Color GeoTIFF Image of the Bathymetry of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11322 in Western Rhode Island Sound (H11322_UTM.TIF, UTM 19)

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is working cooperatively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to interpret the surficial geology in estuaries along the coast of the northeastern United States. The purpose of our present study is to define the sea floor morphology and sedimentary environments in an area of western Rhode Island Sound using sidescan-sonar imagery and bathymetry data collected aboard the NOAA Ship RUDE, as well as historic seismic records. The mosaic, bathymetry, and their interpretations serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and the distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research, monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan-sonar mosaics and bathymetry images also serve as base maps for subsequent sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because precise information on environmental setting is important for selection of sampling sites and for accurate interpretations of point measurements.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the Beaver-North Canadian River from the panhandle to Canton Lake in northwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital polygons of a constant
recharge value for the alluvial and terrace deposits along the
Beaver-North Canadian River from the panhandle to Canton Lake in
northwestern Oklahoma. Ground water in 830 square miles of the
Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace aquifer is an important
source of water for irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock,
and domestic supplies. The aquifer consists of poorly sorted,
fine to coarse, unconsolidated quartz sand with minor amounts of
clay, silt, and basal gravel. The hydraulically connected
alluvial and terrace deposits unconformably overlie the
Tertiary-age Ogallala Formation and Permian-age formations.
A recharge rate of 1 inch per year was estimated in the
ground-water modeling report for the alluvial and terrace
deposits and used in this data set. The recharge rate was
estimated using a base-flow method and a monthly-water-balance
method.
The features in the data set representing boundaries along
geological contacts were extracted from a published digital
surficial geology data set based on a scale of 1:250,000. The
geographic limits of the aquifer were digitized from a folded
paper map, at a scale of 1:250,000 in the ground-water
modeling report.
Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that
simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique;
different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce
similar results. Therefore, values of recharge used in the
model and presented in this data set are not precise, but are
within a reasonable range when compared to independently
collected data.

HW1_250M_LCC_WGS84.TIF - Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar composite mosaic (LCC, 250 m, WGS84)

Survey of the southeastern Hawaiian Ridge was the fifth major segment of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) mapping program to have been initiated. Data acquisition for this region required approximately one-half year and were acquired during eight cruises over a four year period from 1986 through 1989, skipping 1987. At the conclusion of the survey a total of 29 mosaics of 50-meter resolution were completed for the region. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the sea-floor. A total of 29 digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree area and 2 mosaics of 2.25 degree by 2 degree with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) CONUS

The LANDFIRE (LF) Remap Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) represents a modified pre-disturbance version of the Existing Vegetation Height (EVH) product from previous LF versions. LF Remap EVH is mapped as continuous estimates of canopy height for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms with a potential range from 0m to 50m or more. To translate continuous EVH values into fuel model assignments, EVH values are binned to new groups to improve canopy fuel predictions. FVH leverages fuel transition assignments related to disturbed areas by re-establishing pre-disturbance vegetation and was developed using the full suite of LF vegetation releases and the most recent 10 years of disturbance data. FVH 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. This new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in this example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php

LANDFIRE Remap 2016 Vegetation Departure (VDep) CONUS

LANDFIRE's (LF) Remap Vegetation Departure (VDep) product categorizes departure between current vegetation condition and reference vegetation condition, according to the methods outlined in the Interagency Fire Regime Condition Class Guidebook [FRCC Guidebook (Hann et al 2010)]. VDep differs from the FRCC Guidebook, however, because it is based on the departure of current vegetation condition only, whereas the FRCC Guidebook approach includes departure of current fire regimes for the reference period. For VDep, summary units are defined as a BioPhysical Setting (BpS) with identical reference condition values regardless of map zone. For example, when a BpS is present in map zone 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8, the reference conditions for this BpS are identical in map zones 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8, those map zones become a summary unit for VDep computation. Since reference conditions are unique for this BpS in map zone 6, it is a separate summary unit for calculating VDep. Within each BpS summary unit, we compare the reference percentage of each Succession Class (SClass) to the current percentage, then the smaller of the two is summed to determine the similarity index for the BpS. This value is then subtracted from 100 to determine the departure value, VDep value is always between 0 and 100, with 100 representing maximum departure. 
Reference conditions are derived from quantitative vegetation dynamics models that mimic native disturbance regimes. The current conditions are derived from the corresponding LF Remap SClass data. The proportion of the landscape occupied by each SClass, in each BpS unit, within each summary unit represents current condition of that SClass in VDep calculation. VDep is based entirely on the remaining area of each BpS unit that is occupied by valid SClasses.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 shoreline intersection points used to calculate long-term shoreline change statistics excluding the 1970-1979 and 1994 shorelines within the South Shore coastal region from Hewitts Cove in Hingham to the Cape Cod Canal in Sandwich (SouthShore_intersects_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 in total length) 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).
