Final report to the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee and Yellowstone Ecosystem Subcommittee","docAbstract":"<p>The Yellowstone grizzly bear (<i>Ursus arctos</i>) was listed as a threatened species in 1975 (Federal Register 40 FR:31734-31736). Since listing, recovery efforts have focused on increasing population size, improving habitat security, managing bear mortalities, and reducing bear-human conflicts. The Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC; partnership of federal and state agencies responsible for grizzly bear recovery in the lower 48 states) and its Yellowstone Ecosystem Subcommitte (YES; federal, state, county, and tribal partners charged with recovery of grizzly bears in the Greater Yelowston Ecosystem [GYE]) tasked the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team to provide information and further research relevant to three concerns&nbsp;arising from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals November 2011 decision: 1) the ability of grizzly bears as omnivores to find alternative foods to whitebark pine seeds; 2) literature to support their conclusions; and 3) the non-intuitive biological reality that impacts can occur to individuals without causing the overall population to decline. Specifically, the IGBC and YES requested a comprehensive synthesis of the current state of knowledge regarding whitebark pinbe decline and individual and population-level responses of grizzly bears to changing food resources in the GYE. This research was particularly relevant to grizzly bear conservation given changes in the population trajectory observed during the last decade.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","usgsCitation":"Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, van Manen, F.T., Costello, C., Haroldson, M.A., Bjornlie, D., Ebinger, M.R., Gunther, K.A., Mahalovich, M.F., Thompson, D.J., Higgs, M.D., Irvine, K.M., Legg, K., Tyers, D.B., Landenburger, L., Cain, S.L., Frey, K.L., Aber, B.C., and Schwartz, C.C., 2013, Response of Yellowstone grizzly bears to changes in food resources:  A synthesis.

Populations of greater sage-grouse <i>Centrocercus urophasianus</i> have declined across their range in western North America. We studied cause-specific mortality of radio-marked sage-grouse in Eureka County, Nevada, USA, during two seasons, nesting (2008-2012) and fall (2008-2010), when survival was known to be lower compared to other times of the year. We used known-fate and cumulative incidence function models to estimate weekly survival rates and cumulative risk of cause-specific mortalities, respectively. These methods allowed us to account for temporal variation in sample size and staggered entry of marked individuals into the sample to obtain robust estimates of survival and cause-specific mortality. We monitored 376 individual sage-grouse during the course of our study, and investigated 87 deaths. Predation was the major source of mortality, and accounted for 90% of all mortalities during our study. During the nesting season (1 April - 31 May), the cumulative risk of predation by raptors (0.10; 95% CI: 0.05-0.16) and mammals (0.08; 95% CI: 0.03-013) was relatively equal. In the fall (15 August - 31 October), the cumulative risk of mammal predation was greater (M<sub>(mam)</sub> = 0.12; 95% CI: 0.04-0.19) than either predation by raptors (M<sub>(rap)</sub> = 0.05; 95% CI: 0.00-0.10) or hunting harvest (M<sub>(hunt)</sub> = 0.02; 95% CI: 0.0-0.06). During both seasons, we observed relatively few additional sources of mortality (e.g. collision) and observed no evidence of disease-related mortality (e.g. West Nile Virus). In general, we found little evidence for intraseasonal temporal variation in survival, suggesting that the nesting and fall seasons represent biologically meaningful time intervals with respect to sage-grouse survival.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Wildlife Biology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Nordic Board for Wildlife Research","doi":"10.2981/13-001","usgsCitation":"Blomberg, E.J., Gibson, D., Sedinger, J.S., Casazza, M.L., and Coates, P.S., 2013, Intraseasonal variation in survival and probable causes of mortality in greater sage-grouse <i>Centrocercus urophasianus</i>: Wildlife Biology, v. 19, no. 4, p. 347-357, https://doi.org/10.2981/13-001.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"347","endPage":"357","numberOfPages":"11","ipdsId":"IP-042803","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473409,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.2981/13-001","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":294257,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":294256,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.2981/13-001"}],"country":"United States","state":"Nevada","county":"Eureka County","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -116.601,39.1612 ], [ -116.601,41.0004 ], [ -115.7949,41.0004 ], [ -115.7949,39.1612 ], [ -116.601,39.1612 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"19","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"541d459de4b0f68901ec30b2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Blomberg, Erik J.","contributorId":17543,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Blomberg","given":"Erik","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":7063,"text":"University of Maine","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":501961,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gibson, Daniel","contributorId":94984,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gibson","given":"Daniel","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6621,"text":"Colorado State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":501963,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Sedinger, James S.","contributorId":84861,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sedinger","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":12742,"text":"University of Nevada Reno","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":501962,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Casazza, Michael L. 0000-0002-5636-735X mike_casazza@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5636-735X","contributorId":2091,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Casazza","given":"Michael","email":"mike_casazza@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":501959,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Coates, Peter S. 0000-0003-2672-9994 pcoates@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2672-9994","contributorId":3263,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Coates","given":"Peter","email":"pcoates@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":501960,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Past studies typically consider only pairwise interactions between preferred and less preferred seed species, whereas rangeland seedings are likely to contain more than 2 seed species, potentially leading to complex interactions. We examined how the relative proportion of seeds in a 3-species polyculture changes rodent seed selectivity (i.e., removal) and indirect interactions among seeds. We presented 2 rodent species, Peromyscus maniculatus (deer mice) and Perognathus parvus (pocket mice), in arenas with 3-species seed mixtures that varied in the proportion of a highly preferred, moderately preferred, and least preferred seed species, based on preferences determined in this study. We then conducted a field experiment in a pocket mouse—dominated ecosystem with the same 3-species seed mixtures in both “treated” (reduced shrub and increased forb cover) and “untreated” shrubsteppe. In the arena experiment, we found that rodents removed more of the highly preferred seed when the proportions of all 3 seeds were equal. Moderately preferred seeds experienced increased removal when the least preferred seed was in highest proportion. Removal of the least preferred seed increased when the highly preferred seed was in highest proportion. In the field experiment, results were similar to those from the arena experiment and did not differ between treated and untreated shrubsteppe areas. Though our results suggest that 3-species mixtures induce complex interactions among seeds, managers applying these results to restoration efforts should carefully consider the rodent community present and the potential fate of removed seeds.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Western North American Naturalist","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"BioOne","doi":"10.3398/064.073.0415","usgsCitation":"Beard, K., Faulhaber, C.A., Howe, F.P., and Edwards, T.C., 2013, Rodent-Mediated Interactions Among Seed Species of Differing Quality in a Shrubsteppe Ecosystem: Western North American Naturalist, v. 73, no. 4, p. 426-441, https://doi.org/10.3398/064.073.0415.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"426","endPage":"441","ipdsId":"IP-034262","costCenters":[{"id":609,"text":"Utah Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":283866,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":283865,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.3398/064.073.0415"}],"country":"United States","state":"Utah","county":"Rich County","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -111.5102,41.1438 ], [ -111.5102,42.0014 ], [ -111.0458,42.0014 ], [ -111.0458,41.1438 ], [ -111.5102,41.1438 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"73","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd711fe4b0b290851077a1","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Beard, Karen H.","contributorId":14296,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Beard","given":"Karen H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":478727,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Faulhaber, Craig A.","contributorId":48865,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Faulhaber","given":"Craig","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":478729,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Howe, Frank P.","contributorId":26621,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Howe","given":"Frank","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":478728,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Edwards, Thomas C.

The objectives of this study were two-fold: (1) to determine if Coho Salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch were rearing in estuarine habitats, and (2) to characterize and compare the body length, age, condition, and duration and timing of estuarine occupancy of juvenile Coho Salmon between the two contrasting estuaries. We examined use of estuary habitats with analysis of microchemistry and microstructure of sagittal otoliths in two watersheds of south-central Alaska. Juvenile Coho Salmon were classified as estuary residents or nonresidents (recent estuary immigrants) based on otolith Sr : Ca ratios and counts of daily growth increments on otoliths. The estuaries differed in water source (glacial versus snowmelt hydrographs) and in relative estuarine and watershed area. Juvenile Coho Salmon with evidence of estuary rearing were greater in body length and condition than individuals lacking evidence of estuarine rearing. Coho Salmon captured in the glacial estuary had greater variability in body length and condition, and younger age-classes predominated the catch compared with the nearby snowmelt-fed, smaller estuary. Estuary-rearing fish in the glacial estuary arrived later and remained longer (39 versus 24 d of summer growth) during the summer than did fish using the snowmelt estuary. Finally, we observed definitive patterns of overwintering in estuarine and near shore environments in both estuaries. Evidence of estuary rearing and overwintering with differences in fish traits among contrasting estuary types refute the notion that estuaries function as only staging or transitional habitats in the early life history of Coho Salmon.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Transactions of the American Fisheries Society","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis Online","doi":"10.1080/00028487.2013.815660","usgsCitation":"Hoem Neher, T.D., Rosenberger, A.E., Zimmerman, C.E., Walker, C.M., and Baird, S.J., 2013, Estuarine environments as rearing habitats for juvenile Coho Salmon in contrasting south-central Alaska watersheds: Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, v. 142, no. 6, p. 1481-1494, https://doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2013.815660.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"1481","endPage":"1494","ipdsId":"IP-045003","costCenters":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":286897,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2013.815660"},{"id":286902,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Kenai Peninsula","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -152.09,59.16 ], [ -152.09,60.92 ], [ -148.25,60.92 ], [ -148.25,59.16 ], [ -152.09,59.16 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"142","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-09-20","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5368b2efe4b059f7e8288336","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hoem Neher, Tammy D.","contributorId":48104,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hoem Neher","given":"Tammy","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":477886,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Rosenberger, Amanda E. 0000-0002-5520-8349 arosenberger@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5520-8349","contributorId":5581,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosenberger","given":"Amanda","email":"arosenberger@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":396,"text":"Missouri Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":477884,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Zimmerman, Christian E. 0000-0002-3646-0688 czimmerman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3646-0688","contributorId":410,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zimmerman","given":"Christian","email":"czimmerman@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":120,"text":"Alaska Science Center Water","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":477883,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Walker, Coowe M.","contributorId":96182,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Walker","given":"Coowe","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":477887,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Baird, Steven J.","contributorId":12375,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Baird","given":"Steven","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":477885,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

We develop an iterative technique for determining an efficient measurement strategy.

A major challenge for local government officials and decision makers is to translate the potential global effects of climate change into actionable and cost-effective adaptation and mitigation strategies at county and municipal scales. A MODFLOW process is used to represent sub-grid scale hydrology in urban settings to help address these issues. Coupled interception, surface water, depression, and unsaturated zone storage are represented. A two-dimensional diffusive wave approximation is used to represent overland flow. Three different options for representing infiltration and recharge are presented. Additional features include structure, barrier, and culvert flow between adjacent cells, specified stage boundaries, critical flow boundaries, source/sink surface-water terms, and the bi-directional runoff to MODFLOW Surface-Water Routing process.

Each rhyolite is a member of the bimodal basalt-rhyolite assemblage associated with extensional tectonics that produced the Basin and Range province and Rio Grande rift, an evolving pattern of closed drainage basins, and geothermal energy or mineral resources.\n\nResults from the 0.8 Ma Bishop tuff (geothermal) in California, 1.3 to 1.6 Ma Cerro Toledo and Upper Bandelier tephra (geothermal) and 27.9 Ma Taylor Creek rhyolite (Sn) in New Mexico, 21.7 Ma Spor Mountain tuff (Be, U, F) and 24.6 Ma Pine Grove tuff (Mo) in Utah, and 27.6 Ma Hideaway Park tuff (Mo) in Colorado support the following conclusions. Melt inclusions in quartz phenocrysts from rhyolite tuffs associated with hydrothermal deposits of Sn, Mo, and Be are extremely enriched in Li (1,000s of ppm); those from Spor Mountain have the highest Li abundance yet recorded (max 5,200 ppm, median 3,750 ppm). Forty-five to 98% of the Li present in pre-eruptive magma was lost to the environment from these rhyolite tuffs. The amount of Li lost from the small volumes (1–10 km3) of Li-enriched rhyolite deposited in closed basins is sufficient to produce world-class Li brine resources. After each eruption, meteoric water leaches Li from tuff, which drains into playas, where it is concentrated by evaporation. The localized occurrence of Li-enriched rhyolites may explain why brines in arid lacustrine basins seldom have economic concentrations of Li.\n\nConsidering that hydrothermal deposits of Sn, Mo, Be, U, and F may indicate potential for Li brines in nearby basins, we surmise that the world’s largest Li brine resource in the Salar de Uyuni (10 Mt) received Li from nearby rhyolite tuffs in the Bolivian tin belt.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Economic Geology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Society of Economic Geologists","doi":"10.2113/econgeo.108.7.1691","usgsCitation":"Hofstra, A.H., Todorov, T., Mercer, C., Adams, D., and Marsh, E., 2013, Silicate melt inclusion evidence for extreme pre-eruptive enrichment and post-eruptive depletion of lithium in silicic volcanic rocks of the western United States: implications for the origin of lithium-rich brines: Economic Geology, v. 108, no. 7, p. 1691-1701, https://doi.org/10.2113/econgeo.108.7.1691.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"1691","endPage":"1701","numberOfPages":"11","ipdsId":"IP-045184","costCenters":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":282037,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":282036,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.2113/econgeo.108.7.1691"}],"country":"United States","state":"California;Colorado;New Mexico;Utah","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -124.53,31.31 ], [ -124.53,41.99 ], [ -102.04,41.99 ], [ -102.04,31.31 ], [ -124.53,31.31 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"108","issue":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-09-30","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd72b4e4b0b290851087e4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hofstra, Albert H. 0000-0002-2450-1593 ahofstra@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2450-1593","contributorId":1302,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hofstra","given":"Albert","email":"ahofstra@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":489903,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Todorov, T.I.","contributorId":10995,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Todorov","given":"T.I.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":489904,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Mercer, C.N.","contributorId":55738,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mercer","given":"C.N.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":489907,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Adams, D.T.","contributorId":44439,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Adams","given":"D.T.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":489906,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Marsh, E.E.","contributorId":16628,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Marsh","given":"E.E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":489905,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Changes in land use, sediment supply, river flow, storminess, and sea level alter the layout of tidal channels, intertidal flats, and marsh plains; these elements define wetland complexes. Diagnostically, measurements of net sediment fluxes through tidal channels are high-temporal resolution, spatially integrated quantities that indicate (1) whether a complex is stable over seasonal timescales and (2) what mechanisms are leading to that state. We estimated sediment fluxes through tidal channels draining wetland complexes on the Blackwater and Transquaking Rivers, Maryland, USA. While the Blackwater complex has experienced decades of degradation and been largely converted to open water, the Transquaking complex has persisted as an expansive, vegetated marsh. The measured net export at the Blackwater complex (1.0 kg/s or 0.56 kg/m<sup>2</sup>/yr over the landward marsh area) was caused by northwesterly winds, which exported water and sediment on the subtidal timescale; tidally forced net fluxes were weak and precluded landward transport of suspended sediment from potential seaward sources. Though wind forcing also exported sediment at the Transquaking complex, strong tidal forcing and proximity to a turbidity maximum led to an import of sediment (0.031 kg/s or 0.70 kg/m<sup>2</sup>/yr). This resulted in a spatially averaged accretion of 3.9 mm/yr, equaling the regional relative sea level rise. Our results suggest that in areas where seaward sediment supply is dominant, seaward wetlands may be more capable of withstanding sea level rise over the short term than landward wetlands. We propose a conceptual model to determine a complex's tendency toward stability or instability based on sediment source, wetland channel location, and transport mechanisms. Wetlands with a reliable portfolio of sources and transport mechanisms appear better suited to offset natural and anthropogenic loss.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1002/jgrf.20143","usgsCitation":"Ganju, N., Nidzieko, N.J., and Kirwan, M., 2013, Inferring tidal wetland stability from channel sediment fluxes: observations and a conceptual model: Journal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface, v. 118, no. 4, p. 2045-2058, https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrf.20143.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"2045","endPage":"2058","numberOfPages":"14","ipdsId":"IP-049087","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473411,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://scholarworks.wm.edu/vimsarticles/1405","text":"External Repository"},{"id":286998,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":286992,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jgrf.20143"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maryl","otherGeospatial":"Blackwater River;Transquaking River","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -76.195,38.323 ], [ -76.195,38.462 ], [ -75.910,38.462 ], [ -75.910,38.323 ], [ -76.195,38.323 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"118","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-10-07","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"536ca76ce4b060efff280db9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ganju, Neil K. 0000-0002-1096-0465","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1096-0465","contributorId":93543,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ganju","given":"Neil K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":493498,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Nidzieko, Nicholas J.","contributorId":91018,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nidzieko","given":"Nicholas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":493497,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kirwan, Matthew L. 0000-0002-0658-3038","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0658-3038","contributorId":84060,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kirwan","given":"Matthew L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":493496,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The present study surveys the frequency with which ARs have played a critical role as a common cause of the end of droughts on the West Coast. This question was based on the observation that, in most cases, droughts end abruptly as a result of the arrival of an especially wet month or, more exactly, a few very large storms. This observation is documented using both Palmer Drought Severity Index and 6-month Standardized Precipitation Index measures of drought occurrence for climate divisions across the conterminous United States from 1895 to 2010. When the individual storm sequences that contributed most to the wet months that broke historical West Coast droughts from 1950 to 2010 were evaluated, 33%–74% of droughts were broken by the arrival of landfalling AR storms. In the Pacific Northwest, 60%–74% of all persistent drought endings have been brought about by the arrival of AR storms. In California, about 33%–40% of all persistent drought endings have been brought about by landfalling AR storms, with more localized low pressure systems responsible for many of the remaining drought breaks.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Hydrometeorology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","doi":"10.1175/JHM-D-13-02.1","usgsCitation":"Dettinger, M., 2013, Atmospheric rivers as drought busters on the U.S. west coast: Journal of Hydrometeorology, v. 14, no. 6, p. 1721-1732, https://doi.org/10.1175/JHM-D-13-02.1.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"1721","endPage":"1732","numberOfPages":"12","ipdsId":"IP-045231","costCenters":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473412,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1175/jhm-d-13-02.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":280893,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":280892,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1175/JHM-D-13-02.1"}],"country":"United States","state":"California;Oregon;Washington","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -125.38,32.53 ], [ -125.38,48.9 ], [ -114.13,48.9 ], [ -114.13,32.53 ], [ -125.38,32.53 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"14","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-11-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd4e6be4b0b290850f2165","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dettinger, Michael D. 0000-0002-7509-7332","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7509-7332","contributorId":31743,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dettinger","given":"Michael D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":477760,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

We analyzed five years of soil CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes along a wetland gradient that varied in permafrost and soil moisture conditions. We predicted that communities with permafrost would have reduced ecosystem respiration (ER) but greater temperature sensitivity than communities without permafrost. These predictions were partially supported. The colder communities underlain by shallow permafrost had lower ecosystem respiration (ER) than communities with greater active layer thickness. However, the apparent Q<sub>10</sub> of monthly averaged ER was similar in most of the vegetation communities except the rich fen, which had smaller Q<sub>10</sub> values. Across the gradient there was a negative relationship between water table position and apparent Q<sub>10</sub>, showing that ER was more temperature sensitive under drier soil conditions. We explored whether root respiration could account for differences in ER between two adjacent communities (sedge marsh and rich fen), which corresponded to the highest and lowest ER, respectively. Despite differences in root respiration rates, roots contributed equally (~40%) to ER in both communities. Also, despite similar plant biomass, ER in the rich fen was positively related to root biomass, while ER in the sedge marsh appeared to be related more to vascular green area. Our results suggest that ER across this wetland gradient was temperature-limited, until conditions became so wet that respiration became oxygen-limited and influenced less by temperature. But even in sites with similar hydrology and thaw depth, ER varied significantly likely based on factors such as soil redox status and vegetation composition.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Environmental Research Letters","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"IOP Publishing","doi":"10.1088/1748-9326/8/4/045029","usgsCitation":"McConnell, N.A., Turetsky, M.R., McGuire, A., Kane, E.S., Waldrop, M.P., and Harden, J.W., 2013, Controls on ecosystem and root respiration across a permafrost and wetland gradient in interior Alaska: Environmental Research Letters, v. 8, no. 4, 11 p., https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/8/4/045029.","productDescription":"11 p.","numberOfPages":"11","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-046002","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473413,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/8/4/045029","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":281017,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":281015,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/8/4/045029"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -150.369,64.1106 ], [ -150.369,65.5469 ], [ -144.9175,65.5469 ], [ -144.9175,64.1106 ], [ -150.369,64.1106 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"8","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd532be4b0b290850f4fad","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McConnell, Nicole A.","contributorId":63312,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McConnell","given":"Nicole","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484772,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Turetsky, Merritt R.","contributorId":80980,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Turetsky","given":"Merritt","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484773,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McGuire, A.

The master plan proposes a combination of restoration efforts including shoreline protection, marsh creation, sediment diversions, and ridge, barrier island, and hydrological restoration. Coastal restoration projects, particularly the large-scale diversions of fresh water from the Mississippi River, needed to supply sediment to an eroding coast potentially impact oyster populations and oyster habitat. An oyster habitat suitability index model is presented that evaluates the effects of a proposed sediment and freshwater diversion into Lower Breton Sound. Voluminous freshwater, needed to suspend and broadly distribute river sediment, will push optimal salinities for oysters seaward and beyond many of the existing reefs. Implementation and operation of the Lower Breton Sound diversion structure as proposed would render about 6,173 ha of hard bottom immediately east of the Mississippi River unsuitable for the sustained cultivation of oysters. If historical harvests are to be maintained in this region, a massive and unprecedented effort to relocate private leases and restore oyster bottoms would be required. Habitat suitability index model results indicate that the appropriate location for such efforts are to the east and north of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Shellfish Research","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"National Shellfisheries Association","doi":"10.2983/035.032.0302","usgsCitation":"Soniat, T.M., Conzelmann, C.P., Byrd, J.D., Roszell, D.P., Bridevaux, J.L., Suir, K.J., and Colley, S.B., 2013, Predicting the effects of proposed Mississippi River diversions on oyster habitat quality; application of an oyster habitat suitability index model: Journal of Shellfish Research, v. 32, no. 3, p. 629-638, https://doi.org/10.2983/035.032.0302.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"629","endPage":"638","numberOfPages":"10","ipdsId":"IP-048870","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473414,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.2983/035.032.0302","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":280732,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":280731,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.2983/035.032.0302"}],"country":"United States","state":"Louisiana","otherGeospatial":"Breton Sound;Mississippi River","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -90.75,29.0 ], [ -90.75,30.75 ], [ -88.25,30.75 ], [ -88.25,29.0 ], [ -90.75,29.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"32","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd6c66e4b0b290851048ad","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Soniat, Thomas M.","contributorId":11109,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Soniat","given":"Thomas","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484437,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Conzelmann, Craig P. 0000-0002-4227-8719","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4227-8719","contributorId":92137,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Conzelmann","given":"Craig","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":484440,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Byrd, Jason D. byrdj@usgs.gov","contributorId":4893,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Byrd","given":"Jason","email":"byrdj@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":484435,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Roszell, Dustin P.","contributorId":16311,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Roszell","given":"Dustin","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484438,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Bridevaux, Joshua L.","contributorId":103567,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bridevaux","given":"Joshua","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":484441,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Suir, Kevin J. 0000-0003-1570-9648 suirk@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1570-9648","contributorId":4894,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Suir","given":"Kevin","email":"suirk@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":484436,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Colley, Susan B.","contributorId":36844,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Colley","given":"Susan","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484439,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

For example, studies of the anisotropic structure of the Earth’s mantle through SKS‐splitting measurements (Long et al., 2009), constraints on core–mantle electromagnetic coupling from torsional normal‐mode measurements (Dumberry and Mound, 2008), and models of three‐dimensional (3D) velocity variations from surface waves (Ekström et al., 1997) rely on accurate sensor orientation. Unfortunately, numerous results indicate that this critical parameter is often subject to significant error (Laske, 1995; Laske and Masters, 1996; Yoshizawa et al., 1999; Schulte‐Pelkum et al., 2001; Larson and Ekström, 2002).</p>\n<br/>\n<p>For the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS; ANSS Technical Integration Committee, 2002), the Global Seismographic Network (GSN; Butler et al., 2004), and many other networks, sensor orientation is typically determined by a field engineer during installation. Successful emplacement of a seismic instrument requires identifying true north, transferring a reference line, and measuring the orientation of the instrument relative to the reference line. Such an exercise is simple in theory, but there are many complications in practice.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>There are four commonly used methods for determining true north at the ANSS and GSN stations operated by the USGS Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory (ASL), including gyroscopic, astronomical, Global Positioning System (GPS), and magnetic field techniques. A particular method is selected based on site conditions (above ground, below ground, availability of astronomical observations, and so on) and in the case of gyroscopic methods, export restrictions. Once a north line has been determined, it must be translated to the sensor location. For installations in mines or deep vaults, this step can include tracking angles through the one or more turns in the access tunnel leading to the vault (e.g., GSN station WCI in Wyandotte Cave, Indiana). Finally, the third source of error comes from the ability of field engineers to orient the sensor relative to the reference line.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>In order to quantify bounds on the errors in each step in the orientation process, we conducted a series of tests at the ASL using twelve GSN and ANSS field engineers. The results from this exercise allow us to estimate upper bounds on the precision of our ability to orient instruments, as well as identify the sources of error in the procedures. We are also able to identify systematic bias of various true‐north‐finding methods relative to one another. Although we are unable to estimate the absolute accuracy of our orientation measurements due to our inability to identify true north without some error, the agreement between independent methods for finding true north provides confidence in the different approaches, assuming no systematic bias. Finally, our study neglects orientation errors that are beyond the control of the field engineer during a station visit. These additional errors can arise from deviations in the sensitive axes of the instruments relative to the case markings, processing errors (Holcomb, 2002) when comparing horizontal orientations relative to other sensors (e.g., borehole installations), and deviations of the sensitive axes of instruments from true orthogonality (e.g., instruments with separate modules such as the Streckeisen STS‐1).</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Seismological Research Letters","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","publisherLocation":"El Cerrito, CA","doi":"10.1785/0220130072","usgsCitation":"Ringler, A.T., Hutt, C.R., Persfield, K., and Gee, L., 2013, Seismic Station Installation Orientation Errors at ANSS and IRIS/USGS Stations: Seismological Research Letters, v. 84, no. 6, p. 926-931, https://doi.org/10.1785/0220130072.","productDescription":"6 p.","startPage":"926","endPage":"931","numberOfPages":"6","ipdsId":"IP-045633","costCenters":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":294160,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":294159,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1785/0220130072"}],"volume":"84","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"541bf456e4b0e96537ddf87b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ringler, Adam T. 0000-0002-9839-4188 aringler@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9839-4188","contributorId":3946,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ringler","given":"Adam","email":"aringler@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":501519,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hutt, Charles R. 0000-0001-9033-9195 bhutt@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9033-9195","contributorId":1622,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hutt","given":"Charles","email":"bhutt@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":501517,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Persfield, K.","contributorId":87078,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Persfield","given":"K.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":501520,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gee, Lind S. lgee@usgs.gov","contributorId":2247,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gee","given":"Lind S.","email":"lgee@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":501518,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Badgers excavated burrows more often when in areas recently used by a ferret, suggesting that badgers hunt ferrets or steal prey from ferrets, or both. We also conducted an analysis of survival studies for ferrets and Siberian polecats (<i>M. eversmanii</i>) released onto prairie dog colonies. This polecat is the ferret's ecological equivalent but evolved without a digging predator. Badgers accounted for 30.0% of predation on polecats and 5.5% of predation on ferrets. In contrast, both polecats and ferrets have evolutionary experience with canids, providing a plausible explanation for the similar relative impact of coyotes (<i>Canis latrans</i>) on them (65.0% and 67.1% of predation, respectively). We hypothesize that ferrets and badgers coexist because ferrets are superior at exploitation competition and are efficient at avoiding badgers, and badgers are superior at interference competition.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Mammalogy","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Society of Mammalogists","doi":"10.1644/12-MAMM-A-298.1","usgsCitation":"Eads, D., Biggins, D.E., Livieri, T., and Millspaugh, J., 2013, American badgers selectively excavate burrows in areas used by black-footed ferrets: implications for predator avoidance: Journal of Mammalogy, v. 94, no. 6, p. 1364-1370, https://doi.org/10.1644/12-MAMM-A-298.1.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"1364","endPage":"1370","numberOfPages":"7","ipdsId":"IP-051377","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":295730,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":295729,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1644/12-MAMM-A-298.1"}],"country":"United States","state":"South Dakota","otherGeospatial":"Conata Basin","volume":"94","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-12-16","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"544b6a18e4b03653c63fb1c0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Eads, David A.","contributorId":69077,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Eads","given":"David A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503930,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Biggins, Dean E. 0000-0003-2078-671X bigginsd@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2078-671X","contributorId":2522,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Biggins","given":"Dean","email":"bigginsd@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":503927,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Livieri, Travis M.","contributorId":14321,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Livieri","given":"Travis M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503929,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Millspaugh, Joshua J.","contributorId":11141,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Millspaugh","given":"Joshua J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":503928,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Recreation use was highest from March to April and during weekends throughout the year. Daily use of recreation trails was highest during midday. By comparing habitat use (slope, ruggedness, distance to water, and distance to recreation trails) of female bighorn sheep on weekdays versus weekends, we were able to detect short-term shifts in behavior in response to recreation. In a logistic regression of bighorn sheep locations versus random locations for March and April, female locations at midday (1200 hours) were significantly more distant from recreation trails on weekends compared with weekdays. Our results indicate that within this region of JOTR, moderate to high levels of human recreation activity may temporarily exclude bighorn females from their preferred habitat. However, the relative proximity of females to recreation trails during the weekdays before and after such habitat shifts indicates that these anthropogenic impacts were short-lived.

Hazus is a risk-assessment tool developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to identify risks and estimate the severity of risk from natural hazards. The Land Use Portfolio Model (LUPM) is a risk-management tool developed by the U.S. Geological Survey to evaluate plans or actions intended to reduce risk from natural hazards. We analysed three mitigation policies for one earthquake scenario in the San Francisco Bay area to demonstrate the added value of using Hazus and the LUPM together. The demonstration showed that Hazus loss estimates can be input to the LUPM to obtain estimates of losses avoided through mitigation, rates of return on mitigation investment, and measures of uncertainty. Together, they offer a more comprehensive approach to help with decisions for reducing risk from natural hazards.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Inderscience Publishers","doi":"10.1504/IJRAM.2013.054381","usgsCitation":"Dinitz, L.B., and Taketa, R.A., 2013, Applying the Land Use Portfolio Model with Hazus to analyse risk from natural hazard events: International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management, v. 17, no. 1, p. 69-88, https://doi.org/10.1504/IJRAM.2013.054381.","productDescription":"20 p.","startPage":"69","endPage":"88","numberOfPages":"20","ipdsId":"IP-022351","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":282018,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1504/IJRAM.2013.054381"},{"id":282019,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"17","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd4db0e4b0b290850f1a28","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dinitz, Laura B. ldinitz@usgs.gov","contributorId":3332,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dinitz","given":"Laura","email":"ldinitz@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":489901,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Taketa, Richard A. rtaketa@usgs.gov","contributorId":3870,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Taketa","given":"Richard","email":"rtaketa@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":489902,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

We surveyed 14 sample units that received treatment between 2009 and 2011, and 17 sample units that were controls. We used single-season occupancy models, with year as a dummy variable, to test for an effect of restoration treatment and habitat variables on occupancy. We found no significant treatment effect. Model selection showed that occupancy was best explained by the combination of overstory canopy cover and habitat area at both the local and landscape scales.

We estimated effect sizes (d<sub><i>i</i></sub>) from the difference between use (nests and brood sites) and random sampling sites for each study (<i>n</i> = 14), and derived an overall effect size (d<sub>++</sub>). There was a general effect for habitat selection as evidenced by low levels of variation in effect sizes across studies and regions. There was a small to medium effect (d<sub>++</sub>) = 0.20-0.82) of selection for greater vertical structure (visual obstruction) by nesting females in both vegetation communities, and selection against bare ground (d<sub>++</sub> = 0.20-0.58). Females with broods exhibited less selectivity for habitat components except for vertical structure. The variation of d<sub>++</sub> was greater during nesting than brooding periods, signifying a seasonal shift in habitat use, and perhaps a greater range of tolerance for brood-rearing habitat.

The destructive potential of this volcano is demonstrated by its Late Pleistocene–Holocene eruptive activity, which has been characterized by recurrent Plinian eruptions of large magnitude, the last two of which destroyed human settlements in pre-Hispanic times. Popocatépetl’s reawakening in 1994 produced a crisis that culminated with the evacuation of two villages on the northeastern flank of the volcano. Shortly after, a monitoring system and a civil protection contingency plan based on a hazard zone map were implemented. The current volcanic hazards map considers the potential occurrence of different volcanic phenomena, including pyroclastic density currents and lahars. However, no quantitative assessment of the tephra hazard, especially related to atmospheric dispersal, has been performed. The presence of airborne volcanic ash at low and jet-cruise atmospheric levels compromises the safety of aircraft operations and forces re-routing of aircraft to prevent encounters with volcanic ash clouds. Given the high number of important airports in the surroundings of Popocatépetl volcano and considering the potential threat posed to civil aviation in Mexico and adjacent regions in case of a Plinian eruption, a hazard assessment for tephra dispersal is required. In this work, we present the first probabilistic tephra dispersal hazard assessment for Popocatépetl volcano. We compute probabilistic hazard maps for critical thresholds of airborne ash concentrations at different flight levels, corresponding to the situation defined in Europe during 2010, and still under discussion. Tephra dispersal mode is performed using the FALL3D numerical model. Probabilistic hazard maps are built for a Plinian eruptive scenario defined on the basis of geological field data for the “Ochre Pumice” Plinian eruption (4965 <sup>14</sup>C yr BP). FALL3D model input eruptive parameters are constrained through an inversion method carried out with the semi-analytical HAZMAP model and are varied by sampling them using probability density functions. We analyze the influence of seasonal variations on ash dispersal and estimate the average persistence of critical ash concentrations at relevant locations and airports. This study assesses the impact that a Plinian eruption similar to the Ochre Pumice eruption would have on the main airports of Mexico and adjacent areas. The hazard maps presented here can support long-term planning that would help minimize the impacts of such an eruption on civil aviation.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Bulletin of Volcanology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00445-013-0789-z","usgsCitation":"Bonasia, R., Scaini, C., Capra, L., Nathenson, M., Siebe, C., Arana-Salinas, L., and Folch, A., 2013, Long-range hazard assessment of volcanic ash dispersal for a Plinian eruptive scenario at Popocatépetl volcano (Mexico): implications for civil aviation safety: Bulletin of Volcanology, v. 76, no. 789, 16 p., https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-013-0789-z.","productDescription":"16 p.","numberOfPages":"16","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-052850","costCenters":[{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":280650,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Mexico","otherGeospatial":"Popocatépetl Volcano","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -120.0,15.0 ], [ -120.0,30.0 ], [ -80.0,30.0 ], [ -80.0,15.0 ], [ -120.0,15.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"76","issue":"789","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-12-15","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd64f7e4b0b290850ffc85","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bonasia, Rosanna","contributorId":52481,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bonasia","given":"Rosanna","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":487923,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Scaini, Chirara","contributorId":46867,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Scaini","given":"Chirara","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":487922,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Capra, Lucia","contributorId":77836,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Capra","given":"Lucia","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":487925,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Nathenson, Manuel 0000-0002-5216-984X mnathnsn@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5216-984X","contributorId":1358,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nathenson","given":"Manuel","email":"mnathnsn@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":487920,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Siebe, Claus","contributorId":24121,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Siebe","given":"Claus","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":487921,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Arana-Salinas, Lilia","contributorId":79793,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Arana-Salinas","given":"Lilia","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":487926,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Folch, Arnau","contributorId":76219,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Folch","given":"Arnau","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":487924,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Polyoxyethylene tallow amine (POEA) is a non-ionic surfactant used in many glyphosate formulations, a widely applied herbicide both in agricultural and urban environments. POEA has not been previously well characterized, but has been shown to be toxic to various aquatic organisms. Characterization of technical mixtures using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and mass spectrometry shows POEA is a complex combination of homologs of different aliphatic moieties and ranges of ethoxylate units. Tandem mass spectrometry experiments indicate that POEA homologs generate no product ions readily suitable for quantitative analysis due to poor sensitivity. A comparison of multiple high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UHPLC analytical columns indicates that the stationary phase is more important in column selection than other parameters for the separation of POEA. Analysis of several agricultural and household glyphosate formulations confirms that POEA is a common ingredient but ethoxylate distributions among formulations vary.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Chromatography A","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.chroma.2013.10.032","usgsCitation":"Tush, D., Loftin, K.A., and Meyer, M.T., 2013, Characterization of polyoxyethylene tallow amine surfactants in technical mixtures and glyphosate formulations using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry: Journal of Chromatography A, v. 1319, p. 80-87, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chroma.2013.10.032.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"80","endPage":"87","numberOfPages":"8","ipdsId":"IP-051127","costCenters":[{"id":353,"text":"Kansas Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":280995,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":280994,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chroma.2013.10.032"}],"volume":"1319","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53cd50bbe4b0b290850f3824","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Tush, Daniel","contributorId":69887,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tush","given":"Daniel","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":483279,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Loftin, Keith A. 0000-0001-5291-876X kloftin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5291-876X","contributorId":868,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Loftin","given":"Keith","email":"kloftin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":353,"text":"Kansas Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":483278,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Meyer, Michael T. 0000-0001-6006-7985 mmeyer@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6006-7985","contributorId":866,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Meyer","given":"Michael","email":"mmeyer@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":353,"text":"Kansas Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":483277,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

However, inference from such designs is very limited when faced with sparse data, either from a low number of marked animals, a low probability of detection, or both. In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, yearly mark-resight data are collected for female grizzly bears with cubs-of-the-year (FCOY), and inference suffers from both limitations. To overcome difficulties due to sparseness, we assume homogeneity in sighting probabilities over 16 years of bi-annual aerial surveys. We model counts of marked and unmarked animals as multinomial random variables, using the capture frequencies of marked animals for inference about the latent multinomial frequencies for unmarked animals. We discuss undesirable behavior of the commonly used discrete uniform prior distribution on the population size parameter and provide OpenBUGS code for fitting such models. The application provides valuable insights into subtleties of implementing Bayesian inference for latent multinomial models. We tie the discussion to our application, though the insights are broadly useful for applications of the latent multinomial model.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"International Biometric Society","publisherLocation":"Alexandria, VA","doi":"10.1007/s13253-013-0148-8","usgsCitation":"Higgs, M., Link, W.A., White, G.C., Haroldson, M.A., and Bjornlie, D., 2013, Insights into the latent multinomial model through mark-resight data on female grizzly bears with cubs-of-the-year: Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics, v. 18, no. 4, p. 556-577, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13253-013-0148-8.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"556","endPage":"577","numberOfPages":"22","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-036679","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":318168,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"18","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-06-11","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"56c84acae4b0b3c9ae38107f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Higgs, Megan D.","contributorId":14718,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Higgs","given":"Megan D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":620839,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Link, William A. 0000-0002-9913-0256 wlink@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9913-0256","contributorId":146920,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Link","given":"William","email":"wlink@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":620836,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"White, Gary C.","contributorId":66831,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"White","given":"Gary","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":6621,"text":"Colorado State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":620838,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Haroldson, Mark A. 0000-0002-7457-7676 mharoldson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7457-7676","contributorId":1773,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haroldson","given":"Mark","email":"mharoldson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":620835,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Bjornlie, Daniel D.","contributorId":145512,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bjornlie","given":"Daniel D.","affiliations":[{"id":16140,"text":"Wyoming Game & Fish Department, Large Carnivore Section, Lander, Wyoming 82520, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":620837,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
