Web Tools
Explore GECSC scientific and data-driven web tools that include data visualizations, digital repositories, and interactive maps with data access and data analysis capabilities.
Geoheritage Sites of the Nation Explorer
Geoheritage lies at the intersection of science and society and is a term applied to significant or unique geologic features representing the values that we as a Nation place on them. These geologic features are recognized for their scientific, educational, cultural, economic, and aesthetic values.
Geologic Stories in Grand Canyon
Take a trip through Grand Canyon with USGS geologists to learn about geologic mapping in this iconic landscape. On the trip, scientists from Arizona, New Mexico, California and Colorado also conducted a series of related research studies to inform the geologic maps and geologic history of Grand Canyon.

Fire In Ice Data Visualizations
Glaciers and ice caps around the world are melting. Deposition of dark aerosols from fire on ice can increase glacier melting. The researchers of this project use ice cores from the Juneau Icefield to show how wildfires in the region are affecting the icefield. Three interactive data visualizations help tell this story.
Intermountain West Seamless Geologic Map Explorer
The Intermountain West Seamless Geologic Map Explorer is an interactive mapping application that hosts surficial and bedrock geologic data layers for a transect from the Rio Grande rift to the Basin and Range.
USGS Science Collaboration Portal for the Colorado River Basin
To help resource managers plan and mitigate long-term drought impacts in the Colorado River Basin, the USGS has launched a platform that brings together science, data, and mapping and analytical tools from across the basin in a central location.

USGS Geochron Database Explorer
This Web Application is a tool for viewing, exploring, and downloading the "USGS Geochron: A Database of Geochronological and Thermochronological Dates and Data" Data Release.
USGS Wildfire Hazard and Risk Assessment Clearinghouse
This online tool was designed to help identify which wildfire hazard and risk assessments are available across the United States. It provides information about available risk assessments and links to assessment data when publicly available.
USGS 3D Geologic Model Inventory
This Webapp can be used to visualize and explore the inventory of published USGS 3D geological models.
U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) Viewer
The U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) Viewer lets you visualize, inspect, interact, and download the most current onshore and offshore turbine locations in the United States, corresponding facility information, and turbine technical specifications through a dynamic web application. The Viewer provides direct access to data and information stored within the USWTDB.
Regional Research Web Cameras
Access to regional web cameras located in the desert southwest and arctic Alaska. Desert cameras capture and document regional climate variability with a specific focus on local and regional dust emission and transport. The artic Alaska cameras capture and document regional climate variability with a specific focus on snow cover and permafrost feature evolution.
