Aeroecology |
Aeroecology focuses "on the planetary boundary layer, or aerosphere, and the myriad of organisms that, in large part, depend upon this environment for their existence" (Kunz et al. 2008). The primary mission of the Aeroecology Community is to act as a clearing house for remotely sensed data related to biological use of the aerosphere. This community aims to provide biological data collected from weather radar, portable radar, thermal imaging, and other applicable and emerging technologies.

An Open Repository of Earthquake-Triggered Ground-Failure Inventories

Earthquake-triggered ground-failure, such as landsliding and liquefaction, can contribute significantly to losses, but our current ability to accurately include them in earthquake hazard analyses is limited. The development of robust and transportable models requires access to numerous inventories of ground failure triggered by earthquakes that span a broad range of terrains, shaking characteristics, and climates. We present an openly accessible, centralized earthquake-triggered ground-failure inventory repository in the form of a ScienceBase Community to [...]

Scientists within the Geospatial Analyses and Applications Team develop and apply geospatial analytical methods to answer broad-scale questions about source-sink and cause-effect relationships between contaminants and vulnerable communities. Multivariate statistics are used to identify connections between landscape gradients and observational data. These connections are used to develop risk assessments and make predictions across broad, regional scales. Datasets and analytical tools developed by the CTT support multiple projects seeking to understand complex [...]

Global Croplands and Their Water Use for Food Security in the Twenty-first Century
|
|
Global climate change is putting unprecedented pressure on global croplands and their water use, vital for ensuring future food security for the world's rapidly expanding human population. The end of the green green revolution (productivity per unit of land) era has meant declining global per capita agricultural production requiring immediate policy responses to safeguard food security amidst global climate change and economic turbulence. Above all, global croplands are water guzzlers, consuming between 60-90% of all human water use. With increasing urbanization, [...]

The Badger Army Ammunition Plant (BAAP), located in south-central Wisconsin in Sauk County, was constructed in 1942 to produce smokeless gunpowder and solid rocket propellant as munitions components for World War II. The plant operated intermittently until production ceased in March 1975. Soil and groundwater at the BAAP were impacted by several contaminants as a result of production and waste disposal practices that were common during the period of operation. The USGS, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Environmental Command, has been assessing recent groundwater [...]

The region within the Gulf Coast Prairie Landscape Conservation Cooperative (Gulf Coast Prairie LCC) faces many challenges that threaten both wildlife and their habitat within this diverse landscape. The once extensive grassland system has been impacted by urban and agricultural development. Large river systems struggle to maintain watershed integrity and base flows. Coastal systems fight the effects of reduced freshwater inflows. Other threats, such as climate change, pollution, invasive species and disease, also put a strain on native species and habitats.

Our country faces a wide array of natural hazards that threaten its safety, security, economic well-being, and natural resources. To minimize future losses, communities need a clear understanding of how they are vulnerable to natural hazards and of strategies for increasing their resilience. Vulnerability and resilience are influenced by (1) how communities choose to use hazard-prone land, (2) pre-existing socioeconomic conditions, (3) likely future patterns of land change, and (4) current efforts to reduce and manage risks. The objective of this project [...]

National Hydrography Dataset Linked Data Registry
|
|
The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) are used to portray surface water on The National Map. The NHD represents the drainage network with features such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, coastline, dams, and streamgages. An important use of the NHD is the analysis of surface-water systems. This analysis is possible because many types of location information can be linked to the NHD, such as flow-volume, velocity, temperature, water chemistry, pollution control classifications, aquatic species habitat, recreation [...]

Sediment-Bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response
|
SCoRR |
Coastal communities are uniquely vulnerable to sea-level rise (SLR) and severe storms such as hurricanes. These events enhance the dispersion and concentration of natural and anthropogenic chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms that could adversely affect the health and resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems in coming years. The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a strategy to define baseline and post-event sediment-bound environmental health (EH) stressors (hereafter referred to as the Sediment-Bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response [SCoRR] [...]

ShakeMap is a product of the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Program in conjunction with regional seismic network operators. ShakeMap sites provide near-real-time maps of ground motion and shaking intensity following significant earthquakes. These maps are used by federal, state, and local organizations, both public and private, for post-earthquake response and recovery, public and scientific information, as well as for preparedness exercises and disaster planning.

Soil-based Floodplain Mapping
|
SFM |
Flood is the most devastating of all natural disasters, leading to both human fatalities and economic losses worth billions of dollars every year. Flood inundation maps play a key role in mitigating flood related losses by indicating areas that are vulnerable to floods. However, the conventional approach to creating flood maps using hydraulic modeling is resource extensive, and cannot be applied easily in rural data sparse regions in the United States (U.S.). An alternative way to produce floodplain maps is proposed in Sangwan and Merwade (2015), which uses [...]
