Quality-Assurance and Quality-Control Data for Discrete Water-Quality Samples Collected in McHenry County, Illinois, 2020 Quality-Assurance and Quality-Control Data for Discrete Water-Quality Samples Collected in McHenry County, Illinois, 2020
In June and July of 2020, 45 groundwater wells in McHenry County, Illinois, were sampled for water quality (field properties, major ions, nutrients, and trace metals) and 12 wells were sampled for contaminants of emerging concern (pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and wastewater indicator compounds). Quality-assurance and quality-control samples were collected during the June and July 2020...
Groundwater Quality Data from the Lower Hudson, Chemung, and Eastern Lake Ontario River Basins, New York, 2018 Groundwater Quality Data from the Lower Hudson, Chemung, and Eastern Lake Ontario River Basins, New York, 2018
From July through November 2018, 48 environmental samples and four quality-control samples were collected throughout the Lower Hudson, Chemung, and Eastern Lake Ontario River Basins.

Time Series of Aerial Imagery derived Structure from Motion Products for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wildlife Refuges in Coastal Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, 2019 - 2022 Time Series of Aerial Imagery derived Structure from Motion Products for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wildlife Refuges in Coastal Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, 2019 - 2022
Aerial imagery acquired using a fixed wing aircraft fitted with Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) GPS, was processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques to produce high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) point clouds, orthomosaic images, and digital elevation models (DEMs). This dataset, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) MD-DE-DC Water Science Center...
