USHAP (USHighAirPollutants) is one of the series of long-term, full-coverage, high-resolution, and high-quality datasets of ground-level air pollutants for the United States. It is generated from the big data (e.g., ground-based measurements, satellite remote sensing products, atmospheric reanalysis, and model simulations) using artificial intelligence by considering the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of air pollution.

This is the big data-derived seamless (spatial coverage = 100%) daily, monthly, and yearly 1 km (i.e., D1K, M1K, and Y1K) ground-level Black Carbon (BC) dataset in the United States from 2000 to 2020. Our daily BC estimates agree well with ground measurements with an average cross-validation coefficient of determination (CV-R2) of 0.80 and normalized root-mean-square error (NRMSE) of 0.60, respectively.

All the data will be made public online once our paper is accepted, and if you want to use the USHighBC dataset for related scientific research, please contact us (Email: weijing_rs@163.com; weijing@umd.edu).

Our dataset provides detailed and precise insights into the business, commercial, and industrial aspects of any given area in the USA (Including Point of Interest (POI) Data and Foot Traffic. The dataset is divided into 150x150 sqm areas (geohash 7) and has over 50 variables. - Use it for different applications: Our combined dataset, which includes POI and foot traffic data, can be employed for various purposes. Different data teams use it to guide retailers and FMCG brands in site selection, fuel marketing intelligence, analyze trade areas, and assess company risk. Our dataset has also proven to be useful for real estate investment.- Get reliable data: Our datasets have been processed, enriched, and tested so your data team can use them more quickly and accurately.- Ideal for trainning ML models. The high quality of our geographic information layers results from more than seven years of work dedicated to the deep understanding and modeling of geospatial Big Data. Among the features that distinguished this dataset is the use of anonymized and user-compliant mobile device GPS location, enriched with other alternative and public data.- Easy to use: Our dataset is user-friendly and can be easily integrated to your current models. Also, we can deliver your data in different formats, like .csv, according to your analysis requirements. - Get personalized guidance: In addition to providing reliable datasets, we advise your analysts on their correct implementation.Our data scientists can guide your internal team on the optimal algorithms and models to get the most out of the information we provide (without compromising the security of your internal data).Answer questions like: - What places does my target user visit in a particular area? Which are the best areas to place a new POS?- What is the average yearly income of users in a particular area?- What is the influx of visits that my competition receives?- What is the volume of traffic surrounding my current POS?This dataset is useful for getting insights from industries like:- Retail & FMCG- Banking, Finance, and Investment- Car Dealerships- Real Estate- Convenience Stores- Pharma and medical laboratories- Restaurant chains and franchises- Clothing chains and franchisesOur dataset includes more than 50 variables, such as:- Number of pedestrians seen in the area.- Number of vehicles seen in the area.- Average speed of movement of the vehicles seen in the area.- Point of Interest (POIs) (in number and type) seen in the area (supermarkets, pharmacies, recreational locations, restaurants, offices, hotels, parking lots, wholesalers, financial services, pet services, shopping malls, among others). - Average yearly income range (anonymized and aggregated) of the devices seen in the area.Notes to better understand this dataset:- POI confidence means the average confidence of POIs in the area. In this case, POIs are any kind of location, such as a restaurant, a hotel, or a library. - Category confidences, for example"food_drinks_tobacco_retail_confidence" indicates how confident we are in the existence of food/drink/tobacco retail locations in the area. - We added predictions for The Home Depot and Lowe's Home Improvement stores in the dataset sample. These predictions were the result of a machine-learning model that was trained with the data. Knowing where the current stores are, we can find the most similar areas for new stores to open.How efficient is a Geohash?Geohash is a faster, cost-effective geofencing option that reduces input data load and provides actionable information. Its benefits include faster querying, reduced cost, minimal configuration, and ease of use.Geohash ranges from 1 to 12 characters. The dataset can be split into variable-size geohashes, with the default being geohash7 (150m x 150m).

The purpose of this data package is to offer demographic data for U.S. cities. The data sources are multiple, the most important one being the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey. In this case, the data was organized by the Big Cities Health Coalition (BCHC). Others are the New York City Department of City Planning and Department of Parks and Recreation, data being available through the NYC Open Data.

The Bing Maps team at Microsoft released a U.S.-wide vector building dataset in 2018, which includes over 125 million building footprints for all 50 states in GeoJSON format. This dataset is extracted from aerial images using deep learning object classification methods. Large-extent modelling (e.g., urban morphological analysis or ecosystem assessment models) or accuracy assessment with vector layers is highly challenging in practice. Although vector layers provide accurate geometries, their use in large-extent geospatial analysis comes at a high computational cost. We used High Performance Computing (HPC) to develop an algorithm that calculates six summary values for each cell in a raster representation of each U.S. state: (1) total footprint coverage, (2) number of unique buildings intersecting each cell, (3) number of building centroids falling inside each cell, and area of the (4) average, (5) smallest, and (6) largest area of buildings that intersect each cell. These values are represented as raster layers with 30m cell size covering the 48 conterminous states, to better support incorporation of building footprint data into large-extent modelling. This Project is funded by NASA’s Biological Diversity and Ecological Forcasting program; Award # 80NSSC18k0341

The total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is forecast to increase rapidly, reaching 149 zettabytes in 2024. Over the next five years up to 2028, global data creation is projected to grow to more than 394 zettabytes. In 2020, the amount of data created and replicated reached a new high. The growth was higher than previously expected, caused by the increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as more people worked and learned from home and used home entertainment options more often. Storage capacity also growing Only a small percentage of this newly created data is kept though, as just two percent of the data produced and consumed in 2020 was saved and retained into 2021. In line with the strong growth of the data volume, the installed base of storage capacity is forecast to increase, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 19.2 percent over the forecast period from 2020 to 2025. In 2020, the installed base of storage capacity reached 6.7 zettabytes.

Roads and highways are a prominent part of modern transportation systems. Roads impact the quality of our environment in both positive and negative ways. Roads represent proximity to human activity on the landscape, the farther away a place is from roads, the lower the likelihood that it is disturbed by human activity. Roads may act as a barrier to wildlife migration and are also vectors for the movement of invasive species. Roads also open up recreational opportunities to people and provide access for management and commerce.Dataset SummaryThis layer provides access to a 1 km resolution raster of road density calculated as kilometer of road per 1 km raster cell. The raster was created from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2014 TIGER database using data for roads, highways, bike trails, and foot paths.

This dataset is called the Gridded SSURGO (gSSURGO) Database and is derived from the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database. SSURGO is generally the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) in accordance with NCSS mapping standards. The tabular data represent the soil attributes, and are derived from properties and characteristics stored in the National Soil Information System (NASIS). The gSSURGO data were prepared by merging traditional SSURGO digital vector map and tabular data into a Conterminous US-wide extent, and adding a Conterminous US-wide gridded map layer derived from the vector, plus a new value added look up (valu) table containing "ready to map" attributes. The gridded map layer is offered in an ArcGIS file geodatabase raster format. The raster and vector map data have a Conterminous US-wide extent. The raster map data have a 30 meter cell size. Each cell (and polygon) is linked to a map unit identifier called the map unit key. A unique map unit key is used to link to raster cells and polygons to attribute tables, including the new value added look up (valu) table that contains additional derived data. The value added look up (valu) table contains attribute data summarized to the map unit level using best practice generalization methods intended to meet the needs of most users. The generalization methods include map unit component weighted averages and percent of the map unit meeting a given criteria. The Gridded SSURGO dataset was created for use in national, regional, and state-wide resource planning and analysis of soils data. The raster map layer data can be readily combined with other national, regional, and local raster layers, e.g., National Land Cover Database (NLCD), the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Crop Data Layer, or the National Elevation Dataset (NED).

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Big Stone township population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Big Stone township across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2022, the population of Big Stone township was 291, a 0.00% decrease year-by-year from 2021. Previously, in 2021, Big Stone township population was 291, a decline of 0.34% compared to a population of 292 in 2020. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2022, population of Big Stone township increased by 38. In this period, the peak population was 292 in the year 2020. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

This dataset combines the work of several different projects to create a seamless data set for the contiguous United States. Data from four regional Gap Analysis Projects and the LANDFIRE project were combined to make this dataset. In the northwestern United States (Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and Wyoming) data in this map came from the Northwest Gap Analysis Project. In the southwestern United States (Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah) data used in this map came from the Southwest Gap Analysis Project. The data for Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia came from the Southeast Gap Analysis Project and the California data was generated by the updated California Gap land cover project. The Hawaii Gap Analysis project provided the data for Hawaii. In areas of the county (central U.S., Northeast, Alaska) that have not yet been covered by a regional Gap Analysis Project, data from the Landfire project was used. Similarities in the methods used by these projects made possible the combining of the data they derived into one seamless coverage. They all used multi-season satellite imagery (Landsat ETM+) from 1999-2001 in conjunction with digital elevation model (DEM) derived datasets (e.g. elevation, landform) to model natural and semi-natural vegetation. Vegetation classes were drawn from NatureServe's Ecological System Classification (Comer et al. 2003) or classes developed by the Hawaii Gap project. Additionally, all of the projects included land use classes that were employed to describe areas where natural vegetation has been altered. In many areas of the country these classes were derived from the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD). For the majority of classes and, in most areas of the country, a decision tree classifier was used to discriminate ecological system types. In some areas of the country, more manual techniques were used to discriminate small patch systems and systems not distinguishable through topography. The data contains multiple levels of thematic detail. At the most detailed level natural vegetation is represented by NatureServe's Ecological System classification (or in Hawaii the Hawaii GAP classification). These most detailed classifications have been crosswalked to the five highest levels of the National Vegetation Classification (NVC), Class, Subclass, Formation, Division and Macrogroup. This crosswalk allows users to display and analyze the data at different levels of thematic resolution. Developed areas, or areas dominated by introduced species, timber harvest, or water are represented by other classes, collectively refered to as land use classes; these land use classes occur at each of the thematic levels. Raster data in both ArcGIS Grid and ERDAS Imagine format is available for download at http://gis1.usgs.gov/csas/gap/viewer/land_cover/Map.aspx Six layer files are included in the download packages to assist the user in displaying the data at each of the Thematic levels in ArcGIS.

Area burned is an important variable for measuring wildfire activity. In the western United States (US), the timing and magnitude of area burned can be associated with meteorological and human activity to find the drivers of wildfire activity, but this type of research is dependent on the spatial and temporal resolution of available wildfire datasets. The Western US MTBS-Interagency (WUMI2) database is a dataset of wildfire events in the western United States (US) larger than 1 km2 for 1984 to 2020. WUMI2 includes the important Monitoring Trends in Burned Severity (MTBS) project (Eidenshink et al., 2007)—a Landsat satellite-based dataset of large fires (>4.04 km2)—and adds small (>1 to 4.04 km2) and large fires from government agency databases, including from the Fire Program Analysis (FPA) fire-occurrence database (Short et al., 2022). We performed extensive quality control to merge the datasets together and remove errors. The result is a western US-wide dataset with accurate fir..., Version WUMI2 Updated August 1, 2024: Our WUMI2 fire database consists of 21,693 western US fire events from 1984 through 2020. A text file (west_US_fires_1984-2020_WUMI2.txt) provides a list of each fire event, including the fire’s name, discovery date, point location, total area burned, and forested area burned (see the corresponding readme.txt file for column labels). We also include NetCDF files of the 1-km map of forest fractional coverage (forest_type_frac.nc) and the 1-km maps of monthly burned area over 1984–2020 (burnarea_1984-2020_WUMI2.nc). Fires included in this database are from the Monitoring Trends in Burned Severity Product (MTBS) (Eidenshink et al., 2007), the Fire Program Analysis fire-occurrence database (FPA FOD 6th edition) of interagency fires (Short, 2022), and interagency fires from local databases (CalFire, ST/C&L, TRIBE), and interagency fires from government agency databases (BIA, BLM, BOR, DOD, DOE, NPS, FWS, FS, NPS).
