This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

Two digital orthophoto mosaics, leaf-on (fall) and leaf-off (spring), were created for Booker T. Washington National Monument. Kucera International acquired color infrared, stereo pair 1:6,000 scale aerial photography for the leaf-on mosaic on October 22, 2001 and for the leaf-off mosaic on February 19, 2002. The photography was delivered to the NPS, quality checked, accepted as provided, and sent to NCSU-CEO. Upon receipt at NCSU-CEO, the air photos were counted to make sure that none were missing, scanned, saved in .tif format, and placed in the data archive maintained at North Carolina State University for the NPS Northeast Region Inventory and Monitoring Program. Associated data and information provided by Kucera International that are also stored in the data archive include the airborne global positioning system (GPS) and inertial mapping unit (IMU) data files, the camera calibration certificates for the cameras, and the hardcopy flight reports for the photography that crosswalk the airborne GPS and IMU data to the photo frame numbers.

Forest Carnivore Inventory in North Cascades National Park tabular data

Inventory of forest carnivore species and distribution tabular data for North Cascades National Park, 2003-2005. We investigated the potential occurrence of forest carnivores in North Cascades National Park Service Complex from late January to mid-May in 2003 and 2004. We sampled 39 blocks that were each 4mi2 with 2 camera stations in each block (78 individual cameras). From 2,184 operable camera/nights we recorded 1,734 identifiable photos of 13 mammal and 5 bird species. American marten (Martes americana) and spotted skunk (Spilogale gracilis) were the most frequently recorded carnivore species, found in 64% (1,125 photos) and 23% (313 photos) of the sampling blocks, respectively. No detections were made of fisher, wolverine or lynx. Sample size and safety constraints may have limited our ability to detect these more elusive and rare carnivore species.

The 2003-2004 effort was continued during 2005 with funding from Seattle City Light.  These tabular data are presented separately from the 2003-2004 data, but the same protocol was used to collect the 2005 observations.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

Aerial photographs were obtained by Kucera International, flown in April 2002, at a scale of 1:6000. The delineation of mapping polygons using onscreen digitizing is greatly facilitated by the availability of a single seamless digital image of the target area (i.e. extent of park). This is accomplished by scanning hard copies of aerial photography to create digital images and then geo-referencing and ortho-correcting each scanned image. These individual images are then digitally joined to create a single seamless digital aerial photo mosaic. The positional accuracy of the photo mosaic is then assessed by obtaining actual field coordinates for distinct landmarks in the digital image using global positioning system equipment. Field and digital image coordinates are then compared to assess the spatial accuracy of the digital image.

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: GRSM

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

New River Gorge National River (WV): Natural Resource Condition Assessment NPS/NERI/NRR—2018/1622 - related geospatial dataset

New River Gorge National River (NERI) is located in south-central West Virginia along an 85-km stretch of the New River within the Appalachian Mountain chain. NERI conserves the outstanding natural, scenic, and historic values of the landscape immediately surrounding, and including, the New River Gorge. This conservation extends to the New River itself—a free-flowing river that supports small-mouth bass, freshwater mussels, native fish, and rare riparian plants. The landscape surrounding the New River main stem is a mosaic of mature and maturing forests, tributary streams, floodplains, and dramatic sandstone cliffs. This landscape has been shaped by a history of human occupation and resource extraction (e.g. mining, timbering, flood control).
Natural resources presented in this Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) can be divided into five general areas: air resources, geologic resources, water-related resources, plant resources, and terrestrial wildlife. Within each of these general areas, specific natural resources were assessed as follows:
• Air resources– acoustic environment, night sky, visibility, ozone, sulfur and nitrogen deposition, mercury/toxics, climate change, scenic vistas
• Geologic resources—mass movements, cliff communities
• Water-related resources—water quality (main stem and tributaries), fish, aquatic invertebrates, salamanders
• Plant resources—xeric plants (e.g. rimrock pine), mixed mesophytic forest, eastern hemlock, Appalachian flatrock/riverscour prairies, rare and medicinal plants
• Terrestrial wildlife --- Allegheny woodrat, bat communities, birds, game species.
The approach of this NRCA was to use existing data to evaluate the condition of natural resources at NERI. Thresholds for condition (good, moderate concern, and significant concern) were obtained from a variety of resources such as federal and state regulations (e.g. water quality criteria), peerreviewed literature, research reports, and, in some cases, best professional judgment. If possible, trends in the condition (improving, deteriorating, or unchanging) were also evaluated. Finally, an estimate of the confidence in the assessment was provided based on the quality and quantity of available information (high, medium, low confidence). The assessment of condition used standardized symbology provided by NRCA guidelines.

Color infrared, stereo pair 1:6,000 scale aerial photography for a digital orthophoto mosaic of Fort Necessity National Battlefield was acquired from an overflight on April 13, 2003 (i.e., during leaf-off conditions) by Kucera International. The photography was delivered to the National Park Service (NPS), quality checked, accepted as provided, and sent to North Carolina State University (NCSU). Upon receipt at NCSU, the air photos were counted to make sure that none were missing, scanned, and placed in the air photo archive maintained at NCSU for the NPS Northeast Region Inventory & Monitoring Program. Associated data and information provided by Kucera, and also stored in the air photo archive, include the airborne GPS/IMU files, the camera calibration certificate for the camera, and the hardcopy flight report for the photography that crosswalks the airborne GPS/IMU data to the photo frame numbers. The mosaic was produced from 41 color infrared air photos scanned at 1200 dpi with 24-bit color depth. The scanned images of the air photos were imported into ERDAS Imagine (.img) format where a photo block was created using airborne GPS and IMU data that Kucera International supplied with the aerial photography. After receiving the digital orthophoto mosaic from North Carolina State University, ecologists at the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program developed a formation-level vegetation map. Aerial photointerpretation was informed by viewing the diapositives through a stereoscope, viewing the digital mosaic onscreen, and overlaying the formation-level polygons onto digital topographic quad maps.
