Data associated with the national assessment of potential average annualized losses from tsunamis in the United States Data associated with the national assessment of potential average annualized losses from tsunamis in the United States
Data tables and data references supporting the journal article titled: "Estimated average annualized losses from potential building damage and fatalities due to earthquake-generated tsunamis in the United States." Earthquake-generated tsunamis represent substantial economic threats to states and territories in the United States (U.S.), but we are unaware of any effort to quantify...
Data associated with characterizing earthquake-hazard exposure of populations with access and functional needs in the United States Data associated with characterizing earthquake-hazard exposure of populations with access and functional needs in the United States
Data that support the journal article titled “Earthquake-hazard exposure of populations with potential access and functional needs in the United States” as described here: Earthquake response plans and earthquake early warning (EEW) systems designed for general populations may not consider potential access and functional needs (AFN) of individuals with physical, sensory, cognitive, or...
Data for: UAS and high-resolution satellite imagery improve the accuracy of cheatgrass detection across an invaded Yellowstone landscape Data for: UAS and high-resolution satellite imagery improve the accuracy of cheatgrass detection across an invaded Yellowstone landscape
We mapped cheatgrass at different scales in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem using 10-m Sentinel-2 imagery, 3-m PlanetScope, and 10-cm Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) imagery. We compared these maps to field-collected data to address 1) variation in seasonal phenological signals of native and cheatgrass patches, 2) the influence of scale on detectability and map accuracy across our...
High-resolution digital surface model (DSM) and true-color image orthomosaic collected by Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) within the Los Planes Watershed, Baja California Sur, Mexico, 2024 High-resolution digital surface model (DSM) and true-color image orthomosaic collected by Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) within the Los Planes Watershed, Baja California Sur, Mexico, 2024
These data are structure from motion products from UAS providing high topographical and true-color imagery detail over a subregion within the Los Planes Watershed in La Paz, Mexico. This is part of an ongoing research partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (Aridland Water Harvesting Study), U.S. Water Partnership (USWP), and Innovaciones Alumbra to monitor eco-hydrological feedbacks...
Data associated with characterizing the exposure of the U.S. road network to areas susceptible to landslides, 2023 Data associated with characterizing the exposure of the U.S. road network to areas susceptible to landslides, 2023
Data supporting the journal article titled “Variations in road exposure and traffic volumes in the United States in areas susceptible to landslides.” There have been many efforts in the United States (U.S.) to identify landslide threats for specific roads, but no efforts to examine the entire national road system. We use geospatial tools to estimate the length and percentage of total...
Land carbon sink in the conterminous US from 1985 to 2020 Land carbon sink in the conterminous US from 1985 to 2020
This carbon dataset is generated from the parallel Integrated Biosphere Simulator (pIBIS). Annual carbon variables cover 1985-2020 at 1-km (990m) spatial resolution. All the variables are in NetCDF format. Each variable has 36 layers, 2960 rows, 4677 columns, and in WGS_1984_Albers projection. A single layer mask file TIF is provided. Carbon stock and flux units are in kgC/m2 and kgC/m2...
ANN-classified crop type map for the year 2022 in California's Central Valley ANN-classified crop type map for the year 2022 in California's Central Valley
Classified map of crop types in California's Central Valley generated using artificial neural network multilayer perceptron models and Harmonized Landsat-8 Sentinel-2 Landsat 30m (HLSL30) data. The model was trained on data from the year 2021 and validated on the independent year 2022.
Historical and projected future land change and ecosystem carbon stocks for California Historical and projected future land change and ecosystem carbon stocks for California
Note: this data release has been superseded by version 2.0, available here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P14EHY3V. This dataset consists of annual raster maps of ecosystem carbon stocks, land use and land cover classes, and transition probabilities for the State of California during historical (1985-2020) and projected future (2021-2100) time periods. Data are simulation model output from the...
Dryland Soil Carbon in Southeast Arizona Dryland Soil Carbon in Southeast Arizona
Increasing soil carbon sequestration is part of a suite of approaches to reducing atmospheric carbon and addressing climate change. The soil carbon sequestration capability of a landscape is a function of ecological, edaphic, climatic, and anthropogenic factors. Landscape degradation is associated with a loss of soil carbon, but ecological restoration, alternative agricultural techniques...
Estimates of population exposure and evacuation potential for earthquake-related tsunami hazard zones in the United States Estimates of population exposure and evacuation potential for earthquake-related tsunami hazard zones in the United States
These datasets support the conclusions in the journal article entitled "National population exposure and evacuation potential in the United States to earthquake-generated tsunami threats " as described in the abstract below: Previous efforts to characterize tsunami threats to people have focused primarily on individual scenarios in specific areas but have not recognized multiple...
Pedestrian evacuation time maps for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands tsunami-hazard zones Pedestrian evacuation time maps for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands tsunami-hazard zones
The communities of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are threatened by tsunamis. Experts conducted earthquake and tsunami modeling to estimate the extent of tsunami inundation resulting from a Mariana Subduction Zone (MSZ) earthquake. The USGS Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst Tool (PEAT) was run to estimate pedestrian evacuation travel times out of the MSZ tsunami-hazard zone...
Pedestrian evacuation time maps for Alaska tsunami-hazard zones Pedestrian evacuation time maps for Alaska tsunami-hazard zones
Many coastal communities in Alaska are threatened by tsunamis that could be generated by earthquakes associated with the Aleutian-Alaskan subduction zone (AASZ). Potential tsunami inundation from various AASZ earthquake scenarios has been modeled by others and related tsunami-hazard zones have been published (see supplemental information). We used the USGS Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst...
