  1. Title: Coral Reefs on Eastern Coast of Kenya, 2006

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile represents coral reefs on the eastern coast of Kenya. These data were acquired from 'KenSea, Environmental Sensitivity Atlas for Coastal Area of Kenya,' published by the Geological Survey of Denmark (GEUS) (2006). To protect the ecological integrity of Kenya’s coral reefs, the government has designated six marine reserves — Kisite, Kiunga, Malindi, Mombasa, Mpunguti, and Watamu — encompassing a significant portion of the reef and its surrounding waters. This data was used in Map 6.4 and Map 6.5 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, and the United Nations Development Programme of Kenya. (2006). Coral Reefs on Eastern Coast of Kenya, 2006. GEUS. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/kb118sw6233 The full report is available at http://www.geus.dk/program-areas/nature-environment/international/reports/kensea/kensea_rapport.pdf.

  14. Title: North American Atlas - Bathymetry (Lines)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile shows bathymetric contours with depth in metres for ocean areas covered by the extent of the North American Atlas project. Isobaths (lines of equal depth) are provided for sea level (coastline, with depth = 1), 200, 500, and 2500 metres. Polygons bounded by these isobaths represent depth ranges of 0-200, 200-500, 500-2500, and greater than 2500 metres.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile includes neighborhood boundaries supplied by Zillow.com, the Los Angeles Times and the City of Denver, and variables related to (A) parks, open space, greenness, and "pavedness" (impervious surface) together with (B) a number of demographic variables from the 2010 U.S. census. The project, titled City Nature (http://citynature.stanford.edu) was undertaken by researchers at Stanford University, led by Jon Christensen. This data was developed by Karl Grossner, assisted by Noemi Alvarez.This dataset is the product of a 2013 study seeking to explain the significant variation in areas of parks, open space and "park-level greenness" in 38 large U.S. cities, at the scale of neighborhoods.

  19. Title: Cosmogenic Exposure Ages, Alaska Palaeo-Glacier Atlas

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile contains cosmogenic exposure ages from late and early Wisconsinan drift linked to references in the geospatial database. Most 10Be and 26Al ages use the same or very similar production rate. All 36Cl ages use the same production rates. Refer to original reference for all details of age and scaling calculations, in addition to how authors handle erosion rate and snow shielding.This report is an update of the Alaska PalaeoGlacier Atlas. It includes information published since 2002 and is based on a more detailed map scale. In addition to the all-time maximum extent of former glaciers and the late Wisconsinan extent, this update includes the mapped limit for the penultimate glaciation, which generally occurred during the early Wisconsinan. The update also includes a compilation of cosmogenic exposure ages linked to the geospatial database. The Alaska PalaeoGlacier Atlas is a geospatial summary of Pleistocene glaciation across Alaska. Our goal is a comprehensive and consistent overview of former glacier limits across Alaska. Our hope is to facilitate outreach, education, and interdisciplinary research in the fields of geology, geography, biology, and natural history.

  20. Title: Late Wisconsinan Glacier Limits, Alaska Palaeo-Glacier Atlas

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile represents the Late Wisconsinan glacier linits (extent). Pleistocene glaciers once covered >1,200,000 km2, from the continental shelf bordering the North Pacific to the northern foothills of the Brooks Range. Late Wisconsin glaciers occupied 727,800 km2 -- nearly ten times the area of modern glaciers, but only 48% of the state. Alaska's glaciers expanded more than 20 times during the last 3 million years in response to cold and snowy conditions. During the late Wisconsin glaciation, when sea level fell approximately 125 m (approx. 400 ft), the Bering Land Bridge was exposed as a broad tundra plain, and much of the state escaped glaciation due to a cold but dry climate. Deposition and erosion by glaciers in the recent geologic past have greatly influenced Alaska's landscapes and ecosystems. This report is an update of the Alaska PalaeoGlacier Atlas. It includes information published since 2002 and is based on a more detailed map scale. In addition to the all-time maximum extent of former glaciers and the late Wisconsinan extent, this update includes the mapped limit for the penultimate glaciation, which generally occurred during the early Wisconsinan.
