The term “legacy data” refers to project data that are complete, or may be resurrected in the future, that were previously stored in old or obsolete formats and thus, difficult to access. These data are an important record of past ecosystem status and part of the USGS commitment to deliver actionable information relevant to decision makers.

USGS Alaska Science Center Wildlife Tracking Data Collection
Understanding the short- and long-distance movements of wildlife is critical for a wide variety of ecological research questions and management decisions. Since the mid-1980s, the USGS Alaska Science Center has used information from telemetry devices on wildlife species to determine locations of animals throughout their annual cycles, understand patterns of habitat use, quantify time spent on...
USGS Arctic Research
Arctic regions of Alaska are important for biodiversity, national security, cultural and economic sustainability, and support a wide variety of wildlife species, many of which are of conservation and management interest to the U.S. Department of the Interior. USGS and collaborators provide information about its ecosystems, natural hazards, geologic resources, coasts, and wildlife that are used by...
Legacy Research Data from Retired, Emeritus, and Current USGS Alaska Science Center Staff
Legacy data are an important component of the USGS Alaska Science Center’s (ASC) commitment to deliver actionable information relevant to decision makers and science related to the earth’s natural hazards, natural resources, and ecosystems. The term “legacy” refers to project data that are complete, or may be resurrected in the future, that were previously stored in old or obsolete formats that...
Data Supporting Studies of Waterbirds and Arctic Lake Ecosystems within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, 1974-1992
Between 1974-1992, Biologist surveyed and monitored birds, mammals, fish, invertebrates, and vegetation within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. This data release provides an inventory list of available legacy data for the NPR-A region
