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.

Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) Collection 1.2 Annual Land Cover and Land Cover Change Validation Tables (1985-2018) for the Conterminous United States
A validation assessment of Land Cover Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection Collection 1.2 annual land cover products (1985-2018) for the Conterminous United States was conducted with an independently collected reference dataset. Reference data land cover attributes were assigned by trained interpreters for each year of the time series (1984-2018) to a reference sample of 26,971 Landsat resolutio
Farmington Lake Sediment Descriptions, Total Sediment Chemistry, and Batch Experiment Chemistry
These datasets provide information about the physical properties, total sediment chemistry, and batch experiment chemistry (to evaluate element mobility) of sediment cores from the Farmington Lake reservoir in Farmington, NM. The sediment cores were collected in November 2019.
Model Archive Summary for a Suspended-Sediment Concentration Surrogate Regression Model for Station 405219124085601; Mad River Slough near Arcata, CA
Model archive summary (MAS) describing the development of a suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) surrogate regression model for the Mad River Slough near Arcata, CA water quality station (USGS site ID# 405219124085601). A 15-minute SSC record was computed using this regression model for the period of record (03-04-2016 to 09-10-2019). The computed SSC record can be found on NWIS Web at https://w
Model Archive Summary for a Suspended-Sediment Concentration Surrogate Regression Model for Station 404038124131801; Hookton Slough near Loleta, CA
Model archive summary (MAS) describing the development of a suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) surrogate regression model for the Hookton Slough near Loleta, CA water quality station (USGS site ID# 404038124131801). A continuous 15-minute SSC record was computed using this regression model for the period of record (03-04-2016 to 09-10-2019). The computed SSC record can be found on NWIS Web at
Health assessment of invasive northern snakehead in the Potomac River drainage, 2006 - 2017.
Data described herein was collected by USGS personnel and the project funded by USGS. Northern snakehead specimens were collected from the Potomac River and its tributaries by regional natural resource management agencies in the course of their field investigations working with this priority invasive aquatic species. Specimens were provided to USGS for the purpose of conducting health related asse
GSFLOW model to evaluate the effect of groundwater pumpage and climate stresses on the integrated hydrologic system of the Yucaipa subbasin, Yucaipa Valley watershed, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, California
A three-dimensional, GSFLOW model was developed to simulate and quantify the hydrologic system of the Yucaipa subbasin. The model was calibrated to conditions from 1970 to 2014, the period for which data are most complete and reliable. The model was used to (1) quantify the effects of historical and potential water-resource development induced by climate changes and human-related activities, and (
Streamflow regressions and daily mean streamflow estimates for Kootenai River tributaries near Bonners Ferry, Idaho (ver 2.0, January 2023)
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, used streamflow measurements at 14 partial-record sites and related them to nearby USGS real-time streamgages (index sites) to provide daily mean streamflow values at ungaged (partial-record) sites. Daily mean streamflow was estimated by developing a regression relationship between streamflow at each partial-record
Electrical and electromagnetic geophysical surveys at Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam, Chattahoochee, Florida, March 2018
Surface electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), electromagnetic induction (EMI), and self-potential (SP) data were acquired March 9 - 20, 2018 by the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, at the Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam near Chattahoochee, Florida. Eleven ERT profiles were acquired along the right (west) abutment, and immediately downstream, of the conc
Genetic Data from Cooper's Hawks (Accipiter cooperii), North America
This data set describes nuclear microsatellite genotypes derived from six autosomal loci (AgCA222, Age7.1JT, BV13, BV20, NVH206, NVH195-2) in Cooper's Hawks. Samples originated from blood samples collected from live trapped birds.
Measurements of Surfbirds (Calidris virgata), Southcentral Alaska 1997-1999
These morphometric data are in two tables from surfbirds (adults and chicks) captured at two locations in southcentral Alaska, 1997-1999.
North American Grid-Based Offshore Sampling Frames
This sampling frame is a set of grid-based, finite-area frames spanning the offshore areas surrounding Canada, the United States, and Mexico, and is intended for use with the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). NABat is a continental collaboration including state and provincial, federal, and local agencies intended to standardize the collection and storage of bat data. Alaskan and Canad
Clusters of monthly streamflow values with similar temporal patterns at 555 HCDN sites for the period 1981 to 2019
This data release identifies 555 Hydro-Climatic Data Network (HCDN) streamgages in the conterminous United States during the period 1981-2019 which were grouped according to similarity in their temporal patterns of monthly streamflow.
