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.

Channel geometry, banklines and floodplain inundation over a range of discharges in two segments of the Missouri National Recreational River, South Dakota and Nebraska, 1955-2018 Channel geometry, banklines and floodplain inundation over a range of discharges in two segments of the Missouri National Recreational River, South Dakota and Nebraska, 1955-2018
These datasets describe channel adjustments over a 60-year period to dams in the Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR), South Dakota and Nebraska. Datasets include a channel geometry analysis from cross-sections, banklines digitized and interpreted to predict future bank erosion sites from aerial photography, and models of floodplain inundation over a range of discharges. There are...
Spatial data from An Inventory of U.S. Geological Survey Three-Dimensional Geologic Models, Volume 1, 2004–2022 Spatial data from An Inventory of U.S. Geological Survey Three-Dimensional Geologic Models, Volume 1, 2004–2022
Within the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), three-dimensional (3D) geologic models are created as part of geologic framework studies, to support energy, minerals, or water resource assessments, and to inform geologic hazard assessments. Such models are often used within the organization as digital input into process and predictive models. 3D geological modeling typically supports research...
Meteorological Database, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, January 1, 1948 - September 30, 2021 Meteorological Database, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, January 1, 1948 - September 30, 2021
This data release is the update of the U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase data release by Bera (2021), with the processed data through September 30, 2021. The primary data for water year 2021 (a water year is the 12-month period, October 1 through September 30, in which it ends) is downloaded from the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) (Argonne National Laboratory, 2022) and is...
Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Occurrences Interpreted from Satellite Imagery Pacific Walrus Coastal Haulout Occurrences Interpreted from Satellite Imagery
This dataset is derived from images from a variety of Earth observing satellite imagery sources collected at known walrus coastal haulouts in Alaska and Chukotka, Russia. Earth observing imagery sources used in this data release include (but are not limited to) optical imagery collections by: (1) the European Space Agency's Sentinel-2 mission, (2) the Plant Labs Planet Scope...
Code for analysis of polar bear maternal den abundance and distribution in four regions of northern Alaska and Canada within the Southern Beaufort Sea subpopulation boundary (1982-2015) Code for analysis of polar bear maternal den abundance and distribution in four regions of northern Alaska and Canada within the Southern Beaufort Sea subpopulation boundary (1982-2015)
We have archived the derived data files and R/JAGS code for our analysis as a U.S. Geological Survey data release (link ). The code is divided into three R scripts: 1) pbdens_landdens_JWM.r contains R code for fitting hierarchical Bayesian models of polar bear maternal den abundance and distribution for the Southern Beaufort Sea (SBS) subpopulation, 1982-2015. This script requires the...
Digital data of the previously published geologic map showing configuration of the bedrock, North Platte, 1 degree x 2 degrees quadrangle, Nebraska Digital data of the previously published geologic map showing configuration of the bedrock, North Platte, 1 degree x 2 degrees quadrangle, Nebraska
This digital data release contains previously published geologic data compiled for the North Platte 250k quadrangle, a region in west-central Nebraska largely covered by Quaternary deposits, with exposures of Tertiary Ogallala and Brule formations in the southern portion of the study area. Geologic map data were compiled for the purposes of digitizing the geologic data as part of the...
USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project-Montana Thrust Belt Province: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project-Montana Thrust Belt Province: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables
This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of undiscovered gas resources in the Montana Thrust Belt province in Montana. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level...
Hawaiian Islands downscaled climate projections for baseline (1983-2012), mid- (2040-2059), and late-century (2060-2079) scenarios Hawaiian Islands downscaled climate projections for baseline (1983-2012), mid- (2040-2059), and late-century (2060-2079) scenarios
Global downscaled projections are now some of the most widely used climate datasets in the world, however, they are rarely examined for representativeness of local climate or the plausibility of their projected changes. Here we apply steps to improve the utility of two such global datasets (CHELSA and WorldClim2) to provide credible climate scenarios for climate change impact studies in...
Cone penetrometer and elevation measurement data of coastal wetland plant states for resilience quantification, Louisiana, USA (2019) Cone penetrometer and elevation measurement data of coastal wetland plant states for resilience quantification, Louisiana, USA (2019)
These datasets provide: 1) field-collected geotechnical data, and 2) Real-Time-Kinematic GPS elevation data for coastal salt marsh in the Port Sulphur area, Louisiana from 2019.
Microanalysis of samples collected from the Sulfur Springs Draw calcrete-type uranium deposit in the Southern High Plains, Texas, USA Microanalysis of samples collected from the Sulfur Springs Draw calcrete-type uranium deposit in the Southern High Plains, Texas, USA
This data release presents the results of microanalysis of 2 samples SSD15_01A (1 thin section and 1 composite chip sample), and SSD15_01B (1 thin section). The samples were collected in 2015 by U.S. Geological Survey geologists Bradley Van Gosen and Susan Hall from surface exposures of uranium mineralization in Sulfur Springs Draw, in Martin County, Texas (Van Gosen and Hall, 2017). The...
Deep (15-second) seismic reflection profiles CC-1 and CC-2 extending from the eastern California Coast Ranges across the Great Valley into the Sierran foothills at about latitude 37.25 Degrees N Deep (15-second) seismic reflection profiles CC-1 and CC-2 extending from the eastern California Coast Ranges across the Great Valley into the Sierran foothills at about latitude 37.25 Degrees N
This data release contains deep seismic reflection profiles CC-1 and CC-2, which extend eastward from within the California Coast Ranges across the Great Valley and into the Sierran foothills, with a combined east-west length of about 140 km at about the latitude of the town of Merced (37.25° north latitude). The records are processed to 15 seconds two-way time and thus extend deep into...
Charcoal data from four sites in Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge - August 2022 Charcoal data from four sites in Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge - August 2022
Charcoal counts and radiocarbon dates from four sediment cores collected in Great Dismal Swamp in 2017 and 2018 were incorporated into a synthesis of charcoal records from northern hemisphere peatlands (Sims et al., in review). Macroscopic charcoal was counted in three size classes: 125-250 micrometers, and 250-500 micrometers, and >500 micrometers. Uncalibrated radiocarbon dates were...
