In this case study, we demonstrate a novel approach to examining extreme winter storm and flood risks. We incorporated high-resolution atmospheric&ndash;hydrologic modeling of the ARkStorm extreme winter storm scenario with multiple modes of engagement with practitioners, including a series of facilitated discussions and a tabletop emergency management exercise, to develop a regional assessment of extreme storm vulnerabilities, mitigation options, and science needs in the greater Lake Tahoe region of Northern Nevada and California, USA. Through this process, practitioners discussed issues of concern across all phases of the emergency management life cycle, including preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation. Interruption of transportation, communications, and interagency coordination were among the most pressing concerns, and specific approaches for addressing these issues were identified, including prepositioning resources, diversifying communications systems, and improving coordination among state, tribal, and public utility practitioners. Science needs included expanding real-time monitoring capabilities to improve the precision of meteorological models and enhance situational awareness, assessing vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure, and conducting cost&ndash;benefit analyses to assess opportunities to improve both natural and human-made infrastructure to better withstand extreme storms. Our approach and results can be used to support both land use and emergency planning activities aimed toward increasing community resilience to extreme winter storm hazards in mountainous regions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s11069-015-2003-4","usgsCitation":"Albano, C.M., Dettinger, M.D., McCarthy, M., Schaller, K.D., Wellborn, T., and Cox, D.A., 2016, Application of an extreme winter storm scenario to identify vulnerabilities, mitigation options, and science needs in the Sierra Nevada mountains, USA: Natural Hazards, v. 80, no. 2, p. 879-900, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-015-2003-4.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"879","endPage":"900","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-068894","costCenters":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":325768,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"80","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-10-10","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"579b2cace4b0589fa1c98090","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Albano, Christine M.","contributorId":169455,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Albano","given":"Christine","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":12711,"text":"UC Davis","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":643664,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dettinger, Michael D. 0000-0002-7509-7332 mddettin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7509-7332","contributorId":149896,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dettinger","given":"Michael","email":"mddettin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":643663,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McCarthy, Maureen","contributorId":149897,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McCarthy","given":"Maureen","affiliations":[{"id":12742,"text":"University of Nevada Reno","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":643665,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Schaller, Kevin D.","contributorId":173217,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schaller","given":"Kevin","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":643775,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Wellborn, Toby","contributorId":173203,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wellborn","given":"Toby","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":27191,"text":"USGS, NV WSC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":643666,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Cox, Dale A. dacox@usgs.gov","contributorId":165,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cox","given":"Dale","email":"dacox@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":508,"text":"Office of the AD Hazards","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":643667,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Hawai‘i Island is no exception, with over 100,000 ha of historically forested land now dominated by non-native grasses. Passive forest restoration has been unsuccessful because these grasslands tend to persist even after grazers have been removed, yet active outplanting of native tree species can be cost-prohibitive at the landscape scale. It is therefore essential to seek co-benefits of forest restoration to defray costs, such as accredited carbon offsets from increased carbon sequestration. We developed a reforestation scenario for non-native grasslands on Hawai‘i Island by outplanting endemic koa (<i>Acacia koa</i>) trees paid for with carbon offsets via the California Cap and Trade Program. This scenario entails reforesting 53,531 ha of non-native grassland at 2500 ha y-1 over 22 years. We estimated planting costs at \\$6,178 ha-1, a total cost of approximately \\$331,000,000. We used the Land Use and Carbon Simulator (LUCAS) model to estimate island-wide ecosystem carbon sequestration with and without koa reforestation using 100 Monte Carlo simulations per year over a 60-year period.

We used variables representing pre- and post-fire habitat conditions and employed novel techniques to capture changes in in-stream fine sediment, wood, and water temperature. Watershed-scale comparisons of high-quality habitat for each life stage of spring Chinook salmon habitat suggested that there are smaller quantities of high-quality juvenile overwinter habitat as compared to habitat for other life stages. We found that wildfire has the potential to increase quality of adult and overwintering juvenile habitat through increased delivery of wood, while decreasing the quality of egg and fry habitat due to the introduction of fine sediments. Model results showed the largest effect of fire on habitat quality associated with the juvenile life stage, resulting in increases in high-quality habitat in all watersheds. Due to the limited availability of pre-fire high-quality juvenile habitat, and increased habitat quality for this life stage post-fire, occurrence of characteristic wildfires would likely create a positive effect on spring Chinook salmon habitat in the Wenatchee River subbasin. We also compared pre- and post-fire model results of freshwater habitat for each life stage, and for the geometric mean of habitat quality across all life stages, using current compared to the historic distribution of spring Chinook salmon. We found that spring Chinook salmon are currently distributed in stream channels in which in-stream habitat for most life stages has a consistently positive response to fire. This compares to the historic distribution of spring Chinook, in which in-stream habitat exhibited a variable response to fire, including decreases in habitat quality overall or for specific life stages. This suggests that as the distribution of spring Chinook has decreased, they now occupy those areas with the most positive potential response to fire. Our work shows the potentially positive link between wildfire and aquatic habitat that supports forest managers in setting broader goals for fire management, perhaps leading to less fire suppression in some situations.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n</div>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.foreco.2015.09.049","usgsCitation":"Flitcroft, R.L., Falke, J.A., Reeves, G.H., Hessburg, P.F., McNyset, K., and Benda, L.E., 2016, Wildfire may increase habitat quality for spring Chinook salmon in the Wenatchee River subbasin, WA, USA: Forest Ecology and Management, v. 359, p. 126-140, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2015.09.049.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"126","endPage":"140","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-063583","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":324246,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","otherGeospatial":"Wenatchee River","volume":"359","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"576bb6c0e4b07657d1a22979","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Flitcroft, Rebecca L. 0000-0003-3341-996X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3341-996X","contributorId":172180,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Flitcroft","given":"Rebecca","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":6684,"text":"USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station, Aiken, SC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":640420,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Falke, Jeffrey A. 0000-0002-6670-8250 jfalke@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6670-8250","contributorId":5195,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Falke","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jfalke@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":638362,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Reeves, Gordon H.","contributorId":101521,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Reeves","given":"Gordon","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":527,"text":"Pacific Northwest Research Station","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":640421,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hessburg, Paul F.","contributorId":46481,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hessburg","given":"Paul","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":12647,"text":"U.S. Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":640422,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"McNyset, Kris M.","contributorId":58177,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McNyset","given":"Kris M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":640423,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Benda, Lee E.","contributorId":172347,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Benda","given":"Lee","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":640424,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Feldspar grains were identified on the basis of texture (zoning, as mantled feldspars, or in crystal clusters), whether the grains were attached to glass or were in pumice clasts, or were simply crystal fragments with no textural context. Chemistry was determined by electron microprobe analysis, and each analysis is calculated in terms of the percent endmember and plotted on orthoclase (Or) versus anorthite (An) plots. In general, the PST has sanidine and plagioclase compositions that are consistent with having formed in high-silica rhyolite and trachyte within a zoned magma chamber. Feldspars from the PST in Spanish Canyon area cluster along the rhyolitic trend with no grains along the trachytic trend. Similar clustering of feldspars along the rhyolitic trend with no grains along the trachytic trend also occur in the PST from Granite Spring and Providence Mountains to the east of the Alvord Mountain area, and the ranges in compositions are also similar in these locations. In contrast, the PST in the Kane Wash area of the Newberry Mountains has feldspars only from the rhyolitic trend in the basal deposits, but some grains from the trachytic trend are in the upper part of the deposit, and the range in compositions are greater than in the Spanish Canyon area. The variations in vertical compositional zoning and compositional range in these different deposits suggests there were probably different flow paths (or timing of the delivery) during the eruption and runout of the pyroclastic flow(s) generated from the climactic eruption of the PST magma chamber.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Mojave Miocene: Desert Symposium 2015","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"Desert Symposium 2015","conferenceDate":"April 2015","language":"English","publisher":"California State University, Desert Studies Center","publisherLocation":"Fullerton, CA","usgsCitation":"Buesch, D.C., 2016, Regional and local correlations of feldspar geochemistry of the Peach Spring Tuff, Alvord Mountain, California, <i>in</i> Mojave Miocene: Desert Symposium 2015, April 2015, p. 44-50.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"44","endPage":"50","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-063067","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":325225,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.desertsymposium.org/About.html"},{"id":325366,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizon, California, Nevada","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -117.0538330078125,\n              34.24813554589754\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.0538330078125,\n              36.00911716117325\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.719482421875,\n              36.00911716117325\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.719482421875,\n              34.24813554589754\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.0538330078125,\n              34.24813554589754\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"578dfdb8e4b0f1bea0e0f8e4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Buesch, David C. 0000-0002-4978-5027 dbuesch@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4978-5027","contributorId":1154,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Buesch","given":"David","email":"dbuesch@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":309,"text":"Geology and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":642443,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Lake Erie Biological Station’s primary vessel surveys included the Western Basin Forage Fish Assessment and East Harbor Fish Community Assessment as well as contributing to the cooperative multi-agency Central Basin Hydroacoustics Assessment, the Eastern Basin Coldwater Community Assessment, and Lower Trophic Level Assessment (see Forage and Coldwater Task Group reports). In 2015, LEBS also initiated a Lake Erie Central Basin Trawling survey in response to the need for forage fish data from Management Unit 3 (as defined by the Yellow Perch Task Group). Results from these surveys contribute to Lake Erie Committee Fish Community Goals and Objectives. Our 2015 vessel operations were initiated in early April and continued into late November. During this time, crews of the R/V Muskie and R/V Bowfin deployed 121 bottom trawls covering 83.2 ha of lake-bottom and catching 105,600 fish totaling 4,065 kg during four separate trawl surveys in the western and central basins of Lake Erie. We deployed and lifted 9.5 km of gillnet, which caught an additional 805 fish, 100 (337 kg) of which were the native coldwater predators Lake Trout, Burbot, and Lake Whitefish (these data are reported in the 2016 Coldwater Task Group report). We also conducted 317 km of hydroacoustic survey transects (reported in the 2016 Forage Task Group report), collected 114 lower trophic (i.e. zooplankton and benthos) samples, and obtained 216 water quality observations (e.g., temperature profiles, and water samples). The LEBS also assisted CLC member agencies with the maintenance and expansion of GLATOS throughout all three Lake Erie sub-basins. Within the following report sections, we describe results from three trawl surveys – the spring and autumn Western Basin Forage Fish Assessment and the East Harbor Forage Fish Assessment – and the Lower Trophic Level Assessment conducted in 2015, and examine trends in the fish community structure and trophic status of Lake Erie.

Growth in U.S. sales of electric vehicles has been hindered by technical difficulties and the high cost of the lithium-ion batteries used to power many electric vehicles (more than 50% of the vehicle cost). Groundbreaking has begun for a lithium-ion battery factory in Nevada that, at capacity, could manufacture enough batteries to power 500,000 electric vehicles of various types and provide economies of scale to reduce the cost of batteries. Currently, primary synthetic graphite derived from petroleum coke is used in the anode of most lithium-ion batteries. An alternate may be the use of natural flake graphite, which would result in estimated graphite cost reductions of more than US$400 per vehicle at 2013 prices. Most natural flake graphite is sourced from China, the world's leading graphite producer. Sourcing natural flake graphite from deposits in North America could reduce raw material transportation costs and, given China's growing internal demand for flake graphite for its industries and ongoing environmental, labor, and mining issues, may ensure a more reliable and environmentally conscious supply of graphite. North America has flake graphite resources, and Canada is currently a producer, but most new mining projects in the United States require more than 10 yr to reach production, and demand could exceed supplies of flake graphite. Natural flake graphite may serve only to supplement synthetic graphite, at least for the short-term outlook.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/2016.2520(08)","usgsCitation":"Olson, D.W., Virta, R.L., Mahdavi, M., Sangine, E.S., and Fortier, S., 2016, Natural graphite demand and supply - Implications for electric vehicle battery requirements: GSA Special Papers, v. 520, p. 67-77, https://doi.org/10.1130/2016.2520(08).","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"67","endPage":"77","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-065106","costCenters":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":324667,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"520","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"577642b0e4b07dd077c87406","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Olson, Donald W. dolson@usgs.gov","contributorId":526,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Olson","given":"Donald","email":"dolson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":545489,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Virta, Robert L. rvirta@usgs.gov","contributorId":395,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Virta","given":"Robert","email":"rvirta@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":545490,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Mahdavi, Mahbood mmahdavi@usgs.gov","contributorId":140390,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mahdavi","given":"Mahbood","email":"mmahdavi@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":545491,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Sangine, Elizabeth S. escottsangine@usgs.gov","contributorId":5806,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sangine","given":"Elizabeth","email":"escottsangine@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":545492,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Fortier, Steven M. sfortier@usgs.gov","contributorId":140391,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fortier","given":"Steven M.","email":"sfortier@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":545493,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

This is particularly true in regions with developing infrastructure and regions that are frequently exposed to extreme events. Gauge observations of rainfall are sparse but capture the precipitation process with high fidelity. Due to its high resolution and complete spatial coverage, satellite-derived rainfall data are an attractive alternative in data-sparse regions and are often used to support hydrometeorological early warning systems. Satellite-derived precipitation data, however, tend to underrepresent extreme precipitation events. Thus, it is often desirable to blend spatially extensive satellite-derived rainfall estimates with high-fidelity rain gauge observations to obtain more accurate precipitation estimates. In this research, we use two different methods, namely, ordinary kriging and κ-nearest neighbor local polynomials, to blend rain gauge observations with the Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation satellite-derived precipitation estimates in data-sparse Central America and Colombia. The utility of these methods in producing blended precipitation estimates at pentadal (five-day) and monthly time scales is demonstrated. We find that these blending methods significantly improve the satellite-derived estimates and are competitive in their ability to capture extreme precipitation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"IEEE","doi":"10.1109/TGRS.2015.2502956","usgsCitation":"Verdin, A., Funk, C.C., Rajagopalan, B., and Kleiber, W., 2016, Kriging and local polynomial methods for blending satellite-derived and gauge precipitation estimates to support hydrologic early warning systems: IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, v. 54, no. 5, p. 2552-2562, https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2015.2502956.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"2552","endPage":"2562","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-056084","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":306435,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"54","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"55c333a9e4b033ef52106a79","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Verdin, Andrew","contributorId":145812,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Verdin","given":"Andrew","affiliations":[{"id":6713,"text":"University of Colorado, Boulder CO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":565371,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Funk, Christopher C. 0000-0002-9254-6718 cfunk@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9254-6718","contributorId":721,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Funk","given":"Christopher","email":"cfunk@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":565370,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Rajagopalan, Balaji","contributorId":145813,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rajagopalan","given":"Balaji","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16240,"text":"U of Colorado, Boulder","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":565372,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Kleiber, William","contributorId":145814,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kleiber","given":"William","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16240,"text":"U of Colorado, Boulder","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":565373,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Waning Pleistocene neotectonic activity and onset of major glacial episodes, in particular Marine Isotope Stages 11–2 (~420–14 ka), induced basin fill, spillover, and erosion of the southern San Luis Basin.

By ~200 ka, erosion had cut through topographic highs at Ute Mountain and the Red River fault zone, and began deep-canyon incision across the southern San Luis Basin. Previous studies indicate that prior to 200 ka, the present Rio Grande terminated into a large bolson complex in the vicinity of El Paso, Texas, and systematic, headward erosional processes had subtly integrated discontinuously connected basins along the eastern flank of the Rio Grande rift and southern Rocky Mountains. We propose that the integration of the entire San Luis Basin into the Rio Grande drainage system (~400–200 ka) was the critical event in the formation of the modern Rio Grande, integrating hinterland basins of the Rio Grande rift from El Paso, Texas, north to the San Luis Basin with the Gulf of Mexico. This event dramatically affected basins southeast of El Paso, Texas, across the Chisos Mountains and southeastern Basin and Range province, including the Rio Conchos watershed and much of the Chihuahuan Desert, inducing broad regional landscape incision and exhumation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/2016.0044(13)​","usgsCitation":"Ruleman, C.A., Machette, M., Thompson, R.A., Miggins, D.M., Goehring, B.M., and Paces, J.B., 2016, Geomorphic evolution of the San Luis Basin and Rio Grande in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico: GSA Field Guides, v. 44, p. 291-333, https://doi.org/10.1130/2016.0044(13)​.","productDescription":"43 p.","startPage":"291","endPage":"333","ipdsId":"IP-076013","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":340697,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":" Colorado, New Mexico","otherGeospatial":"Rio Grande, San Luis Basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -105,\n              36.2\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.5,\n              36.2\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.5,\n              38.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -105,\n              38.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -105,\n              36.2\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"44","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59084929e4b0fc4e448ffd56","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ruleman, Chester A. 0000-0002-1503-4591 cruleman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1503-4591","contributorId":1264,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ruleman","given":"Chester","email":"cruleman@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":245,"text":"Eastern Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":693582,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Machette, Michael","contributorId":191604,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Machette","given":"Michael","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":693584,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Thompson, Ren A. 0000-0002-3044-3043 rathomps@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3044-3043","contributorId":1265,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thompson","given":"Ren","email":"rathomps@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":693583,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Miggins, Dan M","contributorId":191605,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Miggins","given":"Dan","email":"","middleInitial":"M","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":693585,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Goehring, Brent M","contributorId":191606,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Goehring","given":"Brent","email":"","middleInitial":"M","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":693586,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Paces, James B. 0000-0002-9809-8493 jbpaces@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9809-8493","contributorId":2514,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Paces","given":"James","email":"jbpaces@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":693587,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Carbonatite- related REE deposits, the most significant deposit type, include two giant deposits presently being mined in China, Bayan Obo and Maoniuping, the first and third largest deposits of this type in the world, respectively. The carbonatite-related deposits host the majority of China’s REE resource and are the primary supplier of the world’s light REE. The REE-bearing clay deposits, or ion adsorption-type deposits, are second in importance and are the main source in China for heavy REE resources. Other REE resources include those within monazite or xenotime placers, beach placers, alkaline granites, pegmatites, and hydrothermal veins, as well as some additional deposit types in which REE are recovered as by-products. </p><p>Carbonatite-related REE deposits in China occur along craton margins, both in rifts (e.g., Bayan Obo) and in reactivated transpressional margins (e.g., Maoniuping). They comprise those along the northern, eastern, and southern margins of the North China block, and along the western margin of the Yangtze block. Major structural features along the craton margins provide first-order controls for REE-related Proterozoic to Cenozoic carbonatite alkaline complexes; these are emplaced in continental margin rifts or strike-slip faults. </p><p>The ion adsorption-type REE deposits, mainly situated in the South China block, are genetically linked to the weathering of granite and, less commonly, volcanic rocks and lamprophyres. Indosinian (early Mesozoic) and Yanshanian (late Mesozoic) granites are the most important parent rocks for these REE deposits, although Caledonian (early Paleozoic) granites are also of local importance. The primary REE enrichment is hosted in various mineral phases in the igneous rocks and, during the weathering process, the REE are released and adsorbed by clay minerals in the weathering profile. Currently, these REE-rich clays are primarily mined from open-pit operations in southern China. </p><p>The complex geologic evolution of China’s Precambrian blocks, particularly the long-term subduction of ocean crust below the North and South China blocks, enabled recycling of REE-rich pelagic sediments into mantle lithosphere. This resulted in the REE-enriched nature of the mantle below the Precambrian cratons, which were reactivated and thus essentially decratonized during various tectonic episodes throughout the Proterozoic and Phanerozoic. Deep fault zones within and along the edges of the blocks, including continental rifts and strike-slip faults, provided pathways for upwelling of mantle material.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Reviews in Economic Geology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Society of Economic Geologists","usgsCitation":"Xie, Y., Hou, Z., Goldfarb, R.J., Guo, X., and Wang, L., 2016, Rare earth element deposits in China, chap. <i>of</i> Reviews in Economic Geology, v. 18, p. 115-136.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"115","endPage":"136","ipdsId":"IP-055440","costCenters":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":343440,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"18","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"595f4c40e4b0d1f9f057e354","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Xie, Yu-Ling","contributorId":194313,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Xie","given":"Yu-Ling","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703702,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hou, Zeng-qian","contributorId":194314,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hou","given":"Zeng-qian","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703703,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Goldfarb, Richard J. goldfarb@usgs.gov","contributorId":1205,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Goldfarb","given":"Richard","email":"goldfarb@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":703701,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Guo, Xiang","contributorId":194315,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Guo","given":"Xiang","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703704,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Wang, Lei","contributorId":193279,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wang","given":"Lei","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703705,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

We compare independent assessments of terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) surface exposure ages for glacial deposits that we have determined to those obtained by others at the two sites. At each site, TCN ages of boulders on moraines of the younger advance are between 15 and 30&nbsp;ka and may be associated with marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 2. At Woodfords, TCN ages of boulders on the moraine of the older advance are younger than ~&nbsp;60&nbsp;ka and possibly formed during MIS 4, whereas boulders on the correlative outwash surface show ages approaching 140&nbsp;ka (~&nbsp;MIS 6). The TCN ages of boulders on older glacial moraine at Woodfords thus appear to severely underestimate the true age of the glacial advance responsible for the deposit. The same is possibly true at Lamoille where clasts sampled from the moraine of the oldest advance have ages ranging between 20 and 40&nbsp;ka with a single outlier age of ~&nbsp;80&nbsp;ka. The underestimations are attributed to the degradation and denudation of older moraine crests. Noting that boulder ages on the older advances at each site overlap significantly with MIS 2. We speculate that erosion of the older moraines has been episodic, with a pulse of denudation accompanying the inception of MIS 2 glaciation.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.geomorph.2016.04.027","usgsCitation":"Wesnousky, S.G., Briggs, R.W., Caffee, M.W., Ryerson, R.J., Finkel, R.C., and Owen, L., 2016, Terrestrial cosmogenic surface exposure dating of glacial and associated landforms in the Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range of central Nevada and along the northeastern flank of the Sierra Nevada: Geomorphology, v. 268, p. 72-81, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2016.04.027.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"72","endPage":"81","ipdsId":"IP-074553","costCenters":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":488697,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1438659","text":"External Repository"},{"id":342840,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Nevada","otherGeospatial":"Sierra Nevada Mountains; Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range","volume":"268","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"594f7a1ee4b062508e3b1b8b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wesnousky, Steven G.","contributorId":193416,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wesnousky","given":"Steven","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":33746,"text":"Center for Neotectonic Studies, Reno, NV","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":700405,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Briggs, Richard W. 0000-0001-8108-0046 rbriggs@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8108-0046","contributorId":139002,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Briggs","given":"Richard","email":"rbriggs@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":700406,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Caffee, Marc W. 0000-0002-6846-8967","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6846-8967","contributorId":193417,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Caffee","given":"Marc","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":13186,"text":"Purdue University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":700407,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Ryerson, Rick J.","contributorId":193418,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ryerson","given":"Rick","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":13621,"text":"Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":700408,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Finkel, Robert C.","contributorId":83426,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Finkel","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":13621,"text":"Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":700409,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Owen, Lewis A.","contributorId":138784,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Owen","given":"Lewis A.","affiliations":[{"id":6694,"text":"Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":700410,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

The pollen percentages of <i>Pinus</i> and subalpine conifers were high from ~&nbsp;25 to 21.5&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka, indicating cool and moist conditions during the Stansbury oscillation and for much of the rise toward the Bonneville shoreline. <i>Pinus</i> percentages then decreased and <i>Artemisia</i> became codominant, suggesting drier and perhaps colder conditions from ~&nbsp;21 to ~&nbsp;15&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka, when Lake Bonneville was at or near its highest levels.</p><p id=\"sp0095\">Lake Bonneville declined to a low level by ~&nbsp;13&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka, while <i>Pinus</i> pollen percentages increased, indicating that conditions remained cooler and moister than today. During the Younger Dryas interval, the brief Gilbert episode rise in lake level was followed by a shallow lake with a stratified water column. This lake rise occurred as <i>Pinus</i> pollen percentages were declining and those of <i>Artemisia</i> were rising (reflecting increasingly dry conditions), after which <i>Artemisia</i> pollen was at very high levels (suggesting cold and dry conditions) for a brief period.</p><p id=\"sp0100\">Since ~&nbsp;10.6&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka lacustrine conditions have resembled those of present-day GSL. Pollen spectra for the period from ~&nbsp;10.6 to 7.2&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka have low levels of conifer pollen and high (for the Holocene) levels of desert and steppe taxa, suggesting generally dry conditions with maximum aridity occurring prior to the deposition of the Mazama tephra (~&nbsp;7.6&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka). After ~&nbsp;10.6&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka, <i>Juniperus</i> pollen percentages began to increase and by ~&nbsp;7.2&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka juniper woodlands were well established on lower mountain slopes. From ~&nbsp;7 to 4&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka, pollen percentages fluctuated near their mean values for the entire Holocene. The neopluvial (~&nbsp;4 to 2&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka) was the wettest part of the Holocene, with higher levels of <i>Juniperus</i> pollen and lower levels for steppe and desert taxa than in older Holocene sediments. Pollen percentages for the last ~&nbsp;2&nbsp;cal&nbsp;ka are variable, but generally indicate a return to drier conditions.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Developments in earth surface processes: Lake Bonneville — A scientific update","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/B978-0-444-63590-7.00011-1","usgsCitation":"Thompson, R.S., Oviatt, C.G., Honke, J.S., and McGeehin, J., 2016, Late quaternary changes in lakes, vegetation, and climate in the Bonneville Basin reconstructed from sediment cores from Great Salt Lake: Chapter 11, chap. <i>of</i> Developments in earth surface processes: Lake Bonneville — A scientific update, v. 20, p. 221-291, https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-444-63590-7.00011-1.","productDescription":"71 p.","startPage":"221","endPage":"291","ipdsId":"IP-070853","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":340696,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"20","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59084929e4b0fc4e448ffd58","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Thompson, Robert S. 0000-0001-9287-2954 rthompson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9287-2954","contributorId":891,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thompson","given":"Robert","email":"rthompson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":693578,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Oviatt, Charles G.","contributorId":36580,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Oviatt","given":"Charles","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":693579,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Honke, Jeffrey S. 0000-0003-4357-9297 jhonke@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4357-9297","contributorId":1616,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Honke","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jhonke@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":693580,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McGeehin, John mcgeehin@usgs.gov","contributorId":167455,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McGeehin","given":"John","email":"mcgeehin@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":243,"text":"Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":242,"text":"Eastern Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":693581,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Breeding habitat of Golden-winged Warblers (<i>Vermivora chrysoptera</i>) is characterized by largely forested landscapes containing natural or anthropogenic disturbance elements that maintain forest patches in early stages of succession. Breeding habitat occurs in a variety of settings, including shrub and forest swamps, regenerating forests following timber harvest, grazed pastures, and reclaimed mined lands. We identified structural components of nest sites for Golden-winged Warblers by measuring habitat characteristics across five states (North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia) in the Appalachian breeding-distribution segment and two states (Minnesota and Wisconsin) in the Great Lakes breeding-distribution segment. We measured habitat characteristics at the nest-site scale with a series of nested plots characterizing herbaceous vegetation (grasses and forbs), woody shrubs and saplings, and overstory trees. We measured similar variables at paired random plots located 25–50 m from the nest within the same territory to evaluate selection. We used conditional logistical regression to identify which parameters were important in habitat selection and Simple Saddlepoint Approximation (SSA) to aid in management interpretation of identified parameters for each study site. Study site was an important determinant for which parameters were significant in nest-site selection, although selection for some parameters was consistent across sites. The amount of woody cover at the nest-site scale was consistently present in the top nest-site selection models across sites, although the direction of the relationship was not the same across all sites. We also identified grass, forb, woody cover, and vegetation density as important components of Golden-winged Warbler nest-site selection. Based on SSA, we identified vegetation thresholds to aid in designing habitat management prescriptions to promote creation or restoration of Golden-winged Warbler nesting habitat across the eastern portion of their breeding distribution.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Golden-winged Warbler ecology, conservation, and habitat management (Studies in Avian Biology, volume 49)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"CRC Press","publisherLocation":"Boca Raton, FL","isbn":"978-1-4822-4068-9","usgsCitation":"Terhune, T.M., Aldinger, K.R., Buehler, D.A., Flaspohler, D.J., Larkin, J.L., Loegering, J.P., Percy, K.L., Roth, A.M., Smalling, C.G., and Wood, P., 2016, Golden-winged Warbler nest-site habitat selection: Chapter 7, chap. 7 <i>of</i> Golden-winged Warbler ecology, conservation, and habitat management (Studies in Avian Biology, volume 49): Studies in Avian Biology, v. 49, p. 109-125.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"109","endPage":"125","ipdsId":"IP-052635","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":340750,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":340749,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://hdl.handle.net/11299/189700"}],"volume":"49","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59099aaee4b0fc4e449157f0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Terhune, Theron M.

This study examines the effects of four statistical downscaling methods [bias-corrected constructed analog (BCCA), bias-corrected spatial disaggregation applied at daily (BCSDd) and monthly scales (BCSDm), and asynchronous regression (AR)] on retrospective hydrologic simulations using three hydrologic models with their default parameters (the Community Land Model, version 4.0; the Variable Infiltration Capacity model, version 4.1.2; and the Precipitation–Runoff Modeling System, version 3.0.4) over the contiguous United States (CONUS). Biases of hydrologic simulations forced by statistically downscaled climate data relative to the simulation with observation-based gridded data are presented. Each statistical downscaling method produces different meteorological portrayals including precipitation amount, wet-day frequency, and the energy input (i.e., shortwave radiation), and their interplay affects estimations of precipitation partitioning between evapotranspiration and runoff, extreme runoff, and hydrologic states (i.e., snow and soil moisture). The analyses show that BCCA underestimates annual precipitation by as much as −250 mm, leading to unreasonable hydrologic portrayals over the CONUS for all models. Although the other three statistical downscaling methods produce a comparable precipitation bias ranging from −10 to 8 mm across the CONUS, BCSDd severely overestimates the wet-day fraction by up to 0.25, leading to different precipitation partitioning compared to the simulations with other downscaled data. Overall, the choice of downscaling method contributes to less spread in runoff estimates (by a factor of 1.5–3) than the choice of hydrologic model with use of the default parameters if BCCA is excluded.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","doi":"10.1175/JHM-D-14-0187.1","usgsCitation":"Mizukami, N., Clark, M.P., Gutmann, E.D., Mendoza, P.A., Newman, A.J., Nijssen, B., Livneh, B., Hay, L.E., Arnold, J.R., and Brekke, L.D., 2016, Implications of the methodological choices for hydrologic portrayals of climate change over the contiguous United States: Statistically downscaled forcing data and hydrologic models: Journal of Hydrometeorology, v. 17, p. 75-98, https://doi.org/10.1175/JHM-D-14-0187.1.","productDescription":"24 p.","startPage":"75","endPage":"98","ipdsId":"IP-064865","costCenters":[{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":471387,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1175/jhm-d-14-0187.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":343367,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"17","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"595dfab0e4b0d1f9f056a763","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Mizukami, Naoki","contributorId":178120,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mizukami","given":"Naoki","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703484,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Clark, Martyn P.","contributorId":194183,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Clark","given":"Martyn","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703485,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gutmann, Ethan D.","contributorId":194227,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gutmann","given":"Ethan","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703486,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Mendoza, Pablo A.","contributorId":194228,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mendoza","given":"Pablo","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703487,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Newman, Andrew J.","contributorId":194229,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Newman","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703488,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Nijssen, Bart","contributorId":178123,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nijssen","given":"Bart","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703490,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Livneh, Ben","contributorId":145804,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Livneh","given":"Ben","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":12641,"text":"NOAA NMFS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":703491,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Hay, Lauren E. 0000-0003-3763-4595 lhay@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3763-4595","contributorId":1287,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hay","given":"Lauren","email":"lhay@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":703502,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Arnold, Jeffrey R.","contributorId":178125,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Arnold","given":"Jeffrey","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703492,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Brekke, Levi D.","contributorId":6776,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brekke","given":"Levi","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":703493,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

This was first recognized by G.K. Gilbert and addressed in the early work of Robert Bright, who focused on the southeastern Idaho region of Gem Valley and Oneida Narrows. In this chapter, we summarize and evaluate existing knowledge from this region, present updated and new chronostratigraphic evidence for the Bear River's drainage history, and discuss implications for the Bonneville record as well as future research needs.</p><p id=\"sp0045\">The Bear River in Plio-Pleistocene time joined the Snake River to the north by following the present-day Portneuf or Blackfoot drainages, with it likely joining the Portneuf River by middle Pleistocene time. An episode of volcanism in the Blackfoot-Gem Valley volcanic field, sparsely dated to ~&nbsp;100–50&nbsp;ka, diverted the Bear River southward from where the Alexander shield volcano obstructed the river's path into Gem Valley. Previous chronostratigraphic and isotopic work on the Main Canyon Formation in southern Gem Valley indicates internal-basin sedimentation during the Quaternary, with a possible brief incursion of the Bear River ~&nbsp;140&nbsp;ka. New evidence confirms that the Bear River's final diversion at 60–50&nbsp;ka led to its integration into the Bonneville basin by spillover at a paleo-divide above present-day Oneida Narrows. This drove rapid incision before the rise of Lake Bonneville into the canyon and southern Gem Valley.</p><p id=\"sp0050\">Bear River diversion at 60–50&nbsp;ka coincides with the end of the Cutler Dam lake cycle, at the onset of marine isotope stage 3. The Bear River subsequently contributed to the rise of Lake Bonneville, the highest pluvial lake known in the basin, culminating in the Bonneville flood.

The breccia pipes cut the rhyolite-hosted magnetite deposit and contain clasts of nearly all local bedrock and mineralized lithologies.</p><p>Grains of monazite and xenotime were extracted from breccia pipe samples for SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology; both minerals were also dated in one polished thin section. Monazite forms two morphologies: (1) matrix granular grains composed of numerous small (&lt;50<span>&nbsp;</span><i>μ</i>m) crystallites intergrown with rare xenotime, thorite, apatite, and magnetite; and (2) coarse euhedral, glassy, bright-yellow grains similar to typical igneous or metamorphic monazite. Trace element abundances (including REE patterns) were determined on selected grains of monazite (both morphologies) and xenotime. Zircon grains from two samples of host rhyolite and two late felsic dikes collected underground at Pea Ridge were also dated. Additional geochronology done on breccia pipe minerals includes Re-Os on fine-grained molybdenite and<span>&nbsp;</span><sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar on muscovite, biotite, and K-feldspar.</p><p>Ages (±2<i>σ</i><span>&nbsp;</span>errors) obtained by SHRIMP U-Pb analysis are as follows: (1) zircon from the two host rhyolite samples have ages of 1473.6 ± 8.0 and 1472.7 ± 5.6 Ma; most zircon in late felsic dikes is interpreted as xenocrystic (age range ca. 1522–1455 Ma); a population of rare spongy zircon is likely of igneous origin and yields an age of 1441 ± 9 Ma; (2) pale-yellow granular monazite—1464.9 ± 3.3 Ma (no dated xenotime); (3) reddish matrix granular monazite—1462.0 ± 3.5 Ma and associated xenotime—1453 ± 11 Ma; (4) coarse glassy-yellow monazite—1464.8 ± 2.1, 1461.7 ± 3.7 Ma, with rims at 1447.2 ± 4.7 Ma; and (5) matrix monazite (in situ)—1464.1 ± 3.6 and 1454.6 ± 9.6 Ma, and matrix xenotime (in situ)—1468.0 ± 8.0 Ma. Two slightly older ages of cores are about 1478 Ma. The young age of rims on the coarse glassy monazite coincides with an Re-Os age of 1440.6 ± 9.2 Ma determined in this study for molybdenite intergrown with quartz and allanite, and with the age of monazite inclusions in apatite from the magnetite ore (<a class=\"link link-ref link-reveal xref-bibr\" data-open=\"b53-1111883\">Neymark et al., 2016</a>). A<span>&nbsp;</span><sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar age of 1473 ± 1 Ma was obtained for muscovite from a breccia pipe sample.</p><p>Geochronology and trace element geochemical data suggest that the granular matrix monazite and xenotime (in polygonal texture), and cores of coarse glassy monazite precipitated from hydrothermal fluids during breccia pipes formation at about 1465 Ma. The second episode of mineral growth at ca. 1443 Ma may be related to faulting and fluid flow that rebrecciated the pipes. The ca. 10-m.y. gap between the ages of host volcanic rocks and breccia pipe monazite and xenotime suggests that breccia pipe mineral formation cannot be related to the felsic magmatism represented by the rhyolitic volcanic rocks, and hence is linked to a different magmatic-hydrothermal system.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Economic
