Geographic Information System (GIS) analyses are an essential part of natural resource management and research. Calculating and summarizing data within intersecting GIS layers is common practice for analysts and researchers. However, the various tools and steps required to complete this process are slow and tedious, requiring many tools iterating over hundreds, or even thousands of datasets. USGS scientists will combine a series of ArcGIS geoprocessing capabilities with custom scripts to create tools that will calculate, summarize, and organize large amounts of data that can span many temporal and spatial scales with minimal user input. The tools work with polygons, lines, points, and rasters to calculate relevant summary data and combine them into a single output table that can be easily incorporated into statistical analyses. These tools are useful for anyone interested in using an automated script to quickly compile summary information within all areas of interest in a GIS dataset.

This is a merged set of Isochlor line features into single feature class compiled from the original series of individual 2024 isochlor data layers. Approximate 250 mg/L isochlor for Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Lee and Collier Counties. Well and chloride data were obtained from USGS and SFWMD records. The line marks an approximation of the farthest inland extent of the saltwater interface as defined by the 250 mg/L chloride concentration and/or the farthest inland extent of saline surface water. The isochlor is based on the maximum chloride value for the period of March/April/May 2024, with minor exceptions (denoted by an * at the end of the well table at the bottom of the published maps).Chloride and well data from the SFWMD have been furnished by Permittees and have not been validated. Chloride and well data from the USGS are available via https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis and may also be available in the District’s DBHYDRO database https://my.sfwmd.gov/dbhydroplsql/show_dbkey_info.main_menu.The chloride wells used for this project are compiled in a separate point feature class called, "Chloride Concentration Control Points, 2024".

This shapefile provides a worldwide geographic division by merging the World Continents division proposed by Esri Data and Maps (2024) to the Global Oceans and Seas version 1 division proposed by the Flanders Marine Institute (2021). Though divisions of continents and oceans/seas are available, the combination of both in a single shapefile is scarce.

The Continents and Oceans/Seas shapefile was carefully processed to remove overlaps between the inputs, and to fill gaps (i.e., areas with no information) by spatially joining these gaps to neighbour polygons. In total, the original world continents input divides land areas into 8 categories (Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America), while the original oceans/seas input divides the oceans/seas into 10 categories (Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Region, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, South China and Easter Archipelagic Seas, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean). Therefore, the resulting world geographic division has 18 possible categories.

First, we would like to thank the wildland fire advisory group. Their wisdom and guidance helped us build the dataset as it currently exists. Currently, there are multiple, freely available fire datasets that identify wildfire and prescribed fire burned areas across the United States. However, these datasets are all limited in some way. Their time periods could cover only a couple of decades or they may have stopped collecting data many years ago. Their spatial footprints may be limited to a specific geographic area or agency. Their attribute data may be limited to nothing more than a polygon and a year. None of the existing datasets provides a comprehensive picture of fires that have burned throughout the last few centuries. Our dataset uses these existing layers and utilizes a series of both manual processes and ArcGIS Python (arcpy) scripts to merge these existing datasets into a single dataset that encompasses the known wildfires and prescribed fires within the United States and certain territories. Forty different fire layers were utilized in this dataset. First, these datasets were ranked by order of observed quality (Tiers). The datasets were given a common set of attribute fields and as many of these fields were populated as possible within each dataset. All fire layers were then merged together (the merged dataset) by their common attributes to created a merged dataset containing all fire polygons. Polygons were then processed in order of Tier (1-8) so that overlapping polygons in the same year and Tier were dissolved together. Overlapping polygons in subsequent Tiers were removed from the dataset. Attributes from the original datasets of all intersecting polygons in the same year across all Tiers were also merged so that all attributes from all Tiers were included, but only the polygons from the highest ranking Tier were dissolved to form the fire polygon. The resulting product (the combined dataset) has only one fire per year in a given area with one set of attributes. While it combines wildfire data from 40 wildfire layers and therefore has more complete information on wildfires than the datasets that went into it, this dataset has also has its own set of limitations. Please see the Data Quality attributes within the metadata record for additional information on this dataset's limitations. Overall, we believe this dataset is designed be to a comprehensive collection of fire boundaries within the United States and provides a more thorough and complete picture of fires across the United States when compared to the datasets that went into it.

We implemented automated workflows using Jupyter notebooks for each state. The GIS processing, crucial for merging, extracting, and projecting GeoTIFF data, was performed using ArcPy—a Python package for geographic data analysis, conversion, and management within ArcGIS (Toms, 2015). After generating state-scale LES (large extent spatial) datasets in GeoTIFF format, we utilized the xarray and rioxarray Python packages to convert GeoTIFF to NetCDF. Xarray is a Python package to work with multi-dimensional arrays and rioxarray is rasterio xarray extension. Rasterio is a Python library to read and write GeoTIFF and other raster formats. Xarray facilitated data manipulation and metadata addition in the NetCDF file, while rioxarray was used to save GeoTIFF as NetCDF. These procedures resulted in the creation of three HydroShare resources (HS 3, HS 4 and HS 5) for sharing state-scale LES datasets. Notably, due to licensing constraints with ArcGIS Pro, a commercial GIS software, the Jupyter notebook development was undertaken on a Windows OS.

Data contains historical polygons of in-channel islands within the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta. Data consists of merged datasets from 1929, 1940, 1949, 1952, 1995, 2002, and 2017. The 2017 polygons are digitized from the 2017 Delta LiDAR imagery by the Division of Engineering, Geomatics Branch, Geospatial Data Support Section. The older pre-2017 polygons were all digitized by staff in the Delta Levees Program. Data can be queried for a single year or date range using the 'Year' field. Historical data was compiled and merged from datasets provided by the Delta Levees program. Data coverage differs between years. Absences or gaps in historical data may occur. Older acquisitions generally have a smaller footprint than recent imagery acquisitions. The 2017 in-channel islands cover the Legal Delta, and also include Chipps Island.

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. We converted the photointerpreted data into a GIS-usable format employing three fundamental processes; (1) orthorectify, (2) digitize, and (3) database enhancement. All digital map automation was projected in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection, Zone 12, using North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). To produce a polygon vector coverage for use in GIS, we converted each raster-based image mosaic of orthorectified overlays containing the photointerpreted data into a grid format using ArcInfo (Version 8.0.2, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, California). In ArcTools, we used the ArcScan utility to trace the polygon data and produce ArcInfo vector-based coverages. We digitally assigned map attribute codes (both map class codes and physiognomic modifier codes) to the polygons, and checked the digital data against the photointerpreted overlays for line and attribute consistency. Ultimately, we merged the 78 individual coverages into a seamless map coverage of GNP and immediate environs. We synchronized polygons and attributes along the boundary between the GNP and WLNP map coverages. Although GNP and WLNP are two separate map coverages, they are seamless in the sense they edge tie perfectly in both polygon location and map attribute.
