Data Visualizations

Use this visualization tool to explore and enhance your understanding of historical climatic and hydrologic conditions at select CDFW Wildlife Areas (WA) and Ecological Reserves (ER). The properties highlighted by this tool are currently serving as CDFW Sentinel Sites.

This web page displays groundwater-level data for selected wells monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in and near the Duwamish River valley, King County, Washington. These data are part of a project to better understand the geology and groundwater in and near the Duwamish River valley and how groundwater may contribute to flooding in the valley.

Since 2019, the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center has been cooperating with York County, Pennsylvania to implement in-stream monitoring and water-quality sampling to compute, in real time, the concentration, loads, and yields of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and suspended sediment for 6 major watersheds in the County.

The Walker Basin Hydro Mapper web application provides a basin-wide view of real-time streamflow and reservoir storage capacity for the Walker River Basin in Nevada and California.

The Invasive Carp Open Data Hub is a platform for exploring and accessing USGS data, tools, applications, and publications related to invasive carp research and management.

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.

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.

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.
