The Northern Circumpolar Soil Carbon Database (NCSCD), extended to include the range 0–300 cm, is now available online for wider use by the scientific community. An important future aim is to provide quantitative uncertainty ranges for C pool estimates. Recent studies have greatly improved understanding of the regional patterns, landscape distribution and vertical (soil horizon) partitioning of the permafrost C pool in the upper 3 m of soils. However, the deeper C pools in unconsolidated Quaternary deposits need to be better constrained. A general lability classification of the permafrost C pool should be developed to address potential C release upon thaw. The permafrost C pool and its dynamics are beginning to be incorporated into Earth System models, although key periglacial processes such as thermokarst still need to be properly represented to obtain a better quantification of the full permafrost C feedback on global climate change.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Permafrost and Periglacial Processes","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"John Wiley & Sons","publisherLocation":"Sussex, England","doi":"10.1002/ppp.1782","usgsCitation":"Kuhry, P., Grosse, G., Harden, J., Hugelius, G., Koven, C., Ping, C., Schirrmeister, L., and Tarnocai, C., 2013, Characterisation of the Permafrost Carbon Pool: Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, v. 24, no. 2, p. 146-155, https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp.1782.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"146","endPage":"155","numberOfPages":"10","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":473748,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp.1782","text":"External Repository"},{"id":291108,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":291107,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ppp.1782"}],"volume":"24","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-06-12","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57f7f2cbe4b0bc0bec0a05d4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kuhry, P.","contributorId":57277,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kuhry","given":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":496608,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Grosse, G.","contributorId":82140,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grosse","given":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":496611,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Harden, J.W. 0000-0002-6570-8259","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6570-8259","contributorId":38585,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Harden","given":"J.W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":496606,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hugelius, G.","contributorId":27338,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hugelius","given":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":496604,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Koven, C.D.","contributorId":34017,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Koven","given":"C.D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":496605,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Ping, C.-L.","contributorId":60843,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ping","given":"C.-L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":496609,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Schirrmeister, L.","contributorId":41355,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schirrmeister","given":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":496607,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Tarnocai, C.","contributorId":67391,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tarnocai","given":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":496610,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

This model was used to generate ten maps that included (1) five contour maps characterizing the depth to the surface defined by the first occurrence of isopressure gradients ranging from 0.60 psi/ft to 1.00 psi/ft, in 0.10-psi/ft increments; and (2) five supporting maps illustrating the spatial density of the data used to construct the contour maps. These contour maps of isopressure-gradients at various increments enable the identification and quantification of the occurrence, magnitude, location, and depth of the subsurface pressure system, which allows for the broad characterization of regions exhibiting overpressured, underpressured, and normally pressured strata.\n\nIdentification of overpressured regions is critical for exploration and evaluation of potential undiscovered hydrocarbon accumulations based on petroleum-generation pressure signatures and pressure-retention properties of reservoir seals. Characterization of normally pressured regions is essential for field development decisions such as determining the dominant production drive mechanisms, evaluating well placement and drainage patterns, and deciding on well stimulation methods such as hydraulic fracturing. Identification of underpressured regions is essential for evaluating the feasibility of geological sequestration and long-term containment of fluids such as supercritical carbon dioxide for alternative disposal methods of greenhouse gases.\n\nThis study is the first, quantitative investigation of the regional pressure systems of one of the most important petroleum provinces in the United States.

It is important that the purpose or objective of the study be identified first before choosing the type and complexity of the model to be constructed, and to make sure such a model is necessary. The purpose of a modelling study is most often to characterize the system within a numerical framework, such that the hydrological responses of the system can be tested under potential stresses that might be imposed given future development scenarios. As this manual discusses dating as it applies to old groundwater, most readers are likely to be interested in studying regional groundwater flow systems and their water resource potential.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Isotope Methods for Dating Old Groundwater","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":4,"text":"Other Government Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"International Atomic Energy Agency","publisherLocation":"Vienna, Austria","usgsCitation":"Sanford, W., 2013, Numerical flow models and their calibration using tracer based ages, chap. 10 <i>of</i> Isotope Methods for Dating Old Groundwater, p. 245-258.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"245","endPage":"258","costCenters":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":273673,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273672,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www-pub.iaea.org/books/iaeabooks/8880/Isotope-Methods-for-Dating-Old-Groundwater"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5de4b07b9df6070f32","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sanford, W.","contributorId":76490,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sanford","given":"W.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479717,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

We used a before–after experimental design to follow the process of colonization by steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss (anadromous Rainbow Trout) at six monitoring sites in a natal stream, Beaver Creek, after the modification or removal of numerous stream passage barriers. Juvenile O. mykiss were collected at monitoring sites by using a backpack electrofisher. Passive integrated transponder tags and instream tag reading stations were used in combination with 16 microsatellite markers to determine the source, extent, and success of migrant O. mykiss after implementation of the barrier removal projects. Steelhead migrated into the study area during the first spawning season after passage was established. Hatchery steelhead, although comprising more than 80% of the adult returns to the Methow River basin, constituted a small proportion (23%) of the adult O. mykiss colonizing the study area. Adult steelhead and fluvial Rainbow Trout entered the stream during the first spawning season after barrier removal and were passing the uppermost tag reader (12 km upstream from the mouth) 3–4 years later. Parr that were tagged in Beaver Creek returned as adults, indicating establishment of the anadromous life history in the study area. Population genetic measures at the lower two monitoring sites (lower 4 km of Beaver Creek) significantly changed within one generation (4–5 years). Colonization and expansion of steelhead occurred more slowly than expected due to the low number of adults migrating into the study area.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Transactions of the American Fisheries Society","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/00028487.2013.788560","usgsCitation":"Weigel, D.E., Connolly, P., Martens, K.D., and Powell, M.S., 2013, Colonization of steelhead in a natal stream after barrier removal: Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, v. 142, no. 4, p. 920-930, https://doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2013.788560.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"920","endPage":"930","ipdsId":"IP-037761","costCenters":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473750,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2013.788560","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":273635,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273634,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2013.788560"}],"volume":"142","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-05-31","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5be4b07b9df6070f16","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Weigel, Dana E.","contributorId":79389,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Weigel","given":"Dana","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479632,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Connolly, Patrick J. 0000-0001-7365-7618 pconnolly@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7365-7618","contributorId":2920,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Connolly","given":"Patrick J.","email":"pconnolly@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479629,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Martens, Kyle D.","contributorId":12740,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martens","given":"Kyle","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479630,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Powell, Madison S.","contributorId":33609,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Powell","given":"Madison","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479631,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

This assay involves controlled, sequential infections of a natural, vertebrate host, Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout), with variants of a co-evolved viral pathogen, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). Intervals between infections ranged from 12 hours to 7 days, and both frequency of superinfection and viral replication levels were examined. Using virus genotype pairs of equal and unequal virulence, we observed that superinfection generally occurred with decreasing frequency as the interval between exposures to each genotype increased. For both the equal virulence and unequal virulence genotype pairs, the frequency of superinfection was the same regardless of which genotype was used in the primary exposure. However, the ability to replicate in the context of superinfection did not differ between the genotypes of equal or unequal virulence tested here. For both genotype pairs, the mean viral load of the secondary virus was significantly reduced in superinfection, while primary virus replication was unaffected. Our results demonstrate, for the two genotype pairs examined, that superinfection restriction does occur for IHNV, and that higher virulence did not correlate with a significant difference in superinfection fitness. To our knowledge, this is the first assay to examine the role of virulence of an RNA virus in determining superinfection fitness dynamics within a natural, vertebrate host.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Virology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Society for Mivrobiology","doi":"10.1128/JVI.00089-13","usgsCitation":"Kell, A.M., Wargo, A.R., and Kurath, G., 2013, The role of virulence for in vivo superinfection fitness of a vertebrate RNA virus: Journal of Virology, v. 87, no. 14, p. 8145-8157, https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00089-13.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"8145","endPage":"8157","ipdsId":"IP-045156","costCenters":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473752,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.00089-13","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":273639,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273638,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00089-13"}],"volume":"87","issue":"14","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5fe4b07b9df6070f42","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kell, Alison M. amkell@usgs.gov","contributorId":4553,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kell","given":"Alison","email":"amkell@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":479627,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wargo, Andrew R.","contributorId":47260,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wargo","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":479628,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kurath, Gael 0000-0003-3294-560X gkurath@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3294-560X","contributorId":2629,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kurath","given":"Gael","email":"gkurath@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479626,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The objective of this review was to compare notes on the historical and current management of ecosystems around the world (especially in wet to dry grasslands in the Americas, Australia, Africa, Europe and Asia) with respect to the usage of fire, grazing and cutting to reduce dominance and support the biodiversity of rare species. This review suggests that former disturbances, which are now often lost, may have once kept tall vegetation from pushing out rarer subdominant species. In cases where prehistoric biodiversity depended on fire or large ungulate grazing, traditional agricultural and indigenous practices may have carried biodiversity forward to historical times by mimicking pre-cultural disturbances (e.g., lightning fire and bison grazing). Ironically, biodiversity related to species richness, landscape heterogeneity and function may decline in preserves, especially if traditional management once maintained this biodiversity. Managers can benefit from a cross-continental comparison of the full arsenal of management techniques used to control encroaching vegetation.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Biological Conservation","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.biocon.2012.10.003","usgsCitation":"Middleton, B.A., 2013, Rediscovering traditional vegetation management in preserves: trading experiences between cultures and continents: Biological Conservation, v. 158, p. 271-279, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2012.10.003.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"271","endPage":"279","ipdsId":"IP-033495","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473753,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2012.10.003","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":273637,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273617,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2012.10.003"}],"volume":"158","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5ee4b07b9df6070f3a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Middleton, Beth A. 0000-0002-1220-2326 middletonb@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1220-2326","contributorId":2029,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Middleton","given":"Beth","email":"middletonb@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479641,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Increasing interest in quantifying coal fire emissions has resulted in the adaptation and development of specialized approaches and adoption of numerical modeling techniques.

Here we take advantage of stochastic Gaussian simulation to interpolate CO<sup>2</sup> fluxes measured using a dynamic closed chamber at the Ruth Mullins coal fire in Perry County, Kentucky. This approach allows for preparing a map of diffuse gas emissions, one of the two primary ways that gases emanate from coal fires, and establishing the reliability of the study both locally and for the entire fire.

Here, we investigate the sedimentary fingerprint of the 2011 Mississippi River flood across the Louisiana coast (Atchafalaya Delta, Terrebonne, Barataria, and Mississippi River Delta basins) to assess spatial patterns of sedimentation and to identify key indicators of sediment provenance. The sediment deposited in wetlands during the 2011 flood was distinguished from earlier deposits based on biological characteristics, primarily absence of plant roots and increased presence of centric (planktonic) diatoms indicative of riverine origin. By comparison, the lithological (bulk density, organic matter content, and grain size) and chemical (stable carbon isotopes of bulk organic matter) properties of flood sediments were nearly identical to the underlying deposit. Flood sediment deposition was greatest in wetlands near the Atchafalaya and Mississippi Rivers and accounted for a substantial portion (37% to 85%) of the annual accretion measured at nearby monitoring stations. The amount of sediment delivered to those basins (1.1–1.6 g cm<sup>−2</sup>) was comparable to that reported previously for hurricane sedimentation along the Louisiana coast (0.8–2.1 g cm<sup>−2</sup>). Our findings not only provide insight into how large-scale river floods influence wetland sedimentation, they lay the groundwork for identifying previous flood events in the stratigraphic record.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Geology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"GSA","doi":"10.1130/G33805.1","usgsCitation":"Khan, N., Horton, B.P., McKee, K.L., Jerolmack, D., Falcini, F., Enache, M.D., and Vane, C.H., 2013, Tracking sedimentation from the historic A.D. 2011 Mississippi River flood in the deltaic wetlands of Louisiana, USA: Geology, v. 41, no. 4, p. 391-394, https://doi.org/10.1130/G33805.1.","productDescription":"4 p.","startPage":"391","endPage":"394","ipdsId":"IP-039025","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473754,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/501027/1/NORA_Geology_Manuscript.pdf","text":"External Repository"},{"id":273652,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273644,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1130/G33805.1"}],"country":"United States","state":"Louisiana","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -94.0434,28.9254 ], [ -94.0434,33.0195 ], [ -88.8162,33.0195 ], [ -88.8162,28.9254 ], [ -94.0434,28.9254 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"41","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5fe4b07b9df6070f46","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Khan, Nicole S.","contributorId":52466,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Khan","given":"Nicole S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479683,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Horton, Benjamin P.","contributorId":63641,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Horton","given":"Benjamin","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479684,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McKee, Karen L. 0000-0001-7042-670X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7042-670X","contributorId":8927,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McKee","given":"Karen","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479679,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Jerolmack, Douglas","contributorId":36277,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jerolmack","given":"Douglas","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479682,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Falcini, Federico","contributorId":10305,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Falcini","given":"Federico","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479680,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Enache, Mihaela D.","contributorId":12356,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Enache","given":"Mihaela","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479681,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Vane, Christopher H.","contributorId":88255,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vane","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479685,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

We evaluated the non-consumptive effects (NCEs) of an active predator, the grey wolf (Canis lupus), by simultaneously tracking wolves and the behaviour, body fat, and pregnancy of elk (Cervus elaphus), their primary prey in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. When wolves approached within 1 km, elk increased their rates of movement, displacement and vigilance. Even in high-risk areas, however, these encounters occurred only once every 9 days. Ultimately, despite 20-fold variation in the frequency of encounters between wolves and individual elk, the risk of predation was not associated with elk body fat or pregnancy. Our findings suggest that the ecological consequences of actively hunting large carnivores, such as the wolf, are more likely transmitted by consumptive effects on prey survival than NCEs on prey behaviour.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Ecology Letters","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/ele.12133","usgsCitation":"Middleton, A., Kauffman, M., McWhirter, D.E., Jimenez, M.D., Cook, R.C., Cook, J.G., Albeke, S.E., Sawyer, H., and White, P., 2013, Linking anti-predator behaviour to prey demography reveals limited risk effects of an actively hunting large carnivore: Ecology Letters, v. 16, no. 8, p. 1023-1030, https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.12133.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"1023","endPage":"1030","ipdsId":"IP-042139","costCenters":[{"id":683,"text":"Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":273631,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273630,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/ele.12133"}],"country":"United States","state":"Montana;Wyoming;Idaho","otherGeospatial":"Yellowstone","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -117.24,40.99 ], [ -117.24,49.0 ], [ -104.04,49.0 ], [ -104.04,40.99 ], [ -117.24,40.99 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"16","issue":"8","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-06-10","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5de4b07b9df6070f2e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Middleton, Arthur D.","contributorId":99440,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Middleton","given":"Arthur D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479657,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kauffman, Matthew J. 0000-0003-0127-3900 mkauffman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0127-3900","contributorId":2963,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kauffman","given":"Matthew J.","email":"mkauffman@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":595,"text":"U.S. Geological Survey","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":479649,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McWhirter, Douglas E.","contributorId":90623,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McWhirter","given":"Douglas","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479655,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Jimenez, Michael D.","contributorId":14717,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jimenez","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479651,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Cook, Rachel C.","contributorId":19064,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cook","given":"Rachel","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479652,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Cook, John G.","contributorId":12903,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cook","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479650,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Albeke, Shannon E.","contributorId":81781,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Albeke","given":"Shannon","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479654,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Sawyer, Hall","contributorId":39930,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sawyer","given":"Hall","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479653,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"White, P.J.","contributorId":91436,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"White","given":"P.J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479656,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

They can also interact, creating opportunities for ecosystem based management, ecological restoration, and water quality improvement that can positively affect people and the environment. Yet the effect of environmental quality on human behavior is often poorly quantified, but commonly assumed in coastal ecosystem service studies. To clarify this effect we investigate a water quality dataset for evidence that environmental condition partially explains variation in recreational visitation, our indicator of human behavior. In Puget Sound, WA, we investigate variation in visitation in both visitation rate and fixed effects (FE) models. The visitation rate model relates the differences in annual recreational visitation among parks to environmental conditions, park characteristics, travel cost, and recreational demand. In our FE model we control for all time-invariant unobserved variables and compare monthly variation at the park level to determine how water quality affects visitation during the summer season. The results of our first model illustrate how visitation relates to various amenities and costs. In the FE analysis, monthly visitation was negatively related to water quality while controlling for monthly visitation trends. This indicates people are responding to changes in water quality, and an improvement would yield an increase in the value of recreation. Together, these results could help in prioritizing water quality improvements, could assist the creation of new parks or the modification of existing recreational infrastructure, and provide quantitative estimates for the expected benefits from potential changes in recreational visitation and water quality improvements. Our results also provide an example of how recreational visitation can be quantified and used in ecosystem service assessments.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"PLoS ONE","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Public Library of Science","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0056670","usgsCitation":"Kreitler, J., Papenfus, M., Byrd, K., and Labiosa, W., 2013, Interacting coastal based ecosystem services: recreation and water quality in Puget Sound, WA: PLoS ONE, v. 8, no. 2, e56670, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0056670.","productDescription":"e56670","ipdsId":"IP-030510","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473751,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0056670","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":273658,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273657,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0056670"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","otherGeospatial":"Puget Sound","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -124.73,46.77 ], [ -124.73,49.23 ], [ -121.67,49.23 ], [ -121.67,46.77 ], [ -124.73,46.77 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"8","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-02-22","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5de4b07b9df6070f2a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kreitler, Jason","contributorId":68205,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kreitler","given":"Jason","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":474797,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Papenfus, Michael","contributorId":20636,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Papenfus","given":"Michael","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":474795,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Byrd, Kristin","contributorId":82053,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Byrd","given":"Kristin","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":474798,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Labiosa, William","contributorId":26421,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Labiosa","given":"William","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":474796,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

This inlet is home to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. One purpose of the measurement program was to determine the transport pathways and fate of contaminants known to be present in Sinclair Inlet. Extensive descriptions of the program and the resultant information about contaminant pathways have been reported in Gartner and others (1998). This report primarily focused on the bottom boundary layer and the potential for resuspension and transport of sediments on the seabed in Sinclair Inlet as a result of tides and waves.  Recently (2013), interest in transport pathways for suspended and dissolved materials in Sinclair Inlet has been rekindled. In particular, the USGS scientists in Washington and California have been asked to reexamine the datasets collected in the earlier study to refine not only our understanding of transport pathways through the inlet, but to determine how those transport pathways are affected by subtidal currents, local wind stress, and fresh water inputs. Because the prior study focused on the bottom boundary layer and not the water column, a reanalysis of the datasets could increase our understanding of the dynamic forces that drive transport within and through the inlet. However, the early datasets are limited in scope and a comprehensive understanding of these transport processes may require more extensive datasets or the development of a detailed numerical model of transport processes for the inlet, or both.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20131117","usgsCitation":"Noble, M.A., Rosenberger, K., Paulson, A.J., and Gartner, A.L., 2013, Circulation exchange patterns in Sinclair Inlet, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2013-1117, vi, 40 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20131117.","productDescription":"vi, 40 p.","numberOfPages":"46","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":373,"text":"Marine Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":273648,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20131117.bmp"},{"id":273647,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1117/pdf/ofr20131117.pdf"},{"id":273646,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1117/"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","otherGeospatial":"Sinclair Inlet;Puget Sound","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -122.75,47.42 ], [ -122.75,47.75 ], [ -122.4,47.75 ], [ -122.4,47.42 ], [ -122.75,47.42 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5be4b07b9df6070f12","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Noble, Marlene A. mnoble@usgs.gov","contributorId":1429,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Noble","given":"Marlene","email":"mnoble@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479693,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Rosenberger, Kurt J.","contributorId":12934,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosenberger","given":"Kurt J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479695,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Paulson, Anthony J. 0000-0002-2358-8834 apaulson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2358-8834","contributorId":5236,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Paulson","given":"Anthony","email":"apaulson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":479694,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gartner, Anne L.","contributorId":32620,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gartner","given":"Anne","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479696,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

However, the mechanisms of the reactions in S-H<sub>2</sub>O-hydrocarbons systems are not clear.

Combined with the in situ Raman spectra collected at high temperatures and pressures in the S-H<sub>2</sub>O and S-H<sub>2</sub>O-CH<sub>4</sub> systems, our results showed that (1) the disproportionation of sulfur in the S-H<sub>2</sub>O-CH<sub>4</sub> system occurred at temperatures above 200 °C and produced H<sub>2</sub>S, SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>, and possibly trace amount of HSO<sub>4-</sub>; (2) sulfate (and bisulfate), in the presence of sulfur, can be reduced by methane between 250 and 340 °C to produce CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>S, and these TSR temperatures are much closer to those of the natural system (<200 °C) than those of any previous experiments; (3) the disproportionation and TSR reactions in the S-H<sub>2</sub>O-CH<sub>4</sub> system may take place simultaneously, with TSR being favored at higher temperatures; and (4) in the system S-D<sub>2</sub>O-CH<sub>4</sub>, both TSR and the competitive disproportionation reactions occurred simultaneously at temperatures above 300 °C, but these reactions were very slow at lower temperatures. Our observation of methane reaction at 250 °C in a laboratory time scale suggests that, in a geologic time scale, methane may be destroyed by TSR reactions at temperatures > 200 °C that can be reached by deep drilling for hydrocarbon resources.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.gca.2013.05.021","usgsCitation":"Yuan, S., Chou, I., and Burruss, R.A., 2013, Disproportionation and thermochemical sulfate reduction reactions in S-H<sub>2</sub>0-Ch<sub>4</sub> and S-D<sub>2</sub>O-CH<sub>4</sub> systems from 200 to 340 °C at elevated pressures: Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, v. 118, p. 263-275, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2013.05.021.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"263","endPage":"275","ipdsId":"IP-037502","costCenters":[{"id":245,"text":"Eastern Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":273643,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273642,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2013.05.021"}],"volume":"118","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b98a5ce4b07b9df6070f22","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Yuan, Shunda","contributorId":26608,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yuan","given":"Shunda","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479660,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Chou, I-Ming 0000-0001-5233-6479 imchou@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5233-6479","contributorId":882,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chou","given":"I-Ming","email":"imchou@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":245,"text":"Eastern Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479659,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Burruss, Robert A. 0000-0001-6827-804X burruss@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6827-804X","contributorId":558,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Burruss","given":"Robert","email":"burruss@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":479658,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Critical insights into mineral liberation, mineral associations, particle size, particle texture, and mineralogical residence phase(s) of environmentally important elements can be used to anticipate potential environmental challenges.

Examples illustrate mineralogical and textural characterization of fluvial tailings material from the upper Arkansas River in Colorado.<br></p>","conferenceTitle":"115th National Western Mining Conference","conferenceDate":"February 24-27, 2013","conferenceLocation":"Denver, CO","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration","usgsCitation":"Smith, K.S., Hoal, K., Walton-Day, K., Stammer, J., and Pietersen, K., 2013, Automated quantitative micro-mineralogical characterization for environmental applications, 115th National Western Mining Conference, Denver, CO, February 24-27, 2013, 5 p.","productDescription":"5 p.","ipdsId":"IP-042170","costCenters":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":589,"text":"Toxic Substances Hydrology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":342102,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59366dace4b0f6c2d0d7d644","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smith, Kathleen S. 0000-0001-8547-9804 ksmith@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8547-9804","contributorId":182,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Kathleen","email":"ksmith@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":547939,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hoal, K.O.","contributorId":141005,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hoal","given":"K.O.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13647,"text":"JKTech, Pty Ltd, Denver, CO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":547941,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Walton-Day, Katherine 0000-0002-9146-6193 kwaltond@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9146-6193","contributorId":1245,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Walton-Day","given":"Katherine","email":"kwaltond@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":191,"text":"Colorado Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":547940,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Stammer, J.G.","contributorId":141006,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stammer","given":"J.G.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13648,"text":"Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":547942,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Pietersen, K.","contributorId":141007,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Pietersen","given":"K.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13649,"text":"JKTech, Pty Ltd, Brisbane, QLD, Australia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":547943,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Different constellations of subtypes circulate within the two groups of birds and AI viruses isolated from North American gulls frequently possess reassortant genomes with genetic elements from both North America and Eurasian lineages. A 2008 isolate from a Newfoundland Great Black-backed Gull contained a mix of North American waterfowl, North American gull and Eurasian lineage genes. Methods: We isolated, sequenced and phylogenetically compared avian influenza viruses from 2009 Canadian wild birds. Results: We analyzed six 2009 virus isolates from Canada and found the same phylogenetic lineage had persisted over a larger geographic area, with an expanded host range that included dabbling and diving ducks as well as gulls. All of the 2009 virus isolates contained an internal protein coding set of genes of the same Eurasian lineage genes except PB1 that was from a North American lineage, and these genes continued to evolve by genetic drift. We show evidence that the 2008 Great Black-backed Gull virus was derived from this lineage with a reassortment of a North American PA gene into the more stable core set of internal protein coding genes that has circulated in avian populations for at least 2 years. From this core, the surface glycoprotein genes have switched several times creating H13N6, H13N2, and H16N3 subtypes. These gene segments were from North American lineages except for the H16 and N3 vRNAs. Conclusions: This process appears similar to genetic shifts seen with swine influenza where a stable \"triple reassortant internal gene\" core has circulated in swine populations with genetic shifts occurring with hemaggluttinin and neuraminidase proteins getting periodically switched. Thus gulls may serve as genetic mixing vessels for different lineages of avian influenza, similar to the role of swine with regards to human influenza. These findings illustrate the need for continued surveillance in gull and waterfowl populations, both on the Pacific and especially Atlantic coasts of North America, to document virus intercontinental movement and the role of gull species in the evolution and epidemiology of AI.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"BioMed Central Ltd","doi":"10.1186/1743-422X-10-179","usgsCitation":"Hall, J.S.,

For method validation we spiked 2</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>g aliquots of pooled control semen at three different levels of uranium: low at 5</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>pg/g, medium at 50</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>pg/g, and high at 1000</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>pg/g. The detection limit was determined to be 0.8</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span>pg/g uranium in human semen. The data reproduced within 1.4–7% RSD and spike recoveries were 97–100%.

By April 2011, nearly all of the State was experiencing severe to extreme drought according to data from the University of Nebraska&ndash;Lincoln Drought Monitor. By the end of July 2011, more than 75 percent of the State was experiencing exceptional drought. The worst of the drought occurred around October 4, 2011, when 97 percent of Texas was suffering from extreme to exceptional drought. The historical drought of 1951&ndash;56 has long been used by water-resource managers, engineers, and scientists as a point of reference for water-supply planning. A comparison of drought conditions during the 2011 water year (October 1, 2010, through September 30, 2011) to the historical drought of 1951&ndash;56 from a hydrologic perspective serves as an additional reference for water-supply planning.</p>\n<p>A record low statewide average annual precipitation of 11.27 inches for the period 1895&ndash;2011 was recorded during the 2011 water year; the prior record low statewide average precipitation was 13.91 inches during the 1956 water year. The statewide monthly Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) declined to -7.93 during September 2011, which was larger in magnitude than the statewide PDSI during any drought-affected month in the 1950s.</p>\n<p>Annual mean streamflow and streamflow-duration curves for the 1951&ndash;56 and 2011 water years were assessed for 19 unregulated U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamflow-gaging stations. At eight of these streamflow-gaging stations, the annual mean streamflow was lower in 2011 than for any year during 1951&ndash;56; many of these stations are located in eastern Texas. Annual mean streamflows for streamflow-gaging stations in the Guadalupe, Blanco, and upper Frio River Basins were lower in 1956 than in 2011. The streamflow-duration curves for many streamflow-gaging stations indicate a lack of (or diminished) storm runoff during 2011. Low streamflows (those exceeded 90 to 95 percent of days) were lower for 1956 than for 2011 at seven streamflow-gaging stations. For most of these stations, the lowest of the low streamflows during 1951&ndash;56 occurred in 1956. During March to September 2011, record daily lows were measured at USGS streamflow-gaging station 08041500 Village Creek near Kountze, Tex., which has more than 70 years of record. Many other USGS streamflow-gaging stations in Texas started the 2011 water year with normal streamflow but by the end of the water year were flowing at near-record lows.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20135113","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Texas Water Development Board","usgsCitation":"Winters, K.E., 2013, A historical perspective on precipitation, drought severity, and streamflow in Texas during 1951-56 and 2011: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2013-5113, v, 24 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20135113.","productDescription":"v, 24 p.","numberOfPages":"34","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","temporalStart":"1951-01-01","temporalEnd":"2011-12-31","ipdsId":"IP-044869","costCenters":[{"id":583,"text":"Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":273629,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sir20135113.jpg"},{"id":273627,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5113/"},{"id":273628,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5113/pdf/sir20135113.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -106.6,25.8 ], [ -106.6,36.5 ], [ -93.5,36.5 ], [ -93.5,25.8 ], [ -106.6,25.8 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b838d1e4b03203c522b17a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Winters, Karl E. kwinters@usgs.gov","contributorId":3554,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Winters","given":"Karl","email":"kwinters@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":479648,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

At McNeil River State Game Sanctuary (MRSGS), Alaska, brown bears (Ursus arctos) congregate in high numbers annually along the lower McNeil River to prey upon returning adult chum salmon (O. keta). Low chum salmon escapements into McNeil River since the late 1990s have been proposed as a potential factor contributing to concurrent declines in bear numbers. The objective of this study was to determine the extent of bear predation on chum salmon in McNeil River, especially on pre-spawning fish, and use those data to adjust the escapement goal for the river. In 2005 and 2006, 105 chum salmon were radiotagged at the river mouth and tracked to determine cause and location of death. Below the falls, predators consumed 99% of tagged fish, killing 59% of them before they spawned. Subsequently, the escapement goal was nearly doubled to account for this pre-spawning mortality and to ensure enough salmon to sustain both predators and prey. This approach to integrated fish and wildlife management at MRSGS can serve as a model for other systems where current salmon escapement goals may not account for pre-spawning mortality.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Ursus","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"International Association for Bear Research and Management","doi":"10.2192/URSUS-D-12-00006.1","usgsCitation":"Peirce, J., Otis, E.O., Wipfli, M.S., and Follmann, E., 2013, Interactions between brown bears and chum salmon at McNeil River, Alaska: Ursus, v. 24, no. 1, p. 42-53, https://doi.org/10.2192/URSUS-D-12-00006.1.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"42","endPage":"53","ipdsId":"IP-043218","costCenters":[{"id":108,"text":"Alaska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":273606,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273605,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.2192/URSUS-D-12-00006.1"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Mcneil River","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -154.683928,58.939429 ], [ -154.683928,59.149124 ], [ -154.243941,59.149124 ], [ -154.243941,58.939429 ], [ -154.683928,58.939429 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"24","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51b838dce4b03203c522b192","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Peirce, Joshua","contributorId":42510,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Peirce","given":"Joshua","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":471987,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Otis, Edward O.","contributorId":19065,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Otis","given":"Edward","email":"","middleInitial":"O.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":471986,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wipfli, Mark S. 0000-0002-4856-6068 mwipfli@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4856-6068","contributorId":1425,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wipfli","given":"Mark","email":"mwipfli@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":471985,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Follmann, Erich H.","contributorId":75049,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Follmann","given":"Erich H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":471988,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}
