LANDFIRE Remap 2016 Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) CONUS

LANDFIRE's (LF) Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) represents the current distribution of the terrestrial ecological systems classification developed by NatureServe for the western hemisphere. In this 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.

Digital database for the geologic map along the southern Bartlett Springs fault zone and adjacent area between Cache Creek and Lake Berryessa, Northern Coast Ranges, California

This geologic map database is comprised of new geologic mapping, at a 1:24,000 scale, along the southern Bartlett Springs fault in the northern California Coast Ranges. The map covers an area of 258 square miles in Lake, Napa, Colusa, and Yolo counties, work was undertaken between 2016 and 2021, and supported by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Map Program. This geodatabase contains the most up-to-date and highest resolution mapping in the region. Results and observations reported here help elucidate the geologic deformational history, as well as relationships between active older and active structures. Please consult the map pamphlet and description of map units for a detailed presentation and interpretation of data and discussion of results. The report and geodatabase contain two plates including the geologic map as well as a correlation of map units, four geologic cross sections, six microseismic cross sections, and a microseismicity fault map.

A database of artisanal, small-scale, and large-scale mining in the Copperbelt region of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia

Cobalt, designated a critical mineral by the European Union and the United States, is a crucial component of the lithium-ion batteries found in cell phones, electric vehicles, and personal computing devices. Over half of the world’s cobalt supply is produced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where cobalt is mined in both large-scale and artisanal or small-scale operations. This dataset focuses on Africa’s mineral-rich Copperbelt region, an area mined for both copper and cobalt, that extends south across the DRC boundary into neighboring Zambia. Existing geoscientific data and remote sensing analysis were investigated to build a comprehensive dataset describing cobalt mining extent and technique (large- or artisanal/small-scale).

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021 Site 6299 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

Cocos Island, Guam Brown Treesnake Rapid Response Visual Survey and Capture Data,10/2020 - 05/2023

These data were generated during a USGS Rapid Response for brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) on Cocos Island Guam (Islan Dåno’, Guåhan in CHamoru). They represent data collected during nocturnal visual surveys for brown treesnakes and data associated with captured snakes, effort during visual surveys as time and distance, as well as lizards, birds, and bats encountered during transect surveys. These data represent all data collected from the onset of the rapid response in October 2020 through a typhoon that caused major site disturbance in May 2023. Data represent only USGS efforts during the specified time period. Additional data may be available for other organizations operating during the specified time period.

Geodatabase of the datasets used to represent the 4 subareas of the Lower Cretaceous aquifer, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming

This geodatabase includes spatial datasets which represent the Lower Cretaceous 
aquifer system in the States of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, 
North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Included are: (1) a polygon dataset 
that represents the aquifer system extent, (2) raster datasets for the altitude of 
each aquifer subarea, (3) altitude and thickness contours (plus thickness fault 
lines) used to generate the surface rasters, (4) georeferenced images of the 
figures that were digitized to create the altitude and thickness contours. The 
images and digitized contours are supplied for reference. 
		
The extent of the Lower Cretaceous aquifer for all subareas was produced from 
the linework of the Lower Cretaceous aquifers maps in U.S. Geological Survey 
Professional Paper 1414-E (USGS PP 1414-E) Plate 6, U.S. Geological Survey 
Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4153 (USGS WRIR 84-4153) Plate 1, 
and the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Atlas 730 (USGS HA-730). A digital 
version of the HA-730 Lower Cretaceous aquifer extent is presented in the 
Groundwater Atlas of the United States (the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic 
Atlas 730-D,(USGS HA 730-D), 730-I (USGS HA 730-I), and 730-J (USGS HA 730-J. 
		
The Lower Cretaceous Aquifer System has 4 aquifer subareas: (SA1) Great Plains 
aquifer, (SA2) Iowa aquifer, (SA3) Minnesota aquifer, and (SA4) Northern Great 
Plains aquifer. 
		
The altitude lines for the top of SA1 and SA4 were digitized from georeferenced 
figures of altitude contours in USGS PP 1414-E Plate 4 and USGS PP 1402-B 
Plate 1. Altitude lines for the top of SA3 were digitized from WRIR 84-4153 
Figure 5. The top of SA2 was derived from the thickness contours for SA2, 
USGS PP 1414-E Figure 16. Areas of overlap between subareas were deleted, 
based on available original data. The altitude values and thickness values were 
interpolated into surface rasters within a GIS using tools that create hydrologically 
correct surfaces from contour data, derives the altitude from the thickness (depth 
from the land surface), and merge the subareas into a single surface. The primary 
tool was "Topo to Raster" used in ArcGIS, ArcMap, Esri 2014. The raster surfaces 
were corrected for the areas where the altitude of the top of the aquifer exceeded 
the land surface, and where the bottom of an aquifer exceeded the altitude of the 
corrected top of the aquifer. For a more detailed description of the processes used 
by the data compiler, please see the Supplementary Information section.
