A database of spatial footprints and characteristics of three-dimensional geological models that were constructed by the U.S. Geological Survey between 2004 and 2022 was compiled as part of ongoing development of subsurface geologic information by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. This initial inventory resulted in the compilation of 38 three-dimensional geological models that vary widely in their spatial extent, the type and purpose of the model, the number of subsurface units characterized by the model, and the software platforms used to create the model. This Data Report provides the scientific rationale and explanation of the contents of a companion USGS digital data release of spatial data and attributes associated with each three-dimensional model.

Three-dimensional (3D) geologic and temperature models have been developed for the onshore U.S. Gulf Coast. The results from these models identify areas of moderate- to high-temperature (90°-150°C and >150°C; respectively) geothermal resources at depths <6 km. This modeling study addresses the fundamental challenge of predicting where opportune temperature and lithology coincide. Unlike traditional geothermal systems with surface expressions of hydrothermal circulation (e.g., hot springs, fumaroles, sinter), sedimentary geothermal systems (SGS) are generally hidden. Historically, simplified efforts to predict subsurface temperatures in sedimentary basins have focused on linear temperature extrapolation that does not consider the variable thermal properties of different lithologies or lithologic changes with depth (e.g., compaction, lithification). Therefore, the need to understand basin architecture and predict temperatures in 3D within SGS is paramount to identifying geothermal resources and determining economic feasibility. Basin modeling software has long been used to characterize the subsurface conditions of sedimentary basins, including temperature, in the pursuit of finding hydrocarbons. This tool can also be adapted to evaluate the potential of geothermal resources in a sedimentary basin by predicting the confluence of desirable temperatures and reservoir lithologies. In this work, PetroMod basin modeling software was used to create a regional geologic model of the onshore U.S. Gulf Coast, covering over 500,000 km2 calibrated to temperature data from wells. Inputs include structural surfaces from commercial databases, lithology information derived from published literature, and corrected bottom-hole temperatures (BHT) from over 6,000 wells. The resulting 3D geologic model can be used to predict temperatures throughout the basin. Maps were exported showing the depth, depositional unit, and reservoir lithology at which temperatures of 90°C and 150°C were reached, revealing over 400,000 km2 of moderate- to high-temperature resources at depths <6 km. These maps function as a first-order screening tool to identify areas where low-, moderate-, or high-grade resource potential may exist, based on temperature and if optimal reservoir lithologies or depositional units of interest are present. Depending on the success criteria of a project, the same maps can be exported for any isotherm or incorporate other 1407 Gardner and Birdwell subsurface properties. The methodology employed in this work can be applied in any sedimentary basin with available subsurface data. Further calibration incorporating other data, including pressure and porosity, can expand the utility of basin modeling for geothermal evaluations. Basin modeling is a powerful but underutilized tool for identifying prospective geothermal resources in sedimentary basins.

Progress in understanding volcanism has been remarkable in the short 60-year span of the Space Age. Before Sputnik 1 in 1957, the lunar farside was unknown, the origin of the dark lunar maria was debated (sedimentary or volcanic), and significant controversy surrounded the question of how the multitude of craters on the surface formed. Was the Moon formed hot or cold, was the lunar surface young or old, were the craters of impact or volcanic origin? A lunar farside deficient in the darker maria was revealed by Luna 3 in 1959 (Lipsky 1965a,b). The Ranger, Lunar Orbiter, Surveyor, Luna and Zond missions significantly augmented pre-Sputnik telescopic observations and began to reveal the diversity of lunar geologic landforms. Return of lunar soil and rock samples from the lunar surface by Apollo (11–12, 14–17) (Compton 1989) and Luna (16, 20, 24) missions (Harvey 2007a,b; Huntress and Marov 2011) changed the debates overnight (Hinners 1971; Taylor 1975). The lunar rocks were igneous and extremely ancient, all from the first half of Solar System history; the oldest, highland anorthosites, were overlain by relatively younger, but still extremely old, extrusive basalts forming the maria.
The Great Lakes Tectonic Zone (GLTZ) forms the boundary between the Wawa-Abitibi subprovince (north side) and Minnesota River Valley subprovince (south side) within the Archean Superior Province. The GLTZ is concealed for all of its 1100 km length, except south of Marquette in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Sims, 1991; Sims and Day, 1993). Near KI Sawyer, it is exposed as a NW-striking, 2.3 km wide mylonite zone along a strike length of about 11 km, with a mylonitic foliation that dips steeply to the SW (Sims, 1993). The location extent of the GLTZ is unknown to the east where it is concealed beneath Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. We use legacy aeromagnetic data (Daniels et al., 2009) in combination with modern aeromagnetic data (Drenth and Brown, 2020) and ground gravity data to geophysically characterize the GLTZ and map its eastward extent under cover and map additional nearby covered Precambrian tectonic elements.

Nearshore mean biomass was 18.3 kg per ha which was the second highest biomass estimate over the survey’s 46-year history. Offshore bottom trawls collected 15,458 fish from 10 species or morphotypes. Offshore mean biomass was 5.2 kg per ha, which was less than the annual average of 6.3 kg per ha. Recruitment, as measured by age-1 densities, was the highest recorded for Bloater, Cisco, and Rainbow Smelt in the nearshore and for Kiyi in the offshore survey’s period-of-records. Lakewide average densities (fish per ha) of age-1 fish were 140 for Bloater, 1,019 for Cisco, 616 for Rainbow Smelt, and 54 for Kiyi, which were the highest estimates for the survey’s period-of-record. Period-of-record averages for these species were 10, 67, and 9 age-1 fish per ha, respectively. Age-1 Lake Whitefish averaged 9 fish per ha which was similar to the long-term average of 8 age-1 Lake Whitefish per ha. If the future can be predicted by past large Bloater, Cisco, and Kiyi (collectively, ciscoe) year-class events, the unprecedented survival of the 2022 ciscoe yearclass will influence the Lake Superior ecosystem for the next 10 to 20-years.

ca. 2737 Ma (Souders, 2023) Mentor anorthosite intrusive complex (MAIC) lies near the northern margin of the Wawa subprovince of the Archean Superior Province, in an area of northwestern Minnesota where the Wawa, Quetico, and Wabigoon subprovinces are juxtaposed in close proximity (Fig. 1). The rocks of interest are entirely concealed by 10s to >100 m of unconsolidated Quaternary sediments and localized Cretaceous strata and saprolite. The MAIC comprises a large volume of megacrystic anorthosite, with a lesser volume of oxide-rich gabbros. The gabbros are known, from a single borehole intersection at ~70 m depth, to be enriched in vanadium (see http://minarchive.dnr.state.mn.us), and have further potential for chromium and titanium mineralization. New interpretations are based on data from an Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (MRI)-sponsored aeromagnetic survey flown in 2021 and pre-existing ground gravity data, constrained by approximately ten boreholes in the area.

The workflow incorporates decision points for creating finer scale spatial data for the principal aquifers and refining the original principal aquifer definitions if warranted. This workflow was applied to four principal aquifers in the upper Midwest region of the United States that were not previously refined as part of a U.S. Geological Survey regional groundwater availability study: the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system, the Jacobsville aquifer, the Silurian-Devonian aquifer, and the upper carbonate aquifer. The refinement resulted in the consolidation of two of these aquifers (the Silurian-Devonian and upper carbonate aquifers), an expansion of the Jacobsville aquifer into a larger newly defined Midcontinent Rift sandstone aquifers unit, and a slight refinement of the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system to exclude Precambrian units. The U.S. Geological Survey State Geologic Map Compilation geodatabase provided the base data used in the refined version 2 dataset, which are published in an accompanying U.S. Geological Survey data release as a prototype version 2 shapefile and include attributes describing the aquifer, data lineage, and source of the originally defined principal aquifer.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20231078","programNote":"Water Availability and Use Science Program","usgsCitation":"Nielsen, M.G., 2023, Documentation of a pilot workflow for reanalyzing the U.S. Geological Survey principal aquifers datasets and prototype principal aquifer version 2 dataset for three aquifer systems: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2023–1078, 23 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20231078.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 23 p.; Data Release","numberOfPages":"32","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-142146","costCenters":[{"id":37947,"text":"Upper Midwest Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":500153,"rank":8,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_115642.htm","text":"Pre-Cambrian and lower Paleozoic aquifer systems, upper mid-west, US."},{"id":500152,"rank":7,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_115641.htm","text":"Contiguous United States"},{"id":423101,"rank":6,"type":{"id":39,"text":"HTML Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20231078/full"},{"id":423100,"rank":5,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P9PF3PSM","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Prototype updated principal aquifer datasets for three aquifer systems in the Upper Midwest, USA"},{"id":423099,"rank":4,"type":{"id":34,"text":"Image Folder"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2023/1078/images/"},{"id":423098,"rank":3,"type":{"id":31,"text":"Publication XML"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2023/1078/ofr20231078.XML"},{"id":423097,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2023/1078/ofr20231078.pdf","text":"Report","size":"14.2 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2023–1078"},{"id":423096,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2023/1078/coverthb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -89.7305859564595,\n 35.22068769740886\n ],\n [\n -83.69485342904211,\n 39.32676189210625\n ],\n [\n -82.43609088688153,\n 43.576327709341456\n ],\n [\n -83.98279835997307,\n 46.28057130333451\n ],\n [\n -87.90194001961994,\n 48.2723026998373\n ],\n [\n -89.88542930731663,\n 47.961488287177445\n ],\n [\n -93.34876958344479,\n 47.330935123186606\n ],\n [\n -94.69038320347006,\n 43.86819196616244\n ],\n [\n -93.23439439792311,\n 38.975215510546434\n ],\n [\n -89.77908047690332,\n 37.73301765122889\n ],\n [\n -89.7305859564595,\n 35.22068769740886\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","contact":"Director, Upper Midwest Water Science Center

Considerable effort is directed toward its recovery by striving to remove threats. In this report, we describe the development of a population viability analysis for right whales that is designed to assess the current status, evaluate the contributions of various threats, and explore the management interventions needed to achieve recovery. The individual-based model that underlies this analysis accounts for age- and stagespecific survival and reproductive rates, the effects of severe injury from entanglement or vessel strike, and future changes in prey availability and accessibility. Several new or updated empirical analyses supplied parameter estimates, and parametric uncertainty was carefully incorporated into the model results.
We find that under the status quo conditions of 2019, prior to the enactment of new regulations by the U.S. and Canada after 2020, the North Atlantic right whale population would be expected to continue to fall, with a median decline of 75% in 100 years (95% projection interval, –98% to +9% change) and a probability of falling below 50 proven females of 0.934 in 100 years. If the recently enacted regulations reduce entanglement risk by 25%, however, the population would be expected to decrease by 42% over 100 years (95% projection interval –92% to +154% change), with a risk of falling below 50 proven females in 100 years of 0.705. If, instead, the recently enacted regulations reduce entanglement risk by 50%, the population would be expected to increase by 52% in 100 years (95% projection interval –83% to +497% change), with a probability of falling below 50 proven females of 0.349.
Of the 3 primary threats explored in this analysis, the risk of entanglement contributes the most to the long-term risk of quasi-extinction, followed closely by the risk of vessel strike, and much more distantly by a decrease in prey availability. In hypothetical scenarios that fully remove one threat at a time, removal of the entanglement threat alone reduces the probability of falling below 50 proven females in 100 years from 0.934 to 0.053; removal of the vessel strike threat alone reduces it to 0.343; and a return to higher prey conditions, but with both human-related threats still in place, reduces it to 0.875.
We explored a wide range of management intervention scenarios that changed the rate of entanglement risk (e.g., endline reductions, closures, implementation of ropeless/on-demand gear); the effect of entanglement (through use of weak rope technology); the rate of vessel traffic increase over time; and the severity of vessel strike risk through speed restrictions. We found, for example, that reducing entanglement risk alone by 25% reduces the risk of quasi-extinction from 0.934 to 0.705; reducing vessel strike risk alone by 25% reduces the risk of quasi-extinction from 0.934 to 0.846; but the combination of reducing both entanglement risk and vessel strike risk by 25% reduces the risk of quasi-extinction to 0.528.
This model and the results it produced are meant to represent an assessment of the current status of North Atlantic right whales using the best available scientific and commercial data and state-of-the-art analytical tools. Our knowledge of the future of the right whale population, however, has limitations. We have endeavored to fully incorporate uncertainty into this model, but there are many areas for continued improvement. We view this model as a living tool that can be improved, adapted, and extended as new data, new methods, and new questions arise.

We created a sinkhole inventory in the karst region of northwest Puerto Rico using a lidar-derived elevation model acquired in 2018 approximately eleven months after Hurricane Maria. The goal of this project is to develop a geodatabase of sinkhole feature classes (polygons and points), relevant geometric attributes of each feature, and a density raster to portray areas of greater clustering of sinkholes as an input for future sinkhole susceptibility assessment. We used ArcGIS Pro® v3.0 to create closed depression polygons using two semi-automated extraction methods. A fill-difference method was used to capture depressions nine square meters and larger, and a contour tree method was used to capture nested depressions larger than one hundred square meters. Quality checks were conducted to eliminate non-karst depressions, such as human-made depressions and those resulting as artifacts from the automated methods. Geospatial data of land cover, soils, and geology helped to refine the results and improve quality control. The most challenging aspect of this effort was determining a true karst sinkhole from other depressions extracted from the lidar-derived elevation model. Limitations of this semi-automated method include false-positive depressions in the automated results and the exclusion of sinkholes in conducting large-scale eliminations based on landscape attributes. We approached this challenge by combining layers of other geospatial information to evaluate the type of process that could result in a closed depression. This project will help develop an efficient method to visualize karst hazards utilizing lidar-derived elevation models and sinkhole geomorphic expressions. The resulting geodatabase can be used to efficiently identify sinkhole susceptibility and support land management decision-making in karst areas.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the 17th multidisciplinary conference on sinkholes and the engineering and environmental impacts of karst","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"language":"English","publisher":"National Cave and Karst Research Institute","usgsCitation":"Smith, L., Doctor, D.H., and Cox, C., 2023, Mapping closed depressions in the karst region of northwest Puerto Rico using lidar-derived elevation data obtained in 2018 after Hurricane Maria, in Proceedings of the 17th multidisciplinary conference on sinkholes and the engineering and environmental impacts of karst, v. 17, p. 239-248.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"239","endPage":"248","ipdsId":"IP-148086","costCenters":[{"id":40020,"text":"Florence Bascom Geoscience Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":486487,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/sinkhole_2022/ProceedingswithProgram/"},{"id":486498,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Puerto Rico","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -67.30291697689199,\n 18.559923243339426\n ],\n [\n -67.30291697689199,\n 18.330982046375794\n ],\n [\n -66.86489408952299,\n 18.228131112250153\n ],\n [\n -66.11901997545601,\n 18.330982046375794\n ],\n [\n -66.11901997545601,\n 18.559923243339426\n ],\n [\n -67.30291697689199,\n 18.559923243339426\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","volume":"17","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smith, Lillian G.","contributorId":355868,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Smith","given":"Lillian G.","affiliations":[{"id":36213,"text":"University of Redlands","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":938308,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Doctor, Daniel H. 0000-0002-8338-9722 dhdoctor@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8338-9722","contributorId":2037,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Doctor","given":"Daniel","email":"dhdoctor@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":40020,"text":"Florence Bascom Geoscience Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":243,"text":"Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":938309,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Cox, Cheyenne L.","contributorId":355869,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cox","given":"Cheyenne L.","affiliations":[{"id":24583,"text":"former USGS employee","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":938310,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}} ,{"id":70250237,"text":"70250237 - 2023 - Yellowstone River Compact Commission seventy-first annual report 2022","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2026-02-03T15:10:40.474823","indexId":"70250237","displayToPublicDate":"2023-12-01T09:05:09","publicationYear":"2023","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":1,"text":"Federal Government Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":5883,"text":"Cooperator Report","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":1}},"title":"Yellowstone River Compact Commission seventy-first annual report 2022","docAbstract":"No abstract available.

We conducted a mark-recapture-resight investigation to estimate the passage population of Red Knots at Delaware Bay in 2023. We used a Bayesian analysis of a Jolly-Seber model, which accounts for turnover in the population and the probability of detection during surveys. The 2023 passage population size was estimated at 39,361 (95% credible interval: 33,724–47,556). Although there is broad overlap in the credible intervals for population estimates from 2020–2023, the population estimate for 2023 was below 40,000 birds for only the second time since 2011. Horseshoe crabs have been harvested for use as bait in eel (Anguilla rostrata) and whelk (Busycon) fisheries since at least 1990. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the number of Red Knots counted during aerial surveys at Delaware Bay declined from ~50,000 to ~13,000 and some avian conservation biologists hypothesized that horseshoe crab harvest levels in the 1990s prevented sufficient refueling for successful migration to the Arctic breeding grounds, reproduction, and survival for the remainder of the annual cycle. Since 2013, the harvest of horseshoe crabs in the Delaware Bay region has been managed using an Adaptive Resource Management (ARM) framework. The objective of the ARM framework is to manage sustainable harvest of Delaware Bay horseshoe crabs while maintaining ecosystem integrity and supporting Red Knot recovery with adequate stopover habitat for Red Knots and other migrating shorebirds. For annual harvest recommendations, the ARM framework requires annual estimates of horseshoe crab population size and the Red Knot stopover population size. The 2023 population size estimate will inform harvest recommendations in the next management cycle for decision making by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission.

In remote and climatically complex regions, the limited number of available downscaled projections may not provide an accurate representation of the underlying uncertainty in future climate or the possible range of potential scenarios. Consequently, global downscaled projections are now some of the most widely used climate datasets in the world. However, they are rarely examined for representativeness of local climate or the plausibility of their projected changes. Here we explore the utility of two such global datasets (CHELSA and WorldClim2) in providing plausible future climate scenarios for regional climate change impact studies. Our analysis was based on three steps: (1) standardizing a baseline period to compare available global downscaled projections with regional observation-based datasets and regional downscaled datasets; (2) bias correcting projections using a single observation-based baseline; and (3) having controlled differences in baselines between datasets, exploring the patterns and magnitude of projected climate shifts from these datasets to determine their plausibility as future climate scenarios, using Hawaiʻi as an example region. Focusing on mean annual temperature and precipitation, we show projected climate shifts from these commonly used global datasets not only may vary significantly from one another but may also fall well outside the range of future scenarios derived from regional downscaling efforts. As species distribution models are commonly created from these datasets, we further illustrate how a substantial portion of variability in future species distribution shifts can arise from the choice of global dataset used. Hence, projected shifts between baseline and future scenarios from these global downscaled projections warrant careful evaluation before use in climate impact studies, something rarely done in the existing literature.
This map of fractures, scarps, faults, and landslides was completed to identify areas in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve that may present a landslide-generated tsunami hazard. To address the potential of landslide and tsunami hazards in the park, the National Park Service (NPS) and the US Geological Survey (USGS) partnered to conduct a multi-year hazard assessment of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. To produce the map described in this report, we used the newly acquired (2019-2020) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) 0.5 to 1.0 m digital elevation models (DEMs) that cover all the coastal areas of the park and extend up to the ridgetops in places with steep slopes. A bare earth DEM was used to identify and map areas of incipient landslides (i.e., fractures and scarps), fault scarps, and areas where landslides have clearly occurred in the past (i.e., areas where scars and deposits are clearly visible). This map provides a baseline data set that can be used to aid forecasts of where landslides are most likely to occur in the future.

Translocation can produce unique challenges to monitoring efforts; therefore, it is important to understand the flexibility and robustness of commonly used monitoring methods. In Florida, USA, thousands of gopher tortoises Gopherus polyphemus have been, and continue to be, translocated from development sites to permitted recipient sites. These recipient sites create a broad range of potential monitoring scenarios due to variability in soft-release strategies, habitat conditions, and population demographics. Line transect distance sampling is an effective method for monitoring natural tortoise populations, but it is currently untested for translocated populations. We therefore produced 3,024 individual-based, spatially explicit scenarios of translocated tortoise populations that differed in recipient site and tortoise population properties, based on real-world examples, literature review, and expert opinion. We virtually sampled simulated tortoise populations by using line transect distance sampling methods and built a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the population density for each simulation, which incorporated individual-level covariates (i.e., burrow width and burrow occupancy). Line transect distance sampling was largely appropriate for the conditions that typify gopher tortoise recipient sites, particularly when detection probability on the transect lines was greater than or equal to 0.85. Designing the layout of transects relative to the orientation of soft-release pens, to avoid possible sampling biases that lead to extreme outliers in estimates of tortoise densities, resulted in more accurate population estimates. We also suggest that use of individual-level covariates, applied using a Bayesian framework as demonstrated in our study, may improve the applicability of line transect distance sampling surveys in a variety of contexts and that simulation can be a powerful tool for assessing survey design in complex sampling situations.

The three decades since the Karner blue butterfly’s (Lycaeides [Plebejus] melissa samuelis Nabokov) listing as federally endangered in the United States have seen a diverse and dedicated research and management community coalesce around the species’ recovery. This geographically expansive conservation collaboration has broken new ground for threatened and endangered species recovery. Many Karner blue recovery areas are making steady progress towards recovery goals, but some are not. An extremely hot and dry 2012, perhaps aided by adverse longer-term climate trends such as declining snow cover, extirpated the Karner blue from Indiana Dunes National Park and the surrounding Indiana Dunes Karner Blue Butterfly Recovery Unit—the southernmost recovery unit and once host to one of the species’ largest populations—as well as from northwest Ohio.
Because of the fundamental challenge that climate change represents to Karner blue butterfly recovery and of the general need for endangered species conservation plans to better address climate change, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service-led Karner Blue Butterfly Recovery Team tasked a subset of the team to:
Explore the species’ climate change sensitivity and adaptive capacity, review ongoing and projected climate change across the Karner blue range and associated uncertainties, and develop and suggest best practices concerning long-term adaptation strategies.
Consistent with that mandate, this report synthesizes what is known about Karner blue climate change vulnerability and applies current thinking in climate change adaptation to help foster strategic, long-term, climate change-informed Karner blue recovery and conservation. It develops and explores a range of potential climate change-informed butterfly- and habitat-stewardship responses, using the resist-accept-direct (RAD) framework to foster a broad range of approaches, and provides guidance regarding how they may be pursued. The report also provides suggestions for improving the climate change-exposure component of Karner blue vulnerability assessment.
