LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Disturbance (FDist) Palau

LANDFIRE (LF) disturbance products are developed to provide temporal and spatial information related to landscape change. LANDFIRE 2016 Remap (LF Remap) Fuel Disturbance (FDist) uses the latest 10 years of Annual Disturbance products from the effective disturbance year. FDist is a refinement of past LF versions and is created from Remap historical Disturbance (HDist) by grouping similar disturbances types, which represent disturbance scenarios within the fuels environment.
LF Remap contains refinements to the FDist process enabling the creation of pre-disturbance fuel vegetation within disturbed areas. the new approach facilitates the production of capable fuels products, such as FDist. The capable fuels process calculates Time Since Disturbance (TSD) assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year". Year 2020 fuels, for example, may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and assigns fuels to the pre-disturbance vegetation based on the adjusted TSD, making the products "2020 capable fuels." By synchronizing TSDs for surface and canopy fuels, these refinements improve performance of fire behavior modeling. LF Remap fuel products in areas mapped as disturbed within the past 10 years are delivered with the capable fuels functionality. More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

Digital Data Sets of Depth-Duration Frequency of Precipitation for Oklahoma, USGS OFR 99-463.

These geospatial data sets consist of precipitation
stations used in a regional precipitation frequency analysis
for Oklahoma.
Data were used from precipitation gage stations with at least 10
years of record within Oklahoma and about 50 kilometers into
bordering states. Three different rain gage networks provided
the data (15-minute, 1-hour, and 1-day). Data were analyzed for
seven frequencies (expressed as recurrence intervals of 2-, 5-,
10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-years) and 12 durations (15-, 30-, and
60-minutes; 1-, 2-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hours; and 1-, 3-, and
7-days). Precipitation annual maxima (depths) were determined
from the station data for each duration for 110 15-minute
stations (used for 15-, 30-, and 60-minute durations), 141
hourly stations (used for 1-, 2-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hour
durations), and 413 daily stations (used for 1-, 3-, and 7-day
durations).
Statistical methods were used to estimate precipitation depths
for each duration-frequency at each station. These station
depth-duration-frequency estimates were interpolated to produce
continuous grids with grid-cell spacing of 2,000 meters. Contour
lines derived from these surfaces (grids) were used to produce
the maps in the "Depth-Duration Frequency of Precipitation for
Oklahoma" by R.L. Tortorelli, Alan Rea, and W.H. Asquith, U.S.
Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4232.
Depth-duration-frequency estimates and interpolated surface
values are included in the point attribute tables. One
geospatial data set is provided for each of the 12 durations.

CENCAL1945_1976 - Vectorized Shoreline of Central California Derived from 1945-1976 Source Data

There are critical needs for a nationwide compilation of reliable shoreline data.  To meet these needs, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has produced a comprehensive database of digital vector shorelines by compiling shoreline positions from pre-existing historical shoreline databases and by generating historical and modern shoreline data.  Shorelines are compiled by state and generally correspond to one of four time periods: 1800s, 1920s-1930s, 1970s, and 1998-2002.  Each shoreline may represent a compilation of data from one or more sources for one or more dates provided by one or more agencies.  Details regarding source are provided in the 'Data Quality Information' section of this metadata report.  Shoreline vectors derived from historic sources (first three time periods) represent the high water line at the time of the survey, whereas modern shorelines (final time period) represent the mean high water line.

DS926 Digital surfaces and thicknesses of selected hydrogeologic units of the Floridan aquifer system in Florida and parts of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina -- Polygon regions of the upper confining unit of the Floridan aquifer system

Digital surfaces and thicknesses of selected hydrogeologic units of the Floridan aquifer system 
were developed to define an updated hydrogeologic framework as part of the U.S. Geological Survey 
Groundwater Resources Program. This feature class contains areas underlain by the upper confining 
unit. Geologic maps and thickness from test borings and wells were used to define its extent. Isolated 
areas of upper confining unit material may lie outside this boundary.

Combined Thickness of the Modeled Wanapum Basalt and Vantage-Latah Interbed Geomodel Units (wnthk_f)

The wnthk_f grid represents the modeled combined thickness of the Wanapum Basalt and the 
Vantage/Latah interbed geomodel units at a 500 foot resolution. It is one grid of a geomodel that 
consists of eleven grids and a spatial extent polygon shapefile.  As part of a U.S. Geological 
Survey Groundwater Resources Program study, a three-dimensional geomodel was constructed 
for approximately 53,000 mi2 of the Columbia Plateau in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. This 
geomodel was constructed to define the general aquifer system geometry for use in a regional 
numerical groundwater flow model. Simplifications and assumptions consistent with this ultimate 
goal and the uncertainty in the available data were made. The geomodel units consist of Miocene 
age Columbia River Basalt Group strata and younger alluvial overburden covering approximately 
44,000 mi2. Data were compiled from numerous databases and detailed studies completed during 
the past three decades. These data include stratigraphic interpretations made on more than 13,000 
wells and a contiguous compilation of surficial geology and structural features spanning the study 
area. These data were simplified and used to construct piecewise-smooth trend surfaces that 
represent upper and lower subsurface geomodel unit boundaries in this complex folded and faulted 
terrain.  The smoothness of the surfaces implicitly represents uncertainty in prediction of each surface 
resulting from data gaps, errors in borehole interpretations, errors in mapped contact locations, and 
uncertainty in the shape of the paleo-surface upon which flood basalts were emplaced. Using a 
rule-based algorithm, surfaces were then recombined to construct a fully three-dimensional model 
with a 500-foot grid resolution that is consistent with the data and for which error estimates may be 
made. The modeling process yielded improved estimates of unit volumes, refinement of location of 
large structural features, and identification of features that may be important for ongoing groundwater 
studies.

COW_Q02.TIF - U.S. Pacific West Coast EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (2 of 36) (TM, 50 m, NAD27)

In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation establishing an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States extending its territory 200 nautical miles from the coasts of the United States, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. territories and possessions. In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology began a program to map these areas of the EEZ. The U.S. Pacific Coast was the first EEZ region to be mapped and launched GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) mapping program. The area covered by this survey extended from the Mexican to the Canadian borders and from the continental shelf edge, at about the 400-meter bathymetric contour, to 200 nautical miles from the coast. Survey of the U.S. Pacific West Coast EEZ was completed in four consecutive cruises conducted from late April through mid-August 1984. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of 36 digital mosaics of an approximate 2 degree by 2 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Projected Seafloor Elevation Along the Florida Reef Tract From Deerfield Beach to Homestead, Florida—50 Years From 2014 Based on Historical Rates of Mean Elevation Change

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted research to quantify the combined effect of all constructive and destructive processes on modern coral reef ecosystems by projecting future regional-scale changes in seafloor elevation for several sites along the Florida Reef Tract, Florida (FL) including the shallow seafloor along the coast of Miami, FL. USGS staff used historical bathymetric point data from the 1930's (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Coast Survey, see Yates and others, 2017) and light detection and ranging (lidar)-derived data acquired in 2002 (Brock and others, 2006, 2007) to calculate historical seafloor elevation changes in the Upper Florida Keys (UFK) (Yates and others, 2017). Using those changes in seafloor elevation, annual rates of elevation change were calculated for 13 habitat types found in the UFK reef tract. The annual rate of mean elevation change for each habitat type was applied to a digital elevation model (DEM) extending from Deerfield Beach to Homestead, FL that was modified from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Miami coastal DEM (NOAA, 2015) to project future seafloor elevation (from 2014) along the Miami section of the Florida Reef Tract. Grid resolution for the DEM is 1/3 arc second (approximately 10 meters).

Color-shaded relief GeoTIFF image of interferometric sonar data collected by the USGS within Red Brook Harbor, MA, 2009 (RB_BathyShadedRelief_1m, 1-meter cell size)

These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters (5-30 m deep) of Massachusetts between the New Hampshire border and Cape Cod Bay. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/). This is the spatial dataset for the Red Brook Harbor survey area within Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.  These data are the results of a high-resolution geophysical (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection) and ground validation (sediment samples and bottom photographs) survey, conducted in 2009.
In addition to inclusion within the USGS-CZM geologic mapping effort, these Red Brook Harbor data will be used to assess the shallow-water mapping capability of the geophysical systems deployed for this project, with an emphasis on identifying resolution benchmarks for the interferometric sonar system.

MPEG Animation of the Southern Portion of the Pulley Ridge Study Area

Pulley Ridge is a series of drowned barrier islands that extends almost 200 km in 60-100 m water depths. This drowned ridge is located on the Florida Platform in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico about 250 km west of Cape Sable, Florida. This barrier island chain formed during the initial stage of the Holocene marine transgression. These islands were then submerged and left abandoned near the outer edge of the Florida Platform. The southern portion of Pulley Ridge hosts zooxanthellate scleractinian corals, green, red and brown macro algae, and a mix of deep and typically shallow-water tropical fishes. This reef community is in unusually deep water, and its extent and the controls on its distribution were unknown. To address these questions scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geology Program in cooperation with scientists from the University of South Florida Department of Marine Sciences have completed a detailed mapping of the southernmost 35 km of Pulley Ridge. The area was mapped using multibeam bathymetry, sidescan-sonar imagery, and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiling to define the geologic framework on which the reef is established. Submersible dives, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) transects, and transects of bottom photographs and video were collected to identify the corals and to map their distribution. This extensive suite of data has been compiled and preliminary analysis of the data suggests that the reefs are not tied to the ridge system, but instead are more broadly distributed. Whether reef distribution is controlled by oceanographic conditions or by subtle differences in the substrate that overlies the barrier island system is unclear, and are topics of continued research.

6-m resolution gray-scale image of multibeam backscatter intensity in western Massachusetts Bay map Quadrangle 2 (Q2_BACKGS.TIF)

The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor offshore of Massachusetts.  The mapping was carried out using a Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the Frederick G. Creed on four cruises conducted between 1994 and 1998.  The mapping was conducted in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick.
The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-resolution geologic maps and a Geographic Information System (GIS) project that presents images and grids of bathymetry, shaded relief bathymetry, and backscatter intensity data from these surveys that will serve the needs of research, management and the public.
