Data release for luminescence: Edwards Air Force Base (CA) and CA Water Science Center report including luminescence data and ages Data release for luminescence: Edwards Air Force Base (CA) and CA Water Science Center report including luminescence data and ages
The following report summarizes the dating results from Aeolian deposits within and around Edwards Air Force Base in California. Within this report, we detail the methodology used by the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory to obtain ages including sample preparation methods, luminescence measurement, equivalent dose determination, and dating related calculations. We recommend that...
Data Release for Luminescence: Floodplain Sediment Storage Timescales of the Laterally Confined Meandering Powder River, U.S.A Data Release for Luminescence: Floodplain Sediment Storage Timescales of the Laterally Confined Meandering Powder River, U.S.A
The following report summarizes the dating results from the. Within this report, we detail the methodology used to determine the storage time distribution for a 17 km length of Powder River in Montana, U.S.A. by the age distribution of eroded sediment. This data is used by the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory to obtain ages including sample preparation methods, luminescence...
Data Release for Luminescence: Geologic map of Scoggins Dam, Henry Hagg Lake, and the Scoggins Valley area, Washington County, Oregon Data Release for Luminescence: Geologic map of Scoggins Dam, Henry Hagg Lake, and the Scoggins Valley area, Washington County, Oregon
The Bureau of Reclamation's Scoggins Dam lies within the Gales Creek fault zone southwest of Hillsboro, Oregon. Recent geologic mapping shows the dam to overlie a potentially active strand of the fault. This report describes the geology of the dam in detail and confirms that the dam overlies a strand of the Gales Creek fault. The report documents small faults in the reservoir and off the...
Data Release for Luminescence: Late Holocene rupture history of the Ash Hill Fault, Eastern California Shear Zone, and the potential for seismogenic strain transfer between nearby faults Data Release for Luminescence: Late Holocene rupture history of the Ash Hill Fault, Eastern California Shear Zone, and the potential for seismogenic strain transfer between nearby faults
The following report summarizes the dating results from sedimentary deposits exposed by soil pits in Panamint Valley, CA. Within this report, we detail the methodology used by the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory to obtain ages including sample preparation methods, luminescence measurement, equivalent dose determination, and dating-related calculations.
Data Release for Luminescence: Luminescence data for Natural Trap Cave, Wyoming Data Release for Luminescence: Luminescence data for Natural Trap Cave, Wyoming
The following report summarizes the dating results from the Natural Trap Cave 2018-2019 dating project. Within this report, we detail the methodology used by the USGS Luminescence Geochronology Laboratory to obtain ages including sample preparation methods, luminescence measurement, equivalent dose determination, and dating-related calculations. We recommend that this report be included...
Data Release for Luminescence: Mid to Late Quaternary Geomorphic and Paleoseismic Event History, Cheraw Fault, Colorado Data Release for Luminescence: Mid to Late Quaternary Geomorphic and Paleoseismic Event History, Cheraw Fault, Colorado
Despite its subdued expression and isolated location within the Great Plains of southeastern Colorado, the 80-km-long Cheraw fault may be one of the most active faults in North America east of the Southern Rocky Mountains. We present geomorphic analyses, geochronology, and paleoseismic trenching data to 1) document the rupture history of the ~45-km-long southwestern section of the Cheraw...
Data Release for Luminescence: Paleoseismic liquefaction associated with Holocene earthquakes on the Wallula Fault zone, Southeast Washington, USA Data Release for Luminescence: Paleoseismic liquefaction associated with Holocene earthquakes on the Wallula Fault zone, Southeast Washington, USA
Observations of widespread liquefaction and stratigraphic and structural relationships in a trench across an ambiguous scarp are used to constrain the timing of Holocene earthquakes on the northwest-striking Wallula fault zone in southeast Washington and Oregon. Additional observations and age constraints from OSL analysis of samples collected from large-scale liquefaction features that...
Data release for Oxygen isotopes of land snail shells in high latitude regions Data release for Oxygen isotopes of land snail shells in high latitude regions
The present study investigates the environmental significance of the oxygen isotopic composition of several modern land snail species collected along two north-to-south transects in Alaska and Scandinavia at latitudes between 60 and 70 degrees N. We tested the hypothesis that land snail shell Delta18O values primarily track precipitation Delta18O. The results show that shell Delta18O...
Data release for Predicting the impacts of future sea level rise on specialist snake species in the imperiled pine rockland ecosystem of South Florida Data release for Predicting the impacts of future sea level rise on specialist snake species in the imperiled pine rockland ecosystem of South Florida
Approximately 90% of pine rockland habitat in South Florida and the Florida Keys, USA, has been lost, fragmented, and degraded due to urbanization and other anthropogenic disturbances. Low-lying islands and coastal areas are also becoming increasingly vulnerable to sea-level rise and high tide flooding, which is rapidly increasing in frequency, depth, and extent, putting these areas and...
Data release for Quantitative method development to determine feed consumption using a dye Data release for Quantitative method development to determine feed consumption using a dye
The goal of this study was to develop a simple, cost effective method to mark fish through oral delivery of an indicator that could be qualitatively and quantitively assessed based on consumption. Our objectives were to 1) determine the concentration of orally administered Sudan Black B required for qualitative confirmation of ingestion, 2) trace the biodistribution of Sudan Black B in...
Data release for Seasonality of precipitation in the southwestern United States during the late Pleistocene inferred from stable isotopes in herbivore tooth enamel Data release for Seasonality of precipitation in the southwestern United States during the late Pleistocene inferred from stable isotopes in herbivore tooth enamel
The late Pleistocene was a climatically dynamic period, with abrupt shifts between cool-wet and warm-dry conditions. Increased effective precipitation supported large pluvial lakes and long-lived spring ecosystems in valleys and basins throughout the western and southwestern U.S., but the source and seasonality of the precipitation are debated. Here we present stable carbon and oxygen...
Data Release for Secondary Hydrogeologic Regions of the Conterminous United States (ver. 2.0, June 2022) Data Release for Secondary Hydrogeologic Regions of the Conterminous United States (ver. 2.0, June 2022)
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) previously identified 62 Principal Aquifers (PAs) in the U.S., with 57 located in the conterminous states. The USGS characterized areas outside of PAs as “other rocks;” other rocks account for about 40% of the area of the conterminous states. This paper subdivides the large area identified as other rocks into Secondary Hydrogeologic Regions (SHRs). SHRs...
