Great Smoky Mountains National Park Geology

The Digital Geologic Units of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Vicinity, Tennessee and North Carolina consists of geologic units mapped as area (polygon) features. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Evaluation (GRE) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD). The data were captured, grouped and attributed as per the NPS GRE Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 1.3.1. (available at: https://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm). The data layer is available as a feature class in a 9.1 personal geodatabase (grsm_geology.mdb). Attributed geologic contact lines that define the geologic unit polygons are present within the Geologic Contacts (GRSMGLGA) data layer. The Geologic Units (GRSMGLG) GIS data layer is also available as a coverage export (.E00) file (GRSMGLG.E00), and as a shapefile (.SHP) file (GRSMGLG.SHP). Each GIS data format has an ArcGIS 9.1 layer (.LYR) file (GRSMGLG_GDB.LYR (geodatabase feature class), GRSMGLG_COV.LYR (coverage), GRSMGLG_SHP.LYR (shapefile) with map symbology that is included with the GIS data. See the Distribution Information section for additional information on data acquisition. The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone 17N. That data is within the area of interest of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This dataset is just one component of the Digital Geologic Map of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Vicinity, Tennessee and North Carolina. The data layers (feature classes) that comprise the Digital Geologic Map of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Vicinity, Tennessee and North Carolina include: GRSMAML (Alteration and Metamorphic Lines), GRSMATD (Geologic Attitude and Observation Points), GRSMFLD (Folds), GRSMFLT (Faults), GRSMGLG (Geologic Units), GRSMGLGA (Geologic Contacts), GRSMGPT (Point Geologic Features), GRSMGSL (Geologic Sample Localities), GRSMMIN (Mine Point Features), GRSMSEC (Cross Section Lines), GRSMSUR (Surficial Geologic Units), GRSMSURA (Surficial Contacts) and GRSMSYM (Fault Symbology). There are three additional ancillary map components, the Geologic Unit Information (GRSMGLG1) Table, the Source Map Information (GRSMMAP) Table and the Map Help File (GRSM_GEOLOGY.HLP). Refer to the NPS GRE Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 1.3.1 (available at: https://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm) for detailed data layer (feature class) and table specifications including attribute field parameters, definitions and domains, and implemented topology rules and relationship classes.

Cascades Frog and eDNA Inventory at Lassen Volcanic National Park - Open Format Dataset

The Cascades frog (Rana cascadae) is one of two frog species known to occur historically in Lassen Volcanic National Park (LAVO) in Northern California. However, no Cascades frogs have been documented in LAVO for several decades, despite repeated surveys. Threats to the species include natural predators, introduction of fish into historically fishless habitats, diseases like fungal pathogens, airborne drift of pesticides from nearby agricultural areas, ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation, wildfires, and habitat loss from human development and climate change. Objectives of this project were to conduct surveys for Cascades frogs at LAVO using both visual encounter surveys (VES) and environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys at locations with potential for reintroduction, conduct VES and eDNA surveys for potential predators (rainbow trout, brook trout, brown trout, and leeches) to determine locations unsuitable for reintroduction, and to develop a suitability model to assess reintroduction potential within LAVO for Cascades frogs. Fifty locations around LAVO were sampled during this study. Suitability for Cascades frogs was ranked according to suitable vegetation availability, elevation, climatic factors, and perennial water availability. Projected climate data was used to derive future climate suitability for Cascades frogs within and around LAVO. No Cascades frog egg masses, larvae, or adults were detected during VES or eDNA sampling within LAVO in 2021. Pacific tree frogs were observed at 18 sites, indicating suitable larval frog habitat at these sites. At 12 of these 18 sites, trout were not detected with either VES or eDNA sampling and leeches were only detected in two locations. The eDNA survey did not appear to be an effective way to detect leeches, but this method was effective for trout species and Cascades frogs.

Glacier Bay oceanography raw data hex files (OC_B)

"HEX" files are the raw output of the Sea-Bird oceanographic CTD profilers. They contain frequencies and voltages output by sensors in a proprietary format set by Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc. These files are not readable by common applications. To work with these data, one typically first processes them using specialized software from Sea-Bird Electronics that converts the raw counts into engineering units, such as degrees C. This processing requires the availability of "CON" calibration files that fully define the sensors on the particular CTD unit, and results in the OC_C deliverable available elsewhere on this site. 

Each file is headed with metadata text. Following this are strings representing hexadecimal values of raw instrument readings; each line containing all sensors in the instrument array. Under the latest protocol OC-2014.1 there are approximately two lines recorded per second.
