Wood Valley Pit Crater is a nearly circular pit approximately 50m across and 50m deep with vertical walls. This pit is of particular interest because it hosts access to a cave entrance at its base, providing an opportunity to monitor cave climate throughout a type of cave structure that is ordinarily inaccessible. In-situ cave climate observations included cold trapping, cave breathing...

The purpose of the data collection was to monitor the microclimate in the “Bonito Flow” Ice Cave located in Sunset Crater National Monument. This cave is considered a sacred spot for some southwestern tribes as it was a historical source for ice. The main purpose of the climate monitoring was to determine if the cave is still an active ice cave, i.e., a cave that contains perennial ice...

These data describe observations of frost and related features in alcoves and slopes near Martian gully landforms. The base data are images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) acquired prior to Ls=0 of Mars Year 33 (June 18, 2015).

The Kaguya Terrain Camera analysis-ready data documentation provides an overview of the mission and sensors that were used as inputs to derive these data. Readers are advised to read the overview section of that documentation that describes the mission orbits, data resolutions, and physical sensors. The Kaguya spacecraft captured over 220,000 Terrain Camera (TC) observations in...

Grand Falls dune field (GFDF) is located on the Navajo Nation, ~70 km NE of Flagstaff, AZ. This active dune field displays a range of morphologies, including barchans, smaller dunes, and ripples, and is bimodal in composition. The felsic component is likely derived from the Little Colorado River, and the mafic component (basaltic grains) is locally sourced from nearby cinder cones [1]...

Our goal for this work is to place better constraints on aeolian atmospheric-surface interactions through long-term monitoring of an active, bi-modal dune field located near Grand Falls, Arizona. Grand Falls dune field (GFDF) is located on the Navajo Nation, ~70 km NE of Flagstaff, AZ. This dune field has been monitored since 2013 by the U.S. Geological Survey, and data from each...

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Park Service, Yellowstone Center for Resources, as part of work for the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, has compiled a shapefile map of thermal areas and thermal water bodies in Yellowstone National Park. A thermal area is a continuous, or nearly continuous, geologic unit that contains one or more thermal features (e.g., hot...

This data collection includes ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data and related observations collected from the NASA Goddard Instrument Field Team (GIFT) Expedition to the Icelandic Highlands in July-August 2019 and August 2021. This dataset includes observations at the Askja Volcano and caldera and Vikrahraun lava flow. GPR data were collected using Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc (GSSI)...

Utilizing the USGS Meteor Crater Sample Collection, we sampled impact melt particles for geochemical and textural characterization using a scanning electron microscope and electron microprobe. Samples were collected from a range of different depths and distances from the crater rim, all within the proximal ejecta blanket. By using the Meteor Crater Sample Collection, in which all samples...

These data are Lunar Orbiter Laster Altimeter (LOLA) Reduced Data Record (RDR) spot observations, released by the LOLA team to the Planetary Data System (PDS) that have been reformatted into the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) LAZ/Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC) file format.
