Seagrass map, Cat Island and Ship Island, Mississippi, 2011

This product depicts the spatial coverage of seagrass beds from 0.5-m color-infrared orthoimagery for Cat Island and Ship Island, Mississippi from early fall of 2011. Specifically, the map includes presence and absence of seagrass beds within a potential seagrass extent that was based on topobathymetric data. A minimum mapping unit of 4 square meters was used for this mapping effort.

Altitude of selected beds and inferred faults in boreholes as identified from geophysical logs at Valmont TCE Site, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania

This dataset contains altitudes of selected beds and inferred faults in boreholes within an area of interest determined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the Valmont TCE Superfund site in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The selected beds correspond to sections of borehole geophysical logs with elevated natural gamma activity as described in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-F

Collection of Analytical Data for the Pennsylvania Groundwater Monitoring Network

This dataset contains all publicly-available analytical data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at each location within the Pennsylvania Groundwater Monitoring Network (GWMN) from 2015 to present. Additional analytical data will be appended following the conclusion of each sampling season, and all data is made publicly available in the online National Water Inventory System (NWIS). Thi

Pennsylvania Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network Data Exploration Tool

The Pennsylvania Groundwater Monitoring Network (GWMN) is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey Pennsylvania Water Science Center and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP) that samples ambient groundwater quality wells throughout the State. Data collection has occurred since 2015 for major ions, trace metals, nutrients, and organic compounds; most sites

National Assessment of Hurricane-Induced Coastal Erosion Hazards: Puerto Rico

These datasets contain information on the probabilities of hurricane-induced erosion (collision, inundation, and overwash) for each 100-meter (m) section of the Puerto Rico open-ocean coastline for category 1-5 hurricanes. The analysis is based on a storm-impact scaling model (Sallenger, 2000; https://www.jstor.org/stable/4300099) that uses observations of beach morphology combined with sophistica

Water Temperature Mapping of the Skykomish, Snoqualmie, and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers—Longitudinal Stream Temperature Profiles and Airborne Thermal Infrared and RGB Imagery Mosaics

The Skykomish and Snoqualmie River basins in western Washington provide spawning, rearing, and migration habitat for several salmonid species, including Endangered Species Act-listed Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout. The production, abundance, distribution, and the health of fish and other aquatic life is strongly influenced by water temperature, which affects their physiology and b

Data release for Geochemistry of the Cretaceous Mowry Shale in the Wind River Basin, Wyoming

This Data Release contains data associated with the journal article "Geochemistry of the Cretaceous Mowry Shale in the Wind River Basin, Wyoming";. Data include bulk organic geochemistry, major and trace element geochemistry, mineralogy, extractable organic matter composition, extractable biomarkers, and organic stable carbon isotope analyses.

Flood-Frequency Data for Select Sites in the Esopus Creek Watershed, New York

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains batch formatted annual peak streamflow data (PkFlows_AllSites.txt) for the respective periods of record (through the 2020 or 2021 water year) for seven USGS streamgages in the upper Esopus Creek watershed in upstate New York. This data release also contains batch formatted specification (PkFlows_AllSites.psf) and output (PEAKFLOWS_ALLSITES.P

Bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and benthic habitat offshore of Point Buchon, California (ver. 1.1, January 2024)

Surveys offshore of Point Buchon, California, were conducted to map surficial geology and benthic habitat as part of the USGS California Seafloor Mapping Program, a collaboration with California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These data are intended to provide regional bathymetric information in California State waters for offs

Online survey responses from users of the Joint Fire Science Program Fire Science Exchange Network from February 2021

The USGS, on behalf of the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP), conducted an evaluation of the Fire Science Exchange Network (FSEN), which connects wildland fire scientists and practitioners through 15 individual exchanges across the United States to help address complex wildfire needs and challenges. This data set is from an online survey sent to more than 16,000 exchange network users during Febru

A quantitative survey of freshwater mussels of the Buffalo National River, Arkansas from 2019 to 2021

Results from a quantitative survey of mussel assemblages from 12 long-term monitoring sites over 153 river kilometers of the Buffalo National River 2019-2021.

Groundwater database for a regional assessment of groundwater salinity variations and sources in the Indio Subbasin of the Coachella Valley, California

Groundwater salinity presents a challenge to the management of water quality in the Indio subbasin of the Coachella Valley where a growing population is dependent primarily on groundwater for drinking water. The U.S. Geological survey, along with the Colorado River Basin regional water quality control board, are working to provide an assessment of salinity trends and sources in the Indio subbasin
