Imagery acquired with airborne sensors contain camera and terrain related distortions which make the images unsuitable for geospatial analysis as positions within the image may be significantly inaccurate. A digital orthophoto is a georeferenced image prepared from aerial imagery, or other remotely-sensed data in which the displacement within the image due to sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed. Orthophotos combine the image characteristics of an image with the geometric qualities of a map. Orthoimages show ground features such as roads, buildings, and streams in their proper positions, without the distortion characteristic of unrectified aerial imagery. Digital Orthoimages formatted in quarter quarter quadrangle extents are known as Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quarter Quadrangles, or DOQQQs. Digital Orthoimages produced and used within the Forest Service are developed from imagery acquired through various national and regional image acquisition programs. The resulting orthoimages, also known as orthomaps, can be directly applied in remote sensing, GIS and mapping applications. They serve a variety of purposes, from interim maps to field Standards for Digital Orthophotos references for earth science investigations and analysis. Because of the orthographic property, an orthoimage can be used like a map for measurement of distances, angles, and areas with scale being constant everywhere. Also they can be used as map layers in GIS or other computer based manipulation, overlaying, and analysis. An orthoimage differs from a map in a manner of depiction of detail; on the map only selected detail is shown by conventional symbols, whereas on an orthoimage all details appear just as in original satellite imagery.

Kenai Vegetation Map – Existing Vegetation 2017

This feature class contains attribute information from four mid-level existing vegetation maps (1:100,000) prepared for the Chugach National Forest, Kenai Wildlife Refuge, and Alaska Fish and Game to provide up-to-date and more complete information about vegetative communities, structure, and patterns across the Forest. Over 5.7 million acres (including other federal, state, native, and private land inholdings) were mapped through a partnership between the Geospatial Technology and Applications Center (GTAC), Chugach National Forest, Alaska Regional Office, State of Alaska, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Kenai Burough, and National Park Service. The Chugach National Forest and their partners prepared the regional classification system, identified the desired map units (map classes) and provided general project management. GTAC provided project support and expertise in vegetation mapping. A combination of ground and helicopter reference data was used to inform the classification models that output the final maps. Federal and State field personnel collected plot data on the ground, while Ducks Unlimited and GTAC personnel collected the helicopter data. Classification models were used to characterize modeling units (mapping polygons) with the following vegetation attributes: 1) dominance type; 2) tree canopy cover; 3) tree size; and 4) tall shrub canopy cover. The minimum map feature depicted on the map is 0.25 acres. All map products were designed according to the Forest Service mid-level vegetation mapping standards in order to be stored in the Forest GIS and National databases. This map product was generated using imagery primarily acquired in 2016 and 2017. The field data used as reference information for this mapping project was collected in the summer of 2017. Therefore, the final map can be considered indicative of the existing vegetation conditions found on the Kenai Peninsula in 2017.
ADFG_Caribou_Seasonality_and_Movement

Analysis condicted by ABR Inc.–Environmental Research & Services. Data from ADFG/BLM/NSB and ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. For Brownian Bridge Movement Models - Conducted dynamic Brownian Bridge Movement Models (dBBMM) to delineate movmeents on seasonal herd ranges. dBBMM models were run using the move package for r using the following methods.1. Locations within 30 days of first collaring were removed from the analysis. 2. Selected females from PTT and GPS collars during the date range July 1 2012–June 30 2017 and individuals having more than 30 locations per season.3. ran a dBBMMM model for each individual during each season using 1 km pixels. 4. Calculate the 95% isopleth for each individual.5. Overlap all 95% isopleths and calculate the proportion of animals using (as defined by 95% isopleth) each pixel. Value shown is proportion times 1000. Seasons used: Winter (Dec 1-Apr 15); Spring (Apr 16-May 31); Calving (June 1-15); postcalving (June 16-30); Mosquito (July 1-15); Oestrid Fly (July 16-Aug 7); late summer (August 8-Sept 15); Fall Migration (Sept 16-Nov 30). For Kernel Density Estimates - Conducted Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to delineate seasonal herd ranges. Kernels were run using the ks package for r and the plugin bandwidth estimator. 1. Locations within 30 days of first collaring were removed from the analysis. 2. The mean latitiude and longitude for each animal was calculated for each day.3. A KDE utilization distribution was calculated for Julian day of the season (all years combined). 4. The daily KDE uds were averaged across the season. This method accounts for individual's movements during the seasons without the overfitting that results from using autocorrelated lcoations from individuals.Seasons used: Winter (Dec 1-Apr 15); Spring (Apr 16-May 31); Calving (June 1-15); postcalving (June 16-30); Mosquito (July 1-15); Oestrid Fly (July 16-Aug 7); late summer (August 8-Sept 15); Fall Migration (Sept 16-Nov 30).

Groundfish_Statistical_Areas_2001

This metadata report applies to the 2001 ADF&G Groundfish Statistical Areas. Statistical areas are polygons that divide the waters of the State of Alaska and the adjacent Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) into small units for the purpose of reporting and analyzing fishery harvest. Each statistical area is identified by a unique 6-digit number. Groundfish statistical areas are based on a grid that measures one-half degree latitude by one degree of longitude and can be divided by lines defined in ADF&G regulations, and further subdivided based on prominent landmarks or points of land. All lines are referenced to the NAD83 datum. This revised version of the groundfish statistical areas became effective January 1, 2001. Many statistical areas were changed or subdivided to better match state and federal fishery areas. In these cases, the previous statistical area codes were retired and the revised statistical areas were assigned new numbers. If you need to compare to retired statistical areas, you will need to refer to previous versions of the groundfish statistical areas.
