Previous efforts to constrain these relationships at the Blake Ridge Diapir were limited to observations from piloted deep-submergence vehicles. In August 2012, the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Sentry collected geophysical and photographic data over a 0.131 km2 area at the Blake Ridge Diapir seeps. A nested survey approach was used that began with a regional or reconnaissance-style survey using sub-bottom mapping systems to locate and identify seeps and underlying conduits. This survey was followed by AUV-mounted sidescan sonar and multibeam echosounder systems mapping on a mesoscale to characterize the seabed physiography. At the most detailed survey level, digital photographic imaging was used to resolve sub-meter characteristics of the biology. Four pockmarks (25–70 m diameter) were documented, each supporting chemosynthetic communities. Concentric zonation of mussels and clams suggests the influence of chemical gradients on megafaunal distribution. Data collection and analytical techniques used here yield high-resolution habitat maps that can serve as baselines to constrain temporal evolution of seafloor seeps, and to inform ecological niche modeling and resource management.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.dsr2.2013.02.008","usgsCitation":"Wagner, J.K., McEntee, M.H., Brothers, L., German, C., Kaiser, C.L., Yoerger, D.R., and Van Dover, C.L., 2013, Cold-seep habitat mapping: high-resolution spatial characterization of the Blake Ridge Diapir seep field: Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, v. 92, p. 183-188, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr2.2013.02.008.","productDescription":"6 p.","startPage":"183","endPage":"188","ipdsId":"IP-042820","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269357,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":269356,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr2.2013.02.008"}],"otherGeospatial":"Blake Ridge Diapir","volume":"92","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5142e34fe4b073a963ff6529","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wagner, Jamie K.S.","contributorId":91766,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wagner","given":"Jamie","email":"","middleInitial":"K.S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475957,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"McEntee, Molly H.","contributorId":73083,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McEntee","given":"Molly","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475955,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brothers, Laura L.","contributorId":96132,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brothers","given":"Laura L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475958,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"German, Christopher R.","contributorId":68190,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"German","given":"Christopher R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475954,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kaiser, Carl L.","contributorId":78216,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kaiser","given":"Carl","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475956,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Yoerger, Dana R.","contributorId":25428,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yoerger","given":"Dana","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475952,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Van Dover, Cindy Lee","contributorId":26205,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Van Dover","given":"Cindy","email":"","middleInitial":"Lee","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475953,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Declining water levels, deteriorating water quality, and increasing use of groundwater resources by municipal, industrial, and agricultural water users on both sides of the international border have raised concerns about the long-term availability of this supply. Water quantity and quality are determining and limiting factors that ultimately control agriculture, future economic development, population growth, human health, and ecological conditions along the border.

To provide some of the information needed to support remediation efforts in the Cherokee County, Kansas, superfund site, a 4-year study was begun in 2009 by the U.S. Geological Survey that was requested and funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A combination of surficial-soil sampling and coring was used to investigate the occurrence and variability of mining-related lead and zinc in the flood plains of the Spring River and several tributaries within the superfund site. Lead- and zinc-contaminated flood plains are a concern, in part, because they represent a long-term source of contamination to the fluvial environment.\n\nLead and zinc contamination was assessed with reference to probable-effect concentrations (PECs), which represent the concentrations above which adverse aquatic biological effects are likely to occur. The general PECs for lead and zinc were 128 and 459 milligrams per kilogram, respectively. The TSMD-specific PECs for lead and zinc were 150 and 2,083 milligrams per kilogram, respectively.\n\nTypically, surficial soils in the Spring River flood plain had lead and zinc concentrations that were less than the general PECs. Lead and zinc concentrations in the surficial-soil samples were variable with distance downstream and with distance from the Spring River channel, and the largest lead and zinc concentrations usually were located near the channel. Lead and zinc concentrations larger than the general or TSMD-specific PECs, or both, were infrequent at depth in the Spring River flood plain. When present, such contamination typically was confined to the upper 2 feet of the core and frequently was confined to the upper 6 inches.\n\nTributaries with few or no lead- and zinc-mined areas in the basin—Brush Creek, Cow Creek, and Shawnee Creek—generally had flood-plain lead and zinc concentrations (surficial soil, 6- and 12-inch depth) that were substantially less than the general PECs. Tributaries with extensive lead- and zinc-mined areas in the basin—Shoal Creek, Short Creek, Spring Branch, Tar Creek, Turkey Creek, and Willow Creek—had flood-plain lead concentrations (surficial soil, 6- and 12-inch depth) that frequently or typically exceeded the general and TSMD-specific PECs. Likewise, the tributaries with extensive lead- and zinc-mined areas in the basin had flood-plain zinc concentrations (surficial soil, 6- and 12-inch depth) that frequently or typically exceeded the general PEC. With the exception of Shoal and Willow Creeks, zinc concentrations typically exceeded the TSMD-specific PEC. The largest flood-plain lead and zinc concentrations (surficial soil, 6- and 12-inch depth) were measured for Short and Tar Creeks. Lead and zinc concentrations in the surficial-soil samples collected from the tributary flood plains varied longitudinally in relation to sources of mining-contaminated sediment in the basins. Lead and zinc concentrations also varied with distance from the channel; however, no consistent spatial trend was evident. For the surficial-soil samples collected from the Spring River flood plain and tributary flood plains, both the coarse (larger than 63 micrometers) and fine particles (less than 63 micrometers) contained substantial lead and zinc concentrations.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20135028","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency","usgsCitation":"Juracek, K.E., 2013, Occurrence and variability of mining-related lead and zinc in the Spring River flood plain and tributary flood plains, Cherokee County, Kansas, 2009--11: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2013-5028, vi, 70 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20135028.","productDescription":"vi, 70 p.","numberOfPages":"80","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","temporalStart":"2009-01-01","temporalEnd":"2011-12-31","costCenters":[{"id":353,"text":"Kansas Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269350,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sir20135028.gif"},{"id":269348,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5028/"},{"id":269349,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5028/sir2013-5028.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Kansas","county":"Cherokee County","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -95.073853,36.998665 ], [ -95.073853,37.341705 ], [ -94.617636,37.341705 ], [ -94.617636,36.998665 ], [ -95.073853,36.998665 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5142e35be4b073a963ff6535","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Juracek, Kyle E. 0000-0002-2102-8980 kjuracek@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2102-8980","contributorId":2022,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Juracek","given":"Kyle","email":"kjuracek@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":353,"text":"Kansas Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475935,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

We related the presence of plant community types to estuarine hydrology at 173 sites across coastal Louisiana. Percent relative cover by species was assessed at each site near the end of the growing season in 2008, and hourly water level and salinity were recorded at each site Oct 2007–Sep 2008. Nine plant community types were delineated with k-means clustering, and indicator species were identified for each of the community types with indicator species analysis. An inverse relation between salinity and species diversity was observed. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) effectively segregated the sites across ordination space by community type, and indicated that salinity and tidal amplitude were both important drivers of vegetation composition. Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) and Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) were used to predict the probability of occurrence of the nine vegetation communities as a function of salinity and tidal amplitude, and probability surfaces obtained from the MLR model corroborated the CCA results. The weighted kappa statistic, calculated from the confusion matrix of predicted versus actual community types, was 0.7 and indicated good agreement between observed community types and model predictions. Our results suggest that models based on a few key hydrologic variables can be valuable tools for predicting vegetation community development when restoring and managing coastal wetlands.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1016/j.ecss.2012.12.002","usgsCitation":"Snedden, G., and Steyer, G.D., 2013, Predictive occurrence models for coastal wetland plant communities: delineating hydrologic response surfaces with multinomial logistic regression: Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, v. 118, p. 11-23, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2012.12.002.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"11","endPage":"23","ipdsId":"IP-033792","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269352,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":269315,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2012.12.002"}],"volume":"118","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5142e35ee4b073a963ff653d","chorus":{"doi":"10.1016/j.ecss.2012.12.002","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2012.12.002","publisher":"Elsevier BV","authors":"Snedden Gregg A., Steyer Gregory D.","journalName":"Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science","publicationDate":"2/2013","auditedOn":"11/1/2014"},"contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Snedden, Gregg A. 0000-0001-7821-3709","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7821-3709","contributorId":17338,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Snedden","given":"Gregg A.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":475910,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Steyer, Gregory D. 0000-0001-7231-0110 steyerg@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7231-0110","contributorId":2856,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Steyer","given":"Gregory","email":"steyerg@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":5064,"text":"Southeast Regional Director's Office","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5062,"text":"Office of the Chief Scientist for Ecosystems","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475909,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Before sediment amendment, the vegetation did not differ in these Taxodium distichum–Nyssa aquatica forests with respect to herbaceous and tree seedling composition, and sapling and tree characteristics. After the application of sediment in January 2007, sediment-amended swamps had higher elevations and salinity levels than natural swamps. The layer of sediment applied to Treasure Island in Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve was relatively deep (sediment depth at Site One and Site Two: 0.89 and 0.69 m, respectively, six months after application), and may have exceeded an optimal threshold. Sediment-amended swamp with the highest elevation had some tree mortality and little tree growth of T. distichum. Also, sediment-amended swamp had higher root biomasses of ruderal species, and lower species richness and cover of herbaceous species. Nevertheless, during controlled water releases during an oil spill emergency in 2010, both sediment-amended and reference forest had higher production levels than in other years.

S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) submit this &ldquo;Gap Report&rdquo;. This report summarizes the policy, fiscal and science challenges that land managers encounter related to the control and reduction of the invasive plant/fire complex, especially as it&nbsp;relates to the threaten or endangered species listing status of the Greater sage-grouse (<i>Centrocercus urophasianus</i>).</p>\n<p>While this Gap Report identifies 22 technical, policy, planning and funding gaps, it should be considered a &ldquo;work in-progress&rdquo;. To address this&nbsp;effort a Wildfire/Invasive Initiative Work Group (WG) was formed. The WG consist of nationally recognized experts in fire ecology, Sage-grouse ecology and management, range management and plant ecology. The WG developed this Gap Report and will be developing the final report for this Cooperative Agreement. Thus, as the WG evaluates the wildfire/invasive&nbsp;issue and makes recommendation to address scientific and management shortcomings, additional gaps will be identified and included in the final report. Within this report, the WG has suggested the&nbsp;top 5 gaps. However, the actual priority of what should be addressed first will depend on the significance and sequence of the limiting factor, available funding, current work, roles and responsibilities of the specific agencies, etc.</p>\n<p>The WG will continue to meet on a regular basis to further develop and expand this list of gaps. Additionally, the WG will offer specific&nbsp;options to address the identified gaps. However, the WG recommends that the FWS, possibly through the State/Federal (Western Governors Association) Sage Grouse Task Force or the National Sage-grouse Executive Oversight Committee, establish a Subcommittee to specifically review this Gap&nbsp;Report and develop a multi-agency approach on how to address each gap. The WG will continue to endeavor to establish a priority list and identify the &ldquo;low hanging fruit&rdquo; that can be addressed in the short-term to affect the listing&nbsp;decision. Additionally, the WG will propose a longer-term strategy. However, to successfully establish such a strategy it will take buy-in and commitment at the highest levels in federal and state governments. <br /> <br />In an effort to provide managers an opportunity to address the most important issues this coming fiscal year, we offer the following top 5 gaps. Beyond these top 5, the WG has identified 17 additional gaps that should be evaluated by both federal and state agencies as a means to help better manage the wildfire/invasive threat in the

Urban infrastructure efficiently routes runoff over hot impervious surfaces and through storm drains directly into streams and can lead to rapid, dramatic increases in temperature. Thermal regimes affect habitat quality and biogeochemical processes, and changes can be lethal if temperatures exceed upper tolerance limits of aquatic fauna. In summer 2009, we collected continuous (10-min interval) temperature data in 60 streams spanning a range of development intensity in the Piedmont of North Carolina, USA. The 5 most urbanized streams averaged 21.1°C at baseflow, compared to 19.5°C in the 5 most forested streams. Temperatures in urban streams rose as much as 4°C during a small regional storm, whereas the same storm led to extremely small to no changes in temperature in forested streams. Over a kilometer of stream length, baseflow temperature varied by as much as 10°C in an urban stream and as little as 2°C in a forested stream. We used structural equation modeling to explore how reach- and catchment-scale attributes interact to explain maximum temperatures and magnitudes of storm-flow temperature surges. The best predictive model of baseflow temperatures (R<sup>2</sup>  =  0.461) included moderately strong pathways directly (extent of development and road density) and indirectly, as mediated by reach-scale factors (canopy closure and stream width), from catchment-scale factors. The strongest influence on storm-flow temperature surges appeared to be % development in the catchment. Reach-scale factors, such as the extent of riparian forest and stream width, had little mitigating influence (R<sup>2</sup>  =  0.448). Stream temperature is an essential, but overlooked, aspect of the urban stream syndrome and is affected by reach-scale habitat variables, catchment-scale urbanization, and stream thermal regimes.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Freshwater Science","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"The Society for Freshwater Science","publisherLocation":"Wolfville, N.S.","doi":"10.1899/12-046.1","usgsCitation":"Somers, K.A., Bernhardt, E., Grace, J.B., Hassett, B.A., Sudduth, E.B., Wang, S., and Urban, D., 2013, Streams in the urban heat island: spatial and  temporal variability in temperature: Freshwater Science, v. 32, no. 1, p. 309-326, https://doi.org/10.1899/12-046.1.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"309","endPage":"326","ipdsId":"IP-036981","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473919,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"http://www.bioone.org/doi/10.1899/12-046.1","text":"External Repository"},{"id":269266,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1899/12-046.1"},{"id":269277,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"32","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"514191dfe4b0eefcba208d3f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Somers, Kayleigh A.","contributorId":32422,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Somers","given":"Kayleigh","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475886,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bernhardt, Emily S.","contributorId":92143,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bernhardt","given":"Emily S.","affiliations":[{"id":27331,"text":"Duke University, Durham, NC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":475889,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Grace, James B. 0000-0001-6374-4726 gracej@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6374-4726","contributorId":884,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grace","given":"James","email":"gracej@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475883,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hassett, Brooke A.","contributorId":57744,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hassett","given":"Brooke","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475887,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Sudduth, Elizabeth B.","contributorId":8747,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sudduth","given":"Elizabeth","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475884,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Wang, Siyi","contributorId":68196,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wang","given":"Siyi","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475888,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Urban, Dean L.","contributorId":10674,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Urban","given":"Dean L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475885,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

Seroprevalence varied among species (highest in eiders (Somateria and Polysticta species), and emperor geese (Chen canagica)), ages (adults higher than juveniles), across geographic locations (highest in the Arctic and Alaska Peninsula) and among years in tundra swans (Cygnus columbianus). All seroprevalence rates in excess of 60% were found in marine-dependent species. Seroprevalence was much higher than AIV infection based on rRT-PCR or virus isolation alone. Because pre-existing AIV antibodies can infer some protection against highly pathogenic AIV (HPAI H5N1), our results imply that some wild waterfowl in Alaska could be protected from lethal HPAIV infections. Seroprevalence should be considered in deciphering patterns of exposure, differential infection, and rates of AIV transmission. Our results suggest surveillance programs include species and populations with high AIV seroprevalences, in addition to those with high infection rates. Serologic testing, including examination of serotype-specific antibodies throughout the annual cycle, would help to better assess spatial and temporal patterns of AIV transmission and overall disease dynamics.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Public Library of Science","publisherLocation":"San Francisco, CA","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0058308","usgsCitation":"Wilson, H.M., Hall, J., Flint,

An increasingly recognized problem for the interpretability of MMIs is controlling for the potentially confounding influences of environmental covariates. Most common approaches to handling covariates are based on simple notions of statistical control, leaving the causal implications of covariates and their adjustment unstated. In this paper, we use graphical models to examine some of the potential impacts of environmental covariates on the observed signals between human disturbance and potential response metrics. Using simulations based on various causal networks, we show how environmental covariates can both obscure and exaggerate the effects of human disturbance on individual metrics. We then examine from a causal interpretation standpoint the common practice of adjusting ecological metrics for environmental influences using only the set of sites deemed to be in reference condition. We present and examine the performance of an alternative approach to metric adjustment that uses the whole set of sites and models both environmental and human disturbance effects simultaneously. The findings from our analyses indicate that failing to model and adjust metrics can result in a systematic bias towards those metrics in which environmental covariates function to artificially strengthen the metric–disturbance relationship resulting in MMIs that do not accurately measure impacts of human disturbance. We also find that a “whole-set modeling approach” requires fewer assumptions and is more efficient with the given information than the more commonly applied “reference-set” approach.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Ecological Indicators","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1016/j.ecolind.2013.01.015","usgsCitation":"Schoolmaster, D.R., Grace, J.B., Schweiger, E.W., Mitchell, B.R., and Guntenspergen, G.R., 2013, A causal examination of the effects of confounding factors on multimetric indices: Ecological Indicators, v. 29, p. 411-419, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2013.01.015.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"411","endPage":"419","ipdsId":"IP-032370","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269265,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2013.01.015"},{"id":269276,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"29","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"514191cfe4b0eefcba208d2f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schoolmaster, Donald R.

We present a quantitative analysis to address the hypothesis that bats are unique in their propensity to host zoonotic viruses based on a comparison with rodents, another important host order. We found that bats indeed host more zoonotic viruses per species than rodents, and we identified life-history and ecological factors that promote zoonotic viral richness. More zoonotic viruses are hosted by species whose distributions overlap with a greater number of other species in the same taxonomic order (sympatry). Specifically in bats, there was evidence for increased zoonotic viral richness in species with smaller litters (one young), greater longevity and more litters per year. Furthermore, our results point to a new hypothesis to explain in part why bats host more zoonotic viruses per species: the stronger effect of sympatry in bats and more viruses shared between bat species suggests that interspecific transmission is more prevalent among bats than among rodents. Although bats host more zoonotic viruses per species, the total number of zoonotic viruses identified in bats (61) was lower than in rodents (68), a result of there being approximately twice the number of rodent species as bat species. Therefore, rodents should still be a serious concern as reservoirs of emerging viruses. These findings shed light on disease emergence and perpetuation mechanisms and may help lead to a predictive framework for identifying future emerging infectious virus reservoirs.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Royal Society Publishing","publisherLocation":"London, U.K.","usgsCitation":"Luis, A.D., Hayman, D.T., O'Shea, T., Cryan, P., Gilbert, A.T., Pulliam, J., Mills, J.N., Timonin, M.E., Willis, C.K., Cunningham, A.A., Fooks, A.R., Rupprecht, C.E., Wood, J.L., and Webb, C.T., 2013, A comparison of bats and rodents as reservoirs of zoonotic viruses: are bats special?: Proceedings of the Royal Society B, v. 280, no. 1756, p. 1471-2954.","productDescription":"20122753; 1484","startPage":"1471","endPage":"2954","ipdsId":"IP-043312","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269292,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"280","issue":"1756","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"514191dce4b0eefcba208d33","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Luis, Angela D.","contributorId":33199,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Luis","given":"Angela","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475898,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hayman, David T.S.","contributorId":26946,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hayman","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"T.S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475896,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"O'Shea, Thomas J. 0000-0002-0758-9730","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0758-9730","contributorId":78071,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"O'Shea","given":"Thomas J.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":475900,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Cryan, Paul M. 0000-0002-2915-8894","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2915-8894","contributorId":99685,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cryan","given":"Paul M.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":475906,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Gilbert, Amy T.","contributorId":15093,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gilbert","given":"Amy","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475894,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Pulliam, Juliet R.C.","contributorId":87047,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pulliam","given":"Juliet R.C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475901,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Mills, James N.","contributorId":17505,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mills","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475895,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Timonin, Mary E.","contributorId":89037,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Timonin","given":"Mary","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475902,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Willis, Craig K.

The inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science Web site at http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/, depict estimates of the areal extent of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at USGS streamgage 03333050, Tippecanoe River near Delphi, Ind. Current conditions at the USGS streamgages in Indiana may be obtained online at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/in/nwis/current/?type=flow. In addition, the information has been provided to the National Weather Service (NWS) for incorporation into their Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) flood warning system (http://water.weather.gov/ahps/). The NWS forecasts flood hydrographs at many places that are often co-located at USGS streamgages. That forecasted peak-stage information, also available on the Internet, may be used in conjunction with the maps developed in this study to show predicted areas of flood inundation.\n\nIn this study, water-surface profiles were simulated for the stream reach by means of a hydraulic one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated by using the most current stage-discharge relation at USGS streamgage 03333050, Tippecanoe River near Delphi, Ind., and USGS streamgage 03332605, Tippecanoe River below Oakdale Dam, Ind. The hydraulic model was then used to simulate 13 water-surface profiles for flood stages at 1-foot intervals reference to the streamgage datum and ranging from bankfull to approximately the highest recorded water level at the streamgage. The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined with a geographic information system digital elevation model (derived from Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data) in order to delineate the area flooded at each water level. A flood inundation map was generated for each water-surface profile stage (13 maps in all) so that, for any given flood stage, users will be able to view the estimated area of inundation.\n\nThe availability of these maps, along with current stage from USGS streamgages and forecasted stream stages from the NWS, provides emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for post-flood recovery efforts.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sim3243","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Transportation","usgsCitation":"Menke, C.D., Bunch, A.R., and Kim, M.H., 2013, Flood-inundation maps for the Tippecanoe River near Delphi, Indiana: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3243, Maps: 13 Sheets: 17 x 22 inches; Pamphlet: vi, 9 p.; Downloads Directory, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3243.","productDescription":"Maps: 13 Sheets: 17 x 22 inches; Pamphlet: vi, 9 p.; Downloads Directory","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[{"id":346,"text":"Indiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269275,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sim3243.gif"},{"id":269273,"type":{"id":2,"text":"Additional Report Piece"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3243/pdf/mapsheets"},{"id":269274,"type":{"id":7,"text":"Companion Files"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3243/Downloads"},{"id":269271,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3243/"},{"id":269272,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3243/pdf/sim3243.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Indiana","city":"Delphi","otherGeospatial":"Tippecanoe River","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -88.1,37.77 ], [ -88.1,41.76 ], [ -84.78,41.76 ], [ -84.78,37.77 ], [ -88.1,37.77 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"514191dce4b0eefcba208d37","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Menke, Chad D. cdmenke@usgs.gov","contributorId":3209,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Menke","given":"Chad","email":"cdmenke@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":475890,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bunch, Aubrey R. 0000-0002-2453-3624 aurbunch@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2453-3624","contributorId":4351,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bunch","given":"Aubrey","email":"aurbunch@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":35860,"text":"Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":27231,"text":"Indiana-Kentucky Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":346,"text":"Indiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475892,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kim, Moon H. 0000-0002-4328-8409 mkim@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4328-8409","contributorId":3211,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kim","given":"Moon","email":"mkim@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":27231,"text":"Indiana-Kentucky Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475891,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Today, as a result of global economics and increased movement of goods between nations, border regions play a much greater role in commerce, tourism, and transportation. For example, Mexico is the second largest destination for United States exports (Woodrow Wilson Center Mexico Institute, 2009). The rapid population and economic growth along the United States–Mexican border, undocumented human border crossings, and the unique natural diversity of resources in the Borderlands present challenges for border security and environmental protection. Assessing risks and implementing sustainable growth policies to protect the environment and quality of life greatly increase in complexity when the issues cross an international border, where social services, environmental regulations, lifestyles, and cultural beliefs are unique for each country. Shared airsheds, water and biological resources, national security issues, and disaster management needs require an integrated binational approach to assess risks and develop binational management strategies.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science (Circular 1380)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/cir13809","usgsCitation":"Parcher, J.W., and Page, W.R., 2013, Challenge theme 7: Information support for management of border security and environmental protection: Chapter 9 in <i>United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science</i>: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1380, 30 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir13809.","productDescription":"30 p.","startPage":"204","endPage":"233","numberOfPages":"30","costCenters":[{"id":572,"text":"Southwest Region","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":37226,"text":"Core Science Analytics, Synthesis, and Libraries","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269133,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/cir13809.gif"},{"id":269131,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1380/downloads/Chapter9.pdf"},{"id":269132,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1380/"}],"country":"Mexico, United States","otherGeospatial":"United States-Mexico Borderlands","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -97.646484375,\n              24.246964554300924\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.6796875,\n              25.918526162075153\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.0751953125,\n              27.254629577800063\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.4375,\n              29.49698759653577\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.931640625,\n              30.713503990354965\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.22753906249999,\n              31.015278981711266\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.853515625,\n              32.65787573695528\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.34765625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.5009765625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.302734375,\n              32.95336814579932\n            ],\n            [\n              -112.939453125,\n              33.54139466898275\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.43359375,\n              33.8339199536547\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.158203125,\n              33.54139466898275\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.8173828125,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.20214843749999,\n              31.690781806136822\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.9169921875,\n              31.50362930577303\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.8740234375,\n              30.06909396443887\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.2373046875,\n              30.14512718337613\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.16113281249999,\n              28.22697003891834\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.71093749999999,\n              27.488781168937997\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.90917968749999,\n              27.68352808378776\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.36035156249999,\n              25.363882272740256\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.3056640625,\n              24.686952411999155\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.646484375,\n              24.246964554300924\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5140407de4b089809dbf43e3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Parcher, Jean W. jwparcher@usgs.gov","contributorId":2209,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Parcher","given":"Jean","email":"jwparcher@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":475856,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Page, William R. 0000-0002-0722-9911 rpage@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0722-9911","contributorId":1628,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Page","given":"William","email":"rpage@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475855,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Since temporal and spatial discontinuities of Landsat data are now imminent, it is therefore important to investigate other potential satellite data that can be used to replace Landsat data. We thus cross-compared two near-simultaneous images obtained from Landsat 5 TM and the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS)-P6 Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS), both captured on 29 May 2007 over Los Angeles, CA. TM and AWiFS reflectances were compared for the green, red, near-infrared (NIR), and shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands, as well as the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) based on manually selected polygons in homogeneous areas. All R<sup>2</sup> values of linear regressions were found to be higher than 0.99. The temporally invariant cluster (TIC) method was used to calculate the NDVI correlation between the TM and AWiFS images. The NDVI regression line derived from selected polygons passed through several invariant cluster centres of the TIC density maps and demonstrated that both the scene-dependent polygon regression method and TIC method can generate accurate radiometric normalization. A scene-independent normalization method was also used to normalize the AWiFS data. Image agreement assessment demonstrated that the scene-dependent normalization using homogeneous polygons provided slightly higher accuracy values than those obtained by the scene-independent method. Finally, the non-normalized and relatively normalized ‘Landsat-like’ AWiFS 2007 images were integrated into 1984 to 2010 Landsat time-series stacks (LTSS) for disturbance detection using the Vegetation Change Tracker (VCT) model. Both scene-dependent and scene-independent normalized AWiFS data sets could generate disturbance maps similar to what were generated using the LTSS data set, and their kappa coefficients were higher than 0.97. These results indicate that AWiFS can be used instead of Landsat data to detect multitemporal disturbance in the event of Landsat data discontinuity.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"International Journal of Remote Sensing","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","publisherLocation":"Philadelphia, PA","doi":"10.1080/01431161.2012.743690","usgsCitation":"Chen, X., Vogelmann, J., Chander, G., Ji, L., Tolk, B., Huang, C., and Rollins, M., 2013, Cross-sensor comparisons between Landsat 5 TM and IRS-P6 AWiFS and disturbance detection using integrated Landsat and AWiFS time-series images: International Journal of Remote Sensing, v. 34, no. 7, p. 2432-2453, https://doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2012.743690.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"2432","endPage":"2453","ipdsId":"IP-022909","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269159,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":269158,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2012.743690"}],"volume":"34","issue":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-12-12","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5140407ee4b089809dbf43e7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Chen, Xuexia","contributorId":14213,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chen","given":"Xuexia","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":471526,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Vogelmann, James E. 0000-0002-0804-5823 vogel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0804-5823","contributorId":649,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vogelmann","given":"James E.","email":"vogel@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":471523,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Chander, Gyanesh gchander@usgs.gov","contributorId":3013,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chander","given":"Gyanesh","email":"gchander@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":471525,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Ji, Lei 0000-0002-6133-1036 lji@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6133-1036","contributorId":2832,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ji","given":"Lei","email":"lji@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":471524,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Tolk, Brian 0000-0002-9060-0266","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9060-0266","contributorId":62426,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tolk","given":"Brian","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":471528,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Huang, Chengquan","contributorId":25378,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Huang","given":"Chengquan","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":471527,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Rollins, Matthew","contributorId":72347,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rollins","given":"Matthew","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":471529,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collaborates with Federal, State, and local agencies to minimize the effects of natural hazards by providing timely, unbiased science information to emergency response officials, resource managers, and the public to help reduce property damage, injury, and loss of life. The USGS often mobilizes response efforts during and after a natural hazard event to provide technical and scientific counsel on recovery and response, and it has a long history of deploying emergency response teams to major disasters in both domestic and international locations. This chapter describes the challenges of natural hazards in the United States–Mexican border region and the capabilities of the USGS in the fields of hazard research, monitoring, and assessment, as well as preventative mitigation and post-disaster response.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS

The unprecedented observational capacity of modern earth-orbiting satellites coupled with the development of robust computational representations (models) of the Earth’s weather and climate systems afford us the opportunity to observe and investigate how these systems work now, how they have worked in the past, and how they will work in the future when forced in specific ways. In the most recent report on global climate change by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC; Solomon and others, 2007), analyses using multiple climate models support recent observations that the Earth’s climate is changing in response to a combination of natural and human-induced causes. These changes will be significant in the United States–Mexican border region, where the process of climate change affects all of the Borderlands challenge themes discussed in the preceding chapters. The dual possibilities of both significantly-changed climate and increasing variability in climate make it challenging to take full measure of the potential effects because the Borderlands already experience a high degree of interannual variability and climatological extremes.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's

The Borderlands have become a microcosm for the entire United States and Mexico; the issues faced in that region are felt throughout both nations—water availability and quality, ecosystem health, natural resource needs, safety from natural hazards, and human socioeconomic well-being. If these issues were not challenging enough, we now recognize that the difficulties of addressing them are exacerbated by the onset of climate change, and as we come to better understand the complexities of the components of these challenge themes, we discover that each part is inextricably intertwined with other overarching issues. Further, because we are a creative and progressive society, we all seek to understand and appreciate the natural environments associated with the Borderlands while at the same time benefitting from the region’s many social and economic values. It is little wonder that we as a society find it increasingly difficult to ask the right questions, much less find suitable answers to the questions we do ask. For the many scientists who have worked in the Borderlands and contributed to the preceding chapters, this circular is a way to describe to the two nations of the region the capabilities the U.S. Geological Survey can provide to assist in that quest for knowledge and understanding in preparation for the future.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science (Circular 1380)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/cir138011","usgsCitation":"Updike, R.G., and Page, W.R., 2013, An opportunity and an imperative: Chapter 11 in  <i>United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science</i>: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1380, 10 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir138011.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"272","endPage":"281","numberOfPages":"11","costCenters":[{"id":572,"text":"Southwest Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269151,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/cir138011.gif"},{"id":269149,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1380/downloads/Chapter11.pdf"},{"id":269150,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1380/"}],"country":"Mexico, United States","otherGeospatial":"United States-Mexico Borderlands","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -97.646484375,\n              24.246964554300924\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.6796875,\n              25.918526162075153\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.0751953125,\n              27.254629577800063\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.4375,\n              29.49698759653577\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.931640625,\n              30.713503990354965\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.22753906249999,\n              31.015278981711266\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.853515625,\n              32.65787573695528\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.34765625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.5009765625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.302734375,\n              32.95336814579932\n            ],\n            [\n              -112.939453125,\n              33.54139466898275\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.43359375,\n              33.8339199536547\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.158203125,\n              33.54139466898275\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.8173828125,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.20214843749999,\n              31.690781806136822\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.9169921875,\n              31.50362930577303\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.8740234375,\n              30.06909396443887\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.2373046875,\n              30.14512718337613\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.16113281249999,\n              28.22697003891834\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.71093749999999,\n              27.488781168937997\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.90917968749999,\n              27.68352808378776\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.36035156249999,\n              25.363882272740256\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.3056640625,\n              24.686952411999155\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.646484375,\n              24.246964554300924\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5140404fe4b089809dbf43db","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Updike, Randall G. updike@usgs.gov","contributorId":334,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Updike","given":"Randall","email":"updike@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":475865,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Page, William R. 0000-0002-0722-9911 rpage@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0722-9911","contributorId":1628,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Page","given":"William","email":"rpage@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475866,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The purpose of the databases is to (1) provide useful data to ground-survey crews for use in performing detailed assessments of the areas and (2) provide useful information to private investors who are considering investment in a particular area for development of its natural resources. The set of satellite-image mosaics provided in this Data Series (DS) is one such database. Although airborne digital color-infrared imagery was acquired for parts of Afghanistan in 2006, the image data have radiometric variations that preclude their use in creating a consistent image mosaic for geologic analysis. Consequently, image mosaics were created using ALOS (Advanced Land Observation Satellite; renamed Daichi) satellite images, whose radiometry has been well determined (Saunier, 2007a,b). This part of the DS consists of the locally enhanced ALOS image mosaics for the Bakhud mineral district, which has industrial fluorite deposits.\n\nALOS was launched on January 24, 2006, and provides multispectral images from the AVNIR (Advanced Visible and Near-Infrared Radiometer) sensor in blue (420–500 nanometer, nm), green (520–600 nm), red (610–690 nm), and near-infrared (760–890 nm) wavelength bands with an 8-bit dynamic range and a 10-meter (m) ground resolution. The satellite also provides a panchromatic band image from the PRISM (Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping) sensor (520–770 nm) with the same dynamic range but a 2.5-m ground resolution. The image products in this DS incorporate copyrighted data provided by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (©JAXA,2006,2007, 2008), but the image processing has altered the original pixel structure and all image values of the JAXA ALOS data, such that original image values cannot be recreated from this DS. As such, the DS products match JAXA criteria for value added products, which are not copyrighted, according to the ALOS end-user license agreement.\n\nThe selection criteria for the satellite imagery used in our mosaics were images having (1) the highest solar-elevation angles (near summer solstice) and (2) the least cloud, cloud-shadow, and snow cover. The multispectral and panchromatic data were orthorectified with ALOS satellite ephemeris data, a process which is not as accurate as orthorectification using digital elevation models (DEMs); however, the ALOS processing center did not have a precise DEM. As a result, the multispectral and panchromatic image pairs were generally not well registered to the surface and not coregistered well enough to perform resolution enhancement on the multispectral data. Therefore, it was necessary to (1) register the 10-m AVNIR multispectral imagery to a well-controlled Landsat image base, (2) mosaic the individual multispectral images into a single image of the entire area of interest, (3) register each panchromatic image to the registered multispectral image base, and (4) mosaic the individual panchromatic images into a single image of the entire area of interest. The two image-registration steps were facilitated using an automated control-point algorithm developed by the USGS that allows image coregistration to within one picture element. Before rectification, the multispectral and panchromatic images were converted to radiance values and then to relative-reflectance values using the methods described in Davis (2006). Mosaicking the multispectral or panchromatic images started with the image with the highest sun-elevation angle and the least atmospheric scattering, which was treated as the standard image. The band-reflectance values of all other multispectral or panchromatic images within the area were sequentially adjusted to that of the standard image by determining band-reflectance correspondence between overlapping images using linear least-squares analysis. The resolution of the multispectral image mosaic was then increased to that of the panchromatic image mosaic using the SPARKLE logic, which is described in Davis (2006). Each of the four-band images within the resolution-enhanced image mosaic was individually subjected to a local-area histogram stretch algorithm (described in Davis, 2007), which stretches each band’s picture element based on the digital values of all picture elements within a 315-m radius. The final databases, which are provided in this DS, are three-band, color-composite images of the local-area-enhanced, natural-color data (the blue, green, and red wavelength bands) and color-infrared data (the green, red, and near-infrared wavelength bands).\n\nAll image data were initially projected and maintained in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) map projection using the target area’s local zone (41 for Bakhud) and the WGS84 datum. The final image mosaics were subdivided into nine overlapping tiles or quadrants because of the large size of the target area. The nine image tiles (or quadrants) for the Bakhud area are provided as embedded geotiff images, which can be read and used by most geographic information system (GIS) and image-processing software. The tiff world files (tfw) are provided, even though they are generally not needed for most software to read an embedded geotiff image.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Local-area-enhanced, high-resolution natural-color and color-infrared satellite-image mosaics of mineral districts in Afghanistan (DS 709)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ds709U","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense Task Force for Business and Stability Operations and the Afghanistan Geological Survey; This report is Chapter U in Local-area-enhanced, high-resolution natural-color and color-infrared satellite-image mosaics of mineral districts in Afghanistan (DS 709)","usgsCitation":"Davis, P.A., and Cagney, L.E., 2013, Local-area-enhanced, 2.5-meter resolution natural-color and color-infrared satellite-image mosaics of the Bakhud mineral district in Afghanistan: Chapter U in <i>Local-area-enhanced, high-resolution natural-color and color-infrared satellite-image mosaics of mineral districts in Afghanistan</i>: U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 709, HTML Document; Readme; 4 Index Maps: 37 x 39 inches; 18 Image Files; Metadata; 1 Shapefile, https://doi.org/10.3133/ds709U.","productDescription":"HTML Document; Readme; 4 Index Maps: 37 x 39 inches; 18 Image Files; Metadata; 1 Shapefile","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[{"id":387,"text":"Mineral Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269192,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ds709U.png"},{"id":269187,"type":{"id":7,"text":"Companion Files"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/709/u/index_maps/index_maps.html"},{"id":269188,"type":{"id":14,"text":"Image"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/709/u/image_files/image_files.html"},{"id":269185,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/709/u/"},{"id":269186,"type":{"id":20,"text":"Read Me"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/709/u/1_readme.txt"},{"id":269189,"type":{"id":16,"text":"Metadata"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/709/u/metadata/metadata.html"},{"id":269190,"type":{"id":7,"text":"Companion Files"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/709/u/shapefiles/shapefiles.html"},{"id":269191,"type":{"id":22,"text":"Related Work"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/709/index.html"}],"country":"Afghanistan","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ 58.0,28.0 ], [ 58.0,40.0 ], [ 78.0,40.0 ], [ 78.0,28.0 ], [ 58.0,28.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5140407fe4b089809dbf43eb","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Davis, Philip A. pdavis@usgs.gov","contributorId":692,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Davis","given":"Philip","email":"pdavis@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":509263,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1}],"authors":[{"text":"Davis, Philip A. pdavis@usgs.gov","contributorId":692,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Davis","given":"Philip","email":"pdavis@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":475873,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cagney, Laura E. 0000-0003-3282-2458 lcagney@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3282-2458","contributorId":4744,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cagney","given":"Laura","email":"lcagney@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475874,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The modified MT3DMS code uses a volume-averaged approach in which Lagrangian-based UZF1 fluid fluxes and storage changes are mapped onto a fixed grid. Referred to as UZF-MT3DMS, the linked model was tested against published benchmarks solved analytically as well as against other published codes, most frequently the U.S. Geological Survey's Variably-Saturated Two-Dimensional Flow and Transport Model. Results from a suite of test cases demonstrate that the modified code accurately simulates solute advection, dispersion, and reaction in the unsaturated zone. Two- and three-dimensional simulations also were investigated to ensure unsaturated-saturated zone interaction was simulated correctly. Because the UZF1 solution is analytical, large-scale flow and transport investigations can be performed free from the computational and data burdens required by numerical solutions to Richards' equation. Results demonstrate that significant simulation runtime savings can be achieved with UZF-MT3DMS, an important development when hundreds or thousands of model runs are required during parameter estimation and uncertainty analysis. Three-dimensional variably saturated flow and transport simulations revealed UZF-MT3DMS to have runtimes that are less than one tenth of the time required by models that rely on Richards' equation. Given its accuracy and efficiency, and the wide-spread use of both MODFLOW and MT3DMS, the added capability of unsaturated-zone transport in this familiar modeling framework stands to benefit a broad user-ship.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Ground Water","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","publisherLocation":"Hoboken, NJ","doi":"10.1111/j.1745-6584.2012.00971.x","usgsCitation":"Morway, E., Niswonger, R., Langevin, C.D., Bailey, R., and Healy, R.W., 2013, Modeling variably saturated subsurface solute transport with MODFLOW-UZF and MT3DMS: Ground Water, v. 51, no. 2, p. 237-251, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2012.00971.x.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"237","endPage":"251","ipdsId":"IP-034540","costCenters":[{"id":465,"text":"Nevada Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473920,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2012.00971.x","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":269092,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2012.00971.x"},{"id":269093,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"51","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-07-26","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"513eeee1e4b0dcc73396934b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Morway, Eric D.","contributorId":72276,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Morway","given":"Eric D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475755,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Niswonger, Richard G.","contributorId":45402,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Niswonger","given":"Richard G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475754,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Langevin, Christian D. 0000-0001-5610-9759 langevin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5610-9759","contributorId":1030,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Langevin","given":"Christian","email":"langevin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":37778,"text":"WMA - Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475753,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bailey, Ryan T.","contributorId":105986,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bailey","given":"Ryan T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":475756,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Healy, Richard W. 0000-0002-0224-1858 rwhealy@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0224-1858","contributorId":658,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Healy","given":"Richard","email":"rwhealy@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475752,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science Web site at http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgage at Saluda River near Greenville, South Carolina (station 02162500). Current conditions at the USGS streamgage may be obtained through the National Water Information System Web site at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/sc/nwis/uv/?site_no=02162500&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060,00062. The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts flood hydrographs at many places that are often collocated with USGS streamgages. Forecasted peak-stage information is available on the Internet at the NWS Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) flood-warning system Web site (http://water.weather.gov/ahps/) and may be used in conjunction with the maps developed in this study to show predicted areas of flood inundation.In this study, flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated using the most current stage-streamflow relations at USGS streamgage station 02162500, Saluda River near Greenville, South Carolina. The hydraulic model was then used to determine water-surface profiles for flood stages at 1.0-foot intervals referenced to the streamgage datum and ranging from approximately bankfull to 2 feet higher than the highest recorded water level at the streamgage. The simulated water-surface profiles were then exported to a geographic information system, ArcGIS, and combined with a digital elevation model (derived from Light Detection and Ranging [LiDAR] data with a 0.6-foot vertical Root Mean Square Error [RMSE] and a 3.0-foot horizontal RMSE), using HEC-GeoRAS tools in order to delineate the area flooded at each water level. The availability of these maps, along with real-time stage data from the USGS streamgage station 02162500 and forecasted stream stages from the NWS, can provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical during flood-response and flood-recovery activities, such as evacuations, road closures, and disaster declarations.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sim3244","usgsCitation":"Benedict, S., Caldwell, A.W., and Clark, J.M., 2013, Flood-inundation maps for the Saluda River from Old Easley Bridge Road to Saluda Lake Dam near Greenville, South Carolina: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3244, Pamphlet: v, 7 p.;

Society is dependent on the long-term healthy functioning of ecosystems and their ability to supply food and raw materials. Likewise, resources and services obtained from nature could be used efficiently within the society. A more equitable distribution of costs and benefits related to goods and services can lead to fewer tensions and a higher quality of life for all the people in the Borderlands. Urban development, background contamination from mineral ore deposits, irrigation, sewage effluent, and even global climate change all have the potential to alter the stability of the fragile systems in the Borderlands (Brady and others, 2001, 2002; Norman, 2007, 2010; Gu and others, 2008; Norman, Gray, and others, 2008; Norman, Hirsch, and Ward, 2008; Norman, Callegary, and others, 2010; Norman, Huth, and others, 2010; Norman, Levick, and others, 2010; Norman, Tallent-Halsell, and others, 2010; Norman, Villarreal, and others 2012). Social efficiency means that because resources should be used where they are needed most, they should be distributed proportionally among human societies and individuals (Azar and others, 1996). Despite the critical role natural resources play in maintaining human and environmental health, current knowledge of the manner in which natural and human-caused forces interact to limit these resources—including their quality and quantity (such as through spatiotemporal changes in precipitation, evapotranspiration, pumping of groundwater, and release of contaminants)—is inadequate. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is trying to understand the relation between changing landscapes, changing demographics, and a changing climate in the Borderlands while the environmental, economic, and societal issues continue to be intertwined between the two nations.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges

Water shortages and pollution, poor air quality, increased soil salinities, and pesticides and heavy metal contaminants are some of the many stressors that are degrading the quality of life in the Borderlands. Lack of water treatment and wastewater infrastructure on both sides of the United States–Mexican border contributes to elevated rates of various communicable diseases most commonly found in developing countries: tuberculosis, intestinal infections, and hepatitis. Chronic diseases (diabetes, cancer, and heart disease) also prevail at high rates along the border, resembling trends observed in developed countries. In addition, the subtropical climate of the Borderlands is particularly suited for vectors of tropical diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science (Circular 1380)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/cir13805","usgsCitation":"Papoulias, D.M., and Parcher, J.W., 2013, Challenge theme 3: Protecting the environment and safeguarding human health: Chapter 5 in <i>United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science</i>: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1380, 24 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir13805.","productDescription":"24 p.","startPage":"92","endPage":"115","numberOfPages":"25","costCenters":[{"id":572,"text":"Southwest Region","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":34983,"text":"Contaminant Biology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269117,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/cir13805.gif"},{"id":269115,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1380/downloads/Chapter5.pdf"},{"id":269116,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1380/"}],"country":"Mexico, United States","otherGeospatial":"United States-Mexico Borderlands","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -97.646484375,\n              24.246964554300924\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.6796875,\n              25.918526162075153\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.0751953125,\n              27.254629577800063\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.4375,\n              29.49698759653577\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.931640625,\n              30.713503990354965\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.22753906249999,\n              31.015278981711266\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.853515625,\n              32.65787573695528\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.34765625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.5009765625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.302734375,\n              32.95336814579932\n            ],\n            [\n              -112.939453125,\n              33.54139466898275\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.43359375,\n              33.8339199536547\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.158203125,\n              33.54139466898275\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.8173828125,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.20214843749999,\n              31.690781806136822\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.9169921875,\n              31.50362930577303\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.8740234375,\n              30.06909396443887\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.2373046875,\n              30.14512718337613\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.16113281249999,\n              28.22697003891834\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.71093749999999,\n              27.488781168937997\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.90917968749999,\n              27.68352808378776\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.36035156249999,\n              25.363882272740256\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.3056640625,\n              24.686952411999155\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.646484375,\n              24.246964554300924\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"513eeedbe4b0dcc733969333","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Papoulias, Diana M. 0000-0002-5106-2469 dpapoulias@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5106-2469","contributorId":2726,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Papoulias","given":"Diana","email":"dpapoulias@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":475842,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Parcher, Jean W. jwparcher@usgs.gov","contributorId":2209,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Parcher","given":"Jean","email":"jwparcher@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":475841,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Water users compete for resources, and their needs are increasing. Managers are faced with issues such as finding a balance between agriculture and rapidly growing cities or maintaining public supplies while ensuring sufficient resources for aquatic ecosystems. In addition to human factors, the dry climate of the Borderlands, as compared to more temperate regions, also increases the challenge of balancing water supplies between humans and ecosystems. Warmer, drier, and more variable conditions across the southwestern United States—the projected results of climate change (Seager and others, 2007)—would further stress water supplies.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science (Circular

Six diverse ecoregions cover the length of the border (fig. 3–1): California Coastal Sage, Chaparral, and Oak Woodlands; Sonoran Desert; Madrean Archipelago; Chihuahuan Desert; Southern\nTexas Plains; and Western Gulf Coastal Plain. The unique geology and many of the distinctive geographic features and climatic conditions that have given rise to the diverse populations of plants and animals found in the Borderlands also attract human populations. The number of people living in the Borderlands has increased dramatically over recent years, from about 7 million in 1980 to almost 12 million in 2003; the population is estimated to be more than 18 million by 2020 (Peach and Williams, 2003). The human population increase and associated change in land use have contributed to habitat fragmentation and habitat loss for native species, thus threatening their survival. Some ways in which humans negatively affect plants and animals in the Borderlands include dewatering of aquatic ecosystems, water pollution, introduction and spread of invasive species, outdoor lighting, military and border enforcement activity, and energy development and transmission.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science (Circular 1380)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/cir13803","usgsCitation":"Moring, J., Papoulias, D.M., and van Riper, C., 2013, Challenge theme 1: Understanding and preserving ecological resources: Chapter 3 in <i>United States-Mexican Borderlands: Facing tomorrow's challenges through USGS science</i>: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1380, 23 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir13803.","productDescription":"23 p.","startPage":"42","endPage":"63","numberOfPages":"23","costCenters":[{"id":572,"text":"Southwest Region","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":34983,"text":"Contaminant Biology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":269111,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/cir13803.gif"},{"id":269109,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1380/"},{"id":269110,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1380/downloads/Chapter3.pdf"}],"country":"Mexico, United States","otherGeospatial":"United States-Mexico Borderlands","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -97.646484375,\n              24.246964554300924\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.6796875,\n              25.918526162075153\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.0751953125,\n              27.254629577800063\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.4375,\n              29.49698759653577\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.931640625,\n              30.713503990354965\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.22753906249999,\n              31.015278981711266\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.853515625,\n              32.65787573695528\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.34765625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.5009765625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.302734375,\n              32.95336814579932\n            ],\n            [\n              -112.939453125,\n              33.54139466898275\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.43359375,\n              33.8339199536547\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.158203125,\n              33.54139466898275\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.8173828125,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.20214843749999,\n              31.690781806136822\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.9169921875,\n              31.50362930577303\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.8740234375,\n              30.06909396443887\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.2373046875,\n              30.14512718337613\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.16113281249999,\n              28.22697003891834\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.71093749999999,\n              27.488781168937997\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.90917968749999,\n              27.68352808378776\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.36035156249999,\n              25.363882272740256\n            ],\n            [\n              -98.3056640625,\n              24.686952411999155\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.646484375,\n              24.246964554300924\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"513eeecfe4b0dcc73396932b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Moring, J.
