Sediment samples were collected from two areas representative of prime migration and overwintering waterfowl habitat in Dorchester County, Maryland in the fall and winter of 2013–2014. Samples were screened for the presence of AIV via reverse transcriptase–quantitative PCR targeting the matrix gene. Although 13.6% of sediment samples were positive for the AIV matrix gene across all collection dates and locations, differences in detection were noted with location and collection season. Percentage of AIV-positive sediment samples recovered corresponded to trends in waterfowl abundance at collection sites both temporally and spatially. These findings provide further support for the assertion that the presence of AIV in the aquatic environment is likely affected by the total number, site-specific density, and array of waterfowl species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Association of Avian Pathologists","doi":"10.1637/11687-060917-ResNote.1","usgsCitation":"Densmore, C., Iwanowicz, D.D., Ottinger, C.,

Unfortunately, applying theory to learn about the role of spatial structure on populations has been hindered by the lack of mechanistic spatial models and inability to make precise observations of population state and structure. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) represents an individual‐based analytic framework for overcoming this fundamental obstacle that has limited the utility of ecological theory. SCR methods make explicit use of spatial encounter information on individuals in order to model density and other spatial aspects of animal population structure, and they have been widely adopted in the last decade. We review the historical context and emerging developments in SCR models that enable the integration of explicit ecological hypotheses about landscape connectivity, movement, resource selection, and spatial variation in density, directly with individual encounter history data obtained by new technologies (e.g. camera trapping, non‐invasive DNA sampling). We describe ways in which SCR methods stand to advance the study of animal population ecology.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Nordic Society Oikos","doi":"10.1111/ecog.03170","usgsCitation":"Royle, J.A., Fuller, A.K., and Sutherland, C., 2017, Unifying population and landscape ecology with spatial capture-recapture: Ecography, v. 41, no. 3, p. 444-456, https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.03170.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"444","endPage":"456","numberOfPages":"13","ipdsId":"IP-081473","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470160,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.03170","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":362501,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"41","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-08-21","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Royle, J.

GRSA lies within a prominent embayment in the range front where two separate sections of the Sangre de Cristo fault system intersect. Fault scarps are observed along both intersecting fault zones within older basin-fill alluvium, but have been obscured by the actively migrating dunefield. The dune sand is also strongly magnetic, locally limiting the usefulness of aeromagnetic methods for mapping concealed structure. This study uses airborne geophysical methods, primarily airborne gravity gradient data, along with constraints from geologic mapping and limited subsurface data and groundwater modeling, to interpret the subsurface basin geometry and range-front structure of the embayment. Using forward modeling of the gravity gradient data and locations of faults inferred from gravity gradient and aeromagnetic lineaments, several previously unrecognized tectonic elements are interpreted adjacent to the range front. Some of the largest rift-related fault offsets are demonstrated to be basinward of the normal fault zones mapped at the surface along the range front of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, along faults concealed under the dunefield and subparallel to the two fault sections. A fault-bounded structural bench, likely composed of Proterozoic rocks, underlies most of the high dunefield at depths of 500 m to 1 km. The bench is truncated on its southwest margin by a northwest-trending, southwest-dipping normal fault. A northeast-trending, northwest-dipping normal fault with ∼600 m of estimated relief lies under the southern margin of the dunefield and bounds a structurally higher bench of Proterozoic rocks concealed at &lt;400 m depth near the range front. The northwest- and northeast-trending geophysical lineaments generally correspond well with the trends of faults mapped at the surface, and with both pre- and syn-rift structures in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Aeromagnetic anomalies are explained by variations in the magnetization of pre-rift rocks, and the strongly magnetic dune sand.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/GES01439.1","usgsCitation":"Drenth, B.J., Grauch, V.J., Ruleman, C.A., and Schenk, J.A., 2017, Geophysical expression of buried range-front embayment structure: Great Sand Dunes National Park, Rio Grande rift, Colorado: Geosphere, v. 13, no. 3, p. 974-990, https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01439.1.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"974","endPage":"990","ipdsId":"IP-080301","costCenters":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470161,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1130/ges01439.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":360890,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","otherGeospatial":"Great Sand Dunes National Park, Rio Grande rift","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -105.64453124999999,\n              37.661809012124635\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.48763275146483,\n              37.661809012124635\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.48763275146483,\n              37.83636090929915\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.64453124999999,\n              37.83636090929915\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.64453124999999,\n              37.661809012124635\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"13","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-05-10","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Drenth, Benjamin J. 0000-0002-3954-8124 bdrenth@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3954-8124","contributorId":1315,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Drenth","given":"Benjamin","email":"bdrenth@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":755752,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Grauch, V.

These upward trends contrast those of legacy pollutants, such as lead, PCBs, and DDT, which were restricted or banned in the 1970s. Trends of these legacy pollutants have been downward since they were banned (Figures 1 and 2). </p><p>Understanding the causes of trends in PAHs is complicated by their many natural and anthropogenic sources. PAHs are contained in fossil fuels and also are produced when materials that contain carbon, including oil, coal, gasoline, and diesel fuel, are heated or burned. Although many studies have considered vehicle emissions as a potential source of urban PAHs, estimated emissions of PAHs from vehicles in the United States declined almost ten-fold from 1971 (32,000 metric tons, or Mg) to 2000 (3,500 Mg), and this decline continues. Vehicle emissions therefore cannot account for the upward trend found in urban lake sediments – there must be some other primary source or sources of the upward trend in PAHs. </p>","language":"English","publisher":"North American Lake Management Society","usgsCitation":"Van Metre, P.C., and Mahler, B., 2017, Trends and sources of PAHs to urban lakes and streams: Lakeline, v. 37, no. 1, p. 8-12.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"8","endPage":"12","ipdsId":"IP-083092","costCenters":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":360801,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"37","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Van Metre, Peter C. 0000-0001-7564-9814","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7564-9814","contributorId":211144,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Van Metre","given":"Peter","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":451,"text":"National Water Quality Assessment Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":583,"text":"Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":374,"text":"Maryland Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":27111,"text":"National Water Quality Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":754940,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mahler, Barbara 0000-0002-9150-9552 bjmahler@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9150-9552","contributorId":1249,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mahler","given":"Barbara","email":"bjmahler@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":583,"text":"Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":754941,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Early results suggest a large degree of variation among sites, with possible systematic differences in growth responses between RNP and HDWT.

In an earlier paper [1], only ambient data were used to identify dynamic characteristics. Recently, the 72-channel instrumental array of the building recorded the 24 August 2014 Mw6.0 South Napa and three other earthquakes – allowing comparison of the dynamic characteristics using ambient and earthquake data. Peak accelerations of ambient and the larger South  Napa EQ responses at the basement are 0.12 and 5.2 cm/s/s, respectively – a factor of ~ 42 and, at the 61st level, are 0.30 and 16.8 cm/s/s, respectively –a factor of ~56. Fundamental frequencies determined from spectral ratios for the NS (~0.3Hz), EW (0.27Hz) and torsional accelerations for the earthquake response vary within an insignificant frequency band of ~ 0.02-0.03 Hz as compared to those determined from ambient data. At the level of shaking, BRBs or TSDs are not effective enough to alter dynamic characteristics (frequency or damping). Under future stronger (e.g. design level) shaking of the building, the nonlinearities caused by actions of TSDs and BRBs can substantially shift the dynamic characteristics of the building.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the 16th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"16th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering","conferenceDate":"January 9-13, 2017","conferenceLocation":"Santiago, Chile","language":"English","publisher":"National Information Centre of Earthquake Engineering","usgsCitation":"Celebi, M., Hooper, J., and Klemencic, R., 2017, Responses of a 64-story unique San Francisco, CA. building to four earthquakes and ambient motions, <i>in</i> Proceedings of the 16th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, Santiago, Chile, January 9-13, 2017, 12 p.","productDescription":"12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-073184","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":407472,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":407471,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.wcee.nicee.org/wcee/sixteenth_conf_Santiago/"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","city":"San Francisco","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.67608642578126,\n              37.568528265476075\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.28607177734376,\n              37.568528265476075\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.28607177734376,\n              37.90953361677018\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.67608642578126,\n              37.90953361677018\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.67608642578126,\n              37.568528265476075\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Celebi, Mehmet 0000-0002-4769-7357 celebi@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4769-7357","contributorId":200969,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Celebi","given":"Mehmet","email":"celebi@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":853117,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hooper, J.","contributorId":66872,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hooper","given":"J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":853151,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Klemencic, Ron","contributorId":146973,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Klemencic","given":"Ron","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":853152,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

We used data collected during Fall 2008 to 2014 by 16 NEXRAD and four terminal Doppler weather radars (TDWR) in the northeastern U.S. to map and study the spatial distribution of landbirds shortly after they leave daytime stopover sites to embark on nocturnal migratory flights. Given observed variability in the precise timing of migratory exodus, we developed a new method to sample the onset of migration at the point of maximum rate of increase in bird densities aloft to consistently sample exodus across radars and days.</p><p>The mean linear trend in aggregate stopover densities of migrants indicated a 4% decline per year from the 2008 baseline density (29% decline over the seven years). Regionally, coastal Virginia and Maine had the steepest declines. The steepest increases in migrant densities across years occurred within the Delmarva Peninsula and in coastal Connecticut.</p><p>We used NEXRAD observations to develop models to predict potentially important stopover sites throughout USFWS Region 5. Observed NEXRAD data were positively correlated to observations from TDWR and NASA’s S-Band Dual-Polarimetric Radar (NPOL), though not strongly. Predicted densities increased with increasing hardwood cover across multiple scales and with vegetation productivity. Contrastingly, predicted densities decreased with increasing agricultural, emergent marsh and coniferous land cover, but did not change with fraction of urban cover. Stopover density increased closer to bright areas and the Atlantic coast. Moreover, interactive effects indicated that migrants were more concentrated in forested areas that were both brightly lit and near the Atlantic coast. Large areas of predicted regionally important stopover sites were located along the coastlines of Maine, Long Island Sound, New Jersey, the lower Delmarva Peninsula, within the Adirondack Mountains, Catskill Mountains, and eastern Virginia.</p><p>We also created maps of classified stopover use during bimonthly periods and at multiple-scales. Migrant densities peaked along the Adirondack Mountains early in September, and along the Atlantic coast in late September with the passage of Neotropical migrants. Stopover densities peaked in the most northern extent of Maine and New England States in late October with the departure of temperate migrants.</p><p>Ground surveys conducted at 48 forested sites within the Delmarva Peninsula and Tidewater Virginia during Fall 2013 and 2014 revealed that nocturnal migrant densities pooled across species and for 14 individual species, after accounting for temporal phenology in their passage timing, were related to factors operating at multiple scales including food resources (primarily arthropod abundance in understory) and understory shrub density at a patch scale, and latitude and proximity to the Atlantic coast at a regional scale.</p><p>We integrated field survey and radar data to estimate relative stopover duration and to identify stopover functional types among 45 sites that included data from a past study near the Gulf of Mexico. We identified four functional types spanning the gradient of short rest stops to refueling stops with variable duration of stopover in relation to food abundance. The Mid-Atlantic sites were dominated by rest stops near coastal areas and lacked quick refueling stops due to low overall food abundance. The maps and ecological understanding produced can help inform conservation planning to protect and enhance stopover sites for migratory landbirds in the future.</p>","language":"English","usgsCitation":"Buler, J.J., McLaren, J., Schreckengost, T., Smolinsky, J.A., Walters, E., Arnold, J.A., and Dawson, D.K., 2017, Validation of NEXRAD data and models of bird migration stopover sites in the Northeast U.S., viii, 112 p.","productDescription":"viii, 112 p.","ipdsId":"IP-081122","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":361147,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":361129,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://lccnetwork.org/resource/final-report-validation-nexrad-data-and-models-bird-migration-stopover-sites-northeast-us"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":10,"text":"Baltimore PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Buler, Jeffrey J.","contributorId":194648,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Buler","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":756915,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"McLaren, James","contributorId":213085,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McLaren","given":"James","affiliations":[{"id":13359,"text":"University of Delaware","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":756916,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schreckengost, Timothy","contributorId":213086,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schreckengost","given":"Timothy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13359,"text":"University of Delaware","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":756917,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Smolinsky, Jaclyn A.","contributorId":202723,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smolinsky","given":"Jaclyn","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":13359,"text":"University of Delaware","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":756918,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Walters, Eric","contributorId":213087,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Walters","given":"Eric","affiliations":[{"id":36518,"text":"Old Dominion University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":756919,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Arnold, J.

However, the factors that define desert wilderness—small human population, temperature differentials that create unrelenting winds, low rainfall, and cloudless skies—are attractive for renewable energy development. The demand for clean, renewable energy is a national and regional priority and has increased demand for large-scale solar and wind farms in the deserts, particularly in California. The need to balance these national and state energy priorities with existing natural resource and land conservation policies has emerged as a landscape-scale land-use planning initiative known as the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP). One of the primary goals for the DRECP was to establish Development Focus Areas (DFAs) where high-quality renewable energy potential of up to 20 gigawatts (GW) could be implemented by the year 2040. DFAs were designed to provide expedited project approvals in locations where environmental impacts could be managed and mitigated, and proximity to transmission corridors provides for the efficient dissemination of energy to users. The DRECP also aims to identify protections for natural resources, recreation, and cultural resources. This plan identifies 37 covered species that receive special consideration in the DRECP. Among the special considerations are climate adaptation requirements, such as the ability to maintain population connectivity through wildlife corridors, while protecting several special recreation areas and 32,000 known cultural sites that are dispersed throughout the region. \nWe evaluated several particular aspects of the DRECP design and process. In particular, we examined land designations in relation to published studies on Mohave ground squirrel (Xerospermophilus mohavensis) habitat and genetic diversity patterns of a suite of broadly distributed desert animal species. The squirrel and its habitat are of particular interest because the entire range of the squirrel is encompassed by the DRECP. We describe the framework of the DRECP, provide a case study of how the DRECP accommodates the needs of the Mohave ground squirrel and its habitat, illustrate DFAs in relation to the genetic diversity of a broad range of terrestrial biota, and conclude with some observations on how land-use issues were resolved across the landscape under various scenarios.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Transactions of the 82nd North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"82nd North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference","conferenceDate":"March 5-10, 2017","conferenceLocation":"Spokane, WA","language":"English","publisher":"Wildlife Management Institute","usgsCitation":"Esque, T., Fesnock-Parker, A., Croft, B., Chen, F., and Vandergast, A.G., 2017, Using science to inform management and improve biological conservation in the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, <i>in</i> Transactions of the 82nd North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference, Spokane, WA, March 5-10, 2017.","ipdsId":"IP-085853","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359575,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":359212,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://wildlifemanagement.institute/store/product/69"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5bf3d9f3e4b045bfcae0c9bf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Esque, Todd 0000-0002-4166-6234 tesque@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4166-6234","contributorId":195896,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Esque","given":"Todd","email":"tesque@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":750793,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fesnock-Parker, Amy","contributorId":140129,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fesnock-Parker","given":"Amy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":7217,"text":"Bureau of Land Management","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":true,"id":750794,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Croft, Brian","contributorId":210468,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Croft","given":"Brian","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":38112,"text":"USFWS, Palm Springs Fish and Wildlife Office","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":750795,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Chen, Felicia 0000-0002-7408-5946","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7408-5946","contributorId":210469,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chen","given":"Felicia","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":750796,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Vandergast, Amy G. 0000-0002-7835-6571 avandergast@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7835-6571","contributorId":3963,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vandergast","given":"Amy","email":"avandergast@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":750797,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Additional samples were collected from tortoises on the northern bajadas of the Orocopia Mountains and from the Santa Rosa Mountains and those results will be presented at a later time in a scientific publication. We tested samples for their mtDNA haplotype and 25 STR loci previously used in other studies. We performed assignment testing to determine the genetic affinity of each individual to the geographic region of collection.

In the deep sea, food webs rely on particulate flux raining from surface waters for energy (Klages et al. 2003), except for chemosynthetic communities, which rely on in situ production via chemosynthesis (Van Dover 2007). In general, the deep sea is a food limited environment because only a small percentage of organic carbon produced in surface waters settles to the seafloor (Gage and Tyler 1991, Klages et al. 2003, De La Rocha and Passow 2007). In contrast, relative to more quiescent slope environments, canyons can experience dynamic flow and turbulence. Internal tides can enhance turbulent mixing near the canyon seafloor leading to resuspension of sediments. Channeling of organic matter in deepsea canyons can enhance benthic productivity leading to high biodiversity (Vetter and Dayton 1998, 1999) and trophic complexity (Stefanescu et al. 1994, Cartes and Sorbe 1999). Thus, there may be a decoupling between the benthic-productivity relationships in canyon environments where food limitation may not be a driving factor influencing community structure. However, there have been only a few studies, often limited in depth range and spatial scale, that have examined the trophic pathways of deepsea canyons relative to adjacent slope environments (Duineveld et al. 2001, Fanelli et al. 2009, Cartes et al. 2010, Jeffreys et al. 2011).</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Exploration and Research of Mid-Atlantic Deepwater Hard Bottom Habitats and Shipwrecks with Emphasis on Canyons and Coral Communities: Atlantic Deepwater Canyons Study","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":1,"text":"Federal Government Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Atlantic OCS Region","usgsCitation":"Demopoulos, A.W., McClain-Counts, J.P., Ross, S., Brooke, S., and Rhode, M., 2017, Food-web structure in canyon and slope-associated fauna revealed by stable isotopes: OCS Study BOEM 2017-060, v. 1, 76 p.","productDescription":"76 p.","startPage":"785","endPage":"860","ipdsId":"IP-090158","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":359518,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":359016,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://www.boem.gov/espis/5/5655.pdf"}],"volume":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":5,"text":"Lafayette PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5befe5bde4b045bfcadf7f4c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Demopoulos, Amanda W.

Here, we describe an intensive capture–mark–recapture study of&nbsp;</span><i>L. getula</i><span>&nbsp;conducted during 1974–1978 in a canal bank–Water Hyacinth (</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">Eichhornia crassipes</span></i><span>) community at Rainey Slough in southern Florida, where annual capture probabilities of adults ranged from 0.662–0.787. Population size and structure, seasonal activity, movements, microhabitat use, behavior, thermal ecology, and predator–prey relationships are described. At this site kingsnakes were susceptible to capture mostly in winter and spring, were diurnal, used rodent (</span><i><span class=\"genus-species\">Sigmodon hispidus</span></i><span>) burrows on canal banks as nocturnal retreats, and emerged from burrows on 13–26% of the sampling days. Overlap of burrow use by both sexes was extensive with no evidence of territoriality. Kingsnakes readily entered the Water Hyacinths to bask, pursue mates, and forage. At Rainey Slough only snakes were detected in the diet of kingsnakes. Concurrent sampling of potential snake prey in the hyacinths and on canal banks revealed 10 species that varied in use of the two sampled habitats and in body size. A range-wide analysis confirmed that in descending order snakes, reptile eggs, and lizards dominate the diet of&nbsp;</span><i>L. getula</i><span>&nbsp;in Florida (94.8%) and remain important prey types elsewhere (80.2%). At Rainey Slough the density of six species of semiaquatic snakes in Water Hyacinths averaged 3534 individuals/ha with a mean annual biomass of 135.8 kg/ha, and kingsnake biomass was only 2.2–3.9% of prey snake biomass. We estimated that the kingsnake population consumed 36.82–63.58 kg/yr, or about 10.0–17.2% of the standing crop of snakes in the Water Hyacinth community. Adult male&nbsp;</span><i>L. getula</i><span>&nbsp;lost on average 39.3% of their body mass associated with the spring reproductive season, whereas females lost only 3.4% in the same period. Body condition indices for both sexes improved substantially thereafter. In follow-up surveys at Rainey Slough during 2006–2010 no kingsnakes were found. Semiaquatic snake densities in the Water Hyacinths were 77.2% lower (807.4/ha) than in the 1970s and consisted of only three species. Compared to the enigmatic declines and extirpation of&nbsp;</span><i>L. getula</i><span>&nbsp;populations elsewhere, at Rainey Slough the primary cause likely was unsustainable mortality from road reconstruction and paving in the winter–spring of 1979 and subsequent roadkill.

Mastication treatments significantly reduced the height and cover of woody vegetation and increased herbaceous cover and diversity. Non-native cover, density, and diversity were also significantly higher in masticated treatments. Comparisons with post-fire data from two studies showed that certain ephemeral post-fire endemics were absent or of limited occurrence from masticated plots in comparison to their abundance on adjacent burned plots. Structurally, masticated sites differed in the dense woody debris cover, whereas burned sites had little such ground cover. Regional comparison of masticated plots to previously published post-fire studies found that burned sites had greater cover, density, and diversity of native species. However, masticated sites and burned sites were broadly similar in distribution of different growth forms.

Climate models predict dramatic extinctions and distributional shifts in the next century, but there are few ground-truths of these dire forecasts leading to uncertainty in predicting extinctions due to climate change. Previously, we reported on recent extinctions of Mexican Sceloporus lizards by comparing recent surveys to historical distributional records for 48 species at 200 sites. We also ground-truthed extinctions on five continents across 8 lizard families by comparing observed and predicted extinctions from an eco-physiological species distribution model and obtained a high R 2 of 0.72 (1, 2). Here, we derive more detailed predictions for 15 terrestrial reptile families and 142 species for the Mexican and California Biogeographic provinces using all known museum occurrence records, and detailed measures on eco-physiology. We adopt the eco-physiological model of extinction developed earlier but use a species-specific model. We predict massive and rapid extinctions of 22% of the reptile populations in Mexico within the next 50 years. We also predict that 3 of 15 reptile families, all three endemic to the Mexican and Californian biogeographic provinces, will go extinct by 2070, the hallmark of the beginnings of a mass extinction event. However, extinctions may be attenuated by forest cover and by presence of montane environments in contemporary ranges. We describe impacts of altitude on three species (Gopherus morafkai, G. evgoodei, and Gambelia sila) to illustrate regional management strategies (AZ-Mexico, Sinoloa, CA) for reserves in tandem with global strategies of CO2 limits that might limit climate impacts. By carefully selecting new montane preserves adjacent to desert and tropical forest habitats, and by implementing global controls on atmospheric CO2 emissions, extinctions may be reduced to less than 11% of species and only a single reptile family.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of California Mexico Initiative","usgsCitation":"Sinervo, B., Miles, D.B., Lara Resendiz, R.A., Lovich, J.E., Ennen, J.R., Muller, J., Cooper, R.D., Rosen, P.C., Stewart, J.A., Santos, J.C., Sites, J.W., Gibbons, P., Goode, E., Hillard, L.S., Welton, L., Agha, M., Caetano, G., Vaughn, M., Melendez Torres, C., Gadsden, H., Castenada Gaytan, G., Galina-Tessaro, P., Valle Jimenez, F.I., Valdez-Villavicencio, J.H., Martinez Mendez, N., Woolrich Pina, G., Luja Molina, V., Diaz de la Vega Perez, A., Arenas Moreno, D.M., Dominguez Guerrero, S., Fierro, N., Butterfield, S., Westpha, M., Huey, R.B., Mautz, W., Sánchez-Cordero, V., and Mendez de la Cruz, F.R., 2017, Climate change and collapsing thermal niches of Mexican endemic reptiles, 21 p.","productDescription":"21 p.","ipdsId":"IP-090219","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":360623,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":360587,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4xk077hp"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5c1cb860e4b0708288c83836","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sinervo, Barry","contributorId":139508,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sinervo","given":"Barry","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":12781,"text":"Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA. lizardrps@gmail.com","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":754754,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Miles, Donald B.","contributorId":211745,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Miles","given":"Donald","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":754770,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lara Resendiz, Rafael A.","contributorId":211744,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lara Resendiz","given":"Rafael","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":754769,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lovich, Jeffrey E. 0000-0002-7789-2831 jeffrey_lovich@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7789-2831","contributorId":458,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lovich","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jeffrey_lovich@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":754771,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ennen, Joshua R.","contributorId":83858,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ennen","given":"Joshua","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":754772,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Muller, Johannes","contributorId":211746,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Muller","given":"Johannes","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":754773,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Cooper, Robert D.","contributorId":211747,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cooper","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":754774,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Rosen, Philip C.","contributorId":70311,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosen","given":"Philip","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":754775,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Stewart, Joseph A.

Specifically, this report provides an assessment of the most recent monitoring information and its implications for the harvest management strategy. </p><p>The development of an adaptive harvest management (AHM) strategy requires specification of four elements: (a) a set of alternative population models, which bound the uncertainty about effects of harvest and other relevant environmental factors; (b) a set of probabilities (or weights) describing the relative credibility of the alternative models, which are updated each year based on a comparison of model predictions and monitoring information; (c) a set of alternative harvest quotas from which to choose; and (d) a management objective function, by which alternative harvest strategies can be evaluated and a mathematically optimal strategy identified. </p><p>By combining varying hypotheses about survival and reproduction, a suite of nine models were developed. Those models represent a wide range of possibilities concerning the extent to which demographic rates are density dependent, and the extent to which spring temperatures influence survival and reproduction. Five of the models incorporate density-dependent mechanisms that would maintain the population near a carrying capacity (i.e., in the absence of harvest) of 65,000 – 129,000 depending on the specific model. The remaining four models are density independent and predict an exponentially growing population even with moderate levels of harvest. </p><p>The most current set of monitoring information was used to update model weights for the period 1991 – 2016. Current model weights suggest little evidence for density-dependent survival and reproduction. These results suggest that the pink-footed goose population may have recently experienced a release from density-dependent mechanisms, corresponding to the period of most rapid growth in population size. There is equivocal evidence for the effect of May temperature days in Svalbard (number of days with temperatures above freezing) on survival and reproduction. </p><p>Beginning with the 2016 hunting season, harvest quotas are chosen on an annual basis rather than every three years because of the potential to better meet management objectives. The optimal harvest strategy, however, remains “knife-edged,” meaning that small changes in resource status can precipitate large changes in the annual harvest quota. This potential outcome is likely to be of concern to hunters, and we are investigating ways in which large swings in harvest quotas might be dampened. Based on updated model probabilities, the recent observations of record-high population size (88,000), the aboveaverage proportion of the population comprised of one-year-old birds (0.196), and temperature days in Svalbard (4), the suggested harvest quota for the 2017 hunting season is 36,000. Last year the quota was 25,000, yet a harvest of only 16,143 was realized. We are increasingly concerned that with the return of average spring temperatures in Svalbard, the population will continue to grow beyond managers’ ability to control it, as is the case with many goose populations in Europe and North America.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"AEWA European Goose Management Platform","usgsCitation":"2017, Adaptive harvest management for the Svalbard population of pink-footed geese (Anser brachyrhynchus): EGMP Technical Report 5, 20 p.","productDescription":"20 p.","ipdsId":"IP-087735","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":357224,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":357099,"rank":1,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://egmp.aewa.info/sites/default/files/download/population_status_reports/EGMP_005_Pink-footed%20Goose%20AHM%20Report%202017.pdf"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":5,"text":"Lafayette PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5b98a4b4e4b0702d0e84308d","contributors":{"compilers":[{"text":"Madsen, Jesper","contributorId":178168,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Madsen","given":"Jesper","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":744732,"contributorType":{"id":3,"text":"Compilers"},"rank":1},{"text":"Johnson, Fred A. 0000-0002-5854-3695 fjohnson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5854-3695","contributorId":2773,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Fred","email":"fjohnson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":566,"text":"Southeast Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":744733,"contributorType":{"id":3,"text":"Compilers"},"rank":2}]}}

Its production can be reported as crude ore, usable ore or iron content of ore. Historically, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) used reported crude ore production from China in tabulations of world iron ore production while other countries have typically reported their production in terms of usable iron ore. When China’s crude ore production was tabulated with usable ore production from other countries, world iron ore production totals have been overestimated by 10 percent to a high of 32 percent (Figs. 1, 2). The significant increase in iron ore production in China from 2000 through 2015 amplified the overestimation resulting from tabulating inconsistent forms of the material. Sources of data for usable iron ore production in China, beginning in 2000, have become available. This article documents the revision of world iron ore production totals and augments historical China iron ore production figures to show both crude and usable ore values.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Mining, Metallurgy, & Exploration","usgsCitation":"Tuck, C.C., Xun, S., and Singerling, S.A., 2017, USGS revision of global iron ore

TUSK is home to extensive and stratigraphically complex groundwater discharge (GWD) deposits, called the Las Vegas Formation, which represent springs and desert wetlands that covered much of the valley during the late Quaternary. The GWD deposits record hydrologic changes that occurred here in a dynamic and temporally congruent response to abrupt climatic oscillations over the last ~300 ka (thousands of years). The deposits also entomb the Tule Springs Local Fauna (TSLF), one of the most significant late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) vertebrate assemblages in the American Southwest. The TSLF is both prolific and diverse, and includes a large mammal assemblage dominated by&nbsp;</span><i>Mammuthus columbi</i><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><i>Camelops hesternus.</i><span>&nbsp;Two and possibly three distinct species of&nbsp;</span><i>Equus,</i><span>&nbsp;two species of&nbsp;</span><i>Bison, Panthera atrox, Smilodon fatalis, Canis dirus, Megalonyx jeffersonii,</i><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><i>Nothrotheriops shastensis</i><span>&nbsp;are also present, and newly recognized faunal components include micromammals, amphibians, snakes, and birds. Invertebrates, plant macrofossils, and pollen also occur in the deposits and provide important and complementary paleoenvironmental information. This field compendium highlights some of the classic stratigraphic sequences of the Las Vegas Formation within TUSK, emphasizes the significant hydrologic changes that occurred in the area during the recent geologic past, and examines the subsequent and repeated effect of rapid climate change on the local desert wetland ecosystem.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Field excursions in Southern California: Field guides to the 2016 Geological Society of American cordilleran section meeting","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America ","doi":"10.1130/2017.0045(01)","isbn":"9780813756455","usgsCitation":"Springer, K.B., Pigati, J., and Eric Scott, 2017, Geology and vertebrate paleontology of Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, Nevada, USA, chap. <i>of</i> Field excursions in Southern California: Field guides to the 2016 Geological Society of American cordilleran section meeting, v. 45, p. 1-30, https://doi.org/10.1130/2017.0045(01).","productDescription":"30 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"30","ipdsId":"IP-077008","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":360946,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Nevada ","otherGeospatial":"Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument ","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -115.42167663574217,\n              36.25313319699069\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.02891540527344,\n              36.25313319699069\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.02891540527344,\n              36.4223874864237\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.42167663574217,\n              36.4223874864237\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.42167663574217,\n              36.25313319699069\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"45","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Springer, Kathleen B. 0000-0002-2404-0264 kspringer@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2404-0264","contributorId":149826,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Springer","given":"Kathleen","email":"kspringer@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":708147,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Pigati, Jeffrey S. 0000-0001-5843-6219 jpigati@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5843-6219","contributorId":149825,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pigati","given":"Jeffrey S.","email":"jpigati@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":708148,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Eric Scott","contributorId":195776,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Eric Scott","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":708149,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Specifically, this practice can reduce soil erosion and water quality impairment from pesticides and fertilizer, improve ecosystem services and sustainability (e.g., serve as carbon sinks), and minimize impacts on global food supplies. The main goal of this study was to identify high-risk marginal croplands that are potentially suitable for growing cellulosic feedstock crops (e.g., switchgrass) in the US Great Plains (GP). Satellite-derived growing season Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, a switchgrass biomass productivity map obtained from a previous study, US Geological Survey (USGS) irrigation and crop masks, and US Department of Agriculture (USDA) crop indemnity maps for the GP were used in this study. Our hypothesis was that croplands with relatively low crop yield but high productivity potential for switchgrass may be suitable for converting to switchgrass. Areas with relatively low crop indemnity (crop indemnity &lt;$2&nbsp;157&nbsp;068) were excluded from the suitable areas based on low probability of crop failures. Results show that approximately 650&nbsp;000&nbsp;ha of marginal croplands in the GP are potentially suitable for switchgrass development. The total estimated switchgrass biomass productivity gain from these suitable areas is about 5.9 million metric tons. Switchgrass can be cultivated in either lowland or upland regions in the GP depending on the local soil and environmental conditions. This study improves our understanding of ecosystem services and the sustainability of cropland systems in the GP. Results from this study provide useful information to land managers for making informed decisions regarding switchgrass development in the GP.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/gcbb.12388","usgsCitation":"Gu, Y., and Wylie, B.K., 2017, Mapping marginal croplands suitable for cellulosic feedstock crops in the

In this work, the two lakes as well as springs and rivers that represent their potential source waters are characterized physio-chemically and isotopically, using a combination of environmental tracers. Temperature and pH were measured and water samples were analyzed for alkalinity, major ion concentration, and stable isotope (δ2H, δ18O, δ13C of dissolved inorganic carbon, and δ34S and δ18O of sulfate) composition. Chemical data were also investigated in terms of local meteorological data (air temperature, precipitation) to determine the sensitivity of lake parameters to changes in the surrounding environment. Groundwater represented by samples taken from Santa Susanna Spring was shown to be distinct with SO42- and Mg2+ content of 270 and 29 mg/L, respectively, and heavy sulfate isotopic composition(δ34S=15.2 ‰ and δ18O=10‰). Outflow from the Santa Susanna Spring enters Lake Ripasottile via a canal and both spring and lake water exhibits the same chemical distinctions and comparatively low seasonal variability. Major ion concentrations in Lake Lungo are similar to the Vicenna Riara Spring and are interpreted to represent the groundwater locally recharged within the plain. The δ13CDIC exhibit the same groupings as the other chemical parameters, providing supporting evidence of the source relationships. Lake Lungo exhibited exceptional ranges of δ13CDIC (±5 ‰) and δ2H, δ18O (±5 ‰ and ±7 ‰, respectively), attributed to sensitivity to seasonal changes. The hydrochemistry results, particularly major ion data, highlight how the two lakes, though geographically and morphologically similar, represent distinct hydrochemical facies. These data also show a different response in each lake to temperature and precipitation patterns in the basin that may be attributed to lake water retention time. The sensitivity of each lake to meteorological patterns can be used to understand the potential effects from long-term climate variability.","language":"English","publisher":"PAGEPress Scientific Publications","publisherLocation":"Pavia, Italy","doi":"10.4081/jlimnol.2016.1576","usgsCitation":"Archer, C., Noble, P., Kreamer, D., Piscopo, V., Petitta, M., Rosen, M.R., Poulson, S.R., Piovesan, G., and Mensing, S., 2017, Hydrochemical determination of source water contributions to Lake Lungo and Lake Ripasottile (central Italy): Journal of Limnology, v. 76, no. 2, p. 326-342, https://doi.org/10.4081/jlimnol.2016.1576.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"326","endPage":"342","ipdsId":"IP-079585","costCenters":[{"id":509,"text":"Office of the Associate Director for Water","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":470178,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.4081/jlimnol.2016.1576","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":348621,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Italy","otherGeospatial":"Lake Lungo, Lake Ripasottile","volume":"76","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-12-21","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a096bb1e4b09af898c94149","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Archer, Claire","contributorId":198952,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Archer","given":"Claire","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":33648,"text":"Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering, University of Nevada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":717688,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Noble, Paula","contributorId":198953,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Noble","given":"Paula","affiliations":[{"id":33648,"text":"Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering, University of Nevada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":717689,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kreamer, David","contributorId":198954,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kreamer","given":"David","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":30777,"text":"Department of Geoscience, University of Nevada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":717690,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Piscopo, Vincenzo","contributorId":198955,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Piscopo","given":"Vincenzo","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":35390,"text":"Tuscia University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":717691,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Petitta, Marco","contributorId":198956,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Petitta","given":"Marco","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":35391,"text":"Sapienza University of Rome","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":717692,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Rosen, Michael R. 0000-0003-3991-0522 mrosen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3991-0522","contributorId":495,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosen","given":"Michael","email":"mrosen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717687,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Poulson, Simon R.","contributorId":187411,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Poulson","given":"Simon","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":33648,"text":"Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering, University of Nevada","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":717693,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Piovesan, Gianluca","contributorId":198957,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Piovesan","given":"Gianluca","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":35390,"text":"Tuscia University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":717694,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Mensing, Scott","contributorId":198958,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mensing","given":"Scott","affiliations":[{"id":33212,"text":"Department of Geography, University of NV","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":717695,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}
