No CSDGM metadata originally accompanied this dataset. This metadata file was compiled based on the data itself (minimum and maximum values) as well as publication information associated with the Larger Work citation and specifically Chapter 7.

Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The dataset was released in the publication without a CSDGM metadata file. In order to provide a metadata file discoverable by various systems, the skeleton metadata file was generated based on information in the publication and the dataset itself. Dataset originator names are assumed based on the associated chapter authorship. Links to access the data including the DOI link were included. Added keywords section with USGS persistent identifier as theme keyword (PID). The spatial reference information is an assumption based on the header information in the file with the datum being assumed to be consistent with the other datasets included in the Larger Work citation. The distribution contact and metadata contact reflects the person who generated the CSDGM metadata file. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
