Obique photos offer a unique perspective of the coast. Features such as beach erosion or accretion, dune erosion and overwash can all be clearly characterized in this imagery. It also documents coastal infrastructure, as well as the damage that infrastructure may incur as the result of an impacting hurricane.

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.

In 1998 the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) began aquiring digital orthophoto quadrangles (DOQ) for the Upper Mississippi River floodplain to georeference the center's aerial photography and land cover/use data. As these data become available, the files are compressed and placed online so others can also use them.

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.

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.

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.

Help scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey annotate aerial photographs with keyword tags to identify changes to the coast after extreme storms.

This is an interactive version of the Alaska geologic map database which allows a user to view and access many features of the database and map through a standard web browser. In other words, there is no need for or knowledge of specialized GIS software.

Streamflow statistics for the state of Kansas.

Tsunami waves created by earthquakes far from Hawai’i arrive hours later along Hawaiian shorelines but can be difficult to escape if everyone uses their cars to evacuate. Working with the Hawai’i Emergency Management Agency, researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) used computer modeling to identify areas where people should be able to evacuate on foot in less than 15 minutes.

NowCast – A daily nowcast of recreational water quality conditions Nowcast predicts water quality conditions at select beach swimming areas in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Predictions are only posted during the beach swimming season in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
