Southwest Wyoming contains abundant energy resources, wildlife, habitat, open spaces, and outdoor recreational opportunities. Although exploration development have been taking place in the region since late 1800s, pace of for fossil fuels renewable increased significantly early 2000s. This associated urban exurban are leading to landscape-level environmental socioeconomic changes that potential diminish wildlife habitat other natural quality human lives, Wyoming. The negative effects these...
Six external quality-assurance programs were operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) External Quality-Assurance (QA) Project for National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) from 2002 through 2003. Each program measured specific components of overall error inherent in NADP/NTN wet-deposition measurements. The intersite-comparison assessed variability and bias pH conductance determinations made site operators twice per year with respect to accuracy goals....

The Principles are increasingly used as guide producing digital products that findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR),...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) used five programs to provide external quality-assurance monitoring for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) and two NADP/Mercury (NADP/MDN) during 2004. An intersite-comparison program was estimate accuracy precision of field-measured pH specific-conductance. variability bias NADP/NTN data attributed field exposure, sample handling shipping, laboratory chemical analysis were estimated using sample-handling...
Five external quality-assurance programs were operated by the U.S. Geological Survey for National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) from 2000 through 2001 (study period): intersite-comparison program, blind-audit field-audit interlaboratory-comparison and collocated-sampler program. Each program is designed to measure specific components of total error inherent in NADP/NTN wet-deposition measurements. The assesses variability bias pH specific-conductance...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Branch of Quality Systems operates external quality assurance programs for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/Mercury Network (NADP/MDN). Beginning in 2004, three have been implemented: system blank program, interlaboratory comparison and blind audit program. Each program was designed to measure error contributed by specific components data-collection process. assesses contamination that may result from sampling equipment, field exposure, routine...
The U.S. Geological Survey project—Energy and Environment in the Rocky Mountain Area (EERMA)—has developed a set of virtual tools form an online interactive energy atlas for Colorado New Mexico to facilitate access geospatial data related resources, infrastructure, natural resources that may be affected by development. currently (2014) consists three components: (1) series maps; (2) downloadable datasets; (3) decison-support tools, including two maps hydrologic discussed this report....
This is the seventh report produced by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) to detail annual activities conducted USGS addressing specific management needs identified WLCI partners. In FY2014, there were 26 projects, including a new one that was completed, two others also and several entered phases or directions. The projects fall into categories: (1) synthesizing analyzing existing data identify current conditions on landscape using develop...
This is the sixth report produced by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) to detail annual activities conducted USGS addressing specific management needs identified WLCI partners. In FY2013, there were 25 ongoing and new projects USGS. These fall into 8 major categories: (1) synthesizing analyzing existing data describe (model map) current conditions on landscape; (2) developing models projecting past future landscape conditions; (3) monitoring...
Selected aspects of National Atmospheric Deposition Program / Trends Network (NADP/NTN) protocols are evaluated in four studies. Meteorological conditions have minor impacts on the error NADP/NTN sampling. Efficiency frozen precipitation sample collection is lower than for liquid samples. Variability NTN measurements higher relatively low-intensity deposition higher-intensity precipitation. Urbanization landscape surrounding sites not affecting trends wet-deposition chemistry data to a...
The Colorado wind-turbine data series provides geospatial for all wind turbines established within the State as of August 2009. Attributes specific to each turbine include: location, manufacturer and model, rotor diameter, hub height, potential megawatt output, land ownership, county. Wind energy facility name, power capacity, number associated with date, developer, year went online, development status facility. Turbine locations were derived from 2009 1-meter true-color aerial photographs...
This dataset represents an update to U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 596. Locations and attributes of wind turbines in New Mexico, 2009 (available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/596/).This updated Mexico turbine provides geospatial data for all 562 established within the State as June 2011, increase 155 from 2009. Attributes specific each include: location, manufacturer model, rotor diameter, hub height, potential megawatt output, land ownership, county, development status turbine. Wind...
This is the fourth report produced by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) to detail annual work activities. In FY2011, there were 37 ongoing, completed, or new projects conducted under five major multi-disciplinary science and technical-assistance activities: (1) Baseline Synthesis, (2) Targeted Monitoring Research, (3) Data Information Management, (4) Integration Coordination, (5) Decisionmaking Evaluation. The four activities development of...
