U.S. Coastal Wetland Synthesis Applications Geonarrative
The U.S. Coastal Wetland Synthesis Applications represent use-cases of the data to address diverse stakeholder needs in the coastal zone. Currently the applications include:
Marsh Lifespan Calculation
Sediment-based lifespan calculation for salt marshes subjected to sea-level rise and sediment deficits. Gateway to two other applications: the Lifespan mapper and the Lifespan calculator.
Geospatial Synthesis
A comprehensive geospatial synthesis of an extensive list of datasets including remote sensing and hydrodynamic modeling data applied to Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, New Jersey.
Synthesis Study Sites
An interactive map displaying the footprint for each marsh-unit based wetland synthesis project. Gateway to online interactive maps and data releases for the most essential datasets for geospatial synthesis.
Southeast Refuges
An application where USGS and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) have been collaborating to assess vulnerability and change in vegetative cover in FWS Southeast Region National Wildlife Refuges using field measurements and remote sensing.
The USGS serves several geonarratives about coastal wetlands:
- U.S. Coastal Wetland Synthesis Applications
- U.S. Coastal Wetland Geospatial Collection
- Coastal Wetlands Geonarrative
