Polar Bear Maternal Den Habitat on the Coastal Plain of Northern Alaska Between the Colville River and the Alaska/Canada border.

These are geospatial data that characterize the distribution of polar bear denning habitat on the coastal plain of northern Alaska between the Colville River and the Alaska/Canada border. One dataset is included in this data package, it is vector geospatial data of putative denning habitat. The vector data are provided in both ESRI shapefile and Keyhole Markup Language (KML) formats. Den habitat is defined as abrupt landscape features (e.g., coastal and riverbanks, lake shores) that are likely to accumulate snow to a depth sufficient for polar bears to build a maternal den (i.e., > 1 meter deep).
