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.

X-ray Fluorescence Geochemistry of Columbia River Basalt Group Rocks in the Western Columbia River Gorge X-ray Fluorescence Geochemistry of Columbia River Basalt Group Rocks in the Western Columbia River Gorge
This table contains geochemical data collected for whole-rock samples from the Columbia River Basalt Group in the western Columbia River Gorge in Oregon and Washington. Most samples were collected by Russell C. Evarts and Richard M. Conrey from 2002 to 2014. Samples were collected during traverses along roads, streams, ridgecrests, and other areas as part of ongoing geologic mapping...
Biome-wide sagebrush core habitat and growth areas estimated from a threat-based conservation design Biome-wide sagebrush core habitat and growth areas estimated from a threat-based conservation design
These data were compiled as a part of a landscape conservation design effort for the sagebrush biome, and are the result of applying a spatially explicit model that assessed geographic patterns in sagebrush ecological integrity and used these results to identify Core Sagebrush Areas (CSAs), Growth Opportunity Areas (GOAs), and Other Rangeland Areas (ORAs). Our overall objective in this...
Gridded South Carolina StreamStats Runoff Curve Numbers by NLCD Landcover and SSURGO Soils Class (ver. 1.1, September 2025) Gridded South Carolina StreamStats Runoff Curve Numbers by NLCD Landcover and SSURGO Soils Class (ver. 1.1, September 2025)
This dataset was produced by the US Geological Survey (USGS) as a supporting dataset to be used for the purpose of calculating stream gage basin characteristics in preparation for the South Carolina StreamStats application. This integer raster dataset represents runoff curve numbers for combinations of hydrologic soils groups and land cover classes within the South Carolina StreamStats...
Chemical and isotopic compositions of tropical wood samples Chemical and isotopic compositions of tropical wood samples
Illegal logging is one of the leading causes of deforestation today. Sadly, tree species indigenous to regions critical to maintaining Earth?s ecological diversity also possess properties (i.e. appearance, aroma, etc.) desirable to humans, which often leads to exploitation. In 1992, due to illegal logging, Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) became the first ever tree species to be...
USGS46a Greenland ice core water ? A reference material for stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of water USGS46a Greenland ice core water ? A reference material for stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of water
Ice core from Greenland was melted, filtered, and homogenized. Its stable hydrogen (δ2H) and oxygen (δ18O) isotopic compositions were adjusted to approximately match those of USGS46 ice core water (δ2H = ?235.8 ? and δ18O = ?29.80 ?). This isotopic reference water, USGS46a, was loaded into glass ampules, sealed, autoclaved to eliminate biological activity, and calibrated by dual-inlet...
Sr concentrations and 87Sr/86Sr data used to determine the Sr-chronostratigraphic age of sirenian fossils on Santa Rosa Island, Channel Islands National Park, California, USA Sr concentrations and 87Sr/86Sr data used to determine the Sr-chronostratigraphic age of sirenian fossils on Santa Rosa Island, Channel Islands National Park, California, USA
This data release includes a table of Sr concentrations and 87Sr/86Sr data used to evaluate primary seawater isotope compositions of marine invertebrate shell material used to estimate the Sr-chronostratigraphic age of sediments hosting early Miocene sirenian fossils on Santa Rosa Island of the Channel Island National Park, Ventura County, California
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis results with thiaminase activity stain of recombinant putative thiaminases expressed in E. coli Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis results with thiaminase activity stain of recombinant putative thiaminases expressed in E. coli
Data describe results of a set of laboratory experiments using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a thiaminase activity stain to test the solubility and thiaminase activity of recombinant putative thiaminases expressed in E. coli. Parameters described include the presence and relative mobility of thiaminases, and the presence and relative mobility of recombinant proteins...
GIS shapefile and related summary data describing irrigated agricultural land use for the 15 counties fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District, Florida, 2021 GIS shapefile and related summary data describing irrigated agricultural land use for the 15 counties fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District, Florida, 2021
A Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefile and summary tables of irrigated agricultural land-use are provided for the 15 counties fully within the Northwest Florida Water Management District (Bay, Calhoun, Escambia, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Leon, Liberty, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Wakulla, Walton, and Washington counties). These files were compiled through a cooperative...
Datasets and scripts used for estimating streamflow and base flow within the nontidal Chesapeake Bay riverine system, water years 2006-15 Datasets and scripts used for estimating streamflow and base flow within the nontidal Chesapeake Bay riverine system, water years 2006-15
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains estimated daily streamflow and base flow for HUC12 in the nontidal areas of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, monthly average streamflow and base flow, flow statistics, MATLAB scripts, and a document that describes how to create similar datasets in other watersheds. Daily streamflow was estimated for all the nontidal parts of the...
Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Idaho Cobalt Belt, Central Idaho, 2021 - Magnetic and Radiometric Data Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Idaho Cobalt Belt, Central Idaho, 2021 - Magnetic and Radiometric Data
This publication provides digital flight line data for a high resolution magnetic and radiometric survey over an area of central Idaho, USA. The survey includes airborne geophysical data collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) effort (Day, 2019). Earth MRI is a cooperative effort between the USGS, the Association of American...
Carbonate chemistry measurements of authigenic carbonates collected offshore the U.S. Mid- and South Atlantic in 2018 and 2019 as part of the DEEPSEARCH Project Carbonate chemistry measurements of authigenic carbonates collected offshore the U.S. Mid- and South Atlantic in 2018 and 2019 as part of the DEEPSEARCH Project
Geochemical analysis of carbonate rock samples collected from seep fields on the RB1903 and AT41 research expeditions in the U.S. Mid- and South Atlantic. Samples were collected as a fingerprint to past hydrocarbon seep activity, fluid source, and depositional environment.
Observation Data of Migratory Birds during Spring and Fall Migration and their use of Habitats in the Yakutat Foreland of Alaska Observation Data of Migratory Birds during Spring and Fall Migration and their use of Habitats in the Yakutat Foreland of Alaska
This data package presents raw legacy data collected during 1980 on the Yakutat Forelands of southeast Alaska. The data were collected to identify and understand the occurrence and distribution of birds and mammals in the ocean and wetlands near Yakutat. Migration "sea watches", aerial surveys, and ground plot surveys were conducted in the foreland area of Yakutat in spring (April - May)...
