Cold-Air Pooling Maps for Colorado (100 m) and the East River Watershed Region (30 m)
Cold-air pooling (CAP) mapped across Colorado at 100m resolution and the region surrounding the East River watershed, CO at 30m resolution. Classifications were determined using a Python implementation of the algorithm originally developed in Lundquist et al., 2008, applied to digital elevation mode

Geochemistry and Strontium Isotopes for Coal Creek Watershed, Colorado, 2021-2022
The geochemistry and strontium isotope data for Coal Creek Watershed, Colorado, consists of cation, anion, and 87Sr/87Sr isotope values from samples collected at 8 stream location along Coal Creek, samples from two groundwater springs within the watershed, and a shallow subsurface piezometer. All st

Contains the code for the figure generation and analysis of the manuscript "Measurement Report: An investigation of the spatiotemporal variability of aerosol in the mountainous terrain of the Upper Colorado River Basin from SAIL-Net" (Gibson et al., 2025) accepted to EGU's Journal of Atmospheric Che
Geochemistry and Environmental Tracer Data for Groundwater, Stream Water, and Sediment from the East Mancos River, Colorado, 2023
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains data from stream water, groundwater, and stream sediment samples collected in August 2023 in the East Mancos River watershed in southwestern Colorado. Data were collected as part of a study aimed at identifying sources of elevated metal concen
SPLASH Field Study; NOAA and CIRES Ceilometer Cloud Data Products at Brush Creek, Colorado, 2021-10-19 to 2023-08-14 (NCEI Accession 0301003)
From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners conducted a field study (SPLASH - the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology). This field study established a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains
SPLASH Field Study; HELiX UAS Solar Irradiance data from 2022-03-12 to 2022-06-04 (NCEI Accession 0303584)

SPLASH Field Study; NOAA PSL thermodynamic profiles retrieved from ASSIST infrared radiances with the optimal estimation physical retrieval TROPoe (NCEI Accession 0303808)
This dataset contains daily files with thermodynamic profiles retrieved with the optimal estimation physical retrieval TROPoe (TROPoe, Turner and Löhnert 2014; Turner and Blumberg 2019; Turner and Löhnert 2021). The profiles are retrieved every 10 min from instantaneous radiances observed with an At
Latest Pleistocene glacial chronology and paleoclimate reconstruction for the East River watershed, Colorado, USA
Reconstructing Pleistocene glaciation timing and extent is vital for understanding paleoclimate. Whereas late Pleistocene glaciation has been studied extensively in western North American mountain ranges, the glacial history of the western Elk Range in Colorado remains understudied, particularly in
Ecosystem-size relationships of river populations and communities
Knowledge of ecosystem-size influences on river populations and communities is integral to the balancing of human and environmental needs for water. The multiple dimensions of dendritic river networks complicate understanding of ecosystem-size influences, but could be resolved by the development of
Recent Upper Colorado River Streamflow Declines Driven by Loss of Spring Precipitation
Abstract Colorado River streamflow has decreased 19% since 2000. Spring (March‐April‐May) weather strongly influences Upper Colorado River streamflow because it controls not only water input but also when snow melts and how much energy is available for evaporation when soils are wettest. Since 2000,
Hydrology outweighs temperature in driving production and export of dissolved carbon in a snowy mountain catchment
Abstract Terrestrial production and export of dissolved organic and inorganic carbon (DOC and DIC) to streams depends on water flow and biogeochemical processes in and beneath soils. Yet, understanding of these processes in a rapidly changing climate is limited. Using the watershed‐scale reactive‐tr
Declining groundwater storage expected to amplify mountain streamflow reductions in a warmer world
Abstract Groundwater interactions with mountain streams are often simplified in model projections, potentially leading to inaccurate estimates of streamflow response to climate change. Here, using a high-resolution, integrated hydrological model extending 400 m into the subsurface, we find groundwat
A tale of two catchments: causality analysis and isotope systematics reveal mountainous watershed traits that regulate the retention and release of nitrogen
Abstract Mountainous watersheds are characterized by variability in functional traits, including vegetation, topography, geology, and geomorphology, which determine nitrogen (N) retention, and release. Coal Creek and East River are two contrasting catchments within the Upper Colorado River Basin tha
Mountainous floodplain connectivity in response to hydrological transitions
Abstract In mountainous watersheds, floodplain sediments are typically characterized by gravel bed layers capped by an overlying soil unit that serves as a hotspot for biogeochemical reactivity. However, the influence of soil biogeochemistry on gravel bed underflow composition remains unclear, espec
