The PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and PA Game Commission (PGC) have teamed up to create an interactive map specifically for hunters. Collectively, State Forest Land and Gamelands comprise over 3.7 million acres of public forest open to hunting in Pennsylvania. Hunters can use this map to:View public forests open to hunting.Search hunting seasons and bag limits across different parts of the state.Display hunting hours (starting/ending times) across different parts of the state.Add personal GPS data to the map (waypoints and tracklogs).View different types of wildlife habitat across public forest lands, including mature oak forests, meadows, food plots, openings, winter thermal (coniferous) cover, and young aspen forest.See where recent timber harvests have occurred on public forest lands.Get deer management assistance program (DMAP) information for state forest lands.Add map layers associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD).Identify where bear check stations are located and get driving directions.Display the elk hunting zones and get information about them.Get the location of gated roads opened for hunters on public forest lands and when those gates will be opened.Analyze graphs and trends in antlerless/antlered deer harvests and antlerless license allocations from 2004 to the present.

The Philadelphia, PA Meter-Scale Urban Land Cover (MULC) dataset comprises 7184 km2 around the city of Philadelphia and surrounding land in parts of fourteen counties within four states (PA, DE, NJ, MD): New Castle County in Delaware and Cecil County Maryland; Bucks, Chester, Lancaster, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Delaware Counties in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Mercer, Camden, Gloucester, Salmen and Atlantic Counties in New Jersey. These MULC data and maps were derived from several sources from multiple years: leaf-off LiDAR; 1-m pixel, four-band (red, green, blue, and near-infrared) leaf-on aerial photography acquired from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP); 1-ft pixel orthoimagery; additional leaf-on and leaf-off imagery as well as ancillary vector data (e.g., roads, building footprints.). Ten land cover classes were mapped: Water, Impervious Surfaces, Soil/Barren, Tree/Forested, Shrub, Grass/Herbaceous NonWoody Vegetation, Agriculture, Orchard, and Wetlands (Woody and Emergent). Wetlands were delineated using the best available existing wetlands data, which was a National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) layer. An analysis of 600 completely random and 251 stratified random photo-interpreted land cover reference points yielded a simple overall user's accuracy (MAX) of 78% and an overall fuzzy user's accuracy (RIGHT) of 86% (see confusion matrices below). This dataset was produced by the University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Laboratory, the United States Forest Service Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) assessment program, and the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to the EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

This EnviroAtlas dataset demonstrates the effect of changes in pollution concentration on local populations in 3974 block groups in Philadelphia, PA. The US EPA's Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP) was used to estimate the incidence of adverse health effects (i.e., mortality and morbidity) and associated monetary value that result from changes in pollution concentrations for Philadelphia City and County, PA, New Castle County, DE, Cecil County, MD, Camden County, NJ, Atlantic County, NJ, Gloucester County, NJ, Burlington County, NJ, Delaware County, PA, Bucks County, PA, Chester County, PA, and Montgomery County, PA. Incidence and value estimates for the block groups are calculated using i-Tree models (www.itreetools.org), local weather data, pollution data, and U.S. Census derived population data. This dataset was produced by the USDA Forest Service with support from The Davey Tree Expert Company to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States.

These data were created as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's efforts to create an online mapping viewer called the NOAA Lake Level Viewer. It depicts potential lake level rise and fall and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal managers and scientists with a preliminary look at lake level change, coastal flooding impacts, and exposed lakeshore. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The NOAA Lake Level Viewer may be accessed at: https://coast.noaa.gov/llv. This metadata record describes the Lake Erie digital elevation model (DEM), which is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Lake Level Viewer described above. This DEM includes the best available lidar and US Army Corps of Engineer dredge survey data known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications. This DEM includes data for Monroe and Wayne Counties in Michigan; Chautauqua and Erie Counties in New York; Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Erie, Lake, Lorain, Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, and Wood Counties in Ohio; and Erie County in Pennsylvania. The DEM was produced from the following lidar data sets: 1. 2011 - 2012 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Erie (MI, NY, OH, PA) 2. 2011 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: MI/NY Great Lakes 3. 2008 FEMA Lidar: Erie County, NY 4. 2007 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Erie (Erie County, PA) and Lake Michigan (Manitou Islands) (MI, PA) 5. 2007 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Erie (NY Shoreline) 6. 2006 USACE NCMP Topobathy Lidar: Lake Erie (OH, PA), Lake Huron (MI) and Lake Michigan (Porter County, IN) 7. 2007 Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR) Statewide Lidar 8. 2006 Ohio Statewide Imagery Program (OSIP) Lidar: North The DEM was produced from the following sonar data sets: 9. 2015 USACE Detroit District; Detroit River, MI; Livingstone Channel Reach 10. 2015 USACE Buffalo District, Ashtabula Harbor, OH 11. 2015 USACE Buffalo District, Erie Harbor, PA 12. 2015 USACE Buffalo District, Fairport Harbor, OH 13. 2015 USACE Buffalo District, Rocky River, OH 14. 2013 USACE Buffalo District; Buffalo Harbor, NY; Buffalo River and Ship Canal 15. 2014 USACE Detroit District, Point Mouillee, MI 16. 2014 USACE Buffalo District, Conneaut Harbor, OH 17. 2014 USACE Buffalo District, Dunkirk Harbor, NY 18. 2014 USACE Buffalo District, Niagara River, NY 19. 2014 USACE Buffalo District, Sandusky Harbor, OH The DEM is referenced vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with vertical units of meters and horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).

The Pennsylvania Flood Risk Tool is an interactive web map application developed by Penn State University with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This application depicts 1% annual chance floodplain boundaries in an online map environment. https://pafloodrisk.psu.edu/home/index.html

This dataset contains the lithologic class and topographic position index information and quality-assurance and quality-control data not available in the online National Water Information System for 54 domestic wells sampled by the U.S. Geological Survey in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, May-September 2017. The topographic position index (TPI) for each well location was computed on the basis of a 25-meter digital elevation model (U.S. Geological Survey, 2009) using criteria reported by Llewellyn (2014) to indicate potential classes for topographic setting. The bedrock geologic unit and primary lithology were determined for each well location on the basis of the digital bedrock geologic map of Pennsylvania (Miles and Whitfield, 2001). The quality-assurance and quality-control data (such as blanks or replicates) were collected at a subset of sites to ensure that the data met specific data-quality objectives outlined for the study.

This is an interactive webmap of the Sanborn Fire Insurance maps of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, PA. Not all maps are in copyright and posted. This project entailed georeferencing the index or key maps, and individual sheets if no index was available. Georeferenced maps were mosaicked and polygons were created with the extent of the index maps. Links to Penn State's online holdings were added if maps were out of copyright.

This Web Map provides the foundation for a Situational Awareness application for Wilkes Barre, PA that can be used by emergency management staff to identify the impact of a flood on public infrastructure and human populations. The Situational Awareness Viewer is a configuration of Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS that can be used to analyze the impact to people and places within an incident area. The application can be configured within ArcGIS Online or deployed on-premises.This web map is based on a flood hazard assessment of Luzerne County, PA.

Populations along the Susquehanna River Basin, which includes areas of New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, reside in one of the most flood prone areas in the United States. Major floods have occurred about every 15 years and flash floods are a consistent threat. Luzerne County, PA communities have long histories of flood emergencies, as the river bisects the county and tributaries are spread throughout. Based on the existing models and historical data, flood protection and management are already high priorities. However, rapidly changing demographics and unpredictable environmental conditions expose the need for more detailed and constantly evolving models for emergency preparedness and response.

This Hazard Analysis of Luzerne County augments the existing flood hazard area models with two additional critical factors for consideration. First, areas with vulnerable populations are identified using the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR) 2014 Social Vulnerability Index. This data model incorporates a variety of socioeconomic indicators as part of an analytical matrix that measures the potential resilience of communities facing emergency conditions. All tracts are given a percentile rank (0= Lowest Vulnerability to 1=Highest Vulnerability) for fifteen variables. Four major theme rankings (Socioeconomic, Housing Composition and Disability, Minority Status & Language, and Housing & Transportation) are compiled as a sum of the variables for each theme. An overall percentile ranking is determined for each tract. For the purposes of this study, Natural Breaks classification was used to group tracts with similar overall tract scores. All tracts with overall ratings above .7372 (top 2 of 5 classes) are defined as “High Vulnerability”, with populations that are at the highest risk during crisis level events of any kind. In addition, critical infrastructure locations are identified and mapped.

Given the incalculable value of human life and importance of essential infrastructure to response and recovery, both the “High Vulnerability” areas and critical emergency locations layers are intersected with a layer of flood hazard areas from the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. The Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) that intersect with High Vulnerability areas are defined as “High Hazard Areas”.

The United States National Grid (USNG) for Luzerne County is also available as a comparative layer.

About the SFHA

The land area covered by the floodwaters of the base flood is the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) on NFIP maps. The SFHA is the area where the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP's) floodplain management regulations must be enforced and the area where the mandatory purchase of flood insurance applies.

What is the SVI?

Social vulnerability refers to the resilience of communities when confronted by external stresses on human health, stresses such as natural or human-caused disasters, or disease outbreaks. Reducing social vulnerability can decrease both human suffering and economic loss. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR) Social Vulnerability Index uses U.S. census variables at tract level to help local officials identify communities that may need support in preparing for hazards or recovering from disaster.

What is the USNG?

The United States National Grid (USNG) is a point reference system of grid references commonly used in the United States. It provides a nationally consistent language of location in a user-friendly format. It is similar in design to the national grid reference systems used throughout other nations.

Stormwater management involves the control of water that runs off the surface of the land from rain or melting ice or snow. The volume, or amount of runoff and its rate of runoff, substantially increase as land development occurs. Construction of impervious surfaces, such as roofs and parking lots, and the installation of storm sewer pipes which efficiently collect and discharge runoff, prevent the infiltration of rainfall into the soil. Management of stormwater is necessary to compensate for the possible impacts of development such as frequent flooding, erosion and sedimentation problems, concentration of flow on adjacent properties, damages to roads, bridges and other infrastructure as well as non-point source pollution washed off from impervious surfaces. The Pennsylvania legislature enacted the Storm Water Management Act (No.167) in 1978 to authorize a program of comprehensive watershed stormwater management which retains local implementation and enforcement of stormwater ordinances similar to local responsibility of administration of subdivision and land development regulations. Under the Act, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) provides grant money to counties to develop stormwater management plans for designated watersheds. This planning effort results in the incorporation of sound engineering standards and criteria into local codes and ordinances to manage runoff from new development in a coordinated, watershed-wide approach. Counties develop stormwater plans for each of their watersheds within their boundaries. DEP develops grant agreements with counties to pay for 75 percent of the cost to prepare the plans. Upon completion of a plan by a county and approval by DEP, municipalities located in the watershed adopt ordinances consistent with the plan. Developers are then required to follow the local drainage regulations that incorporate the standards of the watershed plan when preparing their land development plan. Although not all watersheds have been studied, developers in non-studied areas are still required to follow any local drainage regulations adopted under the Municipalities Planning Code.

Students in GEO401/507 Internet Mapping and a group of freshman GIS students have worked on a Spotted Lantern Fly Assignment and student research project. In class, students create a data collection app, ArcGIS Collector), link this to an online map, and post results and information via a public Story Map. This has led to a student data crowdsourcing, poster presentation and conference paper.

Background: The Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive pest that is threatening the agricultural, lumber, and ornamental industries throughout the southeastern areas of Pennsylvania. The first sighting of the fly was in Berks County, Pennsylvania in early 2014. Since 2014, the infestation has spread to 13 counties in the southeastern areas of Pennsylvania, threatening the $18 billion tree industry.
