  13. Title: Global GIS : Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) data in ArcView Shape File Format, for Spacial Data Delivery Project, 1999

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a point coverage representing metallic and non-metallic mineral resources worldwide. This data was derived from the Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) data in ArcView Shape File Format, for Spatial Data Delivery Project, 1999 (Edition: Version 1.1) and was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). MRDS contains variable-length records of metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources of the world. A record contains descriptive information about mineral deposits and mineral commodities. The types of information in the data base include deposit name, location, commodity, deposit description, geologic characteristics, production, reserves, potential resources, and references. The Mineral Resource Data System master database is not accessible via the WWW. The large number of multi-valued fields make it difficult to import all the fields into a data format that can be utilized by the ArcView Internet Map Server Software. This dataset contains all MRDS locations, but only 44 of the possible 226 fields. A data structure was created in Access 97. Data was imported into the file structure and then processed into Arc View, where it was transformed into shape files that are used by the IMS software to serve the MRDS data and permit access via the www. 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.

  16. Title: Global GIS : Global 5-degree latitude/longitude grid lines (including geographically significant lines)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This dataset is a polyline coverage representing a 5-degree by 5-degree global latitude and longitude grid, including geographically significant lines such as the Equator, the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, the Arctic and Antarctic circles, and the International Date Line. Each polyline has an associated latitude or longitude attribute value so that grid lines can be selected to display at any 5-degree value. An earlier version of this dataset appears in ESRI's ArcWorld Supplement (1996). This version of the dataset 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.

  19. Title: Global GIS : Earthquake epicenters (1973-2003)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a point coverage representing earthquake epicenters (1973 through March, 2003). Historical data for this layer were derived from: USGS/NEIC, 1973- March 2003: (PDE) Preliminary Determinations of Epicenters, Monthly Listing. This list is the most complete computation of hypocenters and magnitudes done by the USGS NEIC. It is normally produced a few months after the events occur. The publication is called 'Preliminary' because the 'final' computation of hypocenters for the world is considered to be the Bulletin of the Internation Seismological Centre (ISC), which is produced about two years after the earthquakes occur. The NEIC PDE program contributes about one-third off all data used by the ISC.

  20. Title: Global GIS : World gazetteer (major cities)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a point coverage representing major cities worldwide based on information from the GNS (GEOnet Names Server). For global (non-U.S.) cities, the GNS data was supplemented by the ESRI Data & Maps (2000) World Cities layer. For United States cities, the GNS data was supplemented by data from the GNIS (Geographic Names Information System). This dataset was published as part of the USGS Global GIS : global coverage database (2003). The GEOnet Names Server provides access to the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (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.
