Data Visualizations

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.

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.

Intro

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

The Hampton Roads Water Quality Dashboard displays data from 12 water-quality monitoring stations across the cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach. This application provides access to current conditions at each monitoring station and visualize timeseries plots for continuously monitored parameters collected at each monitoring stations.

The Landsat Reprocessing Application allows you to discover scene and tile products that have been changed by reprocessing.

Hawaiian coastal wetlands provide important habitat for endangered waterbirds and socio-cultural resources for Native Hawaiians. Currently, they are degraded by development, sedimentation, and invasive species and, thus, require restoration. Site prioritization represents both an actionable plan for coastal wetland restoration and an alternative protocol for restoration decision-making.

The Geospatial Information Response Team (GIRT) ensures that timely disaster event geospatial data are available for use by emergency responders, land and resource managers, and for scientific analysis. In an emergency and response capacity, the GIRT is responsible for facilitating the coordination, communication, and dissemination of geospatial data and information through the GIRT Event Support

An online application that allows users to search and visualize Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) and its derived products. Users can find lidar, DEM, topobathymetric, and orthorectified radar image (ORI) data. The application uses Entwine Point Tile (EPT) format to help visualize projects in a web-based 3D viewer for quick views of the data. It also allows for cloud processing

The USGS Groundwater Climate Response Network (CRN) is a system of wells and springs selected to monitor the effects of climate variability on groundwater systems nationwide.
