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.

Sap flux and biophysical measurements of select trees at Panola Mountain Research Watershed, Georgia, 2019 Sap flux and biophysical measurements of select trees at Panola Mountain Research Watershed, Georgia, 2019

This data release contains a zipped folder with two comma delimited data files and two companion metadata files. The data files are: 1.) sap_flux_data.csv and; 2.) biophysical_characteristics_of_instrumented_trees.csv. The sap flux data were stored in data loggers every 10-minutes for 15 riparian trees. Sap flux was estimated using heat-pulse velocity sensors at three depths into the...

Daily Mean Runoff and Precipitation at Panola Mountain Research Watershed, Stockbridge, GA., water years 1986–2019 Daily Mean Runoff and Precipitation at Panola Mountain Research Watershed, Stockbridge, GA., water years 1986–2019

This data release contains two tabular data files and associated metadata. One tabular data file has mean daily runoff from the lower stream gage and total daily precipitation from the Panola Mountain Research Watershed.The other tabular data file contains data edit codes, their descriptions, and the associated data quality code.

Treeband measurements of Taxodium distichum in coastal Louisiana, USA from August 2004 through April 2016 Treeband measurements of Taxodium distichum in coastal Louisiana, USA from August 2004 through April 2016

To study the long-term effects of hydrology and salinity on the health of these systems, we fitted dendrometer bands on selected trees in permanent forest productivity plots established between 2004 and 2006 within six baldcypress stands. Three of these stands were in freshwater sites permanently or seasonally flooded with low salinity (0.1-1.3 ppt), while the other three are affected by...

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...
