Resource Abstract:
- description: The Unpublished Digital Geologic Map of Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Vicinity, Alaska is composed
of GIS data layers and GIS tables in a 10.1 file geodatabase (bela_geology.gdb), a 10.1 ArcMap (.MXD) map document (bela_geology.mxd),
individual 10.1 layer (.LYR) files for each GIS data layer, an ancillary map information (.PDF) document (bela_geology.pdf)
which contains source map unit descriptions, as well as other source map text, figures and tables, metadata in FGDC text (.TXT)
and FAQ (.HTML) formats, and a GIS readme file (bela_gis_readme.pdf). Please read the bela_gis_readme.pdf for information
pertaining to the proper extraction of the file geodatabase and other map files. To request GIS data in ESRI 10.1 shapefile
format contact Stephanie O’Meara (stephanie.omeara@colostate.edu; see contact information below). The data is also available
as a 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented
and in access to GRI ancillary table information. Google Earth software is available for free at: http://www.google.com/earth/index.html.
Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization, and to use the GIS data for any type of data
analysis or investigation. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National
Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources
Division (GRD). Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: U.S.
Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the
Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (bela_metadata_faq.html; available at http://nrdata.nps.gov/geology/gri_data/gis/bela/bela_metadata_faq.html).
Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale
of 1:500,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 254 meters or 833.3 feet
of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features
is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary
tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.2. (available at: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm).
The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone AD_1983_Alaska_AlbersN, however, for the KML/KMZ format the data is projected upon
export to WGS84 Geographic, the native coordinate system used by Google Earth. The data is within the area of interest of
