Abstract
This collection contains data on hydroclimate, land cover change and water budget over land cover classes, used in the MS Thesis:
Ghimire, B. (2025). "Investigating Changes in Hydroclimate, Land Cover, and Evapotranspiration across The Great Salt Lake (GSL) Basin and its Major Subbasins," Civil and Environmental Engineering, Utah State University.
This study examined hydrologic processes within the river basins that relate to streamflow entering into the GSL, with a focus on land cover and how land cover changes are related to the hydrology and water balance. The data used in this study is organized into three resources listed in this collection that include: (1) water year averaged hydroclimatic data on precipitation, streamflow, air temperature, and evapotranspiration; (2) remotely sensed data on land cover over the Great Salt Lake (GSL) subbasins for the period of the water year 2004 to 2021; and (3) water budget data over land cover classes within the GSL basin. The hydroclimatic data over the GSL subbasins were obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) national water information system (NWIS) and Climate Engine, using their APIs. Climate Engine (Huntington et al., 2017) is an open-access climate cloud-computing platform that provides point and area-averaged time series climatic data for the continental United States. Land cover maps were collected from the Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) (https://eros.usgs.gov/lcmap/apps/data-downloads) collection produced by the USGS. These data were used to analyze the water balance, hydroclimatic trends, land cover change, and evapotranspiration over land cover classes within the river basins that drain to GSL to investigate causes for lake-level changes.
