The NetMap concept is based on standardized, contiguous digital map databases that interact with a plug & play analysis tool library (erosion, stream temperature, in-stream wood etc.) to create customizable analysis platforms for decision support in a wide range of natural resource activities. Refer to the 2009 American Geophysical Union article on “the future of applied watershed science at regional scales” for additional information (available for download at the bottom of NetMap’s home page). The uniform, contiguous and attributed stream map databases can be downloaded, and then adjusted with respect to locations of channel heads, drainage density and the length scales of stream networks (default stream segment...

Information on the sources of sediment production and amount is necessary to better understand the relationship between landscape-scale ecosystem drivers (fire, large-scale invasive species removal, recreation, oil and gas development, and grazing) and sediment loading in rivers, streams, and reservoirs. An improved understanding of the sources of sediment production and the contribution of each source to total sediment load would enable resource managers to better locate and design conservation strategies to reduce sediment loading, and improve water quality, native fish habitats, and upland vegetation cover.This project will conduct an erosion and sediment supply analysis in a portion of the Upper Green River...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
