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.

Trout mark-recapture and stream temperature and streamflow data from Duck Creek, Montana Trout mark-recapture and stream temperature and streamflow data from Duck Creek, Montana
The data release includes a fish sampling dataset and a dataset of estimates of stream temperature and discharge. These datasets were created to assess how Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus virginalis bouvieri; formally Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri) responded to interannual changes in stream temperature and discharge and the occurrence of non-native brown trout (Salmo trutta)...
Profiles and properties of Martian gully flows from HiRISE DTMs and orthoimages, 2006-2020 Profiles and properties of Martian gully flows from HiRISE DTMs and orthoimages, 2006-2020
This dataset contains shapefiles that describe topographic long profiles of recent Martian gully flows recording various information about the flow and host gully. Each profile has some or all of the following: a profile of the active flow, a profile of the full gully, the location of the channel mouth, a profile recording different types of activity, a shapefile with locations of...
Temperature Data From Wells in Long Valley Caldera, California, 2018-present Temperature Data From Wells in Long Valley Caldera, California, 2018-present
This data release consists of well temperature logs from Long Valley Caldera, California, which have been measured to characterize the spatial and temporal variations of the subsurface heat flow. Two methods were used to measure temperatures. The first method, a portable hand cranked reel with a platinum resistance thermometer (PRT), with an accuracy and precision of 0.1 degrees Celsius...
Spatial data layers for a site prioritization tool for invasive species Spatial data layers for a site prioritization tool for invasive species
These spatial layers were created to provide estimates of non-native species invasion risk across the contiguous United States based on proximity to human population centers and transportation corridors, and proximity to known locations of non-native species. To calculate the human transport risk layer we estimated the proximity to human population centers, transportation corridors, and...
Data Estimating Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Electric-Resources for the Great Basin, USA Data Estimating Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Electric-Resources for the Great Basin, USA
This data release summarizes and documents the results of computations in support of the enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) fact sheet estimating electric-power resource potential for the Great Basin, USA (Burns and others, 2025b). All computations use the equations and best estimate values of parameters given in Burns and others (2025a). Temperature at each depth from Burns and others...
High spatial resolution sensor-based surface water quality along 540 kilometers of the Illinois Waterway, 2022 and 2023 High spatial resolution sensor-based surface water quality along 540 kilometers of the Illinois Waterway, 2022 and 2023
In support of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) program, water quality data were collected in 2022-2023 in the Illinois River Basin—the third USGS Integrated Water Science (IWS) basin. These data were collected to document spatial heterogeneity in water quality across seasons and hydrologic conditions and to improve predictions of carbon and...

This data release includes digital geographic information system (GIS) data which was extracted from the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1300, volumes 1 and 2. Included are 14 shapefiles comprised of points, lines, and polygons representing the items shown in the page size figures from the reports, and one .lyrx symbology file for use in ArcGIS Pro. Also included are 364...
Geochemistry of drill core and hand samples from the Duluth Complex, Minnesota Geochemistry of drill core and hand samples from the Duluth Complex, Minnesota
This dataset includes geochemical analytical results of rock samples sourced from drill core and hand specimens from the South Kawishiwi, Bald Eagle, Crocodile Lake, Cucumber Lake intrusions, and the Logan Sills, in the Duluth Complex, Minnesota. The dataset includes whole-rock and elemental geochemistry information with analysis methods used and qualifier (filtered) information where...
Peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Wyoming, based on data through water year 2022 (ver. 1.1, July 2025) Peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Wyoming, based on data through water year 2022 (ver. 1.1, July 2025)
The USGS Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center (WY–MT WSC) completed a report (Siefken and others, 2025) documenting methods for peak-flow frequency analysis following implementation of the Bulletin 17C guidelines. This data release, published in cooperation with the Wyoming Water Development Office, presents peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Wyoming, based on data...
Upper Mississippi River native mussel sampling quadrat 10, 100, 500 and 1000-meter radius hydrologically-enforced buffers and associated landscape metric calculations Upper Mississippi River native mussel sampling quadrat 10, 100, 500 and 1000-meter radius hydrologically-enforced buffers and associated landscape metric calculations
A systematic sampling design was developed to sample mussels in Upper Mississippi River navigation pools 3, 5, 6, 8, 13 and 18. Hydrologically-enforced buffers were created at a hierarchy of scales to better determine the extent of influence on mussel population assemblages. Buffers were generated using a radii of 10, 100, 500 and 1,000 meters from the quadrat site point. Several...
Honolulu to Wake Atoll Shipping Container Debris Grow-Out Data, 2020-2021 Honolulu to Wake Atoll Shipping Container Debris Grow-Out Data, 2020-2021
During 2018, USGS staff collected debris from the floors of 30 shipping containers located in Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu and destined for Wake Atoll as part of a study to understand biosecurity risks associated with overseas transport. The debris was sown in grow trays and monitored for plant germination for seven months in 2020-2021. The datasets for this project include: a list of...
Federal and Indian lands oil and gas production, value, and royalties by state, 1954-1980 and prior Federal and Indian lands oil and gas production, value, and royalties by state, 1954-1980 and prior
This data release includes a digitized version of the "Statistics by States, lands, products and years" section of the 1981 edition of the Federal and Indian lands oil and gas production, royalty income, and related statistics publication.
