Hi, I'm Patrick,I initially pursued an undergraduate degree in Computer Science because I wanted to make video games; however, after taking an Environmental Science course, I wanted to see if there was a way I could study both. This led me to GIS and I made that my specialism, doing a Masters and later PhD on the subject.

The Geopspatial Fabric provides a consistent, documented, and topologically connected set of spatial features that create an abstracted stream/basin network of features useful for hydrologic modeling.The GIS vector features contained in this Geospatial Fabric (GF) data set cover the lower 48 U.S. states, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Four GIS feature classes are provided for each Region: 1) the Region outline ("one"), 2) Points of Interest ("POIs"), 3) a routing network ("nsegment"), and 4) Hydrologic Response Units ("nhru"). A graphic showing the boundaries for all Regions is provided at http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.5066/F7542KMD. These Regions are identical to those used to organize the NHDPlus v.1 dataset (US EPA and US Geological Survey, 2005). Although the GF Feature data set has been derived from NHDPlus v.1, it is an entirely new data set that has been designed to generically support regional and national scale applications of hydrologic models. Definition of each type of feature class and its derivation is provided within the

This dataset comprises the files contained on a CD-ROM which was attached to the thesis when it was submitted in 2008. It was uploaded to ORDO in 2025 for preservation purposes. For more information, please refer to the thesis  “Constraints and opportunities for integrated multifunctional forest management in the Cairngorms region of Scotland” via ORO.Scottish forestry policy promotes integrated multifunctional forestry and continued forest expansion, and the private forestry sector is key to achieving these goals. However, a variety of factors can constrain multifunctional forestry, particularly in upland areas. Management objectives for private forests are also not always widely known and the potential impacts of government policy, and particularly conservation designations, on the delivery of multifunctional forestry have not been explored. Furthermore, the effects of landownership on forest management are unclear. The key aim of this research was to evaluate how forests and woodlands in the Cairngorms are being managed, and to determine the main constraints and opportunities to the further application of a multifunctional approach to forest management in the region at various scales.The research incorporated GIS analysis, a postal questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews. A typology was developed which identified three key management themes: sustainable multifunctional management; restricted functionality forestry; and dual function management. Forest owner preferences, economic concerns, government policy and the wider land use context all influence forest management. No consistent relationship was evident between specific types of landownership and forest management functionality. A link was apparent between species and structural diversity and forest multifunctionality. Overall, 'social' objectives were relatively weak, particularly for private forests, while 'environmental' objectives were consistently strong and 'productive/ economic' objectives varied in importance.The themes of constraint and opportunity were: spatial fragmentation and integration; forestry markets; bureaucracy and policy integration; public pressure and public support; and unpredictability and forest resource resilience. Many constraints result from temporal, spatial and organizational scale mis-matches between social and natural systems. The matching up of scales at the management, organizational and market levels and the treatment of forests as complex social-ecological systems is recommended. Further recommendations include: further land management integration; increased policy regionalization; timber market localization; and enhanced long-term planning.

NSF grant #ARC-0806506: "Modeling patch-scale expansion of shrubs." Dr. David M. Cairns is the Principal Investigator and is a Professor of Geography in the Department of Geography at Texas A&M University Adam T. Naito is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at Texas A&M University, working under the supervision of Dr. Cairns. The expansion of shrubs in the northern Brooks Range and North Slope uplands is a phenomenon that has occurred over much of the 20th century. Its historic spatial characteristics and environmental influences, however, remain understudied. Naito's dissertation research addresses this issue in two ways by developing: 1) time-series maps of historic shrub expansion based upon vertical aerial photographs (acquired from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources and Observing System (EROS)) and high-resolution satellite imagery, and 2) a spatially-explicit, stochastic simulation model that simulates shrub expansion based upon parameters relating to topographically-derived hydrological characteristics, shrub growth rates, and reproductive characteristics. Analysis of the model output results will foster hypothesis generation regarding environmental influences on shrub expansion. This archive contains compressed GeoTIFFs of the time-series maps of shrub expansion created for the grant award noted above. These are suitable for display in any GIS that will recognize GeoTIFF format files.These maps were generated using an semi-automatic unsupervised ISODATA classification of historic black-and-white, color-infrared, and high-resolution satellite imagery (IKONOS/GeoEye/QuickBird). Classification was manually corrected to remove shadows, non-shrub features, etc. that may have been classified as shrub.

This is very important for studying in PhD

This dataset was developed as part of a PhD research work titled 'Multi-dimensional description of the environment at the territorial scale : contribution to researching environmental determinants in the etiology of chronic diseases' (Paumelle, 2023). This work also aligns with two research projects: (i) ‘Ecologic historic and environnemental influence in Crohn Disease' funded by the French National Research Agency (CROPS/ANR-20-CE34-0015); and (ii) ‘Health and Environment: from territorial to individual risk' funded by the I-SITE ULNE Foundation (R-PILOTE-01 SANTE et ENVIRONNEMENT project). Finally, this dataset was notably used to develop a territorial typology and define the environmental profiles of municipalities in Northern France. The associated publication, is as follows: Paumelle et al., 2023. The dataset provides an integrated description of the physical and outdoor environment at the municipal level in four French departments: Nord (59), Pas-de-Calais (62), Somme (80), and Seine-Maritime (76). In total, the dataset incorporates 109 spatial indicators characterizing the environmental dimensions of the 3,041 municipalities within the study area. The administrative boundaries used are based on the 2016 edition of the French National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN). The source databases used are exclusively open-access. A total of 23 different databases were used. Regardless of their original format, these datasets were processed to generate spatial indicators at the municipal scale. In the final dataset, three types of indicators can be distinguished: (i) indicators integrated as-is without significant manipulation of raw data; (ii) indicators requiring simple normalization steps (e.g., scaling by municipal surface area or population); and (iii) indicators calculated through more complex processing. These operations were performed using QGIS (QGIS Development Team, 2021) or the R software (R Core Team, 2021), depending on the complexity. This dataset provides an integrated description of the physical environment through 109 spatial indicators divided into seven sub-dimensions: (i) contamination levels of environmental media (air, water, soil); (ii) pollutant emission levels; (iii) proximity to emission sources; (iv) land use; (v) agricultural practices; (vi) territorial naturalness; (vii) climate. These indicators help characterize human activities such as industry, agriculture, and transport. They also describe the pressures these activities exert on the environment, including pollution (air, water, soil), emissions, land artificialization, and climate change. Additionally, environmental amenities are captured through indicators of territorial naturalness. The objective of this work is to provide insights for reusing open environmental data. The data management steps and protocols developed to generate all spatial indicators are detailed in the second chapter of the thesis manuscript (Paumelle, 2023). This chapter also includes a critical perspective on the dataset (e.g., quality of source data, interpretative limitations of indicators). For appropriate use of the dataset, consulting this information beforehand is strongly recommended. Initially, the dataset was developed to explore the relationship between environment and health, particularly for studying Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). This explains why the spatial coverage of the dataset coincides with that of the EPIMAD registry, the only French health registry dedicated to IBD (Gower-Rousseau et al., 1994). However, this work could be extended geographically since all selected open-access databases are theoretically available nationwide. To facilitate the adoption and reuse of this dataset, two file formats are provided: (i) a GIS-compatible format titled 'Data - GIS Format.gpkg'; and (ii) a spreadsheet format titled 'Data - Spreadsheet Format.tab'. Additionally, a list of all indicators produced is provided, along with a brief description of each: 'List and Description of Indicators.pdf'. This document is concise, and it is recommended to refer to Chapter 2 of the thesis manuscript for more detailed information.
