Migration Routes of Mule Deer in the Loyalton Herd in California and Nevada

The Loyalton mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) herd winters west and northwest of Reno, Nevada along the California-Nevada border, extending into the Peterson Mountains, east of Highway 395 in Nevada. A portion of the herd also winters north of I-80 on Peavine Mountain in Nevada. This population represents an interstate migratory herd but also contains year-round residents in both states. Deer migrate southwest into the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California on both sides of Highway 89 from Truckee to Sierraville, mostly staying north of I-80 and into the Tahoe National Forest. Significant challenges include urban development, vehicle collisions on Highways 89, 395, and I80, and large-scale wildfires that have burned winter ranges in both states. Three Highway 89 wildlife crossing structures were installed by California Department of Transportation and the Highway 89 Stewardship Team at Kyburz Flats and two at Sagehen Summit to mitigate impacts from vehicle collisions.
These data provide the location of migration routes for mule deer in the Loyalton population in California and Nevada. They were developed from 76 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 31 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-3 hours.

CoSMoS (Coastal Storm Modeling System) Southern California v3.0 Phase 2 wave-hazard projections: 20-year storm in Santa Barbara County

Model-derived significant wave height (in meters) for the given storm condition and sea-level rise (SLR) scenario.
The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) makes detailed predictions (meter-scale) over large geographic scales (100s of kilometers) of storm-induced coastal flooding and erosion for both current and future sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios. CoSMoS v3.0 for Southern California shows projections for future climate scenarios (sea-level rise and storms) to provide emergency responders and coastal planners with critical storm-hazards information that can be used to increase public safety, mitigate physical damages, and more effectively manage and allocate resources within complex coastal settings.
Model details and data sources are outlined in CoSMoS_3.0_Phase_2_Southern_California_Bight:_Summary_of_data_and_methods (available at https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/57f1d4f3e4b0bc0bebfee139?name=CoSMoS_SoCalv3_Phase2_summary_of_methods.pdf). Phase 2 data for Southern California include flood-hazard information for the coast from the border of Mexico to Pt. Conception. Several changes from Phase 1 projections are reflected in many areas; please read the Summary of methods and inspect output carefully.  Data are complete for the information presented.

California Mule Deer Grizzly Flat Stopovers

The Grizzly Flat herd winters in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada near Grizzly Flats, California. The winter range includes conifer, vineyards, and oak woodland that is shared with a resident portion of the herd on a mix of private and public lands. In the spring, the Grizzly Flat herd migrates east to higher elevation terrain in the El Dorado National Forest, staying south of Interstate 50 and primarily north of U.S. Highway 88, to the crest of the Sierra Nevada. The summer range contains primarily mixed conifer opening up to high alpine granite near the crest of the Sierra Nevada. Although the population size of the Grizzly Flat herd is unknown due to limited surveys, it is considered stable to declining, affected primarily by dense overstory, environmental stressors, and habitat loss. This GPS collaring project was designed as part of a region-wide effort to obtain abundance estimates for deer using fecal DNA and home range analyses, with pinpointing migration routes and identifying winter ranges a secondary priority. Due to the small sample size of GPS-tagged mule deer, additional migration routes and winter ranges probably exist beyond the extent of our model output.
These mapping layers show the location of the migration stopovers for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Grizzly Flat population in California. They were developed from 16 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 5 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-13 hours.

Underwater temperature data collected from off-shore coral reefs of the Florida Keys, U.S.A. (Version 5)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coral Reef Ecosystems Studies (CREST) project (https://coastal.er.usgs.gov/crest/) provides science that helps resource managers tasked with the stewardship of coral reef resources. Coral reef organisms are very sensitive to high and low water-temperature extremes. It is critical to precisely know water temperatures experienced by corals and associated plants and animals that live in the dynamic nearshore environment to document thresholds in temperature tolerance. This dataset provides underwater temperature data recorded every fifteen minutes from 2009 to 2019 at six off-shore coral reefs in the Florida Keys, USA. From northeast to southwest, these sites are Fowey Rocks (Biscayne National Park), Molasses Reef (Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, FKNMS, site terminated in 2013), Crocker Reef (FKNMS, site added in 2013), Sombrero Reef (FKNMS), Pulaski Shoal Light(Dry Tortugas National Park), and Pulaski Shoal West (Dry Tortugas National Park, site added in 2016). A portion of the dataset included here was interpreted in conjunction with coral and algal calcification rates in Kuffner and others (2013).

Geodatabase of Groundwater Discharge Estimates to Streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of the Department of Interior WaterSmart Program 
compiled published estimates of groundwater discharge to streams in the Upper Colorado River 
Basin into a dataset and developed a geospatial database. For the purpose of this compilation, 
groundwater discharge to streams consists of base-flow, and may include contributions from 
groundwater discharge from various flow paths, lateral seepage, hyporheic flow, and irrigation 
return flow. Stream reaches from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) where there was 
groundwater discharge estimates were delineated in the geospatial database. Attributes 
describing the methods used for estimating groundwater discharge were created. Feature 
class attributes associated with each stream reach include: groundwater discharge (acre-ft/yr), 
method of measurement, report reference, defined reach, base flow index estimate (acre-ft/yr), 
and 8-digit HUC(s) (hydrologic unit code(s) for the reach). In addition, groundwater discharge 
estimates were calculated using attributes from a flow characteristics dataset (Wolock, 2003), 
the average annual base-flow index (BFI) value and the average daily streamflow value. The 
calculated groundwater discharge estimates were  included in the database as separate 
attributes and were compared to reported estimates of groundwater discharge. Groundwater 
discharge estimates calculated using BFI were greater than reported groundwater discharge 
estimates.

Thin section images, automated mineralogy scans, lithogeochemistry, and Nd-Sr-Pb isotopic analysis of samples from a mostly buried layered mafic intrusion, Wet Mountains, Colorado 2022-2024

This dataset includes thin section images, automated mineralogy mineral maps, whole-rock geochemical data, and whole-rock Nd-Sr-Pb isotopic analysis of samples collected from nine mafic-ultramafic outcrops in the Wet Mountains, southern Colorado, during the summer of 2022. These data will accompany an upcoming journal publication and are intended to supplement recently collected airborne magnetic and ground gravity data that indicate a mostly buried mafic-ultramafic intrusion of unknown age (Grauch et al., 2023; Magnin and Anderson, 2023; Magnin et al., 2023).  Outcrop locations were identified based on previous mapping by Taylor (1974). A single thin section was made from each sample, and both plain- and cross-polarized light (PPL and XPL, respectively) images were taken of the entire section using a flatbed film scanner. Automated mineralogy (AM) scans were collected from half of each thin section using a TESCAN Integrated Mineral Analyzer (TIMA) at the Colorado School of Mines Mineral and Materials characterization facility. Whole-rock major and trace element geochemistry of samples used for thin sections and of separate compositional layers in thin section JWM-129 (i.e., JWM-129.1, -129.2) were analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd., Ancaster, Ontario. Platinum group element chemistry was collected and analyzed by AGAT Laboratories, Calgary, Alberta. Five whole-rock samples and two mineral separates were analyzed using Sm-Nd thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) at the University of Colorado Boulder TIMS Facility and Clean Room. The same five whole-rock samples were also analyzed for Rb-Sr and Pb-Pb isotopes using TIMS at the same lab. All analyses were performed between October 2022 and February 2024. 
The images contained in the zip file are categorized by sample name and additionally labeled with PPL, XPL, and AM categories. Automated mineralogy image names end with a letter indicating whether the top (T), bottom (B), left (L), or right (R) half of the thin section was scanned. A csv file of the modal mineral percentages from automated mineralogy is also included in the zip file. Sample locations/descriptions, whole rock geochemistry, Nd-Sr-Pb isotopes, and a data dictionary are included in csv files.

Rain measurements in the Dolan Fire Area, Los Padres National Forest, California, 2021 to 2022

Rainfall measurements were collected in and near the Dolan Fire burn area, Los Padres National Forest, California. The Dolan Fire ignited on August 18, 2020. By the time of full containment on December 31, 2020, the fire had burned 518 km2 (128,050 acres) in Monterey County. Post-fire debris flows occurred in many watersheds burned by the Dolan Fire during the first post-fire wet season, in winter 2021. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) installed seven rain gages within the Dolan Fire burn area in October 2021 to measure rainfall during the second post-fire wet season. The USGS gratefully acknowledges permission granted by Los Padres National Forest for the collection of these data.
