Rapid assessment of U.S. forest and soil organic carbon storage and forest biomass carbon sequestration capacity Rapid assessment of U.S. forest and soil organic carbon storage and forest biomass carbon sequestration capacity
This report provides results of a rapid assessment of biological carbon stocks and forest biomass carbon sequestration capacity in the conterminous United States. Maps available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture are used to calculate estimates of current organic carbon storage in soils (73 petagrams of carbon, or PgC) and forest biomass (17 PgC). Of these totals, 3.5 PgC of soil...

Coastal sensitivity to sea level rise— A focus on the Mid-Atlantic Region Coastal sensitivity to sea level rise— A focus on the Mid-Atlantic Region
This Synthesis and Assessment Product (SAP), developed as part of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, examines potential effects of sea-level rise from climate change during the twenty-first century, with a focus on the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. Using scientific literature and policy-related documents, the SAP describes the physical environments; potential changes to...

Mapping irrigated lands across the United States using MODIS satellite imagery Mapping irrigated lands across the United States using MODIS satellite imagery
This book opens a new pathway for global mapping that is focused on a specific land use theme, such as irrigated or rain-fed croplands and classes within these themes. Since croplands use most of the water consumed by humans, specific knowledge of irrigated and rain-fed croplands will be critical for precise estimates of water use. At present and in the coming decades, irrigated and rain...

Greater Platte River Basins - Science to sustain ecosystems and communities Greater Platte River Basins - Science to sustain ecosystems and communities
The Greater Platte River Basins (GPRB), located in the heartland of the United States, provides a collaborative opportunity for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and its partners to understand the sustainability of natural and managed ecosystems under changing climate and resource requirements.The Greater Platte River Basins, an area of about 140,000 square miles, sustains thousands of...

Mapping and Visualization of Storm-Surge Dynamics for Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita Mapping and Visualization of Storm-Surge Dynamics for Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita
The damages caused by the storm surges from Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita were significant and occurred over broad areas. Storm-surge maps are among the most useful geospatial datasets for hurricane recovery, impact assessments, and mitigation planning for future storms. Surveyed high-water marks were used to generate a maximum storm-surge surface for Hurricane Katrina extending...

Sample project: establishing a global forest monitoring capability using multi-resolution and multi-temporal remotely sensed data sets Sample project: establishing a global forest monitoring capability using multi-resolution and multi-temporal remotely sensed data sets
Quantifying rates of forest-cover change is important for improved carbon accounting and climate change modeling, management of forestry and agricultural resources, and biodiversity monitoring. A practical solution to examining trends in forest cover change at global scale is to employ remotely sensed data. Satellite-based monitoring of forest cover can be implemented consistently across...
