Nevada Department of Water Resources State Crop Inventories for Newark, Little Smoky, and Steptoe Valleys 2000, 2002, and 2005

This layer is geographically based on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and 
U.S. General Land Office Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB) 
1:24,000-scale Land survey Information System Data Base (LSIS) data for the 
states of Nevada and Utah sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 
Digital Line Graph (DLG) dataset. Tabular data is derived from the Nevada 
Division of Water Resources (NDWR) Crop Inventory Data.  NDWR inventories 
irrigated acreage for Newark and Steptoe Valleys on an annual basis. Estimates 
of irrigated acreage are developed from observations made during field work 
performed primarily during the August through December time period and are 
reported annually in a series of crop inventories. The Newark Valley inventory 
includes irrigation in the northern part of Little Smoky Valley. NDWR crop 
inventories identify and define irrigated acreage by township, range, section, 
quarter section, and quarter-quarter section. Only NDWR crop inventories for 
2000, 2002, and 2005 are stored in the geodatabase.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 transects and long-term linear regression shoreline change statistics without shorelines from 1970-1979 and 1994 within the Nantucket coastal region including the Nantucket Sound-  and Atlantic Ocean- facing coasts of Nantucket, Muskeget and Tuckernuck Islands (Nantucket_transects_rates_LTwo.shp)

Due to continued coastal population growth and increased threats of erosion, current data on trends and rates of shoreline movement are required to inform shoreline and floodplain management. The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management launched the Shoreline Change Project in 1989 to identify erosion-prone areas of the coast. In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast.
The Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, has compiled reliable historical shoreline data along open-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast under the Massachusetts Shoreline Change Mapping and Analysis Project 2013 Update. Two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts (approximately 1,800 km) were (1) delineated using 2008/09 color aerial orthoimagery, and (2) extracted from topographic LIDAR datasets (2007) obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center. The new shorelines were integrated with existing Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and USGS historical shoreline data in order to compute long- and short-term rates using the latest version of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).

LANDFIRE 2016 Remap Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) Guam Northern Mariana Islands

LANDFIRE's (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) represents the current distribution of the terrestrial ecological systems classification developed by NatureServe for the western hemisphere. In the context, a terrestrial ecological system is defined as a group of plant community types that tend to co-occur within landscapes with similar ecological processes, substrates, and/or environmental gradients. EVT also includes ruderal or semi-natural vegetation types within the U.S. National Vegetation Classification [(NVC) http://usnvc.org/]. See the EVT product page (https://www.landfire.gov/evt.php) for more information about ecological systems and NVC. EVT is mapped using decision tree models, field data, Landsat imagery, elevation, and biophysical gradient data. Decision tree models are developed separately for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms which are then used to produce a lifeform specific EVT product. These models are generated 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. EVT is then reconciled through QA/QC measures to ensure lifeform is synchronized with both Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) and Height (EVH) products.

Katrina_R3_elevation: Modeling the impacts of sand placement strategies on barrier island evolution in a semi-enclosed bay system: model input and results

Using version 5527 of the XBeach numerical model (Roelvink and others, 2009), barrier island morphological change was simulated at Little Dauphin Island, Alabama (AL) under different storm scenarios and restoration alternatives as described in Passeri and others (2025). The two-dimensional XBeach model can be applied to barrier islands to solve for time-dependent elevations (topography and bathymetry). The XBeach model setup requires the input of topographic and bathymetric elevations at each grid cell. Model inputs and outputs in the form of elevation at each grid cell are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Passeri and others (2025).

Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.3 transects with end-point rate calculations for exposed shorelines between the Okpilak-Hulahula River Delta and Colville River Delta  for the time period 1947 to 2007

The Arctic Coastal Plain of northern Alaska is an area of strategic economic importance to the United States, is home to remote Native American communities, and encompasses unique habitats of global significance. Coastal erosion along the north coast of Alaska is chronic, widespread, may be accelerating, and is threatening defense and energy-related infrastructure, natural shoreline habitats, and Native communities. There is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes across the United States. To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change. Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments. The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast. The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

SIR2012-5282 Surficial Geology: Hydrogeology of the Susquehanna River valley-fill aquifer system and adjacent areas in eastern Broome and southeastern Chenango Counties, New York

The hydrogeology of the valley-fill aquifer system along a 32-mile reach of the Susquehanna River 
valley and adjacent areas was evaluated in eastern Broome and southeastern Chenango Counties, 
New York. The surficial geology, inferred ice-marginal positions, and distribution of stratified-drift 
aquifers were mapped from existing data. Ice-marginal positions, which represent pauses in the 
retreat of glacial ice from the region, favored the accumulation of coarse-grained deposits whereas 
more steady or rapid ice retreat between these positions favored deposition of fine-grained lacustrine 
deposits with limited coarse-grained deposits at depth. Unconfined aquifers with thick saturated 
coarse-grained deposits are the most favorable settings for water-resource development, and three 
several-mile-long sections of valley were identified (mostly in Broome County) as potentially favorable: 
(1) the southernmost valley section, which extends from the New YorkPennsylvania border to about 
1 mile north of South Windsor, (2) the valley section that rounds the west side of the umlaufberg 
(an isolated bedrock hill within a valley) north of Windsor, and (3) the eastwest valley section at the 
Broome County Chenango County border from Nineveh to East of Bettsburg (including the lower reach 
of the Cornell Brook valley). Fine-grained lacustrine deposits form extensive confining units between 
the unconfined areas, and the water-resource potential of confined aquifers is largely untested.Recharge,
or replenishment, of these aquifers is dependent not only on infiltration of precipitation directly on 
unconfined aquifers, but perhaps more so from precipitation that falls in adjacent upland areas. 
Surface runoff and shallow groundwater from the valley walls flow downslope and recharge valley 
aquifers. Tributary streams that drain upland areas lose flow as they enter main valleys on permeable 
alluvial fans. This infiltrating water also recharges valley aquifers.Current (2012) use of water resources 
in the area is primarily through domestic wells, most of which are completedin fractured bedrock in 
upland areas. A few villages in the Susquehanna River valley have supply wells that draw water from 
beneath alluvial fans and near the Susquehanna River, which is a large potential source of water from 
induced infiltration.

Wetted channel and bar features for the Coquille River, Oregon 1967

The Coquille River system is an unregulated system that encompasses 2,745 square kilometers of southwestern 
Oregon and flows into the Pacific Ocean near the town of Bandon, Oregon. Beginning in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, 
the South Fork Coquille River gains the Middle Fork Coquille River (drainage area 798 square kilometers) and shortly thereafter the 
North Fork Coquille River (749 square kilometers). In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey 
completed a reconnaissance-level assessment of channel condition and bed-material transport relevant to the permitting of in-stream 
gravel extraction along the the South Fork Coquille River from river kilometer (RKM) 115.4 near its confluence with Upper Land Creek 
to RKM 58.5 at its confluence with the North Fork Coquille River, the mainstem Coquille River from RKM 58.5 at the confluence of the 
South and North Forks of the Coquille River to its mouth, the Middle Fork Coquille River from RKM 15.4 to its confluence with the 
South Fork Coquille River, and the North Fork Coquille River from RKM 14.6 to its confluence with the South Fork Coquille River. To 
support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions in the Coquille River basin 
from different time periods. GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and channel centerline of Hunter Creek were 
developed for four time periods: 1939, 1967, 2005, and 2009. For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically 
inundated during annual high flows, and includes the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel 
bars. The wetted channel and bar feature datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1939 
and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaicked for this project (See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the 
rectification process and resolution of each dataset). Digital orthophotographs from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available.

LANDFIRE Remap Scott and Burgan Fire Behavior Fuel Model (FBFM40) Palau

LANDFIRE’s (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Scott and Burgan Fire Behavior Fuel Model 40 (FBFM40) product represents distinct distributions of fuel loadings found among surface fuel components (live and dead), size classes, and fuel types (Scott &amp; Burgan 2005). The fuel models are described by the most common fire carrying fuel type (grass, brush, timber, or slash), loading and surface area-to-volume ratio by size class and component, fuel bed depth, and moisture of extinction. FBFM40 contains more fuel models for every fuel type than Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Model 13 (FBFM13), and the number of fuel models representing relatively High dead fuel moisture content is increased. In FBFM40 fuel models with an herbaceous component are dynamic, to simulate curing, rather than remaining constant. 
LF Remap used vegetation products and 10-years of disturbance data to create Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT), Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) for disturbed areas to represent pre-disturbance scenarios in FBFM40. A combination of pre-disturbance and non-disturbance Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) are used to assign surface fuel models. FBFM40 was developed using the most recent 10 years of Annual Disturbance products and is a capable fuels product that calculates Time Since Disturbance (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.
