The site is a node of the NSDI and is hosted by the DNR. Data are available via download or on CD-ROM.
Geological Survey of Alabama Posted on September 23, 2004 The Geological Survey of Alabama, established in 1848, provides service and information to Alabama and its citizens as a natural resource data gathering and research agency. The GSA has developed and maintains a National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Isite Node of the National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse making Alabama data products available.
UNEP GEO Data Portal Posted on September 22, 2004 The GEO Data Portal is the authoritative source for data sets used by UNEP and its partners in the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) report and other integrated environment assessments. The online database of statistics and spatial data hold information on more than 400 variables.
Web Fire Mapper Posted on September 20, 2004 The Web Fire Mapper system displays active ). Users can easily view customized maps of active fires for the world or for selected regions... best of all, this site also serves up loads of International data via free download.
Studies tell us that if a Category 4 hurricane hit the central east coast of Florida, 49 percent to 78 percent of the dunes that front the coast have the potential to be inundated by storm surge. In order to analyze and predict the changes to the coastline the USGS depends on Coastal and Nearshore Mapping with Scanning Airborne Laser (Lidar)
Spotlight on Data... The TOPO! State Series Posted on August 26, 2004 You may be familiar with the monthly magazine and with the Map Machine, however, the NGS sells value-added USGS data products at a bargain price! Designed for ease of use, the Topo! State series from the NGS integrates seamless USGS quads (1:24,000 or 7.5') into your GIS application or project.
Working with DEMs in ArcGIS Posted on August 23, 2004 Geomatics Systems Inc. has released this new tool for ArcGIS users. Grid Translator Pro (GTP) for ArcGIS translates a wide range of raster DEM formats (SRTM, GTOPO30, USGS SDTS, Erdas, Vertical Mapper, Geotiff, Idrisi, Surfer, etc.) easily for use in ArcGIS.
Global Landcover Classification Data 2000 Available Posted on July 21, 2004 The Global Vegetation Monitoring Unit (GVM) unit of the JRC has produced a new global landcover classification for the year 2000 (GLC2000), in collaboration with over 30 research teams from around the world. The project was carried out to provide accurate baseline landcover information to the International Conventions on Climate Change, the Convention to Combat Desertification, the Ramsar Convention and the Kyoto Protocol. These data are freely available for download by registered users.
National Land Cover Characterization Posted on July 20, 2004 The National Land Cover Characterization 2001 (NLCD 2001) database is being compiled across all 50 states and Puerto Rico as a cooperative mapping effort of the MRLC 2001 Consortium. This land cover database is being created using mapping zones and contains standardized land cover components useful for a variety of applications.
