Interactive Map: Virginia Water-Monitoring Sites
The Virginia Water-Monitoring-Sites Mapper is an interactive map of Virginia water monitoring-site locations from the USGS National Water Information System. It provides access to surface water, groundwater, and water quality monitoring data for active sites.
Interactive Map: West Virginia Water-Monitoring Sites
The West Virginia Water-Monitoring-Sites Mapper is an interactive map of West Virginia water monitoring-site locations from the USGS National Water Information System. It provides access to surface water, groundwater, and water quality monitoring data for active sites.
Interactive Map: GIS-based landscape analysis to identify sources of endocrine disrupting chemicals
Scientists refined the existing national-scale "De facto Reuse Incidence in our Nation's Consumable Supply" (DRINCS) model for the Shenandoah River watershed. The model, complemented by field measurements, provides a screening tool to understand human and wildlife exposure to toxicants and pathogens associated with the incidental reuse of treated wastewater in the watershed.
Interactive Map: West Virginia Real-Time Precipitation Network
This interactive map shows current and cumulative rainfall total for precipitation sites in West Virginia and provides a real-time precipitation radar overlay from the National Weather Service.
Interactive Map: Virginia Real-Time Precipitation Network
This interactive map shows current and cumulative rainfall total for precipitation sites in Virginia and provides a real-time precipitation radar overlay from the National Weather Service.
iCoast
Help scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey annotate aerial photographs with keyword tags to identify changes to the coast after extreme storms.
Geologic Map of Alaska
This is an interactive version of the Alaska geologic map database which allows a user to view and access many features of the database and map through a standard web browser. In other words, there is no need for or knowledge of specialized GIS software.
GLRI Urban Stormwater Monitoring: Assessing stormwater reduction using green infrastructure (story map)
The GLRI Urban Stormwater Monitoring effort brings together the expertise of the USGS with local and national partners to assess the ability of green infrastructure to reduce stormwater runoff in Great Lakes urban areas. This story map discusses the problem with stormwater, the potential benefits and challenges of green infrastructure, and how this effort is evaluating its effectiveness.
Fog Research: Network and Sites (FRNS)
Oahu Tsunami Evacuation Dashboard
Tsunami waves created by earthquakes far from Hawai’i arrive hours later along Hawaiian shorelines but can be difficult to escape if everyone uses their cars to evacuate. Working with the Hawai’i Emergency Management Agency, researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) used computer modeling to identify areas where people should be able to evacuate on foot in less than 15 minutes.
Nowcast Beach Status
NowCast – A daily nowcast of recreational water quality conditions
Nowcast predicts water quality conditions at select beach swimming areas in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Predictions are only posted during the beach swimming season in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
