Introduction

The Hawaii Data Clearinghouse Web site, created and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), is a gateway to digital data for the Hawaiian Islands. This Web site is designed to ensure that all interested users (scientists, engineers, resource managers, developers, and the public) have quick and easy access to a wide range of data and GIS products. The primary goals of this clearinghouse are to facilitate the coordination of research, monitoring, and environmental-management activities in Hawaii and to ensure the widest possible access to data and information resulting from such activities.

Digital Data

The site is organized by island, and both vector and raster data are available for all eight large islands. The availability of the type of digital data and number of layers varies by island. All data have FGDC-compliant metadata.

Vector data include the following types:

• Boundary
• Road
• Hydrography
• Hypsography (contours)
• Soil

Raster data include the following types:

• Digital Elevation Model (DEM), National Elevation Dataset (NED)
• Landsat 7 satellite imagery
• Digital Raster Graphic (DRG)
• Orthoimagery, Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle (DOQ)

To download digital data for an island, please select the island of interest.
