Modeled change in the average Feddema Moisture Index (multiplied by 1000) between modeled 2041-2070 (CanESM2 r5i1p1) and the 1971-2000 Normal period.

Originators: US Environmental Protection Agency Publisher: US EPA Office of Research & Development (ORD) - National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL) Publication place: Corvallis, OR Publication date: Time Period of Data: 1900-2010; Projected data for 2041-2070. Data location: GeoPlatform ("https://www.geoplatform.gov/") and EPA Environmental Dataset Gateway (https://edg.epa.gov/). Abstract: We apply the hydrologic landscapes (HL) concept to assess the hydrologic vulnerability of the western United States (U.S.) to projected climate conditions. Our goal is to understand the potential impacts for stakeholder-defined interests across large geographic areas. The basic assumption of the HL approach is that catchments that share similar physical and climatic characteristics are expected to have similar hydrologic characteristics. We map climate vulnerability by integrating the HL approach into a retrospective analysis of historical data to assess variability in future climate projections and hydrology, which includes temperature, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, snow accumulation, climatic moisture, surplus water, and seasonality of water surplus. Projections that are not within two-standard deviations of the historical decadal average contribute to the vulnerability index for each metric. The resulting vulnerability maps show that temperature and potential evapotranspiration are consistently projected to have high vulnerability indices for the western U.S. Precipitation vulnerability is not as spatially-uniform as temperature. The highest elevation areas with snow are projected to experience significant changes in snow accumulation. The seasonality vulnerability map shows that specific mountainous areas in the West are most prone to changes in seasonality, whereas many transitional terrains are moderately susceptible. This paper illustrates how the HL approach can help assess climatic and hydrologic vulnerability across large spatial scales. By combining the HL concept and climate vulnerability analyses, we provide a planning approach that could allow resource managers to consider how future climate conditions may impact important economic and conservation resources. Purpose: These data were created in support of the US EPA’s ACE CIVA 2.3, Task Project (QAPP: E-WED-0030854). However, these climate data and hydrologic landscape summaries should have broad applicability for hydrological, geomorphic, or ecological modeling, management, and restoration.  This raster contains the modeled change in the average Feddema Moisture Index over 2041-2070 (CanESM2 r5i1p1) and the 1971-2000 Normal period.

EPA Recovery Mapper

The EPA Recovery Mapper is an Internet interactive mapping application that allows users to discover information about every American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) award that EPA has funded for six programs. By integrating data reported by the recipients of Recovery Act funding and data created by EPA, this application delivers a level of transparency and public accessibility to users interested in EPA's use of Recovery Act monies. The application is relatively easy to use and builds on the same mapping model as Google, Bing, MapQuest and other commonly used mapping interfaces. EPA Recovery Mapper tracks each award made by each program and gives basic Quick Facts information for each award including award name, location, award date, dollar amounts and more. Data Summaries for each EPA program or for each state are provided displaying dollars for Total Awarded, Total Received (Paid), and Total Jobs This Quarter by Recovery for the latest quarter of data released by Recovery.gov. The data are reported to the government and EPA four times a year by the award recipients. The latest quarterly report will always be displayed in the EPA Recovery Mapper. In addition, the application provides many details about each award. Users will learn more about how to access and interpret these data later in this document. Data shown in the EPA Recovery Mapper are derived from information reported back to FederalReporting.gov from the recipients of Recovery Act funding. EPA reviews the recipient reported data and works with the recipients to correct the data when errors are found. Please note that the dollar amounts displayed at Recovery.gov may differ somewhat from the amounts in this application because EPA Recovery Mapper includes awards that EPA has funded for Superfund sites cleanups that were awarded by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Also, EPA Recovery Mapper also does not display awards for management and oversight and awards made to EPA's Inspector General which account for less than 1.4% of the Recovery Act funding that EPA has received.

Geographically Isolated Wetlands (Non-Floodplain Wetlands) of the Conterminous United States

This data set represents the extent and approximate location of GIWs, also known as non-floodplain wetlands (NFWs), in the conterminous United States.  NWI lacustrine systems and palustrine wetlands were determined to be “isolated” based on their geographic location (i.e., unconnected, based on a distance measure, to specific classes of NHD aquatic systems).  GIWs were here considered geographically isolated when they were outside of 10 meters from select NHD lines and polygons or were not adjacent to NWI Riverine or Estuarine wetlands and (where applicable) outside of 10 meters from a coastline (e.g., oceans or Great Lakes).

Total Marsh at Dividing, NJ, Lower Delaware Bay, Intermediate Sea Level Rise Scenario, “Protect Developed Dry Land” model protection scenario, EPA ORD NCEA

This raster GIS dataset contains 5-meter-resolution cells depicting the areas of total marsh gain (value=1), lost (value=-1) and remaining (no change; value=0). Total marsh (TM) was defined as the sum of low marsh and high marsh [SLAMM category 8 + SLAMM category 7 + SLAMM category 20]. Based on SLAMM simulation outputs, we generated the gain and loss map by using the “Raster Calculator” tool under “Spatial Analyst Tools” in ArcGIS software. The methodology consists of the three steps listed below (where we use low marsh [LM] as an example). The same process can be applied to other SLAMM land cover categories. 

1) Open ArcMap, add SLAMM simulation raster outputs (all SLAMM categories) for baseline year and future years. 

2) In Raster Calculator, set the SLAMM codeequal to8 (low marsh = SLAMM category 8) to generate a new raster. Each individual cell in the new raster is assigned a value of “0” or “1”. “1” is low marsh and “0” is any other SLAMM land cover category. Perform this step for both the baseline year and future year. 

3) In Raster Calculator, subtract the new raster for the baseline year from the new raster for the future year (formula = new future year raster - new baseline year raster). The calculation generates a new raster, in which each individual cell is assigned a value of “-1”, “0”, or “1”. Based on the calculation, “-1” means low marsh loss in the future (the cell has converted from low marsh to a different SLAMM category), “0” means low marsh is remaining (the cell stays the same), and “1” means low marsh gain in the future (the cell has converted from a different SLAMM category to low marsh). 

Prior SLAMM work has been performed in the Delaware Bay, but our methods differ in that we derive results for specific marsh areas and utilize more recent, higher resolution elevation data (2015 USGS CoNED Topobathy Model: New Jersey and Delaware), the most recent SLR projections, and site-specific accretion data (through 2016). These SLAMM simulations were performed as part of a larger project by the USEPA on frameworks and methods for characterizing relative wetland vulnerabilities. 

Note: additional raster files from this project are available upon request. These include files from low and high SLR scenarios and different model protection scenarios. For more information, contact Jordan West (West.Jordan@epa.gov).
