This website is a data visualization companion to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report titled Federal Lands Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sequestration in the United States: Estimates 2005-22. The maps and charts on this site include the estimated emissions and sequestration from both fossil fuel activities and ecosystem processes on Federal lands only.

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.

This data visualization displays the results of distribution models for 130 snake and lizard species in western North America under six time-by-climate scenarios.

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.

To understand the contamination caused by historic mining in California, researchers sampled sediment, water, and biota (animals) during the years 1999–2004 and 2011–2012. From the data collected, a set of interactive maps were produced. The maps, along with the data release and introductory video, explain the results of the research.

This application provides access to estimates of depth-to-water and the water-table elevation for the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area.

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.

New Jersey Groundwater Level and Trends provides access to groundwater level data from continuous groundwater wells across New Jersey. Recent water-level measurements for all wells considered are compared to long-term monthly statistics and are classified and visualized according to water-level conditions relative to those statistics.

The Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) and USGS have been working together to create and expand the water-quality monitoring network for Philadelphia. Data from these gaging stations will allow PWD scientists and engineers to monitor spatial and temporal water quality/quantity trends in support of watershed restoration initiatives occurring in Philadelphia.

The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area provides science to understand wildlife diseases, including avian influenza (AI). Avian influenza viruses occur naturally in wild birds such as ducks, geese, swans, and gulls. These viruses generally do not cause illness in wild birds but they can be highly pathogenic and cause illness and death in poultry and wildlife. Learn more with this geonarrative.

This interactive web application displays U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data-collection locations in the Long Island Sound watershed. Station types include water-quality sampling sites, streamgages, groundwater-level and tidal monitoring sites, and meteorological sites. The sites shown on this map were active data-collection locations from May 2022 to May 2023.
