This shapefile archive contains approximate boundaries for each used portion of the raster mosaics, along with associated times raw imagery was collected. These times were used to index to tidal levels obtained from NOAA's Tides and Currents website, using two stations: Bay Waveland Yacht Club, and Pascagoula NOAA Lab. The CSVs obtained from the website have also been included in the archive.Tidal levels may be represented as either a single value, or a range of values for larger areas. This is a subset of available imagery reduced for optimal web viewing. Full resolution and additional datasets are available on the MSU website: Mississippi State University - Geosystems Research Institute: https://uas.hpc.msstate.edu/dmr.php

Groundwater Inventory and Mapping Project, a cooperative effort between the Water Bureau - Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, USGS - Michigan Water Science Center and Michigan State University - Institute of Water Research, RS&GIS and Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering. This project was mandated by P.A. 148 (Michigan Acts of 2003). Major funding was provided by MDEQ, supplemented with additional funds from the USGS Cooperative Water Program.

Using GIS overlay techniques, surface formations extracted from the Quaternary geology map were combined with soil texture groups that had been reclassified from the STATSGO data, based on the Michigan Soil Management Group protocol. The concatenated surface formations and generalized soil texture categories were grouped into glacial landsystems.

Input datasets were compiled by many sources over years ranging from 1968-present. The majority of sources are published journal articles with maps that were digitized. Lake Erie Habitat Task Group data was collected using side scan sonar and proofed with grab samples and underwater video. The shoreline material was extended from the shoreline to the nearshore areas (0 - 30 m of depth) areas of all the Great Lakes except Erie. The shoreline material information is from the the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (2012) and the shoreline classification from Environment Canada Environmental Sensitivity Atlas (1990s). The shoreline material classification was extended to areas deeper than 30 m for missing data locations in northern Lake Superior. The Euclidean Allocation Tool, part of the Spatial Analyst Extension, was used to extend the shoreline material line feature class values into the nearshore and missing data areas.

Dataset Abstract Aerial photography is considered an important management tool in agriculture. Aerial photography allows researchers to detect spatial variability and understand the causes of the variability such as planter skips, drought stress, weeds and water erosion. In agricultural research it allows researchers to differentiate healthy vegetation from unhealthy and access plant biomass and moisture levels. The photographs are also useful to document trends and changes in the landscape. original data source http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/dataset/44

A spatial variability study conducted across the LTER Main Site area (45 ha) at KBS prior to dividing the site into 1-ha experimental plots. During the 1988 growing season a stratified unaligned sampling scheme was used to collect 400-600 geo-referenced samples across the site (uniformly planted to a single variety of soybeans) for: geomorphological characteristics (microtopography, soil horizon depths, bulk density, texture); soil chemical characteristics (pH, NO3, NH4, total C, total N, moisture, inorganic P, trace metals); soil biological characteristics (N mineralization potentials, microbial biomass C, microbial biomass N, fungal/bacterial ratios, nematodes and other soil invertebrates; seed bank size); plant weed species abundance, weed biomass at peak standing crop); and insect characteristics (major pest and predator species). Most soil samples were taken before crop emergence, plant phenology samples were taken throughout the growing season, biomass samples were taken at physiological maturity, and insect samples were taken continuously. Dried soil and plant samples are archived for potential future analysis. original data source http://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datasets/6 Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Website Pointer to html file.

Those portions of grids 505 and 506 which lie north of a line from Hammond Bay Harbor buoy to the northeast corner of grid 506. Regulations: This zone shall be open to fishers from all Tribes. The following restrictions apply to large mesh gill net operations in that portion of Lake Huron grids 505 and 506 that lies north of the line described above. Effort shall be restricted to a maximum of 8,500 feet of net per vessel; and Fishing shall be limited to depths of seventy-five (75) feet or deeper from the Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day. Maps for general reference only: refer to text of Consent Decree 2000 for exact locations and provisions.Created a new polygon shapefile in ArcGIS 8.1. The new pollygon layer was created using the snapping tool in ArcMap. Starting form the northeast corner of the new polygon (as outlined in the Consent Decree 2000 documentation) and heading in a counter clockwise direction snapping to the vertices and edges of an adjacent layer created earlier, snapping to the vertices and edges of the MDNR (University of Michigan) Statistical Grid layer, and finishing the sketch at the starting point. The desired features were then reprojected from Michigan georef to Decimal Degrees to create the final Portion of Northern Lake Huron Inter- Tribal Fishing Zone layer.The boundaries represented on consent decree maps are approximations based on the text contained in the 2000 Consent Decree. For legal descriptions of geographic extent or details pertaining to regulations for these representations refer to the original 2000 Consent Decree Document.

DNR Land and Mineral Ownership compiled and mapped at quarter-quarter section level, based on parcel data in Real Estate Information System (REIS). Includes type of ownership (mineral rights, surface rights, and fee) and acreage for each type, by quarter-quarter section. State ownership files are in an ArcView shapefile format, with one shapefile for each county. Associated attribute table includes: number of parcels, type of ownership, and acreage of ownership for each quarter-quarter section.

For full FGDC metadata record, please click here.This is a point feature class describing the location of potential spill sources/locations within the boundaries of responsibilities of the United States Coast Guard District 7/8 Sectors: Charleston (including MSU Savannah), Jacksonville, Miami, Key West, Saint Petersburg, Mobile (District 8), and San Juan. The data was collected from ACP workshops and USCG from each Sector. The information was then digitized in Arc/Info 9.3 in 'heads-up' manner within the ACP Map extent using aerial imagery and other reference features as background coverage. This information was then converted to an ESRI shapefile for use in the Digital Area Contingency Plans produced by FWRI for USCG District Seven/Eight.

Michigan DNR Fisheries Division hydroacoustic survey data (2003-2011) were collected annually at survey stations in Lake St. Claire to document the abundance and distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation. The hydrouacoustic surveys at each station consisted of 11 parallel east-west boat transects spaced 10 m apart within a square hectare plot. Not all survey stations were sampled every year; to allow for sufficient data for mapping, sonar records across multiple years were compiled and averaged on a per station basis. Plant height, percent of lake bottom covered by aquatic plants and percent of water column containing plant biomass interpolated layers were generated from this data using ordinary kriging and the ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst. The MDNR Fisheries Research Report 2099, documenting hydroacoustic survey methods and results from the years 2003-2007. Kriging parameters are as follows: SAV_mean_per_cover_2003_2007; no transformations, no trend removal; Gaussian semivariogram model, nugget = 745, major range = 9902, partial sill = 579, number of lags = 12, lag size = 1089; smooth search neighborhood, smoothing factor = 0.1
