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.

Model predictions for heterogeneous stream-reservoir graph networks with data assimilation Model predictions for heterogeneous stream-reservoir graph networks with data assimilation
This data release provides the predictions from stream temperature models described in Chen et al. 2021. Briefly, various deep learning and process-guided deep learning models were built to test improved performance of stream temperature predictions below reservoirs in the Delaware River Basin. The spatial extent of predictions was restricted to streams above the Delaware River at...
USGS National Wildlife Health Center necropsy results to determine cause of illness/death for seabirds collected in Alaska from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2021 USGS National Wildlife Health Center necropsy results to determine cause of illness/death for seabirds collected in Alaska from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2021
Summary of Bering and Chukchi Seas seabird necropsies, 2017-2021. More than 14,000 dead seabirds were reported and a total of 117 carcasses were examined. 92 cases had emaciation identified as the Cause Of Death (COD), seven cases where COD was undetermined, and 17 cases where COD was determined as "Other", which included predation, trauma, encephalitis, peritonitis, and bacterial...
Virginia Bridge Scour Pilot Study Streamflow Data Virginia Bridge Scour Pilot Study Streamflow Data
The objective of the Virginia Bridge Scour Pilot Study is to investigate methods for improving the utility of estimates of hydrologic flow in streams and rivers used when evaluating potential pier scour over the design-life of highway bridges in Virginia. Data measuring daily discharge and instantaneous discharge were required for analysis. The provided daily value and instantaneous...
Round goby detection by environmental DNA, trawl, and angling in Lakes Huron and Michigan Round goby detection by environmental DNA, trawl, and angling in Lakes Huron and Michigan
This data set is associated with an examination of environmental DNA (eDNA) from the invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in parallel with traditional fish surveys in the Great Lakes. Data resulting from bottom trawling surveys and angler hook and line methods include round goby fish count and biomass at different depths and seasons at multiple sites of Lake Huron and Lake...
Gridded Seabird Density Estimates in Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska Gridded Seabird Density Estimates in Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska
This data set provides monthly (March-October) gridded density estimates for seabirds in lower Cook Inlet, Alaska. Gridded density estimates were produced by applying spatiotemporal modeling of at-sea survey data collected between 1975 and 2021 of seabird at-sea surveys available in the North Pacific Pelagic Seabird Database (NPPSD; Drew and Piatt 2015). We modeled joint dynamic species
Data Supporting Walrus Areas of Use in the Chukchi Sea During Sparse Sea Ice Cover Data Supporting Walrus Areas of Use in the Chukchi Sea During Sparse Sea Ice Cover
The dataset consists of geospatial files depicting the estimated June-to-November distribution of walrus foraging and occupancy during a four year period of sparse sea ice cover above the Chukchi Sea continental shelf (2008-2011). The walrus distribution and utilization estimates are based on location data from satellite-linked radio-tracked walruses in the Chukchi Sea (2008-2011)...
Model archive - Regional regression models for estimating flood frequency characteristics of unregulated streams in Wisconsin Model archive - Regional regression models for estimating flood frequency characteristics of unregulated streams in Wisconsin
This model archive contains R source code for the Weighted-Multiple Linear Regression Program (WREG), input files, and associated output files needed to recreate regression models that are discussed in the report: Levin, S.B. and Sanocki, C.A., Methods for estimating flood magnitude and frequency for unregulated streams in Wisconsin, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations...
Data to support near-term forecasts of stream temperature using process-guided deep learning and data assimilation Data to support near-term forecasts of stream temperature using process-guided deep learning and data assimilation
This data release contains the forcings and outputs of 7-day ahead maximum water temperature forecasting models that made real-time predictions in the Delaware River Basin during 2021. The model is driven by weather forecasts and observed reservoir releases and produces maximum water temperature forecasts for the issue day (day 0) and 7 days into the future (days 1-7) at five sites. This...
Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States, Volume 3 Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States, Volume 3
This is the data archive for the publication Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States, Volume 3 (Kauffman et al. 2022) and includes the collection of GIS map files that are mapped and described in the report. These map files are meant to provide a common spatial representation of the mapped migrations. This data release provides the means for ungulate migrations to be mapped and...
Bias estimation for seven precipitation datasets for the eastern MENA region Bias estimation for seven precipitation datasets for the eastern MENA region
Information on the spatio-temporal distribution of rainfall is critical for addressing water-related disasters, especially in the Middle East and North Africa's (MENA) arid to semi-arid regions. However, the availability of reliable rainfall datasets for most river basins is limited. In this study, we utilized observations from satellite-based rainfall data, in situ rain gauge...
Reef-census Data from Buck Island Reef National Monument Reef-census Data from Buck Island Reef National Monument
In July of 2016, Florida Institute of Technology researchers, in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), conducted reef-census surveys at 54 sites around Buck Island Reef National Monument, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The sites are divided across two reef sectors (North and South) and three reef habitats (fore reef, reef crest, and back reef) (Figure 1). These data were...
Predicted consequences of detecting dreissenid mussel eDNA in Jordanelle Reservoir Utah, 2021 Predicted consequences of detecting dreissenid mussel eDNA in Jordanelle Reservoir Utah, 2021
U.S. Geological Survey decision analysts and technical experts worked with representatives from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and Central Utah Water Conservancy District to predict the consequences of alternative actions following environmental DNA detections of dreissenid mussel eDNA in Jordanelle Reservor, Utah. This dataset provides the...
