  13. Title: Global GIS : Gazetteer of populated places, Eastern Hemisphere

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a point coverage representing a gazetteer of populated place features located between the Greenwich meridian (0 degrees) and 180 degrees east of the Greenwich meridian, encompassing the Eastern Hemisphere, excluding Antarctica. Features and attributes were derived from the GNS (GEOnet Names Server) and include populated place names. The GEOnet Names Server provides access to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) (formerly the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA)) database of foreign geographic feature names. Approximately 20,000 of the database's 3.5 million features are updated monthly with names information approved by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (US BGN). The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and The American Geological Institute (AGI) announced a cooperative agreement that will focus on making the USGS Global Geographic Information System (GIS) database readily available to educators and the general public in the form of a DVD based world atlas.

  14. Title: Global GIS : Geology of the conterminous United States at 1:2,500,000 scale : Geology

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a polygon coverage representing geologic regions of the conterminous United States. It is a digital version of the geology features of H.M. Beikman and P.B. King's Geologic Map of the United States, originally published at a scale of 1:2,500,000 (1974). This version of the datalayer was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million.

  16. Title: Global GIS : Drainage Basins

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a polygon coverage representing hydrologic drainage basins located worldwide. The data displayed here is derived from the HYDRO 1K Elevation Derivative Database. The drainage basins distributed with the HYDRO1k data set suite are derived using the vector stream networks along with the flow direction data set. Each polygon in the basin data set has been tagged with a Pfafstetter code uniquely identifying each sub-basin. HYDRO1k, developed at the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) EROS Data Center, is a geographic database providing comprehensive and consistent global coverage of topographically derived data sets. Developed from the USGS' recently released 30 arc-second digital elevation model (DEM) of the world (GTOPO30), HYDRO1k provides a standard suite of geo-referenced data sets (at a resolution of 1 km) that will be of value for all users who need to organize, evaluate, or process hydrologic information on a continental scale.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a polyline coverage representing geologic faults of the conterminous United States. It is a digital version of the fault features of H.M. Beikman and P.B. King's Geologic Map of the United States, originally published at a scale of 1:2,500,000 (1974). This version of the datalayer was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003).

  18. Title: Global GIS : Geologic map (excluding the United States)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a polygon coverage showing U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces of the World, excluding the United States. It was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). The World Energy Assessment created geologic maps of 7 regions. These regions were joined with minimum edge matching or checking for feature description by the Global GIS team. The user is warned there will be discrepancies on bordering features. The regions are described in the Geologic Provinces of the World full metadata files. Canada, Mexico and Central America, and the Europe tiles were screen digitized by the Global GIS team. These were approximately located and should be used as a geologic guide. The US and Alaskan Geologic Maps were kept as separate layers to allow the use the apply their original legends. The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and The American Geological Institute (AGI) announced a cooperative agreement that will focus on making the USGS Global Geographic Information System (GIS) database readily available to educators and the general public in the form of a DVD based world atlas.

  19. Title: Global GIS : Alaska Geology

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a polygon coverage with associated attributes representing geologic regions of Alaska. It is a digital version of the geology features of the 1980 Geologic Map of Alaska compiled by Helen M. Beikman, and prepared in cooperation with State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys. It was published by the U.S. Geological Survey. This version of the datalayer was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). The map is a regional summary of geologic formations and units that can be shown cartographically at 1:2,500,000. This digital dataset includes all (184) map units from the original map. 182 are geologic units; the others are polygons for large glaciers and lakes. This coverage is not intended to be a complete representation of the printed geologic map. It does NOT include the following features: faults, locations of volcanoes or volcanic vents, the map explanation, correlation charts or description of map units. The USGS Global GIS database contains a wealth of USGS and other public domain data, including global coverages of elevation, landcover, seismicity, and resources of minerals and energy at a nominal scale of 1:1 million.
