Data Visualizations

VALL recently received National Park Service (NPS) funding to restore the Sulphur Springs area to pre-mining conditions. Restoration will include removing the old buildings and debris, plugging geothermal wells and grading the mine overburden piles and other disturbed earth to a more natural angle of repose, followed by revegetation,

This Web Tool explores the count of water bottling facilities across the U.S.

Facility types include bottled water facilities, breweries, distilleries, ice facilities, soft drink manufacturing plants, and wineries.

Reported volumes withdrawn (water use) for bottled water facilities are also explored for the small number of facilities for which data are currently available. 

This tool shows the presence of aquatic chlorophyll-a in select waterbodies. Note: This tool indicates the presence of aquatic chlorophyll-a and should not be used to determine if a toxic cyanobacterial bloom (harmful algal bloom) is present. 

An interactive StoryMap presented during the USGS webinar 'Landsat: Products and Services from the USGS.'

This web application, a summarized compilation of central Colorado water chemistry datasets from USGS and EPA, identifies legacy mine sites within the headwaters of central Colorado that could be good candidates for future remediation work based on stream metal concentrations, the number and complexity of mine features, and the potential for high natural background metal concentrations.

This geonarrative is an interactive online presentation of the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center's data collection efforts related to Hurricane Ida. This geonarrative includes a summary of the storm in Pennsylvania, USGS data collection methods, embedded interactive maps of flood extents in 5 southeastern Pennsylvania localities, and visual depictions of the storm’s impact across the state.

This data visualization and exploration tool was designed as part of the USGS WMA Proxies Project. It provides surface water concentration data associated with 12 elements of concern (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, Se, U, Zn) in a geospatial framework spanning three hydrologic basins (Delaware River, Illinois River, and the Upper Colorado River).

This project contains data collected by the Argos System from satellite transmitters attached to 53 Black Scoter, 42 Blue-winged Teal, 167 Common Eider, 53 Emperor Geese, 85 Long-tailed Duck, 129 Northern Pintail, 210 Spectacled Eider, 14 Steller's Eider (data collected through USFWS funding), 25 Surf Scoter, 50 Tundra Swan, and 17 Whooper Swan. Birds were tracked across the US, Asia and Russia. 

This project contains data collected by the Argos System from satellite transmitters attached to 9 Marbled Godwit and 32 Whimbrel. Birds were tracked along coastal and inland regions of Alaska, the contiguous United States, and portions of Central and South America.

This project contains data collected by the Argos System from satellite transmitters attached to 23 Common Murre, 36 Kittlitz's Murrelets, 1 Larus species, 8 Herring Gull, 9 Glaucous-winged Gull, 19 Glaucous Gull, 19 Northern Fulmar, 8 Pelagic Cormorant, 1 Red-faced Cormorant, 11 Thick-billed Murre, and 2 Tufted Puffin. Birds were tracked along Alaska, the contiguous US, parts of Asia and Russia.

This project contains data collected by the Argos System from 921 satellite transmitters attached to adult Pacific walruses in the Bering and Chukchi Seas, in U.S. and Russian waters, 1988-2019.

This project contains data collected by the Argos System from satellite transmitters attached to 12 Pacific Loon (data collected through Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center funding), 47 Red-throated Loon, and 85 Yellow-billed Loon. Birds were tracked along coastal regions of Alaska, northern Canada, the contiguous United States, and portions of Russia and Asia.
