Abstract

LANDFIRE is a Federal program that provides a suite of spatial datasets indicating areas of disturbance, vegetation and fuels distributions and structure, and historical conditions. The level of detail presented in LANDFIRE’s classifications of disturbance, vegetation, and fuels is unparalleled and can be used in a variety of applications, including (1) modeling wildfire risk and fire behavior, (2) modeling habitat and and species ranges, (3) understanding how disturbances affect the landscape, and (4) researching departure from precolonial conditions. Additionally, the all-lands paradigm of LANDFIRE mapping creates spatial data that do not stop at jurisdictional boundaries. The primary research and management applications of LANDFIRE data are detailed in this fact sheet, providing users with a well-rounded understanding of the potential of LANDFIRE’s spatial data layers.

Hydrologic Conditions in Kansas, Water Year 2021 This product is not available for order, it can only be downloaded from here (click on image) or within the Publications Warehouse at https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/fs20223071 First posted August 19, 2022 For additional information, contact: Director, Kansas Water Science Center https://www.usgs.gov/centers/kswsc U.S. Geological Survey 1217 Biltmore Drive Lawrence, KS 66049 Abstract The U.S. Geological Survey maintains a network of hydrologic monitoring stations across Kansas in cooperation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies. During water year 2021, this network included 230 real-time surface water data collection sites, referred to as “streamgages.” A water year is the 12-month period from October 1 through September 30 and is designated by the calendar year in which it ends. These real-time data are routinely collected and calibrated by U.S. Geological Survey personnel via regular measurements of streamflow and water levels. Analyses of these data provide an understanding of hydrologic conditions in the State critical to the management of water resources, industrial and agricultural uses, protection of life and property during flooding, operation of reservoirs, recreation, and other activities.

Water Priorities for the Nation—The USGS National Water Dashboard This product is not available for order, it can only be downloaded from here (click on image) or within the Publications Warehouse at https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/fs20223003 First posted March 2, 2022 For additional information, contact: Associate Director, Water Resources Mission Area https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/water-resources U.S. Geological Survey 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive Reston, VA 20192 Abstract The U.S. Geological Survey National Water Dashboard supplies critical information to decision makers, emergency managers, and the public during extreme hydrologic events (such as droughts and floods) and during normal hydrologic conditions. It informs decision making that can help protect lives and property before and during extreme hydrologic events. The National Water Dashboard draws upon the extensive site-specific hydrologic data housed in the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System database (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN) and also links to the U.S. Geologic Survey WaterAlert system, which provides users with instant and customized updates about water conditions. Overall, the National Water Dashboard is part of the U.S. Geological Survey's effort to respond to 21st century science needs.

The 3D Elevation Program—Supporting Washington’s Economy Fact Sheet 2022-3075 National Geospatial Program By: Tom Carlson https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20223075 This product is not available for order, it can only be downloaded from here or within the Publications Warehouse at https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/fs20223075 For additional information, contact: Director, National Geospatial Program https://www.usgs.gov/programs/national-geospatial-program U.S. Geological Survey 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, Mail Stop 511 Reston, VA 20192 Email: 3DEP@usgs.gov Introduction Washington State has a geographically diverse and spectacular landscape that is divided to the east and west by the largely volcanic mountains of the Cascade Range. Approximately 88 percent of the population lives in western Washington, mostly in urban areas. The climate is varied, with high precipitation and seasonal flooding in the western part of the State, while drier conditions are found east of the Cascades. Where the terrain is mountainous, the dominant vegetation is coniferous forests, which are prone to frequent seasonal fires. The climate and land use in combination with a dynamic geology result in frequent landslides. Washington has the second highest risk, after California, of large and damaging earthquakes because of its geologic setting. Critical applications that meet the State’s management needs depend on light detection and ranging (lidar) data that provide a highly detailed three-dimensional (3D) model of the Earth’s surface and aboveground features.
