2007 Digitized Shoreline for Breton Island, Louisiana (Geographic, NAD83)

Shorelines were derived from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) digital ortho imagery collected on October 11, 2007. This dataset contains digitized shorelines created from the NAIP imagery for Breton Island, Louisiana. Shorelines were digitized in ArcMap 10.2.2 so they could be used for area and shoreline change analysis using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) Version 4.0.

Watershed Level Occurrences of Yellow Lampmussel from Museum and Survey Data

Natural history museum records may provide unique information on the distribution of species additional to survey data collected by resource managers. However, there can be challenges to using museum data for analyses such as spurious geographic information, misidentifications, and incorrect labeling. Museum records have been centralized by open-source repositories with flags for coordinate precision and out-of-range specimens, providing some information about record uncertainty in general. Verification of uncertain museum records could increase confidence in distribution data and improve understanding of biodiversity patterns and range dynamics through time. The goal of this study was to determine if museum records provide unique information about the distribution of *Lampsilis cariosa* (Yellow Lampmussel), an at-risk freshwater mussel species. We created a dichotomous key based on a hierarchy of conchological characteristics to verify the taxonomic identity of flagged L. cariosa specimens and assessed records occurring outside of the species’ expected range as compiled from primary literature. Fifty percent of flagged specimens were confirmed as L. cariosa. Of the invalid records, 56% were misidentifications, mainly of other Lampsilis species. Overall, museum collections (1800s – present) contributed 32 unique watersheds not represented by modern survey records (1980s – present, comprising 92 watersheds) including 13 unexpected watersheds in regions of New York, Vermont, QuÃ©bec, and Ontario. Our study provides a reproducible method for the reverification of freshwater mussel museum records and highlights how they can provide substantial unique contributions to our understanding of the geographic range of a rare, at-risk mussel species.
The .csv file titled "occupiedwatersheds.csv" shows occupied Hydrologic Unit 8 and National Hydro Network Watersheds for the Yellow Lampmussel (*Lampsilis cariosa*) as compiled from the agencies described in the .csv file "data_sources.csv". Each entry in the "occupiedwatersheds.csv" represents either a U.S. or Canada watershed that is part of the expected geographic range of *L. cariosa* and/or has museum or modern records overlapping within its boundaries. The .shp file titled "occupiedwatershedsshp.shp" is the same information in this csv simply in .shp form. The .csv file titled "data_sources.csv" indicates where those survey and museum records came from, including institutions and points of contact, as well as the date each database was queried.

Raster Freezing and Thawing Degree-day Data for Alaska and Northwest Canada 1901-2100

Annual freezing degree-day and thawing degree-day metrics for the state of Alaska and Northwest Canada. Degree-days were estimated using integration of a piecewise cubic hermite interpolating polynomial calculated from monthly data. Input monthly data from the Scenarios Network for Alaska + Arctic Planing, consisting of downscaled CRU TS 4.0 historic estimates of monthly temperature, were used for the period from 1901-2020, and downscaled CMIP5/AR5 projected estimates of monthly temperature were used from the period from 2006-2100. Thawing degree-days were calculated from 1901-2100, and freezing degree-days from 1901-2099.

Surface Elevation Table Data at the Nisqually River Delta, Washington

Surface Elevation Tables (SETs) were installed in 2009 and 2010 using permanent, deep rods driven down into the soil with a demolition hammer, typically about 60-80 feet.  The top of the rod lies near the sediment surface, with a receiver end. A Surface Elevation Table is a portable mechanical leveling device that attaches to the receiving end at the top of the deep rod.  The SET arm includes a bubble level and a notched collar that allows for the arm to be aligned precisely and repeatedly in the cardinal directions.
SETs were installed as triplicates in Reference, Phase II, and as north-south pairs in the 2009 restoration area (Units 1-4). Each SET location was read repeatedly at regular, at least annual intervals.  Reading SETs consisted of measurements for nine pins facing the four cardinal directions for a total of 36 measurements per SET, per sampling event. Each pin was measured to the nearest millimeter.

Elevation of marsh units in Atlantic-facing New Jersey salt marshes

This data release contains coastal wetland synthesis products for the Atlantic-facing New Jersey salt marshes. Metrics for resiliency, including the unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), marsh elevation, and tidal range, are calculated for smaller units delineated from a digital elevation model, providing the spatial variability of physical factors that influence wetland health. The U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands with the intent of providing federal, state, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services.

LANDFIRE 2023 Historical Disturbance (HDist) CONUS

LANDFIRE (LF) disturbance products are developed to provide temporal and spatial information related to landscape change. Historical Disturbance (HDist) is developed from the base annual LF disturbance products, and attribute code system, to represent the history of disturbance for a 10-year span. Each year's disturbance scenarios are checked against time relevant LF vegetation products to check for logical inconsistencies. Errant codes are flagged and updated to a discard code with the remaining disturbance types cross-walked/aggregated to Fuel Disturbance (FDist) types. 
HDist includes the year of disturbance that is recorded for that pixel (see the HDIST_YR column in the attribute table). The HDist attribute table also contains an HDIST_ID field that is the disturbance year combined with the disturbance code. See the HDIST_CAT column for the FDist code combined with the disturbance code.

Photographs of piston and gravity cores collected in September 2019 offshore of south-central California (USGS FAN 2019-642-FA)

This dataset includes photographs of 39 piston and gravity cores that were collected as part of a groundtruthing survey in September 2019 aboard the R/V Bold Horizon. This dataset is one of several collected as part of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)-funded California Deepwater Investigations and Groundtruthing (Cal DIG I) project. The purpose of the study is to assess shallow geohazards, benthic habitats, and thereby the potential for alternative energy infrastructure (namely floating wind turbines) offshore south-central California due to its proximity to power grid infrastructure associated with the Morro Bay power plant. These core data provide information about the geology of the seafloor and shallow subsurface offshore of the south-central California coast.

SET-MH were installed in 2009 and 2010 with three replicates in Reference and Phase II and with two replicates (north-south) pairs in the 2009 restoration area (Units 1-4).  SET-MH were read repeatedly at regular, at least annual intervals. Reading SETs consisted of measurements for nine pins facing the four cardinal directions for a total of 36 measurements per SET, per sampling event.  Marker Horizons consisted of a marker, usually white feldspar clay, so that the sediment that accumulated on top of the marker would be visible and measurable to the nearest millimeter.  Together, SET-MH provide information on surface elevation changes due to surface accretion (MH) compared to changes that may be due to subsurface processes (such as root growth or groundwater swelling).
