Data Release for Prospectivity Mapping for Geologic Hydrogen

This data release contains multiple data layers and describes the processing steps associated with the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1900 "Prospectivity Mapping for Geologic Hydrogen". The data comprise the geologic and geophysical inputs used in support of the U.S. Geological Survey's efforts to create the first map of geologic hydrogen prospectivity within the U.S. The maps are based on our understanding of the geologic hydrogen system model, which includes three primary components: 1) a source of natural hydrogen, 2) a reservoir to store hydrogen in the subsurface, and 3) a competent seal to retain the hydrogen and prevent leakage to the Earth’s surface. Collectively, the data release includes 44 raster files and 2 data tables. In addition to this metadata file, see the larger work of Gelman, Hearon, and Ellis (USGS PP1900) for detailed descriptions of the individual layers used for mapping and the mathematical approach used for risking and modeling.
