GAK_Q40.TIF - Gulf of Alaska U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (10 of 30) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

GLORIA data for the Gulf of Alaska Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) were acquired during five cruises over a four year period. The first cruise conducted in 1986 (F-1-86-GA) surveyed an area of the north-central mosaic area and covered an area of approximately 40,000 square kilometers (sq km). The second two cruises (F-8-88-AA, F-9-88-WG) were conducted in 1988. One of the 1988 cruises (F-8-88-AA) focused on a survey of the Aleutian Arc. The eastern most portion of that survey extended outside of the Aleutian Arc survey area and covered an area of approximately 52,000 square kilometers (sq km) of seafloor on the western edge of the Gulf of Alaska. The final two cruises (F-6-89-GA, F-7-89-EG) were completed in 1989. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. Thirty digital mosaics with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Tracklines of a multibeam survey of the sea floor offshore of Fire Island Inlet, New York, in 1998 (polyline shapefile, geographic, WGS 84)

Surveys of the bathymetry and backscatter intensity of the sea floor south of Long Island, New York, were carried out in November 1998 using a Simrad EM1000 multibeam echosounder mounted on the Canadian Coast Guard ship Frederick G. Creed. The purpose of the multibeam echosounder surveys was to explore the bathymetry and backscatter intensity of the sea floor in several areas off the southern coast of Long Island along the 20-meter isobath. Survey areas offshore of Fire Island Inlet, Moriches Inlet, Shinnecock Inlet, and southwest of Montauk Point were about 1 kilometer (km) wide and 10 km long. The area was mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick.

DNA fingerprinting of Southern Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus fuliginatus) to determine movement across California State Route 67

The goal of this project was to primarily assess east-west connectivity across Route 67 and secondarily, north-south connectivity across Scripps Poway Parkway and Poway Road, two highly trafficked roads to the west of Route 67. We collected deer scat piles from both sides of these crossings in spring between March and June of 2015, and again in fall throughout October 2015. Collected pellets were extracted and amplified using protocols and loci developed by Bohonak and Mitelberg (2014). DNA fingerprinting results were used to investigate mule deer movement in the region directly by identifying individuals which had been captured multiple times throughout the study period. We also assessed movement indirectly through pedigree reconstruction and population structure analyses. The shapefile below contains 126 deer scat piles and the genotypes obtained at 15 microsatellite markers and one sex specific genetic marker. These represented 71 unique individual genotypes (45 females, 26 males) with 9 recapture events and 46 resampling events (defined as scat piles collected at the same location within one week of each other and matching the same unique genotype). 
These data support the following publicaton;

CRLS98014 sidescan-sonar track lines on the inner continental shelf off the northern Oregon and southern Washington coast from U.S. Geological Survey field activity 1998-014-FA

Two 21-day field operations were conducted in 1997 and 1998 in the estuaries and on the inner continental shelf off the northern Oregon and southern Washington coast. These cruises aboard the R/V Corliss were run in order to generate reconnaissance maps of the seafloor geology and the shallow subsurface stratigraphy using sidescan-sonar and seismic-reflection mapping techniques. The 1998 cruise also collected sediment grab samples, bottom photographs, and video images to verify the sidescan-sonar imagery and to document the seafloor geology. The combination of these data with previously collected sediment sample data (Robert, 1974; Nittrouer, 1978; and Smith et. al., 1980) has been used to define the extent and lithology of shelf sediments associated with the Columbia River littoral cell. This work is one component of a larger project studying the erosion of the Washington and Oregon coast and is being coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Washington State Department of Ecology. The reason for collecting these data is to provide a regional synthesis of the offshore geology to support a wide variety of management decisions and to provide a basis for further process-oriented investigations.

Airborne Geophysical Surveys over the 2011 Mineral, Virginia, Earthquake Area

The 2011 moment magnitude (Mw) 5.8 central Virginia earthquake was felt by millions of people and caused significant damage in the eastern United States. As part of efforts to better understand the faults and geologic features associated with the earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey commissioned airborne geophysical surveys over the epicentral area. The surveys were conducted from July 15, 2012 - July 25, 2012, by Sander Geophysics Limited. The area was flown along a draped surface with a nominal survey height above ground of 125 meters. The flight line spacing was 200 meters for traverse lines and 2000 meters for control lines. Here we present downloadable gravity, magnetic, and radiometric data from those surveys and summarize research results based on those datasets. The data are provided as image (GeoTiff or kmz), grid (gxf) or flight line (csv) data.

National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) 2015 Cumulative Habitat Condition Scores and Disturbance Indices for Hawaii Linked to Catchments of the Hawai'i Fish Habitat Partnership Stream Layer

This shapefile contains cumulative fish habitat condition index (HCI) scores and specific disturbance indices for local and network stream catchments as well as the downstream main channel catchment of perennial and intermittent streams reaches of the five main island of Hawai'i.  In this dataset indices are linked to the Hawaii Fish Habitat Partnership (HFHP) stream layer (Tingley et al. in prep) which is a modified version of the 1:24,000 National Hydrography Dataset. It includes 11,436 intermittent and perennial stream reaches across the five main Hawaiian Islands (Hawai’i, Maui, Moloka’i, O’ahu, Kaua’i). Catchment attributes are available for both local catchments (defined as the land area draining directly to a reach; attributes begin with "lc_" prefix) and upstream network catchments (defined by all upstream contributing catchments to the reach's outlet, including the reach's own local catchment; attributes begin with "nc_" prefix). Downstream main channel variables for reaches are labeled using a "dm_" prefix.  Detailed methods for creation of disturbance indices as well as cumulative fish habitat condition index scores can be found on the following website:  http://assessment.fishhabitat.org/.

LANDFIRE 2016 Remap Existing Vegetation Height (EVH) Micronesia

LANDFIRE's (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Existing Vegetation Height (EVH) represents the average height of the dominant vegetation for a 30m cell. EVH is produced separately for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms using training data depicting the average height weighted by species cover and Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) lifeform. Decision tree models using field reference data, lidar, Landsat, and ancillary data are developed separately for each lifeform, then lifeform specific height class layers are merged along with land cover into a single EVH product. EVH ranges are continuous for herbaceous lifeform ranging from 0.1 to 1 meter with decimeter increments, 0.1 to 3 meters for shrub lifeform, and 1 to 99 meters for tree lifeform. If the height values of each lifeform exceed the continuous value range, they are binned into the appropriate maximum height class. EVH is then reconciled through QA/QC measures to ensure lifeform is synchronized with both Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) and EVT products. Disturbance events not visible in the source imagery are accounted for by using LF Remap Annual Disturbance products. LF uses EVH as an input for LF Remap Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVH).
