Historical nickel laterite regions and assay samples in southern Oregon and northern California, USA
This dataset consists of 529 areas of identified nickel laterite in southern Oregon and northern California, compiled in vector shapefile format from six historical publications from 1956 to 1983. Sources include state and federal projects for geologic mapping and critical mineral exploration purposes and are attributed to each polygon. Five original, georeferenced maps are included in...
Cosmogenic burial dating results, detrital zircon U-Pb results, and knick point locations associated with the incision history of Hells Canyon
This data release is companion to a manuscript entitled: "Carving North America’s Deepest Gorge: Constraints on the Timing and Mechanism of forming Hells Canyon". Here, we report cosmogenic age data analyzed from sediments deposited within caves within the Hells Canyon region, as well as the knick point locations mapped out from topographic analysis and detrital zircon U-Pb ages derived...
Geochemical and isotopic data for the Mountain Pass Intrusive Suite, California
The dataset includes .csv spreadsheets which provide whole rock geochemical data for the alkaline silicate rock and carbonatite rock samples for the Mountain Pass Intrusive Suite that were analyzed as part of this study, as well as whole rock Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic data for whole rock alkaline silicate samples. The .csv files containing this data are associated with individual data...
Dataset of magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements from the Monument dike swarm in Central Oregon, USA
We measured the magnetic fabric of 205 oriented paleomagnetic specimens, subsampled from 97 samples collected from 15 dikes of the Monument dike swarm. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility is the directionally dependent response of a specimen to an induced magnetization and is a function of the magnetic mineral properties (e.g., size, shape, mineralogy, domain state, orientation). We...
Thin section images of hand samples and drill core from mafic to ultramafic rocks
These datasets include photographic images of thin sections created from hand samples and drill core collected from mafic to ultramafic rocks from different locations across the U.S., shapefiles representing the locations of the hand samples and/or drill core collars, and images showing examples of the approximate scale on the images. The samples were collected in order to help define...
CMIP6-LOCA2 spatial summaries of National Park Service administrative units from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States
Three different CMIP6-LOCA2 based climate projection data sets are spatially averaged for the contiguous United States using National Park Service administrative units to provide time series for analysis. The primary data set is the statistically downscaled CMIP6-LOCA2 (Localized Constructed Analogs, v20220519 version, Pierce et al. 2023), which includes temperature and precipitation...
CMIP6-LOCA2 spatial summaries of Bureau of Land Management administrative units from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States
Three different CMIP6-LOCA2 based climate projection data sets are spatially averaged for the contiguous United States using Bureau of Land Management administrative units to provide time series for analysis. The primary data set is the statistically downscaled CMIP6-LOCA2 (Localized Constructed Analogs, v20220519 version, Pierce et al. 2023), which includes temperature and precipitation...
CMIP6-LOCA2 spatial summaries of counties (TIGER 2023) from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States
Three different CMIP6-LOCA2 based climate projection data sets are spatially averaged for the contiguous United States counties to provide time series for analysis. The primary data set is the statistically downscaled CMIP6-LOCA2 (Localized Constructed Analogs, v20220519 version, Pierce et al. 2023), which includes temperature and precipitation projections from the Climate Model...
CMIP6-LOCA2 spatial summaries of HU8 and HU10 watershed boundaries from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States
Three different CMIP6-LOCA2 based climate projection data sets are spatially averaged over the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) using HU8 and HU10 hydrologic units for the contiguous United States to provide time series for analysis. The primary data set is the statistically downscaled CMIP6-LOCA2 (Localized Constructed Analogs, v20220519 version, Pierce et al. 2023), which includes...
Data acquired in laboratory experiments conducted with a model freshwater invertebrate to characterize dietary bioavailability of uranium
Determining the environmental health effects of uranium (U) to aquatic species requires understanding its exposure pathways, which include both the aqueous and dietary uptake routes. But little is known about the drivers of U bioavailability from solid phases. In this study, we characterized U bioavailability from 8 solids using a freshwater invertebrate as a model species. Solids...
Digitized sonic velocity and density log data of the Eel River area, northern California
Sonic velocity and density well logs in the Eel River area in northern California (Ferndale north Arcata) were digitized by hand. These logs are available as scanned files (pdfs and tiffs) on the California Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources website (https://maps.conservation.ca.gov/doggr/wellfinder/). The data consist of transit times and bulk density measured downhole in...
Georectified mosaics of historical aerial photographs of the Colorado River in Parker Valley, Arizona and California, acquired in 1930, 1938, and 1947
The products provided here include four georectified mosaics of historic aerial photographs for the Parker Valley region within western Arizona and southeastern California. There are three individual mosaics from 1930, 1938, and 1947 covering different geographic areas. The fourth georectified mosaic is a composite of the three and covers the entire area of interest. These datasets were...
