This map layer contains a natural-earth image of the conterminous United States. The image is land cover in natural colors combined with shaded relief, which produces a naturalistic rendition of the Earth's surface. The data set is in an Albers Equal-Area Conic projection. The Natural Earth data were produced from existing National Atlas land cover, tree canopy, elevation, and satellite view data.

Summary
Description
This geodatabase contains the spatial datasets that represent the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system in the States of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Included are: (1) polygon extents; datasets that represent the aquifer system extent, the entire extent subdivided into subareas or subunits, and any polygon extents of special interest (no data available, areas underlying other aquifers, anomalies, for example), (2) raster datasets for the altitude of each aquifer subarea or subunit, (3) altitude, and/or if applicable, thickness contours used to generate the surface rasters, (4) georeferenced images of the figures that were digitized to create the altitude or thickness contours. The images and digitized contours are supplied for reference. The extent of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system encompasses all subunits. It is delineated from the linework of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system extent and outcrop maps of the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Atlas 730-E (USGS HA 730-E) , available at http://water.usgs.gov/ogw/NatlAqCode-reflist.html . Included are the "no data available" extent polygons where there were no altitude data available for the bottom surface of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system. These were digitized from USGS HA-730-E, figure 81, and U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4116 (USGS WRIR 85-4116), plate 9, and U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Paper 91-4071 (USGS WRIR 91-4071), plate 1. The Edwards-Trinity aquifer system has three aquifer subunits, but for the purposes of this geodatabase only the ultimate top and bottom surface rasters are published. The altitudes for the top surface raster are from georeferenced images of altitude contours from USGS HA-730-E, figures 84, 98 and 114, and USGS WRIR 85-4116, plate 8. In the areas where the Edwards-Trinity top surface underlies the Pecos River alluvial aquifer (USGS HA 730-E, Pecos River Basin alluvial aquifer), and the High Plains aquifer (see USGS HA 730-E, High Plains aquifer), the altitude of the bottom those two aquifers is the top of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system. The altitudes of the bottom surface raster are from georeferenced images of altitude contours from USGS HA-730-E figure 81, USGS WRIR 85-4116 plate 9, and USGS WRIR 91-4071 plate 1. The altitude contours were interpolated into surface rasters within a GIS using tools that create hydrologically correct surfaces from contour data, derives the altitude from the thickness (depth from the land surface) if necessary, and merges the subareas into a single surface. The primary tool was "Topo to Raster" used in ArcGIS, ArcMap, Esri 2014. ArcGIS Desktop: Release 10.2 Redlands, CA: Environmental Systems Research Institute.

The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the UTM projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.

The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The purpose of this file is to provide the geography for the 2010 Census Blocks along with their 2010 housing unit count and population. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.

Originally designed to contain data for vessels that are greater than five net tons and have a current US Coast Guard documentation number. Beginning in 1979, the NMFS initiated a system to conduct an annual survey to inventory all of the vessels that actively fished in commercial fisheries during the previous calendar year. The survey is conducted by port agents that are located at fishing port throughout the Southeast Region. They record the physical information about the vessels, e.g., length, age, horsepower, etc., as well as gathering information about the fishing characteristics of the vessels, e.g., type and amount of gear, number of crew, etc. Often the physical characteristics of the vessels are retrieved from the data maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard as part of their vessel documentation program. In recent years, much of the fishing characteristics are retrieved from either state trip ticket and/or logbook data. In 2005 the data tables were altered to include vessels with a state registration number as well as those with a U.S. Coast Guard documentation number.

NRS 2013-14 (http://www.nrsweb.org) is a cross-sectional study that is designed to monitor performance accountability for the federally funded, state-administered adult education program. States will be required to submit their progress in adult education and literacy activities by reporting data on core indicators of outcomes on all adult learners who receive 12 or more hours of service as well as state expenditures on the adult education program. States can also report on additional, optional secondary measures that include outcomes related to employment, family, and community. The study will be conducted using a web-based reporting system of states. NRS 2013-14 is a universe survey, and all states are expected to submit data. Key statistics that will be produced from the study include student demographics, receipt of secondary school diploma or general education development (GED) certificate, placement in postsecondary education or training, educational gain, and employment placement and retention.

In the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010, there was concern about the risk to human health through consumption of contaminated seafood from the region. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in collaboration with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency, and Gulf Coast States, worked together to ensure that seafood from the Gulf of Mexico was safe to eat by developing seafood safety criteria, monitoring procedures, re-opening protocols, as well as seafood surveillance monitoring plans. As part of this seafood safety assessment, edible tissues of seafood collected in state and federal waters were tested for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dispersants using sensory testing, as well as chemical analyses. To increase the analytical capacities of laboratories testing seafood from the Gulf, the FDA developed and validated high-performance liquid chromatography/fluorescence and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methods (in conjunction with NOAA) that accurately and precisely measured chemical compounds, including dispersants, associated with this oil spill event. Thousands of seafood samples collected during reopening and surveillance in the Gulf, as well as those obtained dockside and in the marketplace, have been analyzed using these methods. This dataset includes information on levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dispersant component dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate in edible tissues of commercially and recreationally important seafood species collected in Federal waters in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
