Providing the longest continuous science record of the Earth’s surface from space.

The Arctic Ocean is undergoing dramatic sea ice reduction and warming conditions. The researchers of this project use microfossils from sediment cores taken in the Beaufort Sea to rebuild the climate patterns, sea ice and circulation, and ecosystems from the past 2000 years. Three interactive data visualizations help tell this story.

Glaciers and ice caps around the world are melting. Deposition of dark aerosols from fire on ice can increase glacier melting. The researchers of this project use ice cores from the Juneau Icefield to show how wildfires in the region are affecting the icefield. Three interactive data visualizations help tell this story.

The USGS Fiber Optic Seismology interactive map provides access to metadata from Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) experiments.

This web mapping application depicts the 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM) Data Collaboration Announcement (DCA) acquisition projects from fiscal year (FY) 2024 to present as well as the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) projects from FY15-23.

The USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Registration System (ERS) consolidates user profile information and authentication for EROS based web services.

Two continuous streamgages were installed in September 2019 during the first phase of this project and are currently in operation. Additional streamgages were installed in August 2020 and September 2021, followed by the installation of two additional streamgages in April 2024. These streamgages provide the Blackfeet Water Department and others with important water quantity information.

While most of the residents of the Blackfeet Reservation rely on groundwater for domestic, stock, and other uses, little is known about the quantity and quality of the groundwater. The initial phase of the groundwater investigation includes an inventory of existing wells and springs on the reservation. This is the first step to a groundwater resources assessment on the Blackfeet Reservation.

Between 3 to 9 inches of rain fell within 48 hours across the state of Vermont over four days in July 2023 causing significant flooding and millions of dollars in damage. The high amount of rain caused several rivers to peak at record levels, in some cases exceeding records set during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. This dashboard compares the high-water marks of the two storms.

The PeakFQ application performs peak-flow frequency analysis to evaluate flood frequency on rivers and streams.

This data visualization displays the results of distribution models for 130 snake and lizard species in western North America under six time-by-climate scenarios.

The Fairfax Water Quality Dashboard provides access to water quality data from 6 intensive monitoring stations and 15 trend monitoring stations in Fairfax County.
