Coastal communities are uniquely vulnerable to sea-level rise (SLR) and severe storms such as hurricanes. These events enhance the dispersion and concentration of natural and anthropogenic chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms that could adversely affect the health and resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems in coming years. The U.S. Geological Survey has developed the Sediment-Bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response (SCoRR) strategy to define baseline and post-event sediment-bound environmental health (EH) stressors. These data document the location, sampling techniques and field conditions observed while collecting soil and sediment samples from selected stations in the northeastern US during the...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA NRCS) has collected discrete stream samples for analysis of suspended-sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus at the real-time streamflow and water-quality monitoring (turbidity and nitrate) station 01575900, Chiques Creek Near Marietta, Pennsylvania. Data were collected from 2021-2023 at this station for the application of predicting suspended-sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus concentrations using real-time continuous turbidity, nitrate, and streamflow. Regression equations via Ordinary Least Squares were developed by relating discrete sample suspended-sediment...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the York County Planning Commission and York County Conservation District, has collected discrete stream samples for analysis of suspended-sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus concentrations at six real-time streamflow and water-quality monitoring (turbidity, nitrate, and specific conductance) stations located in York County, Pennsylvania. Data were collected from 2019-2023 at these stations for the application of predicting suspended-sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus concentrations using real-time continuous turbidity, nitrate, specific conductance, and streamflow. Regression equations were developed by relating discrete-sample suspended...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
