Metamorphic map of Massachusetts - A digital representation of the metamorphic map from the State bedrock geologic map of Zen and others, 1983 Metamorphic map of Massachusetts - A digital representation of the metamorphic map from the State bedrock geologic map of Zen and others, 1983
This data release provides a vector digital dataset developed from the published metamorphic map of Massachusetts. This data release is a digital representation of the metamorphic map shown on sheet 2 of the bedrock geologic map of Zen and others (1983). The original publication from 1983 was available in paper only. A scanned raster version of the 1983 map was obtained from the National...
Lidar-Derived Hydrography of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, Maine, 2023 Lidar-Derived Hydrography of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, Maine, 2023
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), has compiled a Geographic Information System (GIS) dataset. The spatial data layer provided in this data release is derived from high-resolution lidar digital elevation models (DEM’s) for the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Penobscot County, Maine. The data provided in this release
Temperature data collected using Onset HOBO U-22 loggers deployed at intertidal sites on five Boston Harbor Islands, 2023 Temperature data collected using Onset HOBO U-22 loggers deployed at intertidal sites on five Boston Harbor Islands, 2023
This dataset contains air and water temperature data recorded at multiple shoreline sites on five islands within Boston Harbor, MA USA over the period April - August, 2023. This data was collected using Onset HOBO U-22 temperature loggers that were deployed across 5 islands: Gallops, Georges, Lovell, Peddocks, and Thompson Island. The dataset contains the island name, site designation...
Rio Grande chub and sucker habitat suitability in the United States and Mexico, 2012-2099 Rio Grande chub and sucker habitat suitability in the United States and Mexico, 2012-2099
Scripts and data that make up the habitat suitability analysis used in the Rio Grande Chub and Sucker Species Status Assessment (SSA). The scripts fall into two categories (as reflected in the src subdirectories): 1. Data processing to create Maxent inputs 2. Analysis and visualization of Maxent outputs Datasets include: 1. Data used to create habitat suitability predictors, in the...
Rare Earth Element (REE), Critical Mineral, and Geochemical Characterization of Manganese Oxide Ore Deposits in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia Rare Earth Element (REE), Critical Mineral, and Geochemical Characterization of Manganese Oxide Ore Deposits in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia
Manganese is a designated critical mineral, being industrially utilized for producing steel and batteries, including in the production of electric vehicles (Rozelle et al., 2021). The eastern United States hosts hundreds of manganese oxide mines that served steel production until their abandonment in the mid-twentieth century (Pegau, 1958). Many relict mines still feature accessible pits...
Daily ice cover fractions for 107,257 lakes in the Northern Hemisphere Daily ice cover fractions for 107,257 lakes in the Northern Hemisphere
This dataset provides estimated daily ice cover fractions for 107,257 lakes across the Northern Hemisphere from 1980 to 2022. The ice cover fractions were generated using a deep learning model trained on Landsat observations. The model's code is publicly available in the USGS GitLab repository: https://doi.org/10.5066/P13ZGUGE. The dataset consists of 42 CSV files, each corresponding to...
