Data

The climate history, land cover and land surface data developed by the Land Change Science Program in the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area is vital to various types of research and management applications, including assessing the impacts of climate change, evaluating ecosystem status and health, understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity, and informing land use planning.

Cenozoic Coccolith Collection of David Bukry in Oregon and Washington, USA Cenozoic Coccolith Collection of David Bukry in Oregon and Washington, USA

Micropaleontological data have provided essential stratigraphic age control for geologic investigations in the Cascadia forearc, such as the Coast Range-Olympic Mountains and Puget-Willamette Lowland west of the Cascade Range. Foraminiferal assemblages and, later, coccoliths (calcareous nanoplankton) have been the most abundant microfossils recovered from the Cenozoic sequence. The...

When and where could rising seas cross thresholds for initiating wetland drowning across conterminous United States? When and where could rising seas cross thresholds for initiating wetland drowning across conterminous United States?

Recent data syntheses have clarified future relative sea-level rise exposure and sensitivity thresholds for drowning. We integrated these advances to estimate when and where rising sea levels could cross thresholds for initiating wetland drowning across the conterminous United States. We evaluated three sea-level rise thresholds for wetland drowning (4, 7, and 10 mm/yr). Our study area...

Community-sourced lower Zanclean [early Pliocene] sea surface temperature (SST) data Community-sourced lower Zanclean [early Pliocene] sea surface temperature (SST) data

This data set collects, from peer-reviewed research, values of sea surface temperature (SST) that occurred at select sites across the Earth during a brief period of the lower- Zanclean.

Sea-level rise and high tide flooding inundation probability and depth statistics at De Soto National Memorial, Florida Sea-level rise and high tide flooding inundation probability and depth statistics at De Soto National Memorial, Florida

This dataset includes elevation-based probability and depth statistics for estimating inundation under various sea-level rise and high tide flooding scenarios in and around the National Park Service’s De Soto National Memorial. These datasets were developed using 1-m digital elevation model (DEM) from the 3D Elevation program. This data release includes results from analyses of two local...

Wetland migration analysis for relative sea-level rise scenarios in Nassau and Duval Counties, Florida Wetland migration analysis for relative sea-level rise scenarios in Nassau and Duval Counties, Florida

This dataset includes probabilistic outputs for estimating areal coverage of current wetland coverage and potential wetland migration under various relative sea-level rise scenarios in Nassau and Duval Counties, which includes the City of Jacksonville and the U.S. National Park Service's Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. These data contain potential migration for regularly...

Classification of crop types in central California from 2005 - 2020 Classification of crop types in central California from 2005 - 2020

This dataset is support materials for the publication "Crop type classification, trends, and patterns of central California agricultural fields from 2005 – 2020". This data release is comprised of two child datasets. The first dataset, 'Labeled_CropType_Points', is a shapefile that consists of randomly selected point locations in which crop types were verified using high resolution...

Sea-level rise and high tide flooding inundation probability and depth statistics in Nassau and Duval Counties, Florida Sea-level rise and high tide flooding inundation probability and depth statistics in Nassau and Duval Counties, Florida

This dataset includes elevation-based probability and depth statistics for estimating inundation under various sea-level rise and high tide flooding scenarios in and around the National Park Service’s Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. These datasets were developed using 1-m digital elevation model (DEM) from 2018 with reduced elevation error in coastal wetlands (McHenry and...

Projected mangrove distribution and ecosystem properties in the southeastern United States under climate change Projected mangrove distribution and ecosystem properties in the southeastern United States under climate change

We evaluated changes in mangrove distribution and ecosystem properties in the southeastern United States under climate change using known climate-ecological relationships, recent climate data for the period 1981-2010, and future projected climate data for the period 2071-2100 under two Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs): the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, which correspond to...

Annual End-of-Summer Snow Cover on Glaciers in Alaska and Northwest Canada Annual End-of-Summer Snow Cover on Glaciers in Alaska and Northwest Canada

This dataset contains observations of the distribution of end-of-summer snow cover on approximately 3000 glaciers across Alaska and Northwest Canada. The data are provided as: (1) GeoTIFF rasters indicating the spatial extent of end-of-summer snow cover on each glacier's surface in each year (one raster per glacier per year), and (2) yearly tables with the equilibrium line altitude and...

Occurrences of Pliocene Planktic foraminifers in core samples from SE Florida Occurrences of Pliocene Planktic foraminifers in core samples from SE Florida

Data consist of presence / absence records of planktic foraminifer species from 5 core samples at 3 localities in southeast Florida. Samples are placed in biostratigraphic zones and ages are estimated from calibrated first and last appearances of select taxa.

Everglades mangrove vegetation data from 23 long-term plots (1992-2011) Everglades mangrove vegetation data from 23 long-term plots (1992-2011)

Twenty-three long-term mangrove vegetation plots were established between 1992-1997 within the southwest coastal region of Everglades National Park (Florida, USA) to quantify tree damage and recovery following hurricanes and to understand the effects of global climate change. Many of the mangrove vegetation plots were associated with hydrology, soil porewater, and soil surface elevation...
