Data - Colorado State University
The CSU Data Collection contains the research data produced by scholars at CSU that has been made available in Mountain Scholar. Our current collection has a particular focus on the natural sciences, featuring the Shortgrass Steppe - Long Term Ecological Research (SGS-LTER) collection, the Climate Data Collection, and a number of datasets from the Natural Resource Ecology Lab (NREL) and the Department of Atmospheric Science.

Data associated with "Lingual electrotactile discrimination ability is associated with the presence of specific connective tissue structures (papillae) on the tongue surface"
Electrical stimulation of nerve endings in the tongue can be used to communicate information to users and has been shown to be highly effective in sensory substitution applications. The anterior tip of the tongue has very ... -
Data associated with "The Importance of Extreme Rainfall Events and Their Timing in a Semi-Arid Grassland"
Climate change is intensifying the hydrologic cycle globally, increasing both the size and frequency of extreme precipitation events, or deluges. Arid and semi-arid ecosystems are expected to be particularly responsive to ... -
20-year vegetation change data in three ecological zones in Mongolia
Mongolian rangelands have experienced warming temperatures and increasing livestock densities over the past 20 years. Remote sensing studies report widespread degradation, but there are no long-term field studies of ... -
Dataset associated with “Genome-wide association analysis of canine T zone lymphoma identifies link to hypothyroidism and a shared association with mast-cell tumors”
Background: T zone lymphoma (TZL), a histologic variant of peripheral T cell lymphoma, represents about 12% of all canine lymphomas. Golden Retrievers appear predisposed, representing over 40% of TZL cases. Prior research ... -
Dataset associated with "Emissions and Radiative Impacts of Sub-10 nm Particles from Biofuel and Fossil Fuel Cookstoves"
Combustion sources have been shown to directly emit particles smaller than 10 nm. The emission of 1-3 nm particles from biofuel or fossil-fuel cookstoves has not been studied previously, nor have the radiative impacts of ... -
Dataset associated with "Effects of Aerosol Type and Simulated Aging on Performance of Low-Cost PM Sensors"
Studies that characterize the performance of low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors are needed to help practitioners understand the accuracy and precision of the mass and number concentrations reported by different models. ... -
Dataset Associated with "Volatile organic compounds and ozone at four national parks in the southwestern United States"
This file contains the sample information and concentrations of data collected during a study to characterize volatile organic compounds at four national parks in the southwestern US. These data are associated with the ... -
Dataset associated with Vanek et al., 2020, "Participatory design of improved forage/fallow options across soil gradients with farmers of the Central Peruvian Andes"
Land use intensity is increasing in Andean smallholder systems, and innovations are needed to sustain soil fertility and productivity of potato-cereal rotations with shortening fallow periods. In collaboration with farmers ... -
Dataset associated with "Changes to the Madden-Julian Oscillation in coupled and uncoupled aquaplanet simulations with 4xCO2"
The impacts of rising carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and ocean feedbacks on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) are investigated with the Community Atmospheric Model version 5 (CAM5) in an idealized aquaplanet ... -
Source code associated with "Shear-Parallel Tropical Convective Systems: Importance of Cold Pools and Wind Shear"
The impact of cold pools on line-orientated convective systems is assessed using idealized simulations of tropical oceanic convection under weak, moderate, and strong wind shear regimes. Cold pools are weakened by suppressing ... -
Dataset associated with "The role of the C2A domain of synaptotagmin 1 in asynchronous neurotransmitter release"
Following nerve stimulation, there are two distinct phases of Ca2+-dependent neurotransmitter release: a fast, synchronous release phase, and a prolonged, asynchronous release phase. Each of these phases is tightly regulated ... -
Dataset associated with "mRNA localization is linked to translation regulation in the Caenorhabditis elegans germ lineage"
Caenorhabditis elegans early embryos generate cell-specific transcriptomes despite lacking active transcription. This presents an opportunity to study mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulatory control. In seeking the ... -
Dataset associated with "Inspiration, inoculation, and introductions are all critical to successful mentorship for undergraduate women pursuing geoscience careers"
Diversity in the geosciences is low despite efforts to improve the representation of different groups in society, for example in terms of gender. Specifically, women are underrepresented in recruitment and retention at ... -

This record contains tables with location and measurements data from hydrologic (streamflow) work performed in Summer 2012 by S.R.Fassnacht, Niah B.H. Venable, Odgarav Jigjisuren and Sukhbaatar Jamiyankhuyag. -
MOR2 plot level climate data
MOR2 study plot level climate data from the WordClim (1950-2000), Climate Prediction Center (1979-2012), and APHRODITE (1961-2007). -
MOR2 ecological data
MOR2 ecological data were collected from 143 winter camps at three different grazing distances in four different ecological zones. Ecological field data includes soil pit descriptions, soul surface data including resource ... -
