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.

Pathological drivers of coral diseases across the Arabian Peninsula, 2015 to 2018 Pathological drivers of coral diseases across the Arabian Peninsula, 2015 to 2018
Increasing trends of coral mortality is a challenge to coral reef management worldwide, and a need exists to identify the causes and pathways involved. Pathology is useful to help decipher potential causes of mortality in animals, because it illuminates agents associated with lesions and gives insights on the nature of how a host responds to said agents. To better understand the nature...
Geospatial data for impounded sediments in Pahranagat Wash above Arrow Canyon Dam, in northern Moapa Valley, Nevada Geospatial data for impounded sediments in Pahranagat Wash above Arrow Canyon Dam, in northern Moapa Valley, Nevada
This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists of vector and raster geospatial datasets used to determine the volume of sediment in Pahranagat Wash, impounded above Arrow Canyon Dam, in northern Moapa Valley, Nevada. The data release includes: 1) a raster dataset of a 1-meter resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the study area created using a lidar (light detection and ranging)...
Bathymetry, topography, and sediment grain-size data from the Elwha River delta, Washington, July and August, 2023 Bathymetry, topography, and sediment grain-size data from the Elwha River delta, Washington, July and August, 2023
Two dams on the Elwha River, Washington State, USA trapped over 20 million m3 of sediment, reducing downstream sediment fluxes and contributing to erosion of the river's coastal delta. The removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams between 2011 and 2014 induced massive increases in river sediment supply and provided an unprecedented opportunity to examine the response of a delta system...
Radio telemetry tracking data for sagebrush songbird fledglings in Wyoming, between 2021-2023 Radio telemetry tracking data for sagebrush songbird fledglings in Wyoming, between 2021-2023
Sagebrush songbird fledglings (Brewer's sparrow, sagebrush sparrow, and sage thrasher) were measured and tracked using radio telemetry in Pinedale, Wyoming during 2021-2023.
Water, sediment, and rock chemistry data from within and near the Florida River watershed in southern Colorado, April, May, and August–September, 2022 Water, sediment, and rock chemistry data from within and near the Florida River watershed in southern Colorado, April, May, and August–September, 2022
This data release is composed of several datasets that contain water, sediment, and rock chemistry results from samples collected within and near the Florida River watershed in southern Colorado. Samples were collected during three sampling events in April 2022, May 2022, and August–September 2022. The data will aid investigators in understanding the sources and seasonality of aluminum...
Airborne Thermal Infrared and True-color Imagery and Longitudinal Profiles of Stream Temperatures, McKenzie River Basin, Oregon, September 1999 Airborne Thermal Infrared and True-color Imagery and Longitudinal Profiles of Stream Temperatures, McKenzie River Basin, Oregon, September 1999
This dataset includes high-resolution thermal infrared (TIR) and true-color images collected from crewed aircraft and a point shapefile and corresponding comma-delimited tabular data representing the longitudinal spatial patterns of water surface temperature in the surveyed streams in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon. The USDA Forest Service, McKenzie River Ranger District contracted...
