Black Rail- Potential Habitat Under Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) Conditions Changes in tidal marsh area and habitat type in response to sea-level rise were modeled using the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM 6) that accounts for the dominant processes involved in wetland conversion and shoreline modifications during long-term sea level rise (Park et al. 1989; Successive versions of the model have been used to estimate the impacts of sea level rise on the coasts of the U.S. The model was produced by Warren Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The SLAMM version 6 technical document can be accessed at http://warrenpinacle.com/prof/SLAMM. SLAMM outputs were converted from raster to vector features. Land cover (wetland) types were generalized to MesoHabitat...

Potential Habitat Use for the Long-billed Curlew in the Central Texas Coast The Comprehensive Habitat Type Dataset was developed by merging NOAA Benthic Habitat Atlas (BHA), Ecological Mapping Systems of Texas (aka Texas Ecological Systems Database, TESD), and National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) data within the study area for the ICF 2012 project (CGP LCC 2012-002 Employing the Conservation Design Approach on Sea-Level Rise Impacts on Coastal Avian Habitats along the Central Texas Coast). BHA data was used to depict mangroves, oysters, and patchy, continuous, and discontinuous seagrass beds where BHA existed within the study area. NWI data was used for all wetland/intertidal environments where NWI data existed within the study area. TESD data was used for all upland environments, and weltand/intertidal...

0 - 1m Elevation Contour for the Central Texas Coast County- wide DEMs at 5m resolution were provided by TNRIS and mosaicked clipped to the study area. This DEM was then used to develop 1- and 2- meter contours to assist in evaluating potential sea level rise scenarios in areas not covered by the SLAMM model run. A low-pass filter was first applied to the DEM to remove any major outliers within the elevation raster. The DEM was then reclassified according to elevation, separating the DEM into 4 classes: minimum elevation up to 0 m, between 0 m and 1m, between 1 m and 2m, and above 2 m. This reclassified raster was then converted to a polygon feature class. Polygons representing 0-1 m and 1 – 2 m were then exported separately, and these were used as 1 and 2 meter elevation...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
