The widespread influence of land use and natural disturbance on population, community, and landscape dynamics and the long-term legacy of disturbance on modern ecosystems requires that a historical, broad-scale perspective become an integral part of modern ecological studies and conservation assessment and planning. In previous studies, the Harvard Forest Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program has developed an integrated approach of paleoecological and historical reconstruction, meteorological modeling, air photo interpretation, GIS analyses, and field studies of vegetation and soils, to address fundamental ecological questions concerning the rates, direction, and causes of vegetation change, to evaluate controls over modern species and community distributions and landscape patterns, and to provide critical background for conservation and restoration planning. In the current study, we extend this approach to investigate the link between landscape history and the abundance, distribution, and dynamics of species, communities and landscapes of the Cape Cod to Long Island coastal region, including the islands of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Block Island. The study region includes many areas of high conservation priority that are linked geographically, historically, and ecologically. This data package includes GIS layers digitized by Harvard Forest researchers from copies of the US Coastal Survey “T-Sheet” maps available from the National Archives in College Park, Maryland. The US Coastal Survey, and then the US Coast and Geodetic Survey mapped the region, or specific parts of it, several times between 1832 and the 1960s. In this project we digitized the earliest T-Sheet available for each location. The original maps were surveyed between 1832 and 1886, with most of them made between 1835 to 1855. The original maps showed features such as roads, farm walls, railroads, buildings, some industrial buildings, saltworks, wharfs, and land cover including woodlands, sandplains, grasslands, open agricultural fields, cultivated areas, fruit tree orchards, wetlands, etc. Many sheets had symbols which differentiated conifer trees from hardwoods. There were some inconsistencies in what features were mapped or how they were drawn between the original T-Sheets. Since we digitized the maps over the course of several different research projects, we did not always digitize all of the same features in each geographic area, therefore users of this data are encouraged to look at scans of the original T-Sheets for their specific areas of interest (links below). We always digitized land cover and roads and occasionally buildings and fences as mentioned in the datasets below.

For migrating plovers, wind and weather conditions play an important role in their flight departures; and stopover sites in the Mid-Atlantic provide critical habitat for rest and refueling. Here in this map, you can look at how nano-tagged Piping Plovers from Rhode Island and Massachusetts timed their migration flights with wind conditions.The storymap is available at the following link: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5bab01fc5fa445f58ee54c062b4d2f3dStory Map Created by Alex Cook, USFWS Directorate Fellowship Program 2020 Cohort

A regional scale structural and stratigraphic 3D model has been developed for the western Tamworth Belt within the New England Orogen in northeastern New South Wales. The western Tamworth Belt is bound by the crustal scale Hunter-Mooki and Peel-Manning Fault systems, which together form a wedge of deformed Devonian to Permian rocks. The model consists of broad lithological volumes representing Devonian, Devonian-Carboniferous, Carboniferous and Permian rocks that are folded and offset by numerous second and third order fault systems with minor intrusion by Permian granitoids. The model is based on a series of 2 dimensional cross sections developed based on the integration of surface mapping, 16 reflection seismic profiles as well as magnetic and gravity data. Interpretation confidence volumes are provided with the model to visually represent constraint location and constraint quality. The results of the modelling provide a basis for understanding the regional structural architecture and controls on mineral systems. The model illustrates the contrast in deformation style from the northern Tamworth Belt, relative to the southeast of the belt that is more structurally complex in terms of folding and faulting. The distribution of known hydrothermal mineral systems in the Tamworth Belt appear closely linked to the fault-architecture, with most occurring around steep west-dipping fault zones that intersect or splay from the Hunter-Mooki Fault at depth. Faults of this style are more common in the southeastern Tamworth Belt than they are to the north.

The USGS, in cooperation with NOAA, is producing detailed maps of the seafloor off southern New England. The current phase of this cooperative research program is directed toward analyzing how bathymetric relief relates to the distribution of sedimentary environments and benthic communities. As part of this program, digital terrain models (DTMs) from bathymetry collected as part of NOAA's hydrographic charting activities are converted into ESRI raster grids and imagery, verified with bottom sampling and photography, and used to produce interpretations of seabed geology and hydrodynamic processes. Although each of the 7 continuous-coverage, completed surveys individually provides important benthic environmental information, many applications require a geographically broader perspective. For example, the usefulness of individual surveys is limited for the planning and construction of cross-Sound infrastructure, such as cables and pipelines, or for the testing of regional circulation models. To address this need, we integrated the 7 contiguous multibeam bathymetric DTMs into one dataset that covers much of Block Island Sound. The new dataset is adjusted to mean lower low water, is provided in UTM Zone 19 NAD83 and geographic WGS84 projections, and is gridded to 4-m resolution. This resolution is adequate for seafloor-feature and process interpretation, but small enough to be queried and manipulated with standard GIS programs and to allow for future growth. Natural features visible in the grid include boulder lag deposits of submerged moraines, sand-wave fields, and scour depressions that reflect the strength of the oscillating tidal currents. Bedform asymmetry allows interpretations of net sediment transport. Together the merged data reveal a larger, more continuous perspective of bathymetric topography than previously available, providing a fundamental framework for research and resource management activities off this portion of the Rhode Island coast.

This dataset contains data from a process-oriented research cruise aboard the R/V Neil Armstrong from June 18th to July 2nd. The goal of this cruise was to map the three-dimensional structure of a mid-depth salinity maximum intrusion of warm salinity slope water extending onto the continental shelf south of New England. This was done through the use of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (two REMUS 100 vehicles and one Tethys class AUV (Long Range AUV or LRAUV)), a towed Rockland Scientific Vertical Microstructure Profiler (VMP 250), and ship-board CTD and ADCP measurements. More details about the processing, data coverage, and usage can be found in the accompanying manuscript. This cruise took place on the shelf waters south of Cape Cod, MA, extending to the shelf break, with all of the data collected between 40°N to 41°N and 71.5°W to 70°W. Attached is a data map showing the location of all data included within this dataset.

This dataset consists of tick sampling and microclimate data from Exmoor, Richmond and New Forest study sites; as well as ARCGIS risk maps that model tick abundance driven by climate surfaces and host abundance. Tick sampling data (91 files, each representing a day of sampling) indicate tick abundance (distinguishing larvae, nymphs, adult males and adult females), vegetation height, soil moisture, temperature and relative humidity. Static risk map files indicate modeled tick abundance: 251 landcover files for the three sites, as well as 36 ArcView map files. The study is part of the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. Many people take pleasure from activities in forests and wild lands in the UK and others are being encouraged to participate. Unfortunately, there are risks and one of the most insidious is the possibility (albeit tiny) of acquiring a disease from wild animals; for example, ticks can be vectors of the bacterial infection leading to Lyme Disease. Both diagnosis and treatment can be problematic so prevention of acquiring such disease is highly desirable. Surprisingly little is known about how best to warn countryside users about the potential for disease without scaring them away or spoiling their enjoyment. Answering such questions was the goal of this project, and required the integration of a diverse set of scientific skills, and an understanding of the views of those who manage countryside, those who have contracted zoonotic diseases and those who access the land. This project combined knowledge from three strands of work, namely risk assessment, risk perception and communication, and scenario analysis. The study sites were selected to provide a range of environmental conditions and countryside use. Peri-urban parkland, accessible lowland forest and heath and remote upland forest were chosen as represented by Richmond Park on the fringe of Greater London, the New Forest in Southern England, and Exmoor in South West England. The following additional data from this same research project are available at the UK Data Archive under study number 6892 (see online resources): Lyme disease risk perception data resulting from tick imagery vignette experiments, Lyme disease patient interviews and surveys, residents and countryside staff focus groups, forest manager interviews, and multiple scoring procedures of animal social representation; as well as Lyme and tick risk communication data resulting from interviews with organisations and content analysis of risk warning information leaflets, Further documentation for this study may be found through the RELU Knowledge Portal and the project's ESRC funding award web page (see online resources).

This data set was prepared by BORIS staff by reformatting the original data into the ARC/INFO Generate format. The original data were received in SIF at a scale of 1:50,000. BORIS staff could not find a format document or commercial software for reading SIF; the BOREAS HYD-08 team provided some C source code that could read some of the SIF files. The data cover the BOREAS NSA and SSA. The original data were compiled from information available in the 1970s and 1980s.

(3 - 1 - Long-Term Change - Western FI Map: Part of the Coastal Change at Fire Island geo-narrative)Fire Island is a 31 mile long barrier island that is centrally located on the southern shore of Long Island, New York. The island is comprised of Fire Island National Seashore (including several federal wilderness tracts), NY state and county parks, and developed communities. The U.S. Geological Survey has been conducting research in the offshore, nearshore, and barrier island systems at Fire Island for more than two decades to better understand drivers of coastal change and evolution. This Story Map features research that is being used to predict how beaches change in response to storms and how they may subsequently recover in the year following a storm event.

Map of 35 NSW-listed threatened ecological communities (TECs) within Greater Sydney. The map is derived from a number of best available mapping products and expert input. While the distribution of a number of TECs extends beyond Greater Sydney, their distribution beyond the study area is not represented in this map, with two exceptions: the Blue Mountains Basalt Forest and Pittwater and Wagstaffe Spotted Gum Forest TECs.\r \r The methodology and scale of best available sources used to derive the map vary, with concomitant variation in currency, coverage, spatial precision and attribution accuracy. There are known gaps in coverage due to the lack of mapping sources in some locations within the study area (including, but not limited to the Grose Valley near Wollangambe, Ebenezer, Cattai, west of Mulgoa and west of Thirlmere). Limitations of this map include: areas not identified as TEC may be TEC, areas identified as TEC may not be TEC, and areas identified as a TEC may be a different TEC. Accordingly, property-scale assessments should inform activities, plans and proposals at the property scale. \r \r Mapping is updated frequently via expert input. The map data informs the Biodiversity Values Map, Native Vegetation Regulatory Map, Rural Fire Service 10/50 tool and High Environmental Values Greater Sydney map. \r \r For more information about the map, refer to the report 'Map of threatened ecological communities in Greater Sydney'.\r \r TECs included in this map are:\r \r * Agnes Banks Woodland in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions\r * Blue Gum High Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Blue Mountains Basalt Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Blue Mountains Shale Cap Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Blue Mountains Swamps in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Castlereagh Scribbly Gum Woodland in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Castlereagh Swamp Woodland\r * Coastal Saltmarsh in the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions\r * Coastal Upland Swamp in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Cooks River/Castlereagh Ironbark Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Cumberland Plain Woodland in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Duffys Forest Ecological Community in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Elderslie Banksia Scrub Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Freshwater wetlands on coastal floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South-East Corner bioregions\r * Hygrocybeae Community of Lane Cove Bushland Park in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Kurnell Dune Forest in the Sutherland Shire and the City of Rockdale\r * Littoral Rainforest in the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions\r * Maroota Sands Swamp Forest\r * Moist Shale Woodland in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Montane Peatlands and Swamps of the New England Tableland, NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin, South East Corner, South Eastern Highlands and Australian Alps bioregions\r * O'Hares Creek Shale Forest\r * Pittwater and Wagstaffe Spotted Gum Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * River-flat Eucalypt Forest on Coastal Floodplain of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions\r * Shale Sandstone Transition Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Southern Sydney Sheltered Forest on Transitional Sandstone Soils in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Sun Valley Cabbage Gum in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Swamp Oak Floodplain Forest of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions\r * Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions\r * Sydney Freshwater Wetlands in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r * The Shorebird Community occurring on the relict tidal delta sands at Taren Point\r * Themeda Grassland on Seacliffs and Coastal Headlands in the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions\r * Western Sydney Dry Rainforest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion\r
