Gravity, density, and magnetic property measurements of the Sierra Nevada, California and Nevada Gravity, density, and magnetic property measurements of the Sierra Nevada, California and Nevada
This data release presents point data associated with the geologic and geophysical maps of the Sierra Nevada Digital Earth Science Atlas led by the California Geological Survey and U.S. Geological Survey. Data include principal fact information for new gravity measurements collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 2012 to 2023 and for existing gravity measurements compiled from 21...
Landslides triggered by the February 2019 atmospheric river storm, western Riverside County, California, USA Landslides triggered by the February 2019 atmospheric river storm, western Riverside County, California, USA
On February 14th, 2019, a strong atmospheric river storm (AR4 on the Atmospheric River scale of Ralph et al., 2019) struck California. The heavy rainfall caused landslides in both northern and southern California (Hatchett et al., 2020). This data release includes two subsets of mapped shallow landslide source locations in the vicinity of western Riverside County, California, where...
Laboratory Evaluation of Phototaxis in Cultured Cisco Larvae Laboratory Evaluation of Phototaxis in Cultured Cisco Larvae
Field observations in a Lake Ontario embayment suggested that there is a phototaxic response of larval cisco that changes with development. This switch was verified using cultured cisco in a laboratory environment. These data include counts of cisco larvae at three depth ranges within multiple 95 liter tanks. Each tank of larvae were exposed to one of three different light treatments...
Foundational Geospatial Layers for South Carolina StreamStats 2024 Foundational Geospatial Layers for South Carolina StreamStats 2024
In cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the U.S. Geological Survey updated the foundational geospatial layers for the South Carolina StreamStats web application (https://water.usgs.gov/osw/streamstats/), which provides analytical tools useful for water-resources planning and management (Kolb and others, 2018). This dataset presents the digital elevation model...
Landslides triggered by the January 10th, 2005 storm in the vicinity of La Conchita, Ventura County, California, USA Landslides triggered by the January 10th, 2005 storm in the vicinity of La Conchita, Ventura County, California, USA
The area surrounding La Conchita, California (CA), USA experienced significant landslides and debris flows following a storm on January 10th, 2005, including a deadly deep-seated landslide that destroyed 13 houses and caused 10 fatalities (Jibson, 2006). This data release documents the locations of shallow landslide source locations in the vicinity of the deadly 2005 La Conchita...
Future Climate and Hydrology from Twenty Localized Constructed Analog (LOCA) Scenarios and the Basin Characterization Model (BCMv8) (ver. 1.1, November 2024) Future Climate and Hydrology from Twenty Localized Constructed Analog (LOCA) Scenarios and the Basin Characterization Model (BCMv8) (ver. 1.1, November 2024)
This data release contains monthly 270-meter resolution Basin Characterization Model (BCMv8) climate and hydrologic variables for Localized Constructed Analog (LOCA; Pierce et al., 2014)-downscaled Global Climate Models (GCMs) for Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 (medium-low emissions) and 8.5 (high emissions) for hydrologic California. The 20 future climate scenarios...
