Near-surface permafrost probability in Alaska

EnviroAtlas published a new dataset for Alaska. The near-surface permafrost probability dataset, originally developed by USGS, provides an estimate of the probability of near-surface permafrost throughout most of Alaska. It is the only permafrost map for the entirety of Alaska of which we are aware and provides estimates at a 30-meter resolution. This map can help assess the potential risks of permafrost thaw and its impact on infrastructure, human wellbeing, and ecosystems.

New Data

Potential Wetland Areas Data

New Potential Wetland Areas (PWA) datasets have been published, identifying locations across the conterminous U.S. that may support wetland habitats based on biophysical landscape characteristics at 10-meter resolution. Explore how these datasets can support wetland conservation and restoration goals, and more!
