The High Resolution Digital Elevation Model (HRDEM) product is derived from airborne LiDAR data (mainly in the south) and satellite images in the north. The complete coverage of the Canadian territory is gradually being established. It includes a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), a Digital Surface Model (DSM) and other derived data. For DTM datasets, derived data available are slope, aspect, shaded relief, color relief and color shaded relief maps and for DSM datasets, derived data available are shaded relief, color relief and color shaded relief maps. The productive forest line is used to separate the northern and the southern parts of the country. This line is approximate and may change based on requirements. In the southern part of the country (south of the productive forest line), DTM and DSM datasets are generated from airborne LiDAR data. They are offered at a 1 m or 2 m resolution and projected to the UTM NAD83 (CSRS) coordinate system and the corresponding zones. The datasets at a 1 m resolution cover an area of 10 km x 10 km while datasets at a 2 m resolution cover an area of 20 km by 20 km. In the northern part of the country (north of the productive forest line), due to the low density of vegetation and infrastructure, only DSM datasets are generally generated. Most of these datasets have optical digital images as their source data. They are generated at a 2 m resolution using the Polar Stereographic North coordinate system referenced to WGS84 horizontal datum or UTM NAD83 (CSRS) coordinate system. Each dataset covers an area of 50 km by 50 km. For some locations in the north, DSM and DTM datasets can also be generated from airborne LiDAR data. In this case, these products will be generated with the same specifications as those generated from airborne LiDAR in the southern part of the country. The HRDEM product is referenced to the Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum of 2013 (CGVD2013), which is now the reference standard for heights across Canada. Source data for HRDEM datasets is acquired through multiple projects with different partners. Since data is being acquired by project, there is no integration or edgematching done between projects. The tiles are aligned within each project. The product High Resolution Digital Elevation Model (HRDEM) is part of the CanElevation Series created in support to the National Elevation Data Strategy implemented by NRCan. Collaboration is a key factor to the success of the National Elevation Data Strategy. Refer to the “Supporting Document” section to access the list of the different partners including links to their respective data.

This resource contains data inputs and a Jupyter Notebook that is used to introduce Hydrologic Analysis using Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models (TauDEM) and Python. TauDEM is a free and open-source set of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) tools developed at Utah State University for the extraction and analysis of hydrologic information from topography. This resource is part of a HydroLearn Physical Hydrology learning module available at https://edx.hydrolearn.org/courses/course-v1:Utah_State_University+CEE6400+2019_Fall/about

In this activity, the student learns how to (1) derive hydrologically useful information from Digital Elevation Models (DEMs); (2) describe the sequence of steps involved in mapping stream networks, catchments, and watersheds; and (3) compute an approximate water balance for a watershed-based on publicly available data.

Please note that this exercise is designed for the Logan River watershed, which drains to USGS streamflow gauge 10109000 located just east of Logan, Utah. However, this Jupyter Notebook and the analysis can readily be applied to other locations of interest. If running the terrain analysis for other study sites, you need to prepare a DEM TIF file, an outlet shapefile for the area of interest, and the average annual streamflow and precipitation data. - There are several sources to obtain DEM data. In the U.S., the DEM data (with different spatial resolutions) can be obtained from the National Elevation Dataset available from the national map (http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/). Another DEM data source is the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (https://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/), an international research effort that obtained digital elevation models on a near-global scale (search for Digital Elevation at https://www.usgs.gov/centers/eros/science/usgs-eros-archive-products-overview?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects). - If not already available, you can generate the outlet shapefile by applying basic terrain analysis steps in geospatial information system models such as ArcGIS or QGIS. - You also need to obtain average annual streamflow and precipitation data for the watershed of interest to assess the annual water balance and calculate the runoff ratio in this exercise. In the U.S., the streamflow data can be obtained from the USGS NWIS website (https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis) and the precipitation from PRISM (https://prism.oregonstate.edu/normals/). Note that using other datasets may require preprocessing steps to make data ready to use for this exercise.

This is a tiled collection of the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and is one meter resolution. The 3DEP data holdings serve as the elevation layer of The National Map, and provide foundational elevation information for earth science studies and mapping applications in the United States. Scientists and resource managers use 3DEP data for hydrologic modeling, resource monitoring, mapping and visualization, and many other applications. The elevations in this DEM represent the topographic bare-earth surface. USGS standard one-meter DEMs are produced exclusively from high resolution light detection and ranging (lidar) source data of one-meter or higher resolution. One-meter DEM surfaces are seamless within collection projects, but, not necessarily seamless across projects. The spatial reference used for tiles of the one-meter DEM within the conterminous United States (CONUS) is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) in units of meters, and in conformance with the North American Datum of 1983 ...

This is a collection of all GPS- and computer-generated geospatial data specific to the Alpine Treeline Warming Experiment (ATWE), located on Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA. The experiment ran between 2008 and 2016, and consisted of three sites spread across an elevation gradient. Geospatial data for all three experimental sites and cone/seed collection locations are included in this package. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Geospatial files include cone collection, experimental site, seed trap, and other GPS location/terrain data. File types include ESRI shapefiles, ESRI grid files or Arc/Info binary grids, TIFFs (.tif), and keyhole markup language (.kml) files. Trimble-imported data include plain text files (.txt), Trimble COR (CorelDRAW) files, and Trimble SSF (Standard Storage Format) files. Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) and comma-separated values (.csv) files corresponding to the attribute tables of many files within this package are also included. A complete list of files can be found in this document in the “Data File Organization” section in the included Data User's Guide. Maps are also included in this data package for reference and use. These maps are separated into two categories, 2021 maps and legacy maps, which were made in 2010. Each 2021 map has one copy in portable network graphics (.png) format, and the other in .pdf format. All legacy maps are in .pdf format. .png image files can be opened with any compatible programs, such as Preview (Mac OS) and Photos (Windows). All GIS files were imported into geopackages (.gpkg) using QGIS, and double-checked for compatibility and data/attribute integrity using ESRI ArcGIS Pro. Note that files packaged within geopackages will open in ArcGIS Pro with “main.” preceding each file name, and an extra column named “geom” defining geometry type in the attribute table. The contents of each geospatial file remain intact, unless otherwise stated in “niwot_geospatial_data_list_07012021.pdf/.xlsx”. This list of files can be found as an .xlsx and a .pdf in this archive. As an open-source file format, files within gpkgs (TIFF, shapefiles, ESRI grid or “Arc/Info Binary”) can be read using both QGIS and ArcGIS Pro, and any other geospatial softwares. Text and .csv files can be read using TextEdit/Notepad/any simple text-editing software; .csv’s can also be opened using Microsoft Excel and R. .kml files can be opened using Google Maps or Google Earth, and Trimble files are most compatible with Trimble’s GPS Pathfinder Office software. .xlsx files can be opened using Microsoft Excel. PDFs can be opened using Adobe Acrobat Reader, and any other compatible programs. A selection of original shapefiles within this archive were generated using ArcMap with associated FGDC-standardized metadata (xml file format). We are including these original files because they contain metadata only accessible using ESRI programs at this time, and so that the relationship between shapefiles and xml files is maintained. Individual xml files can be opened (without a GIS-specific program) using TextEdit or Notepad. Since ESRI’s compatibility with FGDC metadata has changed since the generation of these files, many shapefiles will require upgrading to be compatible with ESRI’s latest versions of geospatial software. These details are also noted in the “niwot_geospatial_data_list_07012021” file.

The soil thickness maps were created by using a hybrid model-data approach. Field sampling and remote sensing data of the spatial distribution of two hillslopes in the Pump House area in the East River Watershed in the CO., the U.S. The data package includes the geospatial data of the soil thickness maps at two hillslopes near the pumphouse, and the associated remote sensing data, including lidar DEM and a shape file of the boundary of the study area. The data can be viewed in GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS desktop. The geospatial data can also be viewed in Python or Matlab. The data were generated for the purpose of modeling surface hydrology and near-surface chemistry. This work shows how to combine sampling data and a process-based model to predict one of the highest uncertainty in the land surface process, the soil thickness.

This dataset contains open vector data for railways, forests and power lines, as well an open digital elevation model (DEM) for a small area around a sample forest range in Europe (Germany, Upper Bavaria, Kochel Forest Range, some 70 km south of München, at the edge of Bavarian Alps). The purpose of this dataset is to provide a documented sample dataset in order to demonstrate geospatial preprocessing at FOSS4G2019 based on open data and software. This sample has been produced based on several existing open data sources (detailed below), therefore documenting the sources for obtaining some data needed for computations related to forest accessibility and wood harvesting. For example, they can be used with the open methodology and QGIS plugin Seilaplan for optimising the geometric layout cable roads or with additional open software for computing the forest accessibility for wood harvesting. The vector data (railways, forests and power lines) was extracted from OpenStreetMap (data copyrighted OpenStreetMap contributors and available from https://www.openstreetmap.org). The railways and forests were downloaded and extracted on 18.05.2019 using the open sources QGIS (https://www.qgis.org) with the QuickOSM plugin, while the power lines were downloaded a couple of days later on 23.05.2019. Additional notes for vector data: Please note that OpenStreeMap data extracts such as forests, roads and railways (except power lines) can also be downloaded in a GIS friendly format (Shapefile) from http://download.geofabrik.de/ or using the QGIS built-in download function for OpenStreetMap data. The most efficient way to retrieve specific OSM tags (such as power=line) is to use the QuickOSM plugin for QGIS (using the Overpass API - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API) or directly using overpass turbo (https://overpass-turbo.eu/). Finally, the digitised perimeter of the sample forest range is also made available for reproducibility purposes, although any perimeter or area can be digitised freely using the QGIS editing toolbar. The DEM was originally adapted and modified also with QGIS (https://www.qgis.org) based on the elevation data available from two different sources, by reprojecting and downsampling datasets to 25m then selecting, for each individual raster cell, the elevation value that was closer to the average. These two different elevation sources are: - Copernicus Land Monitoring Service - EU-DEM v.1.1 (TILE ID E40N20, downloaded from https://land.copernicus.eu/imagery-in-situ/eu-dem/eu-dem-v1.1; this original DEM was produced by the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service “with funding by the European Union” based on SRTM and ASTER GDEM) - Digitales Geländemodell 50 m Gitterweite (https://opendata.bayern.de/detailansicht/datensatz/digitales-gelaendemodell-50-m-gitterweite/), produced by the Bayerische Vermessungsverwaltung – www.geodaten.bayern.de –and downloaded from http://www.geodaten.bayern.de/opendata/DGM50/dgm50_epsg4258.tif This methodology was chosen as a way of performing a basic quality check, by comparing the EU-DEM v.1.1 derived from globally available DEM data (such as SRTM) with more authoritative data for the randomly selected region, since using authoritative data is preferred (if open and available). For other sample regions, where authoritative open data is not available, such comparisons cannot longer be performed. Additional notes DEM: a very good DEM open data source for Germany is the open data set collected and resampled by Sonny (sonnyy7@gmail.com) and made available on the Austrian Open Data Portal http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-germany. In order to simplify end-to-end reproducibility of the paper planned for FOSS4G2019, we use and distribute an adapted (reprojected and resampled to 25 meters) sample of the above mentioned dataset for the selected forest range. This sample dataset is accompanied by software in Python, as a Jupiter Notebook that generates harmonized output rasters with the same extent from the input data. The extent is given by the polygon vector dataset (Perimeter). These output rasters, such as obstacles, aspect, slope, forest cover, can serve as input data for later computations related to forest accessibility and wood harvesting questions. The obstacles output is obtained by transforming line vector datasets (railway lines, high voltage power lines) to raster. Aspect and slope are both derived from the sample digital elevation model.

Overview:

This repository contains the map-projected HiRISE Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and the map-projected HiRISE image for each DEM and for each site in the study. Also contained in the repository is a GeoPackage file (beds_2019_08_28_09_29.gpkg) that contains the dip corrected bed thickness measurements, longitude and latitude positions, and error information for each bed measured in the study. GeoPackage files supersede shapefiles as a standard geospatial data format and can be opened in a variety of open source tools including QGIS, and proprietary tools such as recent versions of ArcGIS. For more information about GeoPackage files, please use https://www.geopackage.org/ as a resource. A more detailed description of columns in the beds_2019_08_28_09_29.gpkg file is described below in a dedicated section. Table S1 from the supplementary is also included as an excel spreadsheet file (table_s1.xlsx).

HiRISE DEMs and Images:

Each HiRISE DEM, and corresponding map-projected image used in the study are included in this repository as GeoTiff files (ending with .tif). The file names correspond to the combination of the HiRISE Image IDs listed in Table 1 that were used to produce the DEM for the site, with the image with the smallest emission angle (most-nadir) listed first. Files ending with “_align_1-DEM-adj.tif” are the DEM files containing the 1 meter per pixel elevation values, and files ending with “_align_1-DRG.tif” are the corresponding map-projected HiRISE (left) image. Table 1 Image Pairs correspond to filenames in this repository in the following way: In Table 1, Sera Crater corresponds to HiRISE Image Pair: PSP_001902_1890/PSP_002047_1890, which corresponds to files: “PSP_001902_1890_PSP_002047_1890_align_1-DEM-adj.tif” for the DEM file and “PSP_001902_1890_PSP_002047_1890_align_1-DRG.tif” for the map-projected image file. Each site is listed below with the DEM and map-projected image filenames that correspond to the site as listed in Table 1. The DEM and Image files can be opened in a variety of open source tools including QGIS, and proprietary tools such as recent versions of ArcGIS.

The Science Case in the Caribbean region presents records on landslides, precipitation, maps used as inputs of hazard models and drone imagery over the region of interest.
For the Carribean study-case, an analysis of open and proprietary satellite based dataset was used to facilitate the setup and evaluation of physically-based multi-hazard models. These allow for qualification and quantification of spatio-temporal multi-hazard patterns. These form a crucial input into the general hazard and risk assessment workflow.

Presented here are the datasets employed for Case Study 4 in Deliverable D3.1 with a short description, produced and saved within the following folders:

Dominica_landslide: the landslides datasets mapped by ITC using high-resolution satellite imagery. It is intended to calibrate and validate the flood and landslide modelling. The folder contains four shapefiles:

· Landslide_Part.shp - Shapefile containing landslide extent, flash flood extents, and their attributes.

· Cloud.shp – Shapefile represents the cloud-filled areas in the satellite imagery where no mapping was possible.

· The other two shapefiles are self-explanatory.

GPM_Maria: NASA Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) precipitation maps processed for model input in LISEM. GPM is a hybrid fusion with satellite datasets for precipitation estimates. Mean as input data to represent precipitation in the landslide and flood modelling.

Maps_Models_Input : Soil and land use and channels, lots of custom work, SOILGRIDS, and SPOT image classification; all the datasets are ready for model input for OpenLISEM and LISEM Hazard or FastFlood. The dataset is meant to calibrate and validate the flood and landslide modelling.

The raster files are either in Geotiff format or PCraster map format. Both can be opened by GIS systems such as GDAL or QGIS. The projection of each file is in UTM20N.

Some key files are:

• dem.map -elevation model, the height of the landscape in meters above sea level.
• lai.map - leaf area index, estimated using empirical relationships based on NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)). The source data to calculate NDVI is Sentinel-2.
• KSat.map - Saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil, estimated based on a combination of SOILGRIDS soil texture, Saxton et al. (2006) Pedotransfer functions, and a national soil map for Dominica.
• clay.map - Clay texture fraction, SoilGrids resampling
• silt.map - Silt texture fraction, SoilGrids resampling
• sand.map - Sand texture fraction, SoilGrids resampling
• cover.map - Vegetation cover as a fraction, estimated using linear correlation with NDVI.
• lu_new.map - Spot satellite image classification at 10 meters resolution for predominant land use types.
• n.map - Mannings surface roughness coefficient, specific value based on the land use type.
• ndvi.map - Normalized Differential Vegetation Index, based on Sentinel-2 images in summer.
• ldd.map - Drainage network map for the island, which can be used for flow accumulation and streamflow detection
• catchments.map - Catchment ID's based on the ldd.map drainage network.
• Channelldd.map - Channel-only drainage network map, calibrated manually to have all channels on the island represented correctly.
• Soildepth - Soil depth in meters, based on a physically-based soil depth model in meters and observational data obtained from landslide-sites during fieldwork in 2018.
• Slope.map - Slope map in gradient of the elevation model (m/m) in the steepest direction

StakeholderQuestionnaire_Survey_ITC: The stakeholder questionnaires particularly relating to the tools developed partly by this project on rapid hazard modelling. Stakeholder Engagement survey and Stakeholder Survey Results prepared and implemented by Sruthie Rajendran as part of her MSc Thesis Twin Framework For Decision Support In Flood Risk Management supervised by Dr. M.N. Koeva (Mila) and Dr. B. van den Bout (Bastian) submitted in July 2024.

·Drone_Images_ 2024: Images captured using a DJI drone of part of the Study area in February 2024. The file comprises three different regions: Coulibistrie, Pichelin and Point Michel. The 3D models for Coulibistrie were generated from the nadir drone images using photogrammetric techniques employed by the software Pix4D. The image Coordinate System is WGS 84 (EGM 96 Geoid0), but the Output Coordinate System of the 3D model is WGS 84 / UTM zone 20N (EGM 96 Geoid). The other two folders contain only the drone images captured for that particular region's Pichelin and Point Michel. The dataset is used with other datasets to prepare and create the digital twin framework tailored for flood risk management in the study area.

The most efficient way to retrieve specific OSM tags (such as power=line) is to use the QuickOSM plugin for QGIS (using the Overpass API - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API) or directly using overpass turbo (https://overpass-turbo.eu/). Finally, the digitised perimeter of the sample forest range is also made available for reproducibility purposes, although any perimeter or area can be digitised freely using the QGIS editing toolbar. The DEM was originally adapted and modified also with QGIS (https://www.qgis.org) based on the elevation data available from two different sources, by reprojecting and downsampling datasets to 25m then selecting, for each individual raster cell, the elevation value that was closer to the average. These two different elevation sources are: - Copernicus Land Monitoring Service - EU-DEM v.1.1 (TILE ID E40N20, downloaded from https://land.copernicus.eu/imagery-in-situ/eu-dem/eu-dem-v1.1; this original DEM was produced by the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service “with funding by the European Union” based on SRTM and ASTER GDEM) - Digitales Geländemodell 50 m Gitterweite (https://opendata.bayern.de/detailansicht/datensatz/digitales-gelaendemodell-50-m-gitterweite/), produced by the Bayerische Vermessungsverwaltung – www.geodaten.bayern.de –and downloaded from http://www.geodaten.bayern.de/opendata/DGM50/dgm50_epsg4258.tif This methodology was chosen as a way of performing a basic quality check, by comparing the EU-DEM v.1.1 derived from globally available DEM data (such as SRTM) with more authoritative data for the randomly selected region, since using authoritative data is preferred (if open and available). For other sample regions, where authoritative open data is not available, such comparisons cannot longer be performed. Additional notes DEM: a very good DEM open data source for Germany is the open data set collected and resampled by Sonny (sonnyy7@gmail.com) and made available on the Austrian Open Data Portal http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-germany. In order to simplify end-to-end reproducibility of the paper planned for FOSS4G2019, we use and distribute an adapted (reprojected and resampled to 25 meters) sample of the above mentioned dataset for the selected forest range. This sample dataset is accompanied by software in Python, as a Jupiter Notebook that generates harmonized output rasters with the same extent from the input data. The extent is given by the polygon vector dataset (Perimeter). These output rasters, such as obstacles, aspect, slope, forest cover, can serve as input data for later computations related to forest accessibility and wood harvesting questions. The obstacles output is obtained by transforming line vector datasets (railway lines, high voltage power lines) to raster. Aspect and slope are both derived from the sample digital elevation model.

Data presented are a geospatially-aligned (NAD83) raster image with raster values as bare-earth elevation values (NAVD88) of mudflats, marsh, and levees around Whale's Tail Marsh, South San Francisco Bay (Hayward/Union City). Data presented are a subset of a larger LiDAR survey of the region contracted by the Alameda County Public Works Agency, trimmed to the region of study by Lukas WinklerPrins. While these data have been tested for accuracy and are properly functioning, Alameda County and the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy or correctness of the data. In addition, the use and/or reliance of the information by any other party shall be at their own risk., ADF files of the study area were merged into a continuous raster and clipped to the region of interest using QGIS software. Methods for data collection and creation as reported by the contractor are as follows: 1. Flightlines and data were reviewed to ensure complete coverage of the study area and positional accuracy of the laser points. 2. Laser point return coordinates were computed using POSPac MMS 8.3 and RiProcess 1.8.5 software based on independent data from the LiDAR system, IMU, and aircraft. 3. The raw LiDAR file was assembled into flightlines per return with each point having an associated x, y, and z coordinate. 4. Visual inspection of swath to swath laser point consistencies within the study area were used to perform manual refinements of system alignment. 5. Custom algorithms were designed to evaluate points between adjacent flightlines. Automated system alignment was computed based upon randomly selected swath to swath accuracy measurements that consider elevation, slope, ..., , # LiDAR-derived digital elevation model of Whale's Tail Marsh, San Francisco Bay, 2019

Data published are a geotiff (i.e. georeferenced raster data) of elevation values (in NAVD88 datum) of Whale's Tail Marsh in San Francisco Bay, with the surrounding mudflats, levees, ponds, and channels. These data were produced via LiDAR survey collected by the Alameda County Public Works Agency and were compiled and clipped to the region of interest by Lukas WinklerPrins, so as to contribute to a study of marsh-edge morphodynamics at the site. These data were set in context with other LiDAR surveys from 2004 and 2010, in addition to structure-from-motion derived digital surface models over a 2021-2022 study year, and generally used to identify retreat rates and heterogeneity of the marsh-mudflat interface.

Almost a quarter of the Greenlandic freshwater input into the oceans stems from watersheds disconnected from the Greenland Ice Sheet. As the Ice Sheet shrinks, the relative importance of watersheds with comparatively little glacier cover will increase (Abermann et al., 2021). The watershed of the river Røde Elv on Disko Island (70° N, 54° W; 96 km²) is one of these. The area is characterised by a unique volcanic genesis with basalts, geothermal springs, and a typical mountainous periglacial landscape. A geomorphological mapping campaign was carried out to characterise the drainage basin and to explain the discharge patterns of the Røde Elv. The resulting map is presented in this contribution.The stream orders and the extent of the watershed were calculated using the ArcticDEM (Digital Elevation Model) with a native spatial resolution of 2 m. A hydrologically corrected DEM with filled surface depressions was used to derive the accumulated flow using the Deterministic 8 method (O'Callaghan & Mark, 1984). The drainage river system was calculated based on the flow, resulting in six logarithmically scaled Horton-Strahler stream orders. The extent of the watershed was determined by identifying the area contributing to the discharge at the delta.The geomorphological character of the study area is represented by landcover units, which were identified and schematised regarding their hydrological characteristics based on field observations, literature, and background knowledge (Richter, 2024: Table 1). This resulted in a classification of 19 landform classes as polygons, and the line classes debris flow and solifluction terraces. The map digitisation was conducted based on local knowledge and photographs taken during a field visit in August 2023, as well as several freely available base maps for remote areas (Dataforsyningen, Bing Maps, and Google Maps). In addition, an old geomorphological map of the southern part of the watershed was used as a reference (Andersen et al., 1976). A detailed description of the digitisation process and an analysis of the spatial patterns of the landforms, can be found in Richter (2024).The map aims to provide an overview of the hydro-morphological structure and characteristics of the watershed. Both the valley sides and the valley floor are distinct geomorphological systems, reflecting the landscape heritage of the last glacial period. This is evident in the depositional processes at their transition, as indicated by the large active Holocene alluvial fans and talus deposits. Water infiltration is comparatively limited and highly variable on a small scale in the classes of rocks, talus deposits, unvegetated upper talus deposits, moraines, block glaciers and paraglaciation. This results in rapid and increasingly channelled surface runoff, controlled by the slope, slowing down only in depressions forming small lakes or when reaching the vegetated lower talus slopes. The latter are characterised by high water storage and evapotranspiration rates due to the soils and the high friction of the vegetation. Here, the drainage pathways are altered by features like landslides, patterned ground, or the flatter tops of the solifluction terraces, leading to higher infiltration rates. In the well-drained alluvial deposits and gravel, the infiltration rate is even higher. Finally, the largest water buffers are associated with the braided river system, lakes, and swamps which are characterised by a connection to the groundwater.Geomorphology is an important explanatory factor for the highly variable discharge patterns of the Røde Elv on a diurnal to interannual scale, as it determines water availability and the capacity of water storage reservoirs. These water buffers are influenced not only by the seasonal variation in meteorology, but also by the interplay of aspect, elevation, slope, and geomorphological process activity, which collectively determine the distribution of landform classes shown on the geomorphological map (Richter, 2024).

Aim: Effective management decisions depend on knowledge of species distribution and habitat use. Maps generated from species distribution models are important in predicting previously unknown occurrences of protected species. However, if populations are seasonally dynamic or locally adapted, failing to consider population level differences could lead to erroneous determinations of occurrence probability and ineffective management. The study goal was to model the distribution of a species of special concern, Townsend’s big-eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii), in California. We incorporate seasonal and spatial differences to estimate the distribution under current and future climate conditions. Methods: We built species distribution models using all records from statewide roost surveys and by subsetting data to seasonal colonies, representing different phenological stages, and to Environmental Protection Agency Level III Ecoregions to understand how environmental needs vary based on these factors. We projected species’ distribution for 2061-2080 in response to low and high emissions scenarios and calculated the expected range shifts. Results: The estimated distribution differed between the combined (full dataset) and phenologically-explicit models, while ecoregion-specific models were largely congruent with the combined model. Across the majority of models, precipitation was the most important variable predicting the presence of C. townsendii roosts. Under future climate scnearios, distribution of C. townsendii is expected to contract throughout the state, however suitable areas will expand within some ecoregions. Main conclusion: Comparison of phenologically-explicit models with combined models indicate the combined models better predict the extent of the known range of C. townsendii in California. However, life history-explicit models aid in understanding of different environmental needs and distribution of their major phenological stages. Differences between ecoregion-specific and statewide predictions of habitat contractions highlight the need to consider regional variation when forecasting species’ responses to climate change. These models can aid in directing seasonally explicit surveys and predicting regions most vulnerable under future climate conditions. Methods Study area and survey data The study area covers the U.S. state of California, which has steep environmental gradients that support an array of species (Dobrowski et al. 2011). Because California is ecologically diverse, with regions ranging from forested mountain ranges to deserts, we examined local environmental needs by modeling at both the state-wide and ecoregion scale, using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Level III ecoregion designations and there are thirteen Level III ecoregions in California (Table S1.1) (Griffith et al. 2016). Species occurrence data used in this study were from a statewide survey of C. townsendii in California conducted by Harris et al. (2019). Briefly, methods included field surveys from 2014-2017 following a modified bat survey protocol to create a stratified random sampling scheme. Corynorhinus townsendii presence at roost sites was based on visual bat sightings. From these survey efforts, we have visual occurrence data for 65 maternity roosts, 82 hibernation roosts (hibernacula), and 91 active-season non-maternity roosts (transition roosts) for a total of 238 occurrence records (Figure 1, Table S1.1). Ecogeographical factors We downloaded climatic variables from WorldClim 2.0 bioclimatic variables (Fick & Hijmans, 2017) at a resolution of 5 arcmin for broad-scale analysis and 30 arcsec for our ecoregion-specific analyses. To calculate elevation and slope, we used a digital elevation model (USGS 2022) in ArcGIS 10.8.1 (ESRI, 2006). The chosen set of environmental variables reflects knowledge on climatic conditions and habitat relevant to bat physiology, phenology, and life history (Rebelo et al. 2010, Razgour et al. 2011, Loeb and Winters 2013, Razgour 2015, Ancillotto et al. 2016). To trim the global environmental variables to the same extent (the state of California), we used the R package “raster” (Hijmans et al. 2022). We performed a correlation analysis on the raster layers using the “layerStats” function and removed variables with a Pearson’s coefficient > 0.7 (see Table 1 for final model variables). For future climate conditions, we selected three general circulation models (GCMs) based on previous species distribution models of temperate bat species (Razgour et al. 2019) [Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 2 Earth Systems model (HadGEM3-GC31_LL; Webb, 2019), Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace Coupled Model 6th Assessment Low Resolution (IPSL-CM6A-LR; Boucher et al., 2018), and Max Planck Institute for Meteorology Earth System Model Low Resolution (MPI-ESM1-2-LR; Brovkin et al., 2019)] and two contrasting greenhouse concentration trajectories (Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs): a steady decline pathway with CO2 concentrations of 360 ppmv (SSP1-2.6) and an increasing pathway with CO2 reaching around 2,000 ppmv (SSP5-8.5) (IPCC6). We modeled distribution for present conditions future (2061-2080) time periods. Because one aim of our study was to determine the consequences of changing climate, we changed only the climatic data when projecting future distributions, while keeping the other variables constant over time (elevation, slope). Species distribution modeling We generated distribution maps for total occurrences (maternity + hibernacula + transition, hereafter defined as “combined models”), maternity colonies , hibernacula, and transition roosts. To estimate the present and future habitat suitability for C. townsendii in California, we used the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) algorithm in the “dismo” R package (Hijmans et al. 2021) through the advanced computing resources provided by Texas A&M High Performance Research Computing. We chose MaxEnt to aid in the comparisons of state-wide and ecoregion-specific models as MaxEnt outperforms other approaches when using small datasets (as is the case in our ecoregion-specific models). We created 1,000 background points from random points in the environmental layers and performed a 5-fold cross validation approach, which divided the occurrence records into training (80%) and testing (20%) datasets. We assessed the performance of our models by measuring the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC; Hanley & McNeil, 1982), where values >0.5 indicate that the model is performing better than random, values 0.5-0.7 indicating poor performance, 0.7-0.9 moderate performance and values of 0.9-1 excellent performance (BCCVL, Hallgren et al., 2016). We also measured the maximum true skill statistic (TSS; Allouche, Tsoar, & Kadmon, 2006) to assess model performance. The maxTSS ranges from -1 to +1:values <0.4 indicate a model that performs no better than random, 0.4-0.55 indicates poor performance, (0.55-0.7) moderate performance, (0.7-0.85) good performance, and values >0.80 indicate excellent performance (Samadi et al. 2022). Final distribution maps were generated using all occurrence records for each region (rather than the training/testing subset), and the models were projected onto present and future climate conditions. Additionally, because the climatic conditions of the different ecoregions of California vary widely, we generated separate models for each ecoregion in an attempt to capture potential local effects of climate change. A general rule in species distribution modeling is that the occurrence points should be 10 times the number of predictors included in the model, meaning that we would need 50 occurrences in each ecoregion. One common way to overcome this limitation is through the ensemble of small models (ESMs) (Breiner et al. 2015., 2018; Virtanen et al. 2018; Scherrer et al. 2019; Song et al. 2019) included in ecospat R package (references). For our ESMs we implemented MaxEnt modeling, and the final ensemble model was created by averaging individual bivariate models by weighted performance (AUC > 0.5). We also used null model significance testing with to evaluate the performance of our ESMs (Raes and Ter Steege 2007). To perform null model testing we compared AUC scores from 100 null models using randomly generated presence locations equal to the number used in the developed distribution model. All ecoregion models outperformed the null expectation (p<0.002). Estimating range shifts For each of the three GCMs and each RCP scenario, we converted the probability distribution map into a binary map (0=unsuitable, 1=suitable) using the threshold that maximizes sensitivity and specificity (Liu et al. 2016). To create the final maps for each SSP scenario, we summed the three binary GCM layers and took a consensus approach, meaning climatically suitable areas were pixels where at least two of the three models predicted species presence (Araújo and New 2007, Piccioli Cappelli et al. 2021). We combined the future binary maps (fmap) and the present binary maps (pmap) following the formula fmap x 2 + pmap (from Huang et al., 2017) to produce maps with values of 0 (areas not suitable), 1 (areas that are suitable in the present but not the future), 2 (areas that are not suitable in the present but suitable in the future), and 3 (areas currently suitable that will remain suitable) using the raster calculator function in QGIS. We then calculated the total area of suitability, area of maintenance, area of expansion, and area of contraction for each binary model using the “BIOMOD_RangeSize” function in R package “biomod2” (Thuiller et al. 2021).

Accurate coastal wave and hydrodynamic modelling relies on quality bathymetric input. Many national scale modelling studies, hindcast and forecast products, have, or are currently using a 2009 digital elevation model (DEM), which does not include recently available bathymetric surveys and is now out of date. There are immediate needs for an updated national product, preceding the delivery of the AusSeabed program’s Global Multi-Resolution Topography for Australian coastal and ocean models. There are also challenges in stitching coarse resolution DEMs, which are often too shallow where they meet high-resolution information (e.g. LiDAR surveys) and require supervised/manual modifications (e.g. NSW, Perth, and Portland VIC bathymetries). This report updates the 2009 topography and bathymetry with a selection of nearshore surveys and demonstrates where the 2009 dataset and nearshore bathymetries do not matchup. Lineage: All of the datasets listed in Table 1 (see supporting files) were used in previous CSIRO internal projects or download from online data portals and processed using QGIS and R’s ‘raster’ package. The Perth LiDAR surveys were provided as points and gridded in R using raster::rasterFromXYZ(). The Macquarie Harbour contour lines were regridded in QGIS using the TIN interpolator. Each dataset was mapped with an accompanying Type Identifier (TID) following the conventions of the GEBCO dataset. The mapping went through several iterations, at each iteration the blending was checked for inconstancy, i.e., where the GA250m DEM was too shallow when it met the high-resolution LiDAR surveys. QGIS v3.16.4 was used to draw masks over inconstant blending and GA250 values falling within the mask and between two depths were assigned NA (no-data). LiDAR datasets were projected to +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs using raster::projectRaster(), resampled to the GA250 grid using raster::resample() and then merged with raster::merge(). Nearest neighbour resampling was performed for all datasets except for GEBCO ~500m product, which used the bilinear method. The order of the mapping overlay is sequential from TID = 1 being the base, through to 107, where 0 is the gap filled values.

Following Wheatley's (1996) viewshed analysis of real and simulated long barrows in two regions of Wiltshire, this study aimed to replicate the analysis (investigating regional variation in barrow viewsheds) with the additional factor of elevation included to limit the random generation of long barrows to elevations where they have been observed, to avoid potential skewing of viewshed areas.

This dataset contains 20x20km squares surrouding Avebury and Stonehenge which match Wheatley's demarcated 'subregions;' as well as polygons matching the elevation ranges within which long barrows were found in each subregion; random points generated in these subregions; the calculated viewshed areas for real and simulated barrow points, and a complete dataset for long barrows recorded on the Wiltshire HER, both certain and potential. To carry out a viewshed analysis with this data, a DTM is also required.
