Median Estimates of Impact Potential from Geothermal Energy Production Activities on Greater Sage-Grouse Populations in Nevada and California (2022)

These data are the result of an intersection between a surface representing the delta-finite rate of population change and another surface representing Greater Sage-grouse abundance and space-use. It was used to rank candidate sites according to greatest potential impact to Greater Sage-grouse populations resulting from the presence of geothermal energy activity. In 2022, candidate geothermal sites were identified in Nevada and eastern California, then buffered by 10 kilometers. While the extent of the overall raster layer encompasses a very large swath of the western US, data values are limited to fall within these 10 kilometer buffers. These data support the following publications: Coates, P.S., Prochazka, B.G.,...

Mark-recapture and environmental data used to predict flannelmouth sucker (Catostomous latippinis) growth rates within the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon from April 2012 to October 2018

These data were compiled to fit Bayesian state-space growth in length models to estimate the environmental variables that influence flannelmouth sucker growth rates in the Grand Canyon. Objective(s) of our study were to quantify monthly intervals of growth of flannelmouth suckers in four river reaches, and test if novel high frequency gross primary productivity data would be a significant predictor of fish growth. These data represent capture histories for flannelmouth sucker (Catostomus latippinis) in the mainstem of the Colorado River within the Grand Canyon (river mile 0 to 226) from 2012-2018 and environmental variable data including water temperature, turbidity, and gross primary productivity. Fish data refer...
