EnviroAtlas - Average Annual Sediment Delivery Ratio (Scaled) - Natural Vegetation Removal Scenario for the Conterminous United States

This EnviroAtlas national dataset shows the average sediment delivery ratio (SDR) - the percentage of soil eroding from a pixel that is transported to a downstream water body - per pixel *1.0e4 for the conterminous United States for 2011 under a scenario in which natural vegetation has been removed. This raster is part of a collection of eight rasters showing soil loss, sediment delivery ratio, and sediment yield to streams and waterbodies under two land cover scenarios, and the difference between both scenarios for soil loss and sediment yield. The two scenarios are the existing vegetation scenario based on the 2011 National Land Cover Database (NLCD), and a scenario in which natural land cover was replaced with barren land. Average annual soil loss due to sheet and rill erosion was calculated using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) equation for both scenarios. A Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR) was then applied to both scenarios. The SDR was multiplied by the average annual soil loss to estimate net sediment yield to downstream waterways under both scenarios. These datasets can be used together to quantify the soil retention services of natural vegetation. The datasets used as inputs include the 2011 NLCD, 1971-2000 Rainfall-runoff erosivity factor from PRISM (Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model), the U.S. Geological Survey's 30-meter digital elevation model (DEM), Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO), and State Soil Geographic Database (STATSGO2) data, MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s crop management zones (CMZs). This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

Tririga

<p>The Paragon and Tririga Applications are project management programs utilized by CFM for construction programs.  The contents of the databases are a compiliation of the electronic contract management system(eCMS), the financial management system(FMS), and status information provided by CFM's engineering staff.  Due to the nature of the contract and financial management system information, the systems access is restricted to CFM personnel and select contractors working for CFM.  The reason for two project management programs is because Tririga is a replacement program for Paragon.  Once training has been completed and the Paragon data has been migrated to Tririga, Paragon use will be discontinued.  Paragon and Tririga are web based applications hosted by contractors outside of the VA intranet system.  Tririga will be the main construction management program as of June 2014.</p>

GHRSST Level 2P Central Pacific Regional Skin Sea Surface Temperature from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) Imager on the GOES-15 satellite (GDS versions 1 and 2)

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) operated by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) support weather forecasting, severe storm tracking, meteorology and oceanography research. Generally there are several GOES satellites in geosynchronous orbit at any one time viewing different earth locations including the GOES-15 launched 4 March 2010. The radiometer aboard the satellite, The GOES N-P Imager, is a five channel (one visible, four infrared) imaging radiometer designed to sense radiant and solar reflected energy from sampled areas of the earth. The multi-element spectral channels simultaneously sweep east-west and west-east along a north-to-south path by means of a two-axis mirror scan system returning telemetry in 10-bit precision.  For this Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) dataset, skin sea surface temperature (SST) measurements are calculated from the far IR channels of GOES-15 at full resolution on a half hourly basis. In native satellite projection, vertically adjacent pixels are averaged and read out at every pixel. L2P datasets including Single Sensor Error Statistics (SSES) are then derived following the GHRSST Data Processing Specification (GDS) version 2.0.  The full disk image is subsetted into granules representing distinct northern and southern regions.

Soil Health Dataset from Kansas Farms 2023-2024

A workbook of all the soils data collected near Holton, Kansas, in agricultural fields. Laboratory analysis of soil properties was completed by Ward Labs in Kearny Nebraska. Isotope analysis of soils was completed in Integrated Stable Isotope Research Facility operated by US Environmental Protection Agency. The goal of this project was to evaluate if Soil Health Principles can reduce the risk of nitrate leaching from agricultural fields. This effort was a collaborative project between EPA Region 7, EPA Office of Research and Development, and Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). 

Discussion of the project generating these data is available on the KDHE website:
