An online survey of 189 residents in Guam was conducted between 2019 and 2021 to understand perceptions pertaining to wildfire risk, current wildfire management, and physical effects. This data collection aimed to understand what Guam residents think about wildfires, what they know about wildfire management, if there are relationships between demographics and accuracy of perceptions.

This shapefile depicts individual campsites areas surveyed at 37 sandbar sites along the Colorado River through Grand Canyon, from Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek, from 1999 to 2024. Campsite areas were measured through total station surveys, outlining the perimeter of areas available for camping use at each study site. Campsite area is defined as an area with smooth substrate, typically...

Climate-driven stressors, non-native insects, and emerging diseases increasingly impact forest health across the Great Lakes region. Forest management strategies are required to mitigate these impacts. We examined one strategy, tree planting for adaptation to climate and emerald ash borer (hereafter referred to as adaptation plantings), as an approach for establishing tree species...

Paleoceanographers use the distribution of planktic foraminifers in downcore sediment samples to estimate past oceanographic and paleoclimate conditions. In this data release, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists provide foraminiferal census data (species relative abundance and raw counts) from cores taken in Pigmy Basin (located in the Gulf of America) aboard the research vessel (R...

These data were compiled to provide necessary inputs to run the models in our paper, Operating Lake Powell Under Uncertainty: Strategies for Sustainable Sand Management in the Colorado River. Objective(s) of our study were to identify dam release strategies for improved management of sand resources in Grand Canyon. These data represent model inputs. Hydrology inputs were derived from U.S...
