Illegally traded turtles may be intercepted by several different agencies with separate jurisdictions. When turtles are confiscated, uncertainties may make releasing them back to the wild difficult. We used tools from decision analysis to achieve the following three objectives: (1) map elements of the decision process and their relationships in the illegal turtle trade using conceptual models, (2) outline the linked decisions for turtle confiscation and repatriation using decision trees, and (3) evaluate the decision trees for two example scenarios, one with moderate uncertainty and one with high uncertainty. We used the wood turtle (</span><i>Glyptemys insculpta</i><span>) as a case study, which is a species of conservation concern in part due to illegal wildlife trafficking. We conducted 23 semi-structured interviews of decision makers in law enforcement, biologists, land managers, and zoo staff. Interviews revealed that decisions regarding the disposition of confiscated turtles are complicated by uncertainty in disease status and origin. Decision makers that handle confiscated turtles also recognize that their decisions are often made in sequence and dependent on the outcome of antecedent decisions. In evaluating our decision trees, we found that the optimal decisions for example scenarios were similar and insensitive to uncertainty. Future applications of the decision trees by decision makers would involve a decision analyst to parameterize and interpret the choices and consequences involved in working through these decision trees. Collectively, our work shows how the use of decision trees can help structure and evaluate risky decisions for repatriating confiscated wildlife.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Conservation Biology","doi":"10.1111/csp2.70165","usgsCitation":"Smith, D., DiRenzo, G.V., Fleming, J.E., McEachran, M.C., and Campbell Grant, E.H., 2025, An analysis of the linked decisions in the confiscation of illegally traded turtles: Conservation Science and Practice, e70165, 12 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.70165.","productDescription":"e70165, 12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-166499","costCenters":[{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498702,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.70165","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":498616,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -97.61952248598104,\n              51.579179045299185\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.61952248598104,\n              37.42140161216963\n            ],\n            [\n              -66.83408644894973,\n              37.42140161216963\n            ],\n            [\n              -66.83408644894973,\n              51.579179045299185\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.61952248598104,\n              51.579179045299185\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"8","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-22","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smith, Desireé","contributorId":365126,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"Desireé","affiliations":[{"id":36396,"text":"University of Massachusetts","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953733,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"DiRenzo, Graziella V.","contributorId":365127,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"DiRenzo","given":"Graziella","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":36396,"text":"University of Massachusetts","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953734,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Fleming, Jillian Elizabeth 0000-0003-2570-914X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2570-914X","contributorId":238931,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fleming","given":"Jillian","email":"","middleInitial":"Elizabeth","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953735,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McEachran, Margaret C.","contributorId":365130,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McEachran","given":"Margaret","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":36396,"text":"University of Massachusetts","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953736,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Campbell Grant, Evan H. 0000-0003-4401-6496 ehgrant@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4401-6496","contributorId":150443,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Campbell Grant","given":"Evan","email":"ehgrant@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953737,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Yet, quantification of the life-time costs, impacts, and benefits remains limited. This study provides one of the first rigorous, spatially explicit, regional-scale Benefit:Cost Analyses (BCA) for coral reef restoration and was designed to meet the BCA requirements of major hazard mitigation funding and programs. This study simulates coastal flooding using a hydrodynamic model under different scenarios representing current coral reef conditions, reef degradation, and reef restoration. These coastal flood maps are used to estimate socioeconomic damages, which are included in a BCA to assess cost-effectiveness and priority areas for coral reef conservation and restoration. The United States Virgin Islands is used as a case study given recent impacts from storms and their new policy that declares reefs as natural infrastructure. The results show that flood risk across the islands of Saint Croix, Saint John, and Saint Thomas is $51.4 million USD per year. Annually, coral reefs prevent flood damages to 481 people and $43.6 million USD of infrastructure, which represents 87&nbsp;% of the flood risk. These results identify the communities that could receive the greatest benefits from coral conservation and restoration, which overlap significantly. Coral reef restoration is found to be a cost-effective strategy for flood mitigation although how reefs are restored matters. Hybrid coral reef restoration provides greater flood mitigation benefits than ecological restoration, but its cost-effectiveness is overall lower given its greater costs. Many coastal areas have benefit:cost ratios exceeding 1.5, which complies with typical government agencies’ requirements for accessing hazard mitigation funds. This valuation framework helps provide rigorous regional-scale quantification of nature-based coastal protection solutions for coastal risk management decisions.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.128166","usgsCitation":"Reguero, B., Gaido-Lassare, C., Storlazzi, C.D., McNulty, V., Perez, D., and Beck, M.W., 2026, Where to restore and conserve?

The model performed well in this complex estuarine system, with higher accuracy from PACE-OCI (MAE: 1.48, RMSE: 10.40, slope: 0.87) than Sentinel 2-MSI (MAE: 1.57, RMSE: 11.08, slope: 0.83). This approach enabled continuous high-resolution monitoring of phytoplankton biomass across space and time. Comparative analysis of 2019, a wet year with Bonnet Carré Spillway (BCS) openings, and 2023, a dry year with extremely low riverine inputs, revealed distinct biomass dynamics.

Phosphorus (P) spirals between dissolved and particulate forms as it is transported with suspended sediment (SS) from agricultural fields, through the stream network, to receiving water bodies. This dynamic sorption-desorption influences bioavailability. We quantified P form and abundance in samples collected during surface-runoff events from a farm field in the East River Basin, Wisconsin and compared them to those in stream water collected from the East River. We sampled five events between late March 2022 and June 2023. During most events, P in surface runoff was mainly in dissolved form, with particulate P sorbed to fine clay, the most abundant particle fraction transported from the field, whereas P in stream water was mainly in particulate form and sorbed to silt, even though fine clay was the most abundant particle fraction in the stream during events. Overall capacity for P sorption to SS in the stream varied among events. Total P and SS concentrations were lower during summer baseflow conditions and smaller surface runoff events; however, what SS was present was more P enriched. This shift in P form from field to stream indicates a potential for sorbing dissolved P to SS during transport through the stream network, which changes the bioavailability of P exported downstream with less bioavailable P as dissolved P binds to SS.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of

They have high socioeconomic and recreational value and support an important aquaculture industry. Since 2008, fisheries managers have been reporting the observation of hyperpigmented melanistic lesions (HPMLs) on smallmouth bass (</span><i>M. dolomieu</i><span>) in different ecoregions of the United States. Similar HPMLs have been observed in largemouth bass (</span><i>M. nigricans</i><span>) since the 1980’s. Here, we report the association between novel adomaviruses and the hallmark blotchy clinical presentation of hyperpigmented lesions on the skin of smallmouth and largemouth black bass. The two adomaviruses are structurally and phylogenetically similar but share only 68.0% identity at aligned nucleotide sites and each has been found in only one host species to date. The manifestation of this skin disease appears to be seasonal (observed between the fall and spring) in both species, primarily affects adults and is of unknown health consequence. Although the significance of infection to fish health remains unclear, understanding the disease ecology of these viruses can inform biosecurity and the interjurisdictional movement of individuals. Moreover, as hyperpigmentation in other fish species is often idiopathic, our findings reframe perspectives for future investigations into this clinical presentation in other species.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLOS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0326402","usgsCitation":"Iwanowicz, L.R., Raines, C.D., Young, K.T., Blazer, V., Walsh, H.L., Smith, G.,

This is important for many reasons, including that feedbacks between the social and ecological dimensions lead to difficult-to-predict, often entirely unexpected, outcomes and because many management and governance systems have multiple objectives that can involve social (e.g. fisher satisfaction), economic (e.g. license revenue), and ecological (e.g. fish conservation) dimensions. Embracing a social-ecological-system perspective can usher in an improved era of recreational fisheries science and management. Interdisciplinary approaches that unite experts across disciplines (e.g. social and ecological sciences) to create a unique theoretical, conceptual, and methodological identity are needed to gather crucial information from recreational fishers, quantify and predict fisher behaviours and outcomes from these behaviours, and integrate these findings into fisheries management. In this chapter, we lay the conceptual foundation for recreational fisheries as coupled social-ecological systems that are also complex and adaptive, and discuss the interdisciplinary approach to operationalize this book’s vision.</span></span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_1","usgsCitation":"Lynch, A., Hunt, L.M., Beardmore, A.B., van Poorten, B.T., Pope, K.L., and Arlinghaus, R., 2026, Complexity and integration of recreational fisheries, chap. 1 <i>of</i> Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management, p. 3-19, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_1.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"3","endPage":"19","ipdsId":"IP-152628","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497733,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":497616,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lynch, Abigail J. 0000-0001-8449-8392","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8449-8392","contributorId":207361,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lynch","given":"Abigail","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":411,"text":"National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":952365,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hunt, Len M.","contributorId":177323,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hunt","given":"Len","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":952366,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Beardmore, A.

The objective of this edited volume is to reduce this knowledge gap. The book comprises four parts: (I) recreational fisheries as social-ecological systems, (II) disciplinary views of f ishers’ behaviours and outcomes, (III) engagement of fishers to support effective social science, and (IV) interdisciplinary integration for recreational fisheries management. Part I provides the general motivation for an interdisciplinary approach to understand recreational fisheries as coupled systems. Part II provides the foundations of various social science disciplines and highlights linkages and differences in the underlying theories and concepts used. Part III describes various qualitative and quantitative methods to study the social aspects of recreational fisheries in more detail, and Part IV suggests approaches to achieve standardisation and integration of different data streams, including how to link social and ecological data.

The greater white-fronted goose (</span><i>Anser albifrons</i><span>) has shifted its wintering distribution from coastal marshes in Texas and Louisiana, USA, to interior landscapes, creating challenges for conservation managers. Although the range shift has been primarily attributed to landscape-scale changes in rice production, effects of fine-scale habitat conditions on greater white-fronted goose habitat use are unknown. Thus, information on fine-scale environmental conditions could provide information to managers working to mitigate effects of the shift. We used global positioning system neck collars to monitor 78 greater white-fronted geese in Louisiana each winter during 2016–2019 and visited all used locations to record vegetation height, water depth, and land cover. We modeled greater white-fronted goose habitat use in 4 regions across Louisiana (central, coastal, north, southwest), and evaluated effects of vegetation height, water depth, land cover, and interactions. In our candidate model set, we included a sampling null, which accounted for differences in sampling frequencies among hunt seasons and diel periods. The top model in the central, coastal, and north regions included water depth, whereas the top model in the southwest region included water depth, vegetation height, and land cover. Parameter estimates and confidence intervals indicated that goose habitat use was higher at sites with &gt;5.1 cm of water compared to dry sites or sites with &lt;5.1 cm of water. In the southwest region, goose habitat use was highest in areas identified as other land cover (e.g., corn, cotton, rye, sugarcane) and lowest in open water. Although Louisiana has substantial anthropogenic food resources in the form of rice agriculture and abundant grazing opportunities afforded by mild winters, our results indicate that wet areas provide better habitat to greater white-fronted geese than dry areas. New agricultural flooding regimes in Louisiana could improve habitat quality and potentially mitigate some effects of the winter distribution shift.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The

This diverse inquiry has produced a comprehensive understanding of the behaviours of recreational fishers, the outcomes from fishing, and the relationships among fishers, others, and the natural and human environment. The associated body of research, however, is largely disconnected across disciplines. Our goals here are to help readers understand the similarities and differences among disciplines and to identify opportunities for interdisciplinary-based research on recreational fishers. Before addressing these goals, we begin by answering basic questions: What is a discipline? What are the primary disciplines used to study recreational fishers? And what is the genealogy of research on recreational fishers? Seven key disciplines are then classified by multi-criteria related to both focus and epistemological and methodological approaches. This classification reveals clear connections among: (i) ecological science and resource economics, and to a lesser extent historical ecology; (ii) environmental history and political ecology; and (iii) behavioural economics and social psychology. We next describe and provide possible remedies for barriers that inhibit interdisciplinary research, including different epistemologies, nomenclature, and reward bias. Finally, we highlight opportunities to conduct interdisciplinary research by describing the types of benefits that each discipline can provide when conducting interdisciplinary research on recreational fisheries.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_3","usgsCitation":"Hunt, L.M., Boucquey, N., Beardmore, B., Christensen, J., Fulton, D.C., Mackay, M., Melstrom, R.T., Post, J.R., Schroeder, S.A., Thurstan, R.H., van Putten, E.I., and Arlinghaus, R., 2026, Introducing disciplinary perspectives and interdisciplinary possibilities for studying recreational fishers and fisheries, chap. <i>of</i> Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management, p. 57-93, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_3.","productDescription":"37 p.","startPage":"57","endPage":"93","ipdsId":"IP-152010","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":502492,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_3","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":502351,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hunt, Len M.

PM has the potential to be used more frequently to address recreational fisheries problems. We focus on our experience working with small groups (usually &lt;40 people) to address natural resource issues. This chapter focuses on building a PM team and the communications that occur before, during, and after a PM process. The participants usually include people like recreational and commercial fishers, members of environmental non-governmental organizations, and fishery managers or other decision makers. Ground rules, expectations, and end goals should be established early in the PM process. We emphasize that benefits arise from including the participants in the development and validation of the models in a process that includes feedback between the modellers and participants. Although participants are ideally involved in all stages, their inclusion during model development and testing can be critical for buy-in within the group. When the modellers listen carefully to participant concerns and respond to those concerns during model development, we have experienced favourable process outcomes such as improved participant engagement and building of trust.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_22","usgsCitation":"Wilberg, M.J., Irwin, B., and Jones, M., 2026, Participatory modelling to support evaluation of management actions for recreational fisheries, chap. 22 <i>of</i> Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management, p. 693-718, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_22.","productDescription":"26 p.","startPage":"693","endPage":"718","ipdsId":"IP-149844","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":502491,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_22","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":502350,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wilberg, Michael J.","contributorId":36494,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wilberg","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":958906,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Irwin, Brian J. 0000-0002-0666-2641","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0666-2641","contributorId":280043,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Irwin","given":"Brian J.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":958907,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jones, Michael L.","contributorId":126763,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jones","given":"Michael L.","affiliations":[{"id":6600,"text":"Qauntitative Fisheries Center, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958908,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

There are myriad studies about integrating stakeholder knowledge, but they span broad disciplines and topics. Lacking is (i) simple taxonomies that organize general approaches for integrating knowledge, and (ii) a review and examples of their application to specifically recreational fisheries and specifically diverse stakeholders. This chapter first defines the terms “stakeholders” and “recreational” and recognizes that globally, the decision making for non-commercial fisheries often occurs outside of the North American concept of management agencies and even purely leisure-based fisheries. Most of the chapter reviews common approaches for integrating stakeholder knowledge, from near-complete external governance with minimal input from stakeholders (top-down, command-and-control) to self-governance by stakeholders. Organizationally, we adapt the existing cooperative management continuum to first separate non-participatory from participatory approaches and then separate participatory approaches into those aimed at creating knowledge (to eventually inform future decisions) and those focused on decision making itself. The approaches we consider include observing stakeholders (e.g., via survey), incorporating multiple types of knowing (e.g., local traditional knowledge), collaborative data collection (e.g., citizen science), collaborative modelling (e.g., mental models and quantitative modelling), participatory decision making (co-management proper and the special cases of structured decision making and adaptive management), and finally self-governance (including private management of recreational fisheries). We define each according to a broader literature beyond recreational fisheries, describe the recognized advantages and disadvantages, describe or summarize applications to recreational fisheries, and finally mention relevance for integrating specifically&nbsp;</span><i>diverse</i><span>&nbsp;stakeholder knowledge. We then provide advice for how to select different approaches, including situations in which certain approaches are more likely to produce intended consequences. We conclude by describing potential challenges to the more useful integration of diverse stakeholder knowledge and needs in recreational fisheries decision making.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_20","usgsCitation":"Camp, E.V., van Poorten, B.T., Robinson, K.F., Harrison, H., Nguyen, V., Crandall, C., Lorenzen, K., Casola, W., Dedual, M., and Klizentyte, K., 2026, Integrating diverse stakeholder knowledge in recreational fisheries decision making, chap. 20 <i>of</i> Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management, p. 607-660, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_20.","productDescription":"54 p.","startPage":"607","endPage":"660","ipdsId":"IP-150512","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":502490,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_20","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":502349,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Camp, Edward V.","contributorId":173095,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Camp","given":"Edward","email":"","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":12557,"text":"University of Florida, FLREC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958924,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"van Poorten, Brett T.","contributorId":364222,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"van Poorten","given":"Brett","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":958925,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Robinson, Kelly Filer 0000-0001-8109-9492","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8109-9492","contributorId":340631,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Robinson","given":"Kelly","email":"","middleInitial":"Filer","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":958926,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Harrison, Hannah","contributorId":369414,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harrison","given":"Hannah","affiliations":[{"id":24650,"text":"Dalhousie University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958927,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Nguyen, Vivian M.","contributorId":166922,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nguyen","given":"Vivian M.","affiliations":[{"id":17786,"text":"Carleton University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958928,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Crandall, Chelsey","contributorId":340788,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Crandall","given":"Chelsey","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":81665,"text":"Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission,","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958929,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Lorenzen, Kai","contributorId":169476,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lorenzen","given":"Kai","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":12557,"text":"University of Florida, FLREC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958930,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Casola, Will","contributorId":369418,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Casola","given":"Will","affiliations":[{"id":7091,"text":"North Carolina State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958931,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Dedual, Michel","contributorId":369419,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dedual","given":"Michel","affiliations":[{"id":38703,"text":"New Zealand Department of Conservation","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958932,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Klizentyte, Kotryna","contributorId":369420,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Klizentyte","given":"Kotryna","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":958933,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

The feedbacks among ecological changes and social responses by fishers create complexity and uncertainty. However, uncertainty can impede the integration of ecological and social dimensions, particularly when considering human behavioural responses to management decisions and ecological changes. One of the few ways to reduce these uncertainties is via experimentation at the system level. Adaptive management (and the larger umbrella of decision analysis) provides a framework to implement purposeful management experiments in a structured manner to learn through an iterative decision process, thereby allowing for the reduction in social and ecological uncertainties in response to planned policy interventions. We discuss the theory of adaptive management and conditions for which it is appropriate, as well as the benefits and costs of applying active versus passive adaptive management to reduce social and ecological uncertainties for recreational fisheries. We then provide key examples from previous studies on decisions for zoning in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, stocking decisions that include stakeholder learning in Germany, and decisions for stocking and harvest management in British Columbia, that demonstrate best practices for implementation of adaptive management to reduce uncertainties surrounding human behaviour and other social and ecological objectives related to recreational fisheries.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_23","usgsCitation":"Robinson, K.F., Arlinghaus, R., Camp, E.V., Post, J.R., Stedman, R., and Sutton, S., 2026, Adaptive management for recreational fisheries decisions in the face of uncertainty, chap. 23 <i>of</i> Understanding recreational fishers: Disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for fisheries management, p. 719-746, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_23.","productDescription":"28 p.","startPage":"719","endPage":"746","ipdsId":"IP-149568","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":502489,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-99739-6_23","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":502348,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Robinson, Kelly Filer 0000-0001-8109-9492","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8109-9492","contributorId":340631,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Robinson","given":"Kelly","email":"","middleInitial":"Filer","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":958918,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Arlinghaus, Robert","contributorId":364220,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Arlinghaus","given":"Robert","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":958919,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Camp, Edward V.","contributorId":173095,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Camp","given":"Edward","email":"","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":12557,"text":"University of Florida, FLREC","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958920,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Post, John R.","contributorId":369409,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Post","given":"John","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":16660,"text":"University of Calgary","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958921,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Stedman, Richard","contributorId":369410,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stedman","given":"Richard","affiliations":[{"id":12722,"text":"Cornell University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958922,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Sutton, Steve","contributorId":269612,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sutton","given":"Steve","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":56009,"text":"Center for Advanced Radiation Sources, The University of Chicago, Argonne, IL 60439, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958923,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Methods for collecting, analysing, and storing data can vary dramatically, which can have significant implications for the use of these data. Efforts to standardise data within organisations often increase the ability to compare datasets from different areas, monitor changes over time, and increase the utility of the data for management and research. Though employing standardised methodology and data architecture results in the most straightforward and robust opportunities for data integration, doing so may not be possible due to variation in data collection objectives, continuity with historical programs, and resource limitations. Additionally, managing data according to FAIR principles (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability) helps support data sharing and large-scale research efforts. Key elements of integrable data include appropriate data structures, adequate documentation of methodology, interpretable and complete metadata, and accessible storage formats. We document the potential benefits of standardising data and offer example approaches. We also explore best practices regarding the formatting, storage, and transmission of recreational fisher data.

However, the impact of interactions between climate change and ungulate browsers of trees, both of which have profound effects on the landscape, on the success of FAM efforts is unknown. We used a forest landscape model (LANDIS-II) to simulate assisted migration and browsing by ungulate (white-tailed deer [</span><i>Odocoileus virginianus</i><span>]) populations on a northern Wisconsin (USA) landscape under alternate climate futures. After accounting for effects of FAM strategy and climate change scenario, simulated ungulate browsing reduced species richness and the proportion of the landscape with tree species preferred by browsers and resulted in more of the landscape developing into novel forest communities that supported fewer ecosystem goods and services. Our results suggest that managers may need to select FAM species less preferred by ungulates or use seedling protection measures to mitigate the negative effects of chronically high ungulate populations in efforts to transition future forests to sustain ecosystem goods and services.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Conservation Biology","doi":"10.1111/cobi.70198","usgsCitation":"Gustafson, E.J., De Jager, N.R., McGraw, A.M., Kern, C.C., and Kabrick, J.M., 2026, Effects of ungulate browsing on forest assisted migration strategies to conserve ecosystem function: Conservation Biology, v. 40, no. 2, e70198, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.70198.","productDescription":"e70198, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-171512","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":501867,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Wisconsin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -88.9,\n              45.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.9,\n              45\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.333,\n              45\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.333,\n              45.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.9,\n              45.5\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"40","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-13","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gustafson, Eric J.","contributorId":368942,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gustafson","given":"Eric","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":37389,"text":"U.S. Forest Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958144,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"De Jager, Nathan R. 0000-0002-6649-4125 ndejager@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6649-4125","contributorId":3717,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"De Jager","given":"Nathan","email":"ndejager@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":958145,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McGraw, Amanda M.","contributorId":368943,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McGraw","given":"Amanda","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":6913,"text":"Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958146,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Kern, Christel C.","contributorId":368944,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kern","given":"Christel","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":37389,"text":"U.S. Forest Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958147,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kabrick, John M.","contributorId":368945,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kabrick","given":"John","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":37389,"text":"U.S. Forest Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":958148,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The area has been the site of salinity control operations since the 1990s to reduce salt loading to the downstream Colorado River. Previous airborne and ground/water-based electromagnetic (EM) geophysical data have successfully mapped the top of the brine surface, albeit with relatively coarse near-surface resolution and limited spatial coverage. This present December 2023 study used ground-based high-resolution EM and passive seismic (horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio, HVSR) tools to map in detail the depth and thickness of the brine zone in the alluvial aquifer (top of the brine down to bedrock contact) in areas immediately surrounding the Dolores River where previous airborne EM (AEM) results indicated brine within 10&nbsp;m of land surface. Results indicate the deepest bedrock is generally associated with the shallowest brine and local depressions in the collapse breccia (caprock to the Paradox Formation salt) may facilitate vertical migration of brine into the alluvial aquifer. Additionally, the ground-based EM mapping corroborated general patterns in depth to brine that were observed in previous AEM results while also revealing additional detail, including suspected focused brine discharge zones to the Dolores River. A river-based survey wherein EM data, channel depth and river water–specific conductance information were collected augmented these findings and indicated specific areas on both the western and eastern sides of the river where focused brine discharge may occur. This study comprises a large-scale, ground- and water-based geophysical mapping effort, including hundreds of HVSR soundings and 100s of kilometres of EM data, which were successfully translated into digital brine and bedrock surfaces that could be incorporated into groundwater modelling efforts, future well siting or other decision-making.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/nsg.70032","usgsCitation":"Terry, N., Mast, M.A., Creighton, A.L., Homan, J.W., Newman, C.P., and Paschke, S.S., 2026, Multi-scale geophysical mapping of the brine and bedrock surfaces along the Dolores River, Paradox Valley, Colorado, December 2023: Near Surface Geophysics, v. 24, no. 1, p. 36-49, https://doi.org/10.1002/nsg.70032.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"36","endPage":"49","ipdsId":"IP-171913","costCenters":[{"id":474,"text":"New York Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497869,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":498045,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nsg.70032","text":"Publisher Index Page"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","otherGeospatial":"Dolores River, Paradox Valley","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -108.932,\n              38.378\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.932,\n              38.292\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.797,\n              38.292\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.797,\n              38.378\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.932,\n              38.378\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"24","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-12","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Terry, Neil C. 0000-0002-3965-340X nterry@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3965-340X","contributorId":192554,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Terry","given":"Neil","email":"nterry@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":493,"text":"Office of Ground Water","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":486,"text":"OGW Branch of Geophysics","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":952784,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mast, M.

Orogenic graphite encompasses the metamorphic and orogenic mineral systems that produce flake graphite and hydrothermal vein (lump and chip) graphite deposits, respectively. A common feature of orogenic graphite deposits is an association with upper amphibolite- to granulite-facies metasedimentary rocks in continent-continent or continent-island arc collisional orogens. Orogenic flake graphite deposits form primarily through graphitization of organic carbon during regional metamorphism, but strain localization and partial melting of pelitic protoliths are likely important processes for graphite grade and quality enrichment. Orogenic vein graphite deposits precipitate from hydrothermal fluids, possibly derived from metamorphism or anatexis at depth. Decarbonation reactions in mixed calcareous-carbonaceous metasedimentary sequences are the most likely carbon sources for the veins. In contrast, intrusion-related graphite includes magmatic-hydrothermal and metamorphic mineral systems that form primarily in continental arc settings via the interaction of magmas with carbonaceous sedimentary packages. Magmatic-hydrothermal flake graphite deposits are hosted in plutonic and volcanic rocks, and result from the exsolution of CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>-CH</span><sub>4</sub><span>-rich fluids from melts contaminated by such packages. Contact metamorphism of carbonaceous sedimentary rocks by plutons produces some microcrystalline (amorphous) graphite deposits, including many in China. Compilation of geologic data from known graphite deposits globally suggests that pulses of carbon deposition in the Paleoproterozoic, Mesoproterozoic, and Neoproterozoic provided source carbon material. Subsequent supercontinent orogenesis at ca. 2,100 to 1,700&nbsp;Ma (Columbia), ca. 1,300 to 1,000&nbsp;Ma (Rodinia), and ca. 650 to 500&nbsp;Ma (Gondwana) resulted in the genesis of orogenic flake and vein graphite deposits, where favorable geologic components overlapped with organic ± carbonate carbon-rich strata. Cryogenian deposition of graphite protoliths and Cryogenian – Cambrian metamorphic mineralization account for nearly 75% of all known resources globally and coincide with profound carbon isotope excursions and climate variability, implying a link with the global carbon budget. Comparatively few graphite deposits are associated with Pangea-forming orogens, attributed to less exhumation and/or denudation. High-temperature metasedimentary belts containing organic carbon-rich protoliths are most favorable for hosting orogenic flake graphite deposits, whereas sequences that also contain carbonate protoliths are favorable for orogenic graphite veins. Continent-scale orogenic belts may host both deposit types along with vanadium deposits. Use of a time-space mineral systems framework for graphite deposits can improve exploration models needed to ensure future supply of this critical mineral and provide insights into Earth’s long-term carbon cycle.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00126-025-01412-5","usgsCitation":"Case, G.N., 2026, A time-space model of graphite mineral systems: Mineralium Deposita, v. 61, p. 783-810, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00126-025-01412-5.","productDescription":"28 p.","startPage":"783","endPage":"810","ipdsId":"IP-177742","costCenters":[{"id":119,"text":"Alaska Science Center Geology Minerals","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497464,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":497697,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00126-025-01412-5","text":"Publisher Index Page"}],"volume":"61","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-12","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Case, George N.D. 0000-0001-9826-5661 gcase@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9826-5661","contributorId":224941,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Case","given":"George","email":"gcase@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"N.D.","affiliations":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":952260,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Because channel incision causes large ecological and economic consequences, the prevention of continued migration of headcuts, defined as a steep change in stream gradient over a short reach, has been the focus of many stream engineering projects. Low-drop grade control structures (GCS) are a type of structure installed to halt the upstream movement of a headcut and were widely installed in the rivers and streams of the Yazoo River Basin in northern Mississippi. The goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of these structures 30+ years post installation. To assess GCS effects on channel morphology, stream cross-section surveys were used to calculate Bank Height Ratio, Width-to-Depth Ratio, and Entrenchment Ratio, while point estimates made along each transect were used to calculate the average sediment size distribution for each of 30 sites. Analyses revealed that the GCS were successful in checking channel incision moving headward in the streams: sites upstream of the GCS were less incised and had greater accumulations of fine substrates compared to sites downstream and sites on streams lacking erosion control structures. Given the widespread use of GCS, these results can inform efforts aimed at managing channel incision.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/rra.70090","usgsCitation":"Faucheux, N.M., Slack, W.T., and Miranda, L.E., 2026, Long‐term effects of low‐drop grade control structures on channel evolution in the Yazoo River Basin: River Research and Applications, v. 42, no. 3, p. 594-606, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.70090.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"594","endPage":"606","ipdsId":"IP-180477","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498840,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Mississippi","otherGeospatial":"Yazoo River Basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -90.28932174905381,\n              35.0232162738905\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.95382374676808,\n              33.91832585734925\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.95341215857874,\n              32.78359226760959\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.8575979162182,\n              32.902521534108786\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.45828897078013,\n              35.0232162738905\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.28932174905381,\n              35.0232162738905\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"42","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-12","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Faucheux, Nicky M.","contributorId":365398,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Faucheux","given":"Nicky","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":17848,"text":"Mississippi State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":954259,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Slack, W.

At the Iron and Chrome Mountain areas, massive sulfides occur along the complex’s footwall contact and anomalous concentrations of PGE+Au are associated with the three lowermost chromitite seams. Southeast of Chrome Mountain, magmatic layering is highly disrupted by the presence of faults, magmatic breccias, serpentinized discordant dunites, pyroxenite pegmatoids, and disaggregated chromitite seams. The bulk rock chemistry, sulfide chemistry, and noble metal mineralogy of samples from this area were examined to determine the deportment of PGE and processes that led to enrichments in PGE, Au, Cu, Co and Ni. Results show that a sulfide liquid was the principal collector of PGE. If sulfide liquid was initially deposited with chromite, it was disaggregated or redistributed by subsequent melt or fluid infiltration, which may have resulted in the offset of peak PGE(+Cu, Ni) from peak Cr</span><sub>2</sub><span>O</span><sub>3</sub><span>&nbsp;concentrations, and upgraded PGE tenors. Upon cooling, PGE exsolved from sulfides to form discrete bismuth tellurides, arsenides, arsenic sulfides, antimonides, and alloys, commonly along the margins of sulfide globules. Calculated metal tenors are highest in the disseminated sulfides southwest of Chrome Mountain, whereas massive and net-textured sulfides near the Iron Mountain-Camp zone represent monosulfide solid solution cumulates. At progressively shallower levels, higher metal tenors combined with lower S/Se ratios are consistent with increasing R-factors from 100 to 100,000. Serpentinization and talc-tremolite alteration resulted in S loss through partial replacement of sulfides by secondary silicate+carbonate+magnetite+sulfide assemblages, further upgrading Ni-Cu-PGE tenors. The present work shows that processes responsible for the disruption of magmatic layering and post-magmatic fluid alteration along the intrusion’s lower contact led to noble and base metal enrichments.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00126-025-01413-4","usgsCitation":"Andersen, A.K., and Jenkins, M., 2025, Noble and base metal distribution and processes affecting ore tenors in the disrupted lower stratigraphy of the Stillwater Complex, USA: Mineralium Deposita, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00126-025-01413-4.","productDescription":"28 p.","startPage":"747","endPage":"774","ipdsId":"IP-169688","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497704,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00126-025-01413-4","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":497473,"rank":2,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Montana","otherGeospatial":"Stillwater Complex","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -110.3333,\n              45.667\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.3333,\n              45.3333\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.75,\n              45.3333\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.75,\n              45.667\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.3333,\n              45.667\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"61","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-12-10","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Andersen, Allen K. 0000-0002-6865-2561","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6865-2561","contributorId":217476,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Andersen","given":"Allen","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":952065,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jenkins, Michael 0000-0002-4261-409X mjenkins@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4261-409X","contributorId":172433,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jenkins","given":"Michael","email":"mjenkins@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":952066,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Volcanoes on the Island of Hawai‘i are primarily monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory using instrumental networks, field surveys, satellite observations, and petrologic monitoring. In collaboration with the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, an important component of this monitoring is near-real-time (generally within 24 h of sample collection) bulk-rock geochemistry using benchtop energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). Bulk-rock geochemistry, coupled with additional petrologic and geophysical analyses, are used to track eruption dynamics to help facilitate identification and understanding of changes that signal the onset of potentially hazardous activity. In this paper, we present EDXRF methodology for bulk-rock analysis used to evaluate the 2018 Kīlauea and 2022 Mauna Loa eruptions and compare this technique to other geochemical methods. Syn-eruption geochemical monitoring using EDXRF provides reliable quantitative data that is important for understanding eruption dynamics. Critical to this process are calibrating the instrument for analysis over the same range of compositions expected during volcanic activity, compiling a relevant database from past eruptions on the same instrument for comparison, and having the physical infrastructure and trained personnel to complete the analyses in a timely fashion. In addition to the scientific goals of petrologic monitoring, near-real-time geochemical analysis in Hawaii provides important information about the nature of on-going eruptions and informs decision-makers and the public about associated evolving hazards.","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s00445-025-01922-0","collaboration":"University of Hawaii at

While other studies have previously found behavioral changes in anemones due to pollutants, our study is the first to document behavioral changes in anemones from pesticide exposure.

Surveys were timed to coincide with Sentinel-2 satellite overpasses.

Separately, to estimate chl-a fluorescence using satellite data, we developed a series of random forest models leveraging the rich fluorescence dataset collected. We tested three model types: individual day models, leave-one-out models trained on all days except a holdout test day, and a single pooled model trained on all days. Generally, individual day models exhibited lowest error (mean of mean absolute error [MAE] = 0.16 relative fluorescence units [RFU]), followed by the single pooled model (MAE = 0.22 RFU). Daily holdout models showed highest error (mean MAE = 0.40 RFU); this approach was intended to represent model performance on a day unseen in the training set, providing a more conservative estimate of performance than the more traditional pooled approach. Findings from both analyses emphasize the importance of considering temporal variability when modeling riverine systems.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer

Multiple lakes and reservoirs within New Jersey's Raritan Basin Water Supply Complex (RBWSC) feature recurrent HABs and discharge water into the Raritan River. As the RBWSC provides drinking water to 1.5 million people, these HABs create drinking water treatment and human health concerns. This study quantitatively reviews the persistence of cyanobacteria communities across the RBWSC from cyanobacteria-dominated lacustrine sources to downstream drinking water and qualitatively assess what, if any, water chemistry parameters influenced the persistence, growth, or decline of cyanobacteria during downstream transport. Statistical tests showed there was a lack of continuity between cyanobacteria communities along the Raritan River, except for periods of higher streamflow and higher releases from the Spruce Run Reservoir. Results along the Millstone River suggested the potential for in-river cyanobacteria growth, which overlapped with periods of low streamflow and high nutrient concentrations in the summer and fall. A permutational analysis of variance (PERMANVOA) test found significantly dissimilar (</span><i>p</i><span>&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;0.01) cyanobacteria communities between lake and reservoir outlet sites and downstream sites in the Raritan, but not the Millstone River (</span><i>p</i><span>&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.928). A similarity percentage (SIMPER) analysis found cyanobacteria communities changed from high densities of bloom forming cyanobacteria (</span><i>Aphanocapsa, Aphanizomenon, Microcystis)</i><span>&nbsp;at the lake outlet sites to low densities of non-bloom forming cyanobacteria (</span><i>Synechcoccus, Chroococcus)</i><span>&nbsp;along the Raritan mainstem, with&nbsp;</span><i>Aphanocapsa</i><span>&nbsp;the most notable bloom forming genera overlapping between sites. Investigating cyanobacteria on a watershed-specific basis could enhance understanding of the site-specific transport mechanisms and water chemistry parameters that facilitate community persistence.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Cell Press","doi":"10.1016/j.heliyon.2025.e44230","usgsCitation":"Clonan, K., Wu, M., Heckathorn, H., Desko, H., Ernst, E., Reilly, P.A.,
