Data Releases

This data release pertains to a seepage investigation conducted in order to compliment a dye tracing study at Oregon Caves National Monument in Josephine County, Oregon. The seepage dataset includes geospatial files of discharge measurement points and zero-flow observations along with vector lines delineating losing and gaining stream reaches. Hydrologic systems in karst environments...

This data release complements the following publication: D.E. Goldberg and others (2025). Ultralong, supershear rupture of the 2025 Mw 7.7 Mandalay earthquake reveals unaccounted risk. Science 390, 458-462. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.ady3581 It contains the preferred model results published in the manuscript referenced above. It also contains the input data and model parameters...

This data release contains output from a numerical snow simulation for a 166 kilometer (km) × 160 km model domain in the Qashqadaryo region of Uzbekistan. The simulation encompasses key watersheds within the region and uses SnowModel (Liston and Elder, 2006; Liston and others, 2020; Liston, 2020) to estimate the snow water resources and meteorology across the simulation domain. The...

Flynn Creek crater is a ~3.8 km diameter, >200 m deep, flat-floored impact structure that formed ~360 Ma in what is now north-central Tennessee (36°17’ N, 85°40’ W) [1-4]. Between 1967 and 1979, USGS scientist Dr. David Roddy conducted a drilling program at Flynn Creek crater, an invaluable terrestrial analog that can be applied to the field of planetary impact cratering dynamics [5,6]...

As part of an effort by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to better understand topographic and structural conditions that promote slow spreading and sagging of mountain ridges (Varnes and others, 1989), USGS researchers began surveying monitoring points at Bald Eagle ridge in the Sawatch Range of Colorado in 1975 (Radbruch-Hall and others, 1976; Varnes and others, 1990). Bald Eagle ridge...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center deployed a four-legged bottom landing frame (nanopod) containing oceanographic instruments to collect measurements of winter wave conditions directly offshore of Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, MA. Supplementary sediment samples were collected to characterize grain size. Marconi Beach is the site of ongoing...

NOAA’s Assessment Technical Support Unit (TSU) created a suite of temperature and precipitation metrics of extremes and threshold exceedance variables based on the Climate Model Intercomparison Program Phase 6 CMIP6 Localized Constructed Analogs (CMIP6-LOCA2) data set to support the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5). Following the v20240915 revision of the CMIP6-LOCA2...

Bald Eagle ridge, located about 14 km west of Leadville, Colorado, is slowly spreading and sagging, resulting in sackungen that have been monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) since the mid-1970s (for example, Varnes and others, 1989; Varnes and others, 1990; Varnes and others, 2000). The ridge forms the southeastern flank of the glaciated Busk Creek valley and is underlain by

This dataset contains modeled distributions for 20 species under two separate emission scenarios to inform conservation opportunity areas in new Mexico. A main objective of our study was to understand how well the current portfolio of conservation areas (SWAP Conservation Opportunity Areas and Important Plant Areas) in New Mexico would serve as refugia for species at risk with a changing...

In 1976-1983, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducted systematic surveys of forest birds and plant communities on all of the main Hawaiian Islands as part of the Hawaiian Forest Bird Surveys (HFBS; Scott et al. 1986). Results of this monumental effort have guided conservation efforts and provided the basis for many plant and bird recovery plans and land acquisition decisions in...

This dataset describes the total concentration (Microplastics per Liter - MPL) of microplastics in surface water from eighteen distinct inland lakes in Minnesota. It also includes individual microplastic characteristics such as the longest measured dimension, width perpendicular to the longest dimension, color, morphology, length-to-width ratio, and composition. Spatial land use data, U...
