Fishway Structure Data in the Eastern United States
This geonarrative represents a compilation of fishways, and their associated characteristics, collected by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) member states at the request of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
USGS Assessments of Stream Health Condition in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Understanding Habitat Condition
Interactive Catchment Explorer (ICE)
Interactive Catchment Explorer (ICE) is a web-based data visualization tool for exploring complex, multivariate environmental datasets and model results. It is designed to help researchers and resource managers identify spatial patterns in hydro-ecological conditions and to prioritize locations for restoration or further study.
EcoSHEDS
EcoSHEDS is a collection of Spatial Hydro-Ecological Data Systems (SHEDS) designed to improve our understanding of stream ecosystems. The goal of EcoSHEDS is to provide a series of user-friendly tools for gaining insight and supporting transparent research, management, and decision-making of hydro-ecological resources.
Flow Photo Explorer
The Flow Photo Explorer is an integrated database, machine learning, and data visualization platform for monitoring streamflow and other hydrologic conditions using timelapse images.
PFAS in US Tapwater Interactive Dashboard
Drinking-water quality and potential exposures to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the point-of-use (tapwater) are a rising concern in the United States (US).

North American Breeding Bird Survey Results and Analysis
This website provides visualizations of population change for North American birds using data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS). The BBS is analyzed for a "core" area (contiguous United States and southern Canada, results available from 1966-present), and for an "expanded" survey area (including portions of Alaska and northern Canada with results from 1993-present).
National Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) Framework
A geonarrative detailing the National Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) Framework, a structure for interagency coordination to support early detection biosurveillance and rapid response to invasive species.
Drop by Drop
US Geological Survey research on contaminants in drinking water across the US.
Explore and Request Data from the BBL
Explore bird banders’ data and learn how many birds have been banded and encountered since 1960. Banding and encounter data are available for request for research purposes. Discover specific banding and encounter data, the number of birds banded per species group, or learn about the lab’s species longevity records.
Avian Influenza Geonarrative
The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area provides science to understand wildlife diseases, including avian influenza (AI). Avian influenza viruses occur naturally in wild birds such as ducks, geese, swans, and gulls. These viruses generally do not cause illness in wild birds but they can be highly pathogenic and cause illness and death in poultry and wildlife. Learn more with this geonarrative.
