We present an inventory of 346 landslides triggered by the July 29, 2025 M8.8 Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia earthquake. Landslides were mapped from 10 meter resolution openly available Sentinel-2 optical images. All landslides were manually identified by comparing pre- (using cloud free images as close to the earthquake date as possible from July 2024 - 2025) and post-earthquake real color...

This data release includes information and metrics for evaluating the geomorphic state of barrier islands and headlands along coastal Louisiana. Specifically, these data are: 1) subaerial land coverage; 2) vegetated area coverage; 3) subaerial volume to area ratio from publicly available light detection and ranging (lidar) elevation data; 4) inundation extent (i.e., maps) for high tide...

Open-graded friction course (OGFC) pavement is a layer of porous asphalt spread over the surface of impervious dense-graded hot-mix asphalt that is traditionally used as the wearing surface in Massachusetts. Benefits of OGFC pavement include noise reduction, less vehicular spray, hydroplaning, and surface reflectivity, and often provides measurable improvements in concentrations of...

Phosphorites are significant geological deposits that serve as key archives of past marine productivity, biogeochemical cycling, and sedimentary processes, as well as critical reservoirs of phosphorus, an essential element for global agriculture. Herein we investigate Late Cretaceous phosphorite deposition in Israel, which occurred in an extensive phosphorite belt spanning from Turkey to...

Clear Lake, located in Lake County, California, is impacted by mercury contamination associated with the historic Sulfur Bank mercury mine, which is adjacent to the lake’s eastern shore / Oaks Arm region. As part of a larger study designed to better understand the biogeochemical cycling of mercury in Clear Lake, shallow sediment (top 0-2 cm or 0-4 cm) was sampled from the three major...

This data release contains phytoplankton, water-quality, and satellite data from thirteen surveys along the lower Hudson River, extending from Yonkers to Troy, New York. Data were collected between August 2021 and October 2023. These surveys included continuous water-quality measurements collected at 10-second intervals using a multiparameter sonde deployed in a boat-mounted flow-through...

Data tables and data references supporting the journal article titled: "Estimated average annualized losses from potential building damage and fatalities due to earthquake-generated tsunamis in the United States." Earthquake-generated tsunamis represent substantial economic threats to states and territories in the United States (U.S.), but we are unaware of any effort to quantify...

Data that support the journal article titled “Earthquake-hazard exposure of populations with potential access and functional needs in the United States” as described here: Earthquake response plans and earthquake early warning (EEW) systems designed for general populations may not consider potential access and functional needs (AFN) of individuals with physical, sensory, cognitive, or...

This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over a part of west central Utah. The survey was acquired as part of the UGSS Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) to improve our understanding of the fundamental geologic framework of the region with applications to evaluating natural resources and...

Salt marshes provide a range of ecosystem services, including storm protection, recreation, and commercial fishery habitat provision. The National Park Service (NPS) aims to preserve and protect salt marshes in order to achieve multiple objectives which address their mission: to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of their publicly held lands. Ongoing...

The CZU Lightning Complex Wildfire burned 86,500 acres of forested coastal watersheds in the Santa Cruz Mountains, CA, from August 16 to September 22, 2020. Ash, soil, and stream sediment were collected and characterized as soon as sites could be safely accessed to quantify potential environmental and public hazards from wildfire-related potentially toxic metals and polycyclic aromatic

Ecological models facilitate evaluation of alternative approaches to restore the Greater Everglades ecosystem. However, the provision of useful and accessible models is a challenge because there is often a disconnect between model output and its use by decision makers. Joint Ecosystem Modeling (JEM) meets this challenge by providing ecological model output tailored to management...
