Interpreting relationships between watershed characteristics, hydrologic regimes, and model performance can reveal potential areas for model improvement. In this study, we use machine learning to assess model performance of a regional hydrologic model to forecast the occurrence of streamflow drought. We demonstrate our methodology using a regional long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning model developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and data from 384 streamgages across the Colorado River Basin region. Performance was assessed by clustering catchments using: (a) physical and climatological catchment attributes, and (b) streamflow drought signatures time series. We examined the association of USGS LSTM model error measures with clusters generated by both approaches to interpret meaningful spatial and temporal information about LSTM model performance. Clustering static catchment attributes identified elevation, degree of streamflow regulation, baseflow contribution, catchment aridity, and drainage area as the most influential attributes to model performance. Clustering gages by their drought signatures revealed that catchments with significant seasonal peak runoff between January and June generally exhibited better model performance. Additionally, a Random Forest classifier was trained to successfully predict LSTM model performance (F1 score of 0.72) based on physical and climatological catchment attributes. Low degree of flow regulation was identified as a key indicator of better LSTM model performance. These findings point to the opportunities for improving the USGS LSTM model performance in future hydrologic drought prediction efforts across regional and CONUS scales.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2024WR039077","usgsCitation":"Dadkhah, A., Hamshaw, S.D., van der Heijden, R., and Rizzo, D.M., 2025, A spatiotemporal interrogation of hydrologic drought model performance for machine learning model interpretability: Water Resources Research, v. 61, no. 11, e2024WR039077, 20 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2024WR039077.","productDescription":"e2024WR039077, 20 p.","ipdsId":"IP-171117","costCenters":[{"id":37778,"text":"WMA - Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496726,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2024wr039077","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":496550,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona, California, Colorado,  Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"Colorado River basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -116.82376678919411,\n              36.26233085914717\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.85085818096155,\n              32.567720561211985\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.51032589138043,\n              31.22468250332072\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.12617557977711,\n              31.516111303152087\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.07123697669522,\n              32.48455428990293\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.78172590159346,\n              34.79341128012621\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.32122175185708,\n              37.822265600751294\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.54120424685271,\n              39.31008340398529\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.01672465698343,\n              42.43285898166596\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.61536956018404,\n              44.597711605623914\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.68883267765926,\n              45.86117991057367\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.94111657475693,\n              46.52791159365242\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.34981535286528,\n              46.65300676975278\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.2114048549673,\n              44.05547092656684\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.54731167526421,\n              41.97871186707138\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.35050975086381,\n              42.039351853495674\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.8152614776348,\n              40.77295494694408\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.24558792818462,\n              38.8937217445025\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.82376678919411,\n              36.26233085914717\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"61","issue":"11","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-30","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dadkhah, Ali 0000-0002-0861-4926","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0861-4926","contributorId":362194,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dadkhah","given":"Ali","affiliations":[{"id":13253,"text":"University of Vermont","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950171,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hamshaw, Scott Douglas 0000-0002-0583-4237","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0583-4237","contributorId":305601,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hamshaw","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"Douglas","affiliations":[{"id":37778,"text":"WMA - Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950172,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"van der Heijden, Ryan 0000-0003-1320-9500","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1320-9500","contributorId":362195,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"van der Heijden","given":"Ryan","affiliations":[{"id":13253,"text":"University of Vermont","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950173,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Rizzo, Donna M.","contributorId":362196,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rizzo","given":"Donna","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":13253,"text":"University of Vermont","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950174,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Inhabiting these deserts are 7 mud turtles (representing 4 separate clades within the genus&nbsp;</span><i>Kinosternon</i><span>), and we compared their basic ecology, life history, and estivation time to test for variation between deserts. We used phylogenetic comparative methods to correlate the life history traits with environmental variables (temperature and precipitation) to test for variation between deserts. Life history strategies (clutch size, egg size, and reproductive phenology) of mud turtles were similar across both deserts, with negative correlations of clutch size and age of maturity with both aridity and temperature variables. Maximum estivation time was correlated with the seasonality of each included locality. Overall, life history strategies were quite similar, with small local specializations to avoid high temperatures and periodic lack of water. From a population ecology perspective, populations showed varied sex ratios biased toward males or females, along with different population structure among populations and species. However, most published studies lacked data for hatchlings. Phylogenetic signal is high in traits related to body size, including sexual size dimorphism. Overall, mud turtles from the southwest deserts are adapted to regional seasonality and precipitation regimes, with minor adjustments to fit local conditions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"BioOne","doi":"10.3398/064.085.0302","usgsCitation":"Macipríos, R., and Lovich, J.E., 2025, Comparative life history of mud turtles (genus: Kinosternon) from the North American deserts: Western North American Naturalist, v. 85, no. 3, p. 396-410, https://doi.org/10.3398/064.085.0302.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"396","endPage":"410","ipdsId":"IP-165079","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498316,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Mexico, United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -101.32669609969128,\n              42.18591387423689\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.30100988851879,\n              42.18591387423689\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.30100988851879,\n              24.48732899818424\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.32669609969128,\n              24.48732899818424\n            ],\n            [\n              -101.32669609969128,\n              42.18591387423689\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"85","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-30","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Macipríos, Rodrigo","contributorId":347546,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Macipríos","given":"Rodrigo","affiliations":[{"id":83188,"text":"Escuela Nacional de Estudios Superiores, Unidad Morelia.

Here, we investigate Δσ dependence on depth and maximum shear stress (</span><i>τ</i><sub>max</sub><span>) based on ~11 years of seismicity in the northeastern Japanese forearc following the 2011 Tohoku-Oki megathrust earthquake. We interpret Δσ estimates computed using both individual spectra and spectral-ratio methods and find that Δσ exhibits a clear depth dependence within the seismically active upper ~60 km of the forearc lithosphere ( ~ 0.8 MPa per 10 km). We further compare Δσ values with quantitative&nbsp;</span><i>τ</i><sub>max</sub><span>&nbsp;estimates from finite-element models of force balance. We find that median Δσ values increase with&nbsp;</span><i>τ</i><sub>max</sub><span>&nbsp;in the brittle forearc lithosphere and that earthquake stress release is proportional to&nbsp;</span><i>τ</i><sub>max</sub><span>. The dependence of Δσ on&nbsp;</span><i>τ</i><sub>max</sub><span>&nbsp;explains the apparent depth dependence of Δσ and suggests that average Δσ values provide a relative measure of the stress at failure.

Reestablishment of cisco is an important component of management plans to restore sustainable fisheries in Lake Huron. Cisco restoration efforts have focused on the release of hatchery-reared fish, but the fate and behavior of stocked fish after release is unknown. Mortality due to predation and behavior of hatchery-reared fish after release may influence success of restoration stocking programs. Acoustic telemetry tags with predation sensors show promise for tracking movements and survival of juvenile fish; however, guidelines for designing receiver arrays to capture movements and determine the fate of juvenile fish are not well-established.</p><h3 class=\"c-article__sub-heading\" data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>We examined whether an acoustic receiver array with approximately 20 km<sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;</span>of coverage was sufficient to determine movements and fate of cisco during the first month after release. We implanted 26 juvenile cisco (mean total length = 161&nbsp;mm) with acoustic tags equipped with a sensor to detect predation. Thirteen fish (50%) moved more than 4&nbsp;km from the release location and out of the array, seven fish (27%) were consumed by predators while in the array within 17&nbsp;days of release, and the fates of six fish (23%) were unknown. Of fish that left the array, 50% left between 4 and 7&nbsp;days after release. No fish were detected after 17&nbsp;days after release. Cisco moved with water currents during the first day after release, but this was not observed in subsequent days.

Tests of this hypothesis typically focus on changes in niche centroids and boundaries. An outstanding question is whether species' environmental associations differ within the interior of their niche space–that is, across the full range of occupied conditions–in original versus novel geographic space.</p><h3 id=\"ddi70100-sec-0002-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Location</h3><p>Europe and North America.</p><h3 id=\"ddi70100-sec-0003-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Time Period</h3><p>1997–2018.</p><h3 id=\"ddi70100-sec-0004-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Major Taxa Studied</h3><p>Birds.</p><h3 id=\"ddi70100-sec-0005-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Methods</h3><p>We used over 400,000 observations collected over 22 years and across 28 countries to explore whether two common songbird species—European starling (<i>Sturnus vulgaris</i>) and house sparrow (<i>Passer domesticus</i>) – exhibit niche conservatism between their native European and non-native North American ranges. We tested for niche conservatism via (1) an ordination approach that quantified change in niche shape and boundaries, and (2) generalised linear mixed effects models to quantify how abundance varied with the interaction between continent and climate or land cover variables.</p><h3 id=\"ddi70100-sec-0006-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Results</h3><p>The ordination analysis indicated that both European starling and house sparrow exhibited niche conservatism between Europe and North America. However, abundance models revealed continental differences in how the species responded to temperature and land cover. The abundance models also revealed that areas with wetter conditions that were occupied by both species in their native European ranges were available but unoccupied in their non-native North American ranges (i.e., niche unfilling).</p><h3 id=\"ddi70100-sec-0007-title\" class=\"article-section__sub-title section1\">Main Conclusions</h3><p>Our work demonstrates that species can exhibit apparent consistency in niche boundaries but varied abundance responses to the environment within niche boundaries. Expanding the study of niche conservatism to explore changes both at the edge of and within niche boundaries would improve the ability to assess and predict species' invasion risk or sensitivity to

White muscle is generally preferred for stable isotope analysis of fishes. However, obtaining white muscle tissue typically requires lethal take or invasive sampling techniques, which are undesirable for small-bodied species or those of conservation concern.

To understand the carbon sink role of drylands, this study used different sources of global dryland gross primary productivity (GPP) and evaluated the spatiotemporal variations in seasonal GPP in response to climatic and soil water conditions from 1982 to 2018. Root-zone soil moisture consistently exerted a predominant positive influence on dryland GPP across all seasons, while the effect of surface soil moisture was less influential. Maximum temperature (Tmax) ranked as the second most influential factor on GPP, switching from a notable positive effect during cooler seasons to a negative impact during warmer seasons. Similarly, during cool seasons, vapor pressure deficit exhibited a notable positive effect on GPP, but this influence became negative in warmer seasons. Tmax indirectly regulated GPP by modulating the influence of other meteorological factors. During the warm season, Tmax negatively affected GPP via VPD, while in the cold season, it positively affected GPP through VPD. This study explicitly identifies the pivotal role of root-zone soil moisture in determining GPP and highlights the substantial seasonal differences and regulatory role of temperature in how other environmental variables influence GPP. These findings provide a novel perspective for understanding the responses of dryland ecosystems to climate change.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.gloplacha.2025.105133","usgsCitation":"Lan, L., Munson, S.M., Yu, K., Fang, Z., Chen, X., Zhao, W., Sun, S., Wang, Z., He, F., and Liang, Y., 2025, Seasonal increases in global dryland gross primary production are modulated by root soil moisture and temperature: Global and Planetary Change, v. 255, 105133, 12 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloplacha.2025.105133.","productDescription":"105133, 12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-178265","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497828,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"255","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lan, Lihua","contributorId":364524,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lan","given":"Lihua","affiliations":[{"id":86835,"text":"Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952816,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Munson, Seth M. 0000-0002-2736-6374 smunson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2736-6374","contributorId":220026,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Munson","given":"Seth","email":"smunson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":952817,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Yu, Kailiang","contributorId":221398,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Yu","given":"Kailiang","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":40362,"text":"Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952818,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Fang, Zhongxiang","contributorId":364525,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fang","given":"Zhongxiang","affiliations":[{"id":86838,"text":"Institute of Geography, Augsburg University, Augsburg, Germany","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952819,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Chen, Xiuzhi","contributorId":364526,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Chen","given":"Xiuzhi","affiliations":[{"id":86839,"text":"e Guangdong Province Data Center of Terrestrial and Marine Ecosystems Carbon Cycle, School of Atmospheric Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, China","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952820,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Zhao, Weiguang","contributorId":150211,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zhao","given":"Weiguang","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":12433,"text":"China University of Geosciences","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952821,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Sun, Siao","contributorId":364528,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sun","given":"Siao","affiliations":[{"id":86835,"text":"Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952823,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Wang, Zhenbo","contributorId":364527,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wang","given":"Zhenbo","affiliations":[{"id":86835,"text":"Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952822,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"He, Fei","contributorId":305412,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"He","given":"Fei","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6754,"text":"University of Missouri","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952824,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Liang, Yuan","contributorId":364529,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Liang","given":"Yuan","affiliations":[{"id":86835,"text":"Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952825,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10}]}}

Substantial time and effort are usually required to prepare images. Here, we present a novel and streamlined compositing algorithm that ingests Landsat Collection 2 Analysis Ready Data (ARD) and outputs cloud-free and gap-free composite imagery, which can be directly used for classification. This method leverages and improves the previous National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Virtual Median Value Point (VMVP) compositing method, the first part of the image preparation for NLCD 2019 operational production. The NLCD 2019 image preparation approach includes a second part, a residual cloud and cloud shadow detection and gap-filling method, to produce final cloud-free and gap-free composite imagery. The second part requires one clear reference image for each target year. Additional reference images are needed for producing reasonable observations for perennial ice/snow areas because Pixel QA (Quality Assessment) from ARD has difficulties differentiating ice/snow areas from clouds. Unlike the NLCD 2019 image preparation approach, our new compositing method, which is referred to as Automated VMVP (AVMVP), uses Landsat ARD as the only input and does not require reference images and extra steps. In this method, we developed new spectral filter criteria coupled with counts of clear observations using Pixel QA to identify potential cloud and cloud shadow observations on initially selected observations from the NLCD VMVP compositing algorithm. We also automate “gap-filling” using clear observations retrieved from a maximum of ±2 years around the target year when needed. Finally, a percentile-filtered compositing method was developed for the perennial ice/snow areas. All these steps are streamlined, pixel-based, and directly run on Landsat Collection 2 ARD. We have run successful tests on the conterminous United States (CONUS). Composite images derived from our innovative method were used to produce the CONUS Annual NLCD Collection 1 product suite that covers the period from 1985 to 2023.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jag.2025.104920","usgsCitation":"Jin, S., Robinson, T., Dewitz, J., Smith, K., Danielson, P., and Postma, K., 2025, An

However, across the world, they are rapidly being degraded or lost through human activities, particularly urban development. This degradation and loss have negative consequences for the structure and function of headwater streams, as well as downstream river networks. Despite long-held recognition of the ecological value of headwater streams and the impacts of their widespread loss, there remains a large gap between developing strategies and tangible action. To address this gap, we, a group of cross-disciplinary researchers and practitioners from multiple organizations and locations, developed a framework to guide strategic decision-making and a comprehensive set of structural and nonstructural tools that can be used to protect headwater streams in urbanizing areas where opportunities to protect waterway health are being considered by local waterway practitioners and the community. The framework was tested by applying it to 4 contrasting case studies of urbanization with different physiographic, policy, and legislative settings. Our evaluation showed that the framework provides a useful generic mechanism that can be used by policymakers, planners, and other stakeholders to diagnose the status of headwater stream protection in a variety of urban areas and to support structured stakeholder conversations about what is desirable, practical, and achievable for their context.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Chicago Press","doi":"10.1086/737826","usgsCitation":"Hatt, B., Athapaththu, C., Behrens, J., Boer, S., Burns, M.J., Burrows, R., de Jong, R., Elsner, C., Grey, V., Imberger, M., Williams, B., and Coleman, R., 2025, Practical pathways for protecting headwater streams in urbanizing areas: Freshwater Science, v. 44, no. 4, p. 546-567, https://doi.org/10.1086/737826.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"546","endPage":"567","ipdsId":"IP-168010","costCenters":[{"id":470,"text":"New Jersey Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496905,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"44","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hatt, Belinda","contributorId":360971,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hatt","given":"Belinda","affiliations":[{"id":29920,"text":"The University of Melbourne","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948041,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Athapaththu, Chamantha","contributorId":360972,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Athapaththu","given":"Chamantha","affiliations":[{"id":86134,"text":"Hydrobiology Qld Pty Ltd","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948042,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Behrens, Jonathan","contributorId":360974,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Behrens","given":"Jonathan","affiliations":[{"id":12643,"text":"Duke University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948043,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Boer, Sally","contributorId":360975,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Boer","given":"Sally","affiliations":[{"id":86136,"text":"E2Designlab","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948044,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Burns, Matthew J.","contributorId":146251,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Burns","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":16645,"text":"Waterway Ecosystem Research Group, School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences, The","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948045,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Burrows, Ryan","contributorId":295995,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Burrows","given":"Ryan","affiliations":[{"id":13336,"text":"University of Melbourne","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948046,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"de Jong, Riley","contributorId":360977,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"de Jong","given":"Riley","affiliations":[{"id":86138,"text":"Bligh Tanner","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948047,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Elsner, Caroline","contributorId":360978,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Elsner","given":"Caroline","affiliations":[{"id":86139,"text":"City of Launceston","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948048,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Grey, Vaughn","contributorId":360979,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Grey","given":"Vaughn","affiliations":[{"id":29920,"text":"The University of Melbourne","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948049,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9},{"text":"Imberger, Moss","contributorId":346638,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Imberger","given":"Moss","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":29920,"text":"The University of Melbourne","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948050,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":10},{"text":"Williams, Brianna M. 0000-0003-3389-8251","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3389-8251","contributorId":204714,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Williams","given":"Brianna","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":470,"text":"New Jersey Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":948051,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":11},{"text":"Coleman, Rhys","contributorId":360980,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Coleman","given":"Rhys","affiliations":[{"id":29920,"text":"The University of Melbourne","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":948052,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":12}]}}

Despite their ecological significance, predation and competition remain understudied in plains spotted skunks (<i>Spilogale interrupta</i>), a species of conservation concern. Clarifying how predator management influences their occurrence is crucial for effective conservation.</p><div class=\"title\">Aims</div><p>We investigated how coyote (<i>Canis latrans</i>) management affects the occupancy of plains spotted skunks and whether interspecific interactions with domestic cats (<i>Felis catus</i>) and striped skunks (<i>Mephitis mephitis</i>) influence plains spotted skunk occurrence.</p><div class=\"title\">Methods</div><p>We analysed live-trap data from east-central South Dakota collected in spring of 2021 and 2022. The study area encompassed portions of counties that implemented disparate predator management regimes, including one with systematic annual coyote removal and another without. We used single-species occupancy models to estimate detection and occupancy probabilities for plains spotted skunks, domestic cats, and striped skunks, incorporating environmental factors, including the site-specific predator control regime. We then applied conditional two-species occupancy models to test whether cats and striped skunks influenced plains spotted skunk occurrence.</p><div class=\"title\">Key results</div><p>Plains spotted skunks had the lowest occupancy, followed by domestic cats, and striped skunks. Our findings showed significant associations between coyote removal and occupancy probabilities for each mesocarnivore species. Plains spotted skunks had higher occupancy in areas where coyotes were annually removed. Spotted skunk occurrence was not conditional on either domestic cat or striped skunk occurrence.</p><div class=\"title\">Conclusions</div><p>In our study system, cats appear to pose less predation risk to spotted skunks than do other predators, reducing the likelihood that cats significantly influence spotted skunk occupancy.

Lake sturgeon (<i>Acipenser fulvescens</i>) is a species of special concern in the Laurentian Great Lakes that are long-lived and generally classified as intermittent, adfluvial spawners. Observations of lake sturgeon movements at ecologically relevant spatiotemporal scales have shown that migration behavior often varies among individuals within the same population. However, studies on individual populations, particularly when focused only on a part of the life cycle (e.g., often spawning), provide just a partial understanding of the species’ full migratory scope and processes underlying expression of different migratory behaviors. To better understand lake sturgeon migratory diversity, we characterized and compared migratory behaviors of six lake sturgeon populations occupying environments that varied in habitat availability and connectivity in different Laurentian Great Lakes.</p><h3 class=\"c-article__sub-heading\" data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Methods</h3><p>Sequence analysis combined with agglomerative hierarchical clustering and visual inspection of daily location data were used to identify distinct lake sturgeon migratory behaviors present in each population.</p><h3 class=\"c-article__sub-heading\" data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>Seven distinct migratory behaviors were identified based on differential patterns of lake and river use that encompass spawning and other seasonal periods. Behaviors were categorized as annual spring river, intermittent spring river, intermittent two-step, annual summer river, annual winter river, and annual interlake migrants along with river residents. The presence and frequency of migratory behaviors varied substantially among populations.</p><h3 class=\"c-article__sub-heading\" data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Conclusions</h3><p>Our study demonstrated that migratory diversity is a general feature of lake sturgeon life history that may be partially shaped by habitat availability and connectivity. Given these results, we propose a conceptual model that links habitat availability and connectivity to migratory diversity and predict a positive association between them. This updated framework provides a cohesive basis for understanding lake sturgeon migratory behavior across variable ecological contexts in the Laurentian Great Lakes and will help promote future research to refute or refine the model.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer Nature","doi":"10.1186/s40462-025-00585-y","usgsCitation":"Fissette, S.D., Krueger, C.C., O'Connor, L.M., Pratt,

We examined spatial patterns of heat exposure along the ~560-kilometer length of FCR and the mortality of two ecologically important, critically endangered reef-building corals. Sea surface temperatures were ≥31°C for an average of 40.7 days, leading to heat exposures 2.2- to fourfold higher than all prior years on record.

Here, statistical analysis of a global dataset demonstrates that zircon geochemistry is a powerful recorder of REE metallogenesis and a potential pathfinder for REE deposits. Zircons from REE and Nb fertile intrusions lack Eu anomalies and have elevated Gd/Yb and Th/Yb, indicating they crystallised from magmas that originated from deep, oxidised and enriched mantle sources. Complexes with Nb enrichment have low U/Nb, reflecting an enriched mantle source, whereas high U/Nb in REE-only fertile intrusions suggest a subduction-metasomatised mantle source. Machine learning models demonstrate high accuracy in classifying zircon from barren and fertile deposits. Classification of detrital zircons shows that REE-enriched deposits correlate with supercontinent assembly, whereas Nb fertile complexes are associated with supercontinent breakup.

The iconic greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) is central to conservation within the North American sagebrush ecosystem, yet its vulnerability to climate effects remains poorly understood. We used hierarchical models to explore weather and climatic influences on sage-grouse across nearly four decades, focusing first on pattern (population change), then process (demographic life stage). We quantified eight indicators of temperature and/or moisture conditions across time lags of 0–1.5 years leading up to current year breeding activities. Sage-grouse population growth tended to increase following above-average growing season precipitation. Precipitation or drought timing influenced whether process effects were positive or negative. More summer and/or fall moisture corresponded with increases in subsequent year brood and adult survival, while concurrent seasonal drought led to reductions in nest survival. Positive concurrent spring drought associations with adult and brood survival were largely outweighed by positive prior year moisture effects. Density-dependence and indirect effects of precipitation through vegetation and forage resource pathways likely contributed to nuanced responses across life stages. Our research improves mechanistic understanding of this indicator species’ sensitivity to climatic factors, while reinforcing the importance of large-scale conservation initiatives for sagebrush ecosystems.","language":"English","publisher":"Nature","doi":"10.1038/s41598-025-20796-y","usgsCitation":"O’Neil, S.T., Lundblad, C.G., Brussee, B.E., Tull, J.C., Casazza, M.L., Small, J.R., Aldridge, C.L., and Coates, P., 2025, Precipitation timing mediates life-stage and population-level associations with climate for an indicator species: Scientific Reports, v. 15, 37051, 19 p., https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-20796-y.","productDescription":"37051, 19 p.","ipdsId":"IP-171093","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":498455,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-20796-y","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":498322,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"15","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"O’Neil, Shawn T. 0000-0002-0899-5220","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0899-5220","contributorId":206589,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"O’Neil","given":"Shawn","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953274,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lundblad, Carl Gregory 0000-0001-7925-9055","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7925-9055","contributorId":346421,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lundblad","given":"Carl","email":"","middleInitial":"Gregory","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953275,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brussee, Brianne E.","contributorId":364830,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brussee","given":"Brianne","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":24583,"text":"former USGS employee","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953276,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Tull, John Christopher 0000-0002-0680-008X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0680-008X","contributorId":364832,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tull","given":"John","middleInitial":"Christopher","affiliations":[{"id":41166,"text":"Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953277,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Casazza, Michael L.","contributorId":364834,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Casazza","given":"Michael","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":7065,"text":"USGS emeritus","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953278,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Small, Justin R.","contributorId":364835,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Small","given":"Justin","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":85566,"text":"NDOW","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":953279,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Aldridge, Cameron L. 0000-0003-3926-6941 aldridgec@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3926-6941","contributorId":191773,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Aldridge","given":"Cameron","email":"aldridgec@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":953280,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Coates, Peter S. 0000-0003-2672-9994","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2672-9994","contributorId":352181,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Coates","given":"Peter S.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":953281,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Seasonal and long-term changes in the availability of bathythermal habitat can cause behavioral responses that have consequences for managing interjurisdictional fisheries that target migratory fishes. Management of such fisheries typically relies on standardized surveys to provide knowledge of stock status, yet changes in fish behavior may complicate interpretation of survey results. For example, changes in bathythermal habitat selection could uncouple fish availability from surveys designed to intercept migrating fish in predefined bathythermal habitats.</p><h3 class=\"c-article__sub-heading\" data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Methods</h3><p>We applied electronic tagging methods to Lake Erie walleye (<i>Sander vitreus</i>) to address spatial management and stock assessment questions regarding bathythermal habitat. Specifically, we sought to determine if bathythermal habitat use varied in relation to body size, season, and time of day, with a particular focus on how these may influence availability to fisheries-independent surveys conducted during September-November.</p><h3 class=\"c-article__sub-heading\" data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>As predicted, bathythermal habitat distribution fluctuated substantially throughout the year, was most limited during spawning months, and most expansive during fall migration. During the summer stratified months, walleye primarily selected epilimnetic habitats, despite the prevailing notion that colder hypolimnetic waters would be preferred during this time.</p><h3 class=\"c-article__sub-heading\" data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Conclusions</h3><p>While our results did not support a previous hypothesis that smaller fish were more available to assessment survey gears, our results did support previous assertions that walleye were more active and available to suspended gill nets during late crepuscular periods in fall. Considering uncertainties in water quality and long-term warming trends, our case study could improve decisions regarding spatial management of this species in the context of independent water quality management objectives.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"BMC","doi":"10.1186/s40462-025-00570-5","usgsCitation":"Kraus, R., Faust, M., Colborne, S.F., and Vandergoot, C., 2025, Linking bathythermal habitat selection to management of a migratory freshwater fish: Movement Ecology, v. 13, 76, 16 p., https://doi.org/10.1186/s40462-025-00570-5.","productDescription":"76, 16 p.","ipdsId":"IP-169243","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496723,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s40462-025-00570-5","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":496546,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States, Canada","otherGeospatial":"Detroit River, Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -78.60511028915917,\n              43.124830511606035\n            ],\n            [\n              -83.65975266356337,\n              43.124830511606035\n            ],\n            [\n              -83.65975266356337,\n              40.97016521622899\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.60511028915917,\n              40.97016521622899\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.60511028915917,\n              43.124830511606035\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"13","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kraus, Richard 0000-0003-4494-1841","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4494-1841","contributorId":216548,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kraus","given":"Richard","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":950096,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Faust, Matthew","contributorId":268770,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Faust","given":"Matthew","affiliations":[{"id":16232,"text":"Ohio Department of Natural Resources","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950097,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Colborne, Scott F.","contributorId":174737,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Colborne","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":950098,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Vandergoot, Christopher","contributorId":340837,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Vandergoot","given":"Christopher","affiliations":[{"id":6601,"text":"Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":950099,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

This approach to ecosystem assessment is not always straightforward to execute in urban environments and ignores potential connectivity between social and environmental outcomes. During a workshop at the Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology in Brisbane, Australia in 2023 (SUSE6), we developed an approach to urban aquatic ecosystem assessment that incorporates a holistic perspective. Specifically, our approach considers both environmental (biological, chemical, and physical integrity) and social (community connection, human safety, resource use) values of urban waterways. This approach is inclusive of Indigenous perspectives, such as the concept of reciprocity, whereby consideration of both the environment and society leads to a healthy ecosystem. To highlight how this holistic assessment approach could be used, we present real-world examples that included assessing both environmental and societal values informed by reciprocity or balanced perspectives. This approach can be broadly applied and adapted to specific aquatic ecosystem conditions and projects, providing an inclusive, community-centered approach for assessing the health of waterways in urban environments.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"The University of Chicago Press Journals","doi":"10.1086/738639","usgsCitation":"Scoggins, M., Barrett, I.C., Margetts, B.I.,

However, in weakly tidal estuaries, mechanisms governing salt transport remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate salt transport processes in a weakly tidal estuary, Albemarle Sound on the U.S. East Coast, using a deterministic numerical model. In 2022, the volume averaged salinity of Albemarle Sound ranged from ∼2 to 10&nbsp;psu. Although seasonal river discharge typically induces gradual salinity changes of less than 1&nbsp;psu per month, four wind events caused sharp salinity increases of 1–2&nbsp;psu within just a few days. We find that wind pumping, defined as the net salt transport due to temporal correlations between velocity and salinity associated with wind events, is the dominant mechanism contributing to these episodic increases in volume averaged salinity. In Albemarle Sound, wind pumping operates on timescales of several days, which is longer than the tidal timescale, and occurs intermittently throughout the year rather than following a regular repetitive pattern. Our analysis suggests that salt transport by wind pumping is typically an order of magnitude larger than by gravitational circulation and serves as the primary mechanism balancing salt loss from river flow. Isolating wind pumping requires averaging over variability of multiple days, longer than typical tidal averaging. Wind pumping likely also controls material exchange with coastal ocean, influencing biogeochemical processes in the estuary. This mechanism may be important in other systems with similar characteristics, particularly in coastal lagoons with multiple subembayments.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","doi":"10.1029/2025JC022683","usgsCitation":"Yin, D., Ralston, D.K., Warner, J., Ganju, N., and Harris, C.K., 2025, Wind pumping dominates landward salt transport in a weakly tidal estuary: JGR Oceans, v. 130, no. 10, e2025JC022683, 26 p., https://doi.org/10.1029/2025JC022683.","productDescription":"e2025JC022683, 26 p.","ipdsId":"IP-177521","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":504736,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"North Carolina","otherGeospatial":"Albemarle Sound","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -77.5,\n              37\n            ],\n            [\n              -75,\n              37\n            ],\n            [\n              -75,\n              34.3\n            ],\n            [\n              -77.5,\n              34.3\n            ],\n            [\n              -77.5,\n              37\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"130","issue":"10","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-22","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Yin, Dongxiao","contributorId":294535,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Yin","given":"Dongxiao","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":5115,"text":"Louisiana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":962004,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ralston, David K.","contributorId":371544,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ralston","given":"David","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":36711,"text":"Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":962005,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Warner, John C. 0000-0002-3734-8903 jcwarner@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3734-8903","contributorId":2681,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Warner","given":"John C.","email":"jcwarner@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":962006,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Ganju, Neil K. 0000-0002-1096-0465","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1096-0465","contributorId":202878,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ganju","given":"Neil K.","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":962007,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Harris, Courtney K.","contributorId":371547,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harris","given":"Courtney","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":6708,"text":"Virginia Institute of Marine Science","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":962008,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Although loess of last glacial age is common in mid-continental North America, records of last glacial loess in Alaska have been elusive. Here we report a record of last glacial loess on the Seward Peninsula, along with studies of a transect of loess localities also thought to date to the last glacial period. Highly diverse hypotheses on the origin of loess on the Seward Peninsula include local volcanic rocks and mountain ranges to the north and south, as well as offshore deposits. We present particle size and mineralogical and geochemical data that indicate that the most likely sources for loess in this part of eastern Beringia are glaciogenic silt particles of the Kobuk River and Noatak River, both of which drain the Brooks Range to the northeast. Northeasterly paleowinds were therefore responsible for loess on the Seward Peninsula. Such winds probably occurred during late summer or early autumn, when river discharge was at a minimum but temperatures were still above freezing. Northeasterly winds during the last glacial period are in good agreement with a recent paleoclimate model.</span></span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1080/15230430.2025.2564571","usgsCitation":"Muhs, D., and Pigati, J.S., 2025, Geochemical evidence for the origin of late Quaternary loess, Seward Peninsula, Alaska: Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, v. 57, no. 1, 2564571, 35 p., https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2025.2564571.","productDescription":"2564571, 35 p.","ipdsId":"IP-170278","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":499614,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2025.2564571","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":499370,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Seward Peninsula","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -169.55037494280683,\n              66.8388103328742\n            ],\n            [\n              -169.55037494280683,\n              63.980403413505144\n            ],\n            [\n              -159.37080899997525,\n              63.980403413505144\n            ],\n            [\n              -159.37080899997525,\n              66.8388103328742\n            ],\n            [\n              -169.55037494280683,\n              66.8388103328742\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"57","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-10-22","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Muhs, Daniel R. 0000-0001-7449-251X dmuhs@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7449-251X","contributorId":168575,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Muhs","given":"Daniel R.","email":"dmuhs@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":954861,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Pigati, Jeffrey S. 0000-0001-5843-6219 jpigati@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5843-6219","contributorId":201167,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pigati","given":"Jeffrey","email":"jpigati@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":954862,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
