The Digital Bedrock Geologic-GIS Map of Minuteman National Historical Site and Vicinity, Massachusetts 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 (mima_bedrock_geology.gdb), a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage, and 3.) 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer), as well as with a 2.) 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (mima_bedrock_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer). The OGC geopackage is supported with a QGIS project (.qgz) file. 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.) this file (mima_geology.gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (mima_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 (mima_bedrock_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the mima_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. Google Earth software is available for free at: http://www.google.com/earth/index.html. QGIS software is available for free at: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/. Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization, and to use the GIS data for any type of data analysis or investigation. 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).

Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Boston College and U.S. Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (mima_bedrock_geology_metadata.txt or mima_bedrock_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 25.4 meters or 83.3 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).

Hi, I'm Patrick,I initially pursued an undergraduate degree in Computer Science because I wanted to make video games; however, after taking an Environmental Science course, I wanted to see if there was a way I could study both. This led me to GIS and I made that my specialism, doing a Masters and later PhD on the subject.

The shared archived combined in Supplementary Datasets represent the actual databases used in the investigation considered in two papers:

Meteorological conditions affecting black vulture (Coragyps atratus) soaring behavior in the southeast of Brazil: Implications for bird strike abatement (in submission)

Remote sensing applications for abating the aircraft-bird strike risks in the southeast of Brazil (Human-Wildlife Interactions Journal, in print)

The papers were based on my Master’s thesis defended in 2016 in the Institute of Biology of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Ecology. Our investigation was devoted to reducing the risk of aircraft collision with Black vultures. It had two parts considered in these two papers. In the first one we studied the relationship between soaring activity of Black vultures and meteorological characteristics. In the second one we explored the dependence of soaring activity of vultures on superficial and anthropogenic characteristics. The study was implemented within surroundings of two airports in the southeast of Brazil taken as case studies. We developed the methodological approaches combining application of GIS and remote sensing technologies for data processing, which were used as the main research instrument. By dint of them we joined in the georeferenced databases (shapefiles) the data of bird's observation and three types of environmental factors: (i) meteorological characteristics collected together with the bird’s observation, (ii) superficial parameters (relief and surface temperature) obtained from the products of ASTER imagery; (iii) parameters of surface covering and anthropogenic pressure obtained from the satellite images of high resolution. Based on the analyses of the georeferenced databases, the relationship between soaring activity of vultures and environmental factors was studied; the behavioral patterns of vultures in soaring flight were revealed; the landscape types highly attractive for this species and forming the increased concentration of birds over them were detected; the maps giving a numerical estimation of hazard of bird strike events over the airport vicinities were constructed; the practical recommendations devoted to decrease the risk of collisions with vultures and other bird species were formulated.

This archive contains all materials elaborated and used for the study, including the GIS database for two papers, remote sensing data, and Microsoft Excel datasets. You can find the description of supplementary files in the Description of Supplementary Dataset.docx. The links on supplementary files and their attribution to the text of papers are considered in the Attribution to the text of papers.docx. The supplementary files are in the folders Datasets, GIS_others, GIS_Raster, GIS_Shape.

Abstract:  This dataset 'approximately' represents the location of the SMP 200 foot shoreline environments of the Puyallup River and Clarks Creek within the City of Puyallup and its urban growth area.Purpose: This feature class is to be used to 'approximately' locate the 200 foot shoreline environment from the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of the Puyallup River and Clarks Creek. The shoreline environments were created using the Clarks Creek centerline shapefile and Puyallup River polygon shapefile. Because this map was created using the afore mentioned sources (as apposed to the OHWM as required by the SMP), the shoreline evnironments shown here will extend further upland than depicted. As such these shoreline environments should be used as a reference only. Reports and field work conducted by qualified professional biologists are required to determine the true location of the OHWM/200 foot shoreline environment for any property along these waterways. NOTE: The puy_river.shp is a polygon shapefile which extends close to the shoreline but does not mark the OHWM of the river. The clarks_creek_cntr_ln.shp is a line feature class that does not come close to the shoreline of Clarks Creek. The shoreline, not the OHWM, can be anywhere from 20-30 feet on either side of the center line. For these reasons it is imperative to have a biologist establish the OHWM for Clarks Creek and the Puyallup River. Only then can the 200 foot shoreline environment be determined.

These data, which comprise part of the Smithsonian Institution Master Sediment data file, were abstracted by the staff of the Smithsonian Institution from materials submitted for archival by various groups and individuals. Most of the data in this set were collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS, formerly the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey) for the purpose of charting the coastal waters and navigable waterways of the United States. Prior to 1985, the NOS data were released as part of the National Ocean Surveys Hydrographic Database. After 1985, sediment samples collected by NOS during surveys were transferred to the Smithsonian for archival and textural analysis. All of the data in this set were collected post 1985 and have been processed by the Smithsonian. These data were supplied by the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), but this data set contains fields that are only a subset of those fields available in the full Smithsonian data set. For example, the data have been clipped to eliminate those stations that were not from the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, or the shelf and slope off southeastern New England. Last update of this file was July, 2001.
