title: Water quality monitoring in La Paz, Mexico. In dataMares: Ecosystem Dynamics

description: It is carried out systematically throughout the year at strategic points in the Bay of La Paz: recreational beaches and other sites of interest. Through a methodological process, the main beaches are sampled, identifying whether or not there is bacteriological contamination, considered a high risk to public health. The objective of this program is to protect the health of the users of the recreational beaches of the Bay of La Paz, identifying sources of contamination and informing the public if the beaches are suitable for swimming, fishing and/or having fun there.
description: Most probable number chromogenic substrate method using Enterolert Idexx commercial reagent. The test method is based on the detection of enterococci, such as E. faecium, E. faecalis in drinking water, drinking fountains, recreational water (fresh and brackish), bottled water and ice. When the reagent is added to the sample and incubated at 41°C ± 0.5°C for 24h ± 2h, fluorescence is produced by enterococci metabolizing the nutrient indicator. This test allows the detection of up to 1 CFU/100mL of enterococci in the sample to be analyzed. The Enterolert test uses a proprietary defined substrate technology (DST) nutrient indicator to detect enterococci. This nutrient indicator fluoresces when metabolized by enterococci.

title: Diving sites with High Conservation Priority in Mexico. In dataMares: Ecosystem Dynamics

description: Software used: Microsoft Excel. Coordinate system: WGS 1984.
description: Diving activities are part of a multimillion industry around the world, however, despite its relevance, this industry's impact on conservation and the economy, particularly of the diving subsector, is largely unknown. Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Centro para la Biodiversidad Marina y la Conservación AC created the first comprehensive database of Mexico's diving economy spanning 860 diving sites and 49 localities across 14 Mexican states. The dataset includes the results of a systematic conservation planning using conservation features on the diving tourism revenues, diving sites popularity, marine species richness and climate change threats. These sites includes the most important diving sites to be considered for conservation in Mexico.

title: Mangrove carbon storage in the Gulf of California. In dataMares: Ecosystem Dynamics

description: Software used: Microsoft Excel. Coordinate system: WGS 1984.
description: Mangrove forests are packed with carbon, typically with more than 100 kilogram of carbon in just one square meter, more than in any other type of tropical forest. Even though the mangrove trees that we see do not compare in height and girth with those in upland tropical rainforests, they manage more than their share of carbon storage underground, in their vast root systems. The organic matter sequestered in the roots of these trees does not decompose quickly, and so thick layers of organic-rich peat are deposited over time, sometimes reaching several meters deep, spanning hundreds of years, and containing tons of carbon. Our goal in this project was to measure how much carbon is stored in the mangrove peat in the forests near the Bay of La Paz. These data depths and carbon and nitrogen contents of sedimentary layers in eight forests near La Paz, BCS, Mexico, sampled in July and August 2014, as well as information on the areal extent and location of each mangrove site. We sampled forests from a range of sizes (0.02 km^2 to 0.96 km^2), and in both the water's edge, or fringe, and the land's edge, or hinterland. The results show the great depth and large carbon stores of mangrove peat deposits in some forests in the southern Gulf of California and the considerable variation in the quantity of peat from one local forest to another.
description: Researchers from the Gulf of California Marine Program and El Centro para la Biodiversidad Marina y Conservacion sampled the sediments of 8 mangrove forests in the Bay of La Paz and the Gulf islands to the north in July and August 2014. We used a Russian peat corer to extract vertical segments of sediment in 50 cm increments, continuing to core with increasing depth until a hard rock or sand basement was reached. Each core segment was photographed, the depths of any change in horizon measured, and the materials in each horizon roughly characterized. In the field, a labelled jar was used to contain each sample, which we later dried, ground, and weighed before precisely measuring the amount of C in each by CN elemental analysis and gas chromatography, ultimately estimating the amount of C stored in the entire forest.

title: Mexico’s mangrove carbon stock and economic damages from deforestation per municipio. In dataMares: Ecosystem Dynamics

description: Software used: Microsoft Excel.
description: Described in full in Kumagai et al. 2020. ArcGIS 10.5 was used to analyze all spatial data R was used to perform the economic calculations. Carbon stock values are synthesized from peer reviewed publications, values for below ground carbon are directly from Jardine and Siikamäki 2014. CONABIO’s data layers on municipios, mangrove area and change between 2005-2015 were used extensively throughout the analysis. Four different prioritization schemes were developed based on different combinations of deforestation rate, local economic impact of conservation, mangrove area, and total carbon.
description: The dataset describes the amount of total ecosystem carbon in mangroves and the damages from continuing current rates of deforestation for the next 25 years throughout Mexico at a municipio level. The file also includes priority rankings to identify areas that conservation will be efficient and effective in preventing carbon dioxide related damages arising from deforestation. The values can be used to inform management of mangroves and carbon budgets at both country and municipio levels in Mexico. The carbon data was synthesized from peer reviewed publications and analyzed, and original economic calculations were performed by Joy Kumagai between 2017-2019 for her master’s thesis.

title: Multichannel minisparker seismic-reflection data collected offshore Glacier Bay National Park during USGS field activity 2015-629-FA

description: Multichannel seismic reflection data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in May of 2015 outside of Palma Bay, Alaska. Seismic data were acquired coincidentally with high resolution bathymetry (Dartnell and others, 2022). Data were acquired to map the offshore extension of the Queen Charlotte-Fairweather Fault. The fault has produced several significant earthquakes during the last 150 years, yet little to no information exists along most of its length due to its location offshore. We aim to image the fault structure, mode of deformation and constrain its late Holocene slip rate for the northernmost segment.

title: Rain measurements in and near the CZU Lightning Complex Fire area, Santa Cruz Mountains, California, 2020 to 2021

description: The CZU Lightning Complex Fire (hereafter, &quot;CZU Fire&quot;) ignited in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California, on August 16, 2020. By the time of full containment on September 22, 2020, the fire had burned 350 km2 (86,510 acres) in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) installed four rain gages in and near the CZU Fire burn area to measure rainfall during the post-fire wet seasons. Direct measurements of rain amount, duration, and intensity can be used to evaluate causes of post-fire landscape change and to refine post-fire debris-flow thresholds. At each of four measurement locations, rainfall was recorded on an Onset HOBO RG3-M standalone tipping-bucket rain gages, affixed to a 1-m-high stake. These rain gages measure rainfall with a resolution of 0.2 millimeter (mm), and were programmed to record only during rain events. Data were recorded on a self-contained pendant logger housed within the unit and downloaded manually at intervals of weeks to months. The four rain-gage locations are: Big Basin (Big_Basin, deployed October 29, 2020, within the CZU Fire perimeter at 37.172640, -122.222251); Berry Creek (Berry_Creek, deployed October 23, 2020, within the CZU Fire perimeter at 37.079284, -122.216055); Brookdale Lodge (Brookdale_Lodge, deployed on October 23, 2020, approximately 200 m east of the fire perimeter at 37.106800, -122.109566); and Green Valley Rd. (Green_Valley, deployed January 25, 2021, approximately 6 km east of the fire perimeter at 37.055999, -122.032146). The gages at Berry Creek, Big Basin, and Brookdale Lodge operated beginning in October 2020. The gage at Green Valley Rd. began operating in January 2021, to provide an additional record during a large storm. All four gages then remained operational through the end of the wet season in May 2021. The USGS gratefully acknowledges the cooperation of Big Basin Redwoods State Park, the Big Creek Lumber Co., the McCrary family, and Brookdale Lodge in the collection of these data.
