Wildfires pose a major threat to human life and property, but there is limited information for assessing numbers or precise locations of building losses at a national scale. This geospatial dataset was developed to identify point locations of all buildings destroyed by or exposed to major wildfire disasters from 2002-2022. The data include all wildfire events in the conterminous United...

This data release contains results from the analysis of streambank and adjacent hillslope sediment samples collected from the Stony Clove and Woodland Creek watersheds in the Catskill Mountain region of New York State from July to October 2024. Fourteen or fifteen samples were collected from each of three depositional units ­­— alluvium, glaciolacustrine clay, and glacial till. Results...

A terrain-based map of a large area of Franciscan Complex delineates varied areas of erosionally resistant topography and contrasting subdued topography distinguished using differences in the detailed shapes of individual topographic elements that in these rocks indicate relatively intact rock or mélange. Most of the line work in the map is based on interpretation of small-scale aerial...

This dataset consists of sample descriptions and radiocarbon age data from Esther Lake on Esther Island in Prince William Sound, Alaska; samples were analyzed at Northern Arizona University, Arizona Climate and Ecosystems Isotope Laboratory https://in.nau.edu/aceisotopelab/.

From 2022 through 2024, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a study in cooperation with the Arkansas River Basin Regional Resources Planning Group (Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, Colorado Springs Utilities, Pueblo Water, Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservancy District, Aurora Water, and Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District) to establish a basin-wide water...

This dataset contains the results from 80 visual encounter surveys at two wetlands in Palmetto Island State Park, Vermillion Parish, Louisiana from August 2015 to April 2019. These surveys mainly targeted snakes but small turtles and anoles were also opportunistically captured. Captured animals were swabbed to determine the prevalence of Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, the causative agent of...

The 'ōpe‘ape‘a, also known as the Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus; Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), is a solitary, insectivorous, and foliage-roosting endemic species. We investigated day-roost lability and fidelity, nocturnal activity patterns at the roost, and long-term use of roosts by 'ōpe‘ape‘a. The full data release consists of six tabular datasets: (1) Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe...

This data release documents movement of the toe of Cleveland Corral Landslide, El Dorado County, CA from October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017, based on GPS data from near real-time monitoring. Raw GPS data from L1-only receivers were recorded in 15 second epochs using data acquisition systems and radio telemetry developed by the USGS Volcano Hazards Program. The overall system, named...

In 2002, tropical storm Chata’an triggered more than 250 landslides in Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia (Harp and others, 2004). This data release includes shapefiles of the original mapping from oblique aerial photographs of landslide-affected areas (source and runout) (Harp and others, 2004), extraction of height (H) and length (L) from the original mapped landslides, and revised...

This dataset is the fourth installment of a yearly connectivity update for forested habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity (TH&C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, WI and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin boundary...

This dataset is the fourth installment of a yearly connectivity update for open habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats & Connectivity (TH&C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, Wisconsin and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin...
