Data

A repository for USGS ISO metadata content specifications. Content specifications define documentation requirements for various USGS data and software products. These specs are used to guide authors in developing robust standardized metadata using the ISO 19115 suite of metadata standards. The repository is used for development, testing and implementation of content spec modules. It...

This dataset contains information about waterfall locations and estimated waterfall heights on five of the main Hawaiian Islands including Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, and Hawaii. Initial spatial information was gathered from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), the Hawaii Statewide GIS Program, and the World Waterfall Database. Where image...

Data is primarily type fossils from the USGS Menlo Park vertebrate Cenozioc Paleontology Collection created and maintained by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Data was collected by paleontologist Charles A. Repenning during his forty years of service within the USGS Paleontology And Stratigraphy Branch. His catalog was converted into digital form, Excel and Filemaker Pro database. The...

The Species Richness Maps included here are based on the Gap Analysis Project (GAP) habitat maps, which are predictions of the spatial distribution of suitable environmental and land cover conditions within the United States for individual species. Individual species habitat distribution models were summed to create the total richness for each vertebrate taxa. The summing process was...

This CSV file contains landscape factors representing anthropogenic disturbances to stream habitats summarized within local and network stream catchments of Southeast Alaska. The source datasets compiled and attributed to spatial units were identified as being: (1) meaningful for assessing fluvial fish habitat; (2) consistent across the entire study area in the way that they were...

The Mojave Plots Points data are 1,219 plot locations in the Central Mojave Desert where field data were recorded and photographs were taken from 1997-1999 to provide context for the classification of the Central Mojave Desert into various vegetation classes. The 1,219 plot locations in the plots points shapefile (plots_points.shp) are each assigned a unique identifier called the...

The USGS Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is the nation's inventory of protected areas, including public open space and voluntarily provided, private protected areas, identified as an A-16 National Geospatial Data Asset in the Cadastral Theme (https://communities.geoplatform.gov/ngda-cadastre/). PAD-US is an ongoing project with several published versions of a...

This dataset represents a species known range extent for Calidris alpina (Dunlin). These range maps are created by attributing sub-watershed polygons with information of a species presence, origin, seasonal and reproductive use.

This dataset represents a species known range extent for Arborimus pomo (Sonoma Tree Vole). These range maps are created by attributing sub-watershed polygons with information of a species presence, origin, seasonal and reproductive use.

This dataset represents a species known range extent for Plethodon ventralis (Southern Zigzag Salamander). These range maps are created by attributing sub-watershed polygons with information of a species presence, origin, seasonal and reproductive use.

This dataset represents a species known range extent for Sceloporus occidentalis (Western Fence Lizard). These range maps are created by attributing sub-watershed polygons with information of a species presence, origin, seasonal and reproductive use.

This dataset represents a species known range extent for Graptemys nigrinoda (Black-knobbed Map Turtle). These range maps are created by attributing sub-watershed polygons with information of a species presence, origin, seasonal and reproductive use.
