Elicited constructed value of information scores for American kestrel uncertainties in the United States from a 2023 structured decision making workshop Elicited constructed value of information scores for American kestrel uncertainties in the United States from a 2023 structured decision making workshop
The American kestrel (Falco sparverius; hereafter kestrel) is a widespread but declining raptor species in North America. We organized a rapid prototyping workshop to use decision analysis to develop research priorities for understanding environmental drivers of population decline in the United States for the kestrel. The virtual workshop spanned 2.5 days and was held in-person in...
Infiltration data from mini disks and bottomless buckets: postfire soil hydrologic and biogeochemical response and recovery in northern California, USA Infiltration data from mini disks and bottomless buckets: postfire soil hydrologic and biogeochemical response and recovery in northern California, USA
California’s wildfires are setting historic records for length, size, and severity (Safford and others, 2022, Kreider and others, 2024). These wildfires are altering soil processes like infiltration rates and carbon cycling over increasingly large areas (Staley and others, 2017; Kelly and others, 2020; Baur and others, 2024; Dow and others, 2024). In northern California, it is unclear...

Stable Isotope Values of Black Oystercatchers and their Prey Stable Isotope Values of Black Oystercatchers and their Prey
These data contain carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios in samples of Black Oystercatcher tissues (feathers and claws), as well as tissues from several species of prey, including mussels, limpets, clams, and snails. Samples were collected across a significant portion of the Black Oystercatcher's range, including the coast of the northern Gulf of Alaska down to the Salish Sea in British...
Remote Surface Rupture Observations for the M7.7 2025 Mandalay, Burma (Myanmar) Earthquake Remote Surface Rupture Observations for the M7.7 2025 Mandalay, Burma (Myanmar) Earthquake
This data release contains datasets that depict fault rupture and surface displacement from the M7.7 Mandalay, Myanmar, earthquake on March 28, 2025. The earthquake caused ~475 km of right-lateral surface rupture on the Sagaing fault in Myanmar. These data were based on rapid analysis of available satellite data after the earthquake and updated as more information became available. They...
Proximal remote sensing data (ultrasonic, time-of-flight-laser, multispectral reflectance) supporting on-farm measurement of cover crop performance in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest, United States, 2020-2024 Proximal remote sensing data (ultrasonic, time-of-flight-laser, multispectral reflectance) supporting on-farm measurement of cover crop performance in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest, United States, 2020-2024
This data release contains processed scan data from the Active Canopy Sensor (ACS) -214 proximal sensing instrument associated with 1242 cover crop biomass samples from 2020 - 2024 across 13 states. The ACS-214 is an active proximal sensing device equipped with its own light-emitting red and near-infrared spectral reflectance sensors, a time-of-flight laser, and an ultrasonic sensor...
Collection of Network Tools to Advance Climate Adaptation in the Southwest Collection of Network Tools to Advance Climate Adaptation in the Southwest
Adaptation to climate change, a complex problem that requires innovative and collaborative solutions, can be aided by connecting individuals and helping them take action. A number of new networks, projects, and collaborations in the Southwest, aimed at helping advance climate adaptation outcomes, have developed tools, toolkits, portals, platforms, guidebooks, and other resources aimed at...

Total Applied Surface Water and Groundwater Irrigation Data from Four Areas to Support Analysis for Estimating Irrigation Consumptive Use for the Conterminous United States Total Applied Surface Water and Groundwater Irrigation Data from Four Areas to Support Analysis for Estimating Irrigation Consumptive Use for the Conterminous United States
This digital dataset contains irrigation applications and consumptive use at the agricultural-field scale (average 173 acres) and twelve-digit watershed scale (HUC12) for four regions in the conterminous United States representing calendar years 2000-2020. Agricultural field-scale irrigation depths of applied groundwater and surface water for selected agricultural fields were compiled...
InSAR time-series data of Mauna Loa, Hawai'i from 2015 to 2024 (ver. 1.1, January 2026) InSAR time-series data of Mauna Loa, Hawai'i from 2015 to 2024 (ver. 1.1, January 2026)
This dataset contains InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) time series data of the deformation state of Mauna Loa from 2015 to 2024.
