Collections in Calisphere
All of the items in Calisphere are organized into collections. Collections bring context to images, documents, videos, and audio recordings. Some collections represent a particular topic or format, some have items created by the same person, and some showcase an institution’s special project or initiative. Use the tabs below to explore the hundreds of collections in Calisphere.

Data from: A climate vulnerability assessment of cultural heritage in the La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site World Heritage Site
Climate change poses a threat not only to the environmental and physical aspects of the places where people live, but also to their identities and ways of living, as well as those of the communities around them. Conducted as part of the requirements of the Master of Advanced Studies in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), this capstone project consists of a climate vulnerability assessment of the La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site World Heritage Site in Puerto Rico, based on a literature review of existing scientific data. Its purpose is to inform a …

Data from: A Climatic Sand Management Model for Cardiff State Beach, CA
The beach topography and nearshore bathymetry data contained in this object where used to create a sediment budget model and produce the data figures in the paper titled “A Climatic Sand Management Model for Cardiff State Beach, CA” by Gopal et al., 2023. The data set includes annual mean beach width and nearshore mobile sediment volume estimates between 2000-2019 at South Torrey Pines State Beach and Cardiff State Beach, CA. MATLAB program code to read the data files, model the sediment budget equation in Gopal et al, and recreate the data figures in the paper is also included.

Data from: A Glimpse through Time and Space: Visualizing Spatial Continuity and History-making at Çatalhöyük, Turkey
This collection is an updated version of a previous collection made available in 2018 (https://doi.org/10.6075/J0SX6BDP). It is part of the revisions required in the peer-review process of the related journal article. This new peer-reviewed collection includes a set of revised 3-D models of the Shrine 10 sequence of building at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük, Turkey, derived 3-D renders, an executable Win64 desktop app that interactively reconstruct the case study, a set of Unity 3D game engine asset packages ready to import in a new project as users see fit, and the Unity 3D game engine project, including the app …

Data from: A Living Vector Field Reveals Constraints on Galactose Network Induction in Yeast
Abstract: When a cell encounters a new environment, its transcriptional response can be constrained by its history. For example, yeast cells in galactose induce GAL genes with a speed and unanimity that depends on previous nutrient conditions. Cellular memory of long-term glucose exposure delays GAL induction and makes it highly variable with in a cell population, while other nutrient histories lead to rapid, uniform responses. To investigate how cell-level gene expression dynamics produce population-level phenotypes, we collected thousands of microscopy images of fields of cells as they switched to galactose from various nutrient histories, extracted time series of thousands of …

Data from: A new method for diagnosing effective radiative forcing from aerosol-cloud interactions in climate models
Aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) are a leading source of uncertainty in estimates of the historical effective radiative forcing (ERF). One reason for this uncertainty is the difficulty of estimating the ERF from aerosol-cloud interactions (ERFaci) in climate models, which typically requires multiple calls to the radiation code and cannot disentangle the contributions from different process to ERFaci. Here, we develop a new, computationally efficient method for estimating the shortwave (SW) ERFaci from liquid clouds using histograms of monthly-averaged cloud fraction partitioned by cloud droplet effective radius (re) and liquid water path (LWP). Multiplying the histograms with SW cloud radiative kernels gives …

Data from: Absolute Templating of M(111) Cluster Surrogates by Galvanic Exchange
The precise preparation of monodisperse nanomaterials is among the most fundamental tasks in inorganic synthesis and materials science. Achieving this goal by galvanic exchange is hardly predictable, and often results in major structural changes and polydisperse mixtures. Taking advantage of the enhanced stability imparted by ambiphilic carbenes, we report and rationalize the absolute templating—the complete exchange of metals in a template—of group 11 clusters across the entire coinage metal family by means of galvanic exchange. We further delineate that these species provide a molecular model for better understanding the reduction of CO2 at M(111) coinage metal surfaces.

Data from: Airborne observations of shoaling and breaking internal waves
This collection contains processed data presented in: Airborne observations of shoaling and breaking internal waves. The presented data can be used to reconstruct all of the figures and covers: 1) A mosaic of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) 2) Spectral analysis of the alongwave temperature structures. 3) Horizontal sea surface currents (and their derivatives) determined using the PIV method. 4) Vertical velocity and areas of the wave undergoing active breaking - determined using a simple model. Abstract of the associated paper: Internal waves are crucial contributors to the transport of sediment, heat, and nutrients in coastal areas. While internal waves have …
