The 2020 North American Land Cover 30-meter dataset was produced as part of the North American Land Change Monitoring System (NALCMS), a trilateral effort between Natural Resources Canada, the United States Geological Survey, and three Mexican organizations including the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía), National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of the Biodiversity (Comisión Nacional Para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad), and the National Forestry Commission of Mexico (Comisión Nacional Forestal). The collaboration is facilitated by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, an international organization created by the Canada, Mexico, and United States governments under the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation to promote environmental collaboration between the three countries. The general objective of NALCMS is to devise, through collective effort, a harmonized multi-scale land cover monitoring approach which ensures high accuracy and consistency in monitoring land cover changes at the North American scale and which meets each country’s specific requirements. This 30-meter dataset of North American Land Cover reflects land cover information for 2020 from Mexico and Canada, 2019 over the conterminous United States and 2021 over Alaska. Each country developed its own classification method to identify Land Cover classes and then provided an input layer to produce a continental Land Cover map across North America. Canada, Mexico, and the United States developed their own 30-meter land cover products; see specific sections on data generation below. The main inputs for image classification were 30-meter Landsat 8 Collection 2 Level 1 data in the three countries (Canada, the United States and Mexico). Image selection processes and reduction to specific spectral bands varied among the countries due to study-site-specific requirements. While Canada selected most images from the year 2020 with a few from 2019 and 2021, the Conterminous United States employed mainly images from 2019, while Alaska land cover maps are mainly based on the use of images from 2021. The land cover map for Mexico was based on land cover change detection between 2015 and 2020 Mexico Landsat 8 mosaics. In order to generate a seamless and consistent land cover map of North America, national maps were generated for Canada by the CCRS; for Mexico by CONABIO, INEGI, and CONAFOR; and for the United States by the USGS. Each country chose their own approaches, ancillary data, and land cover mapping methodologies to create national datasets. This North America dataset was produced by combining the national land cover datasets. The integration of the three national products merged four Land Cover map sections, Alaska, Canada, the conterminous United States and Mexico.

United States Mosaic - This RADARSAT-1 mosaic of the United States comprises 190 images acquired between March 1998 and October 1999. Include one full map and maps by regions (East Central, North East, North West, South Central, South East and South West). The mosaic was produced by MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing. RADARSAT data © CSA. Note that some more massive images can be complicated to download. It is then advisable to use a viewing tool created specifically for satellite images. Several tools are available in open format.

This data set provides forest age map products at 1-km resolution for Canada and the United States (U.S.A.). These continental forest age maps were compiled from forest inventory data, historical fire data, optical satellite data, and the images from the NASA Landsat Ecosystem Disturbance Adaptive Processing System (LEDAPS) project. These input data products have various sources and creation dates as described in the source paper by Pan et al. (2011). Canadian maps were produced with data available through 2004 and U.S.A. maps with data available through 2006. A supplementary map of the standard deviations for age estimates was developed for quantifying uncertainty.

Note that the Pan et al. (2011) paper is included as a companion file with this data set and was the source of descriptions in the guide.

Forest age, implicitly reflecting the past disturbance legacy, is a simple and direct surrogate for the time since disturbance and may be used in various forest carbon analyses that concern the impact of disturbances. By combining geographic information about forest age with estimated carbon dynamics by forest type, it is possible to conduct a simple but powerful analysis of the net CO2 uptake by forests, and the potential for increasing (or decreasing) this rate as a result of direct human intervention in the disturbance/age status.

National-scale geologic, geophysical, and mineral resource raster and vector data covering the United States, Canada, and Australia are provided in this data release. The data were compiled as part of the tri-national Critical Minerals Mapping Initiative (CMMI). The CMMI, established in 2019, is an international science collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Geoscience Australia (GA), and the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). One aspect of the CMMI is to use national- to global-scale earth science data to map where critical mineral prospectivity may exist using advanced machine learning approaches (Kelley, 2020). The geoscience information presented in this report include the training and evidential layers that cover all three countries and underpin the resultant prospectivity models for basin-hosted Pb-Zn mineralization described in Lawley and others (2021). It is expected that these data layers will be useful to many regional- to continental-scale studies related to a wide range of earth science research. Therefore, the data layers are organized using widely accepted GIS formats in the same map projection to increase efficiency and effectiveness of future studies. All datasets have a common geographic projection in decimal degrees using a WGS84 datum. Data for the various training and evidential layers were either derived for this study or were extracted from previous national to global-scale compilations. Data from outside work are provided here as a courtesy for completeness of the model and should be cited as the original source. Original references are provided on each child page. Where possible, data for the United States were merged to data for Canada to provide composite data that allow for continuity and seamless analyses of the earth science data across the two countries. Earth science data provided in this report include training data for the models. Training data include a mineral resource database of Pb-Zn deposits and occurrences related to either carbonate-hosted (Mississippi Valley type-MVT) or clastic-dominated (aka sedex) Pb-Zn mineralization. Evidential layers that were used as input to the models include GeoTIFF grid files consisting of ground, airborne, and satellite geophysical data (magnetic, gravity, tomography, seismic) and several related derivative products. Geologic layers incorporated into the models include shapefiles of modified lithology and faults for the United States, Canada and Australia. A global database of ancient and modern passive margins is provided here as well as a link to a database mapping the global distribution of black shale units from a previous USGS study. GeoTIFF grids of the final prospectivity models for MVT and for clastic-dominated Pb-Zn mineralization across the US, Canada, and Australia from Lawley and others (2021) are also included. Each child page describes the particular data layer and related derivative products if applicable.
