This pilot mapping project, produced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) in collaboration with staff from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), provides general information on the potential risk to species of concern and sensitive habitats from proposed wind energy projects in the coastal plain of North Carolina. The map is intended to assist wind energy developers with appropriate siting of proposed wind energy projects that are subject to the Service’s 2012 Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines, particularly during the Tier 1(Preliminary Site Evaluation) and Tier 2 (Site Characterization) stages of site evaluation. It is intended to be used as a general guidance, and should not be used...

This data set is a 20ft resolution raster representing the percentage of LiDAR points which fall 3 to 7 meters above ground layer for the eastern 60 counties of North Carolina. This data was derived from the 2014 and 2015 QL2 LiDAR datasets collected by USGS and the North Carolina Department of Public Safety. This data was processed using Laszip software to compress the LAS data to LASZIP format, GDAL gdalbuildvirt was used to create county mosaics of 5ft resolution. For each county, the LAZ files were aggregated and processed using GRASS GIS version 7.2 svn 11/21/2016 , using r.in.lidar with the following options: r.in.lidar --o -d file=laslist.txt output=Countyname_20ft_ch method=n base_raster=Count_5ft_DEM z_range=9.84252,22.9659...

The Pacific Region National Wildlife Refuge System developed a strategic approach to identify region-wide land/habitat conservation priorities. This approach was piloted in the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion and resulted in a high-level landscape-scale conservation design. Working closely with conservation partners in the region, we developed a data management and analysis model that builds from existing data sets and can be shared easily with other partners.FY20122012 Objectives: Document a case study on implementing strategic conservation design for the refuge system, which can serve as a model and be applied to other geographic areas Develop a clear picture of landscape scale priorities in the Columbia Plateau, along...

The Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska (QTU), a federally recognized sovereign nation located in the Aleutian Chain, Alaska,relies on a subsistence lifestyle for food security, traditional and cultural values, and economic benefits. However,subsistence foods and public health is currently at risk due to the confirmed detection of the Avian Influenza (HPAI) in redfox and eagles from Unalaska. Given that Alaska has been identified as a point of entry for Asian-origin influenza virusesinto North America, which has resulted in at least one fatality, zoonotic exposure to avian-origin influenza viruses is animportant human health concern. QTU plans to develop a team with tribal, city, Ounalashka Corporation, and state andfederal...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
