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.

Sentinel-2 burned area reference data across the southeastern United States Sentinel-2 burned area reference data across the southeastern United States
The creation of reference data to validate burned area products can help characterize variability in product errors and ensure appropriate utilization of burned area products. Reference burned area was mapped for six Sentinel-2 tiles distributed across the southeastern U.S. including within Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, and Virginia. Within each tile reference data were generated...
Habitat suitability and environmental covariates for the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi obscurus) Habitat suitability and environmental covariates for the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi obscurus)
This data release contains the spatial raster outputs from analyses of habitat suitability of the New Mexico ridge-nosed rattlesnake (NMRR), Crotalus willardi obscurus. This species is one of five recognized of the ridge-nosed rattlesnakes and was federally listed as threatened in 1978 due primarily to perceived threats of over collection and a very narrowly restricted range. This range...
Fine-scale Habitat Environmental Predictor Layers for rare Cacti and Herbaceous Plants in the Arid Southwest Fine-scale Habitat Environmental Predictor Layers for rare Cacti and Herbaceous Plants in the Arid Southwest
This dataset contains raster layers of environmental characteristics used to predict habitat suitability for multiple species of perennial cactus and herbs in the arid southwest. These data were developed from Sentinel-2 imagery, a digital elevation model, and one obtained from the Google Earth Engine data catalog. These datasets can be used to model habitat suitability of species with
Expert Identified Interventions to Support Chronic Wasting Disease Management in 2022 Expert Identified Interventions to Support Chronic Wasting Disease Management in 2022
Experts from disciplines relevant to chronic wasting disease (CWD) management participated in a facilitated elicitation workshop sessions from 02/23/2022 to 03/16/2022 that identified potential management interventions. These interventions were organized into thematic categories, and each theme was prioritized through a structured voting process in which participants could select up to...
Luminescence data associated with depositional timing and fluvial strath terrace abandonment with multiple chronometers near the Stinking Springs fault in southwestern Colorado Luminescence data associated with depositional timing and fluvial strath terrace abandonment with multiple chronometers near the Stinking Springs fault in southwestern Colorado
This data release contains data associated with six infrared stimulated luminescence samples collected to investigate strath terraces along Dutton Creek, near Pagosa Springs, Colorado. The terraces are capped with loess deposits and glacial outwash derived from Fourmile Creek at the edge of the San Juan Mountains. Results reveal evidence for the Bull Lake glaciation and outwash likely...
Geochronological Data for: Age and recurrence of paleoseismic surface faulting at the Dry Canyon trench site, northern Red Rock fault, Red Rock Valley, southwestern Montana Geochronological Data for: Age and recurrence of paleoseismic surface faulting at the Dry Canyon trench site, northern Red Rock fault, Red Rock Valley, southwestern Montana
Prominent scarps across alluvial fans along the northeast Tendoy Mountains in southwest Montana are evidence of late Quaternary surface ruptures on the 34 km-long Red Rock fault. Previous evaluations of the fault scarp characteristics, the distribution and ages of hanging wall alluvial fans, and the attributes of footwall drainage basins led to subdivision of the Red Rock fault into two...
Rock magnetic data from the Blanca Peak region of the Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado Rock magnetic data from the Blanca Peak region of the Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado
This data release presents field and laboratory rock magnetic measurements from rocks from the Blanca Peak region of the Sangre de Cristo Range in southern Colorado. These data include averages of magnetic susceptibility from 2 to 12 measurements per site made with a handheld meter, quantifying magnetic contrasts between rock units that could be detected in geophysical surveys...
Digital data of subsurface isopach and structural features from the Palo Duro Basin and Texas Panhandle Digital data of subsurface isopach and structural features from the Palo Duro Basin and Texas Panhandle
The U.S. Geological Survey’s National Geologic Synthesis Project is engaged in data preservation and compilation across the United States. As a part of this broader effort, this data release serves digitized structure contour, isopach, and fault lines from a series of previously published maps of the Palo Duro Basin and the surrounding uplifts within the Texas Panhandle (Dutton 1980...
Luminescence data for the Quaternary geologic map of the Mesquite Springs fault zone, San Bernardino County, California Luminescence data for the Quaternary geologic map of the Mesquite Springs fault zone, San Bernardino County, California
This data release contains eight luminescence samples collected for USGS Science Investigations Map, "Quaternary geologic map of the Mesquite Springs fault zone, San Bernardino County, California", of the Mesquite Hills (north of Ludlow CA about halfway between I-15 and I-40). The samples were analyzed by infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) and produced ages between ~33 ka and ~200...
Geochronologic data for selected subbasins of Stinking Water Gulch, Rio Blanco County, Colorado, 2015–2020 Geochronologic data for selected subbasins of Stinking Water Gulch, Rio Blanco County, Colorado, 2015–2020
This data release contains traditional and portable optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) data collected from the Stinking Water Creek Basin near Rangely, Colorado, to constrain the timing of alluvial deposition and channel evolution in landscapes underlain by the Late Cretaceous Mancos Shale. The dataset includes OSL measurements from fluvial terraces, modern stream channels, and...
High resolution natural color imagery collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 7-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Horseshoe Bend near Jensen, Utah from 2024-2025 High resolution natural color imagery collected by uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 7-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Horseshoe Bend near Jensen, Utah from 2024-2025
The U.S. Geological Survey collected low-altitude airborne natural color imagery via a fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) for mapping channel and vegetation change along a 7-mile reach of the Middle Green River at Horseshoe Bend near Jensen, Utah. Visual imagery was collected in jpg format and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques were applied (Over et al., 2021)...
