Urban and developed areas indicated by classification of Landsat 2018 multispectral imagery Urban and developed areas indicated by classification of Landsat 2018 multispectral imagery
Polygons indicate the extent of urban (gridcode 5) and developed (gridcode 6) land cover in the greater Kabul area. Polygons were created from classification of Landsat 8 Operational Land Imagery (OLI) 30m resolution multispectral satellite imagery acquired on June 13, 2018.
Radiocarbon measurements, census counts of benthic foraminifera, diatoms, and palynomorphs, and geochemistry from core 721-1 obtained in 2002 off San Francisquito Creek in South San Francisco Bay Radiocarbon measurements, census counts of benthic foraminifera, diatoms, and palynomorphs, and geochemistry from core 721-1 obtained in 2002 off San Francisquito Creek in South San Francisco Bay
The urbanized area of downtown Menlo Park is subject to persistent flooding and sediment deposition by San Francisquito Creek in South San Francisco Bay. To mitigate these events, a suite of cores was collected in 2002 at the mouth of the creek to determine sediment depositional rates on the delta. One of those cores (721-1) was selected for microbiological (pollen, diatoms, and...
Geospatial datasets associated with Topographic Change Analysis in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Geospatial datasets associated with Topographic Change Analysis in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
These datasets were created as part of a project to map landslides and other mass movements throughout Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The project aims to address the potential hazards and geomorphic consequences of historic high water levels in Lake Michigan, due to active wave erosion affecting beaches, slopes, and dunes; and coastal inundation. The scale and accuracy of these...
Cordilleran Flycatcher banding, nestling, and fledgling data from southwestern Colorado, 2009-2018 Cordilleran Flycatcher banding, nestling, and fledgling data from southwestern Colorado, 2009-2018
These tabular data were compiled to assess full annual cycle breeding of the Empidonax occidentalis (Cordilleran Flycatcher). Objectives of our study was to assess facets of the full annual cycle of the Cordilleran Flycatcher. These data represent over nine field seasons of work on the Dolores River in southwestern Colorado with field work conducted from 2009-2018. These data were...
Geologic maps of the Descartes region of the Moon Apollo 16 pre-mission maps Geologic maps of the Descartes region of the Moon Apollo 16 pre-mission maps
The evolution of the Moon’s surface shows three successive stages (Hartmann, 1970). The earliest, from the beginning of the decipherable record to the Imbrian Period, was dominated by frequent large-scale impacts which produced overlapping and interfering craters and giant multi-ringed basin with ejecta blankets. The second stage, extending through most of the Imbrian to early...
Geologic maps of the Apennine-Hadley region of the Moon Apollo 15 pre-mission maps Geologic maps of the Apennine-Hadley region of the Moon Apollo 15 pre-mission maps
This map shows the regional setting of the landing site for the Apollo 15 mission. The area lies approximately 650 km southeast of the center of the Imbrium basin, a large basalt-filled multi-ringed structure in the northwest quadrant of the Moon’s near side. Several arcuate structures surround the Imbrium basin (Hartmann and Kuiper, 1962). The most prominent of these forms the northwest...
