This paper presents a detailed stratigraphic and structural analysis of the uppermost Miocene to lower Pliocene Bouse Formation in the southern Blythe Basin, lower Colorado River valley, where gently dipping and faulted strata provide a record of deformation in the paleo-ECSZ. In the western Trigo Mountains, splaying strands of the Lost Trigo fault zone include a west-dipping normal fault that cuts the Bouse Formation and a steeply NE-dipping oblique dextral-normal fault where an anomalously thick (~140 m) section of Bouse Formation siliciclastic deposits filled a local fault-controlled depocenter. Systematic basinward thickening and stratal wedge geometries in the western Trigo and southeastern Palo Verde Mountains, on opposite sides of the Colorado River valley, record basinward tilting during deposition of the Bouse Formation. We conclude that the southern Blythe Basin formed as a broad transtensional sag basin in a diffuse releasing stepover between the dextral Laguna fault system in the south and the Cibola and Big Maria fault zones in the north. A palinspastic reconstruction at 5 Ma shows that the southern Blythe Basin was part of a diffuse regional network of linked right-step­ping dextral, normal, and oblique-slip faults related to Pacific–North America plate boundary dextral shear. Diffuse transtensional strain linked northward to the Stateline fault system, eastern Garlock fault, and Walker Lane, and southward to the Gulf of California shear zone, which initiated ca. 7–9 Ma, implying a similar age of inception for the paleo-ECSZ.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/GES02337.1","usgsCitation":"Dorsey, R.J., O’Connell, B., Gardner, K., Homan, M.B., Bennett, S.E., Thacker, J., and Darin, M.H., 2021, Tectonostratigraphic record of late Miocene–early Pliocene transtensional faulting in the Eastern California shear zone, southwestern USA: Geosphere, v. 17, no. 4, p. 1101-1125, https://doi.org/10.1130/GES02337.1.","productDescription":"25 p.","startPage":"1101","endPage":"1125","ipdsId":"IP-121877","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":452255,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1130/ges02337.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":385895,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Eastern California shear zone","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -115.72998046875,\n              34.13908837343849\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.14172363281251,\n              35.764343479667176\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.5809326171875,\n              35.27253175660236\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.26831054687501,\n              34.18454183141725\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.72998046875,\n              34.13908837343849\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"17","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-05-14","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dorsey, Rebecca J.","contributorId":167712,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dorsey","given":"Rebecca","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":24813,"text":"University of Oregan","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":816347,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"O’Connell, Brennan","contributorId":200336,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"O’Connell","given":"Brennan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":816348,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gardner, Kevin 0000-0001-8018-4353","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8018-4353","contributorId":258281,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gardner","given":"Kevin","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6604,"text":"University of Oregon","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":816349,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Homan, Mindy B.","contributorId":200337,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Homan","given":"Mindy","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":816350,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Bennett, Scott E.K. 0000-0002-9772-4122 sekbennett@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9772-4122","contributorId":5340,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bennett","given":"Scott","email":"sekbennett@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.K.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":816351,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Thacker, Jacob 0000-0001-7174-6115 jthacker@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7174-6115","contributorId":187771,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Thacker","given":"Jacob","email":"jthacker@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":816352,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Darin, Michael H.","contributorId":200333,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Darin","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":816353,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

The 2018 update of the conterminous U.S. NSHM includes significant changes to the underlying ground motion models (GMMs), most of which are necessary to enable the new multi-period response spectra (MPRS) requirements of seismic design regulations that use hazard results for 22 spectral periods and eight site classes. This article focuses on the GMMs used in the western United States (WUS) and is a companion to a recent article on the GMMs used in the central and eastern United States (CEUS). In the WUS, for crustal and subduction earthquakes, two models used in previous versions of the NSHM are excluded to provide consistency over all considered periods and site classes. To more accurately estimate ground motions at long periods in the vicinity of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, and Seattle, the 2018 NSHM incorporates deep sedimentary basin depth from local seismic velocity models. The subduction GMMs considered lack basin depth terms and are modified to include an additional scale factor to account for this. This article documents the WUS GMMs used in the 2018 NSHM update and provides detail on the changes to GMM medians, aleatory variability, epistemic uncertainty, and site-effect models. It compares each of these components with those considered in prior NSHMs and discusses their total effect on hazard.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Sage

In order to determine which communities are at risk, and in order for those communities to mitigate their risk, communities need to know whether they are in or near volcano hazard zones and have basic information about the hazards within those zones. In addition, individuals need to know whether they live in, work or go to school in, or cross volcano hazard zones as part of their routine so they can plan for what to do in the event of an eruption.</p><p>The purpose of this product is to serve as a starting point for dialogue with Indian Tribes of the Pacific Northwest who may be at risk from future volcanic eruptions. The map shows Tribal land boundaries and land-based volcano hazard zones, allowing Tribes to determine quickly if they are at risk from these hazards. A rose diagram in the map explanation shows typical Pacific Northwest wind directions and, hence, the most likely directions airborne material (tephra) from explosive eruptions will travel (primarily to the northeast, east, and southeast). We also provide basic information about the hazards and simple protective actions to take during unrest and eruptions, guidance for finding information about current volcanic activity and preparedness, and additional resources.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/gip209","collaboration":"Prepared in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Tribal Relations","usgsCitation":"Gardner, C.A., and Bard, J.A., 2021, How would a volcanic eruption affect your Tribe?: U.S. Geological Survey General Information Product 209, https://doi.org/10.3133/gip209.","productDescription":"1 Sheet: 66.00 x 36.00 inches","ipdsId":"IP-120998","costCenters":[{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":385548,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/0209/covrthb.jpg"},{"id":385549,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/0209/gip209.pdf","size":"17 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Oregon, Washington","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -125.41992187499999,\n              41.902277040963696\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.38867187500001,\n              41.902277040963696\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.38867187500001,\n              48.980216985374994\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.41992187499999,\n              48.980216985374994\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.41992187499999,\n              41.902277040963696\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p><a data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/volcano/connect\" href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/volcano/connect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volcano Hazards Program</a>&nbsp; <br><a data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/cascades-volcano-observatory\" href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/cascades-volcano-observatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cascades Volcano Observatory</a>&nbsp; <br><a data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/\" href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Geological Survey</a>&nbsp; <br>1300 SE Cardinal Court&nbsp; <br>Vancouver, Washington, 98683-9589</p>","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"publishedDate":"2021-05-10","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-05-10","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gardner, Cynthia A. 0000-0002-6214-6182 cgardner@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6214-6182","contributorId":1959,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gardner","given":"Cynthia","email":"cgardner@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":815367,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bard, Joseph A. 0000-0003-3143-4007 jbard@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3143-4007","contributorId":5590,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bard","given":"Joseph","email":"jbard@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":615,"text":"Volcano Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":815368,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The earthquake produced surface rupture distributed across a 28-km-long zone along the eastward projection of the Candelaria fault in the Mina deflection of the central Walker Lane. Post-event field surveys mapped surface ruptures and measured displacements, which reached up to ~20 cm of oblique slip. Additional detailed mapping was completed using centimeter-resolution orthomosaics generated from Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle surveys. The rupture observations and displacement data are compiled into this 1:14,000-scale map, data tables, and accompanying digital dataset. The rupture consists of two distinct deformational domains roughly separated by U.S. Highway 95: ENE-trending ruptures with normal and left-oblique displacements in the western domain, and N- to NNE-trending ruptures with normal and right-oblique displacement in the eastern domain. The complex pattern of surface rupture is consistent with the projections of mapped bedrock and Quaternary faults in the area and illustrates the kinematics of slip partitioning at the junction of variably oriented structures in the shallow subsurface.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"University of Nevada, Reno","usgsCitation":"Dee, S., Koehler, R.D., Elliott, A.J., Hatem, A.E.,

The erupted products of CVF silicic&nbsp;magmatism&nbsp;since ~1 Ma comprise 38 high-silica&nbsp;</span>rhyolite<span>&nbsp;domes, with the volumetric majority (~99%) of rhyolite emplaced within the past ~300 ka. The CVF hosts an economically important geothermal field driven by heat associated with a shallow (~5 km)&nbsp;igneous intrusion. The CVF is potentially an immature analog to the nearby Long Valley system, which culminated in generation and eruption of the voluminous and widespread Bishop&nbsp;Tuff. As such, the CVF represents a considerable volcanic hazard, making a detailed understanding of the eruptive history and pre-eruptive conditions of the system critically important. We present uranium-series isochron dates from&nbsp;zircon&nbsp;±&nbsp;allanite&nbsp;crystal surfaces and zircon trace element geochemical data on the youngest 17 rhyolite domes at Coso, which represent ~60% (by volume) of the silicic&nbsp;magma&nbsp;erupted by the system. These data suggest: (1) a shorter&nbsp;emplacement&nbsp;duration than previously recognized for these domes, with a duration of 20 ± 5 ka; (2) 4 shorter-duration eruption pulses within this interval, all of which occur during the&nbsp;marine isotope stage&nbsp;(MIS) 5 interglacial period; (3) an uptick in the volume of CVF magma erupted between ~200 ka and ~ 78 ka relative to that emplaced over the lifetime of the system; (4) near-coeval eruption of geochemically distinct magma in close geographic proximity, either sourced from different portions of the same magma system at depth or from discrete, uncommunicating bodies; (5) ambiguity with respect to whether or not CVF magmatism is time-predictable, as previously suggested, or erupted as a series of punctuated episodes; (6) no rhyolite&nbsp;volcanism&nbsp;in the past ~78 kyr.</span></p></div></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2021.107276","usgsCitation":"Burgess, S.D.,

To improve conceptual models of groundwater flow and development in the complex hydrogeologic system near Long Canyon Mine, in northwestern Goshute Valley, northeastern Nevada, the U.S. Geological Survey characterized the hydraulic properties of carbonate rocks and basin-fill aquifers using an integrated analysis of steady-state and stressed aquifer conditions informed by water chemistry and aquifer-test data. Hydraulic gradients and groundwater-age data in northern Goshute Valley indicate carbonate rocks in the Pequop Mountains just west and south of the Long Canyon Mine project area constitute a more permeable and active flow system than saturated rocks in the northern Pequop Mountains, western Toano Range, and basin fill. Permeable carbonate rocks in the northern Pequop Mountains, in part, discharge to the Johnson Springs wetland complex (JSWC), where mean groundwater ages range from 500 to 2,400 years and samples all contain a small fraction of modern waters, relative to mean ages of 8,600 to more than 22,000 years for most groundwater sampled to the north and east. Recharge to the JSWC occurs from a roughly 27-square-mile area in the upgradient Pequop Mountains to the west, composed mostly of permeable carbonate rock and fractured quartzite, and bounded by low-permeability shales and marbleized and siliclastic rocks.</p><p class=\"p1\">Single-well aquifer-test analyses provided transmissivity estimates at pumped wells. Transmissivity estimates ranged from 7,000 to 400,000 feet squared per day (ft<sup>2</sup>/d) in carbonate rocks and from 2,000 to 80,000 ft<sup>2</sup>/d in basin fill near the Long Canyon Mine. Water-level drawdown from multiple-well aquifer testing and rise from unintentional leakage into the overlying basin-fill aquifer were estimated and distinguished from natural fluctuations in 93 pumping and monitoring sites using analytical water-level models. Leakage of disposed aquifer-test pumpage occurred south of the aquifer test area through an unlined irrigation ditch. Drawdown was detected at distances of as much as 3 miles (mi) from pumping wells at all but one carbonate-rock site, at basin-fill sites on the alluvial fan immediately downgradient from pumping wells, and in Big Spring and spring NS-05. Similar drawdowns in carbonate rocks within the drawdown detection area suggest all wells penetrate a highly transmissive zone (HTZ) that is bounded by low-permeability rocks. Drawdown was not detected in carbonate rocks to the west of Canyon fault, in any basin-fill sites on the valley floor east of the Hardy fault, or at volcanic sites to the north, indicating that these major fault structures and (or) permeability contrasts between hydrogeologic units impeded groundwater flow or obscured pumping signals. Alternatively, unintentional leakage might have obscured drawdown at basin-fill sites on the valley floor, where water-level rise was detected at nine sites over 3 mi.</p><p class=\"p2\">Consistent hydraulic properties were estimated by simultaneously interpreting steady-state flow during predevelopment conditions and changes in groundwater levels and springflows from the 2016 carbonate-rock aquifer test with an integrated groundwater-flow model. Hydraulic properties were distributed across carbonate rocks, basin fill, volcanic rocks, and siliciclastic rocks with a hydrogeologic framework developed from geologic mapping and hydraulic testing. Estimated transmissivity distributions spanned at least three orders of magnitude in each rock unit. In the HTZ, simulated transmissivities ranged from 10,000 to 23,000,000 ft<sup>2</sup>/d, with the most transmissive areas occurring around Big Spring. Comparatively low carbonate-rock transmissivities of less than 10,000 ft<sup>2</sup>/d were estimated in the northern Pequop Mountains and poorly defined values of less than 1,000 ft<sup>2</sup>/d were estimated in the western Toano Range. Transmissivities in basin fill ranged from less than 10 to 80,000 ft<sup>2</sup>/d and were minimally constrained by the 2016 carbonate-rock aquifer test because poorly quantified leakage affected water levels more so than pumping. The most transmissive areas were informed by single-well aquifer tests along the eastern edge of the Pequop Mountains near Long Canyon Mine and could be indicative of a hydraulic connection between basin fill and more transmissive underlying carbonate rocks. Simulated transmissivities of volcanic and low-permeability rocks mostly are less than 1,000 ft<sup>2</sup>/d.

These changes have come at a cost to fish populations, most notably diadromous species, which rely on connectivity between marine and freshwater systems. These anthropogenic structures can have direct effects on migrating fish, such as blocking fish passage, or have more subtle effects, such as changing movement patterns. This study used a high‐resolution Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar to examine the behavior of Striped Bass<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Morone saxatilis</i>, a large coastal predator, and Alewife<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Alosa pseudoharengus</i><span>&nbsp;</span>and Blueback Herring<span>&nbsp;</span><i>Alosa aestivalis</i><span>&nbsp;</span>(collectively known as river herring), which are forage fish, below a tide gate structure on the Herring River in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, during the river herring spring spawning run. Striped Bass were persistently present downstream of the tide gate and exhibited strong diurnal and tidal patterns. Activity of Striped Bass was highest at night and during ebb tides. During peak outflow periods, river herring were observed milling downstream of the dam in a scour pool, indicating delayed upstream passage. River herring upstream migration was primarily associated with daytime and during incoming tides. Downstream‐migrating river herring were primarily observed during nighttime hours. While it was documented that the tide gates provided a physical impediment to migration, their effect on predator behavior could pose an additional challenge to migrating river herring, further complicating their recovery efforts. Due to the prevalence of obstructed waterways, studying the behavior of fish around anthropogenic structures is important in understanding the full range of impacts that these systems have under varying ecological conditions and on ecological relationships.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","doi":"10.1002/mcf2.10149","usgsCitation":"Rillahan, C.B., Alcott, D., Castro-Santos, T.R., and He, P., 2021, Activity patterns of anadromous fish below a tide gate: Observations from high‐resolution imaging sonar: Marine and Coastal Fisheries: Dynamics, Management, and Ecosystem Science, v. 13, no. 3, p. 200-212, https://doi.org/10.1002/mcf2.10149.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"200","endPage":"212","ipdsId":"IP-122821","costCenters":[{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":452390,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/mcf2.10149","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":385582,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Massachusetts","city":"Wellfleet","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -70.04093170166016,\n              41.921183459336\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.01758575439453,\n              41.921183459336\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.01758575439453,\n              41.94161653083027\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.04093170166016,\n              41.94161653083027\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.04093170166016,\n              41.921183459336\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"13","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rillahan, Christopher B.","contributorId":257974,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rillahan","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":52192,"text":"SMAST","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":815439,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Alcott, Derrick 0000-0001-7765-1889","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7765-1889","contributorId":257975,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Alcott","given":"Derrick","affiliations":[{"id":34616,"text":"University of Massachusetts Amherst","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":815440,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Castro-Santos, Theodore R. 0000-0003-2575-9120 tcastrosantos@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2575-9120","contributorId":3321,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Castro-Santos","given":"Theodore","email":"tcastrosantos@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":815441,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"He, Pingguo","contributorId":257976,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"He","given":"Pingguo","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":815442,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

However, studying diet patterns (e.g., spatial and seasonal changes) can require extensive effort. Using individual analyses to interpret patterns may be further complicated by assumptions and limitations of the analytical approach. We investigated and compared predicted adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) diet composition and patterns using stomach content analysis (SCA), fatty acid analysis (FAS), and stable isotope analysis (SIA) individually and simultaneously. The three analyses were conducted for fall-captured fish in Lake Ontario and provided different diet composition estimates; SCA suggested alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) was dominant by frequency and mass, while FAA and SIA suggested rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) contributed the most based on similarity among fatty acid signatures and two-stable isotope (carbon and nitrogen) mixing models, respectively. We hypothesize the disagreement among diet estimates is a result of a seasonal shift in diet variably expressed due to differing extent of time reflected by the diet metric: hours to days for SCA, weeks to months for FAA and several months for SIA. Despite variability in diet composition estimates among methods, similar patterns in lake trout diet were observed among the three diet analyses; the contribution of alewife in lake trout diet was greater for larger individuals and for males compared to females, particularly in the east and northeast regions of the lake where alewife density was relatively low. Thus, the complementary results from the three analyses suggest that length, location, sex, and season all influence lake trout diet. Individually, analyses often failed to identify these patterns in lake trout diet with significance, and some of the patterns have not been observed in previous studies of lake trout diet in Lake Ontario. The thorough description of lake trout diet obtained from a single sampling season demonstrates how simultaneous use of multiple diet analyses may allow investigation of spatial and seasonal diet composition and with reduced sampling effort.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107728","usgsCitation":"Futia, M.H., Colborne, S.F., Fisk, A., Gorsky, D., Johnson, T.B., Lantry, B.F., Lantry, J., and Rinchard, J., 2021, Comparisons among three diet analyses demonstrate multiple patterns in the estimated adult diet of a freshwater piscivore, Salvelinus namaycush: Ecological Indicators, v. 127, 107728, 12 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107728.","productDescription":"107728, 12 p.","ipdsId":"IP-120076","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":452430,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107728","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":412729,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","otherGeospatial":"Lake Ontario","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -80.67051642015157,\n              43.10662975810362\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.13575754812497,\n              43.10662975810362\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.13575754812497,\n              44.79831104261547\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.67051642015157,\n              44.79831104261547\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.67051642015157,\n              43.10662975810362\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"127","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Futia, Matthew H.","contributorId":208498,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Futia","given":"Matthew","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":37810,"text":"Department of Environmental Science and Ecology, The College at Brockport – State University of New York, 350 New Campus Drive, Brockport, New York","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":863418,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Colborne, Scott F.","contributorId":174737,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Colborne","given":"Scott","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":863419,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Fisk, Aaron T.","contributorId":51604,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fisk","given":"Aaron T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":863420,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gorsky, Dimitry","contributorId":251650,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gorsky","given":"Dimitry","affiliations":[{"id":6661,"text":"US Fish and Wildlife Service","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":863421,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Johnson, Timothy B.","contributorId":49753,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Johnson","given":"Timothy","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":863422,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Lantry, Brian F. 0000-0001-8797-3910 bflantry@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8797-3910","contributorId":3435,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lantry","given":"Brian","email":"bflantry@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":863423,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Lantry, Jana","contributorId":141102,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lantry","given":"Jana","affiliations":[{"id":13678,"text":"New York State Department of Environmental Conservation","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":863424,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Rinchard, Jacques","contributorId":58161,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rinchard","given":"Jacques","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":863425,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Groundwater declines and surface flow reductions that impact aquatic and wetland organisms are common in the western U.S. and increasingly in the eastern U.S. Agriculture is the largest consumptive water user in the U.S. and understanding economic incentives of water-use practices and the legal context of water rights is foundational to identifying meaningful water solutions. In this paper, we provide a brief legal overview of water rights in the U.S. and synthesize the literature to provide a broad overview of how federal farm policy influences water-use decisions. We conclude that the ultimate cause of many water-use conflicts is an inefficient, farm economy that is driven by several proximate factors, of which outdated water laws and subsidies that encourage increased water use are among the most important. Development of multi-scale water budgets to assess project impacts and by working more intensively at local watershed and aquifer scales can improve conservation efforts. Finally, detailed analyses to understand and minimize the impacts of specific federal policies on agricultural water use would enhance water conservation efforts, facilitate long-term food and water security, and provide greater protection for wetland and aquatic resources.","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s13157-021-01449-y","usgsCitation":"King, S.L., Laubbhan, M.,

These trees could have only lived when sea level fell during the Pleistocene subaerially exposing the tectonically stable continental shelf. Here we investigate the geophysical properties along with microfossil and stratigraphical analyses of sediment cores to understand the factors that lead to this wood’s preservation. The stumps are exposed in an elongated depression (~100&nbsp;m long, ~1&nbsp;m deep) nested in a trough of the northwest–southeast trending Holocene sand ridges and troughs with 2–5&nbsp;m vertical relief and ~0.5&nbsp;km wavelength. Radiocarbon ages of the wood were infinite thus optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was used to constrain the site’s age. Below the Holocene sands (~0.1–4&nbsp;m thick), separated by a regional erosional unconformity, are Late Pleistocene mud-peat (72±8&nbsp;ka OSL), mud-sand (63±5, 73±6&nbsp;ka OSL), and palaeosol (56±5&nbsp;ka OSL) facies that grade laterally from west to east, respectively. Foraminiferal analysis reveals the location of the terrestrial-marine transitional layer above the Pleistocene facies in an interbedded sand and mud facies (3940±30 (1σ)&nbsp;</span><sup>14</sup><span>C a BP), which is part of a lower shoreface or marine-dominated estuarine environment. The occurrence of palaeosol and swamp facies of broadly similar ages and elevation suggests the glacial landscape possessed topographic relief that allowed wood, mud and peats to be preserved for ~50&nbsp;ka of subaerial exposure before transitioning to the modern marine environment. We hypothesize that rapid sea-level rise occurring ~60 or ~40&nbsp;ka ago provided opportunities for local flood-plain aggradation to bury the swamp thus preserving the stumps and that other sites may exist in the northern Gulf of Mexico shelf.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/bor.12524","usgsCitation":"DeLong, K., Gonzalez, S., Obelcz, J., Truong, J.T., Bentley, S.J., Xu, K., Reese, C.A., Harley, G.L., Caporaso, A., Shen, Z., and Middleton, B., 2021, Late Pleistocene baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) forest deposit on the continental shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico: Boreas, v. 50, no. 3, p. 871-892, https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12524.","productDescription":"22 p.","startPage":"871","endPage":"892","ipdsId":"IP-109473","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":452440,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://repository.lsu.edu/geo_pubs/1946","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":387806,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi","otherGeospatial":"Northern Gulf of Mexico","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -91.38427734374999,\n              27.0982539061379\n            ],\n            [\n              -84.19921875,\n              27.0982539061379\n            ],\n            [\n              -84.19921875,\n              31.034108344903512\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.38427734374999,\n              31.034108344903512\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.38427734374999,\n              27.0982539061379\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"50","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-05-03","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"DeLong, Kristine L.","contributorId":263459,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"DeLong","given":"Kristine L.","affiliations":[{"id":5115,"text":"Louisiana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820886,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gonzalez, Suyapa","contributorId":263462,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gonzalez","given":"Suyapa","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":5115,"text":"Louisiana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820887,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Obelcz, Jeffrey B.","contributorId":263465,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Obelcz","given":"Jeffrey B.","affiliations":[{"id":53993,"text":"U.S. Naval Research Lab, Stennis Space Center","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820888,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Truong, Jonathan T.","contributorId":263466,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Truong","given":"Jonathan","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":5115,"text":"Louisiana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820889,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Bentley, Samuel J.

There has been a dramatic increase in sericea lespedeza (</span><i>Lespedeza cuneata</i><span>&nbsp;[Dumont] G. Don) coincident with this temporally focused use of prescribed fire in the Flint Hills region. The species is an aggressive invader and a statewide noxious weed in Kansas. Control has generally been attempted using repeated herbicide applications. This approach has not limited proliferation of sericea lespedeza and resulted in collateral damage to nontarget flora and fauna. Alternative timing of prescribed fire has not been evaluated for its control. Our objectives for this 4-yr experiment were to (1) document the effects of prescribed burning during early April, early August, or early September on vigor of sericea lespedeza, standing forage biomass, and basal cover of native graminoids, forbs, and shrubs and (2) measure responses to fire regimes by grassland bird and butterfly communities. Whole-plant dry mass, basal cover, and seed production of sericea lespedeza were markedly less (</span><i>P</i><span>&nbsp;&lt; 0.01) in areas treated with prescribed fire in August or September compared with April. Forage biomass did not differ (</span><i>P</i><span>&nbsp;≥ 0.43) among treatments when measured during July; moreover, frequencies of bare soil, litter, and total basal plant cover were not different (</span><i>P</i><span>&nbsp;≥ 0.29) among treatments. Combined basal covers of C4 grasses, C3 grasses, annual grasses, forbs, and shrubs also did not differ (</span><i>P</i><span>&nbsp;≥ 0.11) between treatments. Densities of grasshopper sparrow (</span><i>Ammodramus savannarum</i><span>), dickcissel (</span><i>Spiza americana</i><span>), and eastern meadowlark (</span><i>Sturnella magna</i><span>) were not negatively affected (</span><i>P</i><span>&nbsp;&gt; 0.10) by midsummer or late-summer fires relative to early-spring fires. There were no differences (</span><i>P</i><span>&nbsp;&gt; 0.10) in densities of grassland-specialist butterfly species across fire regimes. Under the conditions of our experiment, prescribed burning during summer produced no detrimental effects on forage production, desirable nontarget plant species, grassland birds, or butterfly communities but had strong suppressive effects on sericea lespedeza. Additional research is warranted to investigate how to best incorporate late-summer prescribed fire into common grazing-management practices in the Kansas Flint Hills.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Academic","doi":"10.1093/tas/txab079","usgsCitation":"Alexander, J., Fick, W.H., Ogden, S., Haukos, D.A., Lemmon, J., Gatson, G.A., and Olson, K.C., 2021, Effects of prescribed fire timing on vigor of the invasive forb sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), total forage biomass accumulation, plant-community composition, and native fauna on tallgrass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills: Translational Animal Science, v. 5, no. 2, txab079, 16 p., https://doi.org/10.1093/tas/txab079.","productDescription":"txab079, 16 p.","ipdsId":"IP-095662","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":452452,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/tas/txab079","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":396765,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Kansas","county":"Geary County","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -96.99142456054688,\n              39.22693426244916\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.95571899414062,\n              39.22693426244916\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.95571899414062,\n              39.254588032219935\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.99142456054688,\n              39.254588032219935\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.99142456054688,\n              39.22693426244916\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"5","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-05-02","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Alexander, Jonathan","contributorId":273845,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Alexander","given":"Jonathan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":837057,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Fick, Walter H.","contributorId":273077,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fick","given":"Walter","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":48533,"text":"ksu","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":837056,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ogden, Sarah","contributorId":273076,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ogden","given":"Sarah","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":48533,"text":"ksu","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":837055,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Haukos, David A. 0000-0001-5372-9960 dhaukos@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5372-9960","contributorId":3664,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haukos","given":"David","email":"dhaukos@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":837052,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lemmon, Jack","contributorId":273844,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lemmon","given":"Jack","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":837054,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Gatson, Garth A.","contributorId":273846,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gatson","given":"Garth","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":837053,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Olson, K.

The specific role environmental context plays in genetic structuring is important to conservation practitioners working with rare species across areas with varying degrees of fragmentation. We investigated fine-scale genetic patterns of the federally threatened Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake (</span><i>Sistrurus catenatus</i><span>) on a relatively undisturbed island in northern Michigan, USA. This species often persists in habitat islands throughout much of its distribution due to extensive habitat loss and distance-limited dispersal. We found that the entire island population exhibited weak genetic structuring with spatially segregated variation in effective migration and genetic diversity. The low level of genetic structuring contrasts with previous studies in the southern part of the species’ range at comparable fine scales (~7&nbsp;km), in which much higher levels of structuring were documented. The island population's genetic structuring more closely resembles that of populations from Ontario, Canada, that occupy similarly intact habitats. Intrapopulation variation in effective migration and genetic diversity likely corresponds to the presence of large inland lakes acting as barriers and more human activity in the southern portion of the island. The observed genetic structuring in this intact landscape suggests that the Eastern Massasauga is capable of sufficient interpatch movements to reduce overall genetic structuring and colonize new habitats. Landscape mosaics with multiple habitat patches and localized barriers (e.g., large water bodies or roads) will promote gene flow and natural colonization for this declining species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ece3.7480","usgsCitation":"Kudla, N., McCluskey, E.M., Lulla, V., Grundel, R., and Moore, J.A., 2021, Intact landscape

In 1994, the Retsof salt mine, the largest of its kind in the western hemisphere, underwent a catastrophic roof collapse that resulted in groundwater inflow from the valley-fill aquifer system and bedrock fracture zones into the mine through two bedrock-rubble chimneys and the subsequent dissolution and filling of the mine with saturated brine. Since the early 2000s, except for a period of remedial pumping in 2006 to 2013, high-salinity water has migrated upward through the rubble chimneys into the basal part the aquifer system. The extent of saline-water migration within the aquifer system had not been evaluated since the end of remedial pumping when all the monitoring wells were grouted shut and abandoned. Installation of a monitoring-well network would be expensive and difficult given the thickness and heterogeneous character of valley fill. An investigation of the current extent of saline water in the aquifer system was warranted because the basal part of the aquifer is shallow to the north and it is used for water supply.</p><p>In fall 2016 and fall 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey collected time-domain electromagnetic soundings at 105 sites along 13 cross-valley transects north and south of the mine-collapse area, east of Piffard, and on the Fowlerville Moraine. The time-domain electromagnetic soundings were colocated with passive-seismic measurements to estimate the bedrock-surface elevation through use of a regression equation developed from measurements at well sites with reported bedrock depths in the study area. An integrated analysis of the time-domain electromagnetic soundings with the depth-to-bedrock estimates, well logs, and past chloride-monitoring data suggests the presence of a zone of high electrical conductivity associated with saline water in the confined lower part of the valley-fill aquifer system. This high-salinity zone delineated in the lower confined aquifer extends from the mine-collapse area northward for more than 2.5 miles (4.0 kilometers). The chloride concentration in groundwater within this high-conductivity zone may be about 20,000 milligrams per liter. Saline water flowing upward through the bedrock-rubble chimneys and mixing with northward groundwater flow in the lower confined aquifer likely is a major source of chlorides for this high-conductivity zone. The northern extent of the zone is unclear because of the presence of highly saline water zones that were delineated by time-domain electromagnetic soundings in the lower confined aquifer and uppermost bedrock and are probably associated with historic salt-solution wells in Piffard or possibly sourced from natural brine pools.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological

The coastal bluffs consist of a variably thick, sandy surficial material overlying flat-lying, mostly non-indurated Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments, including some low-permeability glauconitic units. The bluffs have been affected by both historical deep-seated and shallow landslide movement, the latter typically related to heavy, relatively long-duration rainfall associated with tropical cyclones and nor'easters. The shallow hydrological response during the rare cloudburst was captured at two hydrological monitoring sites and yielded insights into rapidly changing moisture conditions resulting in slope failure.

Additionally, these actions vary in feasibility, effectiveness, and cost. We sought to provide a way to optimize resource allocation to address multiple threats when multiple management options are available, including mutually exclusive options. Formulating the decision as a combinatorial optimization problem, our framework takes as inputs the expected impact and cost of each threat for each action (including do nothing) and for each overall budget identifies the optimal action to take for each threat. We compared the optimal solution to an easy to calculate greedy algorithm approximation and a variety of plausible ranking schemes. We applied the framework to management of multiple introduced plant species in Australian alpine areas. We developed a model of invasion to predict the expected impact in 50 years for each species‐action combination that accounted for each species’ current invasion state (absent, localized, widespread); arrival probability; spread rate; impact, if present, of each species; and management effectiveness of each species‐action combination. We found that the recommended action for a threat changed with budget; there was no single optimal management action for each species; and considering more than one candidate action can substantially increase the management plan's overall efficiency. The approximate solution (solution ranked by marginal cost‐effectiveness) performed well when the budget matched the cost of the prioritized actions, indicating that this approach would be effective if the budget was set as part of the prioritization process. The ranking schemes varied in performance, and achieving a close to optimal solution was not guaranteed. Global sensitivity analysis revealed a threat's expected impact and, to a lesser extent, management effectiveness were the most influential parameters, emphasizing the need to focus research and monitoring efforts on their quantification.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/cobi.13748","usgsCitation":"Moore, J., Camaclang, A., Moore, A.L., Hauser, C.E., Runge, M.C., Picheny, V., and Rumpff, L., 2021, A framework for allocating conservation resources among multiple threats and actions: Conservation Biology, v. 35, no. 5, p. 1639-1649, https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.13748.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"1639","endPage":"1649","ipdsId":"IP-113968","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":50464,"text":"Eastern Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":452548,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.13748","text":"External Repository"},{"id":385526,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"35","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-04-28","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Moore, Joslin L.","contributorId":257914,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Moore","given":"Joslin L.","affiliations":[{"id":27278,"text":"Monash University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":815275,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Camaclang, Abbey E","contributorId":257916,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Camaclang","given":"Abbey E","affiliations":[{"id":27278,"text":"Monash University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":815276,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Moore, Alana L.","contributorId":194047,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Moore","given":"Alana","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":815277,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hauser, Cindy E","contributorId":257918,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hauser","given":"Cindy","email":"","middleInitial":"E","affiliations":[{"id":27278,"text":"Monash University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":815278,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Runge, Michael C. 0000-0002-8081-536X mrunge@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8081-536X","contributorId":3358,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Runge","given":"Michael","email":"mrunge@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":815279,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Picheny, Victor","contributorId":257920,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Picheny","given":"Victor","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":52173,"text":"Unite de Mathematiques et Informatique Appliquees","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":815280,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Rumpff, Libby","contributorId":197117,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rumpff","given":"Libby","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":815281,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

This period includes an episode of heightened activity in April and May 2015 that culminated in a magmatic intrusion beneath the volcano's summit. The data set consists of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), tilt, visual and seismic time series along with 25 descending and 15 ascending acquisitions of the Sentinel-1 satellite. We identify four different stages of surface deformation and volcanic activity, which we attribute to pressure changes and the movement of magma in response to an imbalance between magma supply and withdrawal in the shallow plumbing system, eventually leading to an intrusion beneath the summit area. In particular, we model the deformation as due to pressure changes in two subsurface magma bodies: the Halema‘uma‘u Reservoir (HMMR) and South Caldera Reservoir (SCR). The SCR was best described by an ellipsoidal source at 2.8 (2.65–3.07 at 95% confidence) km depth below the south caldera region. The HMMR was modeled as a point source located just east of Halema‘uma‘u crater at 1.5 (0.95–2.62) km depth. We suggest that a short-term increase in the magma supply rate to the volcano is a potential mechanisms for the intrusion, although other factors, like the filling of available void space or a reduced efficiency of magma transport through the volcano's East Rift Zone, may also play a role.</p></div></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2021.107250","usgsCitation":"Bemelmans, M., de Zeeuw-van Dalfsen, E., Poland, M., and Johanson, I.A., 2021, Insight into the May 2015 summit inflation event at Kīlauea Volcano, Hawai‘i: Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, v. 415, 107250, 13 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2021.107250.","productDescription":"107250, 13 p.","ipdsId":"IP-123773","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":452577,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:a5ae70a6-9edd-409a-b3d6-cfa9a3bf0f03","text":"External Repository"},{"id":397683,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawaii","otherGeospatial":"Kīlauea Volcano","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -155.32814025878906,\n              19.37593175537523\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.21827697753906,\n              19.37593175537523\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.21827697753906,\n              19.458823317103146\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.32814025878906,\n              19.458823317103146\n            ],\n            [\n              -155.32814025878906,\n              19.37593175537523\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"415","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bemelmans, M.","contributorId":289338,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bemelmans","given":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":17614,"text":"Delft University of Technology","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":838950,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"de Zeeuw-van Dalfsen, Elske 0000-0003-2527-4932","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2527-4932","contributorId":217967,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"de Zeeuw-van Dalfsen","given":"Elske","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":39727,"text":"KNMI","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":838951,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Poland, Michael 0000-0001-5240-6123","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5240-6123","contributorId":49920,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Poland","given":"Michael","affiliations":[{"id":336,"text":"Hawaiian Volcano Observatory","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":838952,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Johanson, Ingrid A. 0000-0002-6049-2225","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6049-2225","contributorId":215613,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johanson","given":"Ingrid","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":838953,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Global change (i.e., changing climate and increasing human impact) is currently influencing scavenger communities. Thus, understanding what promotes species richness in scavenger communities can help prioritize management actions. Using a long-term dataset from camera traps deployed with animal carcasses as bait along a 1881 km latitudinal gradient in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern USA, we investigated the relative impact of climate and humans on the species richness and diversity of vertebrate scavengers. Our most supported models for both mammalian and avian scavengers included climatic, but not human, variables. The richness of mammalian and avian scavengers detected was highest during relatively warm (5–10°C) and dry (100–150 mm precipitation) winters, when food was likely limited and both reliance on and detection of carrion was high. The diversity of mammalian and avian scavengers detected was highest under drier conditions. We then used these results to project the future species richness of scavengers that would be detected within our sampling area and under the climate scenario of 2070 (emissions level RCP8.5). Our predictions suggest up to 80% and 67% reductions, respectively, in the richness of avian and mammalian scavengers that would be detected at baited sites. Climate-induced shifts in behavior (i.e., reduction in scavenging, even if present) at this scale could have cascading implications for ecosystem function, resilience, and human health. Further, our study highlights the importance of conducting studies of scavenger community dynamics within ecosystems across wide spatial gradients within temperate environments. More broadly, these findings build upon our understanding of the impacts of climate-induced adjustments in behavior that can likely have negative impacts on systems at a large scale.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/gcb.15653","usgsCitation":"Marneweck, C.J., Katzner, T., and Jachowski, D., 2021, Predicted climate-induced reductions in scavenging in eastern North America: Global Change Biology, v. 27, no. 14, p. 3383-3394, https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15653.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"3383","endPage":"3394","ipdsId":"IP-125016","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":387282,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Appalachian Mountains","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -70.48828125,\n              45.27488643704891\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.673828125,\n              43.26120612479979\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.8154296875,\n              40.34654412118006\n            ],\n            [\n              -83.75976562499999,\n              38.06539235133249\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.8701171875,\n              36.94989178681327\n            ],\n            [\n              -77.0361328125,\n              39.027718840211605\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.0703125,\n              42.48830197960227\n            ],\n            [\n              -69.60937499999999,\n              44.68427737181225\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.48828125,\n              45.27488643704891\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"27","issue":"14","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-05-10","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Marneweck, Courtney J. 0000-0002-5064-1979","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5064-1979","contributorId":261261,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Marneweck","given":"Courtney","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":7084,"text":"Clemson University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":819615,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Katzner, Todd E. 0000-0003-4503-8435 tkatzner@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4503-8435","contributorId":191353,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Katzner","given":"Todd E.","email":"tkatzner@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":819616,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jachowski, David S.","contributorId":228814,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jachowski","given":"David S.","affiliations":[{"id":7084,"text":"Clemson University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":819617,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Interpretations of the region’s tectonic history have historically been hampered by extensive Pleistocene glacial and Paleozoic sedimentary cover and a lack of appropriate geophysical data. These rifting and orogenic events formed geologic effects that are readily mappable with modern geophysical methods. New aeromagnetic and gravity data provide a critical means of mapping and interpreting the complex geological framework through cover, allowing development of significantly richer geographical and process-based perspectives on all these tectonic events. Interpretations of Precambrian contacts and structure are here, for the first time, carried &gt;30&nbsp;km eastward under Paleozoic cover. Effects of ~2.1&nbsp;Ga rifting are strongly expressed geophysically, including the Dickinson Group, perhaps a unique record of the progression of rift-related sedimentation and magmatism, shown here to be a geographically extensive and largely concealed tectonic feature of the southern Superior Province. The geophysical evidence for plausible ~2.1&nbsp;Ga rift-related intrusive magmatism includes a previously unrecognized swarm of northeast-striking mafic dikes cutting Archean rocks and gravity lows produced by granites. Effects of the ~1.87–1.83&nbsp;Ga Penokean orogeny include gravity and magnetic gradients and pattern breaks along the Niagara fault zone suture, abundant evidence for thin-skinned thrusting and folding in the Menominee iron district, and speculative emplacement of an allochthonous sedimentary sequence in the Calumet trough. Numerous east–west trending structures imaged geophysically likely originated, or were significantly reactivated by, post-Penokean deformation. Metamorphic events at ~1.76&nbsp;Ga and ~1.65&nbsp;Ga may correspond to orogenies involving younger, outboard Paleoproterozoic crustal provinces recognized in southern Laurentia. For example, the previously unrecognized West Branch fault, separating the Dickinson Group from Archean rocks, is shown to be a major structure in the region, and is a proposed expression of ~1.76&nbsp;Ga thick-skinned deformation. Oblique disruptions of crudely east–west striking structures have robust geophysical expressions and are speculatively connected to transpressive deformation at ~1.65&nbsp;Ga. These new geophysical observations and interpretations collectively help illuminate a critical period in the tectonic evolution of Laurentia, as it transitioned from a disparate array of Archean cratons to a more coherent, growing continent.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.precamres.2021.106205","usgsCitation":"Drenth, B.J., Cannon, W.F., Schulz, K.J., and Ayuso, R.A., 2021, Geophysical insights into Paleoproterozoic tectonics along the southern margin of the Superior Province, central Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA: Precambrian Research, v. 359, 106205, 19 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.precamres.2021.106205.","productDescription":"106205, 19 p.","ipdsId":"IP-121384","costCenters":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":245,"text":"Eastern Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":35995,"text":"Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":452613,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.precamres.2021.106205","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":436400,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P99X3X07","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Data Release - Geologic map of the central Upper Peninsula, Michigan"},{"id":385578,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United  States","state":"Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan","otherGeospatial":"Lake Superior","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -91.8017578125,\n              43.99281450048989\n            ],\n            [\n              -86.81396484375,\n              43.99281450048989\n            ],\n            [\n              -86.81396484375,\n              47.81315451752768\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.8017578125,\n              47.81315451752768\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.8017578125,\n              43.99281450048989\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"359","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Drenth, Benjamin J. 0000-0002-3954-8124 bdrenth@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3954-8124","contributorId":1315,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Drenth","given":"Benjamin","email":"bdrenth@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":815467,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cannon, William F. 0000-0002-2699-8118","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2699-8118","contributorId":201972,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cannon","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":245,"text":"Eastern Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":815468,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schulz, Klaus J. 0000-0003-2967-4765 kschulz@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2967-4765","contributorId":2438,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schulz","given":"Klaus","email":"kschulz@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":245,"text":"Eastern Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":815469,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Ayuso, Robert A. 0000-0002-8496-9534 rayuso@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8496-9534","contributorId":2654,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ayuso","given":"Robert","email":"rayuso@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":387,"text":"Mineral Resources Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":245,"text":"Eastern Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":815470,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

These redox-sensitive precipitates influence the release of nutrients and metals to surface water and can act as ‘contaminant sponges’ by absorbing toxic compounds. We explore the feasibility of a non-invasive, high-resolution magnetic susceptibility (MS) technique to efficiently map the spatial variations of magnetic Fe oxide precipitates in the shallow bed of three rivers impacted by anoxic groundwater discharge. Laboratory analyses on Mashpee River (MA, USA) sediments demonstrate the sensitivity of MS to sediment Fe concentrations. Field surveys in the Mashpee and Quashnet rivers (MA, USA) reveal several discrete high MS zones, which are associated with likely anoxic groundwater discharge as evaluated by riverbed temperature, vertical head gradient, and groundwater chemistry measurements. In the East River (CO, USA), widespread cobbles/rocks exhibit high background MS from geological ferrimagnetic minerals, thereby obscuring the relatively small enhancement of MS from groundwater induced Fe oxide precipitates. Our study suggests that, in settings with low geological sources of magnetic minerals such as lowland rivers and wetlands, MS may serve as a complementary tool to temperature methods for efficiently mapping Fe oxide accumulation zones due to anoxic groundwater discharges that may function as biogeochemical hot spots and water quality control points in gaining systems.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/hyp.14184","usgsCitation":"Wang, C., Briggs, M., Day-Lewis, F., and Slater, L., 2021, Evaluation of riverbed magnetic susceptibility for mapping biogeochemical hot spots in groundwater-impacted rivers: Hydrological Processes, v. 35, no. 5, e14184, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.14184.","productDescription":"e14184, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-127672","costCenters":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":488589,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1784356","text":"External Repository"},{"id":387673,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United  States","state":"Colorado, Massachusetts","otherGeospatial":"East River, Quashnet River, Mashpee River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -107.05764770507812,\n              38.67264490154078\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.8255615234375,\n              38.67264490154078\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.8255615234375,\n              38.904927027872844\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.05764770507812,\n              38.904927027872844\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.05764770507812,\n              38.67264490154078\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -70.48192977905273,\n              41.588742636696765\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.45412063598633,\n              41.588742636696765\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.45412063598633,\n              41.61826568409901\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.48192977905273,\n              41.61826568409901\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.48192977905273,\n              41.588742636696765\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -70.5208969116211,\n              41.57127917558171\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.50682067871094,\n              41.57127917558171\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.50682067871094,\n              41.59580372470895\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.5208969116211,\n              41.59580372470895\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.5208969116211,\n              41.57127917558171\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"35","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wang, Cheng-Hui 0000-0001-9508-7425","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9508-7425","contributorId":194062,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wang","given":"Cheng-Hui","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":820536,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Briggs, Martin A. 0000-0003-3206-4132","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3206-4132","contributorId":257637,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Briggs","given":"Martin A.","affiliations":[{"id":486,"text":"OGW Branch of Geophysics","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":820537,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Day-Lewis, Frederick 0000-0003-3526-886X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3526-886X","contributorId":216359,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Day-Lewis","given":"Frederick","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":820538,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Slater, L. 0000-0003-0292-746X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0292-746X","contributorId":247506,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Slater","given":"L.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":12727,"text":"Rutgers University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820539,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The High Plains aquifer system (hereinafter referred to as the “Ogallala aquifer”), contained within the Ogallala Formation in Texas, is the shallowest aquifer in the study area and is the primary source of water for agriculture and municipal supply in the areas managed by the UWCDs. Groundwater withdrawals from deeper aquifers (primarily the Edwards-Trinity [High Plains] aquifer system that is hereinafter referred to as the “Edwards-Trinity [High Plains] aquifer”) augmented by lesser amounts from the Dockum aquifer provide additional water sources in the study area. The Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifer is contained within the Trinity and Fredericksburg Groups. The Dockum aquifer, a relatively minor source of water in the study area, is contained in the Dockum Group, which was evaluated as a single unit. The potential for continual declines of the groundwater in the Ogallala aquifer in the study area and the potential changes in water quality resulting from dewatering and increased vertical groundwater movement between adjacent water-bearing units have raised concerns about the amount and quality of available groundwater.</p><p>The developed conceptual model helped in the understanding of the quantity and quality of the groundwater within the Ogallala, the Edwards-Trinity (High Plains), and to a lesser extent, the Dockum aquifers within the study area. The hydrogeologic framework was used to assess the vertical and lateral extents of hydrogeologic units, bed orientations, unit thicknesses, and location and orientation of paleochannels. In general, the Trinity and Fredericksburg Groups and Ogallala Formation exhibit a slight regional dip (dip angle of about 0.14 degrees) to the southeast with dip directions becoming more to the south with each successively overlying unit (105, 110, and 125 degrees for the bases of the Trinity and Fredericksburg Groups and Ogallala Formation, respectively). In general, the Trinity and Fredericksburg Groups thin to the south and are not present in the southern part of Gaines County, whereas the Ogallala Formation becomes thinner from west to east. The combined thickness of the Trinity and Fredericksburg Groups and Ogallala Formation is generally greatest in the north-central part of the study area and thinnest in the southeastern part of the study area. Paleochannel orientation varied over geologic time as formations were deposited and eroded.</p><p>Water-quality samples were collected from 51 wells throughout the study area to better understand general water quality and to provide insight into groundwater-flow paths and recharge areas. Groundwater samples were spatially grouped on the basis of similarities found in the physicochemical properties, major ions, trace elements, nutrients, organic compounds, and selected stable isotopes and age tracers. Three groundwater groups were identified in the study area. The first groundwater group (Group 1), represented mostly by groundwater from the Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifers in the northern half of the study area, is considered to be recent recharge, affected by land-use activities, as explained by the younger age, higher concentrations of nitrate plus nitrite, and more frequent detections of organic compounds. Groundwater wells in the second groundwater group (Group 2) are typically in the southwestern and northwestern parts of the study area, and the groundwater in this group is considered to be groundwater recharged during the Pleistocene period, as explained by the relatively old age of the groundwater, high strontium stable isotope ratios, and hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope ratios. The last groundwater group (Group 3) is likely a mixture of groundwater from the first or second groups (or both) with a third, highly mineralized groundwater as explained by having the highest dissolved-solids concentrations in the study area and having some similarities to geochemical characteristics of samples from the first and second groups.</p><p>A groundwater-flow system analysis was done to understand the flow of groundwater throughout the aquifer system. Groundwater-level altitudes for the Ogallala, Edwards-Trinity (High Plains), and Dockum aquifers are generally higher in the northwestern part of the study area and lower in the southeastern part of the study area. Groundwater generally flows in a northwest to southeast direction across the study area in each of the aquifers. The groundwater-flow paths closely resemble the mapped paleochannels, indicating that within the study area, the groundwater flows preferentially along the paleochannels, especially within the Ogallala aquifer where dewatering of the aquifer results in a greater effect of the base structure on the flow of groundwater.</p><p>The Ogallala aquifer is unsaturated in localized areas in the study area; unsaturated areas are generally near the southern extent of the Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifer, with the largest unsaturated area west of Seminole, Tex. The saturated thickness of the Ogallala aquifer is thickest (more than 125 feet) southeast of Seminole and west of Brownfield, Tex., near the border between Terry and Yoakum Counties. The saturated thickness of the combined Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifers ranges from less than 10 feet along the far southern edge of the study area to more than 350 feet north and east of Brownfield, Tex., and along the border between Terry and Yoakum Counties.</p><p>The aquifer hydraulic properties, including hydraulic conductivity and specific yield, were estimated to better understand the ability of groundwater to move through the aquifer system and quantify the volume of available water in storage. The hydraulic-conductivity values varied greatly within the study area (ranging from about 0.03 to about 350 feet per day), and often large variations were found in the same area. Terry County contained the highest and lowest hydraulic conductivity values for the Ogallala aquifer, whereas Yoakum County contained the highest and lowest hydraulic conductivity values for the Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifer. The highest hydraulic-conductivity values for the Dockum aquifer were in Gaines County, whereas the lowest hydraulic-conductivity values were in Terry County. The estimated specific yield values within the study area range from 0.01 to 0.36. Higher specific yield values generally occurred in the western part of the study area except in the Ogallala aquifer where higher specific yield values were in the east. The Ogallala aquifer had the lowest specific yield range and the least specific yield variability among the three aquifers, whereas the Dockum aquifer had the highest specific yield range and the greatest specific yield variability.</p><p>Using the estimated saturated thickness and estimated specific yield grids, the water volumes of the Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifers and the combined Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifers were estimated. The available water in the Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifer (16.6 million acre-feet) is almost double the available water in the Ogallala aquifer (8.8 million acre-feet). Although the Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifer contains more available groundwater, pumping is more difficult because of the relatively low hydraulic conductivity and specific yield values compared to the Ogallala aquifer. Overall, the available water within the combined Ogallala and Edwards-Trinity (High Plains) aquifers is about 6.6, 10.2, and 8.6 million acre-feet for Gaines, Terry, and Yoakum Counties, respectively.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20215009","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with Llano Estacado Underground Water Conservation District, Sandy Land Underground Water Conservation District, and South Plains Underground Water Conservation District","usgsCitation":"Teeple, A.P., Ging, P.B., Thomas, J.V., Wallace, D.S., and Payne, J.D., 2021, Hydrogeologic framework, geochemistry, groundwater-flow system, and aquifer hydraulic properties used in the development of a conceptual model of the Ogallala, Edwards-Trinity (High Plains), and Dockum aquifers in and near Gaines, Terry, and Yoakum Counties, Texas: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021–5009, 68 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215009.","productDescription":"Report: xi, 68 p.;
