These data represent the location of dikes within the Green Bay Restoration Assessment (GBRA) study area. An ArcGIS model (Python script) identified dikes as having a difference in elevation above a certain threshold. If the elevation difference was below a certain threshold, the area was not considered a dike. However, if the difference in elevation between two points was significantly high, then the area was marked as a dike. Areas continuous with each other were considered part of the same dike. Data underwent quality control (QC) procedures by having Subject Matter Experts and those familiar with the area examine the data output, comparing the proposed dike locations to aerial imagery, flowline data, and the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Dikes that appeared to be false positives were deleted from the dataset. Please refer to the process steps and https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/ for further explanation on the methods.\nThe GLCWRA initiative identifies coastal wetland areas that have the greatest habitat restoration potential. The data model uses seven parameters to identify and rank wetland restoration areas, resulting in a composite index raster that can be used by ecological managers and planners to assist with the selection of wetland restoration sites.\nThe parameters are \nParameter 0: Mask\nParameter 1: Hydroperiod\nParameter 2: Wetland Soils\nParameter 3: Flowlines\nParameter 4: Conservation and Recreation Lands\nParameter 5: Impervious Surfaces\nParameter 6: Land Use (represents developed areas without impervious surfaces but high societal value)\nThe ancillary data include dikes, degree flowlines, study area and culverts. These data layers are put through an ecological model, which results in a composite restoration index of ranked restoration areas.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9RRV9AJ", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.645baed4d34ec179a838201b.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_645baed4d34ec179a838201b", "keyword": ["Brown", "Brown County, WI", "Delta", "Delta County, MI", "Door", "Door County, WI", "Great Lakes", "Green Bay", "Holocene", "Kewaunee", "Kewaunee County, WI", "Lake Michigan", "Manitowoc", "Manitowoc County, WI", "Marinette", "Marinette County, WI", "Menominee", "Menominee County, MI", "Michigan", "Oconto", "Oconto County, WI", "Schoolcraft", "Schoolcraft County, MI", "USGS:645baed4d34ec179a838201b", "Wisconsin", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "hydrology", "inlandWaters", "lake", "lakeshore", "natural resource management", "remediation", "resource management", "river", "stream", "water quality", "wetland", "wetland restoration"], "modified": "2023-11-21T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-88.1480, 44.0703, -85.8662, 45.9965", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) Green Bay, U.S.: Dikes"}
