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
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

Global Bee Interaction Data
Last modified: January 09, 2025 IntroductionThis dataset comprises all bee interactions indexed by Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI; Poelen et al. 2014). It is published quarterly by the Big Bee Project (Seltmann et al. 2021) to summarize all available knowledge about bee interactions from natural
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
Data associated with Quaternary Research manuscript Latest Pleistocene glacial chronology and paleoclimate reconstruction for the East River watershed, Colorado, USA
The data here are associated with Quaternary Research manuscript Latest Pleistocene glacial chronology and paleoclimate reconstruction for the East River watershed, Colorado, USA and include data associated with cosmogenic exposure and depth profile dating as well as glacier-climate numerical modeli
Late Pleistocene Herpetofauna from Two High-Elevation Caves in the Upper Gunnison Basin, Colorado
Las cuevas Cement Creek y Haystack en Colorado han producido un diverso registro de mamíferos de gran altitud del Cuaternario tardío. Entre los abundantes restos de mamíferos, se registraron raros casos de anfibios y reptiles, los cuales reportamos a continuación. En la cueva Cement Creek (2860 m de

NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Simic fire data from Yellow Pine Ridge South, Western Slope - IMPD USYPS001
The historical role of fire in sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) landscapes remains poorly understood, yet is important to inform management and conservation of obligate species such as the threatened Gunnison Sage-grouse (GUSG; Centrocercus minimus). We reconstructed fire histories from tree-ring fi
NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Simic fire data from Timber Sale, Western Slope - IMPD USTRS002
The historical role of fire in sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) landscapes remains poorly understood, yet is important to inform management and conservation of obligate species such as the threatened Gunnison Sage-grouse (GUSG; Centrocercus minimus).

Late Quaternary vertebrates from the Upper Gunnison Basin, Colorado, and small-mammal community resilience to climate change since the last glacial maximum
AbstractThe Upper Gunnison Basin (UGB), Colorado, is a montane region characterized by unusual physiography and topographic isolation. Excavations of three caves in the UGB provide one of the most diverse records of high-elevation late Quaternary vertebrates in North America. The localities, Haystac
Impacts of climate change on the formation and stability of late Quaternary sand sheets and falling dunes, Black Mesa region, southern Colorado Plateau, USA
FOSSIL PLANTS AND PALYNOMORPHS FROM THE LATE PALEOZOIC CUTLER FORMATION, EASTERN PARADOX BASIN
The late Paleozoic Cutler Formation, where exposed near the modern-day town of Gateway, Colorado, has traditionally been interpreted as the product of alluvial fan deposition within the easternmost portion of the Paradox Basin. The Paradox Basin formed between the western margin of the Uncompahgre U

Harnessing the power of algae: new, greener fuel cells move step closer to reality
Harnessing the power of algae: new, greener fuel cells move step closer to reality A new design of algae-powered fuel cells that is five times more efficient than existing plant and algal models, as well as being potentially more cost-effective to produce and practical to use, has been developed by
Gunnison Basin Wetlands Focus Group Strategic Plan
The Gunnsion Basin Focus area encompasses the upper Gunnsion watershed. The Basin lies entirely on the west side of the Continental Divide. Geographically the area includes most of Gunnsion County, the northern third of Hinsdale County, and the north western third of Saguache County. The total land
