The role of bedrock circulation depth and porosity in mountain streamflow response to prolonged drought
Abstract Quantitative understanding is lacking on how the depth of active groundwater circulation in bedrock affects mountain streamflow response to a multi‐year drought. We use an integrated hydrological model to explore the sensitivity of a variety of streamflow metrics to bedrock circulation dept
Compilation of actual evapotranspiration and vegetation indices along critical riparian zones on the Navajo Nation from 2013-2023
These data were compiled for monitoring riparian zone trends and changes in the Navajo Nation as part of a study to document riparian ecosystem health and its water use in support of potential restoration efforts. The objective of our study was to monitor the short and medium-term effects on the rip
Priority Faults for Improving Seismic Hazard Models in the Intermountain West Region
Abstract This data release includes a list of high-priority hazardous faults and associated spatial data (regional polygons and buffered fault traces) for the Intermountain West (IMW) region of the United States. These are the top five faults or regions of concern per IMW state, based on the 2025 (v
Cosmogenic Nuclide Burial Isochron Data for the Central City Gravel, Malta Gravel, and Lava Creek B Ash Locations: Classic Locations of Early to Middle Pleistocene Deposits, South Platte and Arkansas Rivers, Central Colorado, USA
This data release includes Al-26/Be-10 cosmogenic nuclide concentrations and burial isochron ages for three locations in central Colorado, USA, with preferred burial ages ranging from ~2 Ma to 600 ka, that provide constraints on geologic mapping and chronostratigraphic correlations of Pleistocene Co

Life History and Demography of Astragalus microcymbus
Astragalus microcymbus, the skiff milkvetch, is a perennial forb endemic to Gunnison and Saguache counties in Colorado, United States. In 1995 Denver Botanic Gardens scientists began monitoring individual A. microcymbus plants to track longevity and reproductive rates, ultimately recording plant len

60-meter Segment Stream Network of the Upper East River Watershed, Brown County, Wisconsin
The East River is an agricultural tributary to the Lower Fox River and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Green Bay Area of Concern (AOC) in northeast Wisconsin. This tributary has known excessive phosphorus (P) and suspended sediment loads that contribute to habitat related impairments and d
Rapid Geomorphic Assessment Data for the Upper East River Watershed, Brown and Calumet Counties, Wisconsin
The East River is an agricultural tributary to the Lower Fox River and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Green Bay Area of Concern (AOC) in northeast Wisconsin. This tributary has known excessive phosphorus (P) and suspended sediment loads that contribute to habitat related impairments and d

COLORADO RIVER BASIN UPDATE
Forest composition and structural controls on canopy snow interception in a Colorado watershed
Globally and across the Western United States shifting climate regimes have the ability to propagate change throughout ecosystems and affect their associated hydrologic functions. In mountain regions, which serve as “water towers” for much of humanity, the complex interactions between vegetation and
Aquatic invertebrate communities in old, new, and re-formed beaver ponds in the Trail Creek watershed
1. Beavers are ecosystem engineers. They alter the structure of their habitats when they cut woody vegetative material to create dams that result in ponds. Ponding slows water flow, resulting in fine sediment deposition. A wetland is created as the sediment continues to deposit. 2. The formation of

Diverse and unconventional methanogens, methanotrophs, and methylotrophs in metagenome-assembled genomes from subsurface sediments of the Slate River floodplain, Crested Butte, CO, USA
We use metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to understand single-carbon (C1) compound-cycling-particularly methane-cycling-microorganisms in montane riparian floodplain sediments. We generated 1,233 MAGs (>50% completeness and n = 57). Methanogens, found only in deep, anoxic depths at SR, originate f
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

ing ~ater and shipping it north out of this basin. And being a fast-growing, affluent suburb of Denver, it has deep pockets. . So it is tempting for the owners of the remaining 44 percent of .Rocky Ford Ditch water to consider Aurora's recent offer of about $56,000 per share for their rights in the
