LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) Micronesia

The LANDFIRE 2016 Remap (LF Remap) Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) calculates fuelbed characteristics and their potential fire behavior and effects. LF defines fuelbed as: the inherent physical characteristics of fuel that contribute to fire behavior and effects (Riccardi et al. 2007). FCCS represents the composition of fuels, and features six horizontal fuel layers called stratums (canopy, shrubs, herbs, downed wood, litter and duff). FCCS can be used for predicting surface fire behavior, crown fire potential, and fuel availability. FCCS fuelbeds are included preloaded in the US Forest Service (USFS) Fuel and Fire Tools (FFT) application. 
LF collaborated with the Fire and Environmental Research Applications (FERA) team of the USFS Pacific Northwest Research Station for creation of the FCCS product. Rule-based methods for crosswalks and mapping FCCS fuelbeds are constructed from the LF Remap Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) product. The EVT-to-fuelbed crosswalk rules often allow for several possibilities for fuelbeds; expert opinion is used to assign the most representative fuelbed and to determine where additional fuelbed development is necessary. FCCS fuelbed mapping should be considered a starting point and customized to represent sampled fuels within a project area. FCCS is a capable fuels product, capable fuels calculate TSD assignments for disturbed areas using an effective year. For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php. See the FCCS product page on the LF website for additional details https://www.landfire.gov/fccs.php.

HW2_Q51.TIF - Hawaii II - Central Hawaii U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (22 of 24) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology, launched a program using the Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic (GLORIA) sidescan-sonar system to study the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). From 1988 through 1991, the USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted several surveys within the U.S. EEZ off Hawaii. Nine surveys during that time period focused on the central Hawaii region. The results of these surveys were 24 digital mosaics of approximately a 2 degree by 2 degree area with a 50-meter pixel resolution.

RES2DINV Format Continuous Resistivity Profiles from Cape Cod National Seashore, May 17, 2004

Continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys were conducted at Cape Cod National Seashore in 2004 and 2006 in order to test hypotheses about groundwater flow under and into estuaries and the Atlantic Ocean. Coastal resource managers here and elsewhere are concerned about nutrients that are entering coastal waters via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. CRP is used to measure electrical resistivity of sediments, a property that is sensitive to differences in salinity of submarine ground water. The 2004 and 2006 surveys used floating resistivity streamers of 100 m and 50 m respectively. The depth penetration of the streamers is approximately 20% of the streamer length which translates to approximately 20-25 m with the 100 m streamer and 12-14 m with the 50 m streamer. These data were processed using AGI's EarthImager 2D software.

Grid Representing the Holocene Ravinement Surface off the Coast of Washington and Oregon

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.

Rain measurements in and near the CZU Lightning Complex Fire area, Santa Cruz Mountains, California, 2020 to 2021.

Rainfall measurements were collected in and near the CZU Lightning Complex Fire (hereafter, "CZU Fire") burn area, Santa Cruz Mountains, California. The CZU Fire ignited in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California, on August 16, 2020. By the time of full containment on September 22, 2020, the fire had burned 350 km2 (86,510 acres) in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) installed four rain gages in and near the CZU Fire burn area to measure rainfall during the post-fire wet seasons.  The USGS gratefully acknowledges the cooperation of Big Basin Redwoods State Park, the Big Creek Lumber Co., the McCrary family, and Brookdale Lodge in the collection of these data.

Sea Turtle Nesting Decision Points and Cross-Shore Beach Profile Data Collected on May 26, 2021, from Melbourne Beach, Florida

On May 26, 2021, surveys were conducted on ‘high-density’ sea turtle nesting areas located on Melbourne Beach, Florida. This dataset, Melbourne_20210526.zip, was collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) and includes sea turtle nesting decision point locations (.csv) and cross-shore beach profiles (.xyz) at those locations. Utilizing previously published methods for collecting beach profile data (Henderson and others, 2016; Brown and others, 2018), data were acquired by USGS scientists walking along cross-shore transect lines while carrying a survey backpack that was equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and GNSS antenna. The horizontal position data are provided in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, Zone 17 North (17N), referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), and the elevation data are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), GEOID12B.

LANDFIRE 2016 Remap National Vegetation Classification (NVC) Marshall Islands

LANDFIRE's (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) National Vegetation Classification (NVC) represents the current distribution of vegetation groups within the U.S. National Vegetation Classification System ([version 2.0] http://usnvc.org/). Groups within the NVC IAerarchy are defined as combinations of relatively narrow sets of diagnostic plant species, including dominants and co-dominants, broadly similar composition, and diagnostic growth forms. NVC groups are mapped using decision tree models informed by field reference data, Landsat imagery, elevation data, and biophysical gradient inputs. NVC models are developed separately for each lifeform, including sparse vegetation,  and for each Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Level III Ecoregion (https://www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecoregions). Riparian, alpine, sparse and other site-specific EVTs are constrained by predetermined masks. Urban and developed areas are derived from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), whereas agricultural lands originate from the Cropland Data Layer (CDL) and Common Land Unit (CLU) database. Developed ruderal classes are identified by combining wildland-urban-interface (WUI) data with population density information from the US Census Bureau. Annual Disturbance products are included to describe areas that have experienced landscape change within the previous 10-year period. NVC is reconciled through QA/QC measures to ensure lifeform is synchronized with both Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) and Height (EVH) products.

Altitudes of the top of model layers for the transient ground-water flow model, Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital data set defines the altitudes of the tops of 16 model layers simulated in the Death Valley 
regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) transient flow model. The area simulated by the DVRFS 
transient ground-water flow model is an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern 
Nevada and California. The thickness of model layers is derived by sequentially subtracting the altitudes 
of the uppermost to the lowermost model layers. Most model layers range in thickness from 50 to more 
than 300 meters, and thickness generally increases with depth (Faunt and others, 2004). The upper model 
layers are used to simulate relatively shallow flow primarily through basin-fill sediments and volcanic rocks 
and adjacent mountain ranges. The lower layers predominantly simulate deep flow through a regional 
carbonate-rock aquifer beneath the basin fill and mountain ranges in the DVRFS. The DVRFS transient 
ground-water flow model is one of the most recent in a number of regional-scale models developed by the 
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the 
Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8).

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer in southwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital aquifer boundaries for the
Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer in southwestern Oklahoma.
The Tillman terrace aquifer encompasses the unconsolidated
terrace deposits and alluvium associated with the North Fork of
the Red River and the Red River in the western half of Tillman
County. These sediments consist of discontinuous layers of clay,
sandy clay, sand, and gravel. The aquifer extends over an area
of 285 square miles and is used for irrigation and domestic
purposes. Granite and the Hennessey Formation outcrop in
northern parts of the aquifer where alluvial deposits are
absent. These outcrops were included as part of the aquifer in a
thesis that modeled the ground-water flow in the aquifer.
		
Most of the aquifer boundary polygons were extracted from a
published digital surficial geology data set based on a scale of
1:250,000. One of the lines in the aquifer boundary data set was
digitized from a figure in a thesis in which ground-water
flow was modeled for the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer.

The Extended Global Lake area, Climate, and Population Dataset (GLCP)

A changing climate and increasing human population necessitate understanding global freshwater availability and temporal variability. To examine lake freshwater availability from local-to-global and monthly-to-decadal scales, we created the Global Lake area, Climate, and Population (GLCP) dataset, which contains annual lake surface area for 1.42 million lakes with paired annual basin-level climate and population data. Building off an existing data product infrastructure, the next generation of the GLCP includes monthly lake ice area, snow basin area, and more climate variables including specific humidity, longwave and shortwave radiation, as well as cloud cover. The new generation of the GLCP continues previous FAIR data efforts by expanding its scripting repository and maintaining unique relational keys for merging with external data products. Compared to the original version, the new GLCP contains an even richer suite of variables capable of addressing disparate analyses of lake water trends at wide spatial and temporal scales.

Hydrologic landscape regions of Nevada

Hydrologic landscape regions group areas according to their similarity in landscape and climate characteristics.  
These characteristics represent variables assumed to affect hydrologic processes in the environment.  Hydrologic 
landscape regions in Nevada were delineated using geographic information system tools and statistical methods 
including cluster analysis. The data layers of hydrogeology, precipitation, soil permeability, land surface slope 
and aspect were used to identify the hydrologic landscape regions. Sixteen hydrologic landscape regions were 
identified through cluster analysis. The hydrologic landscape regions are noncontiguous in nature and can range 
from small areas which tend to be in the mountain ranges to very large areas in the basins.
