Data Releases

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units, assessment input data, and resulting fact sheet data tables for the assessment of undiscovered shale-gas resources of the Ordovician Utica Shale of Eastern Canada. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment (NAGA) Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas...

The North American Bird Banding Program (NABBP) is administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL), Eastern Ecological Science Center at the Patuxent Research Refuge (EESC) and in Canada by the Bird Banding Office (BBO), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). This long-term dataset (1960-2026) contains over 87 million bird banding, encounter and...

This dataset provides trap information from two capture efforts targeting invasive Argentine black and white tegus (Salvator merianae) with or without the use of bait baskets in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem of Florida. In the southeastern United States, metal‑mesh bait baskets are used to protect chicken egg lures in traps targeting invasive Argentine black and white tegus (Salvator...

This data release serves as an archive of sediment grain-size data from vibracores collected in October 2023 at Hewes Point in the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana. The vibracores were collected and processed by Coastal Engineering Consultants, Inc. (CEC), Athena Technologies, Inc., and GeoEngineers, Inc. on behalf of the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA...

This report provides in-situ major and trace element glass chemistry for three Alaska volcanic samples: (1) ash of unknown provenance deposited on western Alaska in November 1907, collected in Candle, Alaska, in 1908. The sample was discovered in the USGS Alaska Science Center archives as a covered slide prepared by U.S. Geological Survey geologist Edward Kindle. Ash was released from...

This is a release of data presented in the report "Binational Study of the Transboundary Santa Cruz Aquifer", Callegary and others, 2025 The United States and Mexico share waters in a number of aquifers that cross the international boundary. Both the United States and Mexico recognize that a greater scientific understanding of these aquifer systems and a focus on the sustainability of...

This data release contains time-series data sets from two Next Generation Water Observing Systems (NGWOS) innovation test beds (USGS site numbers 01434498 and 01435000) within the Neversink River watershed, New York. These datasets are organized by station-specific child items which include the following components: Piezometer Records – Continuous measurements of specific conductance...

This dataset includes annualized raster images of stinknet (Oncosiphon pilulifer (L. f.) Källersjö) classification in south central Arizona from 2017 - 2025. The mapped area is comprised of Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima counties. The random forest model was created using 2019 imagery and was applied to imagery in other years. Training location data was created with the aid of National...

This dataset contains observations used to better understand wildlife and domestic livestock use of wildfire sites 2-15 years post-wildfire with different post-fire restoration treatments (post-fire seeding of native or non-native species). Field data come from 9 wildfire sites in the Northern Basin and Range Ecoregion spanning Idaho and Oregon. Vegetation structure and composition...

Here, we present a unique case of an epithelioid mesothelioma with cutaneous metastasis in a Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) from Wisconsin, USA. We performed a gross necropsy, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. Significant gross findings included the absence of subcutaneous, visceral, peri-renal, and visceral adipose stores; subcutaneous edema; ascites; shaggy to nodular...

This dataset consists of digital scans of color infrared aerial photography from the Upper Mississippi River System collected in 1975, orthophotos created from those digital scans, and mosaics of the orthophotos for each navigation pool.

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) surveys were conducted in October 2023 and August 2024 along several miles of the St. Croix River to measure water current velocities. Although ADCP is commonly used to estimate river discharge, these surveys were designed for a different purpose; therefore, USGS ADCP standards were not followed. Instead, we evaluated alternative approaches to...
