Rare earth elements are critical mineral commodities typically extracted together as a group of 15 elements (lanthanides plus yttrium) from either 1) hard rock ores or 2) ion-adsorption clay deposits. The locations of hard rock mines targeting carbonatite and peralkaline magmatic rare earth deposits are well constrained and typically mined using conventional open-pit or underground...

Sulfur minerals, including sulfates (barite, celestine) and sulfides (pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite) are common throughout the Mountain Pass carbonatite. Changes in the sulfur isotope chemistry of sulfate and sulfide minerals record changes in temperature and oxygen fugacity in the system from which they precipitate, and early primary sulfate and/or sulfide minerals may record the primary...

This data release includes 3 child items with tracking data for caribou, a terrestrial mammal that ranges between the Alaska and Canada. Child Item 1: "GPS Tracking Data for Caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) from the Denali Herd, Alaska, 2010-2018" Child Item 2: "GPS Tracking Data for Caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) from the Fortymile Herd, Alaska, 1998-1999" Child Item 3: "GPS...

Agricultural land use estimates are vital to understanding agricultural production, economic contributions, and water demands. A method to estimate spatially and temporally distributed agricultural land use was developed for California. Pesticide application records were processed to develop annual statewide estimates of agricultural land use at approximately 1-square mile resolution...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, Office of Water Resources, developed regional regression equations for estimating selected low-flow statistics in Massachusetts. This data release contains the datasets used in the regression analyses for the regional low-flow equations for the mainland area of...

This release presents hi-resolution structure-from-motion (SfM) habitat imagery suitable for GIS. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed SfM to become a low-cost technique for coastal change assessments. The software uses a combination of camera locations and ground control points to produce digital surface models (DSMs) and orthorectified imagery products. SfM products include...

Since 1975, annual water use for Louisiana has been published on a 5-year basis and is used for a variety of purposes. As the Sparta aquifer is a heavily used aquifer, is the sole source of groundwater for many parishes in Louisiana, and recent withdrawals have exceeded the Sparta’s natural recharge, a more frequent compilation of water usage for the Sparta aquifer in Louisiana is needed...

The Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center collected continuous gage height data at 30-second intervals at Yellowstone River at Yellowstone Lake Outlet, Yellowstone National Park (YNP), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage 06186500, from 2011–2023 in a partnership with the USGS Volcanic Science Center. River gage height data can indicate changes in seismic activity at this location...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center (WY-MT WSC), in collaboration with the USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), measured streamflow in three headwaters basins in Wyoming and Montana to better quantify streamflow, particularly during lower flows in the late summer and fall. The WY-MT WSC installed two streamgages in each of the three...

This dataset records diel changes to water quality parameters, nutrients, and phytoplankton biomass in the south-eastern region of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Sampling occurred in August 2024 in the Stockton Waterfront (City of Stockton, San Joaquin County, California, USA) and San Joaquin River. Data was collected from approximately 6am to 9pm Pacific Standard Time on August 6, 13...
