Carrying Out Climate Scenario Planning for the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

Drawing upon experience using scenario planning to help local communities prepare for climate change in the Tijuana River Valley (Southern California), the project team will use the best available science to facilitate local dialogue addressing how climate change may impact the Kenai Peninsula. The project will engage regional leaders and community stakeholders to collaboratively develop plausible future planning scenarios based on a wide range of possible environmental responses to a changing climate. Ultimately this process and the resulting scenarios will help to inform area resource managers and land use planners as they lay the groundwork for future research, regulation, and development. Additionally, the project will document the process and lessons learned to further demonstrate the applicability of scenario planning across geographically distinct communities. This science transfer project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to promote the use of science. It did not produce any new data.

2003 Sediment Grab Data for Catlett and Goodwin Islands on the York River, Chesapeake Bay, Virginia (Ches_2003sedgrabs)

This data set represents the sediment grain size gathered from grab sampling in 2003 (24 stations).In Fall/Winter 2002, researchers from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) and the NOAA Office for Coastal Management conducted a project to map benthic habitats by Catlett and Goodwin Islands on the York River, Chesapeake Bay, Virginia.  Sediment grab samples were collected at 56 stations and sediment profile images were collected at 200 stations.  Sampling areas were also surveyed using side scan sonar and multibeam bathymetry sensors.  Scientists from the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences returned to sample a subset of the 2002 sediment grab data in 2003 and then again in 2004.  A subset of SPI stations (79) were revisited in 2004.

Ecological Marine Units: Nutrients

A compilation of ocean nutrient (nitrate, phosphate, and silicate concentrations) data at Â¼ degree spatial resolution for the entire United States Exclusive Economic Zone. The dataset is derived from the ESRI Ecological Marine Unit (EMU) dataset, which was assembled from non-supervised statistical clustering of over 52 million points from NOAAâs World Ocean Atlas (2013) WoA database, an authoritative 57 year archive of global water column data. This derived dataset is divided into three separate point shapefiles, each representing either nitrate, phosphate, or silicate concentrations (all in units of Î¼mol l-1). Values for nutrient concentrations represent a climatological average. Each shapefile is formatted such that a single point location (i.e., unique associated latitude and longitude) contains a unique column entry for a given depth interval. Depth intervals are variable from 5 m near the surface to 100 m in the deeper regions (> 2000 m) for a total of 102 depth levels. All disclaimers provided by the original dataset authors apply to this derived dataset. For detail on these disclaimers, please refer to the following reference: Sayre, R., J. Dangermond, D.

2021 Tawas Lake, MI Natural Color, Color Infrared and Hyperspectral Imagery

Wild rice (Zizania palustris and Zizania aquatica), also known as manoomin, plays an integral role in the wetland ecosystems of the Great Lakes and is central to the culture, identity, and livelihood of Indigenous Peoples throughout the region. As manoomin faces increasing threats from climate change, land use change, pollution, invasive species, and other stressors, efforts are underway to protect and restore wild rice populations and habitat.

To support these efforts and help improve mapping and monitoring of wild rice in the Lake Michigan and Lake Huron basins, NOAA's Office for Coastal Management, in collaboration with tribal partners, identified twelve areas of interest (AOI) as pilot sites for airborne hyperspectral imagery and field data collection, which took place in August and September 2021.

In total, airborne hyperspectral imagery (with derived natural color and color infrared) was acquired for 43,493 acres. This imagery, in conjunction with field data and place-based knowledge and expertise of tribal partners, was used to help delineate ~13,775 acres of vegetated wetlands, including ~790 acres of wild rice.

1998 Winter East Coast NOAA/USGS/NASA  Airborne LiDAR Assessment of Coastal Erosion (ALACE) Project for the US Coastline

This data set includes data collected in February 1998 and partially covers coastline of the Delmarva peninsula in
the states of Virgina, Maryland, and Delaware.
Laser beach mapping uses a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground
elevation and coastal topography. The laser emits laser beams at high frequency and is directed downward at the
earth's surface through a port opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the
time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the
aircraft. The aircraft travels over the beach at approximately 60 meters per second while surveying from
the low water line to the landward base of the sand dunes.

2004 Florida Greenway ADS40 Orthoimagery and Digital Elevation Model

EarthData International collected ADS-40/ISTAR-derived orthophotos at a 50 centimeter pixel resolution to produce natural color and color infrared ortho photo tiles. The period of aerial collection was 14 DEC 2004 to 15 DEC 2004 with a reflight of several lines conducted on 1 FEB 2006.  During the time of image acquisition two dual frequency GPS receivers were utilized. One receiver was operated on board the aircraft with the dual frequency antenna located directly over the camera.  The second receiver was used as a base station.These receivers were in constant operation during the imagery mission and GPS phase data was collected at an epoch rate of 1 second. The airborne GPS data and IMU were used in combination with ground surveyed points to control the imagery. The imagery fully encompasses the project boundary. The DTM deliverable for this project was manually compiled using stereo pairs generated from the orthophoto flight. The DEM masspoint grid used to rectify the orthophotography was derived from the compiled DTM. All data produced for this project was referenced horizontally to NAD83, and vertically to Mean Sea Level(MSL), NAVD 88 in UTM meters.
