Summary

This dataset is part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative. The GLCWRA initiative uses principles of geodesign to identify coastal wetland areas that have the greatest potential for habitat restoration. The data model uses the following seven primary parameters to identify and rank wetland restoration areas. The parameters are: Parameter 0: Water Parameter 1: Hydroperiod Parameter 2: Wetland Soils Parameter 3: Flowlines Parameter 4: Conservation and Recreation Lands Parameter 5: Impervious Surfaces Parameter 6: Land Use (represents developed areas without impervious surfaces but high societal value) The ancillary data include dikes, degree flowlines, study area [...]

Purpose

This data release represents the input layers and model results for the Lake Ontario Restoration Assessment of GLCWRA. The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) is an over $4B U.S. congressional investment in the restoration of Great Lakes ecosystems. Restoration goals of the GLRI include the functional restoration of Great Lakes coastal wetlands (Great Lakes Restoration Initiative 2010; 2014). The data were collected in order to model, using a geodesign approach, the restorability of coastal wetlands and to help managers prioritize future restoration projects. The restorability model developed by New College and USGS uses a detailed terrain, historical lake levels, national soils, wetlands, land use, and land cover data as important factors to consider within the model. This dataset was created with methodology outlined at https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/.
