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.

Paired Watershed Data for Pleasant Valley Creek and Ridgeway Branch, Wisconsin 2006-2015
This data release includes three sets of data collected for a farm- and field-focused phosphorus reduction study in south-central, Wisconsin, USA. Paired samples collected in the control and treatment watershed analyzed for suspended sediment, total phosphorus, and total dissolved phosphorus during the calibration and post-treatment phases are presented. Samples were collected in fall 2006 through
Data Release of OSL, 14C, and U-series age data supporting geologic mapping along the South Platte River corridor in northeastern Colorado
In conjunction with geologic mapping of four 7.5′ quadrangles along the South Platte River corridor in northeastern Colorado (Masters, Orchard, Weldona, and Fort Morgan), geochronology samples were collected and analyzed using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), radiocarbon (14C), or U-series methods to provide age control for mapping units. This section of river corridor is largely covered b
Round goby eDNA survey, evaluation, and laboratory data in Lakes Michigan and Huron 2016-2017
Data included are from a series of field sample collections from Lakes Michigan and Huron, and laboratory mesocosms targeting the round goby fish (Neogobius melanostomus). The round goby is a benthic fish that has heavily invaded four of the five Laurentian Great Lakes. Because it inhabits a variety of substrates, including coastal breakwaters, traditional methods (e.g., trawling, trapping) are in
Geospatial Bathymetry Dataset and Elevation-Area-Capacity Table for Schoharie Reservoir, 2014
From 2013 to 2015, bathymetric surveys of New York Citys six West of Hudson reservoirs (Ashokan, Cannonsville, Neversink, Pepacton, Rondout, and Schoharie) were performed to provide updated capacity tables and bathymetric maps. Depths were surveyed with a single-beam echo sounder and real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) along planned transects at predetermined intervals for each

2017 True Color Mosaic, Emiquon Preserve and Spunky Bottoms
The true color aerial imagery contained in this mosaic was collected on September 19, 2017 with a Phase One iXU-R 180 aerial camera system. The mission was flown at approximately 1,200 meters above ground level resulting in a ground sample distance of 0.15 meters/pixel (6"/pixel). The area of interest is the Emiquon Preserve and the mosaic is for the purpose of habitat monitoring.
Escherichia coli data and continuous hydrologic and physical parameters at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage sites on the Little Blue River and its tributaries in Independence, MO
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release includes Escherichia coli (E. coli) data and also continuous hydrologic and physical parameters at USGS streamgage sites on the Little Blue River and its tributaries in Independence, MO, during the 2010-2016 recreation seasons. The U.S. Geological Survey, in coordination with the City of Independence, collected the data for use in regression models t
UAS imagery acquisition for McFaddin NWR and J.D. Murphree WMA acquired fall 2017
To document current marsh conditions, imagery was acquired at 350 feet using unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for 6 separate study locations. Three Sites are healthy marsh and three sites are degraded marshes. For each study site, ground control markers were established and surveyed in using Real Time Kinematic (RTK) survey equipment. The imagery collected will be processed to produce a mosaics for e
