This dataset is comprised of 11 geo-referenced aerial images of two study areas (Teshekpuk Lake Special Area and the Chipp River) in the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPRA) on Alaska's Arctic Coastal Plain. The images are from aerial photo survey flown by NASA in 1974, 1977, 1979 and obtained from the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center using the USGS EarthExplorer website in 2013. The images represent a historical snapshot of the landscape from that time.
This dataset is comprised of one geo-referenced aerial image from the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPRA) on Alaska's Arctic Coastal Plain taken on 21 June 1955 by the U.S. Air Force and obtained from the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center using the USGS EarthExplorer website in 2013. The image represents a historical snapshot of the landscape from that time.
This dataset provides a digital elevation model mosaic derived from airborne lidar data acquired in 2018 from September 2–3 over eight separate areas along Alaska's Montague Island coast, between Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska.
WildCast (WILDlife Potential Habitat ForeCASTing Project) is a completed project led by USGS, in collaboration with the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service. This aerial photographic transect project of northwest Alaska, acquired photographs, videos, and associated data, during July 16, 17, and 18, 2013. The images depict land cover types as a baseline for measuring future change and to complement other existing grid-based sample photography of the region. Nadir and oblique images and video were taken of the arctic landscape during low altitude transects conducted from small aircraft over the National Park Service and the Arctic Network (Bering Land Bridge National...
This dataset provides four digital elevation models derived from airborne lidar data acquired over four separate areas along and adjacent to the Fairweather Fault along the remote Gulf of Alaska coast within Glacier Bay National Park. In 1958, the Fairweather Fault in southeast Alaska ruptured over 260 km between Yakutat Bay and Cross Sound, producing the magnitude 7.8 Lituya Bay earthquake. To better understand the extent of surface rupture and identify sites to investigate for evidence of past earthquakes, the USGS Alaska Science Center collaborated with the National Park Service, the Army Corps of Engineers' Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), and the National Center for Airborne Lidar Mapping...
This dataset is comprised of 35 geo-referenced aerial images of four study areas (Teshekpuk Lake Special Area, Chipp River, Colville River Delta, and Dalton Highway Corridor) on Alaska's Arctic Coastal Plain. The images are from aerial photo surveys flown in 1948-1949 and obtained from the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center using the USGS EarthExplorer website. The images represent a historical snapshot of the landscape from that time.
