description: This database contains locations of day care centers for 39 states which include the states of AZ, CA, , NV, NY, HI. This is a work in progress and data for remaining states will be added as they become available. The dataset only includes center based day care locations (including schools and religious institutes) and does not include home and family based day cares. All the data was acquired from respective states departments or their open source websites and then geocoded and converted into a spatial database, data for Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Delaware and Louisiana was obtained in a GIS format. Information on the source of data for each state is available in the database itself. After geocoding the exact spatial location of each point is being verified using high resolution imagery and ancillary dataset and points are being moved to rooftops wherever possible, this is an ongoing work and points which have been physically verified have been labeled "Geocode", "Imagery", "Imagery with other" and "Unverified" depending on the methodology used to move the points. "Unverified" data points have still not being physically examined even though each of the points has been street geocoded as mentioned above. "Unverified" points for Puerto Rico, Washington DC and the states of Louisiana and Delaware may have better positional accuracy as data for these was obtained in GIS format. The "TYPE" attribute has not been populated yet, this will be populated once a common classification of day care for all states has been decided. The "O_TYPE" attribute contains the classification provided by individual states.; abstract: This database contains locations of day care centers for 39 states which include the states of AZ, CA, , NV, NY, HI.

The LandScan data set is a worldwide population database compiled on a 30" X 30" latitude/longitude grid. Census counts (at sub-national level) were apportioned to each grid cell based on likelihood coefficients, which are based on proximity to roads, slope, land cover, nighttime lights, and other data sets. LandScan has been developed as part of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Global Population Project for estimating ambient populations at risk. The LandScan files are available via the internet in ESRI grid format by continent and for the world. You can access the data files after user registration through the data links. For an overview of the methods used to develop LandScan, please read the documentation and FAQs.

Population database compiled on a 30x30†lat/long grid, for the years: 1998, 2000 and 2007. within the Okavango Basin. Census counts (at sub-national level) were apportioned to each grid cell based on likelihood coefficients, which are based on proximity to roads, slope, land cover, nighttime lights, and other information.Source: Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This dataset is part of the GIS Database for the Environment Protection and Sustainable Management of the Okavango River Basin project (EPSMO). Detailed information on the database can be found in the “GIS Database for the EPSMO Project†document produced by Luis Veríssimo (FAO consultant) in July 2009, and here available for download.

This dataset was created to provide land use information on the Oak Ridges Moraine and is the basis for Ontario Regulation 140/02.

The data was digitized at 1:10,000 or better using 0.5 metre air photos, MNR, DMTI, Upper and Lower-tier Official Plans and digital vector layers.

Raster files created by processing original vector data. Data include information of forest parameters for the BOREAS SSA MSA.

This data set contains GIS coverages constructed from measurements taken of logged areas in Juruena, Mato Grosso. Classes include roads, skids trails, tree crowns, tree-fall locations, and block boundary (Asner et al., 2004). Coverages are in ArcInfo SHAPE format (*.shp), UTM projection, using the WGS84 datum.

Dispersion of mistletoe bearing trees and the volume of mistletoe on each tree for RANA and Hastings/Oak Ridge.

This data set contains GIS coverage constructed from measurements taken of four logged areas in Cauaxi, Para, Brazil. Logged areas were selectively harvested either using conventional logging techniques or using reduced-impact logging (RIL) techniques (Pereira et al., 2002). Two areas were harvested with each technique in 1996 and two additional areas were harvested in 1998. Coverage includes log decks (patios), roads, skids trails, tree-fall locations, and logging area (block) boundary. These field surveys were conducted as part of an investigation of canopy damage following selective logging by two different techniques (Asner et al., 2004).

Coverage is in ArcInfo interchange format (*.e00). The geographic projection of the data is UTM zone 22, South WGS84 datum.

In the Pin2Flood project (https://gis.tdem.texas.gov/portal/apps/storymaps/stories/72f0ec81a7654da688518f486122abed), funded by the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), ORNL computed the 3-meter HAND and associated synthetic rating curves for the State of Texas, covering 287,535 river streams (1.5km/stream) in 209 HUC8s. This archived dataset includes the HAND raster and the synthetic rating curve table for each of the 209 HUC8s in Texas. It is hosted at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). This 3-meter HAND is derived from the Fathom 3-meter DEM and NHDPlus V21 using an accelerated version of NOAA's Flood Inundation Mapping version 3 (FIM3, https://github.com/NOAA-OWP/inundation-mapping/tree/dev-fim3)

The long-term Walker Branch Hydrology Monitoring project is intended to document changes in the water balance (precipitation inputs, stream discharge outputs) for the Walker Branch Watershed over time.

This data set contains three data files of precipitation amount (mm) for hourly, monthly, and annual measurement intervals for the years 1969 through 2011. The precipitation data files are periodically updated.

Five gauges were used for part of this study. Contact Natalie Griffiths for locations. Rain Gauge #1 - Rain Gauge #2 - Rain Gauge #3 - Rain Gauge #4 - Rain Gauge #5 -

Plants play a central role in the carbon cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and incorporating it in the structure of the plant. Globally living plants contain 500 billion metric tons of carbon, more than 60 times the amount of carbon released to the atmosphere by humans each year. Understanding the distribution of the carbon stored in living plants, known as biomass, is key to estimating the effects of land use change on the climate.Dataset SummaryThis layer provides access to a 1-km cell-sized raster with data on the density of carbon stored in living plants in metric tons per hectare for the year 2000.
