Data

These data are the basis of the figures in the manuscript "A Wideband magnetoresistive sensor for monitoring dynamic fault slip in laboratory fault friction experiments". That report was the result of an investigation of a non-contact, wideband method of sensing dynamic fault slip in laboratory geophysical experiments which employs an inexpensive magnetoresistive sensor, a small neodymium rare ear

These data include two spreadsheets. The first is average daily temperatures received via satellite transmitting collars deployed on polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea 1986-2013. The second is denning classifications for adult female polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea using the temperature data. Denning was classified using a control chart-based algorithm applied to the temperature d

From 14 May to 6 October 2016 measurements of gas and heat emissions were made at Bison Flat, an acid-sulfate, vapor-dominated area (0.04-km2) of Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, WY. An eddy covariance system measured half-hourly CO2, H2O and sensible and latent heat fluxes, air temperature and pressure, wind speed and direction, soil moisture and rainfall. A Multi-GAS instrument me

This metadata record covers 5 comma delimited ascii files that contain sediment source sample data, sediment target sample data, quantitation limits for samples, and daily temperature data. This data release is a companion to the journal article Sediment fingerprinting to delineate sources of fine-grained sediment in the agricultural and forested Smith Creek watershed, Virginia (2012-2015).

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project, conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms and longer-term processes related to sediment supply and sea-level rise. On July 24, 2010, the USGS's NACCH project conducted an oblique

Historic, recent, and present day bathymetry data sets were compiled and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were created to further compare changing bathymetry over several time periods. This work was completed in cooperation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile, Alabama and the National Park Service (NPS) as part of the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (MsCIP).

The Waccasassa River is located in a small watershed situated along the middle section of the low-gradient, low-energy, sediment-starved Big Bend coast in west central Florida. The river mouth empties into the head of the shallow, microtidal Waccasassa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The lower end of the river and the surrounding coastline are dominated by coast-parallel Juncus roemerianus salt marshe

Data are time series of substrate grain size, remotely sensed water column turbidity, and measures of abundance (e.g., density, percent cover) of the nearshore subtidal (3-17 m depth) benthic community (vegetation, invertebrates, and fish) collected before (2008-2011) and during dam removal (2012-2014).

Above- and belowground production in coastal wetlands are important contributors to carbon accumulation and ecosystem sustainability. As sea level rises, we can expect shifts to more salt-tolerant communities, which may alter these ecosystem functions and services. Although the direct influence of salinity on species-level primary production has been documented, we lack an understanding of the lan

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in collaboration with the Platte River Recovery and Implementation Program, collected capacitively coupled (CC) resistivity data and six direct push sediment cores to identify the coarsest alluvial deposits underlying the Morse properties in central Nebraska to supplement the subsurface geologic information, for the purposes of proper siting of intentional rechar

This Data Release includes information used to support numerical simulations of variably-saturated flow focused on measurement-based variability in soil-water retention properties for the U.S. Geological Survey's San Francisco Bay Area "BALT1" landslide monitoring site in the East Bay region of California, USA (see Thomas et al., 2018). The eight datasets are: (1) geologic and instrumentation logs

The sampling of three hydrologically diverse Minnesota Lakes (Williams Lake, Shingobee Lake, and Lake Manganika) took place during the years of 2012 to 2013. Water samples were collected and filtered in the field using 0.45 micrometer capsule filters (Versapor membrane), silicon tubing, and a peristaltic pump. Water samples were then shipped on ice to the U.S. Geological Survey in Boulder, Colorad
