Map data and Unmanned Aircraft System imagery from the May 25, 2014 West Salt Creek rock avalanche in western Colorado
On May 25, 2014, a rain-on-snow induced rock avalanche occurred in the West Salt Creek Valley on the northern flank of Grand Mesa in western Colorado. The avalanche traveled 4.6 km down the confined valley, killing 3 people. The avalanche was rare for the contiguous U.S. because of its large size (5
Snowmelt dates across the elevation range of Valeriana edulis
Snowmelt data used to test for an effect of elevation on snowmelt date. See README.txt for column descriptions.
Snowmelt dates 1978-2014
Long-term snowmelt data (1978-2014) collected at one mid-elevation location near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory by billy barr. See README.txt for column descriptions.
Experimental frost damage data for eight subalpine plant species
This file contains data on the frost damage of eight subalpine plant species from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado (USA). These frost damage data can be used to calculate frost sensitivity for each species. Frost damage of plant tissue was determined after specimen were exposed to experimental temper
Climate
This file contains data on the timing of snowmelt from 1935-2012, average April-May temperatures from 1973-2011, and minimum April-May temperatures from 1973-2011. The timing of snowmelt was observed from 1975-2012, and estimated from 1935-1974 based on correlations with river runoff. Temperature da
Long-term flowering time at the plot level
These are data on flowering time (first flowering time and peak flowering time) for all plots from 1973-2011. Data were collected by David Inouye and collaborators. Temperature data are from the Crested Butte, CO NOAA station, and snowmelt data were collected by billy barr. The data file was created
Long-term flowering_year
This file contains data on flowering time (first flowering and peak flowering) from 1973-2011 averaged across all plots, as well as snowmelt data and average April-May temperature data for these years. Timing of flowering was collected by David Inouye and collaborators. Snowmelt data was collected b
