Fire impacts on permafrost in Alaska: Geophysical and other field data collected in 2015 Fire impacts on permafrost in Alaska: Geophysical and other field data collected in 2015

Fire can be a significant driver of permafrost change in boreal landscapes, altering the availability of soil carbon and nutrients that have important implications for future climate and ecological succession. However, not all landscapes are equally susceptible to fire-induced change. As fire frequency is expected to increase in the high latitudes, methods to understand the vulnerability...

Shoreline delineations for 21 Subestuaries in the Chesapeake Bay 2010-2014. Shoreline delineations for 21 Subestuaries in the Chesapeake Bay 2010-2014.

In many coastal regions throughout the world, there is increasing pressure to harden shorelines to protect human infrastructures against sea level rise, storm surge, and erosion. These data reflect the digitization of the shorelines of 21 sub-estuaries throughout the Chesapeake Bay (USA) as observed from 2010 through 2014. Shoreline segments are classified into one of seven shoreline...

Database of Geomorphic Features, Klamath River, California 2010 Database of Geomorphic Features, Klamath River, California 2010

The USGS, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, compiled a map of geomorphic features along a 140-km segment of the main stem Klamath River below Iron Gate Dam, CA. Flood disturbance within the study reach is produced by the combined effect of natural flows and reservoir releases. The physical response of the Klamath River...
