Data

This data release presents field and laboratory rock magnetic measurements from rocks from the Blanca Peak region of the Sangre de Cristo Range in southern Colorado. These data include averages of magnetic susceptibility from 2 to 12 measurements per site made with a handheld meter, quantifying magnetic contrasts between rock units that could be detected in geophysical surveys...

The U.S. Geological Survey’s National Geologic Synthesis Project is engaged in data preservation and compilation across the United States. As a part of this broader effort, this data release serves digitized structure contour, isopach, and fault lines from a series of previously published maps of the Palo Duro Basin and the surrounding uplifts within the Texas Panhandle (Dutton 1980...

This data release contains eight luminescence samples collected for USGS Science Investigations Map, "Quaternary geologic map of the Mesquite Springs fault zone, San Bernardino County, California", of the Mesquite Hills (north of Ludlow CA about halfway between I-15 and I-40). The samples were analyzed by infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) and produced ages between ~33 ka and ~200...

This data release contains traditional and portable optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) data collected from the Stinking Water Creek Basin near Rangely, Colorado, to constrain the timing of alluvial deposition and channel evolution in landscapes underlain by the Late Cretaceous Mancos Shale. The dataset includes OSL measurements from fluvial terraces, modern stream channels, and...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery via a fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 7-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Horseshoe Bend near Jensen, Utah. Visual imagery was collected in jpg format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied (Over et al., 2021)...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery via a fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 6-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Ouray National Wildlife Refuge near Ouray, Utah. Visual imagery was collected in jpg format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied (Over...

This data release contains a formatted dataset with mean and standard deviation of effectiveness-cost ratios for aerial or drill seeding sagebrush (Artemisia spp.), at the cost estimate of 100, 1,000, and 5,000 acre treatments, and associated environmental conditions from across the sagebrush biome. With these data, we modeled the influence of environmental conditions on cost...

These data represent morphometric and radiotracking data of invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in Big Cypress National Preserve in southern Florida. This data release includes two csv spreadsheets, one folder with photos, and one folder with videos that are all from 01 November 2017 to 31 December 2024. One csv spreadsheet contains morphometric data of 356 radiotracked juvenile...

This Data Release summarizes the dating results from sedimentary deposits sampled by the USGS Geologic Hazards Team and analyzed at the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory. During field seasons 2023 and 2024, these samples were collected as part of the Abandoned Mine Lands Task of the Intermountain West Geologic Framework project, in collaboration with the Navajo Nation and USGS...

The following report summarizes the dating results from sedimentary deposits discovered during paleoseismic investigations of Puerto Rico. Within this report, we detail the methodology used by the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory to obtain ages including sample preparation methods, luminescence measurement, equivalent dose determination, and dating-related calculations. We...

Characterizing spatial uncertainty in satellite-derived burned area products is essential to accurately represent fire activity and manage fire-prone ecosystems. However, most product evaluations rely on summary statistics, where their use to adjust burned area estimates is unclear. This dataset provides a comprehensive characterization of the spatial and temporal uncertainty in the...

Because urban landscapes are heterogeneous, the methods and spatial resolution used to depict the land surface greatly influence the representation of urban features. Land cover products such as tree canopy cover (TCC) are particularly sensitive to the methodology and resolution used in their creation. Differences in TCC mapping have implications on the outcomes of ecosystem service (ES)...
