Inventory of Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) in Doshi-Shibar: Points (2018)
Afghanistan is endowed with a broad range of mineral resources. Currently, the majority of mining throughout the country is comprised of informal and undocumented artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) operations. The exact scope of excavation operations depends largely on the mineral commodity produced. In the case of gemstones, such as emeralds and rubies, small teams of miners use manual equipm
Community sourced mid-Piacenzian sea surface temperature (SST) data
This data set collects, from peer-reviewed research, values of sea surface temperature (SST) that occurred at various sites across the Earth during a brief period of the mid-Piacenzian
USGS Gulf Coast Petroleum Systems, and National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Projects - USGS Province 50 Assessment Unit Boundaries and Assessment Input Forms
The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System. The Assessment Unit is shown herein as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologist responsible for the province and incorporates a set o
Calcareous nannofossil assemblage data from the upper Floridan Aquifer in the Pineora, Cockspur Island, and Palm Dunes cores, GA and SC
Calcareous nannofossil assemblage data for the Pineora, Cockspur Island, and Palm Dunes cores.
Planktic foraminifer census data for ODP Sites 907, 909 and 911
Average abundances of polar/subpolar planktic foraminiferal species n the North Atlantic for Nordic Sea ODP Sites 907 and 909 represent percentages when Nordic Sea water was warm enough to support foraminifera. N. atlantica relative abundances at very high northern latitudes (ODP Site 909) are lower than at subpolar latitudes because N. pachyderma (s) dominated these very cold waters during the Pl
PRISM late Pliocene (Piacenzian) alkenone - derived SST data
This dataset collects sea surface temperature data generated through alkenone analysis of late Pliocene sediments collected from cores and field localities by USGS PRISM project members. Alkenone analysis of sample material was performed by Timothy Herbert at Brown University.
GIS data for predicting the occurrence of cave-inhabiting fauna based on features of the Earth surface environment in the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) Region
Cave-limited species display patchy and restricted distributions, but are challenging to study in situ because of the difficulty of sampling. It is often unclear whether the observed distribution is a sampling artifact or a true restriction in range. Further, the drivers of the distribution could be local environmental conditions, such as cave humidity, or they could be associated with surface fea
Digital geologic map data for the Ozark National Scenic Riverways and adjacent areas along the Current River and Jacks Fork, Missouri
This is a seamless compilation of GIS data for geologic coverage of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (NPS) in the southern Ozarks of Missouri. It is compiles from 1:24,000 data that was previously published as 7.5 minute quadrangle maps. This compilation will give the park a continuous coverage of the park for land management and natural science research purposes.
Geodatabase for the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia
The US Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Park Service, conducted detailed geologic mapping on 35 7.5-minute quadrangles, within a 2-mile-wide+ corridor centered on the Parkway, from BLRI (Blue Ridge Parkway) Mile Post (MP) 0 near Afton, Virginia southward to MP 218 at Cumberland Knob, approximately 1.3 km south of the Virginia - North Carolina State Line.
