Geothermal resource favorability: select features and predictions for the western United States curated for DOI 10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102662
The data contained herein are five input features (i.e., heat flow, distance to the nearest quaternary fault, distance to the nearest quaternary magma body, seismic event density, maximum horizontal stress) and labels (i.e., where known geothermal systems have been identified) from Williams and DeAngelo (2008) and nine favorability maps from Mordensky et al. (2023). The favorability maps are the u
Aeromagnetic Data and horizontal gradient maxima of Blythe, California, and Surrounding Areas in California and Arizona
This data release provides access to an aeromagnetic survey and magnetization boundaries over Blythe, California and surrounding areas in southern California and western Arizona. The survey extends east of Joshua Tree National Park across the Colorado River and west over the Dome Rock, Trigo, and Plomosa Mountains in Arizona. The survey was flown north of the Chocolate Mountains Gunnery Range over
Dataset Establishing Temporal Duration of Two Shield Volcanoes in Northern California
This dataset contains paleomagnetic data from 30 sites at two locations in northern California (16 sites at Ash Creek Butte and 14 sites at Crater Mountain), magnetic susceptibility-temperature curves for selected samples at Ash Creek Butte, and geochemical data for map units at Crater Mountain.
Sopori Wash sub-basin gravity data, Pima and Santa Cruz Counties, Arizona
This data release contains new Earths gravity data from the Sopori Wash sub-basin in Pima and Santa Cruz Counties, Arizona. Data were acquired in January and March of 2017.
Geochemical data for the Thunder Mountain volcanic field and dikes in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district region
This dataset contains whole rock geochemical data for volcanic rocks, both extrusive rocks of the western part of the Thunder Mountain volcanic field and hypabyssal dikes in the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district and in the Pistol Creek dike swarm, which are in central Idaho. Major oxides and trace elements are included, which are reported as percentages and parts per million, respectively. Major oxide
Surfaces representing the basal mineralized zone in the South Kawishiwi, Bathtub, and Partridge River Intrusions, Duluth Complex, Minnesota
This dataset includes five Esri grids representing the copper-nickel-platinum group element (Cu-Ni-PGE) mineralized zone found in the South Kawishiwi, Bathtub, and Partridge River intrusions, Duluth Complex, Minnesota. The data are also presented in .csv format to provide an open-source file type. We are using the term "basal mineralized zone" (bmz) as an informal term representing the mineralized
Gravity data and geophysical gradient data of the Stockton 30 x 60 minute quadrangle, California
This data release presents point data associated with the geologic and geophysical maps of the Stockton 30 x 60 minute quadrangle, California. Data include principal fact information for new gravity measurements collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 2015 to 2018 and for existing gravity data. Gravity and magnetic gradients were also calculated in the Stockton 30 x 60 minute quadrangle, Cali
Aeromagnetic Data and horizontal gradient maxima of Garlock, California, and Surrounding Areas in California
This data release provides access to an aeromagnetic survey and magnetization boundaries over Garlock, California and surrounding areas in southern California. The survey extends from the city of Bakersfield across the southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains and west over Indian Wells Valley and the towns of Mojave and Rosamond to just northwest of the town of Barstow. These data were acqui
Magnetotelluric data across the Southern San Andreas Fault Zone, California
The Southern San Andreas fault (SSAF) poses one of the largest seismic risks in California. However, structural properties around Coachella Valley remain enigmatic. In 2019, we collected magnetotelluric soundings (MT) to help inform depth-dependent fault zone geometry, fluid content and porosity. This project was led by the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of Califor
Digital photographs using a remotely piloted unoccupied aerial system and derived point clouds for bluffs in Ludington, MI, July 11, 2019, and July 14, 2021
Images were collected using a remotely piloted unoccupied aerial system (UAS) over the bluffs of the eastern shore of Lake Michigan in Ludington rural area, Mason County, MI. Images were collected in two separate surveys conducted on July 11, 2019, and July 14, 2021, using a DJI Phantom 3 and 4 PRO commercial UAS respectively operated by the University of Toledo. The images cover an extent between
Short vs intermediate-term fate of glucose and oxalic acid in surface and subsurface soils of a coastal grassland near Santa Cruz California
Though the primary sources of organic matter to soil are plant inputs, the role of microorganisms as mediators of soil organic carbon preservation is increasingly recognized in the context of biological contributions to long-lived soil organic matter. However, current knowledge of sub-soil processes is insufficient to model microbial-derived carbon flow particularly at depth. Using a previously st
Digital database of geologic units, contacts, and faults for Mineral Resource Potential Map of the Turtle Mountains Wilderness Study Area, San Bernardino County, California (U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1713-B, 1988, Plate 1)
This map geodatabase digitally represents the general distribution of bedrock geologic map units in the Turtle Mountains area, California, as portrayed in Plate 1 of USGS Bulletin 1713-B, Mineral resources of the Turtle Mountains Wilderness Study Area, San Bernardino County, California (1988), https://doi.org/10.3133/b1713B. The map covers parts of the Rice, Turtle Mountains, and Savahia Peak 15’
