Exploring the USGS Science Data Life Cycle in the Cloud

Executive Summary Traditionally in the USGS, data is processed and analyzed on local researcher computers, then moved to centralized, remote computers for preservation and publishing (ScienceBase, Pubs Warehouse). This approach requires each researcher to have the necessary hardware and software for processing and analysis, and also to bring all external data required for the workflow...

Alaska Digitize Project Alaska Digitize Project

Processing methodology for the seafloor substrate data required multiple steps to georegister, digitize, clean, and validate the datasets. Sediments such as gravel, sand, and mud were available as verbal notations on the smooth sheets and the data on any one smooth sheet were digitized by one person and then proofed by another. Once the locations of the sediment point data were collected...

Habitat suitability models for groundfish in the Gulf of Alaska Habitat suitability models for groundfish in the Gulf of Alaska

Identifying and quantifying the major ecosystem processes that regulate recruitment strength of commercially and ecologically important fish species is a central goal of fisheries management research. In the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) five groundfish species are of particular interest: sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus)...

Using smooth sheets to describe groundfish habitat in Alaskan waters, with specific application to two flatfishes Using smooth sheets to describe groundfish habitat in Alaskan waters, with specific application to two flatfishes

In this analysis we demonstrate how preferred fish habitat can be predicted and mapped for juveniles of two Alaskan groundfish species – Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) and flathead sole (Hippoglossoides elassodon) – at five sites (Kiliuda Bay, Izhut Bay, Port Dick, Aialik Bay, and the Barren Islands) in the central Gulf of Alaska. The method involves using geographic...
