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.
This folder contains .gpkg format files for book layover and waypoint places, and auto, boat and train routes that can be loaded into GIS applications such as ArcGIS and QGIS.
Overview:This document describes the 2021 accessibility data released by the Accessibility Observatory at the University of Minnesota. The data are included in the National Accessibility Evaluation Project for 2021, and this information can be accessed for each state in the U.S. at https://access.umn.edu/research/america. The following sections describe the format, naming, and content of the data files.Data Formats: The data files are provided in a Geopackage format. Geopackage (.gpkg) files are an open-source, geospatial filetype that can contain multiple layers of data in a single file, and can be opened with most GIS software, including both ArcGIS and QGIS.Within this zipfile, there are six geopackage files (.gpkg) structured as follows.

We provide the entire dataset of the paper "Dataset of seismic ambient vibrations from the Quaternary Norcia basin (central Italy)" submitted to "Data in Brief" journal, including geophysical and geospatial data.
The dataset was used and analysed in the article:
Di Giulio, G., Ercoli, M., Vassallo, M., Porreca, M. (2020). Investigation of the Norcia basin (Central Italy) through ambient vibration measurements and geological surveys, Engineering Geology, 267, 105501, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enggeo.2020.105501
The geophysical dataset was collected in the Norcia basin in Central Italy, area struck by a long earthquake sequence during the 2016-2017, including five main-shocks with Mw>5.0.
The Mw 6.5 mainshock occurred on 30 October 2016 close to the town of Norcia. Different degrees of damages were observed during this seismic crisis, with a variable seismic shaking controlled, among many factors, by important 1D and 2D variation of Quaternary fluvio-lacustrine sediments infilling the basin.
Following this seismic sequence, we registered seismic vibration measurements, mainly single-seismic station noise data. We aimed to determine the distribution of resonant frequency (f0) of the basin and, though a join analysis with the available geological information, to infer the subsurface basin architecture.
A total of 60 sites were measured to cover the entire extension in the basin. We deployed seismometers along three transects of a total length of 21 km, mostly along the main structural directions of the basin (i.e. NNW-SSE and NE-SW).
Two 2D arrays of seismic stations with a elicoidal-shaped geometry, and a set of MASW active data were also acquired in the northern sector of the basin, in order to better constrain the seismic velocity of the sedimentary infilling.
In comparison to the data used in the paper Di Giulio et al. (2020), seven additional records have been here recovered across the basin (i.e. N54-N60).
We also provide geospatial ancillary data, both as a complete open-source Geographical Information Systems (GIS) project and as a set of single GeoPackage (.gpkg) and Keyhole Markup Language (.kml) files.
The dataset can be used for different purposes: specific researches on the Norcia basin, comparative studies on similar areas around the world, development of new data modeling/analysis software.

Dataset for: Regional Correlations in the layered deposits of Arabia Terra, Mars
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.

Data Product Overview
This repository contains all source data for the publication. Below is a description of each general data product type, software that can load the data, and a list of the file names along with the short description of the data product.
HiRISE Digital Elevation Models (DEMs).
HiRISE DEMs produced using the Ames Stereo Pipeline are in geotiff format ending with ‘*X_0_DEM-adj.tif’, the “X” prefix denotes the spatial resolution of the data product in meters. Geotiff files are able to be read by free GIS software like QGIS.
HiRISE map-projected imagery (DRGs).
Map-projected HiRISE images produced using the Ames Stereo Pipeline are in geotiff format ending with ‘*0_Y_DRG-cog.tif’, the “Y” prefix denotes the spatial resolution of the data product in centimeters. Geotiff files are able to be read by free GIS software like QGIS. The DRG files are formatted as COG-geotiffs for enhanced compression and ease of use.
3D Topography files (.ply).
Traingular Mesh versions of the HiRISE/CTX topography data used for 3D figures in “.ply” format. Meshes are greatly geometrically simplified from source files. Topography files can be loaded in a variety of open source tools like ParaView and Meshlab. Textures can be applied using embedded texture coordinates.
3D Geological Model outputs (.vtk)
VTK 3D file format files of model output over the spatial domain of each study site. VTK files can be loaded by ParaView open source software. The “block” files contain the model evaluation over a regular grid over the model extent. The “surfaces” files contain just the bedding surfaces as interpolated from the “block” files using the marching cubes algorithm.
Geological Model geologic maps (geologic_map.tif).
Geologic maps from geological models are standard geotiffs readable by conventional GIS software. The maximum value for each geologic map is the “no-data” value for the map. Geologic maps are calculated at a lower resolution than the topography data for storage efficiency.
Beds Geopackage File (.gpkg).
Geopackage vector data file containing all mapped layers and associated metadata including dip corrected bed thickness as well as WKB encoded 3D linestrings representing the sampled topography data to which the bedding orientations were fit. Geopackage files can be read using GIS software like QGIS and ArcGIS as well as the OGR/GDAL suite. A full description of each column in the file is provided below.

QDGC tables delivered in geopackage file
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
QDGC represents a way of making (almost) equal area squares covering a specific area to represent specific qualities of the area covered. The squares themselves are based on the degree squares covering earth. Around the equator we have 360 longitudinal lines , and from the north to the south pole we have 180 latitudinal lines. Together this gives us 64800 segments or tiles covering earth.
Within each geopackage file you will find a number of tables with these names:
-tbl_qdgc_01
-tbl_qdgc_02
-tbl_qdgc_03
-tbl_qdgc_04
-tbl_qdgc_05
-etc
The attributes for each table are:
qdgc Unique Quarter Degree Grid Cell reference string
area_reference Country
level_qdgc QDGC level
cellsize degrees decimal degree for the longitudal and latitudal length of the cell
lon_center Longitude center of the cell
lat_center Latitudal center of the cell
area_km2 Calculated area for the cell

The Digital Geologic-GIS Map of the Mammoth Cave Quadrangle, Kentucky is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data formats: 1.) a 10.1 file geodatabase (macv_geology.gdb), and a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file (macv_geology.mapx) and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer), as well as with a 2.) 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (macv_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer). Upon request, the GIS data is also available in ESRI 10.1 shapefile format. Contact Stephanie O'Meara (see contact information below) to acquire the GIS data in these GIS data formats. In addition to the GIS data and supporting GIS files, three additional files comprise a GRI digital geologic-GIS dataset or map: 1.) a readme file (maca_abli_geology_gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (maca_abli_geology.pdf) which contains geologic unit descriptions, as well as other ancillary map information and graphics from the source map(s) used by the GRI in the production of the GRI digital geologic-GIS data for the park, and 3.) a user-friendly FAQ PDF version of the metadata (macv_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the maca_abli_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. QGIS software is available for free at: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD).

Overview:This document describes the 2021 accessibility data released by the Accessibility Observatory at the University of Minnesota. The data are included in the National Accessibility Evaluation Project for 2021, and this information can be accessed for each state in the U.S. at https://access.umn.edu/research/america. The following sections describe the format, naming, and content of the data files.Data Formats: The data files are provided in a Geopackage format. Geopackage (.gpkg) files are an open-source, geospatial filetype that can contain multiple layers of data in a single file, and can be opened with most GIS software, including both ArcGIS and QGIS.Within this zipfile, there are six geopackage files (.gpkg) structured as follows. Each of them contains the blocks shapes layer, results at the block level for all LEHD variables (jobs and workers), with a layer of results for each travel time (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 minutes). {MPO ID}_tr_2021_0700-0859-avg.gpkg = Average Transit Access Departing Every Minute 7am-9am{MPO ID}_au_2021_08.gpkg = Average Auto Access Departing 8am{MPO ID}_bi_2021_1200_lts1.gpkg = Average Bike Access on LTS1 Network{MPO ID}_bi_2021_1200_lts2.gpkg = Average Bike Access on LTS2 Network{MPO ID}_bi_2021_1200_lts3.gpkg = Average Bike Access on LTS3 Network{MPO ID}_bi_2021_1200_lts4.gpkg = Average Bike Access on LTS4 NetworkFor mapping and geospatial analysis, the blocks shape layer within each geopackage can be joined to the blockid of the access attribute data. Opening and Using Geopackages in ArcGIS:Unzip the zip archiveUse the "Add Data" function in Arc to select the .gpkg fileSelect which layer(s) are needed — always select "main.blocks" as this layer contains the Census block shapes; select any other attribute data layers as well.There are three types of layers in the geopackage file — the "main.blocks" layer is the spatial features layer, and all other layers are either numerical attribute data tables, or the "fieldname_descriptions" metadata layer. The numerical attribute layers are named with the following format:[mode]_[threshold]_minutes[mode] is a two-character code indicating the transport mode used[threshold] is an integer indicating the travel time threshold used for this data layerTo use the data spatially, perform a join between the "main.blocks" layer and the desired numerical data layer, using either the numerical "id" fields, or 15-digit "blockid" fields as join fields.

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.
