2022 was monumental for the program, including celebrating its 50-year anniversary, transitioning a fully operational Landsat 9 to the USGS team, and extending the Landsat 7 science mission. In addition to these major events, we have included an interactive map showcasing events Landsat satellites captured 2022 from around the world.

US Geological Survey research on contaminants in drinking water across the US.

This interactive map shares locations where per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been sampled by the Virginia and West Virginia Water Science Center in collaboration with partner agencies.

This Webapp can be used to visualize and explore the inventory of published USGS 3D geological models.

Data viewer that allows users to see the streamflow and water quality monitoring sites at Clear Lake and its tributaries. Data is from the USGS National Water Information System and California Department of Water Resources and Lake County databases.

The surface of the Earth is always changing. Some changes like earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and landslides happen quickly, and other changes, such as most erosional processes, happen slowly over time. It’s often hard to see these changes from ground level. Earthshots shows you how satellite data are used to track these changes over time.

The National StreamStats Beta Application includes a Fire-Hydrology tool to help users identify streams and streamgages affected by wildfires.

This interactive geonarrative will take you on a guided tour to explore the science, capabilities, and history of the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center.

The U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) Geologic Core and Sample Database was established to catalog and preserve geologic materials and their metadata. This geonarrative explores the history of geologic sampling at the USGS SPCMSC, why and how this database was developed, and where the database can be accessed.

The Landsat Acquisition Tool helps determine when the Landsat satellites acquire data over specific areas of interest, displaying the paths that were acquired on any given day.

The Time of Travel Beta Application was built in cooperation with the Inland Oil Spill Preparedness Program. The primary goal of the application is to provide rapid estimates for instream travel times for emergency spill response scenarios. The application also provided mean reach velocities and general travel time estimates that also can be used by other water resource managers.

The Alaska Regional Office has developed an online viewer platform where the public can access interactive map layers to display select marine and terrestrial geospatial features in the Arctic Alaska boundary area as defined by the U.S. Arctic Research and Policy Act.
