February 2012 workshop jumpstarts the Mekong Fish Monitoring Network [More info]: An international workshop helps to begin collaboration on fish monitoring in southeast Asia.
Flood inundation map library, Fort Kent, Maine [More info]: Severe flooding occurred in northern Maine from April 28 to May 1, 2008, and damage was extensive in the town. Aroostook County was declared a Federal disaster area. Our flood inundation maps were out of date, so we have updated them; this explains how.
Fluvial geomorphology studies in Kansas [More info]: Report of completed studies that have investigated the response of river and stream channels in Kansas to a variety of human-caused and natural disturbances.
Forecast Mekong [More info]: Data and reports about the overall environment in the Mekong river watershed. Includes downloadable remote-sensing data and interactive maps.

Geomorphology and sediment transport -- river mechanics [More info]: Current river mechanics research on particle friction angles of fluvial gravels (data files compressed in BenHex, Winzip and Unix) and Grand Canyon Beach evolution (animation requiring Java 1.0) plus digital elevation files (*.hgx and *.zip files).
Georgia's Stream-Water-Quality Monitoring Network, 2006 [More info]: USGS stream-water-quality monitoring network for Georgia represents an aggregation of smaller networks and individual monitoring stations, with map and link to data.
Historical changes in annual peak flows in Maine and implications for flood-frequency analyses [More info]: Annual peak flows have increased at most rivers in Maine during the last century. What effect does this have on computed peak flows, such as the 100-year flows, that are used for designing bridges and other structures?
