Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Survey, Colorado Mineral Belt, Mid Block, 2023
This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the central portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt, central Colorado. The Colorado Mineral Belt is a broad, northeast-southwest trending alignment of historic mining dist
Range size and local abundance data for angiosperm communities across an elevation gradient, Rocky Mountain Biological Lab, 2021-2022
This dataset contains abundance and range size data for angiosperm communities at three sites in Washington Gulch near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL, Gothic, Colorado, USA) for 2021 and 2022. RMBL is located in the East River valley of the West Elk mountains, approximately 10 kilome
Solute chemistry for streams draining geomorphic features and varying land cover gradients in the East River watershed, Colorado
This dataset contains solute chemistry data and GPS coordinates for surface water samples collected in the East River watershed in the Elk and West Elk Ranges of Colorado from August 3rd through August 11th, 2022. Samples were collected from streams and groundwater seeps as part of a comprehensive a
iRON_Soil Moisture_Calibrated
** Error has been found in Glenwood Springs station data. The 8in depth soil moisture sensor was mislabeled as the 40in depth sensor and vice versa for data sets uploaded prior to February 2024. Datasets uploaded after Feb 22, 2024 have the sensor labels corrected for all dates going back to install
Unoccupied Aerial System-mounted image velocimetry and Doppler velocity radar data for computation of river velocity and discharge collected at seven locations in Colorado in 2023: Cross-Section Geometry
This child item contains bathymetric measurements of the channel geometry suitable for use in computing cross-sectional area for each field site. Each field site is abbreviated in various files in this data release. File and folder names quickly identify which site a particular file or dataset repre
Unoccupied Aerial System-mounted image velocimetry and Doppler velocity radar data for computation of river velocity and discharge collected at seven locations in Colorado in 2023: Videos
This child item contains the raw videos captured by small Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (sUAS) at each field site. It also includes a summary file with metadata for each video. Each field site is abbreviated in various files in this data release. File and folder names quickly identify which site a par
Unoccupied Aerial System-mounted image velocimetry and Doppler velocity radar data for computation of river velocity and discharge collected at seven locations in Colorado in 2023: Ground Control
This child item contains information about associating the calibration images and video to real-world distances using ground control points for each field site. The data included here can be used to provide a pixel ground scale distance for each video. Each field site is abbreviated in various files
Unoccupied Aerial System-mounted image velocimetry and Doppler velocity radar data for computation of river velocity and discharge collected at seven locations in Colorado in 2023: Radar Spectra
This child item contains Doppler radar velocimetry spectra measurements for each field site where the radars were deployed. Each field site is abbreviated in various files in this data release. File and folder names quickly identify which site a particular file or dataset represents. The following a
Dust mass and horizontal aeolian sediment flux data from a sampler network on the Colorado Plateau, USA
These data were compiled to assess time series data of aeolian sediment collections across varying climates, vegetation cover, and land uses on the Colorado Plateau. The objectives of our study were to interpret aeolian erosion and deposition processes and measure horizontal sediment flux over the s

Application of pressure balancing techniques at the West Elk coal mine
Spontaneous combustion is a serious safety hazard in underground coal mines, particularly in mined-out areas (e.g., gob). It is estimated to be the cause of more than 20% of coal mine fires. Pressure balancing is a ventilation technique that can be used to reduce or eliminate the ingress of oxygen t
Effects of Altitude on the Growth, Mortality, and Recruitment of Subalpine Tree Species in the West Elk Mountains of Colorado.
Subalpine ecosystems in Colorado occur between 9,000-11,000ft in elevation and are composed of several species of conifers. The elevation range of each species is slightly different, but they tend to form established communities, such as the Engelmann spruce-subalpine fir community. It has been show
A <scp>community‐supported</scp> weather and soil moisture monitoring database of the Roaring Fork catchment of the Colorado River Headwaters
AbstractLocal community interest in better understanding regional climate change impacts has motivated the establishment of a long‐term soil moisture and weather observation network in the Roaring Fork catchment of the Colorado River Headwaters. This catchment‐wide suite of 10 stations, installed be
Analysis of the Potential for Events Similar to the Deadly West Salt Creek Landslide, Grand Mesa Area, Colorado
Post-Depositional Fluid Flow in Jurassic Sandstones of the Uncompahgre Uplift: Insights From Magnetic Fabrics
The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) in sedimentary rocks results from depositional, diagenetic, syn- and post-sedimentary processes that affect magnetic grains. Some studies have also shown the potential role played by post-depositional fluid flow in detrital and carbonate formations. He
Changes at treeline within the San Juan Mountains of Colorado
Repeat photography is a field method to study landscape change over time, yet most studies use a single pair of photographs spanning upwards of a century or more to ascertain change. In this study, I used repeat photography to study vegetation change across high-elevation environments within the San
Summary of the Gunnison Water Situation
In 1986 the City of Aurora and the Natural Energy Resources Company (NECO) filcd claims for the right to divert massive amounts of water from Gunnison County to the Front Range. The Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District also filed for rights to the same water for in-basin use. The High Cou
