Long-term composited and land cover-adjusted Enhanced Normalized Difference Impervious Surface Index (ENDISI) for the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA, metropolitan area and the surrounding Sonoran desert derived from annual and seasonal Landsat imagery, 1998 to 2020
This data package consists of multiple decades of Enhanced Normalized Difference Impervious Surface Index (ENDISI) raster data across the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) study area within metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, USA, temporally aggregated by year and by four meteorological seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall). To serve as a proxy measurement of impervious surface and urbanization across years and seasons, we derived values of ENDISI – following the methods of Chen et al. 2019 from annual and seasonal composites of 30-m resolution Landsat 5-9 Level-2 Surface Reflectance imagery. Next, we corrected the underestimated ENDISI values of dark impervious surface cover and the overestimated ENDISI values of bright bare soils based on visible Landsat bands and 2020 land cover (Sabu et al. 2023). Finally, we exported images as individual GeoTIFF raster files, each with five bands corresponding values summarized annually (band 1) and seasonally (bands 2-5). All imagery retrieval and data processing were completed with Google Earth Engine (Gorelick et al. 2017) and program R. A complete description of data processing methods, including the aggregation of imagery by year and season and the calculation of the spectral index, can be found in the data package metadata (see 'Methods and Protocols') and accompanying Javascript code. ### citations - Gorelick N, Hancher M, Dixon M, et al.

Urban Heat and Desert Wildlife: Rodent Body Condition Across a Gradient of Surface Temperatures in the greater Phoenix, Arizona (USA) metropolitan area (2019-2020)
We live-trapped wild rodents from seven field sites spanning three strata of land-surface temperatures in the Phoenix, Arizona (USA) metropolitan area. We captured 116 adult pocket mice (Chaetodipus spp. and Perognathus spp.) and Merriam’s kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami) during 2019 and 2020 from mountainous urban parks and open spaces. Animal body condition was quantified as percent body fat (i.e., fat mass divided by body mass). We used a noninvasive quantitative magnetic resonance instrument to measure body condition.
Composited land surface temperature of the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area and surrounding Sonoran desert derived from cloud-free, summer (June, July, and August) Landsat imagery: 1985-2020
This project calculates land surface temperature (LST) from remotely sensed imagery. The intent is to extend the previous version of the LST data for the CAP LTER study area in central Arizona, USA to include 2020 and update the products so that they are based on a composite of images from each year (all available cloud-free acquisitions from June, July, and August) in the analysis to reduce the potential for outlier images or pixels to impact analyses. The aim is to make updated LST data accessible to stakeholders and researchers studying the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area. LST is calculated from cloud-free Landsat 5 and 8 imagery (30m resolution) from summer months (June, July, and August) in 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. All images are cropped to the CAP LTER study area boundary.
Seasonal and annual summary statistics of urbanization, vegetation, land surface temperature, and bioclimatic variables derived from remotely-sensed imagery in areas surrounding long-term bird monitoring locations in the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area (1997-2023)
This data package consists of 26 years (1998-2023) of environmental data and 22 years (2000-2022) years of bioclimatic data associated with CAP-LTER long-term point-count bird censusing sites (https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/4777d7f0a899f506d6d4f9b5d535ba09), temporally aggregated by year and by four meteorological seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). The environmental variables include land surface temperature (LST), three spectral indices of vegetation and water – the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI), and modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI) – and four spectral indices of impervious surface/urbanization. Impervious surface indices include the normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), the normalized difference impervious surface index (NDISI), the enhanced normalized differences impervious surface index (ENDISI), and the normalized impervious surface index (NISI). LST and all spectral indices were derived from annual and seasonal composites of 30-m resolution Landsat 5-9 Level-2 Surface Reflectance imagery. The seven bioclimatic variables (e.g., air temperature, precipitation) were sourced from 1-km resolution gridded estimates of daily climatic data from NASA Daymet V4. We created temporally-aggregated Daymet raster images by calculating mean pixel-values for each season and year, as well as seasonally and annually summed precipitation. We summarized the values of each environmental variable by generating variously-sized (100-m, 500-m, 1000-m) buffers around each bird point count location and extracting weighted mean values of each environmental variable, with each pixel's values weighted by the proportion of its area falling within the buffer. All imagery retrieval and data processing were completed with Google Earth Engine (Gorelick et al. 2017) and program R.

Burned Area Maps based on MODIS Surface Reflectance
<p>Burned area (BA) was classified using in-house algorithms, described in detail by Woźniak and Aleksandrowicz (2019). This method utilizes images acquired before and after fire events. All MODIS surface reflectance products MOD09A1 (tiles 24_03 and 25_03) for the period 2002 – 2021 were investigated. Since the study area is obscured by clouds or covered with snow for most of the year, only images from the time window that maximized the number of available frames across most years were selected. Hence, only images acquired between the 145th and 241st day of each year (corresponding to the spring-summer period) were retained for further processing. </p>
Numerical summaries of vegetation indices and land surface temperature derived from remotely sensed imagery in Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) neighborhoods of central Arizona
This project calculates two vegetation indices: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), and land surface temperature (LST) from remotely sensed imagery. NDVI and SAVI are calculated from the 2010, 2013, 2015, and 2017 NAIP imagery (1m resolution). LST is calculated from Landsat 5 and 8 imagery (30m resolution) from summer months in 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. Summary values are calculated for each of the aforementioned data resources for 2011 and 2017 Phoenix Area Social Survey (PASS) study area boundaries. Tabular summaries of the mean, median, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation of the NDVI, SAVI, and LST values for the 2011 and 2017 Phoenix Area Social Survey boundaries (45 and 12 neighborhoods, respectively) are provided. Javascript code used to process NDVI, SAVI, and LST imagery, and R code used to calculate numerical summaries of NDVI, SAVI, and LST in PASS neighborhoods are included with this dataset. Locations and areas of PASS study neighborhood boundaries and source imagery used to calculate these summaries are available through the Environmental Data Initiative - see resouce listing in the methods of this data set.
Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro Area Lakes Surface Water Quality Characteristics
Urban lakes are heavily impacted by human activities and climate variability, and they provide many ecosystem services to residents. The MSP LTER program is studying long term changes in urban lake water quality, ecology and management as part of our long term studies of urban environments. The goal of this dataset is to understand how land-use change, management, and climate have impacted urban lake biogeochemistry over time. This dataset includes parameters characterizing the long term (> 5 years) surface water quality and chemistry of 294 lakes and ponds in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Seven County Metropolitan Area, Minnesota, USA. The dataset draws from data publicly available through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and data provided by individual agencies, park districts and cities. The dataset is distinct from other lake datasets because it is curated to only report a single value per lake x date x parameter, minimizing the amount of data manipulation needed before use in statistical analyses. All data come from the top two meters of the water column. In the case of multiple spatial measurements on a single lake or multiple agencies sampling the same lake on the same day, chemistry data were averaged to generate a single value. For Secchi data, the deepest reported observation on a given lake x date was used. Parameters: total phosphorus, total nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, nitrate + nitrite (NOx), ammonium, chlorophyll a (corrected and not corrected for pheophytin), specific conductivity, chloride, and Secchi depth. These waterbodies are identified by their DNR Division of Water (DOW) number with minor alterations for subbasin identification. This dataset does not comprehensively represent all lentic waterbodies that have substantial water quality data in the metro area, and some included waterbodies may be considered wetlands according to state classifications. The data brought together in this database has undergone QAQC by the

Surface water loss hotspots and areas of human pressure in Italy
<p>In Italy, surface water bodies are the main source of water withdrawals. However, growing human pressures are significantly changing surface water availability, gradually reducing its extent.</p> <p>We analyze the influence of human activities on surface water losses occurred in Italy between 1984 and 2021. To do so, we identify three areas of human pressure, i.e., regions of human activities that heavily rely on the use of surface water:</p> <ol> <li>Irrigated area (IRR);</li> <li>Built-up area (BUP), indicating areas of human settlements (urban and industrial areas);</li> <li>Anthropogenic area (ANT), indicating areas of either irrigation practices or human settlements.</li> </ol> <p>Here, we provide the datasets describing the spatial distribution of surface water loss (SWL), irrigated areas, built-up areas, and anthropogenic areas, and the land cover classification for 2021 across Italy (LC). Such datasets have been derived from remotely-sensed products. In particular, the location of SWL is determined using the Transitions layer of the Global Surface Water dataset (Pekel et al., 2016), whereas the maps of irrigated and built-up areas are obtained from the Corine Land Cover (CLC) 2018 dataset (EEA, 2018). Finally, the land cover map is extracted from the ESA WorldCover map (version 2) for the year 2021 (Zanaga et al., 2022).</p> <p>In the map of SWL, irrigated areas, built-up areas, and anthropogenic areas the value 1 indicates the presence of SWL or irrigated area or built-up area or anthropogenic area, respectively. The 2021 land cover map follows the classification system of the ESA WorldCover map (11 classes).</p> <p>References:</p> <p><em>Pekel, JF.; Cottam, A.; Gorelick, N.; Belward, A.S. (2016).

Improving 30-meter global impervious surface area (GISA) mapping: New method and dataset
<p>Timely and accurate monitoring of impervious surface areas (ISA) is crucial for effective urban planning and sustainable development. Recent advances in remote sensing technologies have enabled global ISA mapping at fine spatial resolution (<30 m) over long time spans (>30 years), offering the opportunity to track global ISA dynamics. However, existing 30 m global long-term ISA datasets suffer from omission and commission issues, affecting their accuracy in practical applications. To address these challenges, we proposed a novel global longterm ISA mapping method and generated a new 30 m global ISA dataset from 1985 to 2021, namely GISA-new. Specifically, to reduce ISA omissions, a multi-temporal Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) algorithm that accounts for newly added ISA regions (NA-CCDC) was proposed to enhance the diversity and representativeness of the training samples. Meanwhile, a multi-scale iterative (MIA) method was proposed to automatically remove global commissions of various sizes and types. Finally, we collected two independent test datasets with over 100,000 test samples globally for accuracy assessment. Results showed that GISA-new out performed other existing global ISA datasets, such as GISA, WSF-evo, GAIA, and GAUD, achieving the highest overall accuracy (93.12 %), the lowest omission errors (10.50 %), and the lowest commission errors (3.52 %). Furthermore, the spatial distribution of global ISA omissions and commissions was analyzed, revealing more mapping uncertainties in the Northern Hemisphere. In general, the proposed method in this study effectively addressed global ISA omissions and removed commissions at different scales. The generated high-quality GISAnew can serve as a fundamental parameter for a more comprehensive understanding of global urbanization.</p>

SROADEX: Dataset for binary recognition and semantic segmentation of road surface areas from high resolution Aerial Orthoimages Covering Approximately 8,650 km2 of the Spanish Territory Tagged with Road Information
<p>The data have been generated using scripts developed in Python using Open Source libraries (GDAL/OGR and MapScript) for rasterization of vector cartography representing the axes of the different types of roads (urban, interurban and rural). This cartography has been obtained from different Spanish official sources (National Geographic Institute and autonomic cartographic agencies) that we have revised and edited in a meticulous and systematic way to verify that the roads are represented on the cartography according to the orthoimages, available on January 1, 2021 in the download center of the National Center of Geographic Information (CNIG), on 16 rectangular areas (28,5 km * 18,5 km) of the Spanish territory (insular and peninsular).</p> <p>The dataset consists of 777599 images in png format of 256x256 pixels, organized in folders for the different trainings, separating those corresponding to training, testing and validation.</p> <p>The structure of the data is as follows:<br> 1-Road-Ortho and 1-Road-Mask contain the images and ground true for training the semantic segmentation networks.<br> 1-Road-Ortho and 2-NoRoad-Ortho contain aerial images containing or not containing vials, for the training of binary tessellation networks identifying tessellations with vials.<br> Moreover, in each folder the structure is the same: train, test, validation containing 90%, 5% and 5% of the total images and masks of each type.</p> <p>1-Road-Ortho</p> <p> |----Train</p> <p> |----Test</p> <p> -----Validation</p> <p>1-Road-Mask</p> <p> |----Train</p> <p> |----Test</p> <p> -----Validation</p> <p>2-NoRoad-Ortho</p> <p> |----Train</p> <p> |----Test</p> <p> -----Validation</p> <p> </p>
Mapping 10-m global impervious surface area (GISA-10m) using multi-source geospatial data
<p>Artificial impervious surface area (ISA) documents human footprints. Accurate, timely, and detailed ISA datasets are therefore essential for global climate change and urban planning. However, due to the lack of sufficient training samples and operational mapping methods, global ISA mapping at 10-m resolution is still lacking. To this end, we proposed a global ISA mapping method leveraging multi-source geospatial data. Based on the existing satellite-derived ISA maps and the crowdsourcing OpenStreetMap (OSM), 58 million training samples were extracted via a series of temporal, spatial, spectral, and geometric rules. Combined with over 2.7 million Sentinel optical and radar images on the Google Earth Engine, we produced the 10 m global ISA dataset (GISA-10m). Based on the test samples that are independent to the training set, GISA-10m embraced an overall accuracy greater than 86%. In addition, the GISA-10m was comprehensively compared with the existing global ISA datasets, and the superiority of GISA-10m was demonstrated. </p>
