Chesapeake Bay Tidal Shoreline, Chesapeake Bay Program Phase 7 Model Chesapeake Bay Tidal Shoreline, Chesapeake Bay Program Phase 7 Model

This polygon dataset represents the tidal water shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. It is based primarily on shoreline data with horizontal positional accuracy of +/- 2meters provided by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM), with minor modifications in seven locations. In six instances, the modifications were made...

Experiences of experts in managing and researching chronic wasting disease obtained through 2023 semi-structured interviews Experiences of experts in managing and researching chronic wasting disease obtained through 2023 semi-structured interviews

The provided dataset is the coded analysis of qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted with managers and researchers who are experts on chronic wasting disease (CWD). CWD is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy disease that affects species in the Cervidae family. CWD has also proven difficult to manage and the disease continues to spread across North America and parts of...

Aquifer framework datasets used to represent the Pecos River Basin alluvial aquifer, Texas, New Mexico Aquifer framework datasets used to represent the Pecos River Basin alluvial aquifer, Texas, New Mexico

The Pecos River Basin alluvial aquifer, hereinafter referred to as the "Pecos aquifer", is located in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico. The aquifer is primarily composed of alluvial sand and gravel deposits mantled by sand and silt. The Pecos aquifer overlies Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous-age rocks. The saturated thickness of the aquifer ranges from 0 to 1000 feet. The...
