Summary

These data are annual aeolian dust deposition calculations from vertical deposition at seven locations near the vicinity of Moab, Utah covering the period from 1999 to 2020. Data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center (Denver, Colorado) and Southwest Biological Science Center (Moab, Utah) to "monitor sediment characteristics at sites selected to illuminate the relations between dust sources, present climate, and land use patterns" (Reheis 2003). The sites selected represent various land uses and land ownership including private land, multiple-use public lands, and restricted use National Parks. From 1999-2013 samples were sent to the Geosciences and Environmental Change Science [...]

Purpose

These data are dust flux calculations from vertical deposition at seven locations near the vicinity of Moab, Utah covering the period from 1999 to 2020. Data were collected to "monitor sediment characteristics at sites selected to illuminate the relations between dust sources, present climate, and land use patterns" (Reheis 2003). The sites selected represent various land uses and land ownership including private land, mutiple-use public lands, and restricted use National Parks. From 1999-2013 samples were sent to the Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center in Denver to be processed. From 2014-2020 samples were processed at the Southwest Biological Science Center Canyonlands Research Station in Moab, Utah. The purpose of this data release is to make available annual flux data collected 2009-2020 that have not been published.
