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.

Data for forecasting buffelgrass distribution with global distribution data, local data, and physiological information Data for forecasting buffelgrass distribution with global distribution data, local data, and physiological information
This data bundle contains some of the inputs, all of the processing instructions and all outputs from two VisTrails/SAHM workflows, one creating a global habitat suitability model for buffelgrass and another creating a habitat suitability model for buffelgrass in Saguaro National Park, AZ. The bundle documentation files are: 1) '_archive_bundle_metadata.xml' (this file) which contains...
40Ar/39Ar geochronology of the Tonopah, Divide, and Goldfield districts, Nevada 40Ar/39Ar geochronology of the Tonopah, Divide, and Goldfield districts, Nevada
Ar/Ar data are reported from minerals and rocks that were collected as part of a mineral resource investigation of the Tonopah, Divide, and Goldfield districts in Nevada. Data are reported from 92 samples and associated standards from eight separate neutron irradiations in the Denver USGS TRIGA reactor, including separated mineral grains and whole rocks. Data were collected by infrared...
Standardized Precipitation Evaporation Index for the Upper Green River Basin (1896-2017) Standardized Precipitation Evaporation Index for the Upper Green River Basin (1896-2017)
The standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was summarized for the Upper Green River Basin to quantify climate variability over the last century. The SPEI incorporates both precipitation and temperature data, therefore the index has the capacity to include the effects of temperature variability on drought. The SPEI considers the difference between precipitation and...
Software to Process and Preserve Legacy Magnetotelluric Data Software to Process and Preserve Legacy Magnetotelluric Data
The USGS Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center (CGGSC) collaborated with the USGS Data at Risk (DaR) team to preserve and release a subset of magnetotelluric data from the San Andreas Fault in Parkfield, California. The San Andreas Fault data were collected by the Branch of Geophysics, a precursor to the now CGGSC, between 1989 and 1994. The magnetotelluric data selected for...

Data Release for Geologic Map of the Leadville North 7.5' Quadrangle, Eagle and Lake Counties, Colorado Data Release for Geologic Map of the Leadville North 7.5' Quadrangle, Eagle and Lake Counties, Colorado
The Leadville North 7.5' quadrangle lies at the northern end of the Upper Arkansas Valley, where the Continental Divide at Tennessee Pass creates a low drainage divide between the Colorado and Arkansas River watersheds. In the eastern half of the quadrangle, the Paleozoic sedimentary section dips generally 20-30 degrees east. At Tennessee Pass and Missouri Hill, the core of the Sawatch
Data release for ecosystem service flows from a migratory species: spatial subsidies of the northern pintail Data release for ecosystem service flows from a migratory species: spatial subsidies of the northern pintail
Migratory species provide important benefits to society, but their cross-border conservation poses serious challenges. By quantifying the economic value of ecosystem services (ES) provided across a species range and ecological data on a species habitat dependence, we estimate spatial subsidieshow different regions support ES provided by a species across its range. We illustrate this...
Multimetric Index macroinvertebrate values from the Fountain Creek Basin, Colorado 2005 to 2016. Multimetric Index macroinvertebrate values from the Fountain Creek Basin, Colorado 2005 to 2016.
These data have been collected as part of a cooperative project in between the U.S. Geological Survey Colorado Water Science Center, Colorado Springs Utility, and Colorado Springs Engineering. This project began in 2005 and has collected macroinvertebrate samples from Fountain Creek and its tributaries to monitor the biological condition of this watershed. Provided in this data release...
Real-time groundwater data sites in the WLCI area Real-time groundwater data sites in the WLCI area
Four wells in the WLCI area are continuously monitored to help describe the interaction between the groundwater and surface water.
Tolerance, phenology, and resistance data for streptanthus Tolerance, phenology, and resistance data for streptanthus
We collected data on tolerance using comparative approaches in a clade of mustards, emphasizing the variety of contexts in which damage is realistically tolerated. We estimated tolerance to leaf damage, tolerance to apical clipping at the bolting stage -simulating browsing- and resistance to a specialist and generalist lepidopteran herbivore for a group of native mustards, grown in field...
Seed set coefficients of variation for two-decade periods (1900-2013) Seed set coefficients of variation for two-decade periods (1900-2013)
Compiled 1086 datasets of plant seed production spanning 1900-2013 and from around the world were binned into 2-decade periods for which CV (coefficient of variation) of seed set was calculated. Skewness, dip test, mean, and kurtosis were calculated for the same periods.
