`FedData` is an *R* package implementing functions to automate downloading geospatial data available from several federated data sources.
Currently, the package enables extraction from nine datasets:
* The [National Elevation Dataset (NED)](https://ned.usgs.gov) digital elevation models (1 and 1/3 arc-second; USGS)
* The [National Hydrography Dataset (NHD)](https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/national-hydrography-dataset) (USGS)
* The [Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database](https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/) from the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS), which is led by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the USDA
* The [Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/global-historical-climatology-network-daily), coordinated by National Climatic Data Center at NOAA
* The [Daymet](https://daymet.ornl.gov/) gridded estimates of daily weather parameters for North America, version 4, available from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC)
* The [International Tree Ring Data Bank (ITRDB)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/paleoclimatology/tree-ring), coordinated by National Climatic Data Center at NOAA
* The [National Land Cover Database (NLCD)](https://www.mrlc.gov/)
* The [NASS Cropland Data Layer](https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/SARS1a.php) from the National Agricultural Statistics Service
* The [PAD-US](https://www.usgs.gov/programs/gap-analysis-project/science/pad-us-data-overview) dataset of
protected area boundaries from the USGS
This package is designed with the large-scale geographic information system (GIS) use-case in mind: cases where the use of dynamic web-services is impractical due to the scale (spatial and/or temporal) of analysis. It functions primarily as a means of downloading tiled or otherwise spatially-defined datasets; additionally, it can preprocess those datasets by extracting data within an area of interest (AoI), defined spatially. It relies heavily on the [**sf**](https://cran.r-project.org/package=sf) and [**terra**](https://cran.r-project.org/package=terra) packages.
