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.

Whooping crane use around Air Force Bases in Oklahoma, 2017-2022 Whooping crane use around Air Force Bases in Oklahoma, 2017-2022
The Aransas-Wood Buffalo population of whooping cranes migrates through the U.S. Great Plains twice annually, moving between wintering areas along coastal Texas and summering areas in and around Wood Buffalo National Park, Canada. These birds primarily migrate within a roughly 300-km-wide corridor that spans areas in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and...
Mapping karst groundwater flow paths and delineating recharge areas for springs in the Little Sequatchie and Pryor Cove watersheds, Tennessee Mapping karst groundwater flow paths and delineating recharge areas for springs in the Little Sequatchie and Pryor Cove watersheds, Tennessee
The Little Sequatchie River and Pryor Cove Creek watersheds are located in southern Tennessee and drain the eastern escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau to the Sequatchie River. The Little Sequatchie River has the largest drainage area of any Sequatchie River tributary, with over 130 square miles in the topographic confines of the watershed. The hydrology of both watersheds has been...
Tennessee Karst Groundwater Dye Tracing Water Year 2022 Tennessee Karst Groundwater Dye Tracing Water Year 2022
Karst hydrologic systems are important resources in the state of Tennessee both as drinking water resources and as centers for possible biological diversity. These systems are susceptible to contamination due to the inherent connectivity between surface water and groundwater in karst landscapes. A partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Tennessee Department of...

Isotopic compositions (87Sr/86Sr, 143Nd/144Nd, 176Hf/177Hf, 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb) and major oxide and trace element concentrations of Quaternary basalts, hawaiites, mugearites, benmoreites, and trachytes from northern Harrat Rahat, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
USGS CoastCam at DUNEX: Calibration Data USGS CoastCam at DUNEX: Calibration Data
Two digital video cameras were temporarily installed at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (PINWR) in North Carolina (NC), as part of the DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX). DUNEX was a collaborative community-led experiment that took place in the fall of 2021 along the Outer Banks of NC, with the goal of improving the understanding...
Digital Data for a Three-Dimensional Geologic Map of the San Andreas Fault Zone Between Gold Hill and Pinnacles National Park, California Digital Data for a Three-Dimensional Geologic Map of the San Andreas Fault Zone Between Gold Hill and Pinnacles National Park, California
A three-dimensional geologic map was created by assembling eight geologic cross sections derived from geologic mapping, potential field geophysics, and petroleum well logs. The central feature of the map is the San Andreas Fault, with many other prominent structural features depicted that express the regional transpressional tectonic setting. The subsurface interpretation was based on...
Code for the effect of myiasis on Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) body condition, movement, and habitat use at Camp Edwards Code for the effect of myiasis on Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) body condition, movement, and habitat use at Camp Edwards
This software release contains one R script that reproduces all of the statistical analysis with objectives to (2) determine if myiasis affects Eastern Box Turtle body condition, (3) determine if myiasis affects Eastern Box Turtle shell temperature, (4) determine if myiasis affects Eastern Box Turtle habitat use, and (5) determine if myiasis affected turtles move shorter distances than...
Treeband measurements of Taxodium distichum in coastal Louisiana, USA from August 2004 through April 2016 Treeband measurements of Taxodium distichum in coastal Louisiana, USA from August 2004 through April 2016
To study the long-term effects of hydrology and salinity on the health of these systems, we fitted dendrometer bands on selected trees in permanent forest productivity plots established between 2004 and 2006 within six baldcypress stands. Three of these stands were in freshwater sites permanently or seasonally flooded with low salinity (0.1-1.3 ppt), while the other three are affected by...
The Effects of Flow Extremes on Native and Non-native Stream Fishes in Puerto Rico The Effects of Flow Extremes on Native and Non-native Stream Fishes in Puerto Rico
Globally, freshwater fishes are among the taxa most vulnerable to climate change but are generally understudied in tropical island ecosystems where climate change is predicted to alter the intensity, frequency, and duration of extreme flow events. These changes may impact stream ecosystems and native and non-native biota in complex ways. We compiled an extensive dataset of fish...
Streamflow and total selenium concentration data for six Canadian sites in the Kootenay and Columbia River Basins (2004-2022) and scripts for trend analysis using R–QWTREND Streamflow and total selenium concentration data for six Canadian sites in the Kootenay and Columbia River Basins (2004-2022) and scripts for trend analysis using R–QWTREND
A study to assess the potential for long-range transport of selenium from the Elk River valley (British Columbia, Canada) was completed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) using an analysis of total selenium concentrations and loads at six sites in the Elk, Kootenay, and Columbia Rivers in British Columbia, Canada. This dataset contains discrete total selenium concentration data and...
Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Survey, Colorado Mineral Belt, Southwest Block, 2023 Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Survey, Colorado Mineral Belt, Southwest Block, 2023
This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the southwestern portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt, southwestern Colorado. The Colorado Mineral Belt is a broad, northeast-southwest trending alignment of historic mining districts that have produced multiple types of commodities, including critical...
Demonstration of simulating agricultural water demands using the MODFLOW-OWHM2 Farm Process with an example from Paso Robles Basin Demonstration of simulating agricultural water demands using the MODFLOW-OWHM2 Farm Process with an example from Paso Robles Basin
The Paso Robles groundwater basin (PR) encompasses approximately 500,000 acres and is located in the upper portion of the Salinas River watershed in the San Luis Obispo (SLO) and Monterey counties, Central Coast region of California (.\ancillary\Figures\Figure 1. Site Map.tif from this data release; California Department of Water Resources, 2003). Agriculture makes up a large part of the...
