Description: "“USGS iCoast - Did the Coast Change?” is a USGS research project to construct and deploy a citizen science web application that asks volunteers to compare pre- and post-storm aerial photographs and identify coastal changes using predefined tags. This crowdsourced data will help USGS improve predictive models of coastal change and educate the public about coastal vulnerability to extreme storms." -- from the website, 8/5/2015

Description: "As one of the cornerstones of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Geospatial Program, The National Map is a collaborative effort among the USGS and other Federal, State, and local partners to improve and deliver topographic information for the Nation. It has many uses ranging from recreation to scientific analysis to emergency response. The National Map is easily accessible for display on the Web, as products and services, and as downloadable data. The geographic information available from The National Map includes orthoimagery (aerial photographs), elevation, geographic names, hydrography, boundaries, transportation, structures, and land cover." -- from the website, 1/24/2017

Description: "The United States is divided and sub-divided into successively smaller hydrologic units which are classified into four levels: regions, sub-regions, accounting units, and cataloging units. The hydrologic units are arranged or nested within each other, from the largest geographic area (regions) to the smallest geographic area (cataloging units). Each hydrologic unit is identified by a unique hydrologic unit code (HUC) consisting of two to eight digits based on the four levels of classification in the hydrologic unit system." -- from the website, 1/24/2017

Description: "This section contains information about active and recent events tracked by the USGS National Floods Specialist. Streamflow data is vitally important for our partner agencies to forecast flood magnitude and timing, operate flood control systems, and manage emergency response. In addition, USGS also coordinates collection and dissemination of geospatial imagery and map products used for flood response and evaluation." -- from the website, 9/9/2015

Description: "The USGS Flood Event Viewer provides convenient, map-based access to storm-surge and other event-based data collected by the USGS Short-Term Network (STN). The USGS streamgage network is the largest streamgage network in the US, but even with over 8,000 real-time stations, more data is needed for certain storms. During large events, the USGS collects additional data (high-water marks, additional sensor deployments) to aid in documenting high-water events." -- from the website, 1/17/2017

Description: "Prior to the arrival of Hurricane Sandy, USGS technicians deployed non-transmitting storm tide sensors and wave height sensors and real-time rapid deployment streamgages (RDGs) along the Northeast coast. The data are available on the Hurricane Sandy Mapping Application. The mapper provides location information, site photos and data for storm tide and inland flooding. Data will be made available as soon as possible following the storm." -- from the webpage, 1/17/2017

Description: "Fish distribution and community composition in streams are expected to change based on altered thermal and/or hydrologic characteristics of surface and groundwater resources resulting from climate change. FishVis was developed to help you visualize, search, and download these potential climate-driven responses for 13 fish species in streams across the Great Lakes region." -- from the website, 5/14/2015 "The FishVis Mapper is the product of an Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Landscape Conservation Cooperative project, “A Regional Decision Support Tool for Identifying Vulnerabilities of Riverine Habitat and Fishes to Climate Change”. The goal of this project was to develop an approach for predicting fish species occurrence under current climate conditions and project how fish species occurrence may change under future climate conditions." -- from the website, 5/14/2015
