Assessment of Hydrologic Trends in Pennsylvania Assessment of Hydrologic Trends in Pennsylvania
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR), Bureau of Geological Survey, provides time series trends results using the Mann Kendall family of analyses on select sites across Pennsylvania for baseflow, runoff, groundwater levels, and streamflow percentiles. Trend results for baseflow and runoff at 197...
Data from maps of water-level changes in the High Plains aquifer in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming, predevelopment (about 1950) to 2019 and 2017 to 2019 Data from maps of water-level changes in the High Plains aquifer in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming, predevelopment (about 1950) to 2019 and 2017 to 2019
The High Plains aquifer underlies 111.8 million acres (about 175,000 square miles) in parts of eight States: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. Water-level declines began in parts of the High Plains aquifer soon after the beginning of substantial irrigation with groundwater in the aquifer area (about 1950). This data release contains the...
Continuous laser rangefinder measurements of lava lake elevation and crater filling at the summit of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, 2021-2024 Continuous laser rangefinder measurements of lava lake elevation and crater filling at the summit of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, 2021-2024
The surface elevation of lava lakes is an important parameter that can provide insight on the underlying magma reservoir pressure as well as outgassing dynamics of the magmatic system (Patrick and others 2019a). Lava lake elevation may also be useful in forecasting potentially hazardous eruptions on a volcano’s flanks (Burgi and others 2014; Patrick and others 2015, 2020). Precise...
Repeat Lidar and Orthoimagery of Headwater Streams in the Breitenbush River Basin, Oregon, Summer 2022 Repeat Lidar and Orthoimagery of Headwater Streams in the Breitenbush River Basin, Oregon, Summer 2022
In June and September 2022, NV5 Geospatial collected aerial imagery and near-infrared (NIR) lidar from crewed aircraft over 34 square kilometers of headwater streams in the Breitenbush River Basin in northwestern Oregon. Repeat aerial imagery and NIR lidar data were collected over an area spanning from the northern slope of Triangulation Peak to the mainstem Breitenbush River near the...
Repeat Lidar and Orthoimagery of Headwater Streams in the Donner und Blitzen River Basin, Oregon, Summer 2022 Repeat Lidar and Orthoimagery of Headwater Streams in the Donner und Blitzen River Basin, Oregon, Summer 2022

Elevation models, aerial imagery, LiDAR point clouds (LPCs), vegetation survey, and GPS data collected during uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations at Lower Darby Creek, Darby Township, Pennsylvania, August 28 to September 1, 2023 (ver. 1.1, July 202 Elevation models, aerial imagery, LiDAR point clouds (LPCs), vegetation survey, and GPS data collected during uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations at Lower Darby Creek, Darby Township, Pennsylvania, August 28 to September 1, 2023 (ver. 1.1, July 202
Two DJI M600 small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over various locations within the Lower Darby Creek Superfund Site and the adjacent John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Datasets included natural (RGB) color images, multispectral images, and LiDAR Point Clouds (LPCs). These data were processed to produce high resolution digital...
