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

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

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

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

The recreational trails in Gunnison County, Colorado near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) are a valuable resource for the community. RMBL is a prominent field station surrounded by a largely intact ecosystem whose diverse native plants and animals are key to its scientific research a

High elevation plant ecosystems are heavily dependent on snowmelt for maintaining spring soil moisture levels. As climate change alters traditional weather patterns and reduces snowpack, snow is melting earlier and altering flowering phenology. With this change in flowering time potentially exposing

Climate change is predicted to lead to increased water and temperature stress for plants. Reduced soil moisture and higher temperatures have the potential to impact plant growth, development, and survival. Changes in plant physiology due to climate change may also impact insect herbivores. Herbivore

The recreational trails near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) are an important resource for the community. They generate tourist income for the surrounding area. However, human activity can lead to behavioral and ecological changes in wildlife communities. Utilizing triggered camera t

Golden-mantled ground squirrels (GMGS) at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) spend the majority of the year, from October to May, hibernating in order to save energy during the winter seasons in Gothic, Colorado. Once the winter season is over, the squirrels emerge from their burrows an

In the face of environmental change, including climate change, many organisms’ biological and ecological processes are being altered. Adult sex ratios are directly related to an organisms’ reproductive success and long-term viability. Understanding what influences sex ratios in the face of these cha

Plants are able to change volatile organic compounds in response to herbivory, and these chemicals can communicate with other parts of the same plant and with other plants. Nectar robbers like Bombus mixtus introduce a new microbial community to a flower’s nectar that is different from the one intro

Community interactions are shaped by the species’ traits dependent on an array of biotic and abiotic factors, yet relatively little is understood about the importance of these factors. Plants have been shown to adapt based on in situ herbivore pressure and abiotic conditions. As herbivore density is

Predators impact the ecosystem in a top-down manner; however, we are not sure how non-native predators differ from native ones. In Colorado beaver ponds, non-native trout can change aquatic communities by preying on macroinvertebrates and excluding the native predator, tiger salamanders. Beaver pond

Climate change is causing warmer temperatures and earlier snowmelt throughout the mountains of Western North America. This study was designed to investigate how these two factors of temperature and snowmelt date influence floral traits, using Ipomopsis aggregata as a model species. While phenologica

Nestlings have evolved to communicate their status of need through visual and vocal begging displays. These behaviors allow nestlings to obtain resources, aiding in their chance of reproductive success. I predicted that increased intensity of nestling begging behavior would lead to increased rates o

The above schematic diagram of the Alkali gulch area shows a proposed general plan for the location of AMAX's Mount Emmons mine site and facilities. The ore will travel from the mine to the mill either by rail or conveyor belt. Nearly half of the distance will be through a tunnel under Mount Axtell.

in Denver, Colo., employs approximately 5,000 people in the state, primarily the company's Climax and Henderson Mines. The Mount Emmons Project is located in Gunnison County in southwest Colo- rado. Gunnison County has a population of approximately 10,000 people con- centrated mainly in the towns of
