Data Visualizations

In Fiscal Year 2022 (October 2021-September 2022), the National and Regional CASCs worked closely with partners to accomplish a multitude of science-based achievements!

We prioritize equity and inclusion at all levels of the organization and aspire to create and maintain a collaborative, flexible, and fair culture. Leave no one behind: every person is unique and has unique contributions.

The purpose of this database is to provide a publicly available and spatially referenced national dataset of natural gas geochemistry.

The database is designed to be a convenient resource for any member of the public to easily access source rock data from across the Gulf Coast region, circumventing the need for extensive, time-consuming literature searches.

The dataset was created to provide documented orphaned well data to decision makers, as well as researchers, and other interested parties in a publicly available online format.

The Land Product Characterization System (LPCS) has the capability to trend system characterizations for various sensors, providing users the ability to do comparative analysis of satellite data and products. This resource has been developed and is managed by the USGS Requirements, Capabilities and Analysis for Earth Observation (RCA-EO) team.

The Amphibian and Reptile Species Distribution Explorer provides information about herptile distributions and species richness in an easy-to-understand and accessible format for scientists and natural resource managers, interested landowners, citizen scientists, and anyone interested in amphibians and reptiles.

The U.S. Geological Survey collects long-term hydrologic data and conducts scientific research within Long Island Sound and its watershed. This geonarrative summarizes the history, features and the ecological and societal importance of the Long Island Sound and its watershed. It also discusses the ongoing challenges that threaten the Sound’s environmental health. 

On February 6, 2023, a M 7.8 earthquake occurred in southern Turkey near the northern border of Syria. This earthquake was followed about 9 hours later by a M 7.5 earthquake approximately 90 km to the north. This interactive geonarrative describes the tectonic setting in the region, past seismicity in the area, and details of the earthquake rupture.

Groundwater levels in layered aquifer systems like the Virginia Eastern Shore are often monitored using wells in multiple aquifers at the same location. Colors in the simplified cross-section illustration below correspond to the circles representing wells on the map. The list of monitoring-well layers can be used to control the map display of wells for individual aquifers. 

USGS is helping identify potential locations in Pennsylvania where additional or updated water-level data may be needed during or after major storm events. Pre-identification of these locations supports expedited decision-making for site selection, resulting in safer and more timely installation of flood monitoring instruments.
