Data Release - Pleistocene Glaciation in the Upper Platte River Drainage Basin, Colorado

At times during the past two million years, glaciers formed in the mountainous part of the Platte River drainage basin.  These glaceriers were predominantly valley glaciers, also commonly referred to a s mountain or alpine glaciers. by definition, valley glaciers flow through pre-existing valleys and are bounded by exposed bedrock.  the deep valleys and canyons of the map area already existed at the beginning of the Ice Age as a result of regional uplift and subsequent erosion that occured from late Oligocene through Pliocene time.  the largest valley glacier in the map area was 45 km long and as much as 600 m thick.
During times when Pleistocene glaciers reached their maximum extent, about 10 percent of the mountainous part of the Platte River drainage basin in Colorado was glaciated.  Glaciation was concentrated in the southern Medicine Bow Mountains, western Front Range, and Mosquito Range.  In the Front Range, glaciers were limited mainly to an area of rugged peaks extending along the west edge of the range from near the southern end of the Medicine Bow Mountains to the northern end of South Park.  Most of the Front Range was not high enough to be glaciated.

Data on how Lepidium draba responds to damage of clones

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to test the ability of the invasive clonal plant, Lepidium draba, to cope with damage to local and different ramets.  The experiment was arranged in a fully factorial split-pot design that was blocked by bench position and provenance population of the plant.  Plants were grown in 'split pots', where two adjoining pots were glued together with a small opening for a lateral root to pass through.  A plant with a long lateral root was placed such that one ramet was in one pot, and a connected ramet was in the adjoining pot.  One ramet was randomly assigned as the 'local' ramet and the other was assigned as the 'neighbor' ramet.  Three treatments were applied in a fully factorial manner:  (1) connection of lateral root (connected / not connected), (2) damage to local ramet by a generalist herbivore Trichoplusia ni (damaged / undamaged); (3) damage to the local ramet by a specialist herbivore Pieris rapae (damaged / undamaged).  Measured responses were the amount of foliar damage to plants, the relative growth rate of a newly applied (bioassay) herbivore (T. ni), the belowground and aboveground biomass of each ramet, and the ability of the neighboring ramet to regrow following removal of aboveground biomass.

Contemporary fire history metrics for the conterminous United States (1984-2024) (ver. 4.0, March 2025)

Fire history metrics enable rapidly increasing amounts of burned area data to be collapsed into a handful of data layers that can be used efficiently by diverse stakeholders. In this effort, the U.S. Geological Survey's Landsat Burned Area product was used to identify burned area across CONUS over a 41-year period (1984-2024). The Landsat BA product was consolidated into a suite of annual BA products, which in-turn were used to calculate a series of contemporary fire history metrics (30 m resolution). Fire history metrics included: (1) fire frequency (FRQ), (2) time since last burn (TSLB) and (3) year of last burn (YLB), (4) longest fire-free interval (LFFI), and (5) average fire interval length (FIL). All metrics were reported using years as the unit. The FRQ, TSLB and YLB metrics are useful across a wide range of fire regimes, and can be used to inform risk of wildfire, answer fire-management questions, or support fire model parameterization. The FIL and LFFI, alternatively, provide data on the distribution of fire events across the period of record and can help guide land management in regions with frequent fire, such as the Midwest and Southeast.

Data Release for Luminescence:Paleoseismic liquefaction associated with Holocene earthquakes on the Wallula Fault zone, Southeast Washington, USA

Observations of widespread liquefaction and stratigraphic and structural relationships in a trench across an ambiguous scarp are used to constrain the timing of Holocene earthquakes on the northwest-striking Wallula fault zone in southeast Washington and Oregon. Additional observations and age constraints from OSL analysis of samples collected from large-scale liquefaction features that crosscut the Mount St Helens J tephra (13.8-13.7 ka) exposed at a nearby outcrop suggest up to 3 Holocene regional liquefaction events, any of which were likely triggered by seismic shaking sourced from either the Wallula fault and/or faults of the Yakima fold and thrust belt. Our observations provide plausible evidence supporting that the scarp formed during the M6 1936 Milton-Freewater earthquake. In addition, stratigraphic relationships observed in this study indicate that the end of the Missoula Floods in the southeast Washington region occurred sometime between 13.8–13.5 cal. k.y. B.P., approximately 1,000 years earlier than prior estimates.

Shot point navigation at even 500 shot intervals for EdgeTech SB-512i, EdgeTech SB-424, and Knudsen 3200 chirp seismic-reflection data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of Massachusetts within northern Cape Cod Bay (CCB_SeismicShot_500 shapefile)

These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts, primarily in water depths of 3-30 meters deep. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html). The data collected in the study area located in northern Cape Cod Bay Massachusetts includes high-resolution geophysics (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection), and ground validation (sediment samples, video tracklines, and bottom photographs). The data were collected during five separate surveys conducted between 2006 and 2008 and cover 480 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.
More information about the individual USGS surveys conducted as part of the northern Cape Cod Bay project can be found on the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Field Activity webpage:

Synthetic storm-driven flood-inundation grids for coastal communities along the Delaware Bay and adjacent to the South Dennis tide gage from North Cape May to Delmont, NJ

Digital flood-inundation maps for coastal communities within Cape May County in New Jersey were created by water surfaces generated by an Advanced Circulation hydrodynamic (ADCIRC) and Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) model from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region II coastal analysis and mapping study (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2014). Six synthetic modeled tropical storm events from a library of 159 events were selected based on parameters including landfall location or closest approach location, maximum wind speed, central pressure, and radii of winds. Two storm events were selected for the tide gage providing two "scenarios" and accompanying inundation-map libraries.
