GeoPackage of Seabed Hazards for Offshore Infrastructure, U.S. Atlantic and Pacific Continental Shelves GeoPackage of Seabed Hazards for Offshore Infrastructure, U.S. Atlantic and Pacific Continental Shelves
Energy development is increasing along the Nation’s outer continental shelves. Offshore energy infrastructure, including monopiles for wind turbines, are subject to a variety of shallow hazards such as mobile seabed, shallow gas, glauconite and seismicity. In partnership with the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) inventoried the non...
Habitat suitability and environmental covariates for the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi obscurus) Habitat suitability and environmental covariates for the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi obscurus)
This data release contains the spatial raster outputs from analyses of habitat suitability of the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (NMRR), Crotalus willardi obscurus. This species is one of five recognized of the ridge-nosed rattlesnakes and was federally listed as threatened in 1978 due primarily to perceived threats of over collection and a very narrowly restricted range. This range...
Fine-scale Habitat Environmental Predictor Layers for rare Cacti and Herbaceous Plants in the Arid Southwest Fine-scale Habitat Environmental Predictor Layers for rare Cacti and Herbaceous Plants in the Arid Southwest
This dataset contains raster layers of environmental characteristics used to predict habitat suitability for multiple species of perennial cactus and herbs in the arid southwest. These data were developed from Sentinel-2 imagery, a digital elevation model, and one obtained from the Google Earth Engine data catalog. These datasets can be used to model habitat suitability of species with
Life-stage–specific occupancy, detection, and habitat covariate data for pākuʻikuʻi (Acanthurus achilles) on Hawaiʻi Island reefs (2024) Life-stage–specific occupancy, detection, and habitat covariate data for pākuʻikuʻi (Acanthurus achilles) on Hawaiʻi Island reefs (2024)
This dataset contains life-stage–specific survey, detection, and habitat covariate data for pākuʻikuʻi (Acanthurus achilles) collected on Hawaiʻi Island in 2024. The project supports fisheries management of this declining fish population by modeling occupancy and detection rates of juveniles and adults at over 50 sites around the island as a function of environmental traits...
Field, laboratory, and third-party quality-control data associated with sites and analytes monitored by the USGS National Water Quality Network, October 2022 through September 2024 Field, laboratory, and third-party quality-control data associated with sites and analytes monitored by the USGS National Water Quality Network, October 2022 through September 2024
From October 2022 through September 2024, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Network (NWQN) monitored 110 surface-water river and stream sites and about 700 groundwater wells for a large number of water-quality analytes, for which associated quality-control data and corresponding statistical summaries are included in this data release. The quality-control data—for...
Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey (ALMS) Population Trend Estimates Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey (ALMS) Population Trend Estimates
This data release provides Alaska breeding landbirds population estimates from three hierarchical Bayesian population trend models, following the methods of Handel and Sauer (2017) and Amundson et al. (2014). The three models are: (1) ALMS only - uses point-count data from the Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey (ALMS) off-road points counts in Bird Conservation Regions (BCR) 4...
Compilation of mafic and ultramafic mine waste data in the United States for surface-based CO₂ mineralization resource assessments Compilation of mafic and ultramafic mine waste data in the United States for surface-based CO₂ mineralization resource assessments
This data release is a compilation of information from historically mined sites in the United States that are confirmed or inferred to have generated mafic to ultramafic mine waste. Waste rock and milled tailings from the mining of mafic to ultramafic ores are prospective surface-based feedstocks for CO₂ mineralization given their high specific surface area and CO₂-reactive mineralogy
Spatial data for Burmese pythons tracked in Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve from 2005–2026 Spatial data for Burmese pythons tracked in Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve from 2005–2026
This data release contains Burmese python spatial locations from individuals tracked between 2005 and 2026 in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem.
Estimated low-flow statistics at ungaged stream locations in New Jersey, water year 2025 Estimated low-flow statistics at ungaged stream locations in New Jersey, water year 2025
Estimates of various low-flow statistics were computed at 36 ungaged stream locations throughout New Jersey during the 2025 water year using methods in the published reports, 1) Streamflow characteristics and trends in New Jersey, water years 1897-2003 (Watson and others, 2005) and 2) Implementation of MOVE.1, censored MOVE.1, and piecewise MOVE.1 low-flow regressions with applications...
Structural geology data collected in the South Merrimack quadrangle, New Hampshire Structural geology data collected in the South Merrimack quadrangle, New Hampshire
This data release includes structural geology measurements collected in the South Merrimack quadrangle, New Hampshire. Data were collected between December 2025 and September 2026, in cooperation with the New Hampshire Geological Survey. The quadrangle is underlain by metamorphic and igneous rocks. Structure data includes measurements of fractures at outcrops and roadcuts. The data...
Salt Marsh Bird's-beak and Point Reyes Bird's-beak Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Genotype Data from California, USA and Baja California, MX Salt Marsh Bird's-beak and Point Reyes Bird's-beak Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Genotype Data from California, USA and Baja California, MX
This dataset contains 58 samples from 10 occurrences of Chloropyron maritimum subsp. maritimum (salt marsh bird's-beak), and 2 occurrences of Chloropyron maritimum subsp. palustre (Point Reyes bird's-beak). Genomic markers were generated from ddRAD loci and analyzed using the Stacks v2.68 pipeline. The genotypes for all samples are provided in a VCF file with 18,031 loci . A companion...
Updated model predictions of fish community metrics for nontidal streams in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, USA from 1985 to 2023 Updated model predictions of fish community metrics for nontidal streams in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, USA from 1985 to 2023
This data release contains updated predictions of fish community metrics from Krause and Maloney (2021b) and Maloney et al. (2022). The analysis to produce these predictions follows the same analytical procedure described in Maloney et al. (2022) but at an enhanced spatial (1:24,000 scale) and temporal (annual predictions from 1985 - 2023) resolutions. The fish sampling data used to...
