USGS Lakeview. Mold on ceiling. See images 066, 070, 072, and 073. What appears to be a decorative border between the wall and the ceiling actually marks the air space above the highest flood level.

USGS Lakeview. Mold on ceiling. See images 066, 070, 072, and 073. What appears to be a decorative border between the wall and the ceiling actually marks the air space above the highest flood level. The mold grew best there. October 2, 2005. These are currently displayed in this year's USGS Photo Contest. U.S. Geological Survey "Lakeview" photographs document weekend "free time" in Lakeview. D.K. Demcheck's mother-in-law and brother-in-law lived here. His mother-in-law's place took 6 feet of water for two weeks. It was looted at least 3 times. The press reports of gunfire and breakdown of social order were exaggerated, but the amount of looting was not exaggerated.

Death Valley National Park, California. Wood post shattered by salt, an example of evaporation effects on the salt pan. Circa 1960.

Death Valley National Park, California. Wood post shattered by salt, an example of evaporation effects on the salt pan. This wood post, 3.5 feet long, was set in the flood plain of Salt Creek about 1910; ground level was at the lower edge of the bulge. Water rising in the wood evaporated at ground level and burst the wood with precipitated salts. Drawn by J.R. Stacy from photo, circa 1960. Figure 15, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B.

Modeled extreme total water levels along the U.S. west coast

This dataset contains information on the probabilities of storm-induced erosion (collision, inundation and overwash) for each 100-meter (m) section of the United States Pacific coast for return period storm scenarios. The analysis is based on a storm-impact scaling model that uses observations of beach morphology combined with sophisticated hydrodynamic models to predict how the coast will respond to the hydrodynamic forcing. Storm-induced water levels, due to both surge and waves, are compared to coastal elevations to determine the probabilities of three types of coastal change: collision (dune erosion), overwash, and inundation. Data on morphology (dune crest and toe elevation) and hydrodynamics (storm surge,...

Selected Peak-Flow Special Conditions for USGS Streamgages in Alaska

This data package documents selected special conditions affecting the magnitude of peak flows at streamgages in Alaska. The data consist of a table of special conditions for selected peak flows and a table of data sources. This dataset resolves ambiguity introduced by historical variations in USGS National Water Information System (NWIS; https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN) peak-flow code assignment practices or inherent in defining multiple possible conditions for a single code. For peak flows assigned a code 3 or 9 in the NWIS peak-flow database, the special conditions forming the basis for code assignment were (1) snowmelt or (2) a sudden release of water. Sudden releases of water included glacier dammed lake outburst,...
