Central Valley Water and Land Use Futures
To support coordinated conservation in California, wetland restoration, and climate adaptation planning, we developed projections of the Central Valley's seasonally flooded cropland and wetland habitat for five scenarios that vary by water availability and management priorities.
California's Exposure to Volcanic Hazards
A geonarrative summary of the USGS report that provides a broad perspective on California’s exposure to volcanic hazards. By integrating volcanic hazard information with geospatial data on populations, infrastructure, and resources, the results provide estimates of impacts to people and our environment if an eruption were to occur.
Field Photo Map
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Land Cover Trends field photography collection is 33,000 ground-referenced photos at a national-scale. The photos initially served as a research tool to aid in Landsat-derived land-use/land-cover (LULC) change analyses and assessments between 1999 and 2009.
GFSAD30 Products and Webmaps
The above map is an example of the 30 meter Cropland Extent products that are available for inspection on Croplands.org. Users can explore additional data sets such as 250 meter data and 1 kilometer data. Likewise, users have the ability to zoom in to examine individual pixels.
