Such a gap was previously proposed to explain an abrupt change in megafloral assemblages in the northern Appalachian Basin and by extension across all of North America. Conodont-based correlation from the essentially complete low-shelf Midcontinent succession (distal from the highstand shoreline), through the mid-shelf Illinois Basin, to the high shelf of the Appalachian Basin (proximal to highstand shoreline) demonstrates that all major ∼400&nbsp;kyr cyclothem groupings in the Midcontinent are recognizable in the Illinois Basin. In the Appalachian Basin, however, the grouping at the base of the Missourian is represented only by paleosols and localized coal. The immediately preceding grouping was removed very locally by paleovalley incision, as is evident at the 7–11 Mine, Columbiana County, Ohio, from which the original megafloral data were derived. At the few localities where incised paleodrainage exists, there may be a gap of ∼1000&nbsp;kyr, but a gap of no more than ∼600&nbsp;kyr occurs elsewhere in the Appalachian Basin at that level and its magnitude progressively decreases westward into the Illinois (∼300&nbsp;kyr) and Midcontinent (&lt;200&nbsp;kyr) Basins. Thus, while a gap is present near the Desmoinesian–Missourian boundary in North America, it is typically more than an order of magnitude smaller than that originally proposed and is similar to the gaps inferred at sequence boundaries between cyclothems at many horizons in the Pennsylvanian of North America.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Society for Sedimentary

Results indicate a system with approximately 75% of the LW available for transport either as detached individual LW or as LW in log jams. There were approximately 55 individual LW per river km and another 59 pieces in log jams per river km. Individual LW is a product of bank erosion (73% is produced through erosion) and is isolated on the mid and upper banks at low flow. This LW does not appear to be important for either aquatic habitat or as a human risk. Log jams rest near or at water level making them a factor in bank complexity in an otherwise homogenous fine-grained channel. A segmentation test was performed using LW frequency by river km to detect breaks in longitudinal distribution and to define homogeneous reaches of LWfrequency. Homogeneous reaches were then analyzed to determine their relationship to bank height, channel width/depth, sinuosity, and gradient. Results show that log jams are a product of LW transport and occur more frequently in areas with high snag concentrations, low to intermediate bank heights, high sinuosity, high local LW recruitment rates, and narrow channel widths. The largest concentration of log jams (21.5 log jams/km) occurs in an actively eroding reach. Log jam concentrations downstream of this reach are lower due to a loss of river competency as the channel reaches sea level and the concurrent development of unvegetated mudflats separating the active channel from the floodplain forest. Substantial LW transport occurs on this low-gradient, dam-regulated large river; this study, paired with future research on transport mechanisms should provide resource managers and policymakers with options to better manage aquatic habitat while mitigating possible negative impacts to human interests.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/esp.2135","issn":"01979337","usgsCitation":"Moulin, B., Schenk, E.R., and Hupp, C.R., 2011, Distribution and characterization of in-channel large wood in relation to geomorphic patterns on a low-gradient river: Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, v. 36, no. 9, p. 1137-1151, https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.2135.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"1137","endPage":"1151","costCenters":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":246429,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":218423,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/esp.2135"}],"country":"United States","state":"North Carolina","otherGeospatial":"Roanoke River","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -77.852088,35.807089 ], [ -77.852088,36.536505 ], [ -76.535816,36.536505 ], [ -76.535816,35.807089 ], [ -77.852088,35.807089 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"36","issue":"9","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-03-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a027fe4b0c8380cd5008b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Moulin, Bertrand","contributorId":80160,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Moulin","given":"Bertrand","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":454426,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Schenk, Edward R. 0000-0001-6886-5754 eschenk@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6886-5754","contributorId":2183,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schenk","given":"Edward","email":"eschenk@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":454424,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hupp, Cliff R. 0000-0003-1853-9197 crhupp@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1853-9197","contributorId":2344,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hupp","given":"Cliff","email":"crhupp@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":454425,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Cold-climate deposits and landscape modifications are superimposed on antecedent landscapes of old, weathered Neogene upland gravels and Pleistocene marine terraces that had been built during warm periods and sea-level highstands. In New Jersey, sequences of surficial deposits define a long history of repeating climate change events. To the south across the Delmarva Peninsula and southern Maryland, most antecedent topography has been obscured by Late Pleistocene surficial deposits. These are spatially variable and are collectively described as a cold-climate alloformation. The cold-climate alloformation includes time-transgressive details of climate deterioration from at least marine isotope stage (MIS) 4 through the end of MIS 2. Some deposits and landforms within the alloformation may be as young as the Younger Dryas. Southwards along the trend of the Potomac River, these deposits and their climatic affinities become diffused. In Virginia, a continuum of erosion and surficial deposits appears to be the product of ‘normal’ temperate, climate-forced processes. The cold-climate alloformation and more temperate deposits in Virginia are being partly covered by Holocene alluvium and bay mud.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Geological Society Special Publication","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society, London","publisherLocation":"London, U.K.","doi":"10.1144/SP354.17","issn":"03058719","usgsCitation":"Newell, W.L., and Dejong, B., 2011, Cold-climate slope deposits and landscape modifications of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, Eastern USA: Geological Society Special Publication, v. 354, p. 259-276, https://doi.org/10.1144/SP354.17.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"259","endPage":"276","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":218248,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1144/SP354.17"},{"id":246241,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ 172.5,18.9 ], [ 172.5,71.4 ], [ -66.9,71.4 ], [ -66.9,18.9 ], [ 172.5,18.9 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"354","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-05-18","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5059f7a7e4b0c8380cd4cc2d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Newell, Wayne L. wnewell@usgs.gov","contributorId":99114,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Newell","given":"Wayne","email":"wnewell@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":454512,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dejong, B.D.","contributorId":96126,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dejong","given":"B.D.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":454511,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Although reintroductions, trapping regulations and habitat improvements have led to the reestablishment of river otters in the Midwest, little is known about how their distribution is influenced by local- and landscape-scale habitat. We conducted river otter sign surveys from Jan. to Apr. in 2008 and 2009 in eastern Kansas to assess how local- and landscape-scale habitat factors affect river otter occupancy. We surveyed three to nine 400-m stretches of stream and reservoir shorelines for 110 sites and measured local-scale variables (</span><i>e.g.,</i><span>&nbsp;stream order, land cover types) within a 100&nbsp;m buffer of the survey site and landscape-scale variables (</span><i>e.g.,</i><span>&nbsp;road density, land cover types) for Hydrological Unit Code 14 watersheds. We then used occupancy models that account for the probability of detection to estimate occupancy as a function of these covariates using Program PRESENCE. The best-fitting model indicated river otter occupancy increased with the proportion of woodland cover and decreased with the proportion of cropland and grassland cover at the local scale.

The oldest locally sourced volcanic rocks in the Warner Range are Oligocene (28–24 Ma) and include a sequence of basalt and basaltic andesite lava flows overlain by hornblende and pyroxene andesite pyroclastic flows and minor lava flows. Both sequences vary in thickness (0–2 km) along strike and are inferred to be the erosional remnants of one or more large, partly overlapping composite volcanoes. No volcanic rocks were erupted in the Warner Range between ca. 24 and 16 Ma, although minor distally sourced silicic tuffs were deposited during this time. Arc volcanism resumed ca. 16 Ma with eruption of basalt and basaltic andesite lavas sourced from eruptive centers 5–10 km south of the relict Oligocene centers. Post–16 Ma arc volcanism continued until ca. 8 Ma, forming numerous eroded but well-preserved shield volcanoes to the south of the Warner Range. Oligocene to Late Miocene volcanic rocks in and around the Warner Range are calc-alkaline basalts to andesites (48%–61% SiO<sub>2</sub>) that display negative Ti, Nb, and Ta anomalies in trace element spider diagrams, consistent with an arc setting. Middle Miocene lavas in the Warner Range are distinctly different in age, composition, and eruptive style from the nearby Steens Basalt, with which they were previously correlated. Middle to Late Miocene shield volcanoes south of the Warner Range consist of homogeneous basaltic andesites (53%–57% SiO<sub>2</sub>) that are compositionally similar to Oligocene rocks in the Warner Range. They are distinctly different from younger (Late Miocene to Pliocene) high-Al, low-K olivine tholeiites, which are more mafic (46%–49% SiO<sub>2</sub>), did not build large edifices, and are thought to be related to backarc extension. The Warner Range is ∼100 km east of the axis of the modern arc in northeastern California, suggesting that the Cascade arc south of modern Mount Shasta migrated west during the Late Miocene and Pliocene, while the arc north of Mount Shasta remained in essentially the same position. We interpret these patterns as evidence for an Eocene to Miocene tear in the subducting slab, with a more steeply dipping plate segment to the north, and an initially more gently dipping segment to the south that gradually steepened from the Middle Miocene to the present.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Geosphere","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/GES00650.1","issn":"1553040X","usgsCitation":"Colgan, J., Egger, A., John, D., Cousens, B., Fleck, R., and Henry, C., 2011, Oligocene and Miocene arc volcanism in northeastern California: evidence for post-Eocene segmentation of the subducting Farallon plate: Geosphere, v. 7, no. 3, p. 733-755, https://doi.org/10.1130/GES00650.1.","productDescription":"23 p.","startPage":"733","endPage":"755","costCenters":[{"id":671,"text":"Western Region Geology and Geophysics Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":246503,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":218487,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1130/GES00650.1"}],"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":"7","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a6d5fe4b0c8380cd750db","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Colgan, J.P.","contributorId":71678,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Colgan","given":"J.P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455030,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Egger, A.E.","contributorId":70159,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Egger","given":"A.E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455029,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"John, D.

Unfortunately, up‐to‐date information is scarce, hindering conservation and management efforts.

Introduced congeners likely played a major role in those losses. Although extirpated from some areas,&nbsp;</span><i>Cambarus bartonii bartonii</i><span>&nbsp;remains widespread and is not an immediate conservation concern. In light of these findings, the role of barriers (e.g., dams), environmental protection, educational programs, and regulations in preventing crayfish invasions and conserving native crayfishes is discussed, and management initiatives centered on those factors are presented. The need for methods to eliminate exotics and monitor natives is highlighted. Although tailored to a specific regional fauna, these ideas have broad applicability and would benefit many North American crayfishes.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","doi":"10.1080/03632415.2011.607080","issn":"03632415","usgsCitation":"Lieb, D., Bouchard, R., Carline, R., Nuttall, T., Wallace, J., and Burkholder, C., 2011, Conservation and management of crayfishes: Lessons from Pennsylvania: Fisheries, v. 36, no. 10, p. 489-506, https://doi.org/10.1080/03632415.2011.607080.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"489","endPage":"506","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":246472,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Pennsylvania","otherGeospatial":"Eastern Pennsylvania","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -77.6513671875,\n              41.96765920367816\n            ],\n            [\n              -77.71728515624999,\n              39.639537564366684\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.6298828125,\n              39.7240885773337\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.03662109375,\n              39.977120098439634\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.77294921875,\n              40.27952566881291\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.146484375,\n              40.94671366508002\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.6630859375,\n              41.393294288784865\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.16845703124999,\n              41.983994270935625\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.6298828125,\n              42.08191667830631\n            ],\n            [\n              -77.6513671875,\n              41.96765920367816\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"36","issue":"10","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-10-19","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5059f9d8e4b0c8380cd4d7f6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lieb, D.A.","contributorId":98158,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lieb","given":"D.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455171,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bouchard, R.W.","contributorId":55676,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bouchard","given":"R.W.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455170,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Carline, R.F.","contributorId":107444,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carline","given":"R.F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455173,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Nuttall, T.R.","contributorId":26556,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nuttall","given":"T.R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455168,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Wallace, J.R.","contributorId":35574,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wallace","given":"J.R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455169,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Burkholder, C.L.","contributorId":99412,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Burkholder","given":"C.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455172,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

However, this hypothesis has not been rigorously assessed because of the difficulty of finding large numbers of well-hidden nests in tropical forests. Here we report that in the East Usambara Mountains in Tanzania, which are part of the Eastern Arc Mountains, a global biodiversity hotspot, that daily nest survival rate and nest success for seven of eight common understory bird species that we examined over a single breeding season were significantly lower in fragmented than in continuous forest, with the odds of nest failure for these seven species ranging from 1.9 to 196.8 times higher in fragmented than continuous forest. Cup-shaped nests were particularly vulnerable in fragments. We then examined over six breeding seasons and 14 study sites in a multivariable survival analysis the influence of landscape structure and nest location on daily nest survival for 13 common species representing 1,272 nests and four nest types (plate, cup, dome, and pouch). Across species and nest types, area, distance of nest to edge, and nest height had a dominant influence on daily nest survival, with area being positively related to nest survival and distance of nest to edge and nest height being both positively and negatively associated with daily nest survival. Our results indicate that multiple environmental factors contribute to reduce nest survival within a tropical understory bird community in a fragmented landscape and that maintaining large continuous forest is important for enhancing nest survival for Afrotropical understory birds.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","doi":"10.1073/pnas.1104955108","issn":"00278424","usgsCitation":"Newmark, W., and Stanley, T., 2011, Habitat fragmentation reduces nest survival in an Afrotropical bird community in a biodiversity hotspot: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, v. 108, no. 28, p. 11488-11493, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1104955108.","startPage":"11488","endPage":"11493","numberOfPages":"6","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":475270,"rank":10000,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1104955108","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":218521,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1104955108"},{"id":246541,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"108","issue":"28","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a2f0ee4b0c8380cd5ca4e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Newmark, W.D.","contributorId":100644,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Newmark","given":"W.D.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455189,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Stanley, T.R.","contributorId":61379,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stanley","given":"T.R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455188,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The province constitutes a significant part of a displaced continental fragment, the Arctic Alaska microplate, that was probably rifted from the Canadian Arctic margin during formation of the Canada Basin. Petroleum prospective rocks in the province, mostly Mississippian and younger, record a sequential geological evolution through passive margin, rift and foreland basin tectonic stages. Significant petroleum source and reservoir rocks were formed during each tectonic stage but it was the foreland basin stage that provided the necessary burial heating to generate petroleum from the source rocks. The lion's share of known petroleum resources in the province occur in combination structural–stratigraphic traps formed as a consequence of rifting and located along the rift shoulder. Since the discovery of the super-giant Prudhoe Bay accumulation in one of these traps in the late 1960s, exploration activity preferentially focused on these types of traps. More recent activity, however, has emphasized the potential for stratigraphic traps and the prospect of a natural gas pipeline in this region has spurred renewed interest in structural traps. For assessment purposes, the province is divided into a Platform assessment unit (AU), comprising the Beaufort Rift shoulder and its relatively undeformed flanks, and a Fold-and-Thrust Belt AU, comprising the deformed area north of the Brooks Range and Herald Arch tectonic belt. Mean estimates of undiscovered, technically recoverable resources include nearly 28 billion barrels of oil (BBO) and 122 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of nonassociated gas in the Platform AU and 2 BBO and 59 TCF of nonassociated gas in the Fold-and-Thrust Belt AU.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The Geological Society of London","doi":"10.1144/M35.32","issn":"04354052","usgsCitation":"Bird, K.J., and Houseknecht, D.W., 2011, Geology and petroleum potential of the Arctic Alaska petroleum province: Geological Society Memoir, no. 35, p. 485-499, https://doi.org/10.1144/M35.32.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"485","endPage":"499","costCenters":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":255,"text":"Energy Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":246572,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":218551,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1144/M35.32"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Arctic Alaska Province","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -166.55273437499997,\n              68.13885164925573\n            ],\n            [\n              -162.59765625,\n              68.26938680456564\n            ],\n            [\n              -159.169921875,\n              68.8159271333607\n            ],\n            [\n              -151.34765625,\n              69.03714171275197\n            ],\n            [\n              -138.955078125,\n              68.43151284537514\n            ],\n            [\n              -138.427734375,\n              69.68761843185617\n            ],\n            [\n              -146.162109375,\n              71.07405646336098\n            ],\n            [\n              -154.072265625,\n              72.01972876525514\n            ],\n            [\n              -162.59765625,\n              72.39570570653261\n            ],\n            [\n              -169.365234375,\n              72.04683989379397\n            ],\n            [\n              -169.45312499999997,\n              68.75231494434473\n            ],\n            [\n              -167.607421875,\n              67.7760253890732\n            ],\n            [\n              -166.55273437499997,\n              68.13885164925573\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","issue":"35","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-08-05","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5059f46ae4b0c8380cd4bd03","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bird, Kenneth J. kbird@usgs.gov","contributorId":1015,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bird","given":"Kenneth","email":"kbird@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":255,"text":"Energy Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":455201,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Houseknecht, David W. 0000-0002-9633-6910 dhouse@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9633-6910","contributorId":645,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Houseknecht","given":"David","email":"dhouse@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":455200,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

OSL ages of historical inlet fill compare favorably to historical documentation of inlet activity, providing confidence in the technique. Comparison suggests that the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and Little Ice Age (LIA) were both characterized by elevated storm conditions as indicated by much greater inlet activity relative to today. Given present understanding of atmospheric circulation patterns and sea-surface temperatures during the MWP and LIA, we suggest that increased inlet activity during the MWP responded to intensified hurricane impacts, while elevated inlet activity during the LIA was in response to increased nor'easter activity.

The latter transfers streamflow information from a hydrologically similar, continuously gaged basin ('index streamgage') to one with a very limited streamflow record, but often results in biased estimates. The application of the index-streamgage approach can be generalized into three steps: (1) selection of streamflow information of interest, (2) definition of hydrologic similarity and selection of index streamgage, and (3) application of an information-transfer approach. Here, we explore the effects of (1) the range of streamflow values, (2) the areal density of streamgages, and (3) index-streamgage selection criteria on the bias of three information-transfer approaches on estimates of the 7-day, 10-year minimum streamflow (Q<sub>7, 10</sub>). The three information-transfer approaches considered are maintenance of variance extension, base-flow correlation, and ratio of measured to concurrent gaged streamflow (Q-ratio invariance). Our results for 1120 streamgages throughout the United States suggest that only a small portion of the total bias in estimated streamflow values is explained by the areal density of the streamgages and the hydrologic similarity between the two basins. However, restricting the range of streamflow values used in the index-streamgage approach reduces the bias of estimated Q<sub>7, 10</sub> values substantially. Importantly, estimated Q<sub>7, 10</sub> values are heavily biased when the observed Q<sub>7, 10</sub> values are near zero. Results of the analysis also showed that Q<sub>7, 10</sub> estimates from two of the three index-streamgage approaches have lower root-mean-square error values than estimates derived from multiple regressions for the large regions considered in this study.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Hydrological Processes","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/hyp.7976","issn":"08856087","usgsCitation":"Eng, K., Kiang, J., Chen, Y., Carlisle, D., and Granato, G., 2011, Causes of systematic over- or underestimation of low streamflows by use of index-streamgage approaches in the United States: Hydrological Processes, v. 25, no. 14, p. 2211-2220, https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.7976.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"2211","endPage":"2220","costCenters":[{"id":437,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":246377,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":218375,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/hyp.7976"}],"country":"United States","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ 172.5,19.0 ], [ 172.5,71.4 ], [ -70.0,71.4 ], [ -70.0,19.0 ], [ 172.5,19.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"25","issue":"14","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-02-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5059f3d6e4b0c8380cd4b9c5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Eng, K.","contributorId":51063,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Eng","given":"K.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455871,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kiang, J.E.","contributorId":101058,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kiang","given":"J.E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455875,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Chen, Y.-Y.","contributorId":52018,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chen","given":"Y.-Y.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455872,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Carlisle, D.M.","contributorId":81059,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carlisle","given":"D.M.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455874,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Granato, G.E.","contributorId":61457,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Granato","given":"G.E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455873,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Under these circumstances, the usual approach is to base the assessment on well productivity through estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). Unconventional resource assessments that consider uncertainty are typically done by applying analytical procedures based on classical statistics theory that ignores geographical location, does not take into account spatial correlation, and assumes independence of EUR from other variables that may enter into the modeling. We formulate a new, more comprehensive approach based on sequential simulation to test methodologies known to be capable of more fully utilizing the data and overcoming unrealistic simplifications. Theoretical requirements demand modeling of EUR as areal density instead of well EUR. The new experimental methodology is illustrated by evaluating a gas play in the Woodford Shale in the Arkoma Basin of Oklahoma. Differently from previous assessments, we used net thickness and vitrinite reflectance as secondary variables correlated to cell EUR. In addition to the traditional probability distribution for undiscovered resources, the new methodology provides maps of EUR density and maps with probabilities to reach any given cell EUR, which are useful to visualize geographical variations in prospectivity.</p>","language":"English, Spanish","issn":"03660176","usgsCitation":"Olea, R., Houseknecht, D., Garrity, C., and Cook, T.A., 2011, Formulation of a correlated variables methodology for assessment of continuous gas resources with an application to the Woodford play, Arkoma Basin, eastern Oklahoma: Boletin Geologico y Minero, v. 122, no. 4, p. 483-496.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"483","endPage":"496","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-024393","costCenters":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":246409,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Oklahoma","otherGeospatial":"Arkoma Basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -94.48688507080078,\n              35.23664622093195\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.43744659423828,\n              35.23664622093195\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.43744659423828,\n              35.35881619143943\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.48688507080078,\n              35.35881619143943\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.48688507080078,\n              35.23664622093195\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"122","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a135ce4b0c8380cd5462c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Olea, Ricardo A. 0000-0003-4308-0808","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4308-0808","contributorId":26436,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Olea","given":"Ricardo A.","affiliations":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":455877,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Houseknecht, D.W. 0000-0002-9633-6910","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9633-6910","contributorId":33695,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Houseknecht","given":"D.W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455878,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Garrity, C.P. 0000-0002-5565-1818","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5565-1818","contributorId":10021,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Garrity","given":"C.P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":455876,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Cook, T.

While some storm systems had a negligible influence on ambient monoterpene mixing ratios, the average storm event increased mixing ratios by 0.59 ± 0.21 ppbv, a factor of 93% above pre-storm levels.

At least three different tectonic settings have been proposed for McCoy deposition, and multiple tectonic settings are likely over the ∼80 m.y. age range of deposition. U-Pb isotopic analysis of 396 zircon sand grains from at or near the top of McCoy sections in the southern Little Harquahala, Granite Wash, New Water, and southern Plomosa Mountains, all in western Arizona, identified only Jurassic or older zircons. A basaltic lava flow near the top of the section in the New Water Mountains yielded a U-Pb zircon date of 154.4 ± 2.1 Ma. Geochemically similar lava flows and sills in the Granite Wash and southern Plomosa Mountains are inferred to be approximately the same age. We interpret these new analyses to indicate that Mesozoic clastic strata in these areas are Upper Jurassic and are broadly correlative with the lowermost McCoy Mountains Formation in the Dome Rock, McCoy, and Palen Mountains farther west. Six samples of numerous Upper Jurassic basaltic sills and lava flows in the McCoy Mountains Formation in the Granite Wash, New Water, and southern Plomosa Mountains yielded initial ε</span><sub>Nd</sub><span>&nbsp;values (at t = 150 Ma) of between +4 and +6. The geochemistry and geochronology of this igneous suite, and detrital-zircon geochronology of the sandstones, support the interpretation that the lower McCoy Mountains Formation was deposited during rifting within the western extension of the Sabinas-Chihuahua-Bisbee rift belt. Abundant 190–240 Ma zircon sand grains were derived from nearby, unidentified Triassic magmatic-arc rocks in areas that were unaffected by younger Jurassic magmatism. A sandstone from the upper McCoy Mountains Formation in the Dome Rock Mountains (Arizona) yielded numerous 80–108 Ma zircon grains and almost no 190–240 Ma grains, revealing a major reorganization in sediment-dispersal pathways and/or modification of source rocks that had occurred by ca. 80 Ma.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/B30206.1","issn":"00167606","usgsCitation":"Spencer, J., Richard, S., Gehrels, G.E., Gleason, J., and Dickinson, W., 2011, Age and tectonic setting of the Mesozoic McCoy Mountains Formation in western Arizona, USA: Geological Society of America Bulletin, v. 123, no. 7-8, p. 1258-1274, https://doi.org/10.1130/B30206.1.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"1258","endPage":"1274","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":246131,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":218146,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1130/B30224.1"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","otherGeospatial":"McCoy Mountains","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -115.13671875,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.0712890625,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.0712890625,\n              34.05265942137599\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.13671875,\n              34.05265942137599\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.13671875,\n              33.17434155100208\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"123","issue":"7-8","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-01-26","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5059e8e3e4b0c8380cd47f4f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Spencer, J.E.","contributorId":91542,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Spencer","given":"J.E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":456169,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Richard, S.M.","contributorId":20376,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Richard","given":"S.M.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":456166,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gehrels, G.

We examined factors that influence use of cornfields by cranes and geese (all mid‐continent species combined; e.g.,&nbsp;</span><i>Anser</i><span>,&nbsp;</span><i>Chen</i><span>, and&nbsp;</span><i>Branta</i><span>&nbsp;spp.) because it is a key step to efficient conservation planning aimed at ensuring that adequate food resources are available to migratory birds stopping in the CPRV. Distance to night‐time roost site, segment of the CPRV (west to east), and agricultural practices (post‐harvest treatment of cornfields: idle, grazed, mulched, mulched and grazed, and tilled) were the most important and influential variables in our models for geese and cranes. Probability of cornfield use by geese and cranes decreased with increasing distance from the closest potential roosting site. The use of cornfields by geese increased with the density of corn present there during the early migration period, but field use by cranes appeared not to be influenced by early migration corn density. However, probability of cornfield use by cranes did increase with the amount of wet grassland habitat within 4.8 km of the field. Geese were most likely to use fields that were tilled and least likely to use fields that were mulched and grazed. Cranes were most likely to use fields that were mulched and least likely to use fields that were tilled, but grazing appeared not to influence the likelihood of field use by cranes. Geese were more likely to use cornfields in western segments of the CPRV, but cranes were more likely to use cornfields in eastern segments.

Excepting the large Emmons and Winthrop Glaciers, all of Mount Rainier's glaciers thinned and retreated in their terminal regions, with substantial thinning mainly at elevations <2000 m and the greatest thinning on southfacing glaciers. Mount Rainier's glaciers and snowfields also lost volume over the interval, excepting the east-flank Fryingpan and Emmons Glaciers and minor near-summit snowfields; maximum volume losses were centered from ~1750 m (north flank) to ~2250 m (south fl ank) elevation. The greatest single volume loss was from the Carbon Glacier, despite its northward aspect, due to its sizeable area at <2000 m elevation. Overall, Mount Rainier lost ~14 vol% glacial ice and perennial snow over the 37 to 38 yr interval between surveys. Enhanced thinning of south-flank glaciers may be meltback from the high snowfall period of the mid-1940s to mid-1970s associated with the cool phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Geology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","publisherLocation":"Boulder, CO","doi":"10.1130/G31902.1","isbn":"00917613","usgsCitation":"Sisson, T.W., Robinson, J., and Swinney, D., 2011, Whole-edifice ice volume change A.D. 1970 to 2007/2008 at Mount Rainier, Washington, based on LiDAR surveying: Geology, v. 39, no. 7, p. 639-642, https://doi.org/10.1130/G31902.1.","productDescription":"4 p.","startPage":"639","endPage":"642","numberOfPages":"4","costCenters":[{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":218439,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1130/G31902.1"},{"id":246449,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","otherGeospatial":"Mount Rainier","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -121.876709,46.787719 ], [ -121.876709,46.939905 ], [ -121.638906,46.939905 ], [ -121.638906,46.787719 ], [ -121.876709,46.787719 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"39","issue":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505bd089e4b08c986b32eef4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sisson, T.

We used sibship reconstruction to infer mating systems, dispersal and effective population size of resident (non-anadromous) brook trout in two headwater stream channel networks in Connecticut. Brook trout were captured via backpack electrofishing using spatially continuous sampling in the two headwaters (channel network lengths of 4.4 and 7.7&nbsp;km). Eight microsatellite loci were genotyped in a total of 740 individuals (80&ndash;140&nbsp;mm) subsampled in a stratified random design from all 50&nbsp;m-reaches in which trout were captured. Sibship reconstruction indicated that males and females were both mostly polygamous although single pair matings were also inferred. Breeder sex ratio was inferred to be nearly 1:1. Few large-sized fullsib families (&gt;3 individuals) were inferred and the majority of individuals were inferred to have no fullsibs among those fish genotyped (family size&nbsp;=&nbsp;1). The median stream channel distance between pairs of individuals belonging to the same large-sized fullsib families (&gt;3 individuals) was 100&nbsp;m (range: 0&ndash;1,850&nbsp;m) and 250&nbsp;m (range: 0&ndash;2,350&nbsp;m) in the two study sites, indicating limited dispersal at least for the size class of individuals analyzed. Using a sibship assignment method, the effective population size for the two streams was estimated at 91 (95%CI: 67&ndash;123) and 210 (95%CI: 172&ndash;259), corresponding to the ratio of effective-to-census population size of 0.06 and 0.12, respectively.

Magnetic surveys were measured at a nominal altitude of 250 m above terrain and along flight lines spaced 400 m apart. Upper crustal rocks in this region have diverse magnetic properties, ranging from highly magnetic rocks of the Miocene Columbia River Basalt Group to weakly magnetic sedimentary rocks of various ages. These distinctive magnetic properties permit mapping of important faults and folds from exposures to covered areas. Magnetic lineaments correspond with mapped Quaternary faults and with scarps identified in lidar (light detection and ranging) topographic data and aerial photography. A two-dimensional model of the northwest striking Umtanum Ridge fault zone, based on magnetic and gravity data and constrained by geologic mapping and three deep wells, suggests that thrust faults extend through the Tertiary section and into underlying pre-Tertiary basement. Excavation of two trenches across a prominent scarp at the base of Umtanum Ridge uncovered evidence for bending moment faulting possibly caused by a blind thrust. Using aeromagnetic, gravity, and paleoseismic evidence, we postulate possible tectonic connections between the YFTB in eastern Washington and active faults of the Puget Lowland. We suggest that faults and folds of Umtanum Ridge extend northwestward through the Cascade Range and merge with the Southern Whidbey Island and Seattle faults near Snoqualmie Pass 35 km east of Seattle. Recent earthquakes (M<sub>W</sub> ≤ 5.3) suggest that this confluence of faults may be seismically active today.","language":"English","publisher":"AGU","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.1029/2010JB008091","issn":"01480227","usgsCitation":"Blakely, R., Sherrod, B., Weaver, C., Wells, R., Rohay, A., Barnett, E.A., and Knepprath, N., 2011, Connecting the Yakima fold and thrust belt to active faults in the Puget Lowland, Washington: Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth, v. 116, no.
