It has eight land cover classes and was derived from the USGS National Land Cover Dataset 1992 and Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía, e Informática 1:250,000 Uso de Suelo (Land Use) dataset. While the binational classification scheme is robust and the source imagery for the classification of land use/land cover (LULC) classes are the same (Landsat), the method of classification of the imagery and the format of the original datasets pose a potential problem. The Mexican data were processed using manual digitization methods. Image interpreters digitized polygons based on what they saw in the image and the final product was verified with field work. The U.S. LULC data were classified using automated techniques that resulted in a raster dataset. The differences in format of the original LULC data make it difficult to accurately analyze the integrated binational dataset. LULC represented by polygons tends to present a more homogeneous picture of the landscape, while raster data are able to represent more heterogeneity. The same landscape would be represented differently if classified using the two distinct methods employed by the U.S. and Mexico. Caution should be exercised when analyzing the final integrated binational LULC dataset. However, the binational LULC dataset does provide a good qualitative representation of regional patterns in LULC. The U.S.-Mexico Border Environmental Health Initiative is built on the premise that international borders politically divide the landscape but rarely represent barriers for environmental issues. The major issues surrounding the U.S.-Mexico border involve economics and population growth that present challenges to environmental management and natural resource planning. To monitor trends and analyze the stresses to the environment, binationally integrated baseline datasets that portray the status of the landscape are needed. The primary objective of this project is to develop integrated, environmental resource and human health datasets for display and further analysis within a geographic information system (GIS) framework. Datasets created for the Border Environmental Health Initiative (BEHI) follow watershed boundaries as defined by Woodward and Durall (1996). As part of the U.S.-Mexico Border Field Coordinating Committee Issues Team, Woodward and Durall used surface-water drainage basins as the primary basis for defining and delineating the extent of the border area from a shared-water resources perspective. In order to provide integrated datasets in the border region, local and regional BEHI datasets have been clipped to this boundary.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><I>Purpose:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">This dataset was created to provide resource managers, public officials, researchers, and the general public with ready access to accurate, impartial, scientific information to strike a balance among human needs for resource utilization, environmental quality, and human health.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><I>Supplemental_Information:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">Additional information about the Border Environmental Health Initiative can be found at http://borderhealth.cr.usgs.gov and datasets are available for viewing through an Internet Mapping Service (follow links on the main page to the Internet Mapping Service Viewer).</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Time_Period_of_Content:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Time_Period_Information:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Range_of_Dates/Times:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Beginning_Date:</I> 1992</DT> <DT><I>Ending_Date:</I> 1993</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DIV> <DT><I>Currentness_Reference:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">publication date</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Status:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Progress:</I> Complete</DT> <DT><I>Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency:</I> None planned</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Spatial_Domain:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Bounding_Coordinates:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>West_Bounding_Coordinate:</I> -117.720103</DT> <DT><I>East_Bounding_Coordinate:</I> -95.994998</DT> <DT><I>North_Bounding_Coordinate:</I> 34.780732</DT> <DT><I>South_Bounding_Coordinate:</I> 25.146627</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Keywords:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Theme:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus:</I> Library of Congress</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Environmental Heath</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Water</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Land Cover</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Theme:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus:</I> ISO 19115 Topic Category</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> imageryBaseMapsEarthCover</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Imagery and Base Maps</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Place:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Mexican-American Border Region</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> United States of America</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Mexico</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Rio Grande</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Access_Constraints:</I> The data are available for viewing at http://borderhealth.cr.usgs.gov</DT> <DIV> <DT><I>Use_Constraints:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">There is no guarantee concerning the accuracy of the data.
