True-color aerial imagery collected during uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations - Dog Head Marsh at South Cape Beach, Mashpee, MA, October 7 - 8, 2021

The purpose of this field data collection was to test and compare the OceanInsight HDX Mini Spectrometer as an accessible alternative against the more expensive ASD Fieldspec for collecting ground-based hyperspectral reflectance profiles for landcover analysis. The data collection took place in Dog Head Marsh and South Cape Beach within the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (WBNERR). The hyperspectral profiles were collected side-by-side with both field-spectrometers using comparable sensor collection settings for various ground cover samples. The terrain and vegetation type of these sample were described as well as surveyed using Real Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS). This data...

GPFHP_Southern_Headwaters_Restoration_Priorities

Fishery and aquatic scientists often assess habitats to understand the distribution, status, stressors, and relative abundance of aquatic resources. Due to the spatial nature of aquatic habitats and the increasing scope of management concerns, using traditional analytical methods for assessment is often difficult.However, advancements in the geographic information systems (GIS) field and related technologies have enabled scientists and managers to more effectively collate, archive, display, analyze, and model spatial and temporal data. For example, spatially explicit habitat assessment models allow for a more robust interpretation of many terrestrial and aquatic datasets, including physical and biological monitoring...

Brewer's Sparrow Core Areas

These data represent multispecies core areas for breeding habitats of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), Brewer’s sparrow (Spizella breweri), sagebrush sparrow (Artemisiospiza nevadensis), and sage thrasher (Oreoscoptes montanus). Core areas represent the smallest land base necessary to contain the resulting distributions across all species; for example, a 25% core area represents the minimum area containing at least 25% of the distributions for each of the four species. These models were developed using prioritzR (https://prioritizr.net/index.html) using minimum set algorithms and relative targets set equally across each of the four bird layers.

Hawaii Waterfalls Linked to the National Hydrography Datasets

This dataset contains information about waterfall locations and estimated waterfall heights on five of the main Hawaiian Islands including Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, and Hawaii. Initial spatial information was gathered from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), the Hawaii Statewide GIS Program, and the World Waterfall Database. Where image quality permitted, the coordinates and spatial attributes from source data were used to verify and improve the quality of waterfall locations using Google Earth Pro (Google Inc. 2017)and the USGS HydroLink Tool. The HydroLink Tool was also used to link data to both the NHDPlusV2.1 and NHD High Resolution datasets by adding NHD addressing...
