Data

This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The survey was acquired as part of the USGS Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) to improve our understanding of the fundamental geologic framework of the region with applications to evaluating...

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected from December 2022 through March 2023 over a distance of 11,079 line kilometers in western Nevada and eastern California; central Nevada; and northern Nevada and southeastern Oregon. These data were collected in support of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI), which aims to...

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Sierra Madre-Elkhead Mountains-Medicine Bow Mountains region of southern Wyoming and northern Colorado. The airborne survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative. The survey was designed to meet complementary needs related to geologic mapping and

This data release contains digital radiometric flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over southeastern Illinois, western Kentucky, and southern Indiana, 2019 (version 2.0, August 2025). Data and documentation for the original version, including associated airborne magnetic data, can be found at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9R05B0M. The airborne...

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over parts of Montana in the vicinity of the Boulder Batholith. The airborne survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative and was designed to meet complementary needs related to geologic mapping and characterization of mineral resource potential. A total of 45...

This dataset includes rock magnetic susceptibility and gamma ray spectrometer measurements from 243 outcrops in southwest Montana during 2023-2024. The measurements were collected to understand the causative sources of airborne magnetic and radiometric survey anomalies in the Idaho-Montana porphyry belt. Sixteen magnetic susceptibility measurements were collected at each analyzed site...

This publication provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution magnetic and radiometric survey over part of central Arkansas and southern Missouri. The airborne geophysical survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative and was designed to meet the complimentary needs related to geologic mapping and mineral resource research. The survey covers an irregularly shaped...

This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the central portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt, central Colorado. The Colorado Mineral Belt is a broad, northeast-southwest trending alignment of historic mining districts that have produced multiple types of commodities, including critical minerals that...

Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and estimates of mineral abundances determined using Rietveld refinement included in this data release were generated as part of the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI; https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/earth-mri). Earth MRI is a partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and state geological surveys and was developed by the...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected rock physical property measurements to help understand causative sources of gravity and magnetic survey anomalies in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A total of 1,460 measurements of magnetic susceptibility and density from 61 outcrops and 37 boreholes have been conducted on Precambrian rocks. The measurements aid in interpretation of...

The Yukon-Tanana Upland - Kuskokwim airborne magnetic geophysical data merge provides a merged raster grid of magnetic data for the Yukon-Tanana Upland (YTU) into the Kuskokwim Mountains, 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...

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...
