This is a temporary community space for submitting metadata records not associated with a USGS Trusted Digital Repository to the USGS Science Data Catalog.
Description of the community and its mission: Through the Science Support Partnership (SSP) Program, the U.S. Geological Survey partners with the Fish and Wildlife Service to understand and provide the critical science information required to effectively manage our nation’s resources.
The USGS Integrated Water Availability Assessments (IWAAs) are designed to be a multi-extent, near real-time census and seasonal prediction of water availability for both human and ecological uses at regional and national extents. As part of the IWAAs program, the National Water Availability Assessment (National IWAAS) is intended to provide periodic interpretive assessments of past, current, and future water demands compared to available supplies of clean water. The assessment will consider many of the factors that can influence the availability of water suitable for human and ecosystem uses including climate variability and change, and socioeconomic drivers. The assessments will synthesize relevant model output...
The Gap Analysis Project (GAP) is an element of the U.S. Geological Survey. GAP helps to implement the Department of the Interior’s goals of inventory, monitoring, research, and information transfer. GAP has three primary goals: Identify conservation gaps that help keep common species common; Provide conservation information to the public so that informed resource management decisions can be made; and Facilitate the application of GAP data and analysis to specific resource management activities. To implement these goals, GAP carries out the following objectives: Map the land cover of the United States Map predicted distributions of vertebrate species for the U.S. Map the location, ownership and stewardship of...

CarpDAT is intended to serve as a repository for sharing various forms of invasive carp data being collected by cooperating agencies of the Mississippi River Invasive Carp Sub-basin Partnerships that are implementing projects identified in annual monitoring and response plans. CarpDAT will bring together data to meet the needs of both research and management communities. This community will consolidate resources that can eventually be accessed through a CarpDAT web application.
The AMMonitor community is a collaboration of independent projects that use the R package, AMMonitor, to monitor wildlife with remotely deployed devices such as trail cameras and audio recorders. The media data (audio, photos, and video and their metadata) comprise a repository for use in (1) ongoing adaptive management and wildlife research, and (2) the development of new predictive models, via machine learning, for the automated identification of target wildlife species from media. Each collaborating project exists as a child-item of this ScienceBase community and releases wildlife monitoring data as formal data releases. Each data release includes metadata as CSV files and zipped media files. The AMMonitor...
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 provide open access to these data, and help accelerate progress. The Community hosts digital inventories created by both USGS and non-USGS authors. We present...

The USGS and Virginia Tech are determining if and how the implementation of conservation practices, such as best management practices (BMPs), in watersheds have improved the health of Chesapeake nontidal streams. Our goal is to identify the effects of BMPs and land-use on stream ecosystems by linking upstream landscape change to stream physical habitat, water quality, flow and temperature, and macroinvertebrate and fish responses. We are also determining the specific sources of stress to streams and fish populations to help identify which management practices are most likely to improve stream health. Each year from 2021 to 2024 we study a different Chesapeake landscape setting that is a focus area for stakeholders...
