These data provide current and future projected post-fire invasion risk by non-native short-lived grasses and forbs based on vegetation cover data from 26,729 plots in the western United States that burned prior to being sampled. Projected post-fire invasion risk was calculated using random forests with gridded climate, soil, and topographic predictor variables following Prevéy et al....

Samples of silicified wood remnants from 8 trees were collected under research permit YELL-SCI-8030 on June 17, 2023, and on September 19, 2023 adjacent to Artemisia Geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. Samples were collected for radiocarbon (14C) dating of the wood to determine when the trees grew. Trees do not grow on active geyser mounds (Hurwitz and others...

Optical spectra reported here are collected from 17 surface water sampling sites within the Fraser River, a headwaters drainage of the Upper Colorado River Basin in the central western United States. The sample collection was conducted as part of the partnership between the United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) Next Generation Water Observation System (NGWOS) and Proxies Project, in

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides whole rock major, minor, and trace element geochemical data for Neogene rocks in the Central Death Valley volcanic field (CDVVF), California. Samples from the CDVVF were collected in order to constrain the temporal and compositional magmatic evolution of the area.

Between 2011 and 2018, numerous restoration treatments were constructed in the Straight and Braided and Straight Reaches of the Kootenai River in northern Idaho as part of the Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Project. Led by the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, the project aimed to address a range of anthropogenic impacts inhibiting natural recruitment of the critically endangered Kootenai...

These data were compiled to provide gridded estimates of environmental suitability for pinyon-juniper species in western North America. These gridded suitability projections provide estimates of suitability under current climate conditions and future climate conditions and allow for visualization of suitability change across each species’ entire range. These data consist of gridded...

This dataset represents 505 campsites along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon with associated debris flow probabilities calculated for approximately a 100-year period (Griffiths and others, 2004) and geomorphic attributes mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center, Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GCMRC) (Hadley and others, 2018). The campsite...

This dataset represents 763 tributary canyons and/or watersheds adjacent to the Colorado River in Grand Canyon with associated debris flow probabilities from 2004. Also, these data include tributary canyon and/or watersheds to Glen Canyon and several smaller watersheds in Grand Canyon where debris flow data is currently unavailable. Historic probabilities of debris flow occurrence were...

This data release contains model output of water level elevation time series generated by the Simulating WAves till SHore (SWASH) model to simulate storm-induced water levels from Hurricane Isaias at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina (NC), USA. Water levels were simulated along three different cross-shore profiles over a period of 10 hours around the peak of the storm from 2300 GMT on...

These processed data were created to investigate seismic velocity changes associated with the period of extended unrest and eruption at Mauna Loa, Island of Hawaiʻi. Primary data (i.e., seismic waveforms) are hosted at NSF SAGE Facility (https://service.iris.edu/) and were ingested by the code CWIRE Version 1.0.0 (https://doi.org/10.5066/P13BKSJJ) to produce the data analyzed in Hotovec...

REDPy (short for Repeating Earthquake Detector in Python) is a seismic tool for automatically detecting and grouping earthquakes based on the similarity of their waveforms into "families" of related events. It can be used in near real-time for monitoring or for research. The catalogs in this release bracket the late-2022 eruption of Mauna Loa, Island of Hawaiʻi; two separate catalogs are...

This dataset contains tabular data at three scales (city, tract, and synoptic site) and related vector shapefiles (for watersheds or buffers around synoptic sites) for areas included in the Carbon in Urban River Biogeochemistry Project (CURB) to assess how social, built, and biophysical factors shape aquatic functions. The city scale included 486 urban areas in the continental United...
