    Web map inventory of Alaska's stream gages (AKFlow)

      Alaska’s vast size, sparse human population, and access challenges often result in the state’s relatively thin data coverage compared to the other 49 US States for a number of key datasets including the USGS stream gauging network. Forty-one...

        Phytoplankton blooms occur when environmental conditions are conducive to the exponential growth of phytoplankton (microscopic plants that float in the upper, sunlit layers of water). They are a common phenomenon in the ocean and are part of...

        Stream Thermal Sensitivities

          This project characterized stream temperature regimes in the Bristol Bay, Kodiak Island, Cook Inlet, Copper River, and Prince William Sound regions to better understand thermal habitats for spawning and juvenile salmon. We aggregated 1,691...

          Historic Mining Footprint

            The Alaska Center for Conservation Science (ACCS) at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), in partnership with the Northwest Boreal Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NWB LCC), embarked on a project to map and quantify the human footprint...

            Alaska Gap Analysis Project

              Models from the Alaska Gap Analysis Project (AKGAP) were developed in 2014 as part of a nation-wide program administered by USGS to assess the extent to which species and vegetation communities are represented within the protected areas. GAP...
