This data set provides a collection of vegetation, landscape, geobotanical, elevation, hydrology, and geologic maps for the Kuparuk River Basin, North Slope, Alaska. The maps cover either (1) the entire Kuparuk River Basin, from the headwaters on the north side of the Brooks Range to the Beaufort Sea coast, or (2) the selected Upper Kuparuk River Region including the Toolik Lake and Imnavait Creek research areas. The maps were produced from imagery and existing geobotanical maps covering the period 1976-08-04 to 2008-12-31.

This dataset provides 30m resolution maps of the fraction of green vegetation within tidal marshes for six estuarine regions of the conterminous United States: Cape Cod, MA; Chesapeake Bay, MD; Everglades, FL; Mississippi Delta, LA; San Francisco Bay, CA; and Puget Sound, WA. Maps were derived from a 1m classification of 2013 to 2015 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) images as tidal marsh green vegetation, non-vegetation, and open water. Using this high-resolution map, the percent of each class within Landsat pixel extents was calculated to produce a 30m fraction of green vegetation map for each region.

Sentinel-1 performs systematic acquisition of bursts in both IW and EW modes. The bursts overlap almost perfectly between different passes and are always located at the same place. With the deployment of the SAR processor S1-IPF 3.4, a new element has been added to the products annotations: the Burst ID, which should help the end user to identify a burst area of interest and facilitate searches. The Burst ID map is a complementary auxiliary product. The maps have a validity that covers the entire time span of the mission and they are global, i.e., they include as well information where no SAR data is acquired. Each granule contains information about burst and sub-swath IDs, relative orbit and burst polygon, and should allow for an easier link between a certain burst ID in a product and its corresponding geographic location.

This dataset provides global salt marsh change, including loss and gain for five-year periods from 2000-2019. Loss and gain at a 30 m spatial resolution were estimated with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) anomaly algorithm using Landsat 5, 7, and 8 collections within the known extent of salt marshes. The data are provided in cloud-optimized GeoTIFF format.

This data set provides a collection of maps of geoecological characteristics of areas within the Beechey Point quadrangle near Prudhoe Bay on the North slope of Alaska: a geobotanical atlas of the Prudhoe Bay region, a land cover map of the Beechey Point quadrangle, and cumulative impact maps in the Prudhoe Bay Oilfield for ten dates from 1968 to 2010. The geobotanical atlas is based on aerial photographs and covers 145 square kilometers of the Prudhoe Bay Oilfield. The land cover map of the Beechey Point quadrangle was derived from the Landsat multispectral scanner, aerial photography, and other field and cartographic methods. The cumulative impact maps of the Prudhoe Bay Oilfield show historical infrastructure and natural changes digitized from aerial photos taken in each successive analysis year (1968, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1977, 1979, 1983, 1990, 2001, and 2010). Nine geoecological attributes are included: dominant vegetation, secondary vegetation, tertiary vegetation, percentage open water, landform, dominant surface form, secondary surface form, dominant soil, and secondary soil. These data document environmental changes in an Arctic region that is affected by both climate change and rapid industrial development.

This dataset contains georeferenced InSAR-derived water level change maps for Delta-X flight lines acquired during the spring (2021-03-27 to 2021-04-18) and fall (2021-09-03 to 2021-09-13) deployments. Water-level change observations are provided throughout wetlands of the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne Basins, in Southern Louisiana, USA, within the Mississippi River Delta (MRD). The data were collected by Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR), a polarimetric L-band synthetic aperture radar flown on the NASA Gulfstream-III (C20) aircraft as part of the Delta-X campaign. Water surface elevations were measured on multiple flights at 30-minute intervals. There are three types of gridded products available: temporalcoherence (which provide an index measuring quality of phase unwrapping ranging from 0 (poor) to 1 (correctly unwrapped)), waterlevelchange in centimeters (which provide cumulative changes in water levels at approximately 30-minute intervals), and waterlevelchange_ramp in centimeters (which provide a 2-dimensional linear trend in water-level estimates not related to changing water levels). The water-level change maps were estimated using the phase unwrapping corrected interferograms generated for nearest-neighbor (NN), NN+1, and NN+2 pairs for data acquired within a single flight (one day). This analysis was done for all flight lines. Water level changes are relative to the first sampling flight for that study area. Data quality was assessed by comparing water elevation estimates with data from in situ water level gauges throughout the study area. A series of quality assurance masks of troposphere-induced phase delay regions were generated for all SAR acquisition dates using a weather feature matching algorithm.

This dataset contains UAVSAR Level 1B (L1B) interferometric products for Delta-X flight lines acquired during the 2021 Spring (2021-03-27 to 2021-04-18) and Fall (2021-09-03 to 2021-09-13) deployments. The data were collected by Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR), a polarimetric L-band synthetic aperture radar flown on the NASA Gulfstream-III (C20) aircraft as part of the Delta-X campaign. The study area includes the Atchafalaya Basin, in Southern Louisiana, USA, within the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) floodplain. Repeat pass interferometric synthetic aperture (InSAR) data are a standard UAVSAR product delivered by the UAVSAR processing team. For this dataset, a set of nearest-neighbor (NN), NN+1, and NN+2 co-registered VV-polarization interferograms were generated from the quad-polarization SLC stack level-1 (L1) product using a combination of the InSAR Scientific Computing Environment (ISCE), the statistical-cost, network-flow algorithm for phase unwrapping (SNAPHU), and previously developed python code. Data quality was assessed by comparing water elevation estimates with data from in situ water level gauges throughout the study area. The data are provided in non-georeferenced ENVI file format and include interferometric amplitude, wrapped interferometric phase, interferometric coherence, and unwrapped interferometric phase products. Geometry files for each flight line per field campaign with latitude, longitude, height and incidence angle information are also included. The goal of this campaign was to measure water-level changes throughout wetlands, and these data may be used to generate time series of water levels. The data are provided in ENVI format.

This dataset provides sediment concentration and grain size distribution measurements from suspended and bed sediment samples collected in the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne River Basins as part of the Delta-X Spring campaign between March 24 to April 2, 2021 and Delta-X Fall campaign between August 17-25, 2021. During the field campaign, samples were collected in the main distributary channels and the interior of Mike Island in the Wax Lake Delta, Louisiana and at site CRMS0421 inside the Terrebonne River Basin. Sediment samples were collected from a boat using a Van Dorn sampler (for suspended sediment samples) or a Ponar bed sampler (for bed samples). Suspended sediment samples were collected from a boat drifting at approximately the same velocity as the water flow. One sample was collected per drift. Bed samples were collected in a similar fashion. Data includes measurements of sediment grain size, total sediment concentration, as well as water temperature, velocity, salinity, and depth. This Version 2 includes the initial release of Fall 2021 data and an update to the Version 1 (Spring 2021) data file in which an error in the data was resolved.
