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.

Historic Water Chemistry Data for Thermal Features, Streams, and Rivers in the Yellowstone National Park Area, 1883-2021 Historic Water Chemistry Data for Thermal Features, Streams, and Rivers in the Yellowstone National Park Area, 1883-2021
Yellowstone National Park (YNP; Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, USA) contains more than 10,000 hydrothermal features, several lakes, and four major watersheds. For more than 140 years, researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey and other scientific institutions have investigated the chemical compositions of hot springs, geysers, fumaroles, mud pots, streams, rivers, and lakes in YNP and...

Bumble bees and flowering plants in Glacier National Park 2023 Bumble bees and flowering plants in Glacier National Park 2023
USGS personnel surveyed bumble bees and flowering plants in and around Glacier National Park during the summer of 2023. These data include 1) a .csv file of all bumble bee - plant interactions observed across surveys and 2) all flowering plants observed in bloom across all surveys.
Code, imagery, and annotations for training a deep learning model to detect wildlife in aerial imagery Code, imagery, and annotations for training a deep learning model to detect wildlife in aerial imagery
There are 3 child zip files included in this data release. 01_Codebase.zip contains a codebase for using deep learning to filter images based on the probability of any bird occurrence. It includes instructions and files necessary for training, validating, and testing a machine learning detection algorithm. 02_Imagery.zip contains imagery that were collected using a Partenavia P68 fixed...
Idealized COAWST model cases for testing sensitivity of sediment transport and marsh accretion to vegetation, wave, and sediment parameters Idealized COAWST model cases for testing sensitivity of sediment transport and marsh accretion to vegetation, wave, and sediment parameters
Marshes may drown if they are unable to accrete sediment at the rate of sea level rise, but predicting the rate of sediment accretion at different marshes is challenging because many processes (e.g. tidal range, wave frequency) and conditions (e.g. available sediment, vegetation density, shape of the marsh edge) impact it. The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST...
Lifespan of marsh units in New York salt marshes Lifespan of marsh units in New York salt marshes
Lifespan of salt marshes in New York are calculated using conceptual marsh units defined by Defne and Ganju (2018) and Welk and others (2019, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c). The lifespan calculation is based on estimated sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) predictions after Ganju and others (2020). Sea level predictions are local estimates which correspond to the 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 meter...
Compilation of vitrinite reflectance data for the Southwestern Wyoming Province, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah Compilation of vitrinite reflectance data for the Southwestern Wyoming Province, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah
This data release is a compilation of vitrinite reflectance (Ro) data from the Southwestern Wyoming Province in Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. The data includes about 1,200 Ro measurements from wells drilled for oil and gas exploration and production, coal test holes, and outcrop sections.

Bathymetric and Hydraulic Structure Survey of Still River, Danbury, Connecticut, 2023 Bathymetric and Hydraulic Structure Survey of Still River, Danbury, Connecticut, 2023
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) has collected survey data on the Still River in Danbury, Connecticut. This data release contains high-precision survey data of bathymetric stream channel cross-sections and hydraulic structure data for bridges, culverts, and dams.
High and average water table estimates for Clover Creek watershed, Pierce County, Washington High and average water table estimates for Clover Creek watershed, Pierce County, Washington
The depths to a high and average water table below the land surface were estimated across the Clover Creek watershed in Pierce County, Washington. Groundwater model simulations provided initial estimates of water-table depths for the analysis. To provide optimized, data-driven estimates of these depths, a continuous bias correction surface was applied to model output according to...
