Argon Data for samples from the Elkhead and Rabbit Ears Mountains, northern Colorado, USA
This dataset accompanies the planned publication “Mantle Melting in Regions of Thick Continental Lithosphere-Examples from Late Cretaceous and Younger Volcanic Rocks, Southern Rocky Mountains, Colorado” in the journal Geosphere. The dataset includes 40Ar/39Ar data for 19 samples from the Rabbit Ears volcanic field and from the Elkhead Mountains in northcentral Colorado, USA. Samples were collected
Maps of the USGS Climate Adaptation Science Centers (May 2024)
The Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) partner with natural and cultural resource managers, tribes and indigenous communities, and university researchers to provide science that helps fish, wildlife, ecosystems, and the communities they support adapt to climate change. The CASCs provide managers and stakeholders with information and decision-making tools to respond to the effects of climat
Digital Archive of the R.S. Thompson western United States Packrat Midden Collection
This data release provides a digital inventory of the Robert S. Thompson packrat midden collection consisting of 1,740 midden samples and subsamples primarily collected in the Great Basin region of Nevada, as well as in Arizona, California, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, and Washington, USA, by Robert S. Thompson (USGS scientist emeritus) and others between 1977 and 2006. Middens are waste piles compos

Data Release for Surficial Geology and Quaternary Tectonics of the Madison Valley and Fault Zone, Madison, Gallatin, and Beaverhead Counties, southwest Montana
The NNW-striking Madison fault zone is approximately 95 km in length, lying at the confluence of the northeast Basin and Range province and the Yellowstone tectonic parabola. The fault zone consists primarily of west-dipping normal faults with east-dipping antithetic faults, which create the Madison Valley graben and several northeast-trending intra-basin faults. The Madison fault zone (MFZ) and a
Sea Otter Aerial Survey Data from Western Prince William Sound, Alaska, 2022
This dataset consists of three tables related to abundance and distribution of northern sea otters (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) in western Prince William Sound, Alaska, based on data collected during a series of population-wide aerial surveys in June 2022. The dataset consists of: (1) sea otter counts along strip transects, (2) sea otter counts in Intensive Search Unit (ISU) within the transects, and
Bedrock geologic map database for the Blanca Peak, Walsenburg, Trinidad, and Alamosa 30' x 60' quadrangles, Colorado
This data release presents geologic map data for the bedrock geology of the Blanca Peak, Walsenburg, Trinidad, and Alamosa 30' x 60' quadrangles, Colorado. Geologic mapping incorporates new interpretive contributions and compilation from published geologic map data sources primarily ranging from 1:24,000 to 1:50,000 scale. Much of the geology incorporated from published geologic maps is adjusted b
Data Release for Luminescence: OSL Data and Ages in support of the Surficial Geology and Quaternary Fault Map of the Las Vegas Valley, Clark County, Nevada
The data release includes 35 new luminescence ages and 3 new radiocarbon ages. The new age data further brackets the ages of the Las Vegas basin Quaternary stratigraphy and provide new constraints on the timing of Quaternary fault activity.
Grain-size analysis data from sediment samples in support of oceanographic and water-quality measurements in the nearshore zone of Sandy Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, collected in March and April, 2021
The U.S. Geological Survey Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center collected data to assess cross-shore sediment transport prediction techniques in coastal models for a wave-dominated sandy coast. A quadpod was deployed on the seafloor in the nearshore zone of Sandy Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, MA in March 2021 to analyze water velocities near the seabed and the response of the seabed to these f
