Data
Staff of USGS Science Centers in Region 7: Upper Colorado Basin collect a wide variety of natural resource data types including spatial, geologic, hydrologic, and biologic. Data included in USGS-series publications that are not publicly available in USGS databases are published in Data Releases. Short descriptions and links to Data Releases produced by Region 7 Science Centers are shown below.

Database for the geologic map of the upper Santa Cruz River basin, southern Arizona Database for the geologic map of the upper Santa Cruz River basin, southern Arizona
This digital publication contains the database, base maps, and style files used to build the geologic map of the upper Santa Cruz River basin in southern Arizona published in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3490 (Page and others, 2023). Shapefiles are also included for the user’s convenience. In the database, there are polygon features outlining the map units and...
Data related to great diversity of KSalpha genes from bat skin external microbiota, from Arizona and New Mexico, indicate novel PKSII biosynthetic gene clusters Data related to great diversity of KSalpha genes from bat skin external microbiota, from Arizona and New Mexico, indicate novel PKSII biosynthetic gene clusters
We documented the type two polyketide synthases(PKS II) gene diversity and novelty by sequencing KSalpha; genes known to synthesize bioactive small molecules. Sequences were derived from culturable bacteria isolated from bats in Arizona and New Mexico. We targeted the PKS II pathway which comprised a large proportion of the culture collection. Genomic analyses of a 16-member subset of...
SolVES SolVES
SolVES is a tool for modeling and mapping social survey response data in relation to explanatory environmental variables. SolVES 4.0 was developed as open-source software with Python and uses the free software packages QGIS for its user interface and PostgreSQL spatially enabled by PostGIS for its source database. Updates to the previous version include minor changes to the source...
Digital subsurface data from previously published contoured maps of the top of the Dakota Sandstone, Uinta and Piceance basins, Utah and Colorado Digital subsurface data from previously published contoured maps of the top of the Dakota Sandstone, Uinta and Piceance basins, Utah and Colorado
The top of the Upper Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone is present in the subsurface throughout the Uinta and Piceance basins of UT and CO and is easily recognized in the subsurface from geophysical well logs. This digital data release captures in digital form the results of two previously published contoured subsurface maps that were constructed on the top of Dakota Sandstone datum; one of the...
Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey data, southeastern San Joaquin Valley near Cawelo, California, 2016 Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey data, southeastern San Joaquin Valley near Cawelo, California, 2016
Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during October 2016 over a total distance of 262 line kilometers in the southeastern San Joaquin Valley near Cawelo, California. These data were collected in support of groundwater salinity mapping and hydrogeologic framework development as part of the U.S. Geological Survey California Oil, Gas, and Groundwater...
USGS BiblioSearch: A python tool to facilitate searching, cleaning, and compiling of literature search results from across multiple citation databases USGS BiblioSearch: A python tool to facilitate searching, cleaning, and compiling of literature search results from across multiple citation databases
USGS BiblioSearch is a python tool that performs literature searches across multiple citation databases via APIs or other web services in Python. The tool provides a quick method to query keywords and clean and compile results. Currently, the software includes methods to search four databases - Clarivate Web of Science, Elsevier Scopus, USGS Publications Warehouse, and USGS ScienceBase.
Argon data for HD-B1 intercalibration Argon data for HD-B1 intercalibration
This data release includes 40Ar/39Ar intercalibration data from the U.S. Geological Survey for neutron fluence monitors HD-B1 (Heidelberg biotite) and FCs (Fish Canyon sanidine). Potassium-bearing mineral grains were analyzed by argon geochronology at the U.S. Geological Survey Argon Geochronology Laboratory in Denver, Colorado. These data provide intercalibration information between the...
Geochemical data for the Elk Creek alkaline complex, southeast Nebraska Geochemical data for the Elk Creek alkaline complex, southeast Nebraska
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains analytical data from a suite of rock and mineral samples collected from drill core within the Elk Creek alkaline complex, southeast Nebraska. This complex hosts the Elk Creek carbonatite, a multilithologic carbonatite enriched in niobium, rare earth elements (REEs), scandium, and titanium. Mineralized carbonatites are the world's
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) geochemical data for apatite grains in rocks and stream sediments from the Taurus porphyry copper deposit area, eastern Tanacross quadrangle, Alaska Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) geochemical data for apatite grains in rocks and stream sediments from the Taurus porphyry copper deposit area, eastern Tanacross quadrangle, Alaska
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analyses of apatite provide trace element concentrations that support indicator mineral studies near the Taurus porphyry Cu-Mo deposit in the eastern Tanacross quadrangle, Alaska. The Taurus deposit and others in the region are mostly concealed, and traditional stream sediment samples typically show subdued...
Data release for Hydroclimate response of spring ecosystems to a two-stage Younger Dryas event in western North America Data release for Hydroclimate response of spring ecosystems to a two-stage Younger Dryas event in western North America
The Younger Dryas (YD) climate event is the preeminent example of abrupt climate change in the recent geologic past. Climate conditions during the YD were spatially complex, and high-resolution sediment cores in the North Atlantic, western Europe, and East Asia have revealed it unfolded in two distinct stages, including an initial stable climatic period between ~12.9 and 12.2 ka...
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: 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...
