Data Releases

The data collected and the techniques used by USGS scientists should conform to or reference national and international standards and protocols if they exist and when they are relevant and appropriate. For datasets of a given type, and if national or international metadata standards exist, the data are indexed with metadata that facilitates access and integration.

Daily baseflow specific conductance and daily baseflow discharge at selected sites within the Colorado River Basin for water years 1980-2022

This data release contains two sets of estimated values at selected sites within the Colorado River Basin: 1) daily specific conductance at 143 sites in the Upper Basin and 3 sites in the Lower Basin (WY 1980-2022); and 2) daily baseflow discharge at 100 sites in the Upper Basin and 3 sites in the Lower Basin (WY 1980-2022). The estimates of daily baseflow discharge will be used as input to an app

FUTURES v2: Status Quo Projections of Future Patterns of Urbanization Across the Conterminous United States from 2020 to 2100

We simulated future patterns of urban growth using the FUTure Urban-Regional Environment Simulation (FUTURES; Meentemeyer et al., 2013) version 2 framework. FUTURES is an open source urban growth model designed to address the regional-scale ecological and environmental impacts of urbanization; it is one of the few land change models that explicitly captures the spatial structure of development in

FUTURES v3: Scenarios of Future Patterns of Urbanization in Response to Sea Level Rise and Frequent Flooding Across the Southeast United States from 2020 to 2100

Policy-relevant flood risk modeling must capture interactions between physical and social processes to accurately project impacts from scenarios of sea level rise and inland flooding due to climate change. Here we simultaneously model urban growth, flood hazard change, and adaptive response using the FUTure Urban-Regional Environment Simulation (FUTURES) version 3 framework (Sanchez et al., 2023).

Specific conductance data collected during slug additions

Slug additions are often the most accurate method for determining discharge when traditional current meter or acoustic measurements are unreliable because of high turbulence, rocky streambed, shallow or sheet flow, or the stream is physically inaccessible (e.g., under ice or canyon walls) or unsafe to wade (Zellweger et al., 1989, Kilpatrick and Cobb 1984, Ferranti 2015). The slug addition method

Landslide Inventory for Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) 2003 - 2022

Landslides hazards pose a serious threat to people and infrastructure in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). To develop a comprehensive understanding of the landslides hazards in FSM, the USGS-USAID Landslide Disaster Assistance Team (LDAT) has put together landslide inventories for each state using satellite imagery. Mapping was done using RGB satellite imagery from Maxar, Planet Labs, and

Pesticide persistence in weathered avian droppings

Dataset includes: Bird body weight, Number of seeds dosed per day per bird,amount of pesticide dosed, pesticide residues on seeds, weight of treated seed dosed per day, weight of fecal sample for each sample, residue analyses of fecal samples, the weather conditions during the two weathering periods

Methane emissions associated with bald cypress knees across the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley

Data shows CH4 fluxes from the upper portion of cypress knees across various climate and flooding gradients of the North American Baldcypress Swamp Network in the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley. Climate data in the form of temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and precipitation 3-days leading up to sampling date are also included. There various forms to calculate fluxes using con

Bathymetry and Water-Quality Data of Surface Water Bodies in Cook County, Illinois, 2023

In 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in collaboration with the Cook County Bureau of Technology (BoT), conducted comprehensive hydrographic and water quality surveys, along with activity and disturbance assessments of 58 total waterbodies encompassing lakes, rivers, and canals within Cook County, Illinois. These surveys and assessments describe the bathymetry, water-quality conditions, and

U-series Ages and Elevation Data of Late Pleistocene Corals From the Florida Keys

This data release compiles Uranium-series (U-series) data and descriptive collection information (such as sample/core identifier, location, elevation, etc.) for late Pleistocene coral subsamples from coral-reef cores previously collected throughout the Florida Keys by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers. The samples were collected under scientific research permits from the Florida Keys Natio

Channel Cross Sections of the Nooksack River near North Cedarville, WA, 2017-2021

This data release contains channel cross sections of the Nooksack River near North Cedarville, WA, collected during routine streamgaging and discharge measurement efforts at USGS streamgage 12210700. All cross sections were collected using an acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) from the downstream side of the Highway 542 bridge. Raw ADCP measurement data were processed using a combination of

Seepage-run discharge measurements, May 23, 2024, Waikoloa Stream, Hawai'i

This data release contains a comma-delimited ascii file of seven same-day, discrete discharge measurements made at sites along selected reaches of Waikoloa Stream, Hawai'i on May 23, 2024. These discrete discharge measurements form what is commonly referred to as a “seepage run.” The intent of the seepage run is to quantify the spatial distribution of streamflow along the reach during fair-weather

Major element chemistry of water from Old Faithful Geyser and the Firehole River, Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park

Between April and August 2009 four water samples were collected from the outflow channel of Old Faithful Geyser in the Upper Geyser Bain, Yellowstone National Park. The samples were collected during the main phase of the eruptions when water flow was at maximum rate. In addition, two samples of stream flow were collected in November 2016 from the Firehole River near the U.S. Geological Survey gagi
