Data Access Tools

Quality photographs of plant species are rare on the internet, often difficult to find, and are generally copyrighted, preventing them from being used by government agencies and non-government organizations, academics and the general public.

The USGS Core Library and Data Center website enables users to search for and access digital images of rock samples primarily collected on the NNSS. Users can search for rock-sample images by specific NNSS area and site name.

This web page displays groundwater-level data for selected wells monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in and near the Duwamish River valley, King County, Washington. These data are part of a project to better understand the geology and groundwater in and near the Duwamish River valley and how groundwater may contribute to flooding in the valley.

Since 2019, the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center has been cooperating with York County, Pennsylvania to implement in-stream monitoring and water-quality sampling to compute, in real time, the concentration, loads, and yields of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and suspended sediment for 6 major watersheds in the County.

The Walker Basin Hydro Mapper web application provides a basin-wide view of real-time streamflow and reservoir storage capacity for the Walker River Basin in Nevada and California.

The Invasive Carp Open Data Hub is a platform for exploring and accessing USGS data, tools, applications, and publications related to invasive carp research and management.

A web-based interactive map that combines the national landslide inventory compilation with the national landslide susceptibility map. This searchable map integrates contributions from various local, state, and federal agencies and offers links to the original digital inventory files for more detailed information.

USGS, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP), has released a geonarrative detailing the sampling of a network of surface water sites across Pennsylvania.

The National Water Availability Assessment Data Companion (NWDC) delivers model-based estimates of water supply and demand.

Web based application to compare, on a real-time basis, estimated dissolved-solids concentration and load as a surrogate for water-quality conditions in the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek in Colorado and determine whether future water-quality conditions are significantly different from background conditions.

Streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs are important natural resources for irrigation, public supply, wetlands and wildlife. Excess precipitation that flows into these sources is called runoff, and it's an important drought indicator. The California Water Science Center tracks both monthly and annual runoff.

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