Þingmúli is a ~ 9.5 Ma extinct central volcano located in the East Fjords of Iceland, in which the whole compositional spectrum from basalt to rhyolites have erupted. These volcanic products have been previously considered as petrogenetically related by an ideal fractionation trend, regardless any temporal relationship or volumetric considerations.</span></p><p><span>Here we report new whole-rock geochemistry, mineral chemistry, isotope analyses, estimation of residence times of the different eruptive deposits, and an update of the original petrogenetic model. Our results highlight that an enriched source, likely spinel lherzolites, generated transitional-alkaline basaltic melts after 15–20% of partial melting at depths of 40–45 km. Many of these basaltic melts erupted at various stages of the volcano's history, while others remained longer in the volcanic plumbing system. These evolved by fractional crystallisation into basaltic andesite magmas with a residence time of ~5 years based on the crystal size distribution of the plagioclase population. Isotopic differences between the basalts/basaltic andesites (<sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr ~ 0.7034;&nbsp;<sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd ~ 0.51315) and the erupted rhyolites (<sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr ~ 0.7037;&nbsp;<sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd ~ 0.51304) indicate that the latter are not petrogenetically related to the former. Therefore, instead of a fractional crystallisation mechanism to generate the rhyolites, we propose the partial melting of ignimbrite layers located beneath the volcano. The broad range of trace element concentrations in andesites and dacites and their different isotopic values compared to the basalts strongly suggest that these magmas have been generated by magma mixing between basaltic and rhyolitic melts, similar to modern day Icelandic volcanoes such as Hekla. These results highlight the need to revisit previously studied Icelandic classic localities and reassess their traditionally proposed petrogenetic models.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2026.108561","usgsCitation":"Hughes, A., Cortès, J.A., McGarvie, D., Moscati, R.J., and Olive, V., 2026, The petrogenesis of Þingmúli volcano, East Fjords, Iceland: Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, v. 472, 108561, 64 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2026.108561.","productDescription":"108561, 64 p.","ipdsId":"IP-182556","costCenters":[{"id":35995,"text":"Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":499746,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":502210,"rank":2,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P13NQWAA","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"Iceland","otherGeospatial":"Þingmúli volcano, East Fjords","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -23.540028058288044,\n              66.59258513859314\n            ],\n            [\n              -25.126290149179766,\n              65.22506991722106\n            ],\n            [\n              -22.087340842076145,\n              63.19806647357345\n            ],\n            [\n              -13.158892284515474,\n              63.28606024776602\n            ],\n            [\n              -13.158892284515474,\n              66.7304685435675\n            ],\n            [\n              -23.540028058288044,\n              66.59258513859314\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"472","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hughes, Amanda L. 0000-0003-2481-444X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2481-444X","contributorId":346354,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hughes","given":"Amanda L.","affiliations":[{"id":82839,"text":"Edge Hill University, UK","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955407,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cortès, Joaquín A. 0000-0003-0062-6954","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0062-6954","contributorId":366198,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cortès","given":"Joaquín","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":87379,"text":"Edge Hill Univ","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955408,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McGarvie, Dave","contributorId":366200,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McGarvie","given":"Dave","affiliations":[{"id":87380,"text":"Lancaster Univ","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955409,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Moscati, Richard J. 0000-0002-0818-4401 rmoscati@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0818-4401","contributorId":2462,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Moscati","given":"Richard","email":"rmoscati@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955410,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Olive, Valerie 0000-0002-3905-2946","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3905-2946","contributorId":366201,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Olive","given":"Valerie","affiliations":[{"id":87381,"text":"Univ of Glasgow","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955411,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Effective communication is critical for promoting coexistence, yet on-the-ground conservation messaging seldom links to behavior change theories. We conducted 23 semistructured interviews with practitioners to examine the approaches they used to communicate with private landowners about beaver coexistence in Oregon (USA). Although we did not set out to interview practitioners about their messages targeting capability, opportunity, and motivation (elements of the COM-B model of behavior), we used the COM-B model to synthesize the primary dimensions of practitioners’ complex, real-world communication about human–wildlife coexistence. We found that practitioners used multiple communication channels to listen for and respond to landowners’ capability, opportunity, and motivation. They tailored messages to affirm and enhance knowledge and skills, identify and address site-specific and social contexts, and align beaver impacts with landowner goals. Our findings suggest the COM-B model can go beyond guiding audience analysis and behavioral intervention design to help practitioners tailor real-time communication with landowners about coexistence behavior. The model, based on our use of COM-B to analyze existing communication, could be used to provide practitioners with techniques for making sense of their existing communication efforts, for identifying gaps, and for dynamically tailoring their communication.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Conservation Biology","doi":"10.1111/cobi.70210","usgsCitation":"Erickson,

Accordingly, questions pertaining to WT end-of-life have risen in importance in policy and practice. Yet, research on the various factors relating to WT decommissioning is relatively sparse. Moreover, the key assumptions underpinning that prior research (e.g., the lifespan of WTs, characteristics of WTs being decommissioned, and whether the site is repowered with new WTs) have never been empirically tested across a large set of decommissioned WTs. Leveraging a uniquely comprehensive and spatially explicit dataset of decommissioned WTs in the United States, this research analyzes spatial, technological, and temporal trends in WT decommissioning and develops a novel predictive model for WT decommissioning. Our analysis pinpoints more than 12,400 WTs that have been fully decommissioned in the United States., the majority of which have been relatively old (&gt; 30 years) and small (&lt; 200 kW). While a WT's age alone is a good predictor of the likelihood of decommissioning, other factors such as the size of the WT and recent performance are also important and significant predictors. Most sites where decommissioning has occurred have seen subsequent repowering, with repowered plants featuring substantially fewer WTs (−86 on average) and higher rated plant capacity (+62 MW on average).

In western North America, a multidecadal drought is reducing water availability and increasing the use of detailed water budgets. Questions related to both removal of vegetation for water salvage and budgeting water to maintain valuable riparian areas have led to a wealth of studies on riparian plant water use across dryland river systems in North America. Towards evaluating broad patterns in riparian plant water use, we synthesise results from over two decades of research, with the goal of informing water management policies and planning. This study asks: (1) Do some riparian plant communities exhibit lower plant water use than others? (2) Do riparian plant communities have higher water use under hotter climates? (3) Can statistical models based on existing data, plant communities and climate data be used to predict water use for unmeasured locations? Using hierarchical Bayesian models to synthesise data on annual and daily-scale plant water use, we show that marshes, cottonwood-willow stands and tamarisk not impacted by biocontrol use larger amounts of water at the annual scale than other vegetation communities. All plant communities have higher annual water use in hotter climates, which is likely related to a longer growing season and higher evaporative demand. Statistical models based on existing water-use data, plant communities and climate provide bounds on plant water use that can be applied to unmeasured locations and used to evaluate the effects of plant community change on water use. This synthesis produces the most complete summary of riparian plant water use in North American drylands to date and provides water use predictions across different climate and community scenarios that can be used for current and future conditions.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/hyp.70408","usgsCitation":"Palmquist, E.C., Nagler, P., Ogle, K., DiMartini, C., Kennedy, J.R., and Sankey, J., 2026, James Buttle Review: A synthesis of riparian plant water use over two decades in North American drylands: Hydrological Processes, v. 40, no. 2, e70408, 19 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.70408.","productDescription":"e70408, 19 p.","ipdsId":"IP-180955","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":499673,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Mexico, United States","state":"Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"western Pacific Coastal Plain, western Sierra Madre Piedmont","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -121.30356692213257,\n              42.70636820692536\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.30356692213257,\n              26.163421921669297\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.74141493477907,\n              26.163421921669297\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.74141493477907,\n              42.70636820692536\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.30356692213257,\n              42.70636820692536\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"40","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Palmquist, Emily C. 0000-0003-1069-2154 epalmquist@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1069-2154","contributorId":5669,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Palmquist","given":"Emily","email":"epalmquist@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955301,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Nagler, Pamela L. 0000-0003-0674-103X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0674-103X","contributorId":363777,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nagler","given":"Pamela","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":955302,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ogle, Kiona","contributorId":360747,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ogle","given":"Kiona","affiliations":[{"id":86099,"text":"School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ, 86011, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955303,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"DiMartini, Claudia 0009-0001-2457-0513","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0001-2457-0513","contributorId":356930,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"DiMartini","given":"Claudia","affiliations":[{"id":85285,"text":"formerly: US Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center, Flagstaff, AZ","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955304,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kennedy, Jeffrey R. 0000-0002-3365-6589 jkennedy@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3365-6589","contributorId":176478,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kennedy","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jkennedy@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":955305,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Sankey, Joel B. 0000-0003-3150-4992","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3150-4992","contributorId":261248,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sankey","given":"Joel B.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":955306,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Concerns of warming freshwater temperatures in their northern range gained urgency during 2019 when a heatwave coincided with premature mortality. This study examined heat stress during the 2019 heatwave compared to subsequent years and described water temperatures in western Alaska to understand the degree to which freshwater temperatures may be a stressor. Heat stress was prevalent among Chinook salmon captured in the 2019 heatwave (Kuskokwim tributaries: 90% in Kwethluk and 63% Takotna river), and variable in subsequent years (∼8% to 60% across Kuskokwim tributaries and Norton Sound rivers). A review of water temperature data indicated that potentially stressful temperatures (≥18&nbsp;°C) were most common and prolonged in the Yukon River, moderately common and prolonged in the Kuskokwim River, and relatively rare in the Norton Sound region. Water temperatures in 2019 broke several records for overall maximum and frequency of temperatures&nbsp;≥&nbsp;18&nbsp;°C. Migration water temperatures and heat stress in northern Pacific salmon habitats vary more widely than previously recognized (up to 25&nbsp;°C).</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Canadian

We develop an ensemble-based history matching (and uncertainty quantification) approach using an iterative ensemble smoother (iES) method for three cutouts of the National Hydrologic Model (NHM) and qualitatively compare the results and performance to the stepwise history matching approach. In the latter approach, subsets of parameters and observations were sequentially calibrated to a diverse range of observations to mitigate non-uniqueness and local minima. In iES, localization simulates the same causal connections between parameters and observations without the need (and computational cost) of sequential history matching steps. iES uses a weighted sum-of-squared-errors objective function which allows differential weighting of multiple data sources. Formal adoption of range observation also pushes results to within ranges of observation values rather than discrete values. Overall, the ensemble approach performs similarly to the stepwise approach. Both approaches performed poorly for the cutout representing a snowmelt-dominated watershed, indicating a structural issue in the process representation of the model. The main advantage of iES is quantification of uncertainty in both the history matching and the predictions of interest.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/1752-1688.70086","usgsCitation":"Fienen, M., Long, A.J., Markovich, K.H., Haj, A.E., and Barker, M., 2026, Ensemble

The earthquake was a consequence of both short‐ and long‐term stress buildup due to magmatic activity associated with the eruption and steady flank motion, respectively, and it revealed features of Kīlauea’s décollement fault that can inform understanding of future earthquake activity. We used geodetic data to determine the distributions of slip during the coseismic and postseismic periods and compared these with areas of known fault slip during past earthquakes and slow‐slip events (SSEs). The 2018 earthquake ruptured into an area of the décollement fault that was active during quasi‐regular SSEs that occurred in the two decades prior to 2018 but that have not been observed since. The coseismic slip model indicates that the amount of motion on the décollement fault was several times greater than what typically occurred during SSEs, suggesting that it may take decades for the fault to rebuild stress to the point at which SSEs will occur again. Postseismic afterslip also occurred in an area of the fault known to experience slow slip; however, unlike at other creeping faults, postseismic afterslip was rapid, being largely over within 2–3&nbsp;days. The rapid nature and small magnitude of the postseismic afterslip may be due to the lack of a viscoelastic relaxation component, which is possibly a result of the shallow dip of the décollement fault not transferring stress efficiently into the lower crust.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/0120240222","usgsCitation":"Johanson, I.A., Montgomery-Brown, E.K., and Poland, M., 2026, Rupture into slow-slip fault regime during the 2018 Mw 6.9 Island of Hawaiʻi earthquake is followed by modest postseismic slip: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, v. 113, no. 3, p. 1023-1035, https://doi.org/10.1785/0120240222.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"1023","endPage":"1035","ipdsId":"IP-169927","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":503676,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawaii","otherGeospatial":"island of Hawaii","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -156.17989695699225,\n              19.908375170783174\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.7062809263427,\n              19.908375170783174\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.7062809263427,\n              18.965995638681747\n            ],\n            [\n              -156.17989695699225,\n              18.965995638681747\n            ],\n            [\n              -156.17989695699225,\n              19.908375170783174\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"113","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-02-03","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Johanson, Ingrid A. 0000-0002-6049-2225","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6049-2225","contributorId":215613,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johanson","given":"Ingrid","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":960624,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Montgomery-Brown, Emily K. 0000-0001-6787-2055","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6787-2055","contributorId":214074,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Montgomery-Brown","given":"Emily","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":960625,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Poland, Michael 0000-0001-5240-6123","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5240-6123","contributorId":49920,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Poland","given":"Michael","affiliations":[{"id":336,"text":"Hawaiian Volcano Observatory","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":960626,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

This study focuses on the role of evapotranspiration (ET) in regulating water balances of small watersheds in the eastern United States. We compared streamflow and ET patterns at daily, monthly and annual scales and linked these hydrological variables to the physical properties of 11 paired watersheds dominated by forests (FW) or urban (UW) land covers. The annual precipitation ranged from 1028&nbsp;mm to 1683&nbsp;mm and potential ET (PET) from 815 mm to 1450&nbsp;mm. The mean annual flow/precipitation (Q/P) ratios were 0.26&nbsp;±&nbsp;0.13 and 0.41&nbsp;±&nbsp;0.1 for FW and UW, respectively. Overall, UW had lower annual ET (772&nbsp;mm in UW vs. 947&nbsp;mm in FW), but higher mean annual and (∼58% higher), monthly water yield (17%–186% higher), and peakflow rates (up to 100 times higher) than FW. The streamflow differences between FW and UW were most pronounced during the growing season and early winter (June-November). The mean Q/P ratios for 30 large hurricane events (2016–2021) were 0.12&nbsp;±&nbsp;0.11 and 0.38&nbsp;±&nbsp;0.23 for FW and UW, respectively. The flow rates in the dormant season (around December-May) in UW were similar or lower than FW. We developed conceptual models to explain the seasonal and storm event streamflow differences using background climate (PET), ET, and land surface characteristics. Urban NbS designs should factor in strategies that maximize ET while minimizing impervious surfaces enhancing watershed “sponge” and “pump” functions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union (AGU)","doi":"10.1029/2025WR041340","usgsCitation":"Sun, G., Bian, Z., Khand, K., Caldwell, P.V., Boggs, J., Wang, C., Chen, Y., Liu, N., Zhang, Y., Chen, X., Senay, G., and McNulty, S.G., 2026, Large streamflow differences between forested and urbanized watersheds in the energy-limited eastern United States: The role of evapotranspiration and impervious surfaces: Water Resources Research, v. 62, no. 2, e2025WR041340, 20 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2025WR041340.","productDescription":"e2025WR041340, 20 p.","ipdsId":"IP-185235","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500255,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025wr041340","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":500183,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"eastern United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -68.13910817442056,\n              42.504366194491354\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.89658092237323,\n              42.504366194491354\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.89658092237323,\n              25.74722198798669\n            ],\n            [\n              -68.13910817442056,\n              25.74722198798669\n            ],\n            [\n              -68.13910817442056,\n              42.504366194491354\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"62","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-02-03","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sun, G.","contributorId":205528,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sun","given":"G.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36493,"text":"USDA Forest Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955905,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bian, Z.","contributorId":366435,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bian","given":"Z.","affiliations":[{"id":78585,"text":"Nanjing Normal University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955906,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Khand, K.","contributorId":366436,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Khand","given":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":87483,"text":"AFDS, contractor to USGS EROS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955907,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Caldwell, P.

The goal of USGS EROS aquatic product research and development is to prepare for an operational processing architecture for Landsat Collection 3 in the late 2020s that will enable use of quality-controlled data for emerging Landsat aquatic science applications. To achieve this, we released a subset of the Landsat 8/9 provisional AR products (Crawford et al., 2025, https://doi.org/10.5066/P14MBBRM) and examined its general performance through the Science Algorithms to Operations (SATO) framework alongside quantitative assessment using community made inland water data records (GLObal Reflectance community dataset for Imaging and optical sensing of Aquatic environments, GLORIA) and radiometric coastal validation platforms (NASA’s Ocean Color component of the Aerosol Robotic Network, AERONET-OC). Variability within the validation datasets indicate that the performance of the Landsat 8/9 provisional AR retrieval is highly context-dependent; errors are minimal in optically simple waters (e.g., clear to moderately turbid coastal waters) but increase considerably in optically complex waters where factors such as elevated levels of turbidity, chlorophyll (Chl <i>a</i>) concentrations, or colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) dominate the water column. Additionally, this paper examines key algorithmic considerations for atmospheric correction, highlighting factors that influence accuracy, scalability, and computational efficiency necessary for collection processing in the operational Landsat Product Generation System (LPGS). This paper is intended to communicate with aquatic scientists, satellite oceanographers, and the broader Earth observation community on the origins, requirements, challenges, successes, and future objectives for operationalizing global AR data products for Landsat satellite missions.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Copernicus Publications","doi":"10.5194/essd-2025-317","usgsCitation":"Benjamin Page, Crawford, C., Arab, S., Gail Schmidt, Barnes, C., and Wellington, D., 2026, Origins, evolutions, and future directions of Landsat science products for advancing global inland water and coastal ocean observations: Earth System Science Data, v. 18, no. 2, p. 779-800, https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2025-317.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"779","endPage":"800","ipdsId":"IP-170237","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":499436,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"18","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Benjamin Page 0000-0002-9871-2406","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9871-2406","contributorId":359007,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Benjamin Page","affiliations":[{"id":85733,"text":"Earth Space Technology Services (ESTS)","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954888,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Crawford, Christopher J. 0000-0002-7145-0709 cjcrawford@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7145-0709","contributorId":213607,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Crawford","given":"Christopher J.","email":"cjcrawford@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":954889,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Arab, Saeed 0000-0003-1602-8801","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1602-8801","contributorId":299964,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Arab","given":"Saeed","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":61731,"text":"KBR","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954890,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gail Schmidt 0000-0002-9684-8158","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9684-8158","contributorId":359008,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gail Schmidt","affiliations":[{"id":57411,"text":"KBR, Inc.","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954891,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Barnes, Christopher 0000-0002-4608-4364","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4608-4364","contributorId":359949,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Barnes","given":"Christopher","affiliations":[{"id":68993,"text":"KBR Inc., Contractor to the USGS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954892,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Wellington, Danika F. 0000-0002-2130-0075","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2130-0075","contributorId":237074,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wellington","given":"Danika F.","affiliations":[{"id":6607,"text":"Arizona State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954893,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Increasing area burned is occurring against the backdrop of a large fire deficit caused by over a century of fire exclusion. A key land management question is whether historically frequent fire regimes can be restored. Accurate estimates of historical annual area burned (prior to circa 1900) are necessary to evaluate modern area burned (after circa 1900), but are difficult to derive, and have rarely been calibrated or validated against modern fires, leaving their accuracy uncertain. We developed new methods to use tree-ring fire scars to reconstruct historical annual area burned and compare it to modern annual area burned. We focused on two southwestern US wilderness areas—Saguaro National Park (SAGU) and the Gila Wilderness (GILA)—that have a long history of using prescribed and managed fires. The abundant modern low- and moderate-severity fires allowed us to (1) calibrate and validate the fire-scar models against mapped fires to derive the first uncertainty estimates of reconstructed annual area burned and (2) test whether active fire management can help restore annual area burned to historical levels. A multi-model ensemble consisting of 10 individual member models accurately estimated area burned of mapped modern fires with no consistent biases. Each member model had distinct strengths and assumptions that made them suitable for specific applications (e.g., the synchrony model is easily applied, and Thiessen polygons provide spatially explicit area burned estimates). The accurate reconstruction of modern area burned from relatively sparse fire-scar data at GILA suggests that dense grids may not be necessary for accurate reconstructions. Our findings reveal that despite the near absence of fire in the early 20th century, both annual and 20-year sums of area burned in recent decades are back within historical levels at GILA, and trending toward historical levels at SAGU. These results demonstrate that fire management can help restore the historically prevalent, ecologically important process of widespread, frequent, low-to-moderate-severity fire in dry conifer forests.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecs2.70471","usgsCitation":"Farris, C.A., Margolis, E.Q., Iniguez, J., Falk, D., Gerow, K., Baisan, C., Allen, C., and Swetnam, T., 2026, New methods provide a 300–year perspective on modern area burned in two wilderness areas of the southwest United States: Ecosphere, v. 17, no. 2, e70471, 29 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70471.","productDescription":"e70471, 29 p.","ipdsId":"IP-178352","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":499947,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70471","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":499800,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona, New Mexico","otherGeospatial":"Gila Wilderness, Saguaro National Park","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -108.86590653888511,\n              33.756145710724184\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.86590653888511,\n              32.727467884242714\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.59931693774328,\n              32.727467884242714\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.59931693774328,\n              33.756145710724184\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.86590653888511,\n              33.756145710724184\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -110.76309644861847,\n              32.38160500186068\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.76309644861847,\n              32.04323490904622\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.3491545222334,\n              32.04323490904622\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.3491545222334,\n              32.38160500186068\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.76309644861847,\n              32.38160500186068\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"17","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Farris, Calvin A.","contributorId":292802,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Farris","given":"Calvin","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":63015,"text":"National Park Service, Division of Fire and Aviation Management, P.O.

In this contribution, we demonstrate that the Pd/Pt ratio of the reef is the product of equilibration of an immiscible sulfide liquid with a silicate melt rich in Pd relative to Pt. Despite the high tenors of the J-M reef sulfides (avg 2,700 ppm Pt and 770 ppm Pt), numerical modeling shows that the parental melts did not have extraordinary Pd and Pt concentrations. Instead, the initial composition of a plausible parental silicate melt can have Pd and Pt contents well within the expected range of a normal, mantle-derived partial melt (i.e., ~10–20 ppb for both Pd and Pt with Pd/Pt of ~1). The relative differences in the partitioning behavior of Pt and Pd between sulfide liquid and silicate melt are unlikely to produce a consistent Pd/Pt ratio across a wide range of silicate melt to sulfide liquid mass ratios (i.e., R factors). Instead, the pre-emplacement fractionation of Pt alloy from S-undersaturated silicate magma accounts for the homogeneous and high Pd/Pt ratio of the J-M reef. We show that batch equilibration of sulfide liquid with silicate melt can produce the high Pd/Pt ratios of the reef if the partition coefficients between sulfide liquid and silicate melt for Pd and Pt are extremely high (&gt;10</span><sup>6</sup><span>). In an alternative model, Pd enrichment could be achieved by sulfide upgrading in resident footwall mush even if the partition coefficients between sulfide liquid and silicate melt are relatively small (between 10</span><sup>4</sup><span>&nbsp;and 10</span><sup>6</sup><span>) because the instantaneous mass ratio of silicate melt to sulfide liquid is small (R ≈ 100–700), so the partitioning behavior of Pt and Pd has little impact on the composition of sulfide liquid.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Economic Geologists","doi":"10.5382/econgeo.5217","usgsCitation":"Jenkins, M., and Smith, W.D., 2026, Origin of the Pd/Pt ratio of the J-M Reef, Stillwater Complex, Montana, USA: Economic Geology, v. 121, no. 2, p. 414-427, https://doi.org/10.5382/econgeo.5217.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"414","endPage":"427","ipdsId":"IP-149533","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":504361,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5382/econgeo.5217","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":504263,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Montana","otherGeospatial":"Stillwater Complex","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -110.333,\n              45.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.667,\n              45.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.667,\n              45.25\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.333,\n              45.25\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.333,\n              45.5\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"121","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Jenkins, Michael 0000-0002-4261-409X mjenkins@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4261-409X","contributorId":172433,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jenkins","given":"Michael","email":"mjenkins@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":961406,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Smith, William D.","contributorId":371256,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"William","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":36909,"text":"CSIRO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":961407,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Despite this shift, benthic cover data showed continued declines in stony coral, with increases in macroalgae and octocorals, indicating that limited reef accretion persists even with reduced storm activity. Spatial analyses highlighted variable accretion and erosion patterns across habitats and subregions, underscoring the limitations of localized measurements for ecosystem-wide assessments.

This paper reviews major scientific uncertainties on natural H</span><sub>2</sub><span>, suggesting research priorities, as a guide for defining exploration strategies, techniques, and data interpretation. The uncertainties concern all phases of the natural H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;cycle, from generation (source rocks) through migration (advection and diffusion) and accumulation (reservoir and cap rocks) to the application and interpretation of subsurface and surface geochemical and geophysical exploration techniques. Understanding H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;sources and generation rates (the amount of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;generated by a given volume of rock over time) is crucial for determining whether a geological H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;system operates as a short-term dynamic system with rapid H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;production and release, or as a conventional gas system with long-term accumulations, analogous to petroleum reservoirs. Preliminary estimates for serpentinisation, radiolysis, and organic matter degradation suggest that H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;generation is not inherently fast, especially for non-hydrothermal continental systems (crystalline basement of shields, ophiolites, peridotite massifs, sedimentary basins), and long-term accumulations, like those of fossil natural gas systems, represent the most likely scenario. The mechanisms of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;migration through geological formations require application of fundamental principles of fluid-flow physics, distinguishing advection and diffusion, as well as their forms (from gas-phase, bubble flows to aqueous solutions). Additional studies of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;accumulation and retention in subsurface reservoirs could improve understanding of mechanisms of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;migration by focusing on the rock fluid-bearing properties and the factors affecting H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;preservation, such as the presence of cap rocks impermeable to H</span><sub>2</sub><span>, pressure conditions, residence times, and microbial or abiotic consumption. Advanced techniques, including reservoir modelling, flow simulations, 3D imaging (micro-CT) of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>-bearing rocks, and extraction and analysis of gas occluded in rocks, can provide insights into the stability and potential recoverability of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;accumulations. The interpretation of surface exploration techniques, including gas geochemistry, geophysics, and remote sensing, long employed in mineral and energy resource exploration, is now being adapted for natural H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;studies, but challenges remain in the data interpretation. Distinguishing H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;seepage due to geological degassing from H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;produced near the surface by modern microbial processes or artificial sources, such as hammering or drilling for soil-gas sampling, drilling into aquifers, and corrosion in boreholes, is an essential step in exploration. The simple detection of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;in soils, even in morphological structures like sub-circular depressions or “fairy circles”, cannot be cursorily interpreted as a signal of natural H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;seepage from a deep source. A holistic geochemical approach, including isotopic analyses of gases associated with H</span><sub>2</sub><span>, is recommended to distinguish among the variety of possible H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;origins. Observations of H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;in wells should be interrogated to rule out possible artifacts such as corrosion and drill bit metamorphism. The integration of multiple geophysical methods, including seismic, gravimetric, magnetic, and electro-magnetic surveys, is recommended to mitigate interpretation ambiguities regarding the structure of a subsurface H</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;system (source and reservoir rocks, including fluid and gas storage), due to the non-uniqueness of rock-specific physical properties.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.earscirev.2026.105413","usgsCitation":"Etiope, G., Ellis, G.S., Ardakani, O.H., Boreham, C.J., Klitzke, P.,

Different strategies may be required to model tsunami evolution at different scales and to characterize various intensity measures. Research in tsunami hazard and risk has focused mostly on the tsunami effects such as the wave heights or flow depths. This chapter reviews the evolution of tsunami hazard and risk assessment methodologies, with particular emphasis on the development of probabilistic approaches. Building on advances in numerical modeling and uncertainty analysis, two main frameworks for Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis (PTHA/PTRA) are described. Framework 1 (FW1) focuses on quantitative methods, including fully simulation-based assessments (FW1A), integration of hazard with vulnerability and loss models (FW1B), consideration of dynamic processes such as tidal and sea-level variations (FW1C), and approaches using limited scenario sets (FW1D). Framework 2 (FW2) complements this by incorporating indicator-based vulnerability assessments, both physical (FW2A) and social, multi-dimensional

Hakalau’s higher elevation montane forest provides refuge from avian malaria (</span><i>Plasmodium relictum</i><span>), a primary driver of Hawaiian honeycreeper extinctions. However, recent declines in Hakalau’s birds at lower elevations could indicate that conditions have become suitable for disease vector&nbsp;</span><i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i><span>. We evaluated the statuses of Hakalau’s bird populations in the context of recent climatic changes using new survey data from point-transect distance sampling, producing abundance estimates from 1999 to 2024. We stratified our analysis across four elevation ranges (&lt;1500 m, 1500–1700 m, 1700–1900 m, and &gt;1900 m) and assessed trends for each species using state-space models (SSMs). We constrained population trajectories to be biologically realistic by incorporating population dynamic models within the SSMs. We observed highly species-specific abundance trends below 1500 m, predominantly stable to upward trends within 1500–1700 m, stable trends within 1700–1900 m, and upward trends above 1900 m. Declines in Hawaiʻi ʻamakihi (</span><i>Chlorodrepanis v. virens</i><span>) and endangered ʻakiapōlāʻau (</span><i>Hemignathus wilsoni</i><span>) abundance coincided with lengthening warm seasonal temperatures indicative of shrinking disease-free habitat below 1700 m. Above 1900 m, however, increases in nearly all species indicate that reforestation has likely restored disease-free habitat since 1999. While most species were stable to increasing overall, surveillance for mosquitoes and disease at lower elevations, documenting changes in habitat, and continuing bird population monitoring can help to gauge their long-term persistence at Hakalau.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.gecco.2026.e04094","usgsCitation":"Hunt, N., Kendall, S., Bak, T., Fortini, L., and Camp, R.J., 2026, Hakalau’s moving castle: How climate change and restoration are shifting an island fortress for forest birds: Global Ecology and Conservation, v. 66, e04094, 18 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2026.e04094.","productDescription":"e04094, 18 p.","ipdsId":"IP-181905","costCenters":[{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":505039,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2026.e04094","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":504901,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawaii","otherGeospatial":"Hakalau Forest Unit of the Big Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -155.338,\n              19.88\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.272,\n              19.88\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.272,\n              19.77\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.338,\n              19.77\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.338,\n              19.88\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"66","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-01-31","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hunt, Noah","contributorId":355564,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hunt","given":"Noah","affiliations":[{"id":13341,"text":"Hawai‘i Cooperative Studies Unit, University of Hawai‘i at Hilo","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":962178,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kendall, Steve","contributorId":213517,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kendall","given":"Steve","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":962179,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bak, Trevor","contributorId":292157,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bak","given":"Trevor","affiliations":[{"id":13341,"text":"Hawai‘i Cooperative Studies Unit, University of Hawai‘i at Hilo","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":962180,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Fortini, Lucas B. 0000-0002-5781-7295","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5781-7295","contributorId":202074,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fortini","given":"Lucas B.","affiliations":[{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":962181,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Camp, Richard J. 0000-0001-7008-923X rick_camp@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7008-923X","contributorId":189964,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Camp","given":"Richard","email":"rick_camp@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":5049,"text":"Pacific Islands Ecosys Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":962182,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Effective management of IAGs requires action and long-term strategic planning across the sagebrush biome, but the cumulative effects of IAG treatments over time and space are not well understood, especially over broad extents defined for strategies like the Sagebrush Conservation Design. We developed a simulation model and sampling framework that allow local-scale actions to be ‘scaled up’ to evaluate large-scale regional and biome-wide management strategy outcomes. We worked with natural resource managers and experts to co-develop a spatially explicit state-and-transition simulation model of IAG dynamics in sagebrush landscapes that can be used to evaluate alternative management strategies. We evaluated our framework by contrasting two baseline scenarios in terms of their long-term effects on the sagebrush biome. We show that focusing management efforts on moderate to high IAG cover was effective at reducing full conversion to IAGs but failed to prevent widespread establishment of IAGs in core sagebrush areas, exposing them to increased risk of wildfire and wildlife habitat degradation. The results of our model help quantify the extent of the problem that IAGs pose to sagebrush ecosystems given current knowledge and management efforts. Our framework provides a platform to explore alternative management strategy outcomes and can help managers develop informed conservation plans with realistic expectations for return on investment of resources committed to sagebrush landscapes.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.biocon.2026.111720","usgsCitation":"Orning, E.K., Tarbox, B.C., Jarnevich, C.S.,

Given limited conservation budgets, deciding where to restore habitat is a key challenge for the coming decade. We developed a spatially explicit framework to optimize ecological restoration site selection by integrating land use history, species distributions, and economic costs. The framework includes the following steps: identify potential restoration area based on relevant environmental measures like land use; identify species of interest; calculate restoration benefits by modeling habitat and climate suitability and estimating reduced extinction risk associated with restoring a particular land parcel based on a modified species–area relationship; aggregate benefits across species; and compare to parcel-level land acquisition costs. We applied linear programming to maximize conservation benefit/restoration cost ratios to identify optimized restoration sites. We illustrate this approach using a case study for highly threatened grassland ecosystems in the Great Plains region of Kansas, USA. We selected five grassland animal species (greater prairie chickens [</span><i>Tympanuchus cupido</i><span>], lesser prairie chickens [</span><i>Tympanuchus pallidicinctus</i><span>], swift fox [</span><i>Vulpes velox</i><span>], pronghorn [</span><i>Antilocapra americana</i><span>], and regal fritillary [</span><i>Speyeria idalia</i><span>]) as indicators of restoration benefit across taxa. For the indicator species that we chose, shortgrass and mixed-grass prairies had the highest conservation benefit to cost ratio. Setting a minimum restoration threshold for each habitat type allowed us to identify high-priority tallgrass prairie sites. Despite increasing interest in ecological restoration, optimizing restoration site selection is challenging because one must consider habitat features that do not currently exist. The modeling approach described here is flexible and can be updated for different ecosystems, species, and conservation priorities. We outline potential alterations that can be made in future analyses, depending on desired restoration goals.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of
