A dryland river transformed--the Little Colorado, 1936-2010 [More info]: We mapped substantial migration of the river channel between the City of Winslow and the Navajo Nation community of Leupp; in a human lifetime the river has moved more than a mile across its valley floor.
Canoeing North Dakota rivers [More info]: Links to streamflow, stage, pictures, maps, river descriptions, and general information for canoeing on North Dakota's rivers. Files are in PDF format.
Sediment load from major rivers into Puget Sound and its adjacent waters [More info]: Sediment from rivers has both beneficial and detrimental effects on ecosystems and human activities around Puget Sound. We explain where the sediment comes from, how it is transported, and the nature of the data that we can use to understand it.
The rivers of Mississippi [More info]: Colored maps and geographic descriptions of major river basins in the state of Mississippi.
A promising tool for subsurface permafrost mapping-An application of airborne geophysics from the Yukon River Basin, Alaska [More info]: Airborne electromagnetic surveying is used to estimate the character of the permafrost by measuring and monitoring the electrical resistivity, which is affected by lithology, temperature, water, and ice.
Acid Rain in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia [More info]: Explains acidity and acid rain and how it affects aquatic organisms. Describes the effect of acid rain on this national park, identifying areas that are at greater or lesser risk from acid rain.
An Overview of Historical Channel Adjustment and Selected Hydraulic Values in the Lower Sabine and Lower Brazos River Basins, Texas and Louisiana [More info]: How has the channel shape and path changed in response to reservoirs and other human disturbances affecting the streamflow?
Atchafalaya & Mississippi River Deltas study: a tale of two deltas [More info]: Project of the Gulf of Mexico Integrated Science program that evaluates the transport and sedimentation of contaminates through the Mississippi River and Atchafalaya River delta to the near-shore Gulf of Mexico. Includes aerial photographs.
California Water-Quality Assessment [More info]: Results of activities in California conducted under the National Water-Quality Assessment Program (NAWQA): maps, publications and data.
Characterization of Fish Creek, Teton County, Wyoming, 2004-08 [More info]: Preliminary results of hydrologic and biological sampling confirm anecdotal reports that this stream shows unusually high algal growth due to elevated nutrients, probably from groundwater.
