This community catalog serves the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center. The Water Science Center's mission is to collect, analyze and disseminate the impartial hydrologic data and information needed to wisely manage water resources for the people of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, the USGS's water-resources roots date back to the late 1800's, with the initiation of streamflow gaging on the Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers and the evaluation of groundwater resources in various parts of the Commonwealth. Today, the Pennsylvania Water Science Center's cadre of nearly 80 scientists, technicians, and support staff in New Cumberland, Exton, Pittsburgh, and Williamsport work in...

Problem Potential offsite impacts to public and ecosystem health from exposure to current-use pesticides and other organic contaminants are a growing concern in Hawaiʻi. In response to these concerns, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Agriculture (HDOA), initiated a comprehensive pesticide-monitoring program of surface water in Hawaiʻi in 2016. The State of Hawaiʻi Department of Health (HDOH) is collaborating by providing technical and scientific assistance. Objectives The objectives of the Hawaiʻi pesticide-monitoring program include (1) documenting the occurrence and distribution of current-use pesticides in surface water of geographically distinct agricultural...

The Denver Microbeam Laboratory (DML) provides infrastructure and expertise for basic and advanced microanalytical research carried out by scientists from most Mission Areas of the USGS as well as outside collaborators. The laboratory houses optical microscopes, digital microscopes, scanninging electron microscopes, energy dispersive spectrometers, electron backscattered diffraction, cathodoluminescence, and electron microprobes. The data collected in the Denver Microbeam Lab is used by researchers in the fields of mineralogy, petrology, geologic mapping, hydrology, biology, and environmental science.

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...
This record describes the USGS Library Catalog, an online resource for searching the hard copy materials of the USGS Library System. The following excerpts are taken from the USGS Libraries Program brochure as an overview. Visiting USGS Libraries Public users are welcome to visit any of the USGS libraries and use their collections; libraries are open Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. Photo identification is required to enter most Federal government buildings. Staff are always available to assist visitors and give informal orientations. Tours by groups can be arranged on request. Visitors may use library materials on the premises. Photocopiers are available at all locations. The online catalog...
The National Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) are conducting coordinated conservation actions along the Colorado River corridor in Utah to enhance resource conditions and related societal values associated with this iconic riverine ecosystem. Since the late 19 th century, riverine ecosystems throughout much of western North America have been altered through the introduction of nonnative plant and fish species, water withdrawals, flow regulation by dams, and many other human activities. Riparian vegetation in the project area currently is undergoing rapid change as extensive stands of nonnative tamarisk ( Tamarix spp., the dominant woody plant in the river corridor)...
The USGS Science Analytics and Synthesis Foundational Data Community supports the SAS mission by providing reliable scientific occurrence, habitat, taxonomic, and range data for terrestrial, freshwater and marine species and ecosystems and protected areas data for the U.S.. These datasets are each supported by an update plan that is determined to meet stakeholder and user needs. The datasets are national in scope and are an authoritative source for the information they provide.
This collection provides metadata records from the USGS National Wetlands Research Center as provided to the CSAS Metadata Clearinghouse.
The Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) Climate Effects Network began in 2008 to focus science efforts on management questions. This multi-agency group* will: 1) Develop science questions based on input from scientists and managers. 2) Provide a website where users can access information pertinent to their needs. 3) Conduct a data gap analysis to identify science needs. 4) Seek funding for priority research needs. The UCRB initiative seeks to increase knowledge on the effects of climate change on the region and its resources. A supportive aspect of the initiative will be the assembly of the scientific data and information resources from past decades of work by USGS scientists and research partners into a cohesive...
The National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) is the primary source of funds for the production of geologic maps in the United States and provides accurate geologic maps and three-dimensional framework models that help to sustain and improve the quality of life and economic vitality of the Nation and to mitigate natural hazards. The NCGMP represents over 2 decades of successful cooperation among Federal (FEDMAP), State (STATEMAP), and university (EDMAP) partners to deliver digital geologic maps to customers. Each of these three components has a unique role, yet all work cooperatively to select and map high-priority areas for new geologic maps. Geologic mapping data from all of North America are presented...
This collection of USGS publications was assembled to identify USGS authors in particular subject areas. It was derived from the attached spreadsheets, which were produced by Dave Woodson by running queries using the following methods against the USGS Publications Warehouse. From Dave Woodson: 1. I went to the USGS Publications Warehouse web site: http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/#home 2. I selected the Advanced Search option 3. In the Search for publications box I searched for key words listed below 4. I limited the search to Start Year 2005 5. I limited the search to journal publications only 6. Once the list was produced I saved it as an Excel worksheet. 7. Each word was searched for separately, this is a limitation...
The National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) is a science center of the United States Geological Survey. The NWHC was established in 1975 as a biomedical laboratory dedicated to assessing the impact of disease on wildlife and to identifying the role of various pathogens in contributing to wildlife losses.

The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area Water Quality Across Regional Stream Networks project focuses on the generation, flux, and biogeochemistry of water quality constituents at multiple temporal and spatial scales in stream networks. Water quality in streams is influenced by landscape and climatic factors along with biogeochemical reactions occurring within the water column or sediments. However, the prevailing drivers of water quality differ depending upon the scale considered. This project aims to analyze the behavior of water quality at multiple scales to determine the main drivers of water quality constituent concentrations and fluxes at the different scales. We work from the scale of soil/sediment-water interface...
