Satellite-derived shorelines for Romania Black Sea coast for the period 1984 - 2023 using Landsat

This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery (1984 to 2023) for the Romanian Black Sea coast. The shoreline positions were derived on transects 50 m apart using the open-source toolbox, CoastSat described in Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b. Landsat coastal imagery was classified, and shoreline positions were detected at the sub-pixel scale...

Whole-Rock Geochemical Data for Cenozoic Silicic Igneous and Hydrothermal Rocks from Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California

This data release presents whole-rock geochemical data for a suite of silicic igneous and magmatic-hydrothermal rocks from the western Cordillera of the United States. Samples were mainly collected from Eocene to Miocene high-silica igneous rocks and other nearby igneous and hydrothermal±magmatic rocks. These data were collected to help define highly evolved magma systems that can be...

Cenozoic Highly Evolved Rhyolites of the Western Cordillera of the Conterminous United States

The use of data analytics and digital mineral prospectivity mapping has become increasingly important to mineral resource assessment in recent years. Necessary information for many forms of such modeling are expert-validated training sets. Previous work defined occurrence and grade and tonnage models for Climax-type porphyry molybdenum deposits (Singer and others, 1986; Ludington and...

Ground-based lidar data of the southeast face of El Capitan, Yosemite National Park, California, May 4, 2022

We collected two ground-based (terrestrial) lidar scans of the southeast face of El Capitan cliff, located in Yosemite National Park, California. El Capitan is one of several iconic granitic cliffs in Yosemite and rises approximately 1000 meters above the floor of Yosemite Valley. The scans were collected from the same location and from a single vantage point on the edge of El Capitan...

Geophysical data and grids of the Grouse Creek and Utah part of the Jackpot 30' x 60' quadrangles, Utah

New geophysical data, including density and magnetic susceptibility measurements, were collected in the Grouse Creek and Utah part of the Jackpot 30' x 60' quadrangles in Box Elder County, Utah and Cassia County, Idaho. The release contains 324 new gravity measurements merged with a 2013 compilation. These data were inverted for basin thickness and basement density variations. The...

Depth predictions of chemical geothermometers estimated using a three-dimensonal temperature model in the Great Basin, USA

Recent work in the Great Basin region of the western United States has made it possible to predict the depth of hydrothermal reservoirs (i.e., the depth at which heat is accumulated prior to ascent via hydrothermal upflow) identified through geochemistry and to contextualize the spatial patterns of these reservoir depths. Chemical geothermometers use the chemical and mineral constituents...

Assessment of natural reference materials for U-Pb geochronology of grossular-andradite garnet

Geochemical and isotopic data from the manuscript "Assessment of natural reference materials for U-Pb geochronology of grossular-andradite garnet" published in Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research. Table 1 is a summary of major and trace element geochemical characteristics of the three reference materials investigated in this study. Table 2 and Table 3 show the results of ID-TIMS...

Data Supporting Mobile Wind Measurements Using a Joust Configured Ultrasonic Anemometer Onboard a Multi-rotor sUAS

These data were collected to investigate how well wind speed and direction can be measured using a miniature sonic anemometer mounted in a joust configuration on a small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS). Test flights occurred at a bog within Interior Alaska that was instrumented with an eddy covariance flux tower. Part of the tower's instrumentation was a highly accurate sonic anemometer...

Microfossil Samples from the East Pisco Basin, southern Peru

The East Pisco Basin is one of several forearc basins situated on the coastal plain of Peru between the Andean Cordillera and Peru-Chile Trench. During the Cenozoic, successive marine transgressions across the East Pisco Basin deposited sequences of Paleogene and Neogene age. Biochronologic studies suggest that a hiatus of approximately 12 million years (~32-20 Ma) separates the youngest...

Thin section images of hand samples from the Lady of the Lake intrusion, Montana

These data include individual zip files which contain TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) images of graphic drill core logs showing associated drill core information, a TIFF image of the explanation for the lithology and structure sections of the logs, Esri shapefiles of the locations of the drill hole collars, and .csv files of tabular data that were compiled from handwritten drill core...

Georectified mosaic of historical aerial photographs of the Colorado River in Mohave Valley, Arizona, California, and Nevada, acquired in 1938

This product is a georectified and tonally balanced mosaic of aerial photographs collected in 1938 by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation along the floodplain of the Colorado River in Mohave Valley region of Arizona, California and Nevada. This dataset is a primary resource for the development of a geologic map showing the floodplain and river channel characteristics along the Colorado River...

Aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric data acquired over parts of Grant, Hidalgo, Luna, Sierra, and Socorro Counties, New Mexico

NV5 Geospatial, in collaboration with EDCON-PRJ, Inc. acquired high-precision airborne magnetic and radiometric data over southwestern New Mexico. Survey flight-lines were flown in an east-west direction and are spaced at 200 meters. North-south tie lines are spaced at 2000 meters. The survey contained 142,673 line-kms (88,650 miles) of data and covered an area of over 25,900 sq. km (10...
