In the United States (US), point-of-use DW (POU DW) is supplied via private tapwater (TW, predominantly private wells), public-supply TW, and bottled water (BW). Differences in management, monitoring, and messaging and lack of directly intercomparable exposure data influence the actual and perceived quality and safety of different DW supplies and directly impact consumer decision making. </p><p>OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this paper is to provide a meta-analysis (quantitative synthesis) of POU DW contaminant mixture exposures and corresponding potential human health effects of private-TW, public-TW, and BW by aggregating exposure results and harmonizing apical health benchmark weighted and bioactivity weighted effects predictions across previous studies by this research group. </p><p>DISCUSSION: Simultaneous exposures to multiple inorganic and organic contaminants of known or suspected human-health concern are common across all three DW supplies, with substantial variability observed in each and no systematic difference in predicted cumulative risk between supply chains. Differences in contaminant or contaminant class exposures (e.g., trace metals, disinfection byproducts), with important implications for DW quality improvements, were observed and attributed to corresponding differences in regulation and compliance monitoring. </p><p>CONCLUSION: The results indicate that human-health risks from contaminant exposures are common to and comparable in all three DW supplies, including BW. Importantly, this study’s target analytical coverage, which exceeds that currently feasible for water purveyors or homeowners, nevertheless is a substantial underestimation of the full breadth of contaminant mixtures in the environment and potentially present in DW. Thus, the results emphasize the need for improved understanding of the adverse human-health implications of long-term exposures to low level inorganic /organic contaminant mixtures across all three distribution pipelines and do not support commercial messaging of BW as a systematically safer alternative to public-TW. Regardless of the supply, increased engagement in source-water protection and drinking-water treatment, including consumer point of use treatment, is necessary to reduce risks associated with long-term DW contaminant exposures, especially in vulnerable populations, and to reduce environmental waste and plastics contamination.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.envint.2024.109220","usgsCitation":"Bradley, P., Romanok, K., Smalling, K., Gordon, S.E., Huffman, B.J., Friedman, K.,

The Mountain Plover (<i>Anarhynchus montanus</i>) is a rare endemic breeder of the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains regions that migrates to wintering grounds in the southwestern USA and northern Mexico. Information regarding its wintering abundance and distribution, particularly in Texas, is limited. This study provides the first population estimate for Mountain Plovers wintering in Texas and examines factors influencing their land cover use. Through distance sampling surveys in six ecoregions of Texas, we estimated an annual wintering population of 3096 (95% CI 1464–6547) Mountain Plovers during 2019–2020, with the greatest abundances in the Southern Texas Plains and Western Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregions. The highest plover densities were in the Southern Texas Plains and Central Great Plains ecoregions. Most plovers were found in cultivated crops, particularly tilled fields and sod farms, and plovers preferentially selected crop fields without residual vegetation or stubble. Grass/hay fields were used less, perhaps because of tall vegetation. Our findings highlight the significance of Texas as a wintering area for Mountain Plovers and emphasize the importance of specific cropland habitats for this species. These results provide crucial insights for conservation and management efforts aimed at protecting Mountain Plovers throughout their annual cycle.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Resilience

EMP whooping cranes (n = 29) consumed benthic macro-invertebrates, beetles, crabs/crayfish, vegetation, seeds, mollusks, and unidentifiable vertebrates. The diets of AWBP whooping cranes (n = 7) examined included all the same food items except benthic macro-invertebrates.

Our data suggests that the wild and reintroduced whooping crane populations are consuming similar types and amounts of food items to meet their dietary requirements.","language":"English","publisher":"University of Nebraska-Lincoln","usgsCitation":"Neri, H.A., Olsen, G.H., Kindahl, E.C., and Carney, S.L., 2025, The diets of wild and reintroduced whooping cranes: Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop, v. 16, p. 203-209.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"203","endPage":"209","ipdsId":"IP-169553","costCenters":[{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498740,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"16","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Neri, Heather A.","contributorId":365195,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Neri","given":"Heather","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":37175,"text":"Hood College","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953901,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Olsen, Glenn H. 0000-0002-7188-6203","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7188-6203","contributorId":238130,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Olsen","given":"Glenn","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953902,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kindahl, Eric C.","contributorId":365197,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kindahl","given":"Eric","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":37175,"text":"Hood College","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953903,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Carney, Susan L.","contributorId":365198,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Carney","given":"Susan","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":37175,"text":"Hood College","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953904,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Flow information is often not available at locations with known IBTs, which is a drawback in several published IBT databases. Few, if any, studies examine whether IBT flow behavior can be generalized, and if these behaviors can be predicted at undocumented locations or known IBT locations with no flow information. In this study, we employ a clustering method based on image matching to identify similar classes of flow behavior of IBTs. Machine learning models are used to assess how well IBT flow characteristics (e.g., average flow) associated with these behaviors can be predicted. These evaluations of IBTs are done for two regions in the United States. Three primary classes of IBTs (seasonal, nonseasonal/not mixed, and seasonal/mixed) are identified across the two regions analyzed. The IBT flow characteristics are accurately predicted in the northeast region. In the Colorado region, however, only the flow characteristics related to timing were accurately predicted. These results indicate that the proposed modeling framework can be used to identify generalizable IBT flow characteristics. This framework is shown to predict flow characteristics with a reasonable amount of accuracy to undocumented locations and improves previously published IBT databases by backfilling flow information to locations with a known IBT presence.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/1752-1688.13250","usgsCitation":"Eng, K., Medalie, L., Skinner, K.D., Ivahnenko, T., Heilman, J.A., and Smith, J.D., 2025, Predictability and behavior of water transfers across basin boundaries: Journal of the American Water Resources Association, v. 61, e13250, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/1752-1688.13250.","productDescription":"e13250, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-147952","costCenters":[{"id":37778,"text":"WMA -

In this study, we use the iterative Ensemble Smoother (iES), a powerful parameter estimation methodology implemented in the open-source PEST++ software. The iES provides an ensemble solution with an uncertainty bound instead of a single best estimate which has been the common approach in the previous WRF-Hydro studies. We discuss the importance of accounting for observation noise which results in a wider spread in the model solution. We investigate the impact of constructing objective functions by differentially weighting the observations to tune the model response toward model outputs appropriate for a specific application. Results confirm the necessity of differentially weighting the observations before calculation of the objective function as the optimization algorithm struggles with calculating parameter updates with uniform weighting. We also show that we achieve better model performance in terms of verification metrics with higher emphasis on the high flow events, when the objective function is tuned toward an application where the extreme events are of importance. We then investigate the impact of estimating more parameters, in particular we estimate a larger number of snow parameters. Results show a large improvement in the model performance. In summary, our study demonstrates the efficacy of employing iES alongside differential weighting of observations, highlighting its potential to enhance hydrological model parameter estimation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2024WR038048","usgsCitation":"RafieeiNasab, A., Fienen, M., Omani, N., Srivastava, I., and Dugger, A., 2025, Ensemble methods for parameter estimation of WRF-Hydro: Water Resources Research, v. 61, no. 1, e2024WR038048, 32 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2024WR038048.","productDescription":"e2024WR038048, 32 p.","ipdsId":"IP-172257","costCenters":[{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":481033,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024wr038048","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":480841,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"61","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"RafieeiNasab, Arezoo","contributorId":349704,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"RafieeiNasab","given":"Arezoo","affiliations":[{"id":24610,"text":"NCAR","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924612,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fienen, Michael N. 0000-0002-7756-4651","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7756-4651","contributorId":245632,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fienen","given":"Michael N.","affiliations":[{"id":474,"text":"New York Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":924613,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Omani, Nina","contributorId":349705,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Omani","given":"Nina","affiliations":[{"id":24610,"text":"NCAR","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924614,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Srivastava, Ishita","contributorId":349706,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Srivastava","given":"Ishita","affiliations":[{"id":24610,"text":"NCAR","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924615,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Dugger, Aubrey","contributorId":349707,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dugger","given":"Aubrey","affiliations":[{"id":24610,"text":"NCAR","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":924616,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Despite widespread recognition of the need for Indigenous knowledge and historical reference points as baseline data, archaeological data are rarely included in conservation biology research designs.

We used a newly developed, high throughput qPCR (HT-qPCR) chip, originally designed for environmental DNA (eDNA), for species identification of archaeological salmonid vertebrae. We combine this with the laser ablation split-stream (LASS) approach to identify ocean-migration versus freshwater residency.

However, marshes can persist under rising sea level through vertical accretion and migration into adjacent higher-elevation habitats. We measured rates of marsh shoreline change and migration and compared the results for historical and modern periods in a largely undeveloped and marine-dominated estuary within the Mississippi-Alabama coast of the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Mean shoreline change rate for the modern (post-1957) period was higher than historical rates (pre-1957) at −1.55&nbsp;±&nbsp;0.11&nbsp;m yr</span><sup>−1</sup><span>&nbsp;and -0.84&nbsp;±&nbsp;0.07&nbsp;m yr</span><sup>−1</sup><span>, respectively. Shoreline change rates were highest in regions where exposure to wind-driven waves increased due to barrier island migration and land loss. Marsh migration (modern 1.25&nbsp;±&nbsp;0.37&nbsp;m yr</span><sup>−1</sup><span>&nbsp;and historical 1.01&nbsp;±&nbsp;0.13&nbsp;m yr</span><sup>−1</sup><span>) occurred at similar rates as shoreline erosion except for the highest erosive shorelines, leading to an overall 15% marsh loss. Upland-to-marsh conversion occurred in forested areas and may have been encouraged by changes in management practices. In the Grand Bay estuary, our data show that marsh migration is not occurring at sufficient rates to compensate for marsh loss, resulting in overall loss in marsh habitat. Overall, migration may allow marsh to persist under rising sea levels but can lead to an overall reduction in forested or freshwater habitats if steep slopes or other barriers prevent their migration.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.ecss.2024.109106","usgsCitation":"Smith, K., Terrano, J.F., Jenkins, R., Pitchford, J.L., Passeri, D., and Smith, C., 2025, Shifts in marsh erosion, migration, and wave exposure over nearly two centuries of sea-level rise in the Gulf of Mexico: Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science, v. 313, 109106, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2024.109106.","productDescription":"109106, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-158052","costCenters":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":488386,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2024.109106","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465577,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alabama, Mississippi","otherGeospatial":"Gulf of Mexico","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -88.87381287579537,\n              30.63451483614469\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.87381287579537,\n              30.24759264551828\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.04948746031226,\n              30.24759264551828\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.04948746031226,\n              30.63451483614469\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.87381287579537,\n              30.63451483614469\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"313","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smith, Kathryn E.L. 0000-0002-7521-7875 kelsmith@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7521-7875","contributorId":173264,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Kathryn","email":"kelsmith@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.L.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922077,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Terrano, Joseph F. 0000-0003-3060-7682 jterrano@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3060-7682","contributorId":173263,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Terrano","given":"Joseph","email":"jterrano@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922078,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jenkins, Robert L.

The method provides a simultaneous pretreatment for the detection of several compounds, with detection limits from 0.002 to 0.41 ng/g dry weight, which are substantially lower than conventional methods.

Progress restoring the Everglades requires predictions of how overland flow of surface water can be increased to rehydrate and revive downstream areas without causing unintended harms. We developed a biophysical flow rate expression (BioFRE) that relates shallow overland flow to roughness dominated by spatially variable vegetation and microtopography. Hydraulic theory was combined with vegetation and topographic field data to quantify hydraulic roughness without calibrating the expression to fit hydrologic data. To assess changes in overland flow capacity, we benchmarked BioFRE against best available simulations of the historic Everglades and against present-day hydrologic data representing various levels of degradation. The simulations revealed that overland flow capacity of the Everglades in now half of what it was historically in the Everglades primarily because of the loss of deepwater sloughs. The relative sensitivity of simulated flows to the individual biophysical factors was quantified and related to habitat value and drought and flood resilience. Our approach can potentially be used in other flowing wetland and floodplain systems to understand and adaptively manage water and ecological resources.","language":"English","doi":"10.1016/j.ecoleng.2024.107491","usgsCitation":"Harvey, J., Choi, J., Wilcox, W., Brown, M., and Lal, W., 2025, Biophysical simulation of wetland surface water flow to predict changing water availability in the Everglades: Ecological Engineering, v. 212, 107491, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2024.107491.","productDescription":"107491, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-167812","costCenters":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":466672,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2024.107491","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465565,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","otherGeospatial":"Everglades","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -82.1076224101966,\n              26.691819233104567\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.1076224101966,\n              24.751056659514802\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.55347920896048,\n              24.751056659514802\n            ],\n            [\n              -79.55347920896048,\n              26.691819233104567\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.1076224101966,\n              26.691819233104567\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"212","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Harvey, Judson 0000-0002-2654-9873","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2654-9873","contributorId":219104,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Harvey","given":"Judson","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922038,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Choi, Jay 0000-0003-1276-481X jchoi@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1276-481X","contributorId":219096,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Choi","given":"Jay","email":"jchoi@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922039,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wilcox, Walter","contributorId":347595,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wilcox","given":"Walter","affiliations":[{"id":7036,"text":"South Florida Water Management District","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":922042,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Brown, Michael C.","contributorId":347681,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brown","given":"Michael C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":922170,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lal, Wasantha","contributorId":347594,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lal","given":"Wasantha","affiliations":[{"id":7036,"text":"South Florida Water Management District","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":922041,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

To support conservation actions that mitigate impacts from these dual threats, we have developed potential World Terrestrial Ecosystem (WTE) distributions for 2050 following IPCC best practice guidelines. This projection of ecosystem distributions builds on the previously released 2015 WTEs, a snapshot of the distribution and conservation status of 431 terrestrial ecosystem types defined as distinct combinations of 18 global climate regions, 4 global landform classes, and 8 global vegetation/land cover classes. Extending that work herein, we modeled the potential 2050 WTE distributions based on projections of five CMIP6 general circulation models (GCMs) and one global land cover change model, determined for three shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenarios. The climate region modeling included projections for 2050 for both mean annual temperature and mean annual aridity. Model agreement for changes to WTEs was generally high, particularly for temperature projections. Widespread changes in ecosystem classes due to shifts in climate settings and/or land cover between 2015 and 2050 were projected, with both the magnitude and specific geography of projected change largely governed by the SSP scenario. For the three SSP scenarios (sustainable development, regional rivalry, and fossil-fueled development), geographic changes in climate setting (temperature, aridity, or both) and/or changes in vegetation/land cover are projected for 29 %, 36 %, and 39 % of Earth’s terrestrial surface, respectively. These changes occur in areas where 31 %, 36 %, and 41 % of the global population lives. Projected changes in ecosystem distributions related to temperature change are approximately an order of magnitude greater than for aridity change. By offering insight into potential ecosystem changes, this new resource is intended to facilitate conservation planning and priority setting aimed at improved conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.gecco.2024.e03370","usgsCitation":"Sayre, R., Frye, C., Breyer, S., Roehrdanz, P., Elsen, P., Butler, K.,

Escapes and releases from captivity are major pathways of invasion, however, the risk posed by the thousands of imported vertebrate species has not been systematically assessed. We conducted a horizon scan that used a data-driven climate match to filter a list of nearly 15,000 taxa drawn from across the globe of imported fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals for rapid assessment by taxonomic experts. Experts evaluated 840 species and identified 32 (22 reptiles and 10 fishes) as having the highest risk for establishment, spread, and negative impacts. Of those high-risk species, the majority have the capacity to disrupt ecosystem processes via their role as top predators or the unique ecological niches that they occupy, while several of the snake species pose a threat to human health. High-risk species were often scored with high confidence while in contrast, low scores were attributed to a combination of ecological redundancy, low propagule pressure, or low climate match while low confidence arose from a lack of information in the literature (i.e., data deficiency). Our study therefore highlights legally imported species likely to cause the greatest harm with the recognition that many other species could also become invasive in the United States. The ranked list of vertebrate threats can be used to prioritize watchlists and inform the development of targeted regulations for importation can be applied to regions to provide a rapid, preliminary screening for large pools of potential invaders.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.biocon.2024.110887","usgsCitation":"Daniel, W., Sofaer, H., Jarnevich, C.S.,

In December 2022, State resource managers placed a 2-year moratorium on the Achilles tang fishery in west Hawai'i Island so that the cause of the collapse could be explored. The lack of life-history information for Achilles tang from Hawai'i, or elsewhere in its range, has been noted as an impediment to decision-making. Therefore, our objectives were to characterize this population’s age, growth, and reproductive biology. In working with community fishers, we collected 363 individuals ranging 69 – 264&nbsp;mm in fork length (FL) and 0 – 39&nbsp;years in age based on estimates from otoliths. Achilles tang in Hawai'i exhibit a high growth rate, reaching 138 ± 11&nbsp;mm FL (mean ± SE) in their first year, and exhibit relatively little growth after their second year (&lt; 5&nbsp;mm&nbsp;yr</span><sup>−1</sup><span>). The majority of males (92.0% of n = 101) and females (73.6% of n = 159) were classified as spawning capable or actively spawning, without annual or lunar periodicity. Our study highlights that the basic biology of Achilles tang poses unique challenges to fisheries managers looking to ensure its sustainable harvest. Future research will aim to characterize the susceptibility of recruits’ habitat to local environmental stressors and the relative connectivity of juvenile and adult habitats.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10641-024-01578-3","usgsCitation":"Grabowski, T.B., Massey, R., McSwain, D., Larson, A., Raz, L., Schemmel, E., Bartz, D., and Rodriguez, N., 2025, Age, growth, and reproductive biology of Achilles tang (Acanthurus achilles) around Hawai'i Island, USA, v. 108, p. 1-15, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10641-024-01578-3.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"15","ipdsId":"IP-157391","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":485710,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawaii","otherGeospatial":"Hawai'i Island","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -156.0629414851363,\n              19.75\n            ],\n            [\n              -156.0629414851363,\n              18.868620236698575\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.75,\n              18.868620236698575\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.75,\n              19.75\n            ],\n            [\n              -156.0629414851363,\n              19.75\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"108","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Grabowski, Timothy B. 0000-0001-9763-8948 tgrabowski@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9763-8948","contributorId":4178,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grabowski","given":"Timothy","email":"tgrabowski@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":936659,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Massey, Richard","contributorId":149291,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Massey","given":"Richard","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":936660,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McSwain, Dawn","contributorId":354935,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McSwain","given":"Dawn","affiliations":[{"id":35760,"text":"University of Hawai'i","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":936661,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Larson, Annie","contributorId":354937,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Larson","given":"Annie","affiliations":[{"id":35760,"text":"University of Hawai'i","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":936662,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Raz, Lillian Joy Tuttle 0000-0002-5009-8080","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5009-8080","contributorId":354940,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Raz","given":"Lillian Joy Tuttle","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":936663,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Schemmel, Eva","contributorId":354941,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schemmel","given":"Eva","affiliations":[{"id":36803,"text":"NOAA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":936664,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Bartz, Danielle E.","contributorId":354943,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bartz","given":"Danielle E.","affiliations":[{"id":35760,"text":"University of Hawai'i","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":936665,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Rodriguez, Nikola","contributorId":354946,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rodriguez","given":"Nikola","affiliations":[{"id":35760,"text":"University of Hawai'i","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":936666,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Our study applied habitat suitability indices and network analysis to identify lakes critical to the continued westward spread and establishment of zebra mussels from a key invasion front in Texas. We created multiple networks consisting of lake nodes and connecting roadway edges. Each network represented the potential connectivity of lakes for recreational users depending on the distance boaters were likely to travel. We evaluated three networks with different maximum edge lengths based on boater movement surveys: 363-km, 125-km, and 51-km. Via graph analysis, we identified lakes critical to mussel spread by acting as hubs, stepping stones, or cutpoints in each network. Water quality-based habitat suitability indices classified most lakes in the study area as moderate to high suitability. In all networks, hubs were concentrated in northeastern Texas. At the lowest maximum edge lengths, stepping stones were also concentrated in the northeast, but could be found in the western portions of the study area as maximum travel distance increased. No cutpoints were found in the 363-km maximum edge length network, indicating a highly connected network with the potential for further western spread facilitated by stepping stones in western Texas and New Mexico. Identifying critical lakes using network analysis and habitat suitability indices provides a predictive tool for resource managers to guide the allocation of limited time and resources for management

Previous camera-stage studies have shown promising results when implementing this technology with tight constraints on test conditions. However, there is a need for a more comprehensive evaluation of the extensibility of camera-stage to practical applications. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test a camera-stage method under a wide variety of test conditions to better understand the successes and challenges of using this technology in real-world scenarios. In this study, this approach was tested during Water Year 2020 at three existing U.S. Geological Study (USGS) stream gaging stations in south central Wisconsin that had existing USGS water-level instrumentation. The specific reference objects tested were white pipes and a concrete wall. Since successful application of camera-stage relies on use of suitable images, all captured images in this study were visually inspected to determine suitability for application of camera-stage. Camera-stage measurements were then computed only on images deemed suitable and the results were compared with ground-truth stage values to determine the accuracy. For the purposes of this study, camera-stage values within ±0.10 ft of the actual stage were considered acceptable. One major challenge highlighted was the potential difficulty in obtaining suitable imagery, with the proportion of suitable images varying greatly between the four trials from 38 % to 92 %. The results from applying camera-stage to suitable images were encouraging though, with 79 % to 99 % of evaluated camera-stage values qualifying as acceptable among the four test trials.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.hydroa.2024.100199","usgsCitation":"Johnson, K.E., Reneau, P., and Komiskey, M.J., 2025, Practical application of time-lapse camera imagery to develop water-level data for three hydrologic monitoring sites in Wisconsin during water year 2020: Journal of Hydrology X, v. 26, 100199, 12 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hydroa.2024.100199.","productDescription":"100199, 12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-152041","costCenters":[{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":466673,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hydroa.2024.100199","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465442,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Wisconsin","county":"Sauk County","otherGeospatial":"Lake Redstone","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -90.10509451311265,\n              43.649948800545786\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.10509451311265,\n              43.58310310760555\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.07129958906278,\n              43.58310310760555\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.07129958906278,\n              43.649948800545786\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.10509451311265,\n              43.649948800545786\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Johnson, Keegan Eland 0000-0003-1940-4542","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1940-4542","contributorId":332782,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Keegan","email":"","middleInitial":"Eland","affiliations":[{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921733,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Reneau, Paul 0000-0002-1335-7573","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1335-7573","contributorId":217293,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reneau","given":"Paul","affiliations":[{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921734,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Komiskey, Matthew J. 0000-0003-2962-6974 mjkomisk@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2962-6974","contributorId":1776,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Komiskey","given":"Matthew","email":"mjkomisk@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921735,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The 2020 Wisconsin Waterfowl Habitat Conservation Strategy (WWHCS) uses a DST to identify priority ecological landscapes and watersheds to guide waterfowl habitat projects. The WWHCS DST relies on waterfowl habitat suitability layers derived through expert opinion in lieu of species distributions, a common approach in DSTs. Given the inherent subjectivity of expert opinion, data-driven species distributions such as those available from citizen science projects, could provide more accurate information and better identify areas important for waterfowl conservation. Here, we explore the application of relative abundance products available through the eBird Status and Trends project as an alternative to expert-derived habitat suitability layers in the WWHCS DST. Our objectives were to compare seasonal species distributions derived from habitat suitability models (expert-derived) and species distribution models (eBird-derived) and determine whether differences influenced DST prioritizations. Correlations between expert- and eBird-derived distributions were generally low to moderate for the breeding and fall layers (ρ: -0.03–0.76), and least for the spring (ρ: -0.49–0.72). There was minimal agreement among top-ranked ecological landscapes (40%) and watersheds (28%) between the expert- and eBird-derived versions of the DST. Overall, our results suggest the DST may benefit from incorporating data-driven species distributions. However, additional work validating eBird relative abundance against professional surveys (e.g., aerial counts) and empirical studies evaluating waterfowl habitat selection and vital rates are important future considerations for the WWHCS DST and waterfowl habitat conservation in Wisconsin.","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Conservation Biology","doi":"10.1111/csp2.13281","usgsCitation":"Winiarski, J., Shipley, A., Fowler, D., Palumbo, M., and Straub, J., 2025, Evaluating approaches for integrating species distributions in spatial conservation planning: Conservation Science and Practice, v. 7, no. 1, e13281, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.13281.","productDescription":"e13281, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-154437","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":487659,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.13281","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":482268,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Wisconsin","volume":"7","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Winiarski, Jason M.","contributorId":351090,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Winiarski","given":"Jason M.","affiliations":[{"id":6913,"text":"Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":927891,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Shipley, Amy A.","contributorId":351091,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Shipley","given":"Amy A.","affiliations":[{"id":6913,"text":"Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":927892,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Fowler, Drew Nathan 0000-0001-9347-4579","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9347-4579","contributorId":341123,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fowler","given":"Drew Nathan","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":927893,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Palumbo, Matthew D.","contributorId":351092,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Palumbo","given":"Matthew D.","affiliations":[{"id":17717,"text":"University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":927894,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Straub, Jacob N.","contributorId":351093,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Straub","given":"Jacob N.","affiliations":[{"id":83917,"text":"Jacob N.

Mapping waterfowl distributions, using NEXRAD, may aid in the adaptive management of important waterfowl habitat and allow various government agencies to better understand the interface between wild and domestic birds and commercial agricultural practices. We used 9 years (2014–2023) of data from the US NEXRAD network to model winter waterfowl relative abundance in the CVC and MA as a function of weather, temporal period, environmental conditions, and landcover characteristics using boosted regression tree modelling. We were able to quantify the variability in effect size of 28 different covariates across space and time within two geographic regions which are critical to nationwide waterfowl management and host a high density of nationally important commercial agriculture. In general, weather, geographic (distance to features), and landcover condition (wetness index) predictors had the strongest relative effect on predicting wintering waterfowl relative abundance in both regions, while effects of land cover composition were more regionally and temporally specific. Increased daily mean temperature was a major predictor of increasing relative waterfowl abundance in both regions throughout the winter. Increasing precipitation had differing effects within regions, increasing relative waterfowl abundance in the MA, while decreasing in general within the CVC. Increasing relative waterfowl abundance in the CVC are strongly tied to the flooding of the landscape and rice availability, whereas waterfowl in the MA, where water is less limiting, are generally governed by waste grain availability and emergent wetland on the landscape. Waterfowl relative abundance in the MA was generally higher nearer to the Atlantic coast and lakes, while in the CVC they were higher nearer to lakes. Our findings promote a better understanding of spatial associations of waterfowl to landscape features and may aid in conservation and biosecurity management

We examined the hypothesis that adaptive management could erode barriers to IPM implementation by developing a decision-analytic adaptive management framework for invasive sea lamprey (<i>Petromyzon marinus</i>) IPM in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America. The framework addressed objectives associated with coordinating multiple sea lamprey control actions at the regional scale and objectives associated with internal validity of control actions. We reduced the scope of possible management actions by orders of magnitude to the set of 6432 alternatives expected to be both socially acceptable and technically feasible. Using utility theory, we identified the management actions that optimized expected utility for all possible objective weighting schemes that considered tradeoffs between maximizing learning about control tactic efficacy and minimizing cost to the IPM program. Sensitivity analyses revealed that assumptions about the social acceptability of deploying electric weirs to control invasive sea lamprey influenced selection of the optimal control action, suggesting that resolving this source of uncertainty through iterative application of the framework may lead to improved sea lamprey control outcomes. Overall, we found that adaptive management enabled learning processes useful for overcoming barriers to IPM of invasive sea lamprey. It formalized learning about sea lamprey control tactic efficacy as an objective of the IPM institution, questioned previously held assumptions about what constitutes a viable control strategy, and enabled a management experiment with temporal and spatial replication.</div></div></div></div><div id=\"reading-assistant-main-body-section\"><br></div><ul id=\"issue-navigation\" class=\"issue-navigation u-margin-s-bottom u-bg-grey1\"></ul>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.123666","usgsCitation":"Lewandoski, S.A., Robinson, K.F., Brenden, T., Booth, R., Hrodey, P., Hume, J.B., Pratt, T., Scott, A., Symbal, M., Wagner, C., and Johnson, N.S., 2025, Decision analysis of Integrated Pest Management: A case study on invasive sea lamprey in the Great Lakes Basin: Journal of Environmental Management, v. 373, 123666, 11 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.123666.","productDescription":"123666, 11 p.","ipdsId":"IP-170804","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":466675,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.123666","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465403,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","state":"Michigan, Ontario, Wisconsin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -90,\n              47.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -90,\n              44\n            ],\n            [\n              -83,\n              44\n            ],\n            [\n              -83,\n              47.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -90,\n              47.5\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"373","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lewandoski, Sean Alois 0000-0002-6801-5861","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6801-5861","contributorId":340324,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lewandoski","given":"Sean","email":"","middleInitial":"Alois","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921595,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Robinson, Kelly Filer 0000-0001-8109-9492","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8109-9492","contributorId":340631,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Robinson","given":"Kelly","email":"","middleInitial":"Filer","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921596,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brenden, Travis O.","contributorId":276046,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brenden","given":"Travis O.","affiliations":[{"id":36244,"text":"MSU","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921597,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Booth, Ryan","contributorId":347386,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Booth","given":"Ryan","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13677,"text":"Fisheries and Oceans Canada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921598,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Hrodey, Peter","contributorId":347387,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hrodey","given":"Peter","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6661,"text":"US Fish and Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921599,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Hume, John B.","contributorId":150987,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hume","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":6601,"text":"Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921600,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Pratt, Thomas C.","contributorId":24672,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pratt","given":"Thomas C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":921601,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Scott, Anne M","contributorId":264137,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Scott","given":"Anne M","affiliations":[{"id":6601,"text":"Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921602,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Symbal, Matthew","contributorId":347391,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Symbal","given":"Matthew","affiliations":[{"id":6661,"text":"US Fish and Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":921603,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Wagner, C.

Infections of bighorn sheep populations are typically characterized by initial all-age epizootics followed by long-term periods of repressed juvenile (lamb) survival. Populations of bighorn sheep in New Mexico, USA, were thought to be free of this pathogen prior to 2017 but recent infection of multiple herds raised concerns regarding impacts on population size and juvenile:female ratios. Using aerial survey, survival, and disease sampling data in an exploratory framework, we (1) characterize age-related differences in&nbsp;</span><i>M. ovipneumoniae</i><span>&nbsp;prevalence and seroprevalence, (2) quantify differences in lamb:ewe ratios pre- and post-</span><i>M. ovipneumoniae</i><span>&nbsp;detection, and (3) investigate differences in survival between previously exposed and naïve individuals. From 2007 to 2022, we sampled 466 bighorn sheep across 19 populations in New Mexico for&nbsp;</span><i>M. ovipneumoniae</i><span>&nbsp;exposure. While the timing of initial herd infections varied across populations, one population sustained active infections for over 15 years. We found reduced juvenile:female ratios post&nbsp;</span><i>M. ovipneumoniae</i><span>&nbsp;exposure for both desert (</span><i>O. c. mexicana</i><span>) and Rocky Mountain (</span><i>O. c. canadensis</i><span>) bighorn sheep populations. Post-exposure ratio declines ranged from 20% to 69%. Evaluation of population size and environmental condition effects on juvenile:female ratios indicated varying impacts for each subspecies. Notably, population size was negatively related to Rocky Mountain juvenile:female ratios only after populations were exposed to&nbsp;</span><i>M. ovipneumoniae</i><span>. Additionally, climatic conditions in the previous lambing season and pre-parturition time frame were associated with juvenile:female ratios for Rocky Mountain populations, while juvenile:female ratios of desert bighorn appeared to only be affected by pre-parturition climatic conditions.

The Statewide California Earthquake Center/U.S. Geological Survey Community Stress-Drop Validation Study was initiated to compare source parameter estimates, focusing initially on a dataset from the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence. As part of that validation effort, here we focus on one potential source of uncertainty: whether spectral fitting approaches alone, applied to a common set of spectra from the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence result in different source parameter estimates. By using a common set of benchmark spectra analyzed across a consistent frequency band of 1–40 Hz, we eliminate many sources of variability. A subgroup of validation study participants volunteered to estimate the low-frequency displacement (Ω0) and corner frequency (<i>f</i><sub>c</sub> ) by fitting a smooth function to benchmark displacement spectra. Participants used linear- or log-sampled spectra, assumed a Brune or Boatwright spectral model, and applied different misfit criteria. We compare 17 approaches used to estimate Ω0, <i>f</i><sub>c</sub> , and Δσ for 54 earthquake spectra. Our results reveal that 35% of events have Δσ estimates within a factor of two, whereas others exhibit variations exceeding an order of magnitude. The variability in Ω0 and f c can largely be attributed to whether a spectrum is consistent with the smooth function of an idealized simple crack model. The trade-off between Ω0 and <i>f</i><sub>c</sub> may be more pronounced when using linearly sampled spectra, as higher frequency spectral bumps control the fits. As expected, methods that assumed a Boatwright model tended to have lower Ω0 and somewhat higher f c compared to those assuming a Brune model, although resulting Δσ estimates are similar. When compared to the overall validation study results, the fitting approach alone may account for between 5% and 90% (25% on average) of the total variability in spectral Δσ.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/0120240140","usgsCitation":"Cochran, E.S., Baltay Sundstrom, A.S., Chu, S., Abercrombie, R., Bindi, D.,

However, due to the heterogeneity of city landscapes, urban vegetation experiences a diverse range of environmental conditions, potentially leading to differences in growing season timing and length within cities. Here, we investigate physical drivers of urban land surface phenology and timing within a semi-arid city (Denver, CO, USA) using four years (2018–2021) of remotely sensed vegetation indices, modelled air temperature, and land cover datasets. Within the metropolitan region study area, satellite-based vegetation index measurements indicate that growing season length is variable on sub-neighborhood spatial scales. This variability is largely due to differences in the timing of fall senescence, as opposed to early season growth. Areas with substantial fractions of irrigated land cover tend to remain greener for longer, while unirrigated and cooler areas are correlated with an earlier end to the growing season (up to ∼two months shorter). These findings complement those from non-arid cities where surface and air temperature are the dominant environmental control on phenological timing. Results here indicate the importance of soil moisture for phenology in semi-arid regions and suggest unique semi-arid urban growing season dynamics and temperature-vegetation feedbacks. These interactions have implications for water, heat, and vegetation management strategies to maximize ecosystem services in water-limited environments.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"IOP Science","doi":"10.1088/1748-9326/ad9759","usgsCitation":"Crawford, B., Kelsey, K., Ibsen, P.C., Rees, A., and Charobee, A., 2025, Intra-urban variations in land surface phenology in a semi-arid environment: Environmental Research Letters, v. 20, no. 1, 014036, 12 p., https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ad9759.","productDescription":"014036, 12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-162227","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":466676,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ad9759","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465673,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","city":"Denver","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -105.26461885813289,\n              39.98298361550752\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.26461885813289,\n              39.07785819197471\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.18241816311294,\n              39.07785819197471\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.18241816311294,\n              39.98298361550752\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.26461885813289,\n              39.98298361550752\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"20","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Crawford, Ben","contributorId":347747,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Crawford","given":"Ben","affiliations":[{"id":16824,"text":"University of Colorado Denver","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":922372,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kelsey, Kathy","contributorId":347748,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kelsey","given":"Kathy","affiliations":[{"id":16824,"text":"University of Colorado Denver","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":922373,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ibsen, Peter Christian 0000-0002-3436-9100","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3436-9100","contributorId":260735,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ibsen","given":"Peter","email":"","middleInitial":"Christian","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922374,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Rees, Amanda","contributorId":347749,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rees","given":"Amanda","affiliations":[{"id":16824,"text":"University of Colorado Denver","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":922375,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Charobee, Amanda","contributorId":347770,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Charobee","given":"Amanda","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":922411,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Previous efforts to aid in this selection process include a scientifically defensible and quantitative assessment of basins facing human-caused water resource challenges (Van Metre et al. in <i>Environmental Monitoring and Assessment</i>, 192(7), 458 2020). In the present work, we explore this ranking process based on water quality considerations, specifically salinity and salinization. We selected top candidate basins to study salinity and salinization issues in 18 hydrologic regions that include 163 candidate basins. Our prioritization is based on quantitative assessment of sources of salinity, drivers of change, and receptors that must respond to those sources and drivers. Source terms represented in the prioritization include geology, depth to brackish groundwater, stream conductivity, chloride in precipitation, urban and agricultural land use, application of road salt as a deicer, and irrigation. Drivers represented in prioritization include changes in chemical weathering as a result of changes in rainwater chemistry. Receptors include measures of water stress, measurements of stream ecological health, and socioeconomic factors. In addition, we present research activities for the USGS on salinity and salinization that can be pursued in these basins including assessment of sources, pathways, and loadings; predicting and understanding changes in sources, peaks, and trends; understanding the components of salinity and mobilization of contaminants; understanding the relationship between salinization and changing ecosystems; and developing knowledge on the causes and distribution of groundwater salinity, brackish water resources, and challenges related to desalination.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer Nature","doi":"10.1007/s10661-024-13264-z","usgsCitation":"Conaway, C., Baker, N.T., Brown, C., Green, C.T., and Kent, D.B., 2025, Prioritizing US Geological Survey science on salinization and salinity in candidate and selected priority river basins: Enviornmental Monitoring and Assessment, v. 197, 59, 31 p., https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-024-13264-z.","productDescription":"59, 31 p.","ipdsId":"IP-156369","costCenters":[{"id":466,"text":"New England Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":35860,"text":"Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":466677,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-024-13264-z","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465572,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"197","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Conaway, Christopher H. 0000-0002-0991-033X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0991-033X","contributorId":201932,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Conaway","given":"Christopher H.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922089,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Baker, Nancy T. 0000-0002-7979-5744","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7979-5744","contributorId":222870,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Baker","given":"Nancy","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":35860,"text":"Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922090,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brown, Craig J. 0000-0002-3858-3964","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3858-3964","contributorId":210450,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brown","given":"Craig J.","affiliations":[{"id":466,"text":"New England Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922091,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Green, Christopher T. 0000-0002-6480-8194 ctgreen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6480-8194","contributorId":1343,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Green","given":"Christopher","email":"ctgreen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922092,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kent, Douglas B. 0000-0003-3758-8322 dbkent@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3758-8322","contributorId":1871,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kent","given":"Douglas","email":"dbkent@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922093,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The target injection interval consists of numerous Cretaceous-aged deep saline aquifers overlain by a competent and extensive regional sealing layer. Above the seal, the deepest Underground Source of Drinking Water (USDW) at the site is the Eutaw aquifer of the Eutaw Group and McShan Formation, undifferentiated. To assess potential risks of leakage from the deep sequestration reservoir, a model of a portion of the Cretaceous Eutaw Group was constructed in this study. Simulations tested various permeabilities, hypothetical leakage rates, and plume mitigation strategies utilizing existing wells. Results suggest that, under the influence of regional groundwater flow fields, leaking CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;would effectively bypass the existing wells, and to influence this migration would require very large water extraction rates. Therefore, to ensure plume detection, monitoring for leakage at the injection wells themselves is very important.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s12665-024-11973-9","usgsCitation":"Plampin, M.R., and Merrill, M., 2025, Hypothetical CO2 leakage into, and hydrological plume management within, an underground source of drinking water at a proposed CO2 storage facility, Kemper County, Mississippi, USA: Environmental Geosciences, v. 84, 18, 11 p., https://doi.org/10.1007/s12665-024-11973-9.","productDescription":"18, 11 p.","ipdsId":"IP-155011","costCenters":[{"id":49175,"text":"Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":466678,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12665-024-11973-9","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":465284,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Mississippi","county":"Kemper County","geographicExtents":"{\"type\":\"FeatureCollection\",\"features\":[{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"geometry\":{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[-88.3461,32.9278],[-88.3559,32.8499],[-88.3727,32.7042],[-88.3883,32.5778],[-88.5413,32.5771],[-88.5538,32.5772],[-88.7878,32.5763],[-88.8014,32.576],[-88.8134,32.5761],[-88.8167,32.5762],[-88.9135,32.5753],[-88.9161,32.8272],[-88.9158,32.8463],[-88.9169,32.9228],[-88.8131,32.9241],[-88.5676,32.9263],[-88.3461,32.9278]]]},\"properties\":{\"name\":\"Kemper\",\"state\":\"MS\"}}]}","volume":"84","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Plampin, Michelle R. 0000-0003-4068-5801 mplampin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4068-5801","contributorId":204983,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Plampin","given":"Michelle","email":"mplampin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":49175,"text":"Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921444,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Merrill, Matthew D. 0000-0003-3766-847X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3766-847X","contributorId":205698,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Merrill","given":"Matthew D.","affiliations":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":921445,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
