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.

Macrophyte Communities and Environmental Data for the Upper Mississippi River from 1998–2019 Macrophyte Communities and Environmental Data for the Upper Mississippi River from 1998–2019
The data is a compilation of long-term resource monitoring (LTRM) data, hydrology data, and weather data across the Upper Mississippi River, USA. The intent is to better understand the relationships of the macrophyte (aquatic vegetation) community diversity to basic weather/climate, hydrologic, and water quality variables at multiple spatial scales (e.g., plot, aquatic area, stratum, and...
Images of phytoplankton used in the development of a convolutional neural network to automate phytoplankton identification Images of phytoplankton used in the development of a convolutional neural network to automate phytoplankton identification
We collected less than 160,000 images of particles using an imaging flow cytometer (the FlowCam). Images were then identified manually using morphology to the lowest taxonomic resolution possible. Greater than half of those images were either zooplankton, detritus or could not be identified (unknown). These identified images were then used to train and test a convolutional neural network...
ShakeMap Atlas V4 and AtlasCat ShakeMap Atlas V4 and AtlasCat
The Atlas of ShakeMaps (~14,100 earthquakes, 1900-2020) provides a consistent and quantitative description of the distribution of shaking intensity for calibrating earthquake loss estimation methodologies, like those used in the USGS Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER) system. Version 4 of the Atlas includes a vastly expanded compilation of ShakeMaps for...
Landslides with Back-Calculated Strength Parameters, Cosmogenic 10-Be Samples, and Stream Profile Inversion Data, Utuado, Puerto Rico (USA) Landslides with Back-Calculated Strength Parameters, Cosmogenic 10-Be Samples, and Stream Profile Inversion Data, Utuado, Puerto Rico (USA)
This Data Release comprises a lidar-mapped landslide inventory along the Quebrada de Utuado watershed, a tributary to the Rio Viví in the Utuado Municipality of Puerto Rico. The study area watershed is underlain primarily by quartz diorite of the Utuado batholith (Bawiec, 1998) and is part of an area that experienced some of the highest landslide concentrations from 2017 Hurricane Maria...
Daily water surface elevations for mainstem gages along the Upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers Daily water surface elevations for mainstem gages along the Upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers
The hydrologic regime is a fundamental driver of ecosystem patterns and processes in the Upper Mississippi River System. This database represents a comprehensive, searchable dataset of Upper Mississippi River System's hydrologic conditions to support scientific and management applications. It comprises daily water surface elevations from 140 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gaging stations...
Model input and output data supporting modeling the Silver Carp metapopulation connection between the Mississippi and Illinois River Model input and output data supporting modeling the Silver Carp metapopulation connection between the Mississippi and Illinois River
This data release contains input data, estimated demographic parameters, movement probabilities, and simulated population outputs for a Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) metapopulation model. The model explores the importance of the interjurisdictional connection between the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, with a focus on developing strategies to reduce the risk of an invasion...
Influence of Hydraulic Drop on Fishway Entrance Success for American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) Influence of Hydraulic Drop on Fishway Entrance Success for American Shad (Alosa sapidissima)
In this dataset, there are seven csv files that provide the raw fish behavior telemetry data and a single csv file that provides the processed velocity data.
Water budget results for a water availability assessment across the conterminous United States for water years 2000-2020 Water budget results for a water availability assessment across the conterminous United States for water years 2000-2020
This data release contains results from a simple monthly water budget that includes water supply and consumptive use for thermoelectric, irrigation, and public supply for 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUC12) across the conterminous United States for water years 2000-2020. These results were produced using an analysis pipeline that ingests water supply, consumptive use, and routing...
Genomic data from reduced representation DNA sequencing libraries of Atlanticoncha ochracea (tidewater mucket) across U.S. and Canadian locations Genomic data from reduced representation DNA sequencing libraries of Atlanticoncha ochracea (tidewater mucket) across U.S. and Canadian locations
This dataset contains sample information and SNP genotype data generated from ddRAD libraries for the freshwater mussel Atlanticoncha ochracea, collected across its range from Georgia, USA to Nova Scotia, Canada. These data were used to examine patterns of genomic diversity, and population structure. Raw sequence data are archived externally and processed SNP datasets are provided here.
Model inputs for machine learning models forecasting streamflow drought at gaged and ungaged locations across the conterminous United States Model inputs for machine learning models forecasting streamflow drought at gaged and ungaged locations across the conterminous United States
This dataset contains 4,952 feather files with time series of all model inputs for machine learning models predicting streamflow drought across the conterminous United States (CONUS). These data are designed to support both gaged model training and ungaged prediction through the inclusion of WaterWatch gridded runoff estimates. Files contain weekly time series of streamflow percentiles
Magnetotelluric data from northern Harrat Rahat, Saudi Arabia, 2016 Magnetotelluric data from northern Harrat Rahat, Saudi Arabia, 2016
This dataset consists of 122 magnetotelluric (MT) soundings collected in 2016 in the northern Harrat Rahat, located near the holy city of Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah in Saudi Arabia. These data were collected as part of a joint project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Saudi Geological Survey examining the volcanic hazard associated with the harrat. Imaging the 3-D electrical...
Relative surface artificial light at night map under clear skies of Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, Sammamish Slough and the Ship Canal, WA Relative surface artificial light at night map under clear skies of Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, Sammamish Slough and the Ship Canal, WA
This data is a measurement of relative light level along shorelines and pelagic habitat of Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, Sammamish Slough and the Lake Washington Ship Canal. The data was collected at true night (between the end and beginning of astronomical twilight) under clear sky conditions. The light sensor was mounted on the roof or surface of water vessels. Nearshore data and...
