Usually, the model of F&G is applied in one of two ways: (1) using a single <sup>13</sup>C fractionation factor of gaseous CO<sub>2</sub> with respect to a solid carbonate mineral, εg/s, regardless of whether the carbon isotopic exchange is controlled by soil CO<sub>2</sub> in the unsaturated zone, or by solid carbonate mineral in the saturated zone; or (2) using different fractionation factors if the exchange process is dominated by soil CO<sub>2</sub> gas as opposed to solid carbonate mineral (typically calcite). An analysis of the F&G model shows an inadequate conceptualization, resulting in underestimation of the initial <sup>14</sup>C values (<sup>14</sup>C<sub>0</sub>) for groundwater systems that have undergone isotopic exchange. The degree to which the <sup>14</sup>C<sub>0</sub> is underestimated increases with the extent of isotopic exchange. Examples show that in extreme cases, the error in calculated adjusted initial <sup>14</sup>C values can be more than 20% modern carbon (pmc). A model is derived that revises the mass balance method of F&G by using a modified model conceptualization. The derivation yields a “global” model both for carbon isotopic exchange dominated by gaseous CO<sub>2</sub> in the unsaturated zone, and for carbon isotopic exchange dominated by solid carbonate mineral in the saturated zone. However, the revised model requires different parameters for exchange dominated by gaseous CO<sub>2</sub> as opposed to exchange dominated by solid carbonate minerals. The revised model for exchange dominated by gaseous CO<sub>2</sub> is shown to be identical to the model of Mook (Mook, 1976). For groundwater systems where exchange occurs both in the unsaturated zone and saturated zone, the revised model can still be used; however, <sup>14</sup>C<sub>0</sub> will be slightly underestimated. Finally, in carbonate systems undergoing complex geochemical reactions, such as oxidation of organic carbon, radiocarbon ages are best estimated by inverse geochemical modeling techniques.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Chemical Geology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.chemgeo.2013.05.011","usgsCitation":"Han, L., and Plummer, N., 2013, Revision of Fontes & Garnier's model for the initial <sup>14</sup>C content of dissolved inorganic carbon used in groundwater dating: Chemical Geology, v. 351, p. 105-114, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2013.05.011.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"105","endPage":"114","ipdsId":"IP-045165","costCenters":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473674,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2013.05.011","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":275107,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":273714,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2013.05.011"}],"country":"United States","volume":"351","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51e7aed7e4b080b82b09c616","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Han, Liang-Feng","contributorId":101537,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Han","given":"Liang-Feng","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479806,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Plummer, Niel 0000-0002-4020-1013 nplummer@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4020-1013","contributorId":190100,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Plummer","given":"Niel","email":"nplummer@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":479805,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Intensive urbanization of the southeast Florida coast and intensification of climate change over the last few centuries changed the character of coastal ecosystems in the semi-enclosed Biscayne Bay, Florida. In order to develop management policies for the Bay, it is vital to obtain reliable scientific evidence of past ecological conditions. The long-term records of subfossil diatoms obtained from No Name Bank and Featherbed Bank in the Central Biscayne Bay, and from the Card Sound Bank in the neighboring Card Sound, were used to study the magnitude of the environmental change caused by climate variability and water management over the last ~ 600 yr. Analyses of these records revealed that the major shifts in the diatom assemblage structures at No Name Bank occurred in 1956, at Featherbed Bank in 1966, and at Card Sound Bank in 1957. Smaller magnitude shifts were also recorded at Featherbed Bank in 1893, 1942, 1974 and 1983. Most of these changes coincided with severe drought periods that developed during the cold phases of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), or when AMO was in warm phase and PDO was in the cold phase. Only the 1983 change coincided with an unusually wet period that developed during the warm phases of ENSO and PDO. Quantitative reconstructions of salinity using the weighted averaging partial least squares (WA-PLS) diatom-based salinity model revealed a gradual increase in salinity at the three coring locations over the last ~ 600 yr, which was primarily caused by continuously rising sea level and in the last several decades also by the reduction of the amount of freshwater inflow from the mainland. Concentration of sediment total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and total organic carbon (TOC) increased in the second half of the 20th century, which coincided with the construction of canals, landfills, marinas and water treatment plants along the western margin of Biscayne Bay. Increased magnitude and rate of the diatom assemblage restructuring in the mid- and late-1900s, suggest that large environmental changes are occurring more rapidly now than in the past.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.palaeo.2012.12.020","usgsCitation":"Wachnicka, A., Gaiser, E., Wingard, G.L., Briceno, H., and Harlem, P., 2013, Impact of Late Holocene climate variability and anthropogenic activities on Biscayne Bay (Florida, U.S.A.): Evidence from diatoms: Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, v. 371, p. 80-92, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2012.12.020.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"80","endPage":"92","ipdsId":"IP-038980","costCenters":[{"id":243,"text":"Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":563,"text":"South Florida Information Access","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":40020,"text":"Florence Bascom Geoscience Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":275111,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","otherGeospatial":"Biscayne Bay","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -80.313083,25.414719 ], [ -80.313083,25.920597 ], [ -80.125669,25.920597 ], [ -80.125669,25.414719 ], [ -80.313083,25.414719 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"371","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51e7aed6e4b080b82b09c60a","chorus":{"doi":"10.1016/j.palaeo.2012.12.020","url":"http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2012.12.020","publisher":"Elsevier BV","authors":"Wachnicka Anna, Gaiser Evelyn, Wingard Lynn, Briceo Henry, Harlem Peter","journalName":"Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology","publicationDate":"2/2013","auditedOn":"11/1/2014"},"contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wachnicka, Anna","contributorId":15500,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wachnicka","given":"Anna","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480539,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gaiser, Evelyn","contributorId":61727,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gaiser","given":"Evelyn","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480541,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wingard, G.

Much is unknown about the Shoreline fault, including its slip rate and the details of its geometry. Here, I study the geometry of the Shoreline fault at seismogenic depth, as well as the adjacent section of the offshore Hosgri fault, using seismicity relocations and earthquake focal mechanisms. The Optimal Anisotropic Dynamic Clustering (OADC) algorithm (Ouillon et al., 2008) is used to objectively identify the simplest planar fault geometry that fits all of the earthquakes to within their location uncertainty. The OADC results show that the Shoreline fault is a single continuous structure that connects to the Hosgri fault. Discontinuities smaller than about 1 km may be undetected, but would be too small to be barriers to earthquake rupture. The Hosgri fault dips steeply to the east, while the Shoreline fault is essentially vertical, so the Hosgri fault dips towards and under the Shoreline fault as the two faults approach their intersection. The focal mechanisms generally agree with pure right‐lateral strike‐slip on the OADC planes, but suggest a non‐planar Hosgri fault or another structure underlying the northern Shoreline fault. The Shoreline fault most likely transfers strike‐slip motion between the Hosgri fault and other faults of the Pacific–North America plate boundary system to the east. A hypothetical earthquake rupturing the entire known length of the Shoreline fault would have a moment magnitude of 6.4–6.8. A hypothetical earthquake rupturing the Shoreline fault and the section of the Hosgri fault north of the Hosgri–Shoreline junction would have a moment magnitude of 7.2–7.5.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/0120120175","usgsCitation":"Hardebeck, J.L., 2013, Geometry and earthquake potential of the shoreline fault, central California: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, v. 103, no. 1, p. 447-462, https://doi.org/10.1785/0120120175.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"447","endPage":"462","ipdsId":"IP-037963","costCenters":[{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":275041,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274705,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1785/0120120175"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -124.41,32.53 ], [ -124.41,42.01 ], [ -114.13,42.01 ], [ -114.13,32.53 ], [ -124.41,32.53 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"103","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-02-05","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51e65d55e4b017be1ba34719","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hardebeck, Jeanne L. 0000-0002-6737-7780 jhardebeck@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6737-7780","contributorId":841,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hardebeck","given":"Jeanne","email":"jhardebeck@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480509,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

We examine dike opening during and after the eruption using a comprehensive interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data set in combination with continuous GPS data. We solve for distributed dike displacements using a whole Kīlauea model with dilating rift zones and possibly a deep décollement. Modeled surface dike opening increased from nearly 1.5 m to over 2.8 m from the first day to the end of the eruption, in agreement with field observations of surface fracturing. Surface dike opening ceased following the eruption, but subsurface opening in the dike continued into May 2011. Dike volumes increased from 15, to 16, to 21 million cubic meters (MCM) after the first day, eruption end, and 2 months following, respectively. Dike shape is distinctive, with a main limb plunging from the surface to 2–3 km depth in the up‐rift direction toward Kīlauea's summit, and a lesser projection extending in the down‐rift direction toward Pu`u `Ō`ō at 2 km depth. Volume losses beneath Kīlauea summit (1.7 MCM) and Pu`u `Ō`ō (5.6 MCM) crater, relative to dike plus erupted volume (18.3 MCM), yield a dike to source volume ratio of 2.5 that is in the range expected for compressible magma without requiring additional sources. Inflation of Kīlauea's summit in the months before the March 2011 eruption suggests that the Kamoamoa eruption resulted from overpressure of the volcano's magmatic system.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"AGU","doi":"10.1002/jgrb.50108","usgsCitation":"Lundgren, P., Poland, M.P., Miklius, A., Orr, T., Yun, S., Fielding, E., Liu, Z., Tanaka, A., Szeliga, W., Hensley, S., and Owen, S., 2013, Evolution of dike opening during the March 2011 Kamoamoa fissure eruption, Kīlauea Volcano, Hawai`i: Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth, v. 118, no. 3, p. 897-914, https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrb.50108.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"897","endPage":"914","ipdsId":"IP-042091","costCenters":[{"id":336,"text":"Hawaiian Volcano Observatory","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473686,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrb.50108","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":274980,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274979,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jgrb.50108"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawai'i","otherGeospatial":"Kilauea Volcano","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -155.798371,19.05835 ], [ -155.798371,19.54759 ], [ -155.016307,19.54759 ], [ -155.016307,19.05835 ], [ -155.798371,19.05835 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"118","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-03-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51e50bd9e4b069f8d27cca73","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lundgren, Paul","contributorId":34806,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lundgren","given":"Paul","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480376,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Poland, Michael P. 0000-0001-5240-6123 mpoland@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5240-6123","contributorId":146118,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Poland","given":"Michael","email":"mpoland@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480377,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Miklius, Asta 0000-0002-2286-1886 asta@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2286-1886","contributorId":2060,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miklius","given":"Asta","email":"asta@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480372,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Orr, Tim R. torr@usgs.gov","contributorId":3766,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Orr","given":"Tim R.","email":"torr@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480373,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Yun, Sang-Ho","contributorId":102772,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yun","given":"Sang-Ho","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480382,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Fielding, Eric","contributorId":50434,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fielding","given":"Eric","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480379,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Liu, Zhen","contributorId":57750,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Liu","given":"Zhen","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480380,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Tanaka, Akiko","contributorId":30121,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tanaka","given":"Akiko","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480375,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Szeliga, Walter","contributorId":50021,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Szeliga","given":"Walter","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480378,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Hensley, Scott","contributorId":85313,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hensley","given":"Scott","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480381,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10},{"text":"Owen, Susan","contributorId":29004,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Owen","given":"Susan","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480374,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":11}]}}

Groundwater investigations in the 1960s identified a freshwater-saltwater interface located at the Baton Rouge Fault, across which abrupt changes in water levels occur. Aquifers south of the fault generally contain saltwater, and aquifers north of the fault contain freshwater, though limited saltwater encroachment has been detected within 7 of the 10 aquifers north of the fault. The 10 aquifers beneath the Baton Rouge area, which includes East and West Baton Rouge Parishes, Pointe Coupee Parish, and East and West Feliciana Parishes, provided about 167 million gallons per day (Mgal/day) for public supply and industrial use in 2010. Groundwater withdrawals from an aquifer that is 2,000-feet (ft) deep in East Baton Rouge Parish (the “2,000-foot” sand of the Baton Rouge area) have caused water-level drawdown up to 356 ft and induced saltwater movement northward across the fault. Groundwater withdrawals from the “2,000-foot” sand averaged 23.9 Mgal/d during 2010. Saltwater encroachment threatens wells that are located about 3 miles north of the fault, where industrial withdrawals account for about 66 percent of the water withdrawn from the “2,000-foot” sand in East Baton Rouge Parish. Constant and variable-density groundwater models were developed with the MODFLOW and SEAWAT groundwater modeling codes to evaluate strategies to control saltwater migration, including changes in the distribution of groundwater withdrawals and installation of “scavenger” wells to intercept saltwater before it reaches existing production wells.\n\nFive hypothetical scenarios simulated the effects of different groundwater withdrawal options on groundwater levels within the “1,500-foot” sand and the “2,000-foot” sand and the transport of saltwater within the “2,000-foot” sand. Scenario 1 is considered a base case for comparison to the other four scenarios and simulates continuation of 2007 reported groundwater withdrawals. Scenario 2 simulates discontinuation of withdrawals from seven selected industrial wells located in the northwest corner of East Baton Rouge Parish, and water levels within the “1,500-foot” sand were predicted to be about 15 to 20 ft higher under this withdrawal scenario than under scenario 1. Scenario 3 simulates the effects of a scavenger well, which withdraws water from the base of the “2,000-foot” sand at a rate of 2 Mgal/d, at two possible locations on water levels and concentrations within the “2,000-foot” sand. In comparison to the concentrations simulated in scenario 1, operation of the scavenger well in the locations specified in scenario 3 reduces the chloride concentrations at all existing chloride-observation well locations. Scenario 4 simulates a 3.6 Mgal/d reduction in total groundwater withdrawals from selected wells screened in the “2,000-foot” sand that are located in the Baton Rouge industrial district. For scenario 4, the median and mean plume concentrations are slightly lower than scenario 1. Scenario 5 simulates the effect of total cessation of groundwater withdrawals from the “2,000-foot” sand in the industrial district. The simulated chloride-concentration distribution in scenario 5 reflects the change in groundwater flow direction. Although some saltwater would continue to cross the Baton Rouge Fault and encroach toward municipal supply wells, further encroachment toward the industrial district would be abated.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20131153","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Capital Area Groundwater Conservation Commission; the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Public Works and Water Resources Division; and the City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge","usgsCitation":"Heywood, C.E., and Griffith, J.M., 2013, Simulation of groundwater flow in the \"1,500-foot\" sand and \"2,000-foot\" sand and movement of saltwater in the \"2,000-foot\" sand of the Baton Rouge area, Louisiana: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2013-1153, viii, 35 p.; Tables, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20131153.","productDescription":"viii, 35 p.; Tables","numberOfPages":"87","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":369,"text":"Louisiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274914,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20131153.gif"},{"id":274912,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1153/"},{"id":274913,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1153/OFR_2013-1153.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Louisiana;Mississippi","city":"Baton Rouge","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -92.0,30.2 ], [ -92.0,31.5 ], [ -90.25,31.5 ], [ -90.25,30.2 ], [ -92.0,30.2 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51e11769e4b02f5cae2b7344","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Heywood, Charles E. cheywood@usgs.gov","contributorId":2043,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Heywood","given":"Charles","email":"cheywood@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":614,"text":"Virginia Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480836,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Griffith, Jason M. 0000-0002-8942-0380 jmgriff@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8942-0380","contributorId":2923,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Griffith","given":"Jason","email":"jmgriff@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":369,"text":"Louisiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480837,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Mobile terrestrial lidar scanners have the capability for rapid data collection on a larger spatial scale compared with tripod-based terrestrial lidar, but few studies have examined the accuracy of this relatively new mapping technology. For this reason, we conducted a field test at Padre Island National Seashore of a mobile lidar scanner mounted on a sport utility vehicle and integrated with a position and orientation system. The purpose of the study was to assess the vertical and horizontal accuracy of data collected by the mobile terrestrial lidar system, which is georeferenced to the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. To accomplish the study objectives, independent elevation data were collected by conducting a high-accuracy global positioning system survey to establish the coordinates and elevations of 12 targets spaced throughout the 12 km transect. These independent ground control data were compared to the lidar scanner-derived elevations to quantify the accuracy of the mobile lidar system. The performance of the mobile lidar system was also tested at various vehicle speeds and scan density settings (e.g. field of view and linear point spacing) to estimate the optimal parameters for desired point density. After adjustment of the lever arm parameters, the final point cloud accuracy was 0.060 m (east), 0.095 m (north), and 0.053 m (height). The very high density of the resulting point cloud was sufficient to map fine-scale topographic features, such as the complex shape of the sand dunes.","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/01431161.2013.800658","usgsCitation":"Lim, S., Thatcher, C., Brock, J., Kimbrow, D.R., Danielson, J.J., and Reynolds, B., 2013, Accuracy assessment of a mobile terrestrial lidar survey at Padre Island National Seashore: International Journal of Remote Sensing, v. 34, no. 18, p. 6355-6366, https://doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2013.800658.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"6355","endPage":"6366","ipdsId":"IP-045596","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274864,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274863,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2013.800658"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","city":"Corpus Christi","otherGeospatial":"Padre Island National Seashore","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -97.4226,26.562 ], [ -97.4226,27.5382 ], [ -97.2588,27.5382 ], [ -97.2588,26.562 ], [ -97.4226,26.562 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"34","issue":"18","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-06-10","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51dfc5d9e4b0d332bf22f32d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lim, Samsung","contributorId":34022,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lim","given":"Samsung","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480721,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Thatcher, Cindy A.","contributorId":79604,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thatcher","given":"Cindy A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480723,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brock, John 0000-0002-5289-9332 jbrock@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5289-9332","contributorId":2261,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brock","given":"John","email":"jbrock@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":5061,"text":"National Cooperative Geologic Mapping and Landslide Hazards","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480718,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Kimbrow, Dustin R. dkimbrow@usgs.gov","contributorId":3915,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kimbrow","given":"Dustin","email":"dkimbrow@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":105,"text":"Alabama Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480719,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Danielson, Jeffrey J. 0000-0003-0907-034X daniels@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0907-034X","contributorId":3996,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Danielson","given":"Jeffrey","email":"daniels@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true},{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480720,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Reynolds, B.J.","contributorId":47874,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reynolds","given":"B.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480722,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

In many places the Provo shoreline consists of a pair of distinct shorelines, one ∼3 m higher than the other. We present data from two cuts through double beaches to show that the upper beach is younger and represents sedimentation after a lake-level rise. In addition, the lower beach deposits are internally stratified by beds that suggest three more lake-level rises during its development. The Provo beach complex thus appears to have been built during rising lake levels, which can be explained by rises in the overflow threshold by sequential landslide deposition. Evaluation of beach altitudes demonstrates that the two beach crests throughout the Bonneville basin experienced equivalent rebound from removal of the lake load, and therefore they formed after the rebound associated with the Bonneville flood occurred in early Provo time. However, radiocarbon ages on gastropods collected within the beach deposits suggest both that the sequence of five beach deposits formed from </span><i>c.</i><span>18.1 to </span><i>c. </i><span>17.0 cal. ka, and that the Bonneville flood occurred before 18 cal. ka. These ages are discordant with previous dates on shells within offshore sands, and raise questions about the validity of radiocarbon ages for shells in Lake Bonneville as well as about the age of the Bonneville flood and Provo shoreline.

In this study, water-quality data from 155 water wells, collected from 1948 to 2011, were retrieved from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System database; these data include measurements of pH, specific conductance, and hardness and concentrations of the major ions, trace elements, and radionuclides that have Maximum Contaminant Levels or Secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels in public drinking-water supplies. Information about well characteristics includes ranges of well yield and well depth of private water wells in the study area and was compiled from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board Multi-Purpose Well Completion Report database. This report also shows depth to water from land surface by using shaded 30-foot contours that were created by using a geographic information system and spatial layers of a 2009 potentiometric surface (groundwater elevation) and land-surface elevation.\n\nWells in the study area produce water from the North Canadian River alluvial and terrace aquifers, the underlying Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formation that compose the Garber–Wellington aquifer, and the Chase, Council Grove, and Admire Groups. Water quality varies substantially between the alluvial and terrace aquifers and bedrock aquifers in the study area. Water from the alluvial aquifer has relatively high concentrations of dissolved solids and generally is used for livestock only, whereas water from the terrace aquifer has low concentrations of dissolved solids and is used extensively by households in the study area. Water from the bedrock aquifer also is used extensively by households but may have high concentrations of trace elements, including uranium, in some areas where groundwater pH is above 8.0.\n\nWell yields vary and are dependent on aquifer characteristics and well-completion practices. Well yields in the unconsolidated alluvial and terrace aquifers generally are higher than yields from bedrock aquifers but are limited by the thickness and extent of these river deposits. Well yields in the alluvium and terrace aquifers commonly range from 50 to 150 gallons per minute and may exceed 300 gallons per minute, whereas well yields in the bedrock aquifers commonly range from 25 to 50 gallons per minute in the western one-third of study area (Oklahoma County) and generally less than 25 gallons per minute in the eastern two-thirds of the study area (Lincoln and Pottawatomie Counties).","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20121255","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma","usgsCitation":"Becker, C., 2013, Groundwater quality and water-well characteristics in the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma Jurisdictional Area, central Oklahoma, 1948--2011: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2012-1255, iv, 32 p.; Maps: 2 Sheets: 17 x 22 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20121255.","productDescription":"iv, 32 p.; Maps: 2 Sheets: 17 x 22 inches","numberOfPages":"39","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","temporalStart":"1948-01-01","temporalEnd":"2011-12-31","costCenters":[{"id":516,"text":"Oklahoma Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274808,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20121255.gif"},{"id":274806,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2012/1255/Plate%201.pdf"},{"id":274807,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2012/1255/Plate%202.pdf"},{"id":274804,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2012/1255/"},{"id":274805,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2012/1255/OFR_2012-1255.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oklahoma","otherGeospatial":"Kickapoo Tribe Of Oklahoma Jurisdictional Area","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -97.333333,35.25 ], [ -97.333333,35.833333 ], [ -96.833333,35.833333 ], [ -96.833333,35.25 ], [ -97.333333,35.25 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51dd22d8e4b0f72b44719c1b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Becker, Carol 0000-0001-6652-4542 cjbecker@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6652-4542","contributorId":2489,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Becker","given":"Carol","email":"cjbecker@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":516,"text":"Oklahoma Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480654,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

These dams form six reservoirs that provide power generation, flood control, recreation, economic opportunity, and fish and wildlife habitats to the region. The Logan Martin Reservoir is located approximately 45 kilometers east of Birmingham and borders Saint Clair and Talladega Counties. Discharges below the reservoir are controlled by power generation at Logan Martin Dam, and there has been an ongoing concern about the stability of the streambanks downstream of the dam. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Alabama Power conducted a scientific investigation of the geomorphic conditions of a 115-meter length of streambank along the Coosa River by using tripod-mounted terrestrial light detection and ranging technology. Two surveys were conducted before and after the winter flood season of 2010 to determine the extent and magnitude of geomorphic change. A comparison of the terrestrial light detection and ranging datasets indicated that approximately 40 cubic meters of material had been eroded from the upstream section of the study area. The terrestrial light detection and ranging data included in this report consist of electronic point cloud files containing several million georeferenced data points, as well as a surface model measuring changes between scans.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20135128","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Alabama Power","usgsCitation":"Kimbrow, D.R., and Lee, K., 2013, Erosion monitoring along the Coosa River below Logan Martin Dam near Vincent, Alabama, using terrestrial light detection and ranging (T-LiDAR) technology: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2013-5128, iv, 9 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20135128.","productDescription":"iv, 9 p.","numberOfPages":"15","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":105,"text":"Alabama Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274803,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sir20135128.gif"},{"id":274801,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5128/"},{"id":274802,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5128/pdf/sir2013-5128.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alabama","county":"Shelby County","city":"Vincent","otherGeospatial":"Coosa River;Logan Martin Dam","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -86.345833,33.4125 ], [ -86.345833,33.429167 ], [ -86.333333,33.429167 ], [ -86.333333,33.4125 ], [ -86.345833,33.4125 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51dd22d8e4b0f72b44719c17","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kimbrow, Dustin R. dkimbrow@usgs.gov","contributorId":3915,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kimbrow","given":"Dustin","email":"dkimbrow@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":105,"text":"Alabama Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480652,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lee, Kathryn G.","contributorId":108009,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lee","given":"Kathryn G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480653,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Unconsolidated residuum, colluvium, terrace deposits, and alluvium overlie the sedimentary rocks. Numerous karst features, such as sinkholes, caves, and springs, have formed in the carbonate rocks. Many streams are spring fed. The topography is a dissected karst plain with elevations ranging from about 690 ft where the Jacks Fork River exits the northeastern corner of the Jam Up Cave quadrangle to about 1,350 ft in upland areas along the north-central edge and southwestern corner of the Pine Crest quadrangle. The most prominent physiographic feature is the valley of the Jacks Fork River. This reach of the upper Jacks Fork, with its clean, swiftly-flowing water confined by low cliffs and bluffs, provides one of the most beautiful canoe float trips in the nation. Most of the land in the quadrangles is privately owned and used primarily for grazing cattle and horses and growing timber.

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 select water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgage 01390450, Saddle River at Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. Current conditions for estimating near real-time areas of inundation using USGS streamgage information may be obtained on the Internet at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?site_no=01390450. The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts flood hydrographs at many places that are often collocated with USGS streamgages. NWS-forecasted peak-stage information may be used in conjunction with the maps developed in this study to show predicted areas of flood inundation.\n\nIn this study, flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated by using the most current stage-discharge relations (in effect March 2013) at USGS streamgage 01390450, Saddle River at Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, and documented high-water marks from recent floods. The hydraulic model was then used to determine eight water-surface profiles for flood stages at 0.5-foot (ft) intervals referenced to the streamgage datum, North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88), and ranging from bankfull, 0.5 ft below NWS Action Stage, to the upper extent of the stage-discharge rating which is approximately 1 ft higher than the highest recorded water level at the streamgage. Action Stage is the stage which when reached by a rising stream the NWS or a partner needs to take some type of mitigation action in preparation for possible significant hydrologic activity. The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined with a geographic information system 3-meter (9.84 ft) digital elevation model (derived from Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data) in order to delineate the area flooded at each water level.\n\nThe availability of these maps along with real-time streamflow data and information regarding current stage from USGS streamgages and forecasted stream stages from the NWS provide 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/sim3262","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection","usgsCitation":"Watson, K.M., and Hoppe, H.L., 2013, Flood-inundation maps for the Saddle River from Upper Saddle River Borough to Saddle River Borough, New Jersey, 2013: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3262, Pamphlet: vi, 8 p.; Maps: 8 Sheets: 17 x 22 inches; Downloads Directory, https://doi.org/10.3133/sim3262.","productDescription":"Pamphlet: vi, 8 p.; Maps: 8 Sheets: 17 x 22 inches; Downloads Directory","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","temporalStart":"2013-01-01","temporalEnd":"2013-12-31","costCenters":[{"id":470,"text":"New Jersey Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274498,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sim3262.png"},{"id":274490,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/map_sheets/sim3262_40.pdf"},{"id":274488,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/sim3262-pamphlet.pdf"},{"id":274489,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/map_sheets/sim3262_30.pdf"},{"id":274491,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/map_sheets/sim3262_35.pdf"},{"id":274492,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/map_sheets/sim3262_45.pdf"},{"id":274493,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/map_sheets/sim3262_50.pdf"},{"id":274494,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/map_sheets/sim3262_55.pdf"},{"id":274495,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/map_sheets/sim3262_60.pdf"},{"id":274496,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads/map_sheets/sim3262_65.pdf"},{"id":274497,"type":{"id":7,"text":"Companion Files"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262/downloads"},{"id":274499,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3262"}],"country":"United States","state":"New Jersey","otherGeospatial":"Saddle River","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -74.120833,41.025 ], [ -74.120833,41.083333 ], [ -74.063889,41.083333 ], [ -74.063889,41.025 ], [ -74.120833,41.025 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51d7dcd4e4b0b0351701e17b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Watson, Kara M. 0000-0002-2685-0260 kmwatson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2685-0260","contributorId":2134,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Watson","given":"Kara","email":"kmwatson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":470,"text":"New Jersey Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":13634,"text":"South Atlantic Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480242,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hoppe, Heidi L. hhoppe@usgs.gov","contributorId":1513,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hoppe","given":"Heidi","email":"hhoppe@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":480241,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

This study was part of a multidisciplinary mapping and data integration project at the U.S. Geological Survey that focused on long-term resource planning by land-managing entities in Colorado.\n\nThe map products were designed primarily for the regional mapping and characterization of exposed surface mineralogy, including that related to hydrothermal alteration and supergene weathering of pyritic rocks. Alteration type was modeled from identified minerals based on standard definitions of alteration mineral assemblages. Vegetation was identified using the ASTER data and subdivided based on per-pixel chlorophyll content (depth of 0.68 micrometer absorption band) and dryness (fit and depth of leaf biochemical absorptions in the shortwave infrared spectral region). The vegetation results can be used to estimate the abundance of fire fuels at the time of data acquisition (2002 and 2003). The AVIRIS- and ASTER-derived mineral mapping results can be readily compared using the toggleable layers in the GeoPDF file, and by using the provided GIS-ready raster datasets.\n\nThe results relating to mineral occurrence and distribution were an important source of data for studies documenting the effects of mining and un-mined, altered rocks on aquatic ecosystems at the watershed level.

Budget constraints in water resource management agencies often mean a reduction in the number of observation wells included in a monitoring network. A network design tool, distributed as an R package, was developed to determine which wells to exclude from a monitoring network because they add little or no beneficial information. A kriging-based genetic algorithm method was used to optimize the monitoring network. The algorithm was used to find the set of wells whose removal leads to the smallest increase in the weighted sum of the (1) mean standard error at all nodes in the kriging grid where the water table is estimated, (2) root-mean-squared-error between the measured and estimated water-level elevation at the removed sites, (3) mean standard deviation of measurements across time at the removed sites, and (4) mean measurement error of wells in the reduced network. The solution to the optimization problem (the best wells to retain in the monitoring network) depends on the total number of wells removed; this number is a management decision. The network design tool was applied to optimize two observation well networks monitoring the water table of the eastern Snake River Plain aquifer, Idaho; these networks include the 2008 Federal-State Cooperative water-level monitoring network (Co-op network) with 166 observation wells, and the 2008 U.S. Geological Survey-Idaho National Laboratory water-level monitoring network (USGS-INL network) with 171 wells. Each water-level monitoring network was optimized five times: by removing (1) 10, (2) 20, (3) 40, (4) 60, and (5) 80 observation wells from the original network. An examination of the trade-offs associated with changes in the number of wells to remove indicates that 20 wells can be removed from the Co-op network with a relatively small degradation of the estimated water table map, and 40 wells can be removed from the USGS-INL network before the water table map degradation accelerates. The optimal network designs indicate the robustness of the network design tool. Observation wells were removed from high well-density areas of the network while retaining the spatial pattern of the existing water-table map.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20135120","collaboration":"DOE/ID-22224 Prepared in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Department of Energy","usgsCitation":"Fisher, J.C., 2013, Optimization of water-level monitoring networks in the eastern Snake River Plain aquifer using a kriging-based genetic algorithm method: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2013-5120, viii, 73 p.; Appendixes A-B, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20135120.","productDescription":"viii, 73 p.; Appendixes A-B","numberOfPages":"86","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[{"id":343,"text":"Idaho Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274477,"type":{"id":3,"text":"Appendix"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5120/pdf/sir20135120_appendixA.pdf"},{"id":274478,"type":{"id":3,"text":"Appendix"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5120/pdf/sir20135120_appendixB.pdf"},{"id":274475,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5120/"},{"id":274476,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5120/pdf/sir20135120.pdf"},{"id":274479,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sir20135120.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","otherGeospatial":"Eastern Snake River Plain","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -115.5,42.0 ], [ -115.5,44.5 ], [ -111.0,44.5 ], [ -111.0,42.0 ], [ -115.5,42.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51d539d5e4b011afeb0c75cb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fisher, Jason C. 0000-0001-9032-8912 jfisher@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9032-8912","contributorId":2523,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fisher","given":"Jason","email":"jfisher@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":343,"text":"Idaho Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480240,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

The study provided geohydrologic data needed by the town and county to develop a strategy to manage and protect their water resources. In this study area, three extensive confined sand and gravel aquifers (the upper, middle, and lower confined aquifers) compose the stratified-drift aquifer system. The Dryden Lake Valley is a glaciated valley oriented parallel to the direction of ice movement. Erosion by ice extensively widened and deepened the valley, truncated bedrock hillsides, and formed a nearly straight, U-shaped bedrock trough. The maximum thickness of the valley fill in the central part of the valley is about 400 feet (ft). The Virgil Creek Valley in the east part of the study area underwent less severe erosion by ice than the Dryden Lake Valley, and hence, it has a bedrock floor that is several hundred feet higher in altitude than that in the Dryden Lake Valley. The sources and amounts of recharge were difficult to identify in most areas because the confined aquifers are overlain by confining units. However, in the vicinity of the Virgil Creek Dam, the upper confined aquifer crops out at land surface in the floodplain of a gorge eroded by Virgil Creek, and this is where the aquifer receives large amounts of recharge from precipitation that directly falls over the aquifer and from seepage losses from Virgil Creek. The results of streamflow measurements made in Virgil Creek where it flows through the gorge indicated that the stream lost 1.2 cubic feet per second (ft<sup>3</sup>/s) or 0.78 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) of water in the reach extending from 220 ft downstream from the dam to 1,200 ft upstream from the dam. In the southern part of the study area, large amounts of recharge also replenish the stratified-drift aquifers at the Valley Heads Moraine, which consists of heterogeneous sediments including coarse-grained outwash and kame sediments, as well as zones containing till with a fine-grained matrix. In the southern part of the study area, the confining units are thin and likely to be discontinuous in some places, resulting in windows of permeable sediment, which can more readily transmit recharge from precipitation and from tributaries that lose water as they flow over the valley floor. In contrast, in the northern part of the study area, the confining units are thick, continuous, and comprise homogeneous fine-grained sediments that more effectively confine the aquifers than in the southern part of the study area. Most groundwater in the northern part of the study area discharges to the Village of Dryden municipal production wells, to the outlet to Dryden Lake, to Virgil Creek, and as groundwater underflow that exits the northern boundary of the study area. Most northward-flowing groundwater in the southern part of the study area discharges to Dryden Lake, to the inlet to Dryden Lake, and to homeowner, nonmunicipal community (a mobile home community and several apartments), and commercial wells. Most of this pumped water is returned to the groundwater system via septic systems. Most southward-flowing groundwater in the southern part of the study area discharges to the headwaters of Owego Creek and to agricultural wells; some flow also exits the southern boundary of the study area as groundwater underflow. The largest user of groundwater in the study area is the Village of Dryden. Water use in the village has approximately tripled between the early 1970s when withdrawals ranged between 18 and 30 million gallons per year (Mgal/yr) and from 2000 through 2008 when withdrawals ranged between 75 and 85 Mgal/yr. The estimated groundwater use by homeowners, nonmunicipal communities, and small commercial facilities outside the area supplied by the Village of Dryden municipal wells is estimated to be about 18.4 Mgal/yr. Most of this pumped water is returned to the groundwater system via septic systems. For this investigation, an aquifer test was conducted at the Village of Dryden production well TM 981 (finished in the middle confined aquifer at a well depth of 72 ft) at the Jay Street pumping station during June 19&ndash;21, 2007. The aquifer test consisted of pumping production well TM 981 at 104 gallons per minute over a 24-hour period. The drawdown in well TM 981 at the end of 24 hours of pumping was 19.2 ft. Results of the aquifer-test analysis for a partially penetrating well in a confined aquifer indicated that the transmissivity was 1,560 feet squared per day, and the horizontal hydraulic conductivity was 87 feet per day, based on a saturated thickness of 18 ft. During 2003&ndash;5, 14 surface-water samples were collected at 8 sites, including Virgil Creek, Dryden Lake outlet, and several tributaries. During 2003 through 2009, eight groundwater samples were collected from eight wells, including three municipal production wells, two test wells, and three domestic wells. Calcium dominates the cation composition, and bicarbonate dominates the anion composition in most groundwater and surface-water samples. None of the common inorganic constituents collected exceeded any Federal or State water-quality standards. Results from a three-dimensional, finite-difference groundwater-flow model were used to compute a water budget and to estimate the areal extent of the zone of groundwater contribution to the Village of Dryden municipal production wells. The model-computed water budget indicated that the sources of recharge to the confined aquifer system are precipitation that falls directly on the valley-fill sediments (40 percent of total recharge), stream leakage (35.5 percent), seepage from wetlands and ponds (12 percent), unchanneled runoff and groundwater inflow from the uplands (8.5 percent), and groundwater underflow into the eastern end of the model area (4 percent). Most groundwater discharges to surface-water bodies, including Dryden Lake (33 percent), streams (33 percent), and wetlands and ponds (10 percent of the total). In addition, some groundwater discharges as underflow out of the southern and northern ends of the model area (15 percent), to simulated pumping wells (4.5 percent), and to drains that represent seepage from the bluffs exposed in the gorge in the vicinity of the Virgil Creek Dam (4.5 percent). The areal extents of the zones of groundwater contribution for Village of Dryden municipal production wells TM 202 (Lake Road pump station, finished in the upper confined aquifer) and TM 981 (Jay Street pump station, finished in the middle confined aquifer) are 0.5 square mile (mi<sup>2</sup>) and 0.9 mi<sup>2</sup>, respectively. The areal extent of the zone of contribution to production well TM 202 extends 2.2 miles (mi) southeast into the Virgil Creek Valley, whereas production well TM 981 extends 3.8 mi south in the Dryden Lake Valley. The areal extent of the zone of contribution to production well TM1046 (South Street pump station) is 1.4 mi<sup>2</sup> and extends 2.4 mi into Dryden Lake Valley and 0.5 mi into Virgil Creek Valley.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20135070","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Town of Dryden and theTompkins County Planning Department","usgsCitation":"Miller, T.S., and Bugliosi, E.F., 2013, Geohydrology, water quality, and simulation of groundwater flow in the stratified-drift aquifer system in Virgil Creek and Dryden Lake Valleys, Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New York: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2013-5070, ix, 104 p.; Figures 8, 13, 18: 3 Sheets: 30 x 38 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20135070.","productDescription":"ix, 104 p.; Figures 8, 13, 18: 3 Sheets: 30 x 38 inches","numberOfPages":"118","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[{"id":474,"text":"New York Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274464,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sir20135070.gif"},{"id":274461,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5070/pdf/sir2013-5070_miller_fig08_sheet.pdf","text":"Plate 08"},{"id":274462,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5070/pdf/sir2013-5070_miller_fig18_11x17.pdf","text":"Plate 18"},{"id":274459,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5070/"},{"id":274460,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5070/pdf/sir2013-5070_miller_508.pdf","text":"Report"},{"id":274463,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5070/pdf/sir2013-5070_miller_fig13_11x17.pdf","text":"Plate 13"}],"country":"United States","state":"New York","county":"Tompkins County","city":"Dryden","otherGeospatial":"Virgil Creek Valley;Dryden Lake Valley","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -76.314059,42.479558 ], [ -76.314059,42.50096 ], [ -76.286107,42.50096 ], [ -76.286107,42.479558 ], [ -76.314059,42.479558 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51d539d4e4b011afeb0c75c3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Miller, Todd S. tsmiller@usgs.gov","contributorId":1190,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miller","given":"Todd","email":"tsmiller@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":474,"text":"New York Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480220,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bugliosi, Edward F. ebuglios@usgs.gov","contributorId":1083,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bugliosi","given":"Edward","email":"ebuglios@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":474,"text":"New York Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":480219,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The putative “lava tube bat” of Hawaii is extinct, whereas the Hawaiian Hoary Bat, Lasiurus cinereus semotus, survives as an endangered species. We conducted a three-stage analysis to identify conditions under which hoary bats originally colonized Hawaii. We used FLIGHT to determine if stores of fat would provide the energy necessary to fly from the Farallon Islands (California) to Hawaii, a distance of 3,665 km. The Farallons are a known stopover and the closest landfall to Hawaii for hoary bats during migrations within North America. Our modeling variables included physiological, morphological, and behavioral data characterizing North American Hoary Bat populations. The second step of our modeling process investigated the potential limiting factor of water during flight. The third step in our modeling examines the role that prevailing trade winds may have played in colonization flights. Of our 36 modeling scenarios, 17 (47 %) require tailwind assistance within the range of observed wind speeds, and 7 of these scenarios required <10 m s<sup>−1</sup> tailwinds as regularly expected due to easterly trade winds. Therefore the climatic conditions needed for bats to colonize Hawaii may not occur infrequently either in contemporary times or since the end of the Pleistocene. Hawaii’s hoary bats have undergone divergence from mainland populations resulting in smaller body size and unique pelage color.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Bat Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":4,"text":"Other Government Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","publisherLocation":"New York","doi":"10.1007/978-1-4614-7397-8_10","isbn":"9781461473961","usgsCitation":"Bonaccorso, F., and McGuire, L.P., 2013, Modeling the colonization of Hawaii by hoary bats (<i>Lasiurus cinereus</i>), chap. <i>of</i> Bat Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation, p. 187-205, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-7397-8_10.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"187","endPage":"205","numberOfPages":"19","ipdsId":"IP-038836","costCenters":[{"id":521,"text":"Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":278661,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":278660,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-7397-8_10"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawai'i","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -178.31,18.91 ], [ -178.31,28.4 ], [ -154.81,28.4 ], [ -154.81,18.91 ], [ -178.31,18.91 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2013-07-08","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5274cd7ee4b089748f072438","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bonaccorso, Frank J.","contributorId":73089,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bonaccorso","given":"Frank J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484859,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"McGuire, Liam P.","contributorId":66161,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McGuire","given":"Liam","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":484858,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Microsite-scale variables favored by owls included burrows excavated by desert tortoise (<i>Gopherus agassizii</i>), burrows with a large mound of excavated soil at the entrance, and a greater number of satellite burrows within 5 m of the nest burrow. At the territory scale, owls preferred patches with greater cover of creosote bush (<i>Larrea tridentata</i>) within 50 m of the nest burrow. An interaction between the presence or absence of a calcic soil horizon layer over the top of the burrow (microsite) and the number of burrows within 50 m (territory) influenced nest site choice.

Recently developed flood inundation mapping technologies make it possible to view the extent and depth of flooding on the land surface over the Internet; however, by themselves these technologies are unable to provide estimates of losses to property and infrastructure. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA's) HAZUS-MH software is extensively used to conduct flood loss analyses in the United States, providing a nationwide database of population and infrastructure at risk. Unfortunately, HAZUS-MH requires a dedicated Geographic Information System (GIS) workstation and a trained operator, and analyses are not adapted for convenient delivery over the Web. This article describes a cooperative effort by the US Geological Survey (USGS) and FEMA to make HAZUS-MH output GIS and Web compatible and to integrate these data with digital flood inundation maps in USGS’s newly developed Inundation Mapping Web Portal. By running the computationally intensive HAZUS-MH flood analyses offline and converting the output to a Web-GIS compatible format, detailed estimates of flood losses can now be delivered to anyone with Internet access, thus dramatically increasing the availability of these forecasts to local emergency planners and first responders.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Emergency Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Prime National Publication Corporation","doi":"10.5055/jem.2013.0145","usgsCitation":"Hearn, Longenecker, H.E., Aguinaldo, J.J., and Rahav, A.N., 2013, Delivering integrated HAZUS-MH flood loss analyses and flood inundation maps over the Web: Journal of Emergency Management, v. 11, no. 4, p. 293-302, https://doi.org/10.5055/jem.2013.0145.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"293","endPage":"302","numberOfPages":"10","ipdsId":"IP-039135","costCenters":[{"id":242,"text":"Eastern Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":278377,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":278373,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.5055/jem.2013.0145"}],"volume":"11","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-02-16","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"526a416fe4b0c0d229f9f66b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hearn, Jr. phearn@usgs.gov","contributorId":1950,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hearn","suffix":"Jr.","email":"phearn@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":242,"text":"Eastern Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":485124,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Longenecker, Herbert E.

There are contributions from ocean thermal expansion, mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets, groundwater extraction, and reservoir impoundment. Progress has been made toward solving the “enigma” of twentieth-century GMSLR, which is that the observed GMSLR has previously been found to exceed the sum of estimated contributions, especially for the earlier decades. The authors propose the following: thermal expansion simulated by climate models may previously have been underestimated because of their not including volcanic forcing in their control state; the rate of glacier mass loss was larger than previously estimated and was not smaller in the first half than in the second half of the century; the Greenland ice sheet could have made a positive contribution throughout the century; and groundwater depletion and reservoir impoundment, which are of opposite sign, may have been approximately equal in magnitude. It is possible to reconstruct the time series of GMSLR from the quantified contributions, apart from a constant residual term, which is small enough to be explained as a long-term contribution from the Antarctic ice sheet. The reconstructions account for the observation that the rate of GMSLR was not much larger during the last 50 years than during the twentieth century as a whole, despite the increasing anthropogenic forcing. Semiempirical methods for projecting GMSLR depend on the existence of a relationship between global climate change and the rate of GMSLR, but the implication of the authors' closure of the budget is that such a relationship is weak or absent during the twentieth century.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Climate","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","doi":"10.1175/JCLI-D-12-00319.1","usgsCitation":"Gregory, J., White, N., Church, J., Bierkens, M., Box, J., Van den Broeke, M., Cogley, J., Fettweis, X., Hanna, E., Huybrechts, P., Konikow, L.F., Leclercq, P., Marzeion, B., Oerlemans, J., Tamisiea, M., Wada, Y., Wake, L., and Van de Wal, R., 2013, Twentieth-century global-mean sea level rise: Is the whole greater than the sum of the parts?: Journal of Climate, v. 26, no. 13, p. 4476-4499, https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-12-00319.1.","productDescription":"24 p.","startPage":"4476","endPage":"4499","ipdsId":"IP-041890","costCenters":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program -

The geophysical methods used at each site included passive and active surface-wave and body-wave techniques. Multiple techniques were used at most sites, with the goal of robustly determining VS (shear-wave velocity) profiles and V<sub>S30</sub> (the time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 meters depth). These techniques included: horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR), two-dimensional (2-D) array microtremor (AM), refraction microtremor (ReMi™), spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW), multi-channel analysis of surface waves (Rayleigh wave: MAS<sub>R</sub>W; and Love wave: MAS<sub>L</sub>W), and compressional- and shear-wave refraction. Of the selected sites, 47 percent have crystalline, volcanic, or sedimentary rock at the surface or at relatively shallow depth, and 53 percent are of Quaternary sediments located in either rural or urban environments. Calculated values of VS30 span almost the full range of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Site Classes, from D (stiff soils) to B (rock). The NEHRP Site Classes based on V<sub>S30</sub> range from being consistent with the Class expected from analysis of surficial geology, to being one or two Site Classes below expected. In a few cases where differences between the observed and expected Site Class occurred, it was the consequence of inaccurate or coarse geologic mapping, as well as considerable degradation of the near-surface rock. Additionally, several sites mapped as rock have Site Class D (stiff soil) velocities, which is due to the extensive weathering of the surficial rock.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20131102","usgsCitation":"Yong, A., Martin, A., Stokoe, K., and Diehl, J., 2013, ARRA-funded V<sub>S30</sub> measurements using multi-technique approach at strong-motion stations in California and central-eastern United States: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2013-1102, Report: iv, 58 p., appendix; Appendix A: 2610 p.; Data repository folder, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20131102.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 58 p., appendix; Appendix A: 2610 p.; Data repository folder","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","costCenters":[{"id":152,"text":"California Field Office Earthquake Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274325,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20131102.jpg"},{"id":274323,"type":{"id":7,"text":"Companion Files"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1102/data"},{"id":274321,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1102/of2013-1102_text.pdf"},{"id":274324,"type":{"id":3,"text":"Appendix"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1102/of2013-1102_appendix_a.pdf"},{"id":274322,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1102/"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -123.9148,32.898 ], [ -123.9148,39.2152 ], [ -114.4446,39.2152 ], [ -114.4446,32.898 ], [ -123.9148,32.898 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51d2a4e0e4b0ca18483389ca","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Yong, Alan 0000-0003-1807-5847","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1807-5847","contributorId":23037,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Yong","given":"Alan","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480111,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Martin, Antony","contributorId":16731,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martin","given":"Antony","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480110,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stokoe, Kenneth","contributorId":98199,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stokoe","given":"Kenneth","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480113,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Diehl, John","contributorId":65744,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Diehl","given":"John","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480112,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The system uses a simple, color-coded ranking that focuses on volcanic ash emissions: Green—normal background; Yellow—signs of unrest; Orange—precursory unrest or minor ash eruption; Red—major ash eruption imminent or underway. The color code has been successfully applied on a regional scale in Alaska for a sustained period. During 2002–2011, elevated color codes were assigned by AVO to 13 volcanoes, eight of which erupted; for that decade, one or more Alaskan volcanoes were at Yellow on 67&nbsp;% of days and at Orange or Red on 12&nbsp;% of days. As evidence of its utility, the color code system is integrated into procedures of agencies responsible for air-traffic management and aviation meteorology in Alaska. Furthermore, it is endorsed as a key part of globally coordinated protocols established by the International Civil Aviation Organization to provide warnings of ash hazards to aviation worldwide. The color code and accompanying structured message (called a Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation) comprise an effective early-warning message system according to the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. The aviation color code system currently is used in the United States, Russia, New Zealand, Iceland, and partially in the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia. Although there are some barriers to implementation, with continued education and outreach to Volcano Observatories worldwide, greater use of the aviation color code system is achievable.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s11069-013-0761-4","usgsCitation":"Guffanti, M.C., and Miller, T., 2013, A volcanic activity alert-level system for aviation: Review of its development and application in Alaska: Natural Hazards, v. 69, p. 1519-1533, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-013-0761-4.","productDescription":"15 p.

Coal beds within this formation generally contain the most laterally extensive aquifers in much of the reservation. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, conducted a study to estimate the volume of water in five coal aquifers.\n\nThis report presents estimates of the volume of water in five coal aquifers in the eastern and southern parts of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation: the Canyon, Wall, Pawnee, Knobloch, and Flowers-Goodale coal beds in the Tongue River Member of the Tertiary Fort Union Formation. Only conservative estimates of the volume of water in these coal aquifers are presented.\n\nThe volume of water in the Canyon coal was estimated to range from about 10,400 acre-feet (75 percent saturated) to 3,450 acre-feet (25 percent saturated). The volume of water in the Wall coal was estimated to range from about 14,200 acre-feet (100 percent saturated) to 3,560 acre-feet (25 percent saturated). The volume of water in the Pawnee coal was estimated to range from about 9,440 acre-feet (100 percent saturated) to 2,360 acre-feet (25 percent saturated). The volume of water in the Knobloch coal was estimated to range from about 38,700 acre-feet (100 percent saturated) to 9,680 acre-feet (25 percent saturated). The volume of water in the Flowers-Goodale coal was estimated to be about 35,800 acre-feet (100 percent saturated).\n\nSufficient data are needed to accurately characterize coal-bed horizontal and vertical variability, which is highly complex both locally and regionally. Where data points are widely spaced, the reliability of estimates of the volume of coal beds is decreased. Additionally, reliable estimates of the volume of water in coal aquifers depend heavily on data about water levels and data about coal-aquifer characteristics. Because the data needed to define the volume of water were sparse, only conservative estimates of the volume of water in the five coal aquifers are presented in this report. These estimates need to be used with caution and mindfulness of the uncertainty associated with them.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20125209","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe","usgsCitation":"Tuck, L., Pearson, D., Cannon, M.R., and Dutton, D., 2013, Estimates of the volume of water in five coal aquifers, Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, southeastern Montana: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2012-5209, vi, 26 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20125209.","productDescription":"vi, 26 p.","numberOfPages":"35","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":400,"text":"Montana Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":274237,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/sir20125209.gif"},{"id":274235,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2012/5209/"},{"id":274236,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2012/5209/sir2012-5209.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Montana","otherGeospatial":"Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -107.083333,45.166667 ], [ -107.083333,45.75 ], [ -106.166667,45.75 ], [ -106.166667,45.166667 ], [ -107.083333,45.166667 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51cbff4fe4b052f2a453985f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Tuck, L.K.","contributorId":54247,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tuck","given":"L.K.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480041,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Pearson, Daniel K.","contributorId":52014,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pearson","given":"Daniel K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":480040,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Cannon, M.

Migratory birds from the Pacific Americas, Central Pacific, and East Asian-Australasian flyways converge in this region, providing opportunities for intermixing of North American- and Eurasian-origin hosts and infectious agents, such as avian influenza virus (AIV). We characterized the genomes of 90 low pathogenic (LP) AIV isolates from 11 species of waterfowl sampled on the Y-K Delta between 2006 and 2009 as part of an interagency surveillance program for the detection of the H5N1 highly pathogenic (HP) strain of AIV. We found evidence for subtype and genetic differences between viruses from swans and geese, dabbling ducks, and sea ducks. At least one gene segment in 39% of all isolates was Eurasian in origin. Target species (those ranked as having a relatively high potential to introduce HP H5N1 AIV to North America) were no more likely than nontarget species to carry viruses with genes of Eurasian origin. These findings provide evidence that the frequency at which viral gene segments of Eurasian origin are detected does not result from a strong species effect, but rather we suspect it is linked to the geographic location of the Y-K Delta in western Alaska where flyways from different continents overlap. This study provides support for retaining the Y-K Delta as a high priority region for the surveillance of Asian avian pathogens such as HP H5N1 AIV.","language":"English","publisher":"WDA","doi":"10.7589/2012-04-108","usgsCitation":"Reeves, A.B., Pearce, J.M., Ramey, A.M., Ely, C.R., Schmutz, J.A., Flint, P.L., Derksen, D.V., Ip, S., and

We evaluate the productivity and phenology of western South Dakota mixed-grass prairie using 2000 to 2008 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) satellite imagery at 250 m spatial resolution. Growing season NDVI images were integrated weekly to produce time-integrated NDVI (TIN), a proxy of total annual biomass production, and integrated seasonally to represent annual production by cool (C3) and warm (C4) season species. Additionally, a variety of phenological indicators including cool season percentage of TIN were derived from the seasonal profiles of NDVI. Cool season percentage and TIN were combined to generate vegetation classes, which served as proxies of plant community condition. TIN decreased with precipitation from east to west across the study area. Alternatively, cool season percentage increased from east to west, following patterns related to the reliability (interannual coefficient of variation [CV]) and quantity of mid-summer precipitation. Cool season TIN averaged 76.8% of total. Seasonal accumulation of TIN corresponded closely (R2 > 0.90) to that of gross photosynthesis data from a carbon flux tower. Field-collected biomass and community composition data were strongly related to the TIN and cool season percentage products. The patterns of vegetation classes were responsive to topographic, edaphic, and land management influences on plant communities. Accurate maps of biomass production, cool/warm season composition, and vegetation classes can improve the efficiency of land management by adjusting stocking rates and season of use to maximize rangeland productivity and achieve conservation objectives. Further, our results clarify the spatial and temporal dynamics of phenology and TIN in mixed-grass prairie.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Rangeland Ecology and Management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Society for Range Management","doi":"10.2111/REM-D-12-00083.1","usgsCitation":"Rigge, M., Smart, A., Wylie, B., Gilmanov, T., and Johnson, P., 2013, Linking phenology and biomass productivity in South Dakota mixed-grass prairie: Rangeland Ecology and Management, v. 66, no. 5, p. 579-587, https://doi.org/10.2111/REM-D-12-00083.1.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"579","endPage":"587","numberOfPages":"8","ipdsId":"IP-039037","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":473739,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/10150/642745","text":"External Repository"},{"id":274001,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274000,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.2111/REM-D-12-00083.1"}],"country":"United States","state":"South Dakota","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -104.06,42.48 ], [ -104.06,45.95 ], [ -96.44,45.95 ], [ -96.44,42.48 ], [ -104.06,42.48 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"66","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51c2c4d5e4b08857aac42380","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rigge, Matthew 0000-0003-4471-8009","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4471-8009","contributorId":19457,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rigge","given":"Matthew","affiliations":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":479196,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Smart, Alexander","contributorId":24262,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smart","given":"Alexander","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479197,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Wylie, Bruce 0000-0002-7374-1083","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7374-1083","contributorId":107996,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wylie","given":"Bruce","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479198,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gilmanov, Tagir","contributorId":6351,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gilmanov","given":"Tagir","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479194,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Johnson, Patricia","contributorId":16303,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnson","given":"Patricia","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":479195,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
