Historical bathymetry and bathymetric change within San Francisco Bay, California: 1855 to 2005 Historical bathymetry and bathymetric change within San Francisco Bay, California: 1855 to 2005

Here we present a time series of San Francisco Bay bathymetric grids created from historical hydrographic surveys collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS) and its predecessor, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, from the 1850s to 1980s and one additional survey of south San Francisco Bay collected in 2005 by Sea Surveyor, Inc. Using surface modeling software, the soundings...

Fire records (levoglucosan, mannosan, and galactosan) recorded in the deep Denali, AK ice core from ~360 to 2013 CE Fire records (levoglucosan, mannosan, and galactosan) recorded in the deep Denali, AK ice core from ~360 to 2013 CE

Monosaccharide anhydrides (MAs), or anhydrosugars which include levoglucosan, mannosan, and galactosan are combustion products of cellulose and hemicellulose that are used as biomass burning tracers. These fire biomarkers are incorporated into smoke plumes, transported through the atmosphere, and return to the surface through wet and dry deposition that can be archived in ice cores. Here...

PIT Tags Encountered by Klamath Falls Field Station Equipment in the Upper Klamath Basin 1993-2024 (ver. 4.0, August 2024) PIT Tags Encountered by Klamath Falls Field Station Equipment in the Upper Klamath Basin 1993-2024 (ver. 4.0, August 2024)

Data were collected as part of a long-term capture-recapture program to assess the status and dynamics of populations of two long-lived, federally endangered catostomids in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon and Clear Lake Reservoir, California. Lost River suckers (LRS; Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (SNS; Chasmistes brevirostris) have been captured and tagged with passive integrated...
