Environmental layers used in the modeling of the distribution of these taxa are also part of this data package and include habitat (depth (continuous), slope (continuous), aspect (categorical, 8 classes), topographic position index at 4 different scales (continuous), rugosity (continuous), and substrate (categorical, 3 classes). For more information on the data collection and modeling effort, refer to Etherington et al. (2011). All models and environmental layers are presented in the GeoTIFF format. This project represents a data analysis and data mining effort focusing on hydrocorals and gorgonian corals on Cordell Bank that builds on previous research and specimen collections. Specific objectives include: 1) investigate the distribution of hydrocorals in the temperate northeast Pacific Ocean, with emphasis on central California and Cordell Bank, 2) describe the distribution and habitat associations of hydrocoral and gorgonian corals on Cordell Bank, 3) use fine-scale seafloor mapping data and in situ submersible data to predict hydrocoral and gorgonian presence on Cordell Bank.
