Average Rate of Heat-Related Hospitalizations in 23 States, 2001-2010

This map shows the 2001–2010 average rate of hospitalizations classified as “heat-related” by medical professionals in 23 states that participate in CDC’s hospitalization tracking program. Rates are based on hospital discharge records for May 1 to September 30 of every year. Rates have been age-adjusted to account for differences in the population distribution over time and between states—for example, if one state has a higher proportion of older adults than another.

Total Marsh at St. Jones, DE, 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).

Modeled change in the Seasonality between 1901-1930 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 seasonality of the month of maximum surplus precipitation between the target time period (in title) and the 1971-2000 Normal period (1 = same season, 0 = earlier season, 2 = later season).

Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyzer (TAGA) Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Data for BP Spill/Deepwater Horizon - May 2010

The Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyzer (TAGA) buses are self-contained mobile laboratories that conduct instant-result monitoring of air quality at particular locations. In response to the BP Spill in 2010, equipment in the TAGA buses monitored for air toxics known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The specific VOCs being monitored were benzene, toluene, and xylene. These substances are also associated with facilities such as gas stations, oil refineries, paper mills, and autobody shops. The TAGA monitoring found that these substances are not present or are being detected at low levels in the areas monitored along the Gulf Coast and in New Orleans, LA. The levels found were well below levels that would cause temporary discomfort, irritation, or other minor effects.

2022–2023 Nationwide Blood Donor Seroprevalence Survey Combined Infection- and Vaccination-Induced Seroprevalence Estimates

CDC is collaborating with Vitalant Research Institute, American Red Cross, and Westat Inc. to conduct a nationwide COVID-19 seroprevalence survey of blood donors. De-identified blood samples are tested for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 to better understand the percentage of people in the United States who have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and to track how this percentage changes over time. Both SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccines currently used in the United States result in production of anti-spike (anti-S) antibodies but only infection results in production of anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) antibodies.
Infection-induced seroprevalence estimates the proportion of the population with antibody evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and refers to the percent of the population with anti-nucleocapsid antibodies.
Combined infection-Induced and Vaccination-Induced seroprevalence estimates the proportion of the population with antibody evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 vaccination, or both, and refers to the percent of the population that has anti-spike antibodies, anti-nucleocapsid antibodies, or both.

EnviroAtlas - Potential Evapotranspiration 1950 - 2099 for the Conterminous United States

The EnviroAtlas Climate Scenarios were generated from NASA Earth Exchange (NEX) Downscaled Climate Projections (NEX-DCP30) ensemble averages (the average of over 30 available climate models) for each of the four representative concentration pathways (RCP) for the contiguous U.S. at 30 arc-second (approx. 800 m2) spatial resolution. In addition to the three climate variables provided by the NEX-DCP30 dataset (minimum monthly temperature, maximum monthly temperature, and precipitation) a corresponding estimate of potential evapotranspiration (PET) was developed to match the spatial and temporal scales of the input dataset. PET represents the cumulative amount of water returned to the atmosphere due to evaporation from Earth’s surface and plant transpiration under ideal circumstances (i.e., a vegetated surface shading the ground and unlimited water supply). PET was calculated using the Hamon PET equation (Hamon, 1961) and CBM model for daylength (Forsythe et al. 1995) for the 4 RCPs (2.6, 4.5, 6.0, 8.5) and organized by season (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall) and annually for the years 2006 – 2099. Additionally, PET was calculated for the ensemble average of all historic runs and organized similarly for the years 1950 – 2005. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas.
