An Unvegetated to Vegetated Ratio (UVVR) for coastal wetlands of the Gulf of Mexico Coast - 2005

Prior research has shown that sediment budgets, and therefore stability, of microtidal marsh complexes scale with areal unvegetated to vegetated marsh ratios (UVVR) suggesting these metrics are broadly applicable indicators of microtidal marsh vulnerability. This effort has developed the UVVR metric using readily available satellite imagery for the coastal areas of the contiguous United States (CONUS). These datasets provide annual averages of the 1) unvegetated fraction, 2) vegetated fraction, 3) water fraction and 4) an unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR) at 30-meter resolution over the coastal areas of the contiguous United States for the year 2005. Additionally, multi-year average values of vegetated ratio, its standard deviation and a UVVR based on the annually-averaged vegetated ratio are provided for the coastal wetlands of the contiguous United States.

Mean tidal range of marsh units in Atlantic-facing New Jersey salt marshes

This data release contains coastal wetland synthesis products for the Atlantic-facing New Jersey salt marshes. Metrics for resiliency, including the unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), marsh elevation, and tidal range, are calculated for smaller units delineated from a digital elevation model, providing the spatial variability of physical factors that influence wetland health. The U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands with the intent of providing federal, state, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services.

STATSGO Soil Thickness (THICK) Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF for the Continental US

This data release reformats the STATSGO soil thickness (THICK) dataset (Schwarz and Alexander, 1995) as a cloud-optimized GeoTIFF (COG). The COG format allows standard software tools to efficiently access the datasets over an internet connection. The soil thickness values have units of inches. Please refer to the documentation of the source archive (Schwarz and Alexander, 1995) for additional details on the underlying dataset.
The COG dataset spans the continental US at a nominal 30 meter resolution. The spatial reference is EPSG:5069. Each COG uses a float32 precision, and the NoData value (NaN) indicates raster pixels not covered by the original STATSGO dataset. The COG also includes non-physical values of -0.1, which were used by the source dataset to mark large water bodies.
The COG format uses compression internally to reduce file size. As such, reading large portions of a COG into memory can require much more RAM than the nominal file size. This COG will require ~60GB of memory to read in full.
This dataset can be reproduced by running the `rasterize_statsgo.py` Python script included in this dataset's parent folder (https://doi.org/10.5066/P13WAPYV). Please refer to the script for documentation and usage instructions.

Aerial images from a UAS survey of the debris flow at South Fork Campground, Sequoia National Park, CA

This portion of the data release presents aerial images of the debris flow at South Fork Campground in Sequoia National Park. The images were acquired during an uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) survey on 30 April 2024, conducted under authorization from the National Park Service. The imagery was acquired with a Ricoh GR II digital camera featuring a global shutter. The camera was mounted to the UAS using a fixed mount, in an approximately nadir orientation. The camera was set to acquire images at 1 hertz, using an external intervalometer. The UAS was flown on pre-programmed autonomous flight lines spaced to provide approximately 70 percent overlap between images from adjacent lines, from an approximate altitude of 110 meters above ground level (AGL), resulting in a nominal ground-sample-distance (GSD) of 2.9 centimeters per pixel. The images were geotagged using positions from the UAS onboard single-frequency autonomous GPS. The original images were acquired in Adobe DNG format but have been converted to JPG format to reduce their size and to facilitate distribution. During the conversion, adjustments were made to the exposure value (EV), to improve image brightness. Only the images which were used for the creation of the topographic data products (also presented in this data release) have been included. Images of the takeoff and landing sequence, as well as images from outside the area of interest have been omitted.

Digital Surface Model (DSM) from UAS survey of the debris flow at South Fork Campground, Sequoia National Park, CA

This portion of the data release presents a high-resolution Digital Surface Models (DSM) of the debris flow at South Fork Campground in Sequoia National Park. The DSM has a resolution of 10 centimeters per pixel and was derived from structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry using aerial imagery acquired during an uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) survey on 30 April 2024, conducted under authorization from the National Park Service. The raw imagery was acquired with a Ricoh GR II digital camera featuring a global shutter. The UAS was flown on pre-programmed autonomous flight lines spaced to provide approximately 70 percent overlap between images from adjacent lines, from an approximate altitude of 110 meters above ground level (AGL), resulting in a nominal ground-sample-distance (GSD) of 2.9 centimeters per pixel. The raw imagery was geotagged using positions from the UAS onboard single-frequency autonomous GPS. Survey control was established using temporary ground control points (GCPs) consisting of a combination of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and temporary chalk marks placed on the ground. The GCP positions were measured using dual-frequency real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS with corrections referenced to a static base station operating nearby. The images and GCP positions were used for structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetric processing to create a topographic point cloud, a high-resolution orthomosaic image, and a DSM. The DSM is provided in a cloud optimized GeoTIFF format with internal overviews and masks to facilitate cloud-based queries and display.
