Understanding the variation of shoreline position, a key metric in coastal morphology, over a spectrum of time scales is therefore crucial in assessing hazard vulnerability. Long-standing research has investigated the role of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the dominant mode of climate variability in the Pacific Basin, in seasonal shoreline variability. Yet, ENSO’s chronic influence—and that of another Pacific climate mode, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)—on shoreline anomalies remains poorly understood. Here, we examine the variability of sandy beaches in the US Pacific Northwest, a ∼750 km long coastal region on the US West Coast. We leverage 40 years (1984–2024) of shoreline data from publicly available Earth-observing (Landsat) satellite imagery at a high spatial resolution (&gt;10,000 shore-normal transects at 50-m alongshore spacing) and employ Convergent Cross Mapping (CCM), a methodology for inferring causality in dynamical systems. We discover that strong El Niño years are signified by erosion (75.1% of transects), and strong La Niña years exhibit accretional behavior (73.4% of transects). Furthermore, we establish, for the first time, that both ENSO and PDO exert a statistically significant control on interannual shoreline variability, particularly on the alongshore component (in 95 and 100% of littoral cells, respectively), with water level fluctuations playing a critical role. This effort advances our understanding of the seasonal-to-interannual interactions between Pacific Basin climate variability and the PNW’s coastal morphodynamics, with implications for sediment management and coastal adaptation.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Academic","doi":"10.1093/pnasnexus/pgaf404","usgsCitation":"Taherkhani, M., Vitousek, S., Graffin, M., Vos, K., Allan, J.C., Kaminsky, G.M., Ruggiero, P., 2026, ENSO and PDO drive shoreline position anomalies in the U.S. Pacific Northwest: PNAS Nexus, v. 5, no. 1, pgaf404, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgaf404.","productDescription":"pgaf404, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-176083","costCenters":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500608,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgaf404","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":500510,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California, Oregon, Washington","otherGeospatial":"Pacific Northwest","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -125.83369555506572,\n              48.57459950593827\n            ],\n            [\n              -126.00388302759357,\n              39.14100845126933\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.98418105660868,\n              39.14100845126933\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.61669284602645,\n              48.33915875055985\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.83369555506572,\n              48.57459950593827\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"5","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-01-09","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Taherkhani, Mohsen","contributorId":366984,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Taherkhani","given":"Mohsen","affiliations":[{"id":6680,"text":"Oregon State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956529,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Vitousek, Sean 0000-0002-3369-4673 svitousek@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3369-4673","contributorId":149065,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vitousek","given":"Sean","email":"svitousek@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":956530,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Graffin, Marcan","contributorId":366985,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Graffin","given":"Marcan","affiliations":[{"id":47711,"text":"University of Toulouse","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956531,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Vos, Kilian","contributorId":366986,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Vos","given":"Kilian","affiliations":[{"id":87519,"text":"OHB Digital Services","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956532,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Allan, Jonathan C.","contributorId":118007,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Allan","given":"Jonathan","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":7198,"text":"Oregon Department Geology and Mineral Industries","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956533,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Kaminsky, George M.","contributorId":366988,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kaminsky","given":"George","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":25353,"text":"Washington State Department of Ecology","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956534,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Ruggiero, Peter","contributorId":366989,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ruggiero","given":"Peter","affiliations":[{"id":6680,"text":"Oregon State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956535,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Remote sensing has become a viable alternative, but many image-based techniques require field data for calibration and depth and velocity can seldom be mapped with a single sensor. A new approach based on critical flow theory, in contrast, allows both of these attributes to be inferred from readily available image data. This technique only pertains to sites with standing waves, called undular hydraulic jumps (UHJs), but a recent investigation demonstrated its potential to provide accurate discharge estimates. This paper introduces software designed to facilitate Inferring Q from UHJs Identified in River Images (InQUIRI). The package includes modules for retrieving data from image servers, making the measurements of wavelength and width required to calculate discharge, inferring a representative wavelength from a profile digitized along a wave train, combining multiple estimates to obtain an ensemble median discharge, and assessing accuracy via comparison to gage records from the U.S. Geological Survey. By making these steps easier to implement, InQUIRI enables users to apply the workflow to a variety of UHJ-containing images. Accumulating more case studies, some successful and others less so, would help constrain the range of applicability of the critical flow approach and foster development of refined guidelines for selecting and measuring waves. The software described herein could play an important role in promoting informed use of this new technique for non-contact streamflow measurement.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/rra.70110","usgsCitation":"Legleiter, C.J., and Bae, I., 2026, Software to support remote sensing of river discharge based on critical flow theory: River Research and Applications, v. 42, no. 4, p. 915-928, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.70110.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"915","endPage":"928","ipdsId":"IP-177368","costCenters":[{"id":37786,"text":"WMA - Observing Systems Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":504196,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.70110","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":503995,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah","otherGeospatial":"San Juan River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -110.06018346800349,\n              37.330658346497\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.06018346800349,\n              36.621767331184955\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.36930145181944,\n              36.621767331184955\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.36930145181944,\n              37.330658346497\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.06018346800349,\n              37.330658346497\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"42","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-01-09","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Legleiter, Carl J. 0000-0003-0940-8013 cjl@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0940-8013","contributorId":169002,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Legleiter","given":"Carl","email":"cjl@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37778,"text":"WMA - Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":961026,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bae, Inhyeok 0000-0003-3942-4110","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3942-4110","contributorId":347541,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bae","given":"Inhyeok","affiliations":[{"id":36394,"text":"University of Idaho","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":961027,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

This study systematically evaluated the consistency and performance of transcriptomic-based approaches over time with repeated sampling and with differing experimental approaches (selection of reference condition, grab vs. composite sampling, deployed vs. laboratory exposed). RNA-seq was performed on larval fathead minnow (FHM) exposed in the laboratory to moderately hard reconstituted water (MRHW) or individual grab samples collected from an upstream site and a WWTE in the morning and afternoon over two successive days, as well as FHM deployed concurrently with grab sampling at the same sites. Composite transcriptional profiles were generated by pooling count data from grab sample exposures. The choice of comparator significantly affected results. The use of the upstream site as the reference consistently yielded fewer differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and minimal overlap compared to DEG sets from the other comparisons. Using MRHW as a comparator, DEG sets showed high consistency across grab samples, with morning samples demonstrating larger, highly consistent gene expression sets (96&nbsp;% overlap) compared to afternoon samples, revealing clear and consistent within-day expression patterns. With the MHRW comparator, DEG sets from grab sample composites and deployments also overlapped substantially, indicating that transcriptional profiles accurately reflect WWTE composition regardless of exposure method. Comparisons with non-targeted (NTA) and targeted analytical datasets confirmed that gene expression interpretations aligned with effluent composition while highlighting limitations of relying solely on targeted analyte sets for connecting expression to specific chemicals. Though highly dependent on experimental design, these results demonstrate that transcriptomic-based methods provide significant utility for characterizing the bioactivity of complex environmental mixtures, and when paired with NTA datasets, have the potential to deliver a comprehensive assessment of their environmental risk.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.envpol.2025.127568","usgsCitation":"Biales, A., Hu, M.S., Bencic, D.C., See, M.J., Glassmeyer, S.T., Furlong, E., Stelman, J.M., Huang, W., Kolpin, D., Mills, M.A., Brunelle, L.D., Batt, A.L., and Purucker, S.T., 2026, Performance evaluation and methods comparison of transcriptomic-based approaches for the characterization of wastewater treatment effluent: Environmental Pollution, v. 392, 127568, 12 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2025.127568.","productDescription":"127568, 12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-177758","costCenters":[{"id":36532,"text":"Central Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":499097,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"392","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-01-08","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Biales, Adam","contributorId":200074,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Biales","given":"Adam","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":954513,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hu, M.

In Central Asia, the effects of land use and climate changes on crop water consumption remain unknown. We estimated the dynamics of crop water consumption by mapping annual actual evapotranspiration from Landsat imagery from 1987 to 2019 for all irrigated croplands in the Amu Darya Basin, the largest transboundary river in Central Asia. Total crop water consumption increased by 10%, while average consumption per unit area increased by 18%. Climate change was the main driver of the rising crop water consumption; land use changes towards less water-intensive cropping practices offset only 3% of this increase. Our findings underscore that crop production will become increasingly challenging amidst accelerating climatic changes and that changing cropping practices alone will be insufficient to curb the growing water scarcity without a global commitment to reducing emissions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Nature","doi":"10.1038/s43247-025-03142-y","usgsCitation":"Peña-Guerrero, M.D., Senay, G., Umirbekov, A., Tarasova, L., Rufin, P., Pulatov, B., and Müller, D., 2026, Climate change has increased crop water consumption in Central Asia despite less water-intensive cropping: Communications Earth & Environment, v. 7, 122, 9 p., https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-025-03142-y.","productDescription":"122, 9 p.","ipdsId":"IP-180332","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":501667,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-025-03142-y","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":501444,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan","otherGeospatial":"Amu Darya basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              55.14649185414618,\n              42.425007460866794\n            ],\n            [\n              55.14649185414618,\n              37.25183592908982\n            ],\n            [\n              69.68848488936624,\n              37.25183592908982\n            ],\n            [\n              69.68848488936624,\n              42.425007460866794\n            ],\n            [\n              55.14649185414618,\n              42.425007460866794\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-01-08","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Peña-Guerrero, M.

The turbulence and variable velocity associated with water flowing within a natural stream channel creates the conditions needed for an oil slick to break up into small droplets and mix in the water column, collide with sediment or organic detritus, and form OPA. This process is similar to what occurs due to wave action along a shoreline. The FluOil tool estimates how fast OPA travel downstream in rivers as well as when and where they may deposit. The FluOil tool relies on pre-existing channel hydraulic data along with user-specified OPA characteristics of size, settling velocity and critical shear stress to compute OPA transport. It is important to know where OPA are transported and accumulated for understanding potential impacts on drinking water intakes, burial of sensitive habitat beds, potential toxicity to benthic organisms, and prolonged sheening from resuspension and breakup. OPA tend to accumulate with fine-grained (silt and clay) sediment deposits (“mud” or “muck”) in backwater areas, oxbows, side channels, pools, and other slow-moving reaches of rivers during low flows. Deposited OPA can be resuspended during high flows, driving continued environmental impact concerns that may extend beyond typical oil spill response timelines.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/fs20253055","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Inland Oil Spill Preparedness Program, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Lake Superior State University, and Natural Resources Canada","usgsCitation":"Fitzpatrick, F., Roland, C., Vaughan, A., Zhu, Z., Soong, D., and Sortor, R., 2026, FluOil—A tool for estimating the transport and deposition of oil-particle aggregates in rivers: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2025–3055, 6 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20253055.","productDescription":"Report: 6 p.; Data Release","numberOfPages":"6","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-178930","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":36532,"text":"Central Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497094,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2025/3055/fs20253055.pdf","text":"Report","size":"2.04 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"FS 2025–3055"},{"id":497093,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2025/3055/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":497101,"rank":6,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P99MJ6MD","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"FluOil model and related datasets for Kalamazoo River, Michigan, oil spill—July 21 to October 31, 2010"},{"id":497100,"rank":5,"type":{"id":39,"text":"HTML Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/fs20253055/full","text":"Report","description":"FS 2025–3055 HTML"},{"id":497099,"rank":4,"type":{"id":34,"text":"Image Folder"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2025/3055/images"},{"id":497098,"rank":3,"type":{"id":31,"text":"Publication XML"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2025/3055/fs20253055.XML","linkFileType":{"id":8,"text":"xml"}}],"contact":"<p>Director, <a href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/upper-midwest-water-science-center\" data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/upper-midwest-water-science-center\">Upper Midwest Water Science Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>8505 Research Way<br>Middleton, WI&nbsp; 53562</p><p><a href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/contact\" data-mce-href=\"../contact\">Contact Pubs Warehouse</a></p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Why a FluOil Tool?</li><li>How Does FluOil Work?</li><li>Additional Information about FluOil Data Inputs</li><li>FluOil Tool Outputs</li><li>Adjustments for the Environment</li><li>Limitations and Constraints</li><li>Background on Oil-Particle Aggregates Transport and Deposition in Rivers</li><li>Why Care about Oil-Particle Aggregates in Rivers?</li><li>References Cited</li></ul>","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"publishedDate":"2026-01-07","noUsgsAuthors":false,"plainLanguageSummary":"<p>The FluOil tool helps oil spill planners and responders estimate how fast and far oiled sediment (called oil-particle aggregates [OPA]) can travel in rivers during an oil spill, and where it may settle out on the riverbed.

Predicted changes in climate are expected to impact watershed hydrologic regimes, and in turn, the sources and export of dissolved carbon from watersheds. Here, we utilize high resolution measurements of discharge and dissolved carbon concentration to examine how concentration-discharge (CQ) relationships vary seasonally and during high flow events over the main runoff season (May–October) in a temperate forested watershed in Southeast Alaska. Concentration-discharge relationships for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and alkalinity demonstrated strong seasonal patterns, with more linear relationships in May and June versus other months. Changing power law model slopes (</span><i>b</i><span>&nbsp;values; the exponent in a power law regression between runoff and carbon yields) indicated potentially shifting watershed sources (biogenic vs. geologic) and contrasting dominant flowpaths (shallow vs. deeper groundwater) for DOC and alkalinity over the sampling period.

In June through August, patterns in hysteresis index suggest that CQ relationships were altered when storms followed in close succession to each other. Together, these findings indicate that seasonal and antecedent flow conditions play a role in dissolved carbon export from forested watersheds. Understanding these dynamics, particularly during winter months, will become increasingly important as changes to hydroclimate impact riverine carbon export.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2025JG009090","usgsCitation":"Delbecq, C., Fellman, J.B., Bellmore, J.R., Whitney, E.J., Fitzgerald, K., Falke, J.A., 2026, Season and antecedent conditions impact concentration-discharge relationships for dissolved organic carbon and alkalinity in southeast Alaskan watershed: JGR Biogeosciences, v. 131, no. 1, e2025JG009090, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2025JG009090.","productDescription":"e2025JG009090, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-174690","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500587,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2025jg009090","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":500420,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Montana Creek","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -136.63915248759182,\n              59.21990475595436\n            ],\n            [\n              -136.63915248759182,\n              57.522914720234525\n            ],\n            [\n              -134.63466688093874,\n              57.522914720234525\n            ],\n            [\n              -134.63466688093874,\n              59.21990475595436\n            ],\n            [\n              -136.63915248759182,\n              59.21990475595436\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"131","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-01-06","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Delbecq, Claire","contributorId":337162,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Delbecq","given":"Claire","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6752,"text":"University of Alaska Fairbanks","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955990,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fellman, Jason B.","contributorId":366494,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fellman","given":"Jason","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":16298,"text":"University of Alaska Southeast","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":955991,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bellmore, J.

Advances in climate products, such as gridded datasets and downscaled projections, may be useful for quantifying freshwater habitat conditions and predicting climate change effects on fish. However, limited guidance exists for selecting climate products to develop indicators of freshwater habitat conditions that influence fish population dynamics. Here, we develop an approach for identifying streamflow and stream temperature models to address this need. We evaluated skill in predicted versus observed streamflow and stream temperature, with predictions depending on different models and gridded climate data as inputs. The best performing models were used in a case study exploring habitat conditions influencing Chinook salmon in the Yukon and Kuskokwim River basins, two remote high-latitude watersheds with few in situ habitat observations and recent salmon declines. Three modeled streamflow datasets had variable performance (median Nash–Sutcliffe efficiencies from 0.39 to 0.70). Three gridded temperature products differed in their ability to explain variation in weekly stream temperatures (median&nbsp;</span><i>r</i><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;from 0.42 to 0.76). We selected a single gridded air temperature dataset to compare two novel predictive stream temperature models, both of which had good accuracy (root mean squared error [RMSE] of 1.19 and 0.95°C). Stream temperature indicators calculated from modeled daily data, maximum temperatures during adult migration and cumulative temperatures during juvenile rearing, had high spatial correlation across tributaries within the Yukon and Kuskokwim River basins and showed significant warming over the past 40 years. Streamflow indicators calculated from modeled daily data, maximum flow during spawning and median flow during rearing, had few trends and were largely uncorrelated within the Yukon River basin and moderately correlated within the Kuskokwim River basin. Overall, we found that generic measures of model performance varied considerably, and it was important to consider the models best suited to our case study. For both streamflow and stream temperature, multiple high-performing models allowed estimation of ecologically relevant conditions affecting Chinook salmon. The approach we used to estimate local-scale habitat conditions has value to identify synchronous conditions that may influence multiple salmon populations under a changing subarctic climate.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecs2.70399","usgsCitation":"Shaftel, R., Feddern, M.L., McAfee, S.A., Schoen, E.R.,

We apply machine learning (ML) models to forecast streamflow drought 1–13 weeks ahead at 3,219 streamgages across the conterminous United States. We applied two ML methods (Long short-term memory neural networks; Light Gradient-Boosting Machine) and two benchmark models (persistence; Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) to predict weekly streamflow percentiles with independent models for each forecast horizon. ML models outperformed benchmarks in predicting continuous streamflow percentiles below 30%. ML models generally performed worse than persistence models for discrete classification (moderate, severe, extreme) but exceeded the benchmark models for drought onset/termination. Performance was better for less intense droughts and shorter horizons, with predictive power for 1–4 weeks for severe droughts (10% threshold). This work highlights challenges and opportunities to advance hydrological drought forecasting and supports a new experimental forecasting tool.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Frontiers Media","doi":"10.3389/frwa.2025.1709138","usgsCitation":"Hammond, J., Goodling, P.J., Diaz, J.A., Corson-Dosch, H.R., Heldmyer,

We compiled muscle and ovary Se and Hg concentration data from fishes captured in Lake Koocanusa—a North American reservoir receiving elevated Se and Hg inputs from coal mining operations in the Elk River Valley, Canada—to provide insights into the co-processing of Se and Hg within fish and among fish species, including how ecological or seasonal factors shift these distribution patterns.

The primary cause of mortality is 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ;&nbsp;</span><i>N</i><span>-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-</span><i>N</i><span>′-phenyl-</span><i>p</i><span>-phenylenediamine quinone)–an ozone transformation product that forms on all vehicle tires. Laboratory studies have shown that juvenile coho salmon are highly sensitive to 6PPDQ exposure. Unlike adults, juveniles reside in impacted watersheds year-round, including during the spring when 6PPDQ concentrations can frequently exceed lethal thresholds during storms. To assess the potential incidence of URMS in springtime rearing habitats for juvenile coho salmon, we conducted a paired water quality and toxicology study at Miller Creek, a runoff-impacted watershed in Normandy Park, WA, USA. Using a small field facility, three naïve groups of juvenile coho salmon (</span><i>N</i><span>&nbsp;= 720) were exposed to either creek water or groundwater (</span><i>N</i><span>&nbsp;= 120 per treatment per storm), across three spring storms while comparing water quality and mortality end points. In creek water during exposures, peak 6PPDQ concentrations reached 73–110 ng/L, exceeding reported median lethal concentrations (LC</span><sub>50</sub><span>) for coho salmon. Over each 24–73 h storm exposure period, ∼80% of Miller Creek-exposed juvenile salmon died. No mortality occurred among control fish exposed to groundwater. These results indicate previously unidentified mortality risks for juvenile life stages of coho salmon during spring storms, suggesting substantial and year-round water quality impediments to coho salmon health and recovery across roadway runoff-impacted spawning, rearing, and migratory habitats.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Chemical Society","doi":"10.1021/acs.est.5c13992","usgsCitation":"Brown, M.L., Ivy, N., Gonzalez, M., Greer, J.B., Hansen, J.D., Kolodziej, E., and McIntyre, J.K., 2026, Roadway runoff induced acute mortality in juvenile coho salmon during spring storm events: Environmental Science & Technology, v. 60, no. 2, p. 1723-1732, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c13992.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"1723","endPage":"1732","ipdsId":"IP-183827","costCenters":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":499328,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5c13992","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":499177,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","city":"Normandy Park","otherGeospatial":"Miller Creek","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.36249783623032,\n              47.448579913315115\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.36249783623032,\n              47.42927966039616\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.33175787382147,\n              47.42927966039616\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.33175787382147,\n              47.448579913315115\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.36249783623032,\n              47.448579913315115\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"60","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Brown, Marlee L.","contributorId":365693,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brown","given":"Marlee","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":87190,"text":"Center for Urban Waters, University of Washington Tacoma, University of Washington","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954620,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ivy, Nathan","contributorId":365694,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ivy","given":"Nathan","affiliations":[{"id":87191,"text":"Puyallup Research and Extension Center, Washington State University, Puyallup, WA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954621,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gonzalez, Melissa","contributorId":331459,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gonzalez","given":"Melissa","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":954622,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Greer, Justin Blaine 0000-0001-6660-9976","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6660-9976","contributorId":265183,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Greer","given":"Justin","email":"","middleInitial":"Blaine","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":954623,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Hansen, John D. 0000-0002-3006-2734","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3006-2734","contributorId":220725,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hansen","given":"John","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":954624,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Kolodziej, Edward","contributorId":146307,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kolodziej","given":"Edward","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":954625,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"McIntyre, Jenifer K.","contributorId":365695,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McIntyre","given":"Jenifer","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":87191,"text":"Puyallup Research and Extension Center, Washington State University, Puyallup, WA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954626,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

We combine a stream tracer injection and synoptic sampling study with data from shallow near-stream groundwater wells to estimate left-bank versus right-bank metal loading contributions at the 100-m spatial scale. The study was performed in the East Mancos River, a mountain headwater stream in Colorado, USA. The dominant source of elevated stream metal concentrations could be either groundwater infiltration through right-bank Doyle Mine waste piles or natural acid rock drainage from hydrothermally altered bedrock located mainly on the left bank. For the five metals of concern (Cu, Al, Zn, Cd, and Mn), we find that 15 % of the load contributed by diffuse groundwater inputs in the section potentially influenced by Doyle mine waste originates from the right bank. This right-bank potential mine contribution equates to only 3 % of the total watershed instream load for these metals. Furthermore, apparent&nbsp;</span><sup>3</sup><span>H/</span><sup>3</sup><span>He groundwater ages in segments contributing most of the right-bank metal loading are sufficiently old (9–12 yr) to suggest that infiltration through the waste piles, located only 140–180 m from the stream, is unlikely. Estimated potential Doyle mine loading contributions can therefore be considered maximum values.

Lotic systems are shaped by diverse physical processes, including geology, geomorphology, hydrology, and interactions with terrestrial processes. However, restoration practices often prioritize specific habitats or river forms without fully considering the underlying physical processes that support biological communities and ecosystem functions. In this paper, we synthesize studies that integrally examine geological and ecological processes across different scales and components of riverscapes, including geohydrological processes, which have been less investigated in riverscape studies. We begin by examining processes at broader spatial scales, including river–watershed and river–riparian interactions, and gradually narrow our focus to the dynamics that occur among habitats within river channels, through which we highlight the significance of conceptualizing rivers as dynamic “networks” rather than linear features. Finally, we identify both scientific and practical challenges that can be addressed to bridge the gap between basic-science implications and their implementation in riverscape restorations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/1440-1703.70028","usgsCitation":"Uno, H., Nakagawa, H., Ishiyama, N., Sakai, M., Mori, T., Terui, A., Scholl, E.A., Wohl, E., and Baxter, C.V., 2026, Bridging ecology and geosciences in riverscapes: Implications for process-based restoration: Ecological Research, v. 41, no. 1, e70028, 19 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1703.70028.","productDescription":"e70028, 19 p.","ipdsId":"IP-179877","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500819,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1703.70028","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":500669,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"41","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2026-01-04","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Uno, Hiromi","contributorId":367076,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Uno","given":"Hiromi","affiliations":[{"id":87535,"text":"Graduate School of Life Sciences, Tohoku University; 6-3 Aoba, Aramaki, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi, Japan, 980-0845","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956705,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Nakagawa, Hikaru","contributorId":367077,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nakagawa","given":"Hikaru","affiliations":[{"id":87536,"text":"Aqua Restoration Research Center, Public Works Research Institute; Kawashima-Kasada-machi, Kakamigahara, Gifu, Japan, 501-6021","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956706,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ishiyama, Nobuo","contributorId":367078,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ishiyama","given":"Nobuo","affiliations":[{"id":87537,"text":"Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University; N9 W9 Sapporo, Hokkaido 060–8589, Japan, 060-8589","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956707,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Sakai, Masaru","contributorId":367079,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sakai","given":"Masaru","affiliations":[{"id":87538,"text":"Fukushima Regional Collaborative Research Center, National Institute for Environmental Studies, 10-2 Fukasaku, Miharu, Tamura District, Fukushima 963-7700, Japan","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956708,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Mori, Terutaka","contributorId":367080,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mori","given":"Terutaka","affiliations":[{"id":87537,"text":"Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University; N9 W9 Sapporo, Hokkaido 060–8589, Japan, 060-8589","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956709,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Terui, Akira","contributorId":367081,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Terui","given":"Akira","affiliations":[{"id":87539,"text":"Department of Biology, University of North Carolina Greensboro, NC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956710,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Scholl, Eric Arthur 0000-0003-3028-9979","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3028-9979","contributorId":329480,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Scholl","given":"Eric","email":"","middleInitial":"Arthur","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":956711,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Wohl, Ellen E.","contributorId":313566,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wohl","given":"Ellen","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":6621,"text":"Colorado State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956712,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Baxter, Colden V.","contributorId":367082,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Baxter","given":"Colden","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":87542,"text":"Department of Biological Sciences, Idaho State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":956713,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

Major postfire flooding and debris-flow events can be more costly than the fire itself, causing dozens of fatalities and widespread damage (Chawner, 1934; Lancaster et al., 2021). Smaller events occur nearly every year in California and can locally damage structures and roads, affect water quality and storage, and result in injury or loss of life (e.g., Dow et al., 2024; Rodriguez, 2025; Swanson et al., 2024; Figure 1). To mitigate these threats, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed tools to assist local, state, and federal agencies in rapidly assessing postfire debris-flow risk across California’s diverse geology and geography. This article summarizes that effort and describes ongoing work by the USGS and partners to advance these methods and help California better prepare for future wildfires.","language":"English","publisher":"California Geological Survey","usgsCitation":"Kean, J.W., and Kostelnik, J., 2026, Helping California get ready for when the mud hits the fan: California

The river delivers water to 40 million people, irrigates approximately five million acres of farmland, supports a trillion-dollar economy, and supplies hydroelectric power to millions. Its drainage basin stretches across 250,000 square miles of diverse ecosystems, providing habitat for thousands of plant and wildlife species. However, increasing temperatures have altered the amount and timing of annual snowmelt and streamflow, exacerbating drought conditions and diminishing reservoir storage levels.

Assessing water composition across its watercourses is needed to identify major AMD contributors and potentially guide remediation efforts. An equilibrium-based mixing model was developed to simulate AMD pollutant load reductions and estimate the impact of selective restorations on water quality in the Odiel River, particularly at the planned Alcolea Reservoir near its outlet. Sampling under varying flow conditions (average vs. high flow) showed a reduction in acidity transport (from 54.0 to 42.5 ton/day), attributed to greater neutralization effects during high flows. Over 90&nbsp;% of metal-fluxes originate alone from the Riotinto (73.6&nbsp;%), Tharsis (14.5&nbsp;%), and San Telmo (5.00&nbsp;%) mining districts, among many other mines. While geochemical model estimates fit well with observed data (R</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.99), some deviations in non-conservative constituents (i.e. pH, Fe and Al) were observed (R</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.73–0.99), likely due to uncertainties in solubility constants and redox/Fe speciation. After evaluating model reliability, two reduction scenarios (50&nbsp;% and 100&nbsp;%) were applied to the three primary sources. Full removal of contamination could subtantially improve impounded reservoir water quality, with pH values of 4.93 and 7.64, and a net acidity between 8.75 and 4.63&nbsp;mg/L eq.

The efficacy of practices may be improved by promoting their continued use by landowners (i.e., persistence) after cost-share contracts with government agencies end. Persistence rates and their drivers are typically unknown. Therefore, we mail-surveyed 889 landowners to understand persistence in grazing practices in southwest Virginia. Survey responses were analyzed quantitatively using logistic regression and qualitatively via coding. We found that persistence rates for vegetative practices, cattle-exclusion fencing, off-stream watering structures, and pasture management were 74%, 84%, 94%, and 94%, respectively. Both the quantitative and qualitative analyses indicated that landowner cognitions (i.e., attitudes toward practices, environment, and agencies), environmental motivations, and practice durability influence persistence. Our results highlight that persistence could be encouraged by: (1) providing targeted messaging that demonstrates persistence benefits and aligns with landowners' motivations, (2) ensuring that responsibility to maintain practices is transferred during land-tenure changes, and (3) allocating more agency funding to practice maintenance.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Conservation Biology","doi":"10.1111/csp2.70201","usgsCitation":"Mouser, J.B., Dayer, A.A., Ciparis, S., Bottenfield, S., and Angermeier, P., 2025, Landowners' cognitions and motivations coupled with practice durability influence persistence in grazing agricultural conservation practices in southwest Virginia: Conservation Science and Practice, e70201, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.70201.","productDescription":"e70201, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-165843","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498844,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":498939,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.70201","text":"Publisher Index Page"}],"country":"United States","state":"Virginia","otherGeospatial":"southwest Virginia","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -82.90759974813469,\n              36.538485100358656\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.74021235758092,\n              36.86345360817941\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.86094324712056,\n              37.15010067210214\n            ],\n            [\n              -83.04433182206326,\n              36.866145988606135\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.90759974813469,\n              36.538485100358656\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"8","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-29","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Mouser, Joshua B.","contributorId":365374,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Mouser","given":"Joshua","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":12694,"text":"Virginia Tech","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954234,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dayer, Ashley A.","contributorId":365375,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dayer","given":"Ashley","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":12694,"text":"Virginia Tech","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954235,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ciparis, Serena","contributorId":203242,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ciparis","given":"Serena","affiliations":[{"id":16956,"text":"US Fish & Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954236,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bottenfield, Sara","contributorId":365376,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bottenfield","given":"Sara","affiliations":[{"id":87133,"text":"Department of Conservation and Recreation","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954237,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Angermeier, Paul L. 0000-0003-2864-170X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2864-170X","contributorId":204519,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Angermeier","given":"Paul L.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":954238,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

These approaches might enable more efficient use of remote sensing methods by resource management agencies. Our results suggest that bathymetric mapping along the turquoise-colored river we examined was not only feasible but highly accurate (</span><span class=\"math\"><span id=\"MathJax-Element-1-Frame\" class=\"MathJax_SVG\" data-mathml=\"&lt;math xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML&quot;&gt;&lt;msup is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;mrow is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;mi is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;R&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;mn is=&quot;true&quot;&gt;2&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/msup&gt;&lt;/math&gt;\"></span></span><span> <i>R</i><sup>2 </sup>up to 0.94) for both types of image data. Algorithms that use paired observations of depth and reflectance to train depth retrieval models were the most accurate, with errors on the order of 15%–20% and little or no bias. Alternative techniques based on hydraulic and statistical concepts also led to strong agreement between predicted and observed depths but were more susceptible to systematic biases toward under- or over-estimation of depth. In contrast to clear-flowing streams, bathymetric mapping in this environment was enabled by a direct relationship between the depth and brightness of the water due to scattering by suspended sediment. In selecting an appropriate depth retrieval method, a compromise might need to be reached between the level of field effort invested and the accuracy of the resulting image-derived bathymetry. Standalone software for implementing these techniques is freely available.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.geomorph.2025.110140","usgsCitation":"Legleiter, C.J., Leonard, C.M., Burger, P.A., Pletcher, A.G., and Kinzel, P.J., 2026, Toward an efficient framework for remote sensing of river bathymetry: Comparing sensors and algorithms on an inaccessible proglacial river in Alaska: Geomorphology, v. 495, 110140, 24 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2025.110140.","productDescription":"110140, 24 p.","ipdsId":"IP-179757","costCenters":[{"id":37786,"text":"WMA - Observing Systems Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498513,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United states","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Mulchatna River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -154.00824680332022,\n              60.789825438561536\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.09788058802903,\n              60.789825438561536\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.09788058802903,\n              60.770469283939605\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.00824680332022,\n              60.770469283939605\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.00824680332022,\n              60.789825438561536\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"495","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-27","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Legleiter, Carl J. 0000-0003-0940-8013 cjl@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0940-8013","contributorId":169002,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Legleiter","given":"Carl","email":"cjl@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":37778,"text":"WMA - Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953420,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Leonard, Christina M. 0000-0002-5096-8103","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5096-8103","contributorId":360578,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Leonard","given":"Christina","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":36189,"text":"National Park Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953421,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Burger, Paul A. 0009-0005-7135-8290","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0005-7135-8290","contributorId":360579,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Burger","given":"Paul","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":36189,"text":"National Park Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953422,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Pletcher, Addison G. 0009-0002-3775-0852","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0002-3775-0852","contributorId":360580,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Pletcher","given":"Addison","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":36189,"text":"National Park Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953423,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kinzel, Paul J. 0000-0002-6076-9730 pjkinzel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6076-9730","contributorId":743,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kinzel","given":"Paul","email":"pjkinzel@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":37778,"text":"WMA - Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":191,"text":"Colorado Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953424,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

In California, USA, the size, frequency, and severity of wildfires has greatly increased over the last few decades. Understanding the effects of fire on aquatic ecosystem health and human land use has become increasingly important in managing the interface of the natural and urban landscape. In this study, we used a before–after control–impact (BACI) study design to test for differences in bed sediment chemistry, water chemistry, benthic algal biomass, and benthic macroinvertebrate communities between burned and unburned (control) watersheds, pre- and post-fire, using data collected before and after California’s 2017 Atlas, Nuns, and Tubbs wildfires. We found a treatment effect (burned vs control) on water chemistry, sediment trace-metal concentrations, algae, and community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates, but we found no evidence of an interaction between time period (pre- vs post-fire) and treatment. Both the difference in environmental factors between our control and burned sample sites and the proximity and degree of wildfire burn severity may have contributed to the results of this BACI study. Our results also highlight the importance of including control sites when assessing the effects of discrete disturbances, such as wildfire, to avoid spurious conclusions of disturbance effects that may be attributable to innate ecological variability.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Chicago Press Journals","doi":"10.1086/738617","usgsCitation":"Wulff, M.L., May, J.T., Huntsman, B., Waite, I.R., and Brown, L.M., 2026, Using a BACI design to assess stream ecology and chemistry response after wildfire: Freshwater Science, v. 45, no. 1, p. 1-17, https://doi.org/10.1086/738617.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"17","ipdsId":"IP-120766","costCenters":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":501881,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"45","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-23","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wulff, Marissa L. 0000-0003-0121-9066","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0121-9066","contributorId":229534,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wulff","given":"Marissa","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":958089,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"May, Jason T.","contributorId":368915,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"May","given":"Jason","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":34135,"text":"USGS (deceased)","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958090,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Huntsman, Brock 0000-0003-4090-1949","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4090-1949","contributorId":223101,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Huntsman","given":"Brock","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":958091,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Waite, Ian R. 0000-0003-1681-6955 iwaite@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1681-6955","contributorId":616,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Waite","given":"Ian","email":"iwaite@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":958092,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Brown, Larry M.","contributorId":184044,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brown","given":"Larry","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":958093,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
