Yukon-Tanana Upland airborne magnetic geophysical data merge, version 2023 Yukon-Tanana Upland airborne magnetic geophysical data merge, version 2023
The Yukon-Tanana Upland airborne magnetic geophysical data merge provides a merged raster grid of magnetic data for the Yukon-Tanana Upland (YTU), Alaska. This dataset provides a regionally consistent magnetic grid while retaining as much detail as possible of the originating data by leveling all the region's magnetic grids to one another. This 100-m cell-size magnetic grid of the YTU...
Lithium observations, machine-learning predictions, and mass estimates from the Smackover Formation brines in southern Arkansas Lithium observations, machine-learning predictions, and mass estimates from the Smackover Formation brines in southern Arkansas
Global demand for lithium, the primary component of lithium-ion batteries, greatly exceeds known supplies and this imbalance is expected to increase as the world transitions away from fossil fuel energy sources. The goal of this work was to calculate the total lithium mass in brines of the Reynolds oolite unit of the Smackover Formation in southern Arkansas using predicted lithium...
U-Pb Isotope Geochronology Data and Geochemical Analyses of Selected Rocks from the Seldovia Quadrangle, Southcentral Alaska U-Pb Isotope Geochronology Data and Geochemical Analyses of Selected Rocks from the Seldovia Quadrangle, Southcentral Alaska
This dataset contains U-Pb isotopic data and associated ages of zircons within the lithologic framework of igneous, metaigneous, and metasedimentary rocks collected from the Seldovia quadrangle in southcentral Alaska. The samples were collected as part of geological mapping and research conducted from 2020 to 2023 and funded by the Mineral Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey...
Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming, 2023 Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming, 2023
This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Medicine Bow Mountains in southern Wyoming. The airborne survey was jointly funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative and the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS). The survey was designed to meet complementary needs related to geologic mapping and...
GIS Data for Geologic Map of the Bayhorse Area, Central Custer County, Idaho GIS Data for Geologic Map of the Bayhorse Area, Central Custer County, Idaho
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides a digital geospatial database for the geologic map of the Bayhorse area, central Custer County, Idaho (Hobbs and others, 1991). Attribute tables and geospatial features (points, lines, polygons) conform to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS, 2020) and represent the geologic map as published in the USGS Miscellaneous Investigations...
