The goal of this project is to provide a preliminary overview, at a National scale, the relative susceptibility of the Nation's coast to sea- level rise through the use of a coastal vulnerability index (CVI). This initial classification is based upon the variables geomorphology, regional coastal slope, tide range, wave height, relative sea-level rise and shoreline erosion and accretion rates. The combination of these variables and the association of these variables to each other furnish a broad overview of regions where physical changes are likely to occur due to sea-level rise.

This dataset represents an aquifer sensitivity rating for land surface slope in the State of Wyoming. This dataset is specifically to be used within a DRASTIC-type aquifer sensitivity/vulnerability analysis. The dataset is in raster format, either 100 or 500 meter cell size. For more details about this dataset, please refer to this report: Hamerlinck, J.D. and Arneson, C.S., editors, 1998, Wyoming Ground-Water Vulnerability Assessment Handbook: Volume 1. Background, Model Development, and Aquifer Sensitivity Analysis: Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center Publication WyGISC 98-01-1, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY.

These data are a qualitatively derived interpretive polygon shapefile defining surficial sediment type and distribution, and geomorphology, for nearly 1,400 square kilometers of sea floor on the inner-continental shelf from Fenwick Island, Maryland to Fisherman’s Island, Virginia, USA. These data are classified according to Barnhardt and others (1998) bottom-type classification system, which was modified to highlight changes in secondary sediment-types such as mud and gravel across this primarily sandy shelf. Most of the geophysical and sample data used to create this interpretive layer were collected as part of the Linking Coastal Processes and Vulnerability: Assateague Island Regional Study project (GS2-2C), supported...

Geologic, sediment texture, and physiographic zone maps characterize the sea floor south and west of Martha's Vineyard and north of Nantucket, Massachusetts. These maps were derived from interpretations of seismic-reflection profiles, high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, bottom photographs, and surficial sediment samples. The interpretation of the seismic stratigraphy and mapping of glacial and Holocene marine units provided a foundation on which the surficial maps were created. This mapping is a result of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management to characterize the surface and subsurface geologic framework offshore of...

This file contains one of many raster grids of the Elevation Derivatives for National Applications (EDNA), a multi-layered database that provides systematic and consistent topographically-derived hydrologic derivatives. The slope grid was generated from the filled DEM using the "slope" function. The grid was created with the degree, not percent, slope parameter.

This dataset represents aspect, the horizontal direction the mountain slope faces, for the Northeast, including Canada. The cool aspect represents the North-facing slope and the warm aspect represents the South-facing slope. This dataset is derived from the following source: 30 meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the Northeast (projected to NAD Albers 83) that was created by mosaicing two datasets: 1. U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) 30 meter National Elevation Dataset (NED) , ~1 arc-second data that is updated over large areas by integrating the 10 meter or better source data (where available), re-sampled to 1 arc-second. 2. The Canadian Digital Elevation Data, Level 1 (CDED1) The Center of Topographic Information...

Escape terrain for bighorn sheep was defined as habitat patches that occurred on slopes between 30-85%. Elevation data was retrieved from USGS NED website and slopes were extract that fell within the defined elevation range. The bighorn sheep range habitat dataset was then intersected with the extracted slope data to isolate patches that had the required 30-85% slope criteria, where patches falling within this slope range having an area greater than 1.6 ha were considered good. Those having an area less than 1.6ha were considered poor.

Percent slope was analyzed by modeling the USGS NED raster for slope values. The slope grid was then reclassified into three categories reflecting the pronghorn’s preference for flat landscapes. Slope values of 5% or less were categorized as preferred and those above 20% were low quality.
