Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Creation Tool
This service allows USGS personnel to assign globally unique, persistent, and resolvable identifiers, registered with DataCite, to USGS data & software products.
Science Data Catalog
The USGS Science Data Catalog provides seamless access to USGS research and monitoring data from across the nation. Users have the ability to search, browse, or use a map-based interface to discover data.
Model Catalog
As an Earth science organization, the USGS develops and builds models for scientific analysis and computation. Information about these models exists in many different places across the bureau. The Model Catalog compiles and links the information in one place so that models are discoverable and reusable. The catalog will support and enable model use and integration.
Web Service for Geomagnetism Data
Access geomagnetic data via our webservices.
GBIF-US
Species observations for the United States and Territories
Water Data Labs
Water Data Labs is an experimental site that exposes tools and technologies in development by the USGS Water Data for the Nation software team. Here, users can explore and test experimental products, services, tools, and visualizations.
USGS Water Services
This site serves USGS water data (streamflow, groundwater, water quality, site information, and statistics) via automated means using web services and extensible markup language (XML), as well as other popular media types. Services are invoked with the REST protocol. These services designed for high fault tolerance and very high availability.
StreamStats Web Services
The StreamStats application uses data web services that were created for it. When in use, the application manages interactions between the user and the services. However, the web services can be directly accessed using the StreamStats Service API documented here or consumed by a custom client application using HTTP protocols.
