Abstract

Raw plastic counts and calculated plastic deposition rates for 11 National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) sites in the western USA recorded from 2017-2019. Samples were collected to determine plastic deposition rates in remote locations and identify the potential sources of plastic to the atmosphere. Samples were collected using an Aerochem Metrics Wet and Dry sampler. Wet deposition refers to the material retained on a 0.45-micron filter. Dry deposition refers to the dry only deposition collected using a Dry Side Insert (DSI) (Brahney et al. 2020). Plastics are identified as either fibers or particles (includes small colored films). Wet deposition rates are recorded weekly and dry plastic deposition rates are based on monthly sampling intervals. Sites included are Grand Canyon National Park (AZ03), Joshua Tree National Park (CA67), Rocky Mountain National Park (CO98), Niwot Ridge (CO02), Ashley National Forest (UT95), East River SFA (CO10)), Craters of the Moon National Park (ID03), Great Basin National Park (NV05), Canyonlands National Park (UT09), Bryce Canyon Nationa Park (UT99), and Wind River Range (WY06). Data collection is being published in collaboration with the Department of Energy's research project, "Constraining physical understanding of aerosol loading, biogeochemistry, and snowmelt hydrology from hillslope to watershed scale in themore » East River Scientific Focus Areas.« less

DGPS measurements of solifluction and hillslopes creep at the Teller 47 field site from 2017-2019, Seward Peninsula, AK

Dataset Lathrop, Emma ; Rowland, Joel ; DelVecchio, Joanmarie ; ...

DGPS measurements of benchmarks locations were collectedduring the 2017, 2018 and 2019 summers at the NGEE Arctic Teller-47 solifluction site on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Benchmarks were installed in 2017 on several solifluction lobes and hillslope locations and re surveyed in 2018 and 2019 with a Trimble R10 DGPS instrument. In 2018, coincident with a UAS-based laser altimetry collection campaign, more ground control targets were installed and subsequently remeasured in 2019. Points were corrected using NOAA’s OnlinePositioning User Software (OPUS) and Trimble Business Center (TBC) software. There are five total *.csv files: two are data files plus one file-level metadata and two data dictionaries, two *.jpg, four shape file folders, one archive folder of raw data, and one *.pdf.

Soil moisture, physical and chemical properties coincident with airborne SAR data collections for 2017 and 2019, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Dataset Lathrop, Emma ; Nutt, Mara ; Wilson, Cathy ; ...

Soil samples were collected coincident with in-situ soil moisture and thaw depth measurements at NGEE Arctic study sites on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska in August 2017 and 2019. Field measurements and flights were conducted during both summers as a collaboration between the NASA ABoVE Project?s Airborne SAR Campaign and the NGEE Arctic Project. Airborne overflights of L-band SAR instruments occurred during the soil sampling periods. Laboratory measurements of soil properties include bulk density, volumetric and gravimetric water content, carbon and nitrogen content, and particle size of mineral components. Soil samples processed and reported in this dataset were collected coincident with in situ measurementsmore »« less
Geophysical and Environmental Monitoring Data, Lower Watershed, Teller Road Mile Marker 27, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2017-2019

Dataset Uhlemann, Sebastian ; Dafflon, Baptiste ; Ulrich, Craig ; ...

This data set contains geophysical and environmental monitoring data acquired between September 2017 and 2019 at the lower Teller watershed, Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Geophysical data comprises processed resistivity data, acquired daily between Spring and Fall of 2018 and 2019, and a baseline measurement of Fall 2017. The environmental monitoring data comprises depth resolved, distributed soil moisture and soil temperature data. These measurements were obtained used Decagon 5TE sensors placed at 0.1 m, 0.2 m , 0.3 m, and 0.4 m depth. In addition, temperature data at 0.5 m, 1.0 m, and 1.5 m were acquired using Hobo temperature sensors. This datasetmore »« less
Raw Data published in PeerJ, 2021 for Crested Butte decomposition field study 2017-2019.

Dataset Leonard, Laura ; Brodie, Eoin ; Williams, Kenneth ; ...

This data package contains text files that describe geochemical measurements collected from 2017-2019 during isolated conifer needle decomposition field studies in Crested Butte, Colorado. The geochemical measurements were collected across three elevations (2,800–3,500 m) ranging from montane to subalpine ecoregions. The data sets within include total carbon and nitrogen content and fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results for the initial needles collected in 2016 and after decomposition in 2019. Data collection results from August 2020 are also included from when the experimental plots were removed to understand final concentrations of soil extractable carbon and nitrogen content as well as mass balancesmore »« less
Annual floodplain sediment deposition recorded using feldspar clay marker horizons along the East River, Colorado, 2015-2017

Dataset Sutfin, Nicholas ; Rowland, Joel

White feldspar clay was placed along 24 transects defining a ~9-km long study reach along the meandering snowmelt-dominated East River in Colorado, USA. Feldspar markers horizons were placed in the fall of 2015 and 2016 along transects with the space between them increasing with distance from the channel. Depths of floodplain deposition were measured the following summers of 2016 and 2017 following annual peak flow after peak snowmelt. This dataset includes individual and average measurements made in the field along with coordinates in NAD 83 UTM Zone 13.
