What is EnviroAtlas? An online decision support tool giving users the ability to view, analyze, and download geospatial data and other resources; designed to inform decision-making, education, and additional research. EnviroAtlas includes: Geospatial indicators Supplemental data (e.g., boundaries, land cover, soils, hydrography, impaired water bodies, wetlands, demographics, roads) Analytic and interpretive tools

Interactive Mapping Tool 300+ map layers available online National: Wall-to-wall coverage for contigous US; summarized by ~90,000 drainage basins (12-digit HUCs). 160+ data layers Community: High-resolution component for 50 populated places; summarized by US census block group. 100+ data layers. Pictured: Milwaukee, WI & vicinity

Data are organized into 7 ecosystem service benefit categories. Biodiversity Conservation Clean Air Climate Stabilization Recreation, Culture, & Aesthetics Clean & Plentiful Water Food, Fuel, & Materials Natural Hazard Mitigation Data are organized into 7 ecosystem service benefit categories.

Ecosystem Services & Health: Unrealized Assets = Unintended Consequences Approach: Demonstrate Multiple Benefits of Green Infrastructure, Clean air Clean & plentiful water Natural hazard mitigation Climate stabilization Recreation, culture & aesthetics Food, fiber & materials Biodiversity conservation …and How They Relate to Human Health & Well-Being Air and water pollutants removed by neighborhood tree cover Homes and schools near busy roadways Extreme heat events Opportunities for physical exercise, social engagement, outdoor experience, and play Boiling it down: Hazard Buffering and Health Promotion

Land cover is an important input Portland, OR

Community Information to Assist Decision-Making e.g., health interventions, public infrastructure, social equity Walking Opportunities for physical activity, engagement with nature, & social interaction Estimated reductions in adverse respiratory health events due to ambient air filtration by trees Potential to improve school performance through cognitive restoration & stress reduction Pictured: Durham, NC & vicinity

All Data are Downloadable & Accessible via Web Services (incl. fact sheets for general users and technical metadata) Downscaled (30-meter) U.S. Census population grid Precise maps of tree cover along local roads & streams “Heat” maps

Also Includes: Analysis Tools, Guides, and Information Eco-Health Relationship Browser Mapping and analysis tools User added data Downloadable GIS toolboxes Jobs, transportation, built environment maps Use cases & guides for classroom and HIAs Interpretive fact sheets for every data layer

To support Decision-Making and Research More Data Coming Soon To support Decision-Making and Research Percent sidewalk tree cover by city block Intersection density w/in 750m of any point (Intersection density by block-group is currently available for the U.S.)

Thank You www.epa.gov/enviroatlas Contact us: enviroatlas@epa.gov jackson.laura@epa.gov I would change the black text on this slide to white text for better visibility. That’s all I have time for today. What I’ve shown you is just the tip of the iceberg of what we have available but I hope you have been inspired by the possibilities. If you’re interested, please stop by and see more for a live demonstration of our tools. Thank you!
