Lidar-derived closed depression vector data and density raster in karst areas of Monroe County, West Virginia
Monroe County in southeastern West Virginia hosts world-class karst within carbonate units of Mississippian and Ordovician age. Lidar-derived elevation data acquired in late December of 2016 were used to create a 3-meter resolution working digital elevation model (DEM), from which surface depressions were identified using a semi-automated workflow in ArcGIS. Depressions in the automated inventory
Hydrologic, slope movement, and soil property data from the coastal bluffs of the Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, 2016-2018
Seasonal variations in vegetation, rainfall, and soil moisture conditions have the potential to impact the slope stability of locally forested coastal bluffs in the Atlantic Highlands of New Jersey. Both the seasonality and rainfall amounts of the two types of storms that induce shallow landslides in the area vary considerably. Most of the documented historical landslides are the result of heavy r
Monitoring data from the Aleppo rockslide, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, November 2013 - December 2018
Upon reactivation, movement of deep-seated landslides in the Greater Pittsburgh region may persist for long periods of time. Monitoring equipment was located at two sites on a deep-seated rockslide in Aleppo Township, Pennsylvania to establish relationships between precipitation and changes in the state of activity and velocity. Precipitation, snow depth, and air temperature are monitored at a wea
Enhanced Terrain Imagery of the Pepacton Reservoir 30 x 60 Minute Quadrangle from Lidar-derived Elevation Models at 3 Meter Resolution
This imagery dataset consists of 3-meter resolution, lidar-derived imagery of the Pepacton Reservoir 30 x 60 minute quadrangle in New York and covers part of the Delaware River Basin. The source data used to construct this imagery consist of 1 meter and 2 meter resolution lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEM). The lidar source data were compiled from different acquisitions published between
Enhanced Terrain Imagery of the Monticello 30 x 60 Minute Quadrangle from Lidar-Derived Elevation Models at 3-Meter Resolution
This imagery dataset consists of 3-meter resolution, Lidar-derived imagery of the Monticello 30 x 60 minute quadrangle in New York and covers part of the Delaware River Basin. The source data used to construct this imagery consists of 1-meter and 2-meter resolution Lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEM). The Lidar source data were compiled from different acquisitions published between 2005 a
Enhanced Terrain Imagery of the Winchester 30 x 60 Minute Quadrangle from Lidar-derived Elevation Models at 3 Meter Resolution
This imagery dataset consists of 3 meter resolution, Lidar-derived imagery of the Winchester 30 x 60 minute quadrangle in northern Virginia, West Virginia, and western Maryland. The source data used to construct this imagery consists of 1 meter resolution lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEM). The lidar source data were compiled from different acquisitions published between 2011 and 2019. T
Data release for depth to bedrock from Connecticut Water Resources Bulletins
This data release consists of information from published tables in Connecticut Water Resources Bulletins (WRBs) transcribed into tabular digital format. Information about wells and test holes in the WRBs used in this data release consists of geographic location, depth to consolidated rock (bedrock depth), and depth of the well or test hole. The WRBs, published between 1966 and 1980 by the U.S. Geo
Data release for depth to bedrock from Rhode Island Water Resources Maps
This data release, RI_WRpts.gdb, consists of information from Rhode Island Ground-water maps published by the Rhode Island Water Resources Coordinating Board, the Rhode Island Port and Industrial Development Commission, Rhode Island Industrial Commission, and the Rhode Island Development Council; in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey. The point data on these maps have been digitized into
Isotope, organic carbon, and biostratigraphic data for the Hope Plantation (BE-110) and Smith Elementary School (CR-675) cores, North Carolina
Isotopic, geochemical, and calcareous nannofossil data for the Hope Plantation and Smith Elementary School cores
Point locations of brick kilns in Kabul, Afghanistan, derived from 1965, 2004, 2011, and 2018 satellite imagery
This dataset was created as part of the USGS Afghanistan Project investigating artisanal and small-scale mining activity. Clay mining for brick making purposes represents a small but important segment of the mineral extraction industry in Kabul, Afghanistan. Over the past several decades Kabul has grown from a relatively small city, with a 1970 population of less than 500,000 people, to a sprawlin
Afghanistan Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) Areas (ver. 3.0, June 2021)
This data release catalogs currently active ASM operations in Afghanistan in various parts of the country. The dataset was developed through visual interpretation of mining features from the most recently available very high-resolution satellite imagery. The polygon-based shapefiles contains 1 square kilometer gridcells, each of which indicates the presence (and number) of mine sites recorded with
Data associated with the investigation of suitable habitat for the endangered plant Harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum Rose) in the Potomac River near Hancock Maryland
In lieu of a uniform mapping of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park corridor at very high-resolution using UAS, this study developed a multi-scale workflow, where (1) geospatial modeling methods and (2) historic image analysis were used to constrain the areal extent of (3) detailed field and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) observation.
