Seagrass beds, which are highly dependent on water quality and clarity for survival, are home to a multitude of aquatic plants and animals and a source of economic activity through commercial and recreational fishing and ecotourism. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Gulf of Mexico Program (GMP) and its partners have made a commitment to restore, enhance, and protect this important ecosystem. As seagrass habitats decrease, the need for information on the causes and effects of seagrass loss, current mapping information, and education on the importance of seagrassess becomes greater. This report is the initial effort of the GMP’s research and restoration plan for seagrasses. The purpose of this report is to provide scientists, managers, and citizens with valuable baseline information on the status and trends of seagrasses in coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Within the northern Gulf of Mexico region, 14 individual estuarine systems where seagrasses occur, as well as statewide summaries for Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, are examined in this study. Each estuarine system is detailed in vignettes that address current and historical extent and quality of seagrasses, seagrass mapping and monitoring, causes of status change, restoration and enhancement activities, background information for the entire study area as well as the subareas for study, and the methodology employed to analyze and document the historical trends and current status of seagrasses.</p><p>The systems, moving from west to east, include the Laguna Madre, Texas Coastal Bend region, and Galveston Bay in Texas; the Chandeleur Islands in Louisiana; the Mississippi Sound; and Perdido Bay, Pensacola/Escambia Bay, Choctawhatchee Bay, St. Andrew Bay, Florida’s Big Bend region, Tampa Bay/St. Joseph Sound, Sarasota Bay, Greater Charlotte Harbor, and Florida Bay in Florida.

The primary threats to manatee populations are collisions with watercraft and the potential loss of warm-water refuges. For the purposes of listing, recovery, and regulation under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), an understanding of the relative effects of the principal threats is needed. This work is a quantitative approach to threats analysis, grounded in the assumption that an appropriate measure of status under the ESA is based on the risk of extinction, as quantified by the probability of quasi-extinction. This is related to the qualitative threats analyses that are more common under the ESA, but provides an additional level of rigor, objectivity, and integration. In this approach, our philosophy is that analysis of the five threat factors described in Section 4(a)(1) of the ESA can be undertaken within an integrated quantitative framework.\r\n\r\nThe basis of this threats analysis is a comparative population viability analysis. This involves forecasting the Florida manatee population under different scenarios regarding the presence of threats, while accounting for process variation (environmental, demographic, and catastrophic stochasticity) as well as parametric and structural uncertainty. We used the manatee core biological model (CBM) for this viability analysis, and considered the role of five threats: watercraft-related mortality, loss of warm-water habitat in winter, mortality in water-control structures, entanglement, and red tide. All scenarios were run with an underlying parallel structure that allowed a more powerful estimation of the effects of the various threats. The results reflect our understanding of manatee ecology (as captured in the structure of the CBM), our estimates of manatee demography (as described by the parameters in the model), and our characterization of the mechanisms by which the threats act on manatees.\r\n\r\nAs an example of the type of results generated, we estimated that the probability of the manatee population falling to less than 250 adults on either the Atlantic or Gulf coasts (from a current statewide population size of near 3300) within 100 years is 8.6%. Complete removal of the watercraft threat alone would reduce this risk to 0.4%; complete removal of the warm-water threat to 4.2%; removal of both threats would reduce the risk to 0.1%. The modeling approach we have taken also allows us to consider partial removal of threats, as well as removal of multiple threats simultaneously.\r\n\r\nWe believe the measure we have proposed (probability of quasi-extinction over y years, with quasi-extinction defined as dropping below a threshold of z on either coast) is a suitable measure of status that integrates a number of the elements that are relevant to interpretation under the ESA (it directly integrates risk of extinction and reduction of range, and indirectly integrates loss of genetic diversity). But the identification of the time frame of interest and the tolerable risk of quasi-extinction are policy decisions, and an ecology-based quasi-extinction threshold has not yet been determined. We have endeavored to provide results over a wide range of these parameters to give decision-makers useful information to assess status.\r\n\r\nThis assessment of threats suggests that watercraft-related mortality is having the greatest impact on manatee population growth and resilience. Elimination of this single threat would greatly reduce the probability of quasi-extinction. Loss of warm-water is also a significant threat, particularly over the long-term. Red tide and entanglement, while noticeable threats, have had less of an impact on the manatee population. The effect of water control structures may have already been largely mitigated. We did not, however, consider an exhaustive list of threats.

This population model includes annual variability in survival and reproductive rates, demographic stochasticity, effects of changes in warm-water capacity, and catastrophes. Further, the model explicitly accounts for uncertainty in parameter estimates. This model is meant to serve as a flexible tool for use in assessments relevant to management decision making, and was used in the State of Florida's recent biological status review. The parameter estimates and model structure described herein reflect our understanding of manatee demography at the time that this status review was completed. In the Northwest and Upper St. Johns regions, the model predicts that the populations will increase over time until warm-water capacity is reached, at which point growth will taper off. In the Atlantic region, the model predicts a stable or slightly increasing population over the next decade or so, and then a decrease as industrial warm-water capacity is lost. In the Southwest region, the model predicts a decline over time, driven by high annual mortality in the short-term and exacerbated by loss of industrial warm-water winter refuges over the next 40 years. Statewide, the likelihood of a 50% or greater decline in three manatee generations was 12%; the likelihood of a 20% or greater decline in two generations was 56%. These declines are largely driven by the anticipated loss of warm-water capacity, especially in the Atlantic and Southwest regions. The estimates of probability of extinction within 100 years were 11.9% for the Southwest region, 0.6% for the Northwest, 0.04% for the Atlantic, and <0.02% for the Upper St. Johns. The estimated probability that the statewide population will fall below 1000 animals within 100 years was 2.3%. Thus, while the estimated probability of extinction is low, the model predicts that current and emerging threats are likely to result in a long-term decline in the statewide population and a change in the regional distribution of manatees. Analyses of sensitivity and variance contribution highlight the importance of reducing uncertainty in some life-history parameters, particularly adult survival, temporal variance of adult survival, and long-term warm-water capacity. This core biological model is expected to evolve over time, as better information becomes available about manatees and their habitat, and as new assessment needs arise. We anticipate that this core model will be customized for other state and federal assessments in the near future.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20071082","usgsCitation":"Runge, M.C., Sanders-Reed, C., and Fonnesbeck, C.J., 2007, A core stochastic population projection model for Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris): U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2007-1082, 41 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20071082.","productDescription":"41 p.","numberOfPages":"41","costCenters":[{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":9968,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1082/ofr20071082.pdf","text":"Report","size":"662 KB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":192152,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1082/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":429342,"rank":4,"type":{"id":3,"text":"Appendix"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1082/OFR2007-1082AppB.xlsx","text":"Appendix B.

Most of these USGS activities were collaborations with Tribes, Tribal organizations, or professional societies. Others were conducted cooperatively with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or other Federal entities.\r\n\r\nThe USGS is the earth and natural science bureau within the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). The USGS does not have regulatory or land management responsibilities.\r\n\r\nAs described in this report, there are many USGS activities that are directly relevant to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and to Native lands. A USGS website, dedicated to making USGS more accessible to American Indians, Alaska Natives, their governments, and institutions, is available at www.usgs.gov/indian. This website includes information on how to contact USGS American Indian/Alaska Native Liaisons, training opportunities, and links to other information resources. This report and previous editions are also available through the website.\r\n\r\nThe USGS realizes that Native knowledge and cultural traditions of living in harmony with nature result in unique Native perspectives that enrich USGS studies. USGS seeks to increase the sensitivity and openness of its scientists to the breadth of Native knowledge, expanding the information on which their research is based.\r\n\r\nUSGS scientific studies include data collection, mapping, natural resource modeling, and research projects. These projects typically last 2 or 3 years, although some are parts of longer-term activities. Some projects are funded cooperatively, with USGS funds matched or supplemented by individual Tribal governments, or by the BIA. These projects may also receive funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the Indian Health Service (part of the Department of Health and Human Services), or other Federal agencies. The USGS routinely works with its sister bureaus in the Department of the Interior to provide the scientific information and expertise needed to meet the Department's science priorities.\r\n\r\nSome USGS activities described in this report are conducted as collateral tasks that result from USGS employees identifying and responding to perceived needs. These endeavors are usually prompted by employee interests and frequently involve educational activities. The education is often a reciprocal learning and teaching experience for USGS employees and for Native participants. Through these activities, USGS employees help to fulfill a mission of the USGS - to demonstrate scientific relevance - while helping their fellow citizens. Increasingly, some of the educational activities are becoming parts of formal USGS projects.\r\n\r\nUSGS employees also take initiative in assisting American Indians and Alaska Natives by participating in several organizations that promote awareness of science career opportunities among Native peoples and help build support and communication networks. One such group is the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES). USGS employees join this organization on a voluntary basis, bringing the benefits of this expanded network to the USGS, as many employees do with other professional organizations.\r\n\r\nThe studies briefly described in this report span subsistence issues, wildlife health, water quality, mineral resources, monitoring and modeling to gather information and predict what may happen in the future. Although each project description relates to Native Americans in some way, the projects vary widely, including who conducted the work, the goals and products, the duration of the study, and whether it was local or covered a broad area. Each major organizational unit of the USGS has identified an American Indian/Alaska Native liaison.

The CPI in the Great Lakes setting ranks the following in terms of their physical contribution to lake-level related coastal change: geomorphology, regional coastal slope, rate and direction (i.e., rise and fall) of relative lake-level change, historical shoreline change rates, annual ice cover and mean significant wave height. The rankings for each input variable were combined, and an index value calculated for 1-minute bins covering the parks. The CPI highlights those regions where the physical effects of lake-level and coastal change might be the greatest. This approach combines the coastal system's potential for change with its natural ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, yielding a quantitative, although relative, measure of the park's natural susceptibility to the effects of lake-level variation. The CPI provides an objective technique for evaluation and long-term planning by scientists and park managers. The CPI is applied to the National Lakeshores of Apostle Islands, Indiana Dunes, and Sleeping Bear Dunes to test this methodology in lake settings. The National Lakeshores in this study consist of sand and gravel beaches, rock outcrops, and dune and glacial bluffs. The areas within these Great Lakes parks that are likely to experience the most lake-levelrelated coastal change are areas of unconsolidated sediment where regional coastal slope is low and wave energy is high.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20051249","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the National

Amphibians are notoriously fastidious in terms of captive care requirements, and the majority of diseases of amphibians maintained in captivity will relate directly or indirectly to husbandry and management. Investigators have described many infectious and noninfectious diseases that occur among various species of captive and wild amphibians, and there is considerable overlap in the diseases of captive versus free-ranging populations. In this article, some of the more commonly reported infectious and noninfectious diseases as well as their etiological agents and causative factors are reviewed. Some of the more common amphibian diseases with bacterial etiologies include bacterial dermatosepticemia or “red leg syndrome,” flavobacteriosis, mycobacteriosis, and chlamydiosis. The most common viral diseases of amphibians are caused by the ranaviruses, which have an impact on many species of anurans and caudates. Mycotic and mycotic-like organisms cause a number of diseases among amphibians, including chytridiomycosis, zygomycoses, chromomycoses, saprolegniasis, and ichthyophoniasis. Protozoan parasites of amphibians include a variety of amoeba, ciliates, flagellates, and sporozoans Common metazoan parasites include various myxozoans, helminths (particularly trematodes and nematodes), and arthropods. Commonly encountered non-infectious disease etiologies for amphibians include neoplasia, absolute or specific nutritional deficiencies or overloads, chemical toxicities, and inadequate husbandry or environmental management.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Institute for Laboratory Animal Research","doi":"10.1093/ilar.48.3.235","usgsCitation":"Densmore, C.L., and Green, D.E., 2007, Diseases of amphibians: ILAR Journal, v. 48, no. 3, p. 235-254, https://doi.org/10.1093/ilar.48.3.235.","productDescription":"20 p.","startPage":"235","endPage":"254","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":476824,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ilar.48.3.235","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":372657,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"48","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Densmore, Christine L. 0000-0001-6440-0781 cdensmore@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6440-0781","contributorId":4560,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Densmore","given":"Christine","email":"cdensmore@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":783184,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Green, David E. 0000-0002-7663-1832 degreen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7663-1832","contributorId":3715,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Green","given":"David","email":"degreen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":783185,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

These profiles image a 35–45-km-thick crust with strong, near-horizontal reflections at all depths. The thickness of the crust increases by 10 km over a distance of ∼50 km from the northern margin of the Gulf of Kutch to the earthquake epicenter. Aftershocks of the Bhuj earthquake extend to a depth of 37 km, indicating a cold, brittle crust to that depth. Our results show that all of these aftershocks are contained within the crust. Furthermore, there is no evidence for offsets in the crust-mantle boundary associated with deep (mantle) faulting. The existence of a thick (∼45 km) and highly reflective crust at the epicentral zone may be indicative of crustal thickening due to the compressive regime of the past 55 m.y. Alternatively, this crustal thickening could be attributable to magmatic intrusions that date back to Mesozoic rifting associated with the breakup of Gond-wanaland.</p></div>","largerWorkTitle":"","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/2007.2425(20)","usgsCitation":"Sarkar, D., Sain, K., Reddy, P., Catchings, R.D., and Mooney, W.D., 2007, Seismic-reflection images of the crust beneath the 2001 M = 7.7 Kutch (Bhuj) epicentral region, western India : Geological Society of America Special Papers , v. 425, p. 319-327, https://doi.org/10.1130/2007.2425(20).","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"319","endPage":"327","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":374817,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"India","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              69.32373046875,\n              20.899871347076424\n            ],\n            [\n              76.70654296875,\n              20.899871347076424\n            ],\n            [\n              76.70654296875,\n              28.05259082333983\n            ],\n            [\n              69.32373046875,\n              28.05259082333983\n            ],\n            [\n              69.32373046875,\n              20.899871347076424\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"425","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sarkar, Dipankar","contributorId":173891,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sarkar","given":"Dipankar","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":27315,"text":"National Geophysical Research Institute, India","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":789129,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sain, K.","contributorId":59610,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sain","given":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":789130,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Reddy, P.R.","contributorId":30806,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reddy","given":"P.R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":789131,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Catchings, Rufus D. 0000-0002-5191-6102 catching@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5191-6102","contributorId":1519,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Catchings","given":"Rufus","email":"catching@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":789132,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Mooney, Walter D. 0000-0002-5310-3631 mooney@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5310-3631","contributorId":3194,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mooney","given":"Walter","email":"mooney@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":789133,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

This report is the first comprehensive science strategy since the early 1990s to examine critically major USGS science goals and priorities.</p><p>The development of this science strategy comes at a time of global trends and rapidly evolving societal needs that pose important natural-science challenges. The emergence of a global economy affects the demand for all resources. The last decade has witnessed the emergence of a new model for managing Federal lands—ecosystem-based management. The U.S. Climate Change Science Program predicts that the next few decades will see rapid changes in the Nation’s and the Earth’s environment. Finally, the natural environment continues to pose risks to society in the form of volcanoes, earthquakes, wildland fires, floods, droughts, invasive species, variable and changing climate, and natural and anthropogenic toxins, as well as animal-borne diseases that affect humans. The use of, and competition for, natural resources on the global scale, and natural threats to those resources, has the potential to impact the Nation’s ability to sustain its economy, national security, quality of life, and natural environment.</p><p>Responding to these national priorities and global trends requires a science strategy that not only builds on existing USGS strengths and partnerships but also demands the innovation made possible by integrating the full breadth and depth of USGS capabilities. The USGS chooses to go forward in the science directions proposed here because the societal issues addressed by these science directions represent major challenges for the Nation’s future and for the stewards of Federal lands, both onshore and offshore.</p><p>The six science directions proposed in this science strategy are summarized in the following paragraphs. The ecosystems strategy is listed first because it has a dual nature. It is itself an essential direction for the USGS to pursue to meet a pressing national and global need, but ecosystem-based approaches are also an underpinning of the other five directions, which all require ecosystem perspectives and tools for their execution.

Algal biomass in a water body can be estimated in three ways: (1) by quantifying chlorophyll <i>a </i> (CHL <i>a</i>), (2) by measuring carbon biomass as ash-free dry mass (AFDM), or (3) by measuring the particulate organic carbon (POC) in a sample.

Non‐point source pollution can have significant implications for the availability of potable water and the continued health of borderland ecosystems in arid lands. However, environmental assessments in this region present a host of unique issues and problems. A common obstacle to the solution of these problems is the integration of data with different resolutions, naming conventions, and quality to create a consistent database across the binational study area. This report presents a simple modeling approach to predict nonpoint source pollution that can be used for border watersheds. The modeling approach links a hillslopescale erosion‐prediction model and a spatially derived sediment‐delivery model within a geographic information system to estimate erosion, sediment yield, and sediment deposition across the Ambos Nogales watershed in Sonora, Mexico, and Arizona. This paper discusses the procedures used for creating a watershed database to apply the models and presents an example of the modeling approach applied to a conservation‐planning problem.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/08865655.2007.9695670","usgsCitation":"Norman, L.M., 2007, United States‐Mexican border watershed assessment: Modeling nonpoint source pollution in Ambos Nogales: Journal of Borderlands Studies, v. 22, no. 1, p. 79-97, https://doi.org/10.1080/08865655.2007.9695670.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"79","endPage":"97","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":334867,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Mexico, United States","state":"Arizona, Sonoma","city":"Nogales, Nogales","otherGeospatial":"United States-Mexico border watershed","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -112.3681640625,\n              30.0405664305846\n            ],\n            [\n              -112.3681640625,\n              32.40779154205701\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.017333984375,\n              32.40779154205701\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.017333984375,\n              30.0405664305846\n            ],\n            [\n              -112.3681640625,\n              30.0405664305846\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"22","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"589aeab2e4b0efcedb72d241","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Norman, Laura M. 0000-0002-3696-8406 lnorman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3696-8406","contributorId":967,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Norman","given":"Laura","email":"lnorman@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":662753,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

We compare various MCDA methods and their theoretical underpinnings, examining methods that most realistically model complex decision problems in ways that are understandable and transparent to stakeholders.</span></p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Advances in the Economics of Environmental Resources","publisher":" Emerald Group Publishing Limited","publisherLocation":"Greenwich, CT","usgsCitation":"Hermans, C.M., and Erickson, J.D., 2007, Multicriteria decision analysis: Overview and implications for environmental decision making, chap. <i>of</i> Advances in the Economics of Environmental Resources, v. 7, p. 213-228.","productDescription":"16 p.","startPage":"213","endPage":"228","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":334873,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","volume":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"589aeab1e4b0efcedb72d23f","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Erickson, Jon D.","contributorId":179109,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Erickson","given":"Jon","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":662758,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Messner, Frank","contributorId":179110,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Messner","given":"Frank","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":662759,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ring, Irene","contributorId":179111,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ring","given":"Irene","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":662760,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":3}],"authors":[{"text":"Hermans, Caroline M.","contributorId":45012,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hermans","given":"Caroline","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":662756,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Erickson, Jon D.","contributorId":179109,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Erickson","given":"Jon","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":662757,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The observations indicate that the electrical activity had two modes or phases. First, there was an explosive phase in which the ejecta from the explosion appeared to be highly charged upon exiting the volcano, resulting in numerous apparently disorganized discharges and some simple lightning. The net charge exiting the volcano appears to have been positive. The second phase, which followed the most energetic explosion, produced conventional-type discharges that occurred within plume. Although the plume cloud was undoubtedly charged as a result of the explosion itself, the fact that the lightning onset was delayed and continued after and well downwind of the eruption indicates that in situ charging of some kind was occurring, presumably similar in some respects to that which occurs in normal thunderstorms.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Association for the Advancement of Science","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.1126/science.1136091","usgsCitation":"Thomas, R., Krehbiel, P.R., Rison, W., Edens, H.E., Aulich, G., McNutt, S., Tytgat, G., and Clark, E., 2007, Electrical activity during the 2006 Mount St. Augustine volcanic eruptions: Science, v. 315, p. 1097-1097, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1136091.","productDescription":"1 p.","startPage":"1097","endPage":"1097","numberOfPages":"1","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","temporalStart":"2006-01-01","costCenters":[{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":322320,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Southwestern Cook Inlet in the Kenai Peninsula Borough of southcentral coastal Alaska","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.6485595703125,\n              43.35713822211053\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.6485595703125,\n              45.521743896993634\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.7811279296875,\n              45.521743896993634\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.7811279296875,\n              43.35713822211053\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.6485595703125,\n              43.35713822211053\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -153.6046600341797,\n              59.316549906490465\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.6046600341797,\n              59.42167959499959\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.32313537597656,\n              59.42167959499959\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.32313537597656,\n              59.316549906490465\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.6046600341797,\n              59.316549906490465\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"315","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57569eb0e4b023b96ec28444","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Thomas, Ronald J.","contributorId":25371,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Thomas","given":"Ronald J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":633149,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Krehbiel, Paul R.","contributorId":31622,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Krehbiel","given":"Paul","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":633150,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Rison, William","contributorId":70640,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rison","given":"William","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":633151,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Edens, H.

By early February a plume of volcanic ash was transported northward into the interior of Alaska. Satellite imagery and Puff volcanic ash transport model predictions confirm that the aerosol plume passed over a polarization lidar (0.694 mm wavelength) site at the Arctic Facility for Atmospheric Remote Sensing at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. For the first time, lidar linear depolarization ratios of 0.10 &ndash; 0.15 were measured in a fresh tropospheric volcanic plume, demonstrating that the nonspherical glass and mineral particles typical of volcanic eruptions generate strong laser depolarization. Thus, polarization lidars can identify the volcanic ash plumes that pose a threat to jet air traffic from the ground, aircraft, or potentially from Earth orbit.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.1029/2006GL027237","usgsCitation":"Sassen, K., Zhu, J., Webley, P.W., Dean, K., and Cobb, P., 2007, Volcanic ash plume identification using polarization lidar: Augustine eruption, Alaska: Geophysical Research Letters, v. 34, 4 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2006GL027237.","productDescription":"4 p.","numberOfPages":"4","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":476825,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2006gl027237","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":322284,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Southwestern Cook Inlet in the Kenai Peninsula Borough of southcentral coastal Alaska","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.6485595703125,\n              43.35713822211053\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.6485595703125,\n              45.521743896993634\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.7811279296875,\n              45.521743896993634\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.7811279296875,\n              43.35713822211053\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.6485595703125,\n              43.35713822211053\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -153.6046600341797,\n              59.316549906490465\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.6046600341797,\n              59.42167959499959\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.32313537597656,\n              59.42167959499959\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.32313537597656,\n              59.316549906490465\n            ],\n            [\n              -153.6046600341797,\n              59.316549906490465\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"34","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2007-04-17","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57569eb8e4b023b96ec28486","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sassen, Kenneth","contributorId":168686,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sassen","given":"Kenneth","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":632975,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Zhu, Jiang","contributorId":170401,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zhu","given":"Jiang","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":632976,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Webley, Peter W.","contributorId":71937,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Webley","given":"Peter","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":632977,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Dean, K.","contributorId":42767,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dean","given":"K.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13097,"text":"Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":632978,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Cobb, Patrick","contributorId":170402,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cobb","given":"Patrick","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":632979,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}
