Data

The U.S. Geological Survey deployed small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) to collect aerial remote sensing data across sites within the Lower Darby Creek Superfund Site and the adjacent John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge (JHNWR) ~5 miles outside of Philadelphia, PA in March and August of 2024. March datasets include aerial images from natural color (RGB) and thermal infra-red (TIR)...

Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over Sesuit Marsh in Dennis, MA. Raw data from aerial surveys include aerial images from natural color (RGB) and multispectral cameras and raw lidar data. These datasets were processed to produce high resolution digital elevation models (DEM), image mosaics, and lidar point clouds (LPC) to provide...

Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over Town Neck Beach, a highly trafficked local beach in Sandwich Massachusetts with parking lot, boardwalk, and state maintained sand and vegetation placement. USGS personnel collected natural (RGB) color images, LiDAR, and ground control points starting in December 2023 to support multiple science...

Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over Town Neck Beach, Massachusetts. The area is a highly trafficked public beach with parking lot, boardwalk, and renourishment and dune stabilization plan. On October 15th, 2024, USGS personnel collected natural (RGB) color images, lidar, ground control points, check points, and a vegetation height...

This data release presents structure-from-motion (SfM) products derived from aerial imagery collected along the California coast as part of an ongoing effort by the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP) Remote Sensing Coastal Change (RSCC) project. The products presented herein are point cloud and change detection products for 33 flights between January 2017 to...

Topographic data were collected along select erosional features within or adjacent to channels exposed in Fern Ridge Lake, Oregon, in 2023 and 2024 during low pool. Measurements were focused on features that displayed evidence of past or ongoing fluvial erosion and included landforms such as rills, gulleys and channel segments with knickpoints. The survey data were collected during...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release describes two 30-meter (m) raster datasets of topographic wetness indexes (TWI) for the Upper and Lower Colorado River basins. The data reside in GeoTIFF (Geographic Tagged Imaged File Format) multiplied by 10 and saved as an integer file to reduce space (colorado14_twX100i.tif and colorado15_twiX100.tif). The TWI units are dimensionless...

This digital dataset contains irrigation applications and consumptive use at the agricultural-field scale (average 173 acres) and twelve-digit watershed scale (HUC12) for four regions in the conterminous United States representing calendar years 2000-2020. Agricultural field-scale irrigation depths of applied groundwater and surface water for selected agricultural fields were compiled...

Comma-separated values (.csv) file containing data related to mercury in biota collected from the Hells Canyon Reservoir Complex on the Snake River, Idaho and Oregon.

The West and Central African Rift System (WCARS) refers to the series of Cretaceous rift basins where commercial hydrocarbon accumulations have been discovered. The Babouri-Figuil Basin (BFB) is an area of interest in terms of petroleum prospecting related to the WCARS. Many researchers have identified potential petroleum source rocks in the BFB. However, most of these studies have...

Chemostratigraphic signatures were recorded in a 113 m thick outcrop of late Albian to early Campanian (~103–82 Ma) Hue Shale exposed on the bank of the Jago River in the coastal plain (“1002 Area”) of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), Alaska. Spectral gamma-ray (SGR) data was collected in situ across the Jago River section. A total of 250 samples consisting of predominantly...

Efforts to quantify and explain individual size distributions (ISD) are prominent in ecological research and potentially for applications to management which increasingly consider ecosystem-scale objectives. We use a nation-wide database of individual size measurements for United States stream fishes paired with species’ traits and test for direct and indirect effects of traits, flow...
