GIS data for the maps in publication Spatial perspectives enhance modeling of nanomaterial risks

These files include the datasets utilized to perform geospatial modeling in the publication: Spatial perspectives enhance modeling of nanomaterial risks in the Journal of Industrial Ecology. 

The following data sources were used in this modeling effort:

National Hydrography Dataset (NHD): United States Geological Survey (USGS)

Upstate NY Lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, springs, and wells

Critical Environmental Areas in New York State: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 

Areas designated as critical under 6 NYCRR Part 617: “ecological, geological, or hydrological sensitivity that may be adversely affected by any change” (NY DEC)

National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD): United States Geological Survey (USGS)

National Land Cover Database classification schemes based primarily on Landsat data (2011)

Elevation Data: United States Geological Survey (USGS)

Digital Elevation Models (10-meter) for New York, elevation values were derived from USGS contour lines mapped at a scale of 1:24,000. 

Interstate Highway: Federal Highway Administration’s National Transportation Atlas Database

Rural and urban highways for New York
