foreland basin: central Appalachian Basin, USA Organic geochemical and vitrinite reflectance data supporting the thermal and structural reconstruction of an eroded foreland basin: central Appalachian Basin, USA
The Appalachian Basin is an archetypal foreland basin system. However, the timing, rates and magnitudes of orogenic loading, fold-thrust belt (FTB) exhumation, and foreland basin burial and exhumation are not well constrained. Here, we present vitrinite reflectance data, alongside organic geochemical screening analysis (programmed pyrolysis and total organic carbon) from a ~350 km...
Population size of horses in five Herd Areas in Nevada, 2022 to 2025 Population size of horses in five Herd Areas in Nevada, 2022 to 2025
This dataset includes population sizes of free-roaming horses (Equus caballus) in Nevada, USA, within specific Herd Areas (HAs), which are Bureau of Land Management (BLM) management units. The management units in this dataset include the following HAs: Applewhite, Delamar Mountains, Meadow Valley Mountains, Clover Mountains and Clover Creek. Data were collected via aerial helicopter...
Integrating updated INHABIT V4, AquaINHABIT V1, and INHABIT Global V1 management summaries Integrating updated INHABIT V4, AquaINHABIT V1, and INHABIT Global V1 management summaries
This dataset contains the potential distribution of 344 invasive plant species across terrestrial and aquatic habitats summarized by management areas of interest. Habitat suitability models were developed for invasive plants species, selected by the Department of Interior, the USDA Forest Service land management agencies and other managers. Models were developed based on the modeling...
