May 2011 Bottom Sediment Class Polygons Covering the Oceanic Nearshore of Assateague Island from Ocean City Inlet to Toms Cove Hook

Bottom sediment class polygons based on acoustic seabed classification data developed from side scan sonar data.  These polygons were created as part of a study, funded by the National Park Service, to create a baseline inventory of submerged marine resources within and immediately adjacent to the Assateague Island National Seashore boundary.  The study area included the Atlantic nearshore area extending out to approximately 1.5 km offshore, along the 58-km Assateague Island shoreline.  In addition to the side scan sonar data, other geophysical data including bathymetry, sub-bottom seismic profiles, sediment, and underwater video imagery, were used to further delineate the bottom class polygons.

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: SLBE

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).

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of King Mountain National Military Park

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.

Photo Date: 10/24/2000, Scale: 1:12,000 Area(ac): 3955

The CIR aerial photographs in transparency format were scanned at 600 dpi (42 μm) using an Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanner. This scanner is capable of scanning materials up to 11x17‖ in size at optical resolutions up to 1200 dpi and is equipped with a backlight attachment for scanning transparent materials. The 600 dpi scanning resolution was selected to balance the resolution requirements for the orthophotos with data storage and processing considerations. The photographs were laid on the scanning surface and, to reduce distortions, a heavy piece of clear glass was placed on top to ensure flatness of the film during scanning. Each photo was then scanned using Adobe Photoshop and saved as a 24-bit color TIFF file. During scanning, care was taken to scan the full frame of the photograph, including the corner fiducial marks and marginal data. File names for the scanned photographs were assigned according to the flight line and frame number. For example, photo 13 from flight line 2 was named 2-13.tif. Photos from each park were stored in separate folders on the CRMS Data server. All photos from each flight line were scanned. For original photos of 1:12,000 and 1:16,000 scales, the resulting pixel sizes were approximately 0.5 m and 0.67 m, respectively. After the photos were scanned, the original film transparencies were turned over to the photointerpreters while the photogrammetric operations continued using the digital data.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

To map the vegetation and land cover of GRSM, 52 map classes were developed. Of these 52 map classes, 46 represent natural (including ruderal) vegetation types, most of which types are recognized in the USNVC. For the remaining 6 of the 52 map classes, 4 represent USNVC cultural types for agricultural and developed areas, and 2 represent non-USNVC types for nonvegetated open water and nonvegetated rock. Features were interpreted from viewing four-band digital aerial imagery using digital onscreen three-dimensional stereoscopic workflow systems in geographic information systems; digital aerial imagery was collected during September 23–October 30, 2015. The interpreted data were digitally and spatially referenced, thus making the spatial-database layers usable in a geographic information system. Polygon units were mapped to either a 0.5- or 0.25- hectare (ha) minimum mapping unit, depending on vegetation type. A geodatabase containing several feature-class layers and tables provides the locations and data of USNVC vegetation types (vegetation map layer), vegetation plots, verification sites, AA sites, project boundary extent, and aerial image centers and flight lines. Covering 210,875 ha, the feature-class layer and related tables for the vegetation map layer provide 34,084 polygons of detailed attribute data when special modifiers are not considered (average polygon size of 6.2 ha) and 36,589 polygons of detailed attribute data when special modifiers are considered (average polygon size of 5.8 ha). Each map polygon is assigned a map-class code and name and, when applicable, are linked to USNVC classification tables within the geodatabase. The vegetation map extent includes the administrative boundary for GRSM and the Foothills Parkway.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Homestead National Monument

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.

The mapping component was initiated by photo interpretation and digitization of 3-band 2001 color infrared (CIR) IKONOS imagery for the vegetation and land use classes determined through the field visit and expert knowledge of project team members. The heads-up digitization was performed at a display scale of 1:1000 to 1:1500. The digitization, evaluation, and modifications were iterative and collaborative processes involving the GIS analysts and the rest of the team. Preliminary maps were checked, corrected, and rechecked for boundary delineations. Final edits were made using the 2009 NAIP imagery, which captured the changes made along the eastern end of the property with the construction of the visitor’s center.

Ground-truth sampling locations, 2014-2015, Cape Cod National Seashore

GIS point data of stations in which biological and sediment grab samples were collected with a Young Modified Van Veen (0.04m squared surface area) by the Center for Coastal studies aboard the R/V Marindin in order to describe the benthic invertebrate community and sediment characteristics of the Pleasant Bay, Nauset Marsh, Wellfleet harbor and Herring Cove Coastal Systems. These data are a part of the Submerged Marine Habitat Mapping Studies project. In addtion A GoPro Hero 3™ was attached to the sampler, and high-resolution video was collected for each sample to aid in bottom characterization and documentation. Water column data was collected using a YSI Castaway® CTD. One cast to the seafloor was conducted at each station to collect conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) data after the boat had been anchored at the station, but before collecting the grab samples.

Wet meadow and fen mapping of Yosemite National Park (geodatabase)

The Wet Meadows and Fens geodatabase of Yosemite National Park (YOSE) was produced over a three month period (December 2013 through February 2014). The resulting products are intended to: 

(1) Identify and classify all target wetlands (wet meadows and fens) >0.5 hectare in the park and provide an estimate of the proportion of each feature which is peat accumulating. Over 1600 polygons represent wetlands in three mapping classes: wet meadows, fen-meadow complexes, and fens.

(2) Identify locations of fens within the park boundary. More than 500 fen points identify locations where fens are known or presumed to occur.

Mapped polygons are based on photo interpretation of Natural Color and Color Infrared NAIP aerial photography from 2005, 2009, 2010, and 2012 as well as Google Earth and the ESRI World Imagery Basemap. Ancillary data informing mapping decisions included the YOSE Vegetation map, the National Wetlands Inventory Wetland Layer, the YOSE Rivers and Streams Layer, the Yosemite Contiguous Meadow Survey data, and YOSE Meadow Gridpoints. 

Overall spatial accuracy of the resulting map products is equivalent to 1:24000 National Map Accuracy Standards. 

These geospatial data are provided in Esri File Geodatabase format containing: (1) a polygon feature class depicting wet meadow and fen delineations; and (2) a point feature class indicating the locations of fens within the park boundary. Detailed metadata are provided in XML format and basic metadata are provided in PDF format.
