However, a number of environments exist in which Pb concentrations exceed 1 g kg-’ dry soil (Davenport and Peryea, 1991; Davis et al., 1992; Bisessar, 1982). Bisessar (1982) reported an inverse correlation between Pb concentration and the bacterial population size in soil near a secondary lead smelter. However, similar trends in the concentrations of Pb, As, Cd, and Cu at the site make it difficult to attribute the reductions in population size to Pb alone. Although the effects on microbial carbon mineralization of Pb concentrations as high as 20,000 g kg-’ dry soil were investigated by Debosz et a/. (1985), differences in pH between Pb treatments and the lack of controls for abiotic CO, evolution make the results of the study equivocal.

This database was developed from multi temporal, 1-kilometer advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) data for 1990 and various ancillary data sets such as elevation, ecological regions, and selected climatic normals.  Several case studies using this database were analyzed to illustrate the integration of satellite remote sensing and geographic information systems technologies with land-atmosphere interactions models at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.  The case studies are representative of contemporary environmental simulation modeling at local to regional levels in global change research, land and water resource management, and environmental simulation modeling at local to regional levels in global change research, land and water resource management and environmental risk assessment.  The case studies feature land surface parameterizations for atmospheric mesoscale and global climate models; biogenic-hydrocarbons emissions models; distributed parameter watershed and other hydrological models; and various ecological models such as ecosystem, dynamics, biogeochemical cycles, ecotone variability, and equilibrium vegetation models.  The case studies demonstrate the important of multi temporal AVHRR data to develop to develop and maintain a flexible, near-realtime land cover characteristics database.  Moreover, such a flexible database is needed to derive various vegetation classification schemes, to aggregate data for nested models, to develop remote sensing algorithms, and to provide data on dynamic landscape characteristics.  The case studies illustrate how such a database supports research on spatial heterogeneity, land use, sensitivity analysis, and scaling issues involving regional extrapolations and parameterizations of dynamic land processes within simulation models.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Pecora 12 Symposium","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing","publisherLocation":"Bethesda, MD","usgsCitation":"Steyaert, L.T., Loveland, T., Brown, J., and Reed, B.C., 1993, Integration of environmental simulation models with satellite remote sensing and geographic information systems technologies: case studies: Pecora 12 Symposium, p. 407-417.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"407","endPage":"417","numberOfPages":"11","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":288971,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53ae7750e4b0abf75cf2c0f0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Steyaert, Louis T.","contributorId":24689,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Steyaert","given":"Louis","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":495136,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Loveland, Thomas R. 0000-0003-3114-6646 loveland@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3114-6646","contributorId":3005,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Loveland","given":"Thomas R.","email":"loveland@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":495135,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brown, Jesslyn F. 0000-0002-9976-1998","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9976-1998","contributorId":85123,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brown","given":"Jesslyn F.","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":495137,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Reed, Bradley C. 0000-0002-1132-7178 reed@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1132-7178","contributorId":2901,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reed","given":"Bradley","email":"reed@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":495134,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

In the field, peak abundance of labeled bacteria traveling laterally with groundwater flow 6 m downgradient from point of injection was coincident with the retarded peak of carboxylated microspheres (retardation factor, RF = 1.7) at the 8.8 m depth, but preceded the bromide peak and the retarded microsphere peak (RF = 1.5) at the 9.0 m depth. At the 9.5 m depth, the bacterial peak was coincident with both the bromide and the microsphere peaks. Although sorption appeared to be a predominant mechanism responsible for immobilization of microbial-sized microspheres in the aquifer, straining appeared to be primarily responsible for their removal in 0.6-m-long columns of repacked, unsieved aquifer sediments.

Attachment of the lipid-containing phage PRD-</span><i>1</i><span> was insensitive to pH and was apparently controlled by hydrophobic interactions in soil media. The less-hydrophobic phage MS-2 acted conservatively; it was not removed in the columns at pH's 5.7–8.0. The sticking efficiency (α) in a colloid-filtration model was between 0.1 and 1 for PRD-</span><i>1</i><span>, indicating a relatively high removal efficiency. Phage attachment was reversible, but detachment under steady-state conditions was slow. An increase in pH had a moderate effect on enhancing detachment. Still, these soils should continue to release phage to virus-free water for days to weeks following exposure to virus-containing water. In sandy soils with a mass-fraction organic carbon as low as a few hundredths of a percent, pH changes in the range 5.7–8.0 should have little effect on retention of more-hydrophobic virus (e.g., PRD-</span><i>1</i><span>), in that retardation will be dominated by hydrophobic effects. Sharp increases in pH should enhance detachment and transport of virus previously deposited on soil grains. A more hydrophilic virus (e.g., MS-</span><i>2</i><span>) will transport as a conservative tracer in low-carbon sandy soil.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/0169-7722(93)90041-P","usgsCitation":"Kinoshita, T., Bales, R.C., Maguire, K.M., and Gerba, C.P., 1993, Effect of pH on bacteriophage transport through sandy soils: Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, v. 14, no. 1, p. 55-70, https://doi.org/10.1016/0169-7722(93)90041-P.","productDescription":"16 p.

The pressure system consists of a compressed air source and 1 inch diameter PVC piping with a packer attached at the end. The pressure system was evaluated in a series of rising head tests conducted in a well at a Superfund site in New England. The well was tested with slugs and with the pressure system. Within each technique, estimates of hydraulic conductivity showed no difference. Comparison of hydraulic conductivity estimates between techniques (slug test vs. pressure test) showed differences due to stratigraphy. The interval tested using slug tests crossed two stratigraphic units; the pressure system tested only one of these units. We conclude that the pressure system may be used to characterize the vertical hydraulic conductivity distribution in a series of successive tests by changing the packer position and the screened interval tested.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/0022-1694(93)90259-C","usgsCitation":"Levy, B.S., Pannell, L.J., and Dadoly, J.P., 1993, A pressure-packer system for conducting rising head tests in water table wells: Journal of Hydrology, v. 148, no. 1-2, p. 189-202, https://doi.org/10.1016/0022-1694(93)90259-C.","productDescription":"14 p.

Establishment of patches away from source meadows appears to be the process for displacing species that limits their rate of expansion into suitable habitat in this elongate embayment.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.2307/1352503","usgsCitation":"Quammen, M.L., and Onuf, C.P., 1993, Laguna madre: Seagrass changes continue decades after salinity reduction: Estuaries, v. 16, no. 2, p. 302-310, https://doi.org/10.2307/1352503.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"302","endPage":"310","costCenters":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":369382,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","otherGeospatial":"Laguna Madre","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -97.21664428710936,\n              26.066652138577403\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.16171264648436,\n              26.083921329998336\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.19329833984374,\n              26.26509379386854\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.22763061523438,\n              26.322960198925365\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.33062744140625,\n              26.533251245965456\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.3004150390625,\n              26.613085653537333\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.38418579101562,\n              26.936762457231424\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.38693237304688,\n              27.110478641792145\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.35260009765625,\n              27.319314654652057\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.22625732421875,\n              27.633657156647324\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.27844238281249,\n              27.668934069896217\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.35397338867188,\n              27.510707451811573\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.40066528320312,\n              27.349813400935638\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.43911743164062,\n              27.243641579169292\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.4542236328125,\n              27.160586094162603\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.46246337890625,\n              27.106811361271806\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.4871826171875,\n              27.05790281047787\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.4761962890625,\n              27.00163160367911\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.55722045898438,\n              26.994289803021193\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.5640869140625,\n              26.831423660953195\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.48031616210938,\n              26.744384008272544\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.42813110351562,\n              26.544308558627424\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.46932983398438,\n              26.46319686677677\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.40478515625,\n              26.208430648684686\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.32101440429688,\n              26.21828709232979\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.30178833007811,\n              26.11721900341594\n            ],\n            [\n              -97.21664428710936,\n              26.066652138577403\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"16","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Quammen, Millicent L.","contributorId":218143,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Quammen","given":"Millicent","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":775702,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Onuf, Christopher P.","contributorId":55091,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Onuf","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":455,"text":"National Wetlands Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":775703,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Discharges&nbsp;exceeded values estimated for a recurrence interval of 500 yr at four of six stations in the basin. Flow velocities in the&nbsp;channel were as high as 4.6 m/s and may have exceeded 6&nbsp;m/s at some locations; estimated values of unit stream&nbsp;power at U.S. Geological Survey gage locations were as&nbsp;high as 988 W/m2 and may have exceeded 2,500 W/m<sup>2</sup> at&nbsp;some locations. Along the three forks of the South Branch&nbsp;Potomac River, discharges of 1,000-7,000 m<sup>3</sup>/s flowed&nbsp;through valley cross sections that ranged in width from&nbsp;less than 70 m to 1,700 m, and, as a result, hydraulic&nbsp;conditions were extremely variable. Valley constrictions&nbsp;and expansions were important determinants of erosion&nbsp;and deposition patterns.&nbsp;Geomorphic impacts on valley floors along the three&nbsp;forks of the South Branch Potomac River included formation of a wide array of erosion and deposition features.<br>Flood-generated erosion features included longitudinal&nbsp;grooves, scour marks, widened channels, stripped flood&nbsp;plains, chutes, anastomosing erosion channels, and jetshaped erosion forms. Deposition features were generally&nbsp;adjacent to eroded areas and included channel gravel&nbsp;bars, gravel splays, gravel and sand sheets, isolated gravel&nbsp;bars and sand dunes on flood plains, wake deposits, and&nbsp;backwater deposits.&nbsp;Mapping of erosion damage classes along 384 km of&nbsp;channel and valley floor revealed that 82.8 percent of the&nbsp;valley length experienced at least incipient erosion, 30.2&nbsp;percent experienced severe erosion, and 5.7 percent&nbsp;experienced catastrophic erosion of the valley floor.&nbsp;Reach-average values of unit stream power were positively&nbsp;correlated with the percent of the valley reach that experienced severe erosion; percentages of 50 percent or&nbsp;more were associated with average values of 200-500&nbsp;W/m<sup>2</sup>. These results suggest that, with further research, it&nbsp;should be possible to define threshold conditions for&nbsp;bottomland erosion.&nbsp;</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Geomorphic studies of the storm and flood of November 3-5, 1985, in the upper Potomac and Cheat River basins in West Virginia and Virginia (Bulletin 1981)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.3133/b1981E","usgsCitation":"Miller, A.J., and Parkinson, D.J., 1993, Flood hydrology and geomorphic effects on river channels and flood plains: The flood of November 4-5, 1985, in the South Branch Potomac River Basin of West Virginia: U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1981, viii, 96 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/b1981E.","productDescription":"viii, 96 p.","startPage":"E1","endPage":"E96","costCenters":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":365820,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"},{"id":481381,"rank":2,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_22202.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"West Virginia","otherGeospatial":"South Branch Potomac River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -78.43566710742546,\n              39.50596768027302\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.57520110707163,\n              39.53400754322604\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.69616420231267,\n              39.30412288148112\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.60375774774076,\n              39.28076577598608\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.43566710742546,\n              39.50596768027302\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Miller, Andrew J.","contributorId":7559,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miller","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":766773,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Parkinson, Douglas J.","contributorId":217437,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Parkinson","given":"Douglas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":766774,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Between two sites along a 116-km reach of the Cedar River, tributaries contributed about 25% of the increase in the atrazine and deethylatrazine load, whereas groundwater from the alluvial aquifer contributed at least 75% of the increase in load. Within the study area, tributaries aggregate almost all of the discharge from tile drains, and yet the tributaries still only contribute 25% of the increase in loads in the main stem river. At an unfamned study site adjacent to the Cedar River, the sources of atrazine and deethylatrazine in the alluvial groundwater are bank storage of river water and groundwater recharge from areas distant from the river. Atrazine and deethylatrazine associated with bank storage water will provide larger concentrations to the river during early base flow conditions. After the depletion of bank storage, stable and smaller concentrations of atrazine and deethylatrazine, originating from groundwater recharge, continue to be discharged from the alluvial aquifer to the river; thus these results indicate that alluvial aquifers are an important nonpoint source of atrazine and deethylatrazine in rivers during base

The combination of fine-scale sampling and rapid sedimentation produces radionuclide distributions that can be used to estimate the detailed chronology of particle transport processes in the Oahe reservoir system. A self-consistent and quantitative treatment of the&nbsp;</span><sup>137</sup><span>Cs data suggests processes to which characteristic times may be associated. Times that characterize system-wide processes include (1) an integration time of several years reflecting retention of the sediment-bound tracer in regions within or external to the reservoir, (2) a relaxation time of approximately 15 years reflecting a decreasing rate of sediment accumulation ascribed to shoreline stabilization, (3) a time of a few months characterizing the breadth of riverine signatures in cores due to integration effects in the Cheyenne River system and deltaic deposits, and (4) times of a few years associated with propagation of riverine load signatures along the embayment. The distribution of total sedimentary arsenic confirms the validity of the variable sedimentation model. In 1977, a tailings retention facility was built at the Homestake Mine site, and the unrestricted input of As ceased. As a result of this remedial action, the concentration of sedimentary As decreased dramatically. In the upper section of the core, above the depth represented by the year 1976, the concentration of As decreases tenfold. In this same core the distribution of lithologically discriminating chemical elements, calcium and vanadium, relate to major flow events in the Cheyenne River basin. Because there is minimal diagenesis of chemical constituents in these rapidly accumulating sediments, stable element signatures, in addition to radiotracers, may be used to reconstruct hydrologic events in drainage basins that contribute sediment to lakes and reservoirs.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/93WR00387","usgsCitation":"Callender, E., and Robbins, J.A., 1993, Transport and accumulation of radionuclides and stable elements in a Missouri River Reservoir: Water Resources Research, v. 29, no. 6, p. 1787-1804, https://doi.org/10.1029/93WR00387.","productDescription":"18 p.

The center of the oil body has depressed the water-saturated zone boundary and the oil appears to have migrated laterally within the capillary fringe. A multiphase cross-sectional flow model was developed and used to simulate the movement of oil and water at the spill site. Comparisons between observed and simulated oil saturation distributions serve as an indicator of the appropriateness of using such models to predict the actual spread of organic immiscible liquids at spill sites. Sediment hydraulic properties used in the model were estimated from particle size data. The general large-scale features of the observed oil body were reproduced only when hysteresis with oil entrapment and representations of observed spatial variability of hydraulic properties were incorporated into the model. The small-scale details of the observed subsurface oil distribution were not reproduced in the simulations.

Approximately 100 nm diameter, spherical, iron oxide particles were synthesized as the mobile colloidal phase. The column packing material was retrieved from a sand and gravel aquifer on Cape Cod, MA. Previous studies have indicated enhanced stability and transport of iron oxide particles due to specific adsorption of some inorganic anions on the iron oxide surface. This phenomenon was further evaluated with an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate. Surfactants constitute a significant mass of the contaminant loading at the Cape Cod site and their presence may contribute to colloidal transport as a significant transport mechanism at the site. Other studies at the site have previously demonstrated the occurrence of this transport mechanism for iron phosphate particles. Photon correlation spectroscopy, micro-electrophoretic mobility, and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate particle stability, mobility and size. Adsorption of negatively charged organic and inorganic species onto the surface of the iron oxide particles was shown to significantly enhance particle stability and transport through alterations of the electrokinetic properties of the particle surface.

The RCM used is the National Center for Atmospheric Research/Pennsylvania State University mesoscale model (MM4). Output from two year‐round simulations (1983 and 1988) over the western United States is used to drive a lake model for Pyramid Lake in Nevada and a streamfiow model for Steamboat Creek in Oregon. Comparisons with observed data indicate that MM4 is able to produce meteorologic data sets that can be used to drive hydrologic models. Results from the lake model simulations indicate that the use of MM4 output produces reasonably good predictions of surface temperature and evaporation. Results from the streamflow simulations indicate that the use of MM4 output results in good simulations of the seasonal cycle of streamflow, but deficiencies in simulated wintertime precipitation resulted in underestimates of streamflow and soil moisture. Further work with climate (multiyear) simulations is necessary to achieve a complete analysis, but the results from this study indicate that coupling of LSHMs and RCMs may be a useful approach for evaluating the effects of climate change on hydrologic systems.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/93WR00263","usgsCitation":"Hostetler, S.W., and Giorgi, F., 1993, Use of output from high‐resolution atmospheric models in landscape‐scale hydrologic models: An assessment: Water Resources Research, v. 29, no. 6, p. 1685-1695, https://doi.org/10.1029/93WR00263.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"1685","endPage":"1695","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":339399,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"29","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2010-07-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"58e8a54ce4b09da6799d63f3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hostetler, S.

Solute concentrations have not previously been measured across a range of pore sizes and examined in relation to soil hydrological properties. For this study, modified pressure cells were used to measure variation in concentration of a solute tracer across a range of pore sizes. Intact cores were removed from the site of a field tracer experiment, and soil water was eluted from 10 or more discrete classes of pore size. Simultaneous changes in water content and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity were determined on cores using standard pressure cell techniques. Bromide tracer concentration varied by as much as 100% across the range of pore sizes sampled. Immediately following application of the bromide tracer on field plots, bromide was most concentrated in the largest pores; concentrations were lower in pores of progressively smaller sizes. After 27 days, bromide was most dilute in the largest pores and concentrations were higher in the smaller pores. A sharp, threefold decrease in specific water capacity during elution indicated separation of two major pore size classes at a pressure of 47 cm H</span><sub>2</sub><span>O and a corresponding effective pore diameter of 70 μm. Variation in tracer concentration, on the other hand, was spread across the entire range of pore sizes investigated in this study.
