The Okinawa cluster is named for the island of Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands. Although there are deeper events in the area, only events with depths less than about 35 km were retained in the cluster. The cluster contains one large event, an Ms 6.5 event on March 2, 1980 to the west of the island that is likely associated with back-arc spreading. All events have depth constraint from arrivals at near- or local-distances, or from teleseismic depth phases in a few cases. Although the setting is broadly oceanic, the Ryukyu Islands are thought to be part of a remannt continental sliver, so it is not so surprising that a crustal model very close to ak135 fits the observed arrival time data well. ...

These data were collected as part of a field trial to test the effectiveness of a sylvatic plague vaccine (see Rocke et al., 2017 for details). Vaccine and control plots were selected randomly from the available pairs at each location. Baits containing Rhodamine B, a biomarker, were distributed at each plot. At least 1 week and no more than 2 months post-baiting each year, local collaborators captured, marked, and sampled prairie dogs. Hair and whisker samples were collected from up to 50 unique prairie dogs from each plot each year. Sex, age, weight, and the identity of all current-year and prior-year recaptures were recorded for each captured animal. In the laboratory, hair/whiskers were assessed for the presence...

The Siah Kuh cluster is named after the village of Siah Kuh (Black Mountain) in Gilan Province, Iran. It consists of only 16 events, the largest being the M4.3 event on September 5, 2005. There's a fairly large azimuthal gap to the east, but the cluster is well calibrated at a level of 1.4 km by using data up to 1.6 degrees. Focal depths of almost all events are constrained with local-distance readings, except for the oldest event in the cluster (January 6, 2005) which is set to a default of 11 km. Number of events: 16 Calibration type: direct calibration using data to 1.6 degrees; hypocentroid...

The Hakodate cluster is named for the city of Hakodate at the south end the island of Hokkaido, Japan. The cluster extends southward to the northern tip of Honshu. Over half the events in the cluster are associated with an earthquake swarm in late March 2000 on the southern flank of Mt. Usu, an active volcano in southern Hokkaido. The distribution of stations is quite good and location calibration is straight-forward. Number of events: 39 Calibration type: direct calibration using data to 1.0 degrees; hypocentroid calibration level = 1.1 km Epicentral calibration range: 1 - 2 km Date range:...

The “Biophysical assessment for indemnity selection of federal lands in Colorado: Indemnity Unit locations” dataset delineates the spatial locations of 89 Indemnity Units, comprising 339 parcels of federal lands. These lands, currently managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), are under consideration for transfer of ownership to the State of Colorado in compensation for federal lands not available for transfer at the time of statehood. The Indemnity Units total 23,130 acres of surface and mineral estate and 6,150 acres of mineral estate only. The specific land parcels to be transferred to the State will be finalized after an environmental analysis is completed, as required by the National Environmental Policy...

The Ahel cluster is named for the village of Ahel in Fars Province, Iran. This cluster consists of 184 events including the October 31, 1956 Gowdeh earthquake (Magnitude 6.6) and fourteen more older events prior to 1980. Calibration is greatly aided by data from a temporary network deployed by Farzam Yamini-Fard (IIEES). A.R. Ghods (IASBS) repicked many of the arrival times from Iranian networks, including S-P data from the INSM network of accelerometers (BHRC). Focal depths of 23 events are constrained with near-source data, 15 are set by local-distance data, and reminder are fixed to a cluster default of 12 km. Further information about this cluster is contained in: Karasözen et al. (in preparation), Seismotectonics...

Hormone and pharmaceutical results are provided for environmental samples collected at 1,120 wells or springs; selected ancillary data, such as principal aquifer, well depth, and land-use information also are provided for the sampled sites. The types of quality-control samples included in this data set are blanks, matrix spikes, and replicates collected at field sites or field offices. Included in this data...
The Turt cluster is named for a small settlement on the northeastern shore of Lake Khovsgol in northern Mongolia. The cluster crosses the border with Russia, into Buryatia. The cluster was formed around a 6.7 Mw earthquake on January 11, 2021. This event was followed by a large number of aftershocks which could have been included in the cluster but the coverage from local stations for these events was unbalanced and the location calibration tended to become unstable when a large number of them were included. Most of them were only recorded at regional distances. Several of the largest aftershocks are included. It was difficult to obtain adequate azimuthal coverage for this cluster but the final selection of events...

The Potenza cluster is named for the city of Potenza in the region of Basilicata in southern Italy. It includes the Irpinia earthquake (Ms 6.8) on November 23, 1980, and includes a number of moderate-sized events in recent years. The number of seismic stations in the source region increased markedly in 1999 and again in 2010, making direct calibration very easy. The velocity structure was refined with a subset of recent events for which free-depth relocations could be done. All events have depth constraint from near-source or local distance readings, or for a couple events, teleseismic depth phases. ...

Landscape conservation cooperatives (LCCs) are conservation-science partnerships between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and other federal agencies, states, tribes, NGOs, universities and stakeholders within a geographically defined area. They inform resource management decisions to address national-scale stressors-including habitat fragmentation, genetic isolation, spread of invasive species, and water scarcity-all of which are accelerated by climate change.

This map shows the channel boundary (2011) of the Colorado River mainstem between the Utah Colorado border and the upper pool of Lake Powell, Utah (146 miles). The channel boundary was mapped from public available NAIP imagery flown on June 28, 2011, when the river flow was 886 m3/s at the Cisco gage. The channel is subdivided into channel types: fast water (main channel, secondary channel), and still water types (backwater, isolated pool and tributary channel).

The Kaki cluster is based on the Mw 6.2 mainshock on April 9, 2013, a few tens of km southeast of Bushehr in southern Iran. It's named after a village near the epicenter. The 2013 sequence, including one foreshock and aftershocks through the end of the year, comprises over half of the cluster. Arrival time readings from a temporary seismic network deployed by F. Yamini-Fard (IIEES) to monitor aftershocks are of critical importance to calibrating this cluster. The calibration of this cluster is done by both with direct and indirect technique; near-distance readings up to 0.4 degrees are used for the direct calibration and 18 well calibrated events located by the temporary seismic networks are used for indirect calibration....

The Kobe cluster is named for the city of Kobe, Japan. The cluster is based on the Ms 6.9 earthquake on January 16, 1995 and its aftershocks but it includes more recent events as well. Fitting the pattern of arrivals at local distances required an unusually low crustal P velocity. Number of events: 60 Calibration type: direct calibration using data to 1.0 degrees; hypocentroid calibration level = 0.6 km Epicentral calibration range: 1 - 1 km Date range: 19950116 - 20140805 Latitude range: 34.107 - 35.158 Longitude range: 134.672 - 135.802 Depth range: 14.0 - 22.0 Magnitude range: 3.5...

The Samaria cluster is named for the old community of Samaria, Idaho and the Samaria Mountains in southeastern Idaho. The cluster straddles the border with Utah. It contains one large earthquake, an M6.1 event on March 28, 1975, but none of the other events exceeds 4.6 in magnitude. The M6.1 (USGS) earthquake is often referred to as the Pocatello Valley earthquake. About half of the events are from the 1970s and the quality and quantity of arrival time data are poorer than for modern events; in particular they have few S readings. Focal depths are established by free depth relocation but they are rather unstable and the uncertainties are larger than usual. Depths span a large range, roughly from zero to 20 km,...
