The USGS Hydrography Webinar Series shares success stories from users, provides information on The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and other related products, and provides a forum for users to learn more about Hydrography-related topics.

This new global geologic map of Mars depicts the most thorough representation of the "Red Planet's" surface. This map provides a framework for continued scientific investigation of Mars as the long-range target for human space exploration. Note: This video has been released into the public domain by the U.S.

This video, narrated by USGS scientist Brad Reed, provides a brief tutorial on the use of the USGS LandCarbon Viewing tool.

A presentation by Dr. Collin Homer, USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS), reporting the current status, future plans, and applications examples of the National Land Cover Database 2011 (NLCD 2011). The data in NLCD 2011 are completely integrated with those of previous versions.

This Webinar is an opportunity for USGS' NGTOC to expose the geospatial data, services, and products available via TNM to developers and user communities.

Video presents geospatial capabilities in ScienceBase, including file handling, inline viewing, generated services, as well as, explanation of technologies and databases behind ScienceBase.

Demonstration of the GIS capabilities in ScienceBase, focusing on the uploading of an ESRI service definition file and the creation of an ArcGIS REST service, and how to consume that REST service in outside software applications.

Demonstration of GIS capabilities in ScienceBase, focusing on the capabilities of uploading shapefile and raster formats and also the consumption of the open source GIS formats that are created as a result of that.

This video is a part of the Climate Change Science and Management Webinar Series, hosted by the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center and the FWS National Conservation Training Center.

Brian Pellerin, member of the Powell Center Dissolved Organic Matter Transported by Rivers Working Group, discusses the Working Group's activities in a seminar at the Fort Collins Science Center. The original seminar was approximately 55 minutes in length. This video provides a five and a half minute synopsis of the presentation.

The Geo Data Portal (GDP) was developed with support from the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC) in response to the wide practice in environmental modeling of accessing and processing climate model data.

Teresa Ramos reflects on her internship with the USGS & applying for the Gates Millennium Scholarship. Teresa applied for an internship at the California Water Science Center for the Summer of 2011.

The National Elevation Dataset (NED) is the primary elevation data product produced and distributed by the USGS National 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). The NED provides seamless raster elevation data of the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the island territories.

Animation of a rotating globe of Jupiter's moon Io, with a geologic map superimposed over a global color mosaic. The 51-second animation begins as a global color mosaic image of the moon, then at 28 seconds, it displays the geologic map overlain on the mosaic.

US Topo is the next generation of topographic maps from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Arranged in the familiar 7.5-minute quadrangle format, digital US Topo maps are designed to look and feel (and perform) like the traditional paper topographic maps for which the USGS is so well known.
