GIS2DJI is a Python 3 program created to exports GIS files to a simple kml compatible with DJI pilot. The software is provided with a GUI. GIS2DJI has been tested with the following file formats: gpkg, shp, mif, tab, geojson, gml, kml and kmz. GIS_2_DJI will scan every file, every layer and every geometry collection (ie: MultiPoints) and create one output kml or kmz for each object found. It will import points, lines and polygons, and converted each object into a compatible DJI kml file. Lines and polygons will be exported as kml files. Points will be converted as PseudoPoints.kml. A PseudoPoints fools DJI to import a point as it thinks it's a line with 0 length. This allows you to import points in mapping missions. Points will also be exported as Point.kmz because PseudoPoints are not visible in a GIS or in Google Earth. The .kmz file format should make points compatible with some DJI mission software.

Introduction

Geographical scale, in terms of spatial extent, provide a basis for other branches of science. This dataset contains newly proposed geographical and geological GIS boundaries for the Pan-Tibetan Highlands (new proposed name for the High Mountain Asia), based on geological and geomorphological features. This region comprises the Tibetan Plateau and three adjacent mountain regions: the Himalaya, Hengduan Mountains and Mountains of Central Asia, and boundaries are also given for each subregion individually. The dataset will benefit quantitative spatial analysis by providing a well-defined geographical scale for other branches of research, aiding cross-disciplinary comparisons and synthesis, as well as reproducibility of research results.

The dataset comprises three subsets, and we provide three data formats (.shp, .geojson and .kmz) for each of them. Shapefile format (.shp) was generated in ArcGIS Pro, and the other two were converted from shapefile, the conversion steps refer to 'Data processing' section below. The following is a description of the three subsets:

(1) The GIS boundaries we newly defined of the Pan-Tibetan Highlands and its four constituent sub-regions, i.e. the Tibetan Plateau, Himalaya, Hengduan Mountains and the Mountains of Central Asia. All files are placed in the "Pan-Tibetan Highlands (Liu et al._2022)" folder.

(2) We also provide GIS boundaries that were applied by other studies (cited in Fig. 3 of our work) in the folder "Tibetan Plateau and adjacent mountains (Others’ definitions)". If these data is used, please cite the relevent paper accrodingly. In addition, it is worthy to note that the GIS boundaries of Hengduan Mountains (Li et al. 1987a) and Mountains of Central Asia (Foggin et al. 2021) were newly generated in our study using Georeferencing toolbox in ArcGIS Pro.

(3) Geological assemblages and characters of the Pan-Tibetan Highlands, including Cratons and micro-continental blocks (Fig. S1), plus sutures, faults and thrusts (Fig. 4), are placed in the "Pan-Tibetan Highlands (geological files)" folder.

Note: High Mountain Asia: The name ‘High Mountain Asia’ is the only direct synonym of Pan-Tibetan Highlands, but this term is both grammatically awkward and somewhat misleading, and hence the term ‘Pan-Tibetan Highlands’ is here proposed to replace it. Third Pole: The first use of the term ‘Third Pole’ was in reference to the Himalaya by Kurz & Montandon (1933), but the usage was subsequently broadened to the Tibetan Plateau or the whole of the Pan-Tibetan Highlands. The mainstream scientific literature refer the ‘Third Pole’ to the region encompassing the Tibetan Plateau, Himalaya, Hengduan Mountains, Karakoram, Hindu Kush and Pamir. This definition was surpported by geological strcture (Main Pamir Thrust) in the western part, and generally overlaps with the ‘Tibetan Plateau’ sensu lato defined by some previous studies, but is more specific.

More discussion and reference about names please refer to the paper. The figures (Figs. 3, 4, S1) mentioned above were attached in the end of this document.

Data processing

We provide three data formats. Conversion of shapefile data to kmz format was done in ArcGIS Pro. We used the Layer to KML tool in Conversion Toolbox to convert the shapefile to kmz format. Conversion of shapefile data to geojson format was done in R. We read the data using the shapefile function of the raster package, and wrote it as a geojson file using the geojson_write function in the geojsonio package.

The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The primary legal divisions of most States are termed counties. In Louisiana, these divisions are known as parishes. In Alaska, which has no counties, the equivalent entities are the organized boroughs, city and boroughs, and municipalities, and for the unorganized area, census areas. The latter are delineated cooperatively for statistical purposes by the State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. In four States (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one or more incorporated places that are independent of any county organization and thus constitute primary divisions of their States. These incorporated places are known as independent cities and are treated as equivalent entities for purposes of data presentation. The District of Columbia and Guam have no primary divisions, and each area is considered an equivalent entity for purposes of data presentation. The Census Bureau treats the following entities as equivalents of counties for purposes of data presentation: Municipios in Puerto Rico, Districts and Islands in American Samoa, Municipalities in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas is covered by counties or equivalent entities. The 2010 Census boundaries for counties and equivalent entities are as of January 1, 2010, primarily as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS).

The AbrirCon extension for CKAN enhances data accessibility by enabling users to seamlessly open various resource types with external online applications like Plotly, Carto, and Geojson.io. This extension adds "Abrir con" links to resource pages, providing users with a direct way to visualize and interact with data using their preferred tools. By supporting a range of file formats, AbrirCon extends CKAN's utility for data exploration and analysis. Key Features: Plotly Integration: Allows users to open CSV, TSV, XLS, and XLSX files directly in Plotly for interactive data visualization. Carto Integration: Enables opening CSV, XLS, XLSX, KML, KMZ, GeoJSON, and SHP files in Carto for geospatial analysis and mapping. Geojson.io Integration: Facilitates opening GeoJSON files in Geojson.io for quick viewing and editing of geospatial data. Easy Installation: Simple installation process involving cloning the repository, installing the extension, and adding abrircon to the ckan.plugins configuration. Configuration Parameters: Requires configuration of specific parameters (not detailed in the Readme), likely to configure the integration with Plotly, Carto and Geojson.io (e.g. API keys or URLs). Technical Integration: The AbrirCon extension integrates with CKAN by adding itself to the ckan.plugins configuration, as described in the readme. This suggests that it likely modifies the resource view templates— specifically the resourceitemexplore block of the resource_item.html file — to insert the "Abrir con" links. When installing, the readme explicitly mentions the order of plugins in ckan.plugins being important, specifically that abrircon should precede any plugins which modify the resourceitemexplore block of resource_item.html. Benefits & Impact: The AbrirCon extension simplifies the process of visualizing and working with data stored in CKAN. By allowing users to quickly open resources in external applications, it reduces the need for manual downloading and uploading of files. This streamlined workflow enhances data exploration and analysis capabilities, making CKAN a more valuable tool for data users. The fact that several city councils contributed to the extension points to its value in the open data ecosystem.

Vector polygon map data of city limits from across the State of Texas containing 2142 features.

City limits GIS (Geographic Information System) data provides valuable information about the boundaries of a city, which is crucial for various planning and decision-making processes. Urban planners and government officials use this data to understand the extent of their jurisdiction and to make informed decisions regarding zoning, land use, and infrastructure development within the city limits.

By overlaying city limits GIS data with other layers such as population density, land parcels, and environmental features, planners can analyze spatial patterns and identify areas for growth, conservation, or redevelopment. This data also aids in emergency management by defining the areas of responsibility for different emergency services, helping to streamline response efforts during crises..

This city limits data is available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.

The NOAFAULTs database of active faults of Greece was first published in 2013 (versions 1.0 & 1.1; http://dx.doi.org/10.12681/bgsg.11079). The version 2.1 was published in 2018 http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3483136). Version 3.0 was published in 2020 http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4304613 Version 4.0 was published in 2022 https://zenodo.org/record/6326260 NOAFAULTs was created towards compiling a digital database of fault geometry and additional attributes (kinematics, slip rate, associated seismicity etc.) primarily to support seismicity monitoring at the National Observatory of Athens (NOA). It has been constructed from published fault maps in peer-reviewed journals since 1972 while the number of the scientific papers that have contributed with fault data in version 5.0 is 140. The standard commercial software ARCGIS has been used to design and populate the database. The fault layer was produced at NOA by on-screen digitization of fault traces at the original map-scale and is available through our web portal application https://arcg.is/04Haer supported by ESRI. In this version, a number of 2916 active faults are included. 91% of the active faults are normal faults, 6% are strike-slip faults and only 3% represent the reverse faults. Also, reliable data on slip rates are available for 215 faults. Data on instrumental and historical seismicity are linked to 175 and 132 active faults, respectively. In addition, a) surface-rupturing geological data and b) data on the proximity of epicentres of strong seismic events to the traces of active faults allows the identification of 111 rupturing faults (seismic faults) that included in this version of the database. The NOAFAULTs database shows that nearly 54% of its active faults imply high seismic risk level in the broader area of Greece. These active faults can generate surface faulting or strong ground motions that can cause serious damage to buildings and infrastructures and therefore represent a significant hazard, particularly in the densely populated and industrialized areas of Greece.

This layer presents the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zones of the world. The layer symbolizes the 6-degree wide zones employed for UTM projection.To download the data for this layer as a layer package for use in ArcGIS desktop applications, refer to World UTM Zones Grid.

The LIA extent was identified and extracted using known techniques of band combinations in remote sensing but applied to look at a terrestrial landscape through a new lens. The marginal zone of the LIA is denoted by little or no vegetation, disturbed sediment, moraines, trimlines, little or no soil development and the exposed rock surfaces are unweathered. Sentinel 2 images were downloaded from USGS Earth Explorer from July- September 2021 to show the peak vegetation season. Scenes with less than 10% cloudiness were chosen. The band combination to identify the LIA extent is B11 (Short Wave Infrared: SWIR), B8 (Near Infrared: NIR), and B2 (Blue).

The Reclassify Spatial Analyst tool was used to perform an unsupervised classification and geoprocessing to change the value in a raster, from a range to a single value. Image classification is the conversion of a multi-band raster image, such as Sentinel-2, to a single-band raster with defined categories to represent the desired land cover.

The mask is a visual map of the entire area covered by the GrIS during the LIA maximum.

The LIA mask was created in projection Stereographic North (ESPG3413) to match the BedMachine product. The data is available for use in 30 x 30m, 150 x 150m and 1 x 1km resolutions in NetCDF Files. It is also available as .tif in 30 x 30m, 150 x 150m and 1 x 1km resolutions and a .shp and .kmz files to be useable in modelling, GIS (Arc & QGIS), and Google Earth.

Based on the source map scale of 1:500,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 254 meters or 833.3 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 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. 2.2. (available at: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm). The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone AD_1983_Alaska_AlbersN, however, for the KML/KMZ format the data is projected upon export to WGS84 Geographic, the native coordinate system used by Google Earth. The data is within the area of interest of Bering Land Bridge National Preserve.
