This video is an overview of the USGS New England Water Science Center's research and monitoring efforts to support the water issue needs of New England and the Nation.

This video is an introduction of the USGS Northeast Region's science efforts to support society's evolving needs through its engaged and diverse workforce.

B-roll video of flooding in Augusta, Maine from monitoring location camera on the Kennebec River.

Groundwater that drains to surface water through seeps and springs is generally referred to as “discharge.” Groundwater discharge is a primary component of stream base flow, or streamflow that occurs between storms, periods of snowmelt runoff, and periods of quick soil drainage.

The East Branch Dead Creek overflowed its banks after an intense 2-day storm caused flooding in Vermont in July 2023.

A USGS Hydrologic Technician manually measures the water level of Otter Creek in Center Rutland, Vermont one day after a torrential storm that led to devastating flash flooding in the state.

Flow is a critical variable in streams since it affects aquatic and riparian biological communities and human uses of water (i.e., recreation, public water supply, etc.). Flow regimes are changing due to anthropogenic (e.g., water withdrawals) and natural impacts (e.g., extreme weather events).

The USGS Storm Event dashboard allows users to interact with and visualize high-water mark and storm sensor data points, and ​estimated flood extents from the January and March 2018 Nor’easter storm events. Users can also view the USGS 100-year Stillwater analysis​and compare these flood extents to the current FEMA national flood hazard layers.

This lesson will cover Stream Flow Estimates in NHDPlus High Resolution. Enhanced Runoff Method, or EROM is the method used to compute estimates of the mean annual flow for the NHDPlus flowline features in the NHDPlus HR network.

This lesson will cover additional lidar point cloud processing and analysis features in ArcGIS Pro. If necessary, please review lesson 10b1 for guidance with importing LAS files, filtering, and visualizing lidar point cloud data in ArcGIS Pro.

This video tutorial shows how to use the National Map’s 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Elevation web service in ArcMap. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to add the Dynamic Elevation Web Coverage Service to ArcMap, enable raster processing templates, and retrieve a spot elevation.

An introduction to the New England Water Science Center's Director and his vision for the Center.
 

In this lesson, you will learn about the lidar products available through the 3D Elevation Program (which is abbreviated as “3DEP”). The lesson will introduce 3DEP, discuss the lidar data available, and where to find the data.

In this lesson we will examine a brief history of the USGS topographic map, Introduce US Topo maps and their content, discuss the production and future goals of US Topo, and learn how to access these maps for viewing or printing.
