Land area change in coastal Louisiana from 1932 to 2010 Land area change in coastal Louisiana from 1932 to 2010
Coastal Louisiana wetlands make up the seventh largest delta on Earth, contain about 37 percent of the estuarine herbaceous marshes in the conterminous United States, and support the largest commercial fishery in the lower 48 States. These wetlands are in peril because Louisiana currently undergoes about 90 percent of the total coastal wetland loss in the continental United States...
Geologic map of the Ganiki Planitia quadrangle (V-14), Venus Geologic map of the Ganiki Planitia quadrangle (V-14), Venus
The Ganiki Planitia (V-14) quadrangle on Venus, which extends from 25° N. to 50° N. and from 180° E. to 210° E., derives its name from the extensive suite of plains that dominates the geology of the northern part of the region. With a surface area of nearly 6.5 x 106 km2 (roughly two-thirds that of the United States), the quadrangle is located northwest of the Beta-Atla-Themis volcanic...
Surficial geologic map of the Noatak National Preserve, Alaska Surficial geologic map of the Noatak National Preserve, Alaska
The surficial geologic map of the Noatak National Preserve (NNP) is a compilation that incorporates portions of four published USGS maps (Hamilton, 1980, 1981, 1984a,b), a USGS Open-File Report (Hamilton, 2003), and unpublished field mapping. It covers an area of about 28,700 km2, and includes parts of eight 1:250,000-scale quadrangles. The mapped area generally terminates at NNP...
Geospatial characteristics of Florida's coastal and offshore environments: Administrative and political boundaries and offshore sand resources Geospatial characteristics of Florida's coastal and offshore environments: Administrative and political boundaries and offshore sand resources
The Geospatial Characteristics Geopdf of Florida's Coastal and Offshore Environments is a comprehensive collection of geospatial data describing the political and natural resources of Florida. This interactive map provides spatial information on bathymetry, sand resources, military areas, marine protected areas, cultural resources, locations of submerged cables, and shipping routes. The...
Onshore and offshore geologic map of the Coal Oil Point area, southern California Onshore and offshore geologic map of the Coal Oil Point area, southern California
Geologic maps that span the shoreline and include both onshore and offshore areas are potentially valuable tools that can lead to a more in depth understanding of coastal environments. Such maps can contribute to the understanding of shoreline change, geologic hazards, both offshore and along-shore sediment and pollutant transport. They are also useful in assessing geologic and biologic...
Reconnaissance geologic map of the Dubakella Mountain 15’ quadrangle, Trinity, Shasta, and Tehama Counties, California Reconnaissance geologic map of the Dubakella Mountain 15’ quadrangle, Trinity, Shasta, and Tehama Counties, California
The Dubakella Mountain 15' quadrangle is located just south of the Hayfork quadrangle and just east of the Pickett Peak quadrangle. It spans a sequence of four northwest-trending tectonostratigraphic terranes of the Klamath Mountains geologic province that includes, from east to west, the Eastern Hayfork, Western Hayfork, Rattlesnake Creek, and Western Jurassic terranes, as well as, in...
Historical bathymetry and bathymetric change in the Mississippi-Alabama coastal region, 1847-2009 Historical bathymetry and bathymetric change in the Mississippi-Alabama coastal region, 1847-2009
Land loss and seafloor change around the Mississippi and Alabama (MS-AL) barrier islands are of great concern to the public and to local, state, and federal agencies. The islands provide wildlife protected areas and recreational land, and they serve as a natural first line of defense for the mainland against storm activity (index map on poster). Principal physical conditions that drive
Terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs) at a glance Terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs) at a glance
The Global Terrestrial Observing System, Global Climate Observing System, World Meteorological Organization, and Committee on Earth Observation Satellites all support consistent global land observations and measurements. To accomplish this goal, the Global Terrestrial Observing System defined 'essential climate variables' as measurements of atmosphere, oceans, and land that are...
Potentiometric surface in the Central Oklahoma (Garber-Wellington) aquifer, Oklahoma, 2009 Potentiometric surface in the Central Oklahoma (Garber-Wellington) aquifer, Oklahoma, 2009
A study of the hydrogeology of the Central Oklahoma aquifer was started in 2008 to provide the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) hydrogeologic data and a groundwater flow model that can be used as a tool to help manage the aquifer. The 1973 Oklahoma water law requires the OWRB to do hydrologic investigations of Oklahoma's aquifers (termed 'groundwater basins') and to determine...
Geologic map of Medicine Lake volcano, northern California Geologic map of Medicine Lake volcano, northern California
Medicine Lake volcano forms a broad, seemingly nondescript highland, as viewed from any angle on the ground. Seen from an airplane, however, treeless lava flows are scattered across the surface of this potentially active volcanic edifice. Lavas of Medicine Lake volcano, which range in composition from basalt through rhyolite, cover more than 2,000 km2 east of the main axis of the Cascade...
