USGS, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP), has released a geonarrative detailing the sampling of a network of surface water sites across Pennsylvania.

The Geologic Hydrogen Prospectivity Map Explorer hosts various geologic and geophysical data layers in support of the U.S. Geological Survey’s initiative to map the potential of geologic hydrogen within the conterminous U.S. This first-ever Hydrogen Map Explorer contains 19 input maps and 7 integrated maps that highlight prospective areas for naturally occurring hydrogen across the country.

This interactive website highlights key scientific findings of the National Water Availability Assessment report through engaging stories, plain-language explanations, and interactive data visualizations.

The National Water Availability Assessment Data Companion (NWDC) delivers model-based estimates of water supply and demand.

Using published studies, data, and models completed at regional or national scales in the United States during 2010–20, this chapter of the National Water Availability Assessment moves towards a comprehensive assessment by summarizing how selected anthropogenic and geogenic water-quality constituents affect national-scale water availability for human and ecosystem needs.

Streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs are important natural resources for irrigation, public supply, wetlands and wildlife. Excess precipitation that flows into these sources is called runoff, and it's an important drought indicator. The California Water Science Center tracks both monthly and annual runoff.

The Arctic Ocean is undergoing dramatic sea ice reduction and warming conditions. The researchers of this project use microfossils from sediment cores taken in the Beaufort Sea to rebuild the climate patterns, sea ice and circulation, and ecosystems from the past 2000 years. Three interactive data visualizations help tell this story.

Glaciers and ice caps around the world are melting. Deposition of dark aerosols from fire on ice can increase glacier melting. The researchers of this project use ice cores from the Juneau Icefield to show how wildfires in the region are affecting the icefield. Three interactive data visualizations help tell this story.

The USGS Fiber Optic Seismology interactive map provides access to metadata from Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) experiments.

This web mapping application depicts the 3D National Topography Model (3DNTM) Data Collaboration Announcement (DCA) acquisition projects from fiscal year (FY) 2024 to present as well as the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) projects from FY15-23.
