River Channel Survey Data, Redwood Creek, California, 1953-2013 River Channel Survey Data, Redwood Creek, California, 1953-2013
Dr. Richard Janda of the USGS began a channel monitoring program in Redwood Creek in northern coastal California in 1973. The USGS continued this work through 2013, when the Research Geologist, Dr. Mary Madej retired. This effort produced 40 years of channel change data in rivers that were disrupted by severe erosion following timber harvest of old-growth redwood forests, a portion of...
Magnetotelluric Data from the San Andreas Fault, Parkfield CA, 1990 Magnetotelluric Data from the San Andreas Fault, Parkfield CA, 1990
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC) collaborated with the USGS Data at Risk (DaR) team to preserve and release a subset of magnetotelluric data from the San Andreas Fault in Parkfield, California. The San Andreas Fault data were collected by the Branch of Geophysics, a precursor to the now GGGSC, between 1989 and 1994. The...
USGS Southwest Repeat Photography Collection: Kanab Creek, southern UT and northern AZ, 1872-2010 USGS Southwest Repeat Photography Collection: Kanab Creek, southern UT and northern AZ, 1872-2010
The USGS Southwest Repeat Photography Collection (Collection), formerly named the Desert Laboratory Repeat Photography Collection, is now housed by the Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) in Flagstaff, Arizona. It contains images from the late 1800s to mid-2000s, and was assembled over decades by now retired USGS scientists Drs. Robert H. Webb and Raymond M. Turner. There are 80...
Bathythermograph Data, Lake Michigan, 1954 Bathythermograph Data, Lake Michigan, 1954
In 1954 researchers at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center conducted 11 research cruises on Lake Michigan during which 779 bathythermographs were cast to collect temperature profile data (temperature at depth). Bathythermographs of that era recorded water pressure and temperature data by mechanically etching them as a curve on a glass slide. Data was collected from the glass slide by...
National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) 2015 Human Disturbance Data for Alaska linked to HUC12 watersheds National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) 2015 Human Disturbance Data for Alaska linked to HUC12 watersheds
This CSV file contains landscape factors representing anthropogenic disturbances to stream habitats summarized within 6th level Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC12) watersheds of the Watershed Boundary Dataset. The source datasets compiled and attributed to spatial units were identified as being: (1) meaningful for assessing fluvial fish habitat; (2) consistent across the entire study area in...
GAP/LANDFIRE National Terrestrial Ecosystems 2011 GAP/LANDFIRE National Terrestrial Ecosystems 2011
The U.S. Geological Survey Gap Analysis Program (GAP) National Terrestrial Ecosystems - Ver 3.0 is a 2011 update of the National Gap Analysis Program Land Cover Data - Version 2.2 for the conterminous U.S. The GAP National Terrestrial Ecosystems - Version 3.0 represents a highly thematically detailed land cover map of the U.S. The map legend includes types described by NatureServe's...
