Reported yields for 14 wells in these rocks range from 1 to 60 gal/min (gallons per minute), with a median of 7.5 gal/min.\r\n\r\n      The northern part of the study area consists of highly permeable carbonate rocks.

Thus, as much as 3,630,000 gallons per day could be pumped from wells in this area on a sustained basis. However, pumping this amount would have major adverse effects on streamflow.\r\n\r\n      A water-budget analysis for March 1984 to February 1985 showed that precipitation was 52.16 inches, streamflow was 26.38 inches, evapotranspiration was 29.29 inches, ground-water storage decreased by 5.94 inches and diversions made by Womelsdorf-Robesonia Joint Authority for water supply totaled 2.43 inches. Precipitation during this period was above normal.\r\n\r\n      Four of 18 wells sampled for water quality had iron, manganese, or nitrate concentrations above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's recommended limits. The crystalline rocks in the study area yield soft to moderately hard water that is generally acidic.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri874218","usgsCitation":"Cecil, L., 1988, Geohydrology of the Furnace Creek basin and vicinity, Berks, Lancaster, and Lebanon counties, Pennsylvania: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4218, v, 38 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri874218.","productDescription":"v, 38 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[{"id":532,"text":"Pennsylvania Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":126327,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1987/4218/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":55409,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1987/4218/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":55410,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1987/4218/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b1be4b07f02db6a8993","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cecil, L.D.","contributorId":62616,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cecil","given":"L.D.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":196582,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

The HSI depends upon six (HSI1) or, optionally, eight (HSI2) variables. The six variables are percent of bottom covered with suitable cultch (V</span><sub>1</sub><span>), mean summer water salinity (V</span><sub>2</sub><span>), mean abundance of living oysters (V</span><sub>3</sub><span>) (a gregarious settling factor), historic mean water salinity (V</span><sub>4</sub><span>), frequency of killing floods (V</span><sub>5</sub><span>), and substrate firmness (V</span><sub>6</sub><span>). The optional variables are the abundance of the southern oyster drill</span><i class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">Thais haemostoma</i><span>&nbsp;(V</span><sub>7</sub><span>), and the intensity of the oyster pathogen</span><i class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">Perkinsus marinus</i><span>&nbsp;(V</span><sub>8</sub><span>). The HSI values were lowest at high and low salinity sites and highest at intermediate-salinity sites. To validate the model, the hypothesis that the output of the HSI model was correlated with oyster density was therefore tested. A significant correlation was found between HSI1 and oyster density (Kendall Tau Beta correlation coefficient, τ=0.674, p&lt;0.001, n=38); however, a statistical independence problem exists with the above test, that is, oyster density is both the independent standard for the test and a variable in the model. A regression model was constructed to test the relationship between log-transformed oyster density values (dependent variable) and the other variables of the model (independent variables). Most variation (r</span><sup>2</sup><span>=0.72, r=0.85) in the log-transformed density values were explained by a regression model that contained V</span><sub>2</sub><span>, V</span><sub>4</sub><span>, V</span><sub>5</sub><span>, V</span><sub>6</sub><span>, V</span><sub>7</sub><span>, and V</span><sub>8</sub><span>&nbsp;as independent variables. The regression model was useful in constructing a modified HSI model (MHSI). A significant correlation (τ=0.674, p&lt;0.05, n=10) was found between MHSI1 values and oyster densities from reefs closed to harvesting. The MHSI improves upon the original model by (i) simplifying the model structure, (ii) removing the requirement to measure V</span><sub>3</sub><span>, (iii) accounting better for the negative effects of high salinity, disease, and parasitism upon oysters, and (iv) eliminating the statistical independence problem by dropping V</span><sub>3</sub><span>&nbsp;from the model.

Only moderate variation in these habitat features was demonstrated among years of colonization. The factors causing these preferences appear to be protection from mammalian predators and presence of suitable nesting habitat. Forster's Terns colonized islands with a lower beach percentage than those colonized by Laughing Gulls or Black Skimmers due to interspecific differences in preferred nesting substrate. Nest site tenacity was weak in that the majority (57%) of colonies was active during only one of the three years of survey. Extreme nest site tenacity is probably selected against in these highly unstable wetlands. However, those islands colonized perennially were more geographically isolated and had higher percentages of beach cover. The relationship between seabird nesting abundance and the habitat variables was low, implying a lack of fine tuning of population numbers to habitat at a local scale. Numerous islands potentially suitable for colonization by seabirds may exist along coastal Louisiana.

This extremely attractive, well-produced volume has been well received by the wildlife management profession; the editors received an outstanding publication award from The Wildlife Society for this publication.  The accolades are deserved.  The symposium was purposely integrated in terms of research and management perspectives.  Each of the six sections is summarized by both research and management points of view.  A majority of the 60 papers presented deal with birds.  Although many chapters require a strong quantitative background, especially in multivariate statistics, many others do not.  When one compares this publication with previous habitat-modeling symposia proceedings, one realizes what a superior contribution \"Wildlife 2000\" is, and how incredible far wildlife-habitat modelers have come in a short time.  There are very few redundant papers of \"nonpapers\" in this volume.  The wide array of modeling procedures, statistical methods, and computer software developed and used by the authors is impressive; we have indeed learned how to build models.  Whether or not we have learned how to build good models is another question.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Wilson Bulletin","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wilson Ornithological Society","publisherLocation":"Lawrence, KS","usgsCitation":"Cooper, R.J., 1988, Book review of Wildlife 2000: Modeling relationships of terrestrial vertebrates, edited by J.

Evidence for two andesitic parents with different trace-element (particularly Sr) and water contents is preserved in the ejecta. Prior to eruption, a dominant volume of rhyodacite was underlain successively by high-Sr andesite, high-Sr crystal mushes, and low-Sr crystal mushes. Intergranular liquids in the high-Sr magmas were probably richer in water than those in the low-Sr magmas. Thermal continuity throughout the ejecta favours eruption from a single, zoned reservoir. Insight into chamber development is given by preclimactic rhyodacitic lavas and tephra erupted between about 30,000 BP and the climactic eruption. The oldest of these lavas, contaminated derivatives of low-Sr magma, contain crystal-poor magmatic inclusions of low-Sr andesite; the youngest has inclusions of high-Sr andesite and, like rhyodacitic pumice in the climactic ejecta, is hybrid magma containing an admixed high-Sr component. A model for steady-state growth of the chamber is inferred whereby repeated recharge, first by low-Sr then high-Sr andesite (± basalt), builds up a cumulate succession, while derivative liquid fractionates convectively, segregates, and mixes with an incrementally growing silicic volume. The magma chamber at Mount Mazama may provide insight into the evolution of some granitoid plutons.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Royal Society of Edinburgh","doi":"10.1017/S0263593300014280","usgsCitation":"Druitt, T.H., and Bacon, C.R., 1988, Compositional zonation and cumulus processes in the Mount Mazama magma chamber, Crater Lake, Oregon: Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh, v. 79, no. 2-3, p. 289-297, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0263593300014280.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"289","endPage":"297","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":358751,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon","otherGeospatial":"Crater Lake","volume":"79","issue":"2-3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5c113000e4b034bf6a824ce9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Druitt, T.

Highest concentrations (μg/g dry weight) detected were as follows (first number in each pair applies to bluegills and the second to carp): arsenic (As), 0.97 and 1.5; boron (B), 14 and 20; cadmium (Cd), 0.14 and 0.27; chromium (Cr), 2.7 and 2.2; mercury (hg), 3.3 and 2.9; molybdenum (Mo), 2.8 and 3.6; nickel (Ni), 0.87 and 2.2; lead (Pb), 0.26 and 2.3; and selenium (Se), 3.2 and 5.5. The lowest concentrations were below the levels of detection, except for Hg (0.15 in bluegills and 0.12 in carp) and Se (0.43 and 0.56). As judged by comparisons with data from the National Contaminant Biomonitoring Program and other published surveys, the concentrations of B, Hg, Mo, and Se were moderately elevated in fish from several sites in the San Joaquin Valley. However, only the Se concentrations were positively correlated with water quality variables (e.g., total alkalinity, conductivity, and turbidity) known to be influenced by irrigation return flows. Historical data from one site (Salt Slough), where trace elements in whole fish have been measured since 1969, indicated that Se concentrations increased more than twofold between 1973 and 1977, but thereafter remained near 3.0 μg g−1 (dry weight basis), presumably due to the continuing practice of disposing seleniferous tile drainage water into the most convenient stream channel. <br></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/0048-9697(88)90138-6","usgsCitation":"Saiki, M.K., and May, T.W., 1988, Trace element residues in bluegills and common carp from the lower San Joaquin River, California, and its tributaries: Science of the Total Environment, v. 74, p. 199-217, https://doi.org/10.1016/0048-9697(88)90138-6.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"199","endPage":"217","costCenters":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":357752,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"San Joaquin River","volume":"74","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5c113001e4b034bf6a824ced","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Saiki, Michael K.","contributorId":54671,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Saiki","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":746321,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"May, Thomas W. tmay@usgs.gov","contributorId":2598,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"May","given":"Thomas","email":"tmay@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":746322,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Here we present maps of cobalt concentration and inferred accumulation rate of ferromanganese crusts from the Pacific Ocean. We propose that depletion of cobalt in Pacific crusts measures the location and intensity of submarine hydrothermal discharge. Use of the 'cobalt chronometer', an algorithm inversely relating cobalt content and crust growth rate, permits mapping of the accumulation rate of ferromanganese crusts with only indirect recourse to radioactivity-based dating methods. These maps show that crusts in hydrothermal areas grow from two to more than four orders of magnitude faster than in the Central Pacific Ocean. Cobalt-enriched crusts are found where water masses are most isolated from continental-coastal and hydrothermal sources of metals, now and in the past.

Current hazard assessment of these chemicals by the National Fisheries Research Center-Great Lakes is based on their toxicity, occurrence in the environment, and source. Although scientists at the Center have tested over 70 chemicals with the crustacean <i>Daphnia pulex</i>, the number of experimental data needed to screen the huge array of chemicals in the Great Lakes exceeds the practical capabilities of conducting bioassays. This limitation can be partly circumvented, however, by using mathematical models based on quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) to provide rapid, inexpensive estimates of toxicity. Many properties of chemicals, including toxicity, bioaccumulation and water solubility are well correlated and can be predicted by equations of the generalized linear solvation energy relationships (LSER). The equation we used to model solute toxicity is Toxicity = constant + <u>m</u>VI/100 + <u>s</u> (π* + dδ) + <u>b</u>βm + <u>a</u>αm where VI = intrinsic (Van der Waals) molar volume; π* = molecular dipolarity/polarizability; δ = polarizability 'correction term'; βm = solute hydrogen bond acceptor basicity; and αm = solute hydrogen bond donor acidity. The subscript m designates solute monomer values for α and β. We applied the LSER model to 48-h acute toxicity data (measured as immobilization) for six classes of chemicals detected in Great Lakes fish. The following regression was obtained for <i>Daphnia pulex</i> (concentration = μM): log EC50 = 4.86 - 4.35 VI/100; N = 38, r2 = 0.867, sd = 0.403 We also used the LSER modeling approach to analyze to a large published data set of 24-h acute toxicity for <i>Daphnia magna</i>; the following regression resulted, for eight classes of compounds (concentration = mM): log EC50 = 3.88 - 4.52 VI/100 - 1.62 π* + 1.66 βm - 0.916 αm; N = 62, r2 = 0.859, sd = 0.375 In addition we developed computer software that identifies chemical structures, estimates the LSER parameters, and predicts toxicity. The LSER models promise to be effective in differentiating between reactive and nonreactive toxicity behavior where other models have failed. Contaminants with reactive behavior are generally the most toxic and rank highest in hazard assessment of environmental chemicals.</p>","largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the QSAR: third international workshop on quantitative structure-activity relationships in environmental toxicology","conferenceTitle":"Proceedings of the QSAR: third international workshop on quantitative structure-activity relationships in environmental toxicology","conferenceDate":"1988-05-21T00:00:00","conferenceLocation":"Knoxville, TN","language":"English","publisher":"National Technical Information Service","publisherLocation":"Springfield, VA","usgsCitation":"Passino, D., Hickey, J.P., and Frank, A.M., 1988, Linear solvation energy relationships for toxicity of selected organic chemicals to <i>Daphnia pulex</i> and <i>Daphnia magna</i>: Proceedings of the QSAR, p. 131-146.","productDescription":"p. 131-146","numberOfPages":"16","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":289226,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"The Great Lakes","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -92.11,41.4 ], [ -92.11,48.85 ], [ -76.3,48.85 ], [ -76.3,41.4 ], [ -92.11,41.4 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53b286f5e4b07b8813a554d0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Passino, Dora R.

High concentrations of arsenic are generally associated with one of four geochemical environments: (1) basin-fill deposits of alluvial-lacustrine origin, particularly in semiarid areas, (2) volcanic deposits, (3) geothermal systems, and (4) uranium and gold-mining areas. These findings are based on an extensive literature review, compilation of unpublished reports and data, and the review of data bases containing more than 7,000 analyses of ground-water samples for arsenic. In the first two environments, arsenic appears to be associated with sediments derived, in part, from volcanic rocks of intermediate to acidic composition. Dissolved arsenic concentrations in water from volcanic aquifers in the same regions, however, may be low (less than 10 micrograms per liter). Solid phases (minerals, amorphous solids, and sedimentary organic matter) that supply the dissolved arsenic have not been identified in most areas. Alluvial and lacustrine sedimentary deposits appear to be an important source of arsenic in volcanic areas (such as Lane County, Oregon) and in areas underlain by basin-fill deposits (such as Carson Desert in Nevada and the Tulare Lake basin in California). Mobilization of arsenic in sedimentary aquifers may be, in part, a result of changes in the geochemical environment due to agricultural irrigation. In the deeper subsurface, elevated arsenic concentrations are associated with compaction caused by groundwater withdrawals.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1745-6584.1988.tb00397.x","usgsCitation":"Welch, A., Lico, M.S., and Hughes, J.L., 1988, Arsenic in ground water of the Western United States: Groundwater, v. 26, no. 3, p. 333-347, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6584.1988.tb00397.x.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"333","endPage":"347","costCenters":[{"id":589,"text":"Toxic Substances Hydrology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":338182,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"Western United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -125.41992187499999,\n              31.353636941500987\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.4140625,\n              31.353636941500987\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.4140625,\n              49.38237278700955\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.41992187499999,\n              49.38237278700955\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.41992187499999,\n              31.353636941500987\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2006-03-21","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58d4df09e4b05ec79911d1ce","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Welch, Alan H.","contributorId":45286,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Welch","given":"Alan H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":685902,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lico, Michael S.","contributorId":75897,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lico","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":685903,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hughes, Jennifer L.","contributorId":189740,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hughes","given":"Jennifer","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":685904,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Recently, however, some careful measurements of vertical chemical concentration profiles have been made at several locations around the world that appear to support a consistent picture concerning the persistence of large vertical concentration gradients in aquifers and, by implication, the existence of very small vertical transverse dispersivities. These data were obtained in aquifers supporting microbial activity. Data analysis using a mathematical model which considers microbial degradation coupled to nutrient and oxygen transport indicates that a vertical transverse dispersivity on the order of 0.1 cm or less is consistent with the concentration gradients that were measured. The existence of such large gradients and low dispersivities is not consistent with the use of two-dimensional vertically averaged (areal) models as currently applied, especially if one is interested in the development of transport models with predictive capability beyond that associated with standard calibration and extrapolation. Even three-dimensional models with large vertical transverse dispersivities compared to those measured will produce results inconsistent with measurements. Microbial-chemical activity is very sensitive to concentration distributions. Smearing of the oxygen profile can result in the prediction of aerobic activity where, in fact, none exists.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/WR024i004p00615","usgsCitation":"Molz, F.J., and Widdowson, M.A., 1988, Internal inconsistencies in dispersion-dominated models that incorporate chemical and microbial kinetics: Water Resources Research, v. 24, no. 4, p. 615-619, https://doi.org/10.1029/WR024i004p00615.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"615","endPage":"619","costCenters":[{"id":589,"text":"Toxic Substances Hydrology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":338178,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"24","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2010-07-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58d4df0ae4b05ec79911d1d2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Molz, Fred J.","contributorId":189737,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Molz","given":"Fred","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":685893,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Widdowson, Mark A.","contributorId":90379,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Widdowson","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":685894,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Resource management agencies are interested in developing mitigation strategies that protect or restore fisheries in these waters. Addition of limestone (calcium carbonate) to improve water quality and prevent episodic depressions of pH during precipitation events and spring runoff is one mitigation technique being used. The ecological changes that accompany such treatment of streams and lakes are being investigated in a cooperative program between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and individual states. Streams in Massachusetts, West Virginia and Tennessee, and a lake in Minnesota are included in this 5-yr research program. Intensive monitoring during pre- and post-liming tracks a suite of physical, chemical and biological parameters that influence the re-establishment or maintenance of healthy fisheries. Supporting studies on liming being conducted at Adirondack lakes in New York focus on fisheries management. A model on the influence of liming on light attenuation and thermal stratification is also being developed. Management guidelines are to be generated from the program results.</p></div></div><div id=\"cobranding-and-download-availability-text\" class=\"note test-pdf-link\"><br></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer Nature","doi":"10.1007/BF00160344","usgsCitation":"Schreiber, R., 1988, Cooperative federal-state liming research on surface waters impacted by acidic deposition: Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, v. 41, no. 1-2, p. 53-73, https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00160344.","productDescription":"21 p.","startPage":"53","endPage":"73","costCenters":[{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":131569,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Massachusetts, Minnesota, Tennessee, West Virginia","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -91.9416801202762,\n              48.40174735869931\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.07247767750238,\n              34.74405492546872\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.16801617276204,\n              34.85174146240108\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.26583892959951,\n              36.616152766648426\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.08283892841514,\n              41.088904933550786\n            ],\n            [\n              -69.58877618185089,\n              43.06521980270412\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.56468899078627,\n              48.12461571189084\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.9416801202762,\n              48.40174735869931\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"41","issue":"1-2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4adce4b07f02db6864ff","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schreiber, R.K.","contributorId":92988,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schreiber","given":"R.K.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":320494,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}
