USGS Wildland Fire Science: an Overview USGS Wildland Fire Science: an Overview
This is a Story Map that provides a broad overview of the research performed at USGS that is relevant to the field of wildland fire science.
Landsat ARD Tile Conversion Tool Landsat ARD Tile Conversion Tool
The Landsat Analysis Ready Data (ARD) Tile Conversion Tool converts a single Landsat WRS-2 path/row or latitude/longitude coordinates into the corresponding Landsat ARD tile, displays it on the map, and lists them below the map.
The HayWired Scenario: An Urban Earthquake in a Connected World - A Geonarrative The HayWired Scenario: An Urban Earthquake in a Connected World - A Geonarrative
What might it be like the next time the Hayward Fault has a large earthquake? A geonarrative and related imagery examines a hypothetical earthquake, the magnitude 7.0 HayWired earthquake scenario.
Mineral Deposits of the Midcontinent Rift System Mineral Deposits of the Midcontinent Rift System
USGS interactive Story Map describing the Mineral Deposits of the Midcontinent Rift System.
Interactive Map: Estimating Drought Streamflow Probabilities for Virginia Streams Interactive Map: Estimating Drought Streamflow Probabilities for Virginia Streams
Maximum likelihood logistic regression is used to estimate drought probabilities for selected Virginia rivers and streams 5 to 11 months in advance. Hydrologic drought streamflow probabilities for summer months are provided as functions of streamflows during the previous winter months. This application allows the display and query of these drought streamflow probabilities for Virginia streams.
Interactive Map: Virginia Water-Monitoring Sites Interactive Map: Virginia Water-Monitoring Sites
The Virginia Water-Monitoring-Sites Mapper is an interactive map of Virginia water monitoring-site locations from the USGS Water Data for the Nation. It provides access to surface water, groundwater, and water quality monitoring data for active sites.
Interactive Map: West Virginia Water-Monitoring Sites Interactive Map: West Virginia Water-Monitoring Sites
The West Virginia Water-Monitoring-Sites Mapper is an interactive map of West Virginia water monitoring-site locations from the USGS Water Data for the Nation. It provides access to surface water, groundwater, and water quality monitoring data for active sites.
Interactive Map: GIS-based landscape analysis to identify sources of endocrine disrupting chemicals Interactive Map: GIS-based landscape analysis to identify sources of endocrine disrupting chemicals
Scientists refined the existing national-scale "De facto Reuse Incidence in our Nation's Consumable Supply" (DRINCS) model for the Shenandoah River watershed. The model, complemented by field measurements, provides a screening tool to understand human and wildlife exposure to toxicants and pathogens associated with the incidental reuse of treated wastewater in the watershed.

Measuring the July 2016 flood in northern Wisconsin and the Bad River Reservation Measuring the July 2016 flood in northern Wisconsin and the Bad River Reservation
On July 11-12, 2016, severe thunderstorms hit northern Wisconsin, resulting in widespread flooding. Immediately following the flood, the USGS and the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians began collecting evidence of peak flood levels. USGS scientists used these high-water marks, along with streamflow and lake level, to reconstruct the extent and depth of flood inundation.
GLRI Edge-of-Field Monitoring (geonarrative) GLRI Edge-of-Field Monitoring (geonarrative)
The GLRI Edge-of-Field Monitoring project focuses on identifying and reducing agricultural sources of excess nutrients which can threaten the health of the Great Lakes. This geonarrative details the basics of edge-of-field monitoring (EOF), explores EOF applications, shows USGS is working collaboratively with our partners, and discusses how EOF can improve conservation efforts.
U.S. Water Use from 1950-2015 U.S. Water Use from 1950-2015
U.S. Water Use from 1950-2015 is an interactive map viewer used to visualize water use by region and date for U.S. freshwater withdrawals, 1950-present (created by USGS VIZLAB).
