Stable isotopes of carbon dioxide (CO2), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), water and concentrations of greenhouse gases in a mountainous watershed (Crested Butte, Colorado).
Temperature and precipitation variability in response to climate change affects water cycling of watersheds and can potentially impact water quality, water availability, elemental and molecular fluxes, and biogeochemical processes. Here we report the measurements of light stable isotopes and greenho

Aspen ploidy level and cover maps from NEON Airborne Observation Platform, 2018, Crested Butte, Colorado
Maps of aspen ploidy (diploid or triploid) developed using National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Airborne Observation Platform visible to shortwave infrared imaging spectroscopy data that were acquired over the Upper East River, Colorado in 2018. Maps of aspen distribution, as well as other
QA/QC-ed Groundwater Level Time Series in PLM-1 and PLM-6 Monitoring Wells, East River, Colorado
Performed Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) analysis of measured groundwater levels in monitoring wells PLM-1 and PLM-6, including identification and flagging of duplicated values of timestamps, gap filling of missing timestamps and water levels, removal of abnormal/bad and outliers of m
Machine Learning Assisted Gap-Filled Discharge Data for the East River Community Watershed, Colorado, for Water Years 2014-2021
This dataset contains a collection of machine learning assisted gap-filled discharge data created for all discharge stations across the East River Watershed, Colorado. This data was generated by using raw discharge data collected by Rosemary Carroll, and conducting a random forest machine learning a
Rainbow trout diet and invertebrate drift data from 2012-2015 for the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, Arizona
These data were compiled to explore the foraging ecology of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, Arizona. These data represent samples characterizing the availability of drifting invertebrate prey (hereafter, drift) and use of these invertebrate prey by rainbow tr
Data release for Surficial Geology of the Northern San Luis Valley, Saguache, Fremont, Custer, Alamosa, Rio Grande, Conejos, and Costilla Counties, Colorado
The San Luis Valley and associated underlying basin of south-central Colorado and north-central New Mexico is the largest structural and hydrologic basin of the Rio Grande Rift and fluvial system. The surrounding San Juan and Sangre de Cristo Mountains reveal evidence of widespread volcanism and tra
Talus Surface & Subsurface Temperature Data from Oregon & Colorado, USA, 2011-2019
Between 2011 and 2019, temperature data loggers were buried in rocky talus patches (hereafter “sites”) potentially occupied by American pikas (Ochotona princeps). Data collection spanned three ecoregions: Grand Mesa, Colorado (GRME), Mt. Hood, Oregon (MTHO), and the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon (CRG

The opposite of 'whole': groundwater dependence in a rural agricultural community in Colorado
As the American West faces increasing water demands and decreased access and flows due to the effects of climate change, increasing populations, and pollution it is more important than ever to examine governance structures of common pool resources like groundwater. In the San Luis Valley of south-ce

Road impacts on the Baca National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado, with emphasis on effects to surface- and shallow ground-water hydrology - A literature review
A review of published research on unpaved road effects on surface-water and shallow ground-water hydrology was undertaken to assist the Baca National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado, in understanding factors potentially influencing refuge ecology. Few studies were found that addressed hydrological effects
Depositional setting and reservoir-scale architecture of sandstone bodies of the Green River Formation in Evacuation Creek, Dragon Quadrangle, eastern Uinta basin, Utah
The Green River Formation is an Eocene lacustrine deposit that is present in several Rocky Mountain basins.In the Uinta basin, the Green River Formation has produced large amounts of oil and gas from many fields, the largest being the Greater Altamont-Bluebell field in the northern margin of the bas
Source rock characterization of the Green River oil shale, Piceance Creek Basin, Colorado
The Green River Formation in Piceance Creek basin is estimated to have the largest oil shale deposits in the world today, and it also provides a classic model for lacustrine source rock deposition.Based on study of facies associations, depositional trends, and basin-scale correlations, a sequence st
Impacts of climate change on the hydrologic response of headwater basins in Colorado
The headwater basins of Colorado are heavily relied upon for freshwater resources on an annual basis. However, knowledge concerning generation of such resources, and implications of climate change on their availability in the future, is not well understood. Thus, this research has been undertaken to
Effects of the nuisance diatom <i>Didymosphenia geminata</i> on invertebrates in a Rocky Mountain stream
Nuisance blooms of the stalked diatom Didymosphenia geminata have become an increasing concern worldwide, yet little is known about their effect on stream food webs. We investigated the effects of D. geminata blooms on stream invertebrates of the East River in the western Rocky Mountains. Areas with
