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.

Coastal Single-beam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2023 from the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana Coastal Single-beam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2023 from the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana
Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted single-beam and multibeam bathymetry (Stalk and others, 2025) surveys around the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, from June 12 to 20 and from July 31 to August 9, 2023, as part of Field Activity Number (FAN) 2023-325-FA. The purpose of data collection was to...
Data supporting nanometer-scale relationships between sedimentary organic matter molecular composition, fluorescence, cathodoluminescence, and reflectance Data supporting nanometer-scale relationships between sedimentary organic matter molecular composition, fluorescence, cathodoluminescence, and reflectance
This data release describes optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy data used to map sedimentary organic matter functional group distributions at 500 nm resolution in a sample from the Lower Cretaceous Sunniland Limestone from the South Florida Basin. Examined fields of view include occurrences of amorphous organic matter (AOM), inertinite, micrinite, solid bitumen...
Dataset of magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements from the Monument dike swarm in Central Oregon, USA Dataset of magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements from the Monument dike swarm in Central Oregon, USA
We measured the magnetic fabric of 205 oriented paleomagnetic specimens, subsampled from 97 samples collected from 15 dikes of the Monument dike swarm. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility is the directionally dependent response of a specimen to an induced magnetization and is a function of the magnetic mineral properties (e.g., size, shape, mineralogy, domain state, orientation). We...
Labeled satellite imagery for training machine learning semantic segmentation models of coastal shorelines Labeled satellite imagery for training machine learning semantic segmentation models of coastal shorelines
A collection of data releases containing labeled satellite imagery for the purpose of training Machine Learning models to automate the task of shoreline extraction from satellite imagery. Shoreline mapping from satellite imagery, known as Satellite-Derived Shorelines or SDS, has the potential to transform coastal shoreline mapping for erosion hazard mapping and coastal resource...

USGS CoastCam at Isla Verde, Puerto Rico: 2022-2023 Calibration Data USGS CoastCam at Isla Verde, Puerto Rico: 2022-2023 Calibration Data
Two digital video cameras were installed at Isla Verde, Puerto Rico (PR); camera 1 faced northeast offshore and camera 2 faced east-northeast along the beach. Every hour during daylight hours, daily starting in August 2022, the cameras collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This data release includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and...
Code to assemble and generate output for an integrated population model of the endangered Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow Code to assemble and generate output for an integrated population model of the endangered Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow
This data release contains the R code to run an integrated population model (IPM) for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow (CSSS; Ammospiza maritima mirabilis), a federally endangered bird endemic to a small part of the Everglades in southern Florida, USA, and provides the parameter estimates from the model. The IPM synthesizes thirty years (1992-2021) of range-wide surveys, mark-resight, and...
Thin section images of hand samples and drill core from mafic to ultramafic rocks (ver 2.0, August 2025) Thin section images of hand samples and drill core from mafic to ultramafic rocks (ver 2.0, August 2025)
These datasets include photographic images of thin sections created from hand samples and drill core collected from mafic to ultramafic rocks from different locations across the U.S., shapefiles representing the locations of the hand samples and/or drill core collars, and images showing examples of the approximate scale on the thin section images. The samples were collected in order to...
Extrapolated Offshore Occupancy Predictions for Three Bat Species Extrapolated Offshore Occupancy Predictions for Three Bat Species
We generated an extrapolated surface of predicted occupancy values offshore for the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), and tri-colored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). Values were generated for each grid cell in the Continental United States (CONUS) Grid-Based Offshore Sampling Frame which extends from coastal areas (i.e., 10 kilometer [km]...
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Effects of Felling and Tarping Trees on ROD Viability and Ambrosia Beetle Activity 2022-2023 Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Effects of Felling and Tarping Trees on ROD Viability and Ambrosia Beetle Activity 2022-2023
Felling and tarping is a common management strategy for ʻōhiʻa lehua trees (Metrosideros polymorpha) infected with rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD) caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia fungal pathogens and spread via ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). In order to understand how tarping may decrease fungal viability or the spread of viable beetle frass, this study...
Island of Hawai'i Ambrosia Beetle Trapping Data and Locations of Suspected Ceratocystis-positive ʻōhiʻa at Two Sites, 2021-2022 Island of Hawai'i Ambrosia Beetle Trapping Data and Locations of Suspected Ceratocystis-positive ʻōhiʻa at Two Sites, 2021-2022
This data release includes data and metadata documenting 1) ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) species caught in multi-panel traps within ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) dominated forests in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park as well as results from culturing Ceratocystis lukuohia or Ceratocystis huliohia, the fungi that cause rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD), from these traps, 2)...
