"Federal datasets are subject to the U.S. Federal Government Data Policy. Non-federal participants (e.g., universities, organizations, and tribal, state, and local governments) maintain their own data policies. Data policies influence the usefulness of the data."

Spatial information for visualization or download of 9000+ datasets.

The Mission of NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is to provide long-term
scientific data stewardship for the Nation's geophysical data, ensuring quality, integrity, and accessibility. NGDC provides stewardship, products, and services for geophysical data from our Sun to Earth and Earth's sea floor and solid earth environment, including Earth observations from space.

Earth observation data and information for NERC science and survey.

The NEES Project Warehouse is the centralized data repository for sharing and publishing earthquake engineering research data from experimental and numerical studies.

The UK open source for free geodata. Includes a number of world/country datasets.

The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) are used to portray surface water on The National Map. The NHD represents the drainage network with features such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, coastline, dams, and streamgages. The WBD represents drainage basins as enclosed areas in eight different size categories.The NHD and WBD are digital vector datasets used by geographic information systems (GIS).
