Forest disturbances in Europe mapped at high spatial detail and in near-real-time: Logging in protected Estonian forests
<p><strong>Data description</strong></p> <p>These datasets were generated for the Geostory "Forest disturbances in Europe mapped at high spatial detail and in near-real-time: Logging in protected Estonian forests" in the context of the Open Earth Monitor Cyberinfrastructure project.</p> <p>We used open source high-resolution Sentinel-1 satellite data to develop a wall-to-wall map of forest disturbances in the four-year period between the start of 2020 and end of 2023 in Estonia. First results are presented. The methodology is based on RADD-alerts developed for the pan-tropics (Reiche et al. 2021). Three years (2017-2019) of imagery was used as a historical period, and detections were generated for ~4 years (2020-2023). Winter images from November through March were not included as frozen conditions can introduce false detections. This will be addressed in the next version. Disclaimer: Disturbance maps have not been validated.</p> <p>Two additional layers are provided for visualization: a forest baseline layer (<em>forestcover</em>), masking out non-forest disturbance detections, was derived from Copernicus 10m 2018 forest cover density and GLAD 30m 2019 tree removal datasets, and a protected areas layer (<em>natura</em>), which displays the extent of Natura 2000 coverage in Estonia.</p> <p>'.SLD' files are provided for visualization (note: the <em>disturbance</em> .SLC file must be adjusted to contain appropriate time reference fields).</p> <p><strong>Naming Convention</strong></p> <p>To ensure consistency and ease of use across and within the projects, we follow the standard Open-Earth-Monitor file-naming convention. The convention works with 10 fields that describes important properties of the data. In this way users can search files, prepare data analysis etc, without needing to open files. For instance:</p> <ul> <li>disturbance_radd_c_10m_s_20200101_20200131_eu_epsg.3035_v20240222.tif</li> </ul> <p>with the following fields:</p> <ul> <li>Generic variable name: <strong>disturbance</strong></li> <li>Variable procedure combination i.e. method standard: <strong>radd</strong></li> <li>Position in the probability distribution / variable type: <strong>c</strong></li> <li>Spatial support: <strong>10m</strong></li> <li>Depth reference or depth interval e.g. below ("b"), above ("a") ground or at surface ("s"): <strong>s</strong></li> <li>Time reference begin time (YYYYMMDD): <strong>20200101</strong></li> <li>Time reference end time: <strong>20200131</strong></li> <li>Bounding box (2 letters max): <strong>eu </strong></li> <li>EPSG code: <strong>epsg.3035</strong></li> <li>Version code i.e. creation date: <strong>v20240222</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>Source Data</strong></p> <p>Disturbance maps:</p> <p>Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data [2017-2023] and Generated using European Union's EEA-10 Copernicus DEM; https://doi.org/10.5270/ESA-c5d3d65</p> <p>Forest baseline:</p> <p>Generated using European Union's Copernicus Land Monitoring Service information; https://doi.org/10.2909/486f77da-d605-423e-93a9-680760ab6791 and GLAD tree removal; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2023.113797</p> <p>Natura 2000: </p> <p>Generated using European Environmental Agency's Natura 2000 layers; https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/data/dae737fd-7ee1-4b0a-9eb7-1954eec00c65</p>
Collection of spatial information and maps of human past and environment in the Uralic languages speaker area
<p>The collection of spatial information and maps of the past and environment in the Uralic languages speaker area consists excessive amount of multidisciplinary data related to the vast region extending from Eastern Europe to Siberia, encompassing countries like Russia, Finland, and parts of Scandinavia. Uralic speakers are predominantly found in this region, with historical roots in areas around the Ural Mountains and adjacent territories. These datasets can be integrated for multidisciplinary purposes, allowing to explore human-environment interactions, migration patterns, and cultural evolution over time. Datasets are collected initially by the BEDLAN team <a href="https://bedlan.net/">https://bedlan.net/</a> - a research group specialized in various disciplines - linguists, archaeologists, geneticists, and geographers. The data collection and mapmaking have grown beyond the initial stages (publications, applications, exhibitions), hence collaborative effort for data publishing is now crucial. As the data collections and mapmaking continue to evolve dynamically together with ongoing projects, the current repository will be updated accordingly.</p>

Maps of the detailed spatially and temporally attributed emission for area of Legerova and Sokolska (TURBAN-D18)
<h3>Basic information</h3> <p>This dataset contains six folders with maps of input data for simulations published in project TURBAN as result D17 (see <a href="../records/10982836">https://zenodo.org/records/10982836</a>). Each folder contains air quality inputs for the so-called Legerova domain, an area in the city of Prague, Czech Republic, centred around the traffic-heavy streets Legerova and Sokolská. All times are in UTC (local time in winter, CET, is UTC +01:00, summer time, CEST, is UTC +02:00). In total 6 episodes in 2022 and 2023 were selected:</p> <ol> <li>s1 2022-07-17 00:00:00 - 2022-07-20 00:00:00</li> <li>s2: 2022-08-02 00:00:00 - 2022-08-05 00:00:00</li> <li>s3: 2022-09-22 00:00:00 - 2022-09-25 00:00:00</li> <li>s4: 2022-12-08 00:00:00 - 2022-12-11 00:00:00</li> <li>s5: 2023-01-27 00:00:00 - 2023-01-30 00:00:00</li> <li>s6: 2023-02-13 00:00:00 - 2023-02-16 00:00:00</li> </ol> <p>For more detailed description of the experiments see the <strong>TURBAN</strong> project website at <a href="https://www.project-turban.eu/">https://www.project-turban.eu/</a>.</p> <h3>General organisation, variables and file nomenclature</h3> <p>Each selected epizode (s1-s6) has three subfolders; input files in ASCII (<em>output-ascii</em>) or GeoTiff (<em>output-gis</em>) formats that can be viewed in many GIS applications. In the third subfolder are maps in the PNG format (<em>output-png</em>).</p> <p>Each subfolder includes 4 subfolders with emissions summarized in all layers above ground. Variable <em>vsrc_PM10</em> is the concentration of volume source emissions (VSRC) of the PM10, <em>vsrc_PM25</em> is the concentration of PM2.5, <em>vsrc_NO</em> is the concentration of NO and <em>vsrc_NO2</em> is the concentration of NO2.</p> <p>Each file (PRJ, TIF, ASC or PNG) has the same nomenclature. An example (vsrc_NO_abs-01h_20220717_1200-1300.png) could be parsed as: variable name (vsrc_NO), processed input (abs-01h), date (20220717) and period (1200-1300). So, the result is a map with emission fluxes of NO between 12:00 and 13:00 UTC 24 Jul 2019.</p> <h3>Emissions (see section 2.4.3 in Resler et al., 2024)</h3> <p>The data were processed from datasets published by CHMI, data collected by the Municipality of Prague and its organizations, data obtained by the researcher (ATEM) while providing expert studies in the past, and results of previous research projects. The input data of the used emission sources can be divided into two basic groups: emission from local heating and transport sources.</p> <p>Emissions for local heating were determined by calculations based on data from CHMI and the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO). Emissions from the transport sources were modeled using the MEFA transportation emission model which is recommended for the use in the Czech Republic by the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic. The model takes into account factors such as road gradient, the number of vehicles on the road, the flow of traffic, the composition of car types, and the emission characteristics of the individual car types. The emission calculation is based on data from the traffic census provided by the Prague Technical Administration of Roads (TSK Praha) and on data from the census of the composition of the transportation fleet in Prague built in the MEFA emission model. The data are based on regular surveys of the fleet composition carried out in Prague (Karel et al., 2021). The dust resuspension was computed according to the methodology published by the Ministry of Environment (Karel et. al., 2015). This methodology is based on US EPA methodology AP-42 (EPA, 2011) and was adjusted for the conditions of the Czech Republic. For the garages and parking lots, the results of the project TH03030496 (Karel et al., 2020) were used and for the bus stations, publicly available data about transportation were gathered from the Prague Public Transit Company (DPP).</p> <p>The disaggregation of the annual emissions into hourly intervals was then performed according to the type of source. For combustion sources distribution of emissions to days was done according to natural gas supply profiles for category DOM4 were used (OTE, 2024) and complemented by daily profiles for SNAP 2 (van der Gon, 2011). For transport sources, the census data from TSK Praha was utilized for all streets where it was available. For Legerova and Sokolská streets, hourly traffic intensity data were obtained and used directly for the selected episodes. For streets that were not covered by regular traffic surveys, the spatial and temporal distribution of the traffic intensities were based on analysis and evaluation of the relevant studies for the particular area (e.g. urban planning studies, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), etc.) and combined with information like street type, location, traffic regime, and pavement type. This approach allowed us to specify the distribution of the transportation intensities on smaller streets. For the detailed modeling of emissions from rail transport (diesel locomotives), the data of train rides were obtained from the Railway Administration (SŽ) and emission factors from the EMEP/EEA Air Pollutant Emission Inventory Guidebook 2019 (EEA, 2019) were used. Emissions from river ships were obtained from the CHMI national database and spatially distributed to the area of the river.</p> <p>Spatial transformation of the line and point emission into the corresponding areas was done with the utilization of the surrogates representing corresponding areas (e.g. areas of the street traffic lines and parking places for traffic emission and areas of the building roofs for local heating sources). This not only ensured the reasonable spatial distribution of the emission in the street canyon but also decreased the gradients of the emission field and with this proneness of the model to numerical inaccuracy of the micro-scale model. The processing of the emission sources into hourly emission flows was done in the emission model FUME recently extended for processing of the PALM emission (Belda et al., 2024).</p> <h3>Acknowledgements</h3> <p>The PALM simulations, and pre- and postprocessing were performed partially on the HPC infrastructure of the Institute of Computer Science of the Czech Academy of Sciences (ICS), supported by the long-term strategic development financing of the ICS (RVO:67985807) and partially on the IT4I HPC infrastructure supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic through the e-INFRA CZ (ID:90254).

Development of a global inundation map at high spatial resolution from topographic downscaling of coarse-scale remote sensing data
<p><strong>Overview:</strong> The Global Inundation Extent from Multi-Satellites (GIEMS; Prigent et al. 2007, Papa et al. 2010) downscaled at 15 arc-second (GIEMS-D15; Fluet-Chouinard et al. 2015) was produced through the downscaling of the GIEMS database (natively at 0.25°). The downscaling procedure predicts the location of surface water cover with an inundation ranking surface generated by bagged decision trees. The decision trees were trained on binary presence/absence of wetland in the GLC2000 global land cover map (Bartholomé & Belward 2005) and used 13 topographic and hydrographic predictors derived from the SRTM-derived HydroSHEDS database (Lehner, Verdin & Jarvis 2008). The downscaling technique to three temporal aggregation of the GIEMS dataset representing three states of land surface inundation extents: mean annual minimum (MA<sub>Min</sub>; total area, 6.5 × 106 km<sup>2</sup>), mean annual maximum (MA<sub>Max</sub>; 12.1 × 106 km<sup>2</sup>), and long-term maximum (LT<sub>Max</sub>; 17.3 × 106 km<sup>2</sup>). The area of MAMin and MAMax from GIEMS were supplemented with the minimum area value from lakes, river and reservoirs from GLWD (Lehner & Döll 2004; classes 1,2,3). LTMax was corrected as the mean area from 3-year rolling maximum from GIEMS and the total wetland area from GLWD (classes 1-12). The accuracy of GIEMS-D15 reflects distribution errors introduced by the downscaling process as well as errors from the original satellite estimates. Yet, a comparison against independent regional wetland maps showed adequate agreement over large floodplains and wetlands. GIEMS-D15 offers a higher resolution delineation of inundated areas than originally offered by GIEMS, allowing for the assessment of global freshwater resources and the study of large floodplain and wetland ecosystems.</p> <p><strong>Projection:</strong> WGS84 (EPSG:4326)</p> <p><strong>Geographic extent:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Longitude: -180° to 180°</li> <li>Latitude: -56° to 84°</li> </ul> <p><strong>Spatial resolution: </strong>15 arc-second (500m at equator)</p> <p><strong>Legend</strong> (for discrete pixel values):</p> <ul> <li>0 = Upland</li> <li>1 = Mean Annual Minimum (MA<sub>Min</sub>)</li> <li>2 = Mean Annual Maximum (MA<sub>Max</sub>)</li> <li>3 = Long Term Maximum (LT<sub>Max</sub>)</li> </ul>
SHIFT: A DEM-Based Spatial Heterogeneity Improved Mapping of Global Geomorphic Floodplains
<h2>Description</h2> <p><strong>SHIFT</strong> (Spatial Heterogeneity Improved Floodplain by Terrain analysis) is a 90-m resolution global geomorphic floodplain map based on terrain analysis. It takes MERIT-Hydro as the terrain input and Floodplain Hydraulic Geometry (FHG) as the thresholding scheme, with the scaling parameters estimated by a stepwise framework that both respects the power law and approximates the spatial extent of hydrodynamic modeling. SHIFT effectively captures the global patterns of the geomorphic floodplains, with better regional details than existing data.</p> <h2>Data Structure</h2> <p>We provide 2 resolutions of data for different needs.</p> <ul> <li><strong>SHIFT_v3_90m</strong>: The original SHIFT data derived from MERIT-Hydro, with lakes and reservoirs removed. The resolution is 0.000833333333333 degrees under geographic coordinate system (EPSG:4326), approximately 90 meters at the equator. Pixels with value 1 are floodplains, 2 are lakes and reservoirs and 0 are non-floodplains, with empty values set as 255 (denoting pixels not within any watersheds under the threshold of 1000 km2).</li> <li><strong>SHIFT_v3_1km</strong>: The resampled SHIFT data with lakes and reservoirs marked. The resolution is 0.00833333333333 degrees under geographic coordinate system (EPSG:4326), approximately 1 km at the equator. Pixels with value 1 are floodplains, 2 are lakes and reservoirs and 0 are non-floodplains, with empty values set as 255 (denoting pixels not within any watersheds under the threshold of 1000 km2).</li> </ul> <p>Also, we provide our derived spatially-varying parameters in all Level-3 basins to support future studies. Parameters are provided in a shapefile, with 'a' denotes the proportional parameter and 'b' denotes the exponent. We aggregated MERIT-Basins based on its spatial relationship with basins from Level-3 HydroBASINS, ensuring that the centroid of a MERIT-Basin falls within the corresponding boundary. This approach accounts for slight differences in boundaries due to the use of different terrain data, preventing confusion in hydrological representation.</p> <p>For more details, please refer to:</p> <ul> <li>Zheng, K., Lin, P., and Yin, Z.: SHIFT: a spatial-heterogeneity improvement in DEM-based mapping of global geomorphic floodplains, Earth Syst.

A method for generating coherent spatially explicit maps of seasonal palaeoclimates from site-based reconstructions
<p>Reconstruction of climate anomalies in southern Europe for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ca 21,000 years ago), made by combining pollen based reconstructions (from Bartlein et al. 2011) and averaged outputs of LGM simulations from the 3rd round of the Palaeoclimate Model Intercomparison Project (PMIP, Braconnot et al. 2011), under a variational data assimilation technique. Reconstructions made using this technique are designed to be used for data-model comparison, specifically against the results of PMIP4. The dataset consists of 6 variables: moisture index (the ratio precipitation and equilibrium evapotranspiration), mean annual precipitation (mm), mean annual temperature (degrees C), mean temperature of the coldest month (degrees C), mean temperature of the warmest month (degrees C), growing degree days above 5 degrees C (day degrees C). The standard deviation of these variables is also given.</p>

IVMOOC 2017 - GloBI Data for Interactive Tableau Map of Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Interactions
<p>Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI, www.globalbioticinteractions.org) provides an infrastructure and data service that aggregates and archives known biotic interaction databases to provide easy access to species interaction data. This project explores the coverage of GloBI data against known taxonomic catalogues in order to <em>identify ‘gaps’ in knowledge of species interactions</em>. We examine the richness of GloBI’s datasets using itself as a frame of reference for comparison and explore interaction networks according to geographic regions over time. The resulting analysis and visualizations intend to provide insights that may help to enhance GloBI as a resource for research and education.</p> <p>Spatial and temporal biotic interactions data were used in the construction of an interactive Tableau map. The raw data (IVMOOC 2017 GloBI <em>Kingdom</em> Data Extracted 2017 04 17.csv) was extracted from the project-specific SQL database server. The raw data was clean and preprocessed (IVMOOC 2017 GloBI Cleaned Tableau Data.csv) for use in the Tableau map. Data cleaning and preprocessing steps are detailed in the companion paper.</p> <p>The <strong>interactive Tableau map</strong> can be found here: https://public.tableau.com/profile/publish/IVMOOC2017-GloBISpatialDistributionofInteractions/InteractionsMapTimeSeries#!/publish-confirm</p> <p>The<strong> companion paper</strong> can be found here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.814979</p> <p><strong>Complementary high resolution visualizations </strong>can be found here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.814922</p> <p><strong>Project-specific data </strong>can be found here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.804103 (SQL server database)</p>
EUNIS Habitat Maps: Enhancing Thematic and Spatial Resolution for Europe through Machine Learning
<p>The EUNIS habitat classification is essential for categorising European habitats and supporting European policy on nature conservation and to implement the Nature Restoration Law. As such, to meet the growing demand for detailed and accurate habitat information, we provide spatial predictions for 260+ EUNIS habitat types at EUNIS level 3, together with validation and uncertainty analyses. </p> <p>More specifically, using ensemble machine learning models together with high-resolution satellite imagery and other climatic, terrain and soil variables, we produced an European habitat map at a 100-m resolution indicating the most likely EUNIS habitat at level 3 for every location across Europe. Predictions were validated for three independent countries, namely for France, the Netherlands and Austria. We also provide information on uncertainty and the most probable habitats at level 3 within each EUNIS level 1 formation. Products can be further refined with accurate and local land cover data. This product is thus likely to be particularly useful for restoration but also conservation purposes. </p> <p>Figure: <strong>Wall-to-wall map of EUNIS habitats at level 3 - (color coded at level 2 for visibility)</strong></p> <p></p>
