Suspended sediment concentration and loads for the North Fork Nooksack River below Cascade Creek near Glacier, Washington, June 26, 2015 to October 31, 2016

Suspended-sediment samples were collected by NIT and USGS at the USGS streamgage North Fork Nooksack River below Cascade Creek near Glacier (12205000) from June 2015 to October 2016 over a range of discharge and turbidity conditions. Regression equations were developed to estimate the suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) and the concentration of fine suspended-sediment (fSSC; &lt;0.0625 mm) using turbidity as an explanatory variable. An hourly time series of SSC, fSSC, and the uncertainty of individual estimates (prediction intervals with 90 percent confidence) was computed and is provided. A daily time series of suspended-sediment load (SSL) and fine suspended-sediment load (fSSL) derived from hourly SSC and discharge data, was computed for the period of turbidity record. For periods when turbidity data were not available, daily SSL values were estimated by regression or interpolation.

Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard (Uma inornata) capture data (2017 and 2018)

This dataset includes location, field measurements, and descriptions of 330 Uma inornata sampled for the research study entitled “Sampling Across 20 Years (1996–2017) Reveals Loss of Diversity and Genetic Connectivity in the Coachella Valley Fringe-Toed Lizard (Uma inornata)”. Field sampling occurred between March and September of 2017 and between April and June of 2018. Lizards were located by visually searching dune habitat in all major populations. Sites included Windy Point, Willow Hole, Train Station, Whitewater, and the South Coachella Valley Preserve. In addition, satellite populations in the Indio Hills and individuals salvaged from Section 24 and translocated to Stebbin’s Dune were also sampled. Lizards were captured by hand or noose. Each individual was weighed, snout-vent length was measured, and sex, breeding and other body conditions were noted. Individuals were photographed with a standard color palette against a standard black background board. Finally, a small tail-clip was taken and stored in 95 percent ethanol for future genetic analysis. Individuals were released at the point of capture, with the exception that those collected in Section 24 were moved to Stebbins Dune.

County Population 2100 Baseline Scenario Colorado Plateau

Future county population was based on projections for 2100 from the Spatially Explicit Regional Growth
Model (SERGoM; Theobald 2005). SERGoM simulates population based on existing patterns of growth by census block, groundwater well and road density, and transportation distance to urban areas, while constraining the pattern of
development to areas outside of protected areas and urban areas (Theobald 2005). The dataset here is a projection for a “baseline” growth scenario that assumes a similar trajectory to that of current urban growth (Bierwagen et al. 2010).
SERGoM accuracy is estimated as 79–99% when compared to 1990 and 2000 census data, with the accuracy varying by urban/exurban/rural categories and increasing slightly with coarser resolution (Theobald 2005). The accuracy of future
model predictions with different economic scenarios is most sensitive to fertility rates, which are subject to cultural change, economic recessions, and the current pattern of lands protected from development (Bierwagen et al. 2010).

High Intensity Land-use Overlap Colorado Plateau

This dataset represents the spatial overlap in areas with present (cropland, grazing, and recreation), potential (petroleum resources), or projected future (population) high-intensity land-use. The final areas designated as high-intensity land-use represent high intensity relative to the range of values for that variable in this region, either present or future, and do not represent the rate of change, recent or future, for that particular variable. We defined high-intensity areas as ≥75% quantile for that variable over the entire Colorado Plateau. We combined grazing and cropland high-intensity area into one “high agriculture” variable. Each band represents a unique overlap between the land-use types.

Scenario for Impacts to Ecosystem Attributes Colorado Plateau

We assessed the spatial pattern and extent of potential impacts of spatially overlapping high intensity
land-use and aridification trends on landscape attributes: crop productivity, soil productivity, vegetation and wildlife habitat, and recreation tourism economy, as well as two ecosystem services: water availability (provisioning service) and spiritual and cultural values (cultural service).
The intensity indices (0–1) for the land-use and climate change variables were combined using different weights for four scenarios (see publication) to estimate the magnitude of potential impact of spatial overlap, with higher values indicating
greater impact. For each scenario, we defined areas as high- or low-intensity impact according to quantiles (high: ≥75% quantile; low: ≤25% quantile).
This dataset represents the area of consensus for high and low impacts for each ecosystem attribute. Since some parts of the Colorado Plateau have a very low proportion of cropland, we only analyzed impacts on cropland productivity in areas with higher cropland intensity (&gt;25% quantile). Similarly, only areas with substantial recreation intensity (&gt;25% quantile) were evaluated for impacts on the recreation tourism economy.

Undiscovered Continuous Gas Colorado Plateau

This dataset is based on U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) resource assessments for “undiscovered” gas resources, which are resources that have not yet been extensively proven by drilling (USGS 2014). Individual resource assessments describe the amount of petroleum resources in units with similar geologic features. We focused on the amount of undiscovered continuous gas because technological advances have made exploitation of continuous resources increasingly profitable and large amounts remain undeveloped in comparison with conventional resources. We quantified the density of continuous gas resources by adding together the amounts in spatially overlapping assessment units and dividing these totals by polygon areas. Since assessments for geologic areas used in this analysis were completed at various times, the certainty related to these values is likely to vary according to geologic unit.

Buzzards Bay: continuous bathymetry and topography terrain model of the Massachusetts coastal zone and continental shelf, (32-bit GeoTIFF, UTM 19 NAD 83, NAVD 88 vertical datum).

Integrated terrain models covering 16,357 square kilometers of the Massachusetts coastal zone and offshore waters were built to provide a continuous elevation and bathymetry terrain model for ocean planning purposes. The area is divided into the following four geographical areas to reduce file size and facilitate publishing: Massachusetts Bay from the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border south to Provincetown and Scituate and east to Stellwagen Bank; Cape Cod Bay from Provincetown to Scituate and south to Hyannis; Buzzards Bay from the Cape Cod Canal southwest to the State border including the Elizabeth Islands and extending north to Fall River and Mount Hope Bay; and Nantucket and Vineyard Sounds, from Hyannis south to the border of the Massachusetts Coastal zone approximately 8 kilometers south of Nantucket. A Triangulated Irregular Network was created from public-domain bathymetric and LiDAR data using the ArcGIS terrain-model framework and then interpolated into a 32-bit GeoTiff of 10 meter resolution.  The grids for each of the four geographical areas are referenced to the Universal Transverse Mercator, Zone 19, North American Datum of 1983 coordinate system, and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. A polygon shapefile recording the source datasets accompanies each of the four grids.
