La Soufrière Volcano is a 1,220 m high stratovolcano that occupies the northern half of the island of St. Vincent, Lesser Antilles, Eastern Caribbean. It has a long history of explosive and sometimes devastating eruptions. Beginning in December 2020 and ending in April 2021, La Soufrière Volcano produced a Volcano Explosivity Index (VEI) 4 eruption that greatly impacted the landscape, communities, and infrastructure on the island of St. Vincent. The eruption produced intense ash plumes, heavy ashfall, and pyroclastic flows down several river valleys. During and following the eruption, destructive lahars (volcanic mudflows) impacted rivers valleys and coastal communities for months. The USGS-USAID Volcano Disaster...

This dataset was produced in by the Delaware Geological survey in cooperation with the US Geological Survey and Delaware Department of Transportation for the purpose of delineating gage basins and performing hydrologic analysis in the Delaware 2020 StreamStats application. These datasets are raster representations of the fundamental dataset layers necessary for the functionality of StreamStats application within the Delaware StreamStats 2020 study area. The StreamStats application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas, get basin characteristics...
Mitigating Gulf of Mexico hypoxia will require practices to reduce nitrate losses from tile drainage throughout the upper Mississippi River basin. Wetlands are a key practice to accomplish this via denitrification, but locations of feasible wetland sites will need to be determined on a watershed specific basis. This study's objective was to demonstrate that LiDAR topographic data can be used to identify feasible wetland locations in a 6500 ha watershed in northern Illinois, and then estimate the impact on watershed nitrate loads from wetlands hypothetically constructed at those locations. The evaluation resulted in the identification of eleven sites where wetlands could intercept tile drainage from 30% of the watershed....
