This shift was in response to the growing scientific emphasis on process-based restoration and to support from the 2007 Accords Agreement with the Bonneville Power Administration. With the increased size of restoration projects, the CTUIR and other agencies are in need of applicable monitoring methods for assessing large-scale changes in river and floodplain habitats following restoration. The goal of the Physical Habitat Monitoring Strategy is to outline methods that are useful for capturing reach-scale changes in surface and groundwater hydrology, geomorphology, hydrologic connectivity, and riparian vegetation at restoration projects. The Physical Habitat Monitoring Strategy aims to avoid duplication with existing regional effectiveness monitoring protocols by identifying complimentary reach-scale metrics and methods that may improve the ability of CTUIR and others to detect instream and riparian changes at large restoration projects.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological

The techniques were tested with a use case goal of creating a data set for use in exploring potential relationships among freshwater fish populations and environmental factors. The resulting prototype extracts data from the BioData Retrieval System, the Multistate Aquatic Resource Information System, the National Geochemical Survey, and the National Hydrography Dataset. A prototype user interface allows a scientist to select observations from these data systems and combine them into a single data set in RDF format that includes explicitly defined relationships and data definitions. The project was funded by the USGS Community for Data Integration and undertaken by the Community for Data Integration Semantic Web Working Group in order to demonstrate use of Semantic Web technologies by scientists. This allows scientists to simultaneously explore data that are available in multiple, disparate systems beyond those they traditionally have used.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S.

The measurement results were used to assess the accuracy of modeled or computed instantaneous streamflow time series created and supplied by the USGS, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and National Weather Service (NWS) for the Ohio River at Hannibal Lock and Dam and (or) at the USGS streamgage. Hydraulic or hydrologic models were used to create the modeled time series; index-velocity methods or gate-opening ratings coupled with hydropower operation data were used to create the computed time series. The time step of the various instantaneous streamflow time series ranged from 15 minutes to 24 hours (once-daily values at 12:00 Coordinated Universal Time [UTC]). The 15-minute time-series data, computed by the USGS for the Sardis gage, also were downsampled to 1-hour and 24-hour time steps to permit more direct comparisons with other streamflow time series.</p>\n<p>To facilitate comparisons between measurement results and time-series data, streamflows corresponding to the times of the streamflow measurements were computed from the time-series data by time-based linear interpolation. Prior to doing interpolations, measurement times for the Hannibal Lock and Dam location were adjusted for traveltime to account for the fact that the streamflow measurements were made about 1.5 mi downstream from the location corresponding to the modeled/computed time-series data. Measured and interpolated streamflows were tabulated along with residuals (the difference between measured and interpolated streamflows) and selected summary statistics.</p>\n<p>Overall, streamflows interpolated from the USGS computed 15-minute time-series data (hereafter referred to as the USGS 15-minute time-series data) had the smallest root-mean-square error (RMSE) (3,939 cubic feet per second [ft<sup>3</sup>/s]) and the second smallest mean absolute residual (2,636 ft<sup>3</sup>/s), whereas streamflows interpolated from the USACE 12 UTC time series had the largest RMSE (14,590 ft<sup>3</sup>/s) and the largest mean absolute residual (10,800 ft<sup>3</sup>/s). The larger RMSEs for streamflows interpolated from the USACE 12 UTC time series likely resulted in part from the coarser time step of that time series. Streamflows interpolated from the USGS downsampled 1-hour time series had the second smallest RMSE (4,025 ft<sup>3</sup>/s) and the smallest mean absolute residual (2,600 ft<sup>3</sup>/s). Somewhat surprisingly, streamflows interpolated from the NWS 6-hour model time series had the third smallest RMSE (4,483 ft<sup>3</sup>/s) and mean absolute residual (4,050 ft<sup>3</sup>/s) in spite of being determined from a time series with a coarser time step than the USACE 1-hour modeled and computed time series.</p>\n<p>Measured streamflows at the Sardis gage and at the Hannibal Lock and Dam measurement location were plotted versus residuals (expressed as a percentage of the measured streamflows) of corresponding interpolated time-series streamflow values. Results for each of the time series exhibited some anomaly, possibly indicating the need and (or) potential for improvement in the streamflow computational/modeling processes.</p>\n<p>Streamflow hydrographs were plotted for modeled/computed time series for the Ohio River near the USGS Sardis gage and the Ohio River at the Hannibal Lock and Dam. In general, the time series at these two locations compared well. Some notable differences include the exclusive presence of short periods of negative streamflows in the USGS 15-minute time-series data for the gage on the Ohio River above Sardis, Ohio, and the occurrence of several peak streamflows in the USACE gate/hydropower time series for the Hannibal Lock and Dam that were appreciably larger than corresponding peaks in the other time series, including those modeled/computed for the downstream Sardis gage</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20151058","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers","usgsCitation":"Koltun, G., 2015, An evaluation of the accuracy of modeled and computed streamflow time-series data for the Ohio River at Hannibal Lock and Dam and at a location upstream from Sardis, Ohio: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1058, viii, 23 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151058.","productDescription":"viii, 23 p.","numberOfPages":"32","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-063449","costCenters":[{"id":513,"text":"Ohio Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":299300,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20151058.jpg"},{"id":299296,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1058/"},{"id":299297,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1058/pdf/ofr2015-1058.pdf","text":"Report","size":"1.20 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Report"}],"country":"United States","state":"Ohio","otherGeospatial":"Ohio River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -80.96099853515624,\n              39.57817336212527\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.96099853515624,\n              39.68182601089365\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.82092285156249,\n              39.68182601089365\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.82092285156249,\n              39.57817336212527\n            ],\n            [\n              -80.96099853515624,\n              39.57817336212527\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"551e5a1be4b027f0aee3b86b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Koltun, G.

Two groups of unionid mussels were used in the study. Unionid mussels were collected near the test area, weighed, photographed, individually tagged, and randomly allocated to one of nine test enclosures in equal proportions and then divided into two groups. The first group of unionid mussels (Group 1,&nbsp;<i>n</i>&nbsp;= 5 per test enclosure) were indiscriminately selected from each test enclosure and used to estimate the number of zebra mussels adhering to unionid mussels prior to exposure. The second group of unionid mussels (Group 2,&nbsp;<i>n</i>&nbsp;= 22 per test enclosure) were used to evaluate the efficacy of SDP for removal of adhering zebra mussels. Both Group 1 and Group 2 mussels were used to evaluate the effects of SDP exposure on unionid mussel survival.</p>\n<p>Treatment was assigned to each test enclosure by using a randomized block design. The three treatment groups were tested in triplicate and included an untreated control group and groups that received a single application of 50 or 100 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of SDP based on active ingredient. All treatment concentrations are reported as active ingredient of SDP. Test enclosures were removed at the 8-hour exposure termination. Both Group 1 and Group 2 mussels remained in their assigned exposure location during the postexposure holding period. The number of zebra mussels adhering to Group 2 mussels (live and dead) was assessed 18 to 20 days postexposure in addition to assessing the survival of Group 1 and Group 2 unionid mussels.</p>\n<p>SDP, administered as a single treatment, significantly (<i>p</i>&nbsp;&lt; 0.01) reduced the number of adhering zebra mussels when compared to the untreated controls. The number of zebra mussels adhering to unionid mussels (Group 2) was reduced 53 percent in the 50-mg/L treatment group and 68 percent in the 100-mg/L treatment group. The number of adhering zebra mussels did not differ (<i>p</i>&nbsp;= 0.79) between the 50- and 100-mg/L treatment groups after exposure. When standardized to the amount of SDP applied per square meter, each gram (g) of SDP applied in the 50-mg/L treatment reduced the number of adhering zebra mussel 59.8 percent more than the 100-mg/L treatment group.</p>\n<p>Group 1 mussel survival did not differ between treatment groups (<i>p</i>&nbsp;&gt; 0.05); however, a difference was detected (<i>p</i>&nbsp;&lt; 0.01) in the survival of Group 2 mussels.

The wave-induced water level component (wave setup and swash) is estimated by using modeled offshore wave height and period and measured beach slope (from dune toe to shoreline) through the empirical parameterization of Stockdon and others (2006). Spatial and temporal variability in beach slope leads to corresponding variability in predicted wave setup and swash. For instance, seasonal and storm-induced changes in beach slope can lead to differences on the order of 1 meter (m) in wave-induced water level elevation, making accurate specification of this parameter and its associated uncertainty essential to skillful forecasts of coastal change. A method for calculating spatially and temporally averaged beach slopes is presented here along with a method for determining total uncertainty for each 200-m alongshore section of coastline.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20151053","usgsCitation":"Doran, K.S., Long, J.W., and Overbeck, J., 2015, A method for determining average beach slope and beach slope variability for U.S. sandy coastlines: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1053, Report: iv, 5 p.; Data Releases, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151053.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 5 p.; Data Releases","numberOfPages":"10","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-063337","costCenters":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":438707,"rank":7,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F72805P1","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Beach Slopes of Florida: Miami to Jupiter"},{"id":299260,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20151053.jpg"},{"id":342384,"rank":5,"type":{"id":22,"text":"Related Work"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F72805P1","text":"Beach slopes of Florida: Miami to Jupiter"},{"id":342385,"rank":6,"type":{"id":22,"text":"Related Work"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7XK8CK2","text":"Beach slopes of Florida: Bradenton Beach to Clearwater Beach"},{"id":299257,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1053/"},{"id":299258,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1053/pdf/ofr2015-1053.pdf","text":"Report","size":"377 KB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Report"},{"id":299259,"type":{"id":22,"text":"Related Work"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7M906Q6","text":"Beach Slopes of North Carolina: Salvo to Duck","description":"Dataset website"}],"country":"United States","state":"North Carolina","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -75.84686279296874,\n              35.21420969483077\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.84686279296874,\n              36.10015727402227\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.21240234375,\n              36.10015727402227\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.21240234375,\n              35.21420969483077\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.84686279296874,\n              35.21420969483077\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"551e5a18e4b027f0aee3b869","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Doran, Kara S. 0000-0001-8050-5727 kdoran@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8050-5727","contributorId":127855,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Doran","given":"Kara","email":"kdoran@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":543875,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Long, Joseph W. 0000-0003-2912-1992 jwlong@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2912-1992","contributorId":3303,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Long","given":"Joseph","email":"jwlong@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543876,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Overbeck, Jacquelyn R.","contributorId":140046,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Overbeck","given":"Jacquelyn R.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":543877,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Analysis of the flume testing indicates the velocities measured by the Qliner at a 40-second exposure time results in higher dispersion of velocities from the mean velocity of data collected with a 5-minute exposure time. The percent data spread from the mean of a 100-minute mean of Qliner velocities for a 40-second exposure time averaged 16.6 percent for the entire vertical, and a 5-minute mean produced a 6.2 percent data spread from the 100-minute mean. This 16.6 percent variation in measured velocity would result in a 3.32 percent variation in computed discharge assuming 25 verticals while averaging 4 bins in each vertical. The flume testing also provided results that indicate the blanking distance of 0.20 meters is acceptable when using beams 1 and 2, however beam 3 is negatively biased near the transducer and the 0.20-meter blanking distance is not sufficient. Field testing included comparing the measured discharge by the Qliner to the discharge measured by a Price AA mechanical current meter and a Teledyne RDI Rio Grande 1200 kilohertz acoustic Doppler current profiler. The field tests indicated a difference between the discharges measured with the Qliner and the field reference discharge between -14.0 and 8.0 percent; however the average percent difference for all 22 field comparisons was 0.22, which was not statistically significant.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20151052","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the University of Iowa IIHR – Hydroscience and Engineering","usgsCitation":"McVay, J.C., 2015, Evaluation of the Ott Hydromet Qliner for measuring discharge in laboratory and field conditions: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1052, v, 13 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151052.","productDescription":"v, 13 p.","numberOfPages":"24","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-061080","costCenters":[{"id":351,"text":"Iowa Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":299250,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20151052.jpg"},{"id":299248,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1052/"},{"id":299249,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1052/pdf/ofr2015-1052.pdf","text":"Report","size":"2.55 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Report"}],"projection":"Universal Transverse Mercator, Zone 15","datum":"North American Datum of 1983","country":"United States","state":"Iowa","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -96.141357421875,\n              41.97582726102573\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.6142578125,\n              42.87596410238254\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.22998046875,\n              42.89206418807337\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.90087890624999,\n              42.187829010590825\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.417236328125,\n              40.9218144123785\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.39501953125,\n              40.94671366508002\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.075439453125,\n              41.795888098191426\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.141357421875,\n              41.97582726102573\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"551d089be4b0256c24f4214e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McVay, Jason C. jcmcvay@usgs.gov","contributorId":139902,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McVay","given":"Jason","email":"jcmcvay@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":351,"text":"Iowa Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":543397,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

This responsibility requires acquisition of remotely sensed data throughout vast lands, including areas that are remote and potentially dangerous to access. One promising new technology for data collection is unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), which may be better suited (achieving superior science, safety, and savings) than traditional methods. UAS, regardless of their size, have the same operational components: aircraft, payloads, communications unit, and operator control unit. The aircraft is the platform that flies and carries any required payloads. For Department of the Interior missions these payloads will be either a sensor or set of sensors that can acquire the specific type of remotely sensed data that is needed. The aircraft will also carry the payload that is responsible for transmitting live airborne video images, compass headings, and location information to the operator control unit. The communications unit, which transfers information between the aircraft and the operator control unit, consists of the hardware and software required to establish both uplink and downlink communications. Finally, the operator control unit both controls and monitors the aircraft and can be operated either by a pilot on the ground or autonomously.</p>\n<p>This Roadmap provides operational procedures and lessons learned from completed proof-of-concept UAS missions in areas such as wildlife management, resource monitoring, and public land inspections.

Ecosystems subjected to novel fire regimes may experience profound changes that are difficult to predict, including persistent losses of vegetation cover and diversity (McLaughlin and Bowers, 1982; Brown and Minnich, 1986; Brooks, 2012), losses to seed banks (Esque and others, 2010a), changes in demographic processes (Esque and others, 2004; DeFalco and others, 2010), increased erosion (Soulard and others, 2013), changes in nutrient availability (Esque and others, 2010b), increased dominance of invasive species (Esque and others, 2002; Brooks and others, 2004), and transitions to alternative community states (Davies and others, 2012). In the deserts of the Southwestern United States, fire size and frequency have increased substantially over the last several decades because of an invasive grass/fire feedback cycle (Schmid and Rogers, 1988; D&rsquo;Antonio and Vitousek, 1992; Swantek and others, 1999; Brooks and Matchett, 2006; Esque and others, 2010a), in which invasive annual species are able to establish fuel loads capable of sustaining large-scale wildfires following years of high rainfall (Esque and Schwalbe, 2002). Native perennial vegetation is not well-adapted to fire in these environments, and widespread, physiognomically dominant species such as creosote bush (</span><i>Larrea tridentata</i><span>), Joshua tree (</span><i>Yucca brevifolia</i><span>), giant saguaro cactus (</span><i>Carnegiea gigantea</i><span>), and paloverde (</span><i>Parkinsonia</i><span>&nbsp;spp.) may be reduced or eliminated (Brown and Minnich, 1986; Esque and others, 2006; DeFalco and others, 2010), potentially affecting wildlife populations including the Sonoran and federally threatened Mojave Desert Tortoises (</span><i>Gopherus morafkai</i><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><i>Gopherus agassizii</i><span>, respectively; Brooks and Esque, 2002; Esque and others, 2003; Drake and others, in press).</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20151060","usgsCitation":"Shryock, D.F., Esque, T., and Chen, F.C., 2015, A 30-year chronosequence of burned areas in Arizona: effects of wildfires on vegetation in Sonoran Desert Tortoise (<i>Gopherus morafkai</i>) habitats: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1060, vi, 61 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151060.","productDescription":"vi, 61 p.","numberOfPages":"71","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-063459","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":299217,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20151060.jpg"},{"id":299216,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1060/pdf/ofr2015-1060.pdf","size":"3.5 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":299215,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1060/"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","otherGeospatial":"Sonoran Desert","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -114.54345703125,\n              35.27253175660236\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.719482421875,\n              35.34425514918409\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.050048828125,\n              34.298068350990846\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.050048828125,\n              32.648625783736726\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.818359375,\n              33.770015152780125\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.114990234375,\n              34.38877925439018\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.400634765625,\n              34.615126683462194\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.521484375,\n              35.003003395276714\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.54345703125,\n              35.27253175660236\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"551bb717e4b0323842783a1e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Shryock, Daniel F. dshryock@usgs.gov","contributorId":5139,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Shryock","given":"Daniel","email":"dshryock@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543784,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Esque, Todd C. tesque@usgs.gov","contributorId":139988,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Esque","given":"Todd C.","email":"tesque@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":543783,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Chen, Felicia C. fchen@usgs.gov","contributorId":139989,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chen","given":"Felicia","email":"fchen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":543785,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

These airborne geophysical surveys provide high-resolution and spatially comprehensive datasets characterizing the resistivity structure of the shallow subsurface of each survey region, accompanied by magnetic-field information over matching areas. These data were collected to provide insight into the distribution of groundwater brine in the Paradox Valley, the extent of clay aquitards in the San Luis Valley, and to improve our understanding of the geologic framework for both regions.

The Ninth Joint meeting was extremely beneficial in furthering cooperation and deepening understanding of problems common to both the U.S. and Japan. The meeting included productive exchanges of information on approaches to systematic observation and modeling of earthquake processes. Regarding the earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, the Panel recognizes that further efforts are necessary to achieve our common goal of reducing earthquake risk through close collaboration and focused discussions at the 10th UJNR meeting. We look forward to continued cooperation on issues involving the densification of observation networks and the open exchange of data among scientific communities. We recognize the importance of making information publicly available in a timely manner. We also recognize the importance of information exchange on research policy and strategies, including the frameworks of research organizations.</p>\n<h6><strong>Areas of Cooperation</strong></h6>\n<p>&ndash;Specific areas of earthquake research where cooperative research between the U.S. and Japan may lead to significant advancement include, but are not limited to:</p>\n<p>&ndash;Probabilistic earthquake and tsunami hazard estimation, including extraordinarily large earthquakes, both in our respective countries and worldwide, incorporating knowledge of current and past behavior, and physics based computational models;</p>\n<p>&ndash;Real-time information from seismic, geodetic and strain measurements, including borehole strainmeters and seafloor observations using offshore cabled networks;</p>\n<p>&ndash;Technologies for measuring crustal deformation;</p>\n<p>&ndash;Early warning technologies for earthquakes and tsunamis; Studies of recurrence of large and extraordinary large earthquakes using paleoseismic, paleotsunami, geodetic and seismic methods;</p>\n<p>&ndash;Laboratory, theoretical and in situ studies of fault-zone processes;</p>\n<p>&ndash;Studies of episodic tremor and slow slip events using seismic, geodetic, and borehole strain measurements, and simulation techniques;</p>\n<p>&ndash;Systematic studies of earthquake predictability through rigorously evaluated scientific prediction experiments and robust databases;</p>\n<p>&ndash;Studies of near-source ground motions, geological effects and the response of engineered structures.</p>\n<p>The Panel strongly urges that the appropriate agencies in the U.S. and Japan that are represented on this panel work together with the academic sector to support and coordinate scientific work in these areas of cooperation. The Panel recognizes the importance of promoting the exchange of scientific personnel, exchange of data, and fundamental studies to advance progress in earthquake research. The U.S. and Japan should promote these exchanges throughout the world. The Panel endorses continuation of these activities.</p>","conferenceTitle":"9th U.S.-Japan Natural Resources Panel for Earthquake Research","conferenceDate":"October 9-12, 2012","conferenceLocation":"Denver, CO","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20141250","usgsCitation":"2015, Proceedings of the 9th U.S.-Japan natural resources panel for earthquake research: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2014-1250, iv, 89 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20141250.","productDescription":"iv, 89 p.","numberOfPages":"95","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-044782","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":299044,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20141250.gif"},{"id":299042,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2014/1250/downloads/of2014-1250.pdf","text":"Report","size":"9.8 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Report"},{"id":299043,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2014/1250/"}],"country":"Japan, United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -219.2431640625,\n              45.69083283645816\n            ],\n            [\n              -217.37548828125,\n              45.460130637921004\n            ],\n            [\n              -214.3212890625,\n              44.41808794374849\n            ],\n            [\n              -214.73876953125,\n              43.78695837311561\n            ],\n            [\n              -213.81591796875,\n              43.197167282501276\n            ],\n            [\n              -217.1337890625,\n              32.2313896627376\n            ],\n            [\n              -219.39697265624997,\n              30.06909396443887\n            ],\n            [\n              -227.9443359375,\n              25.60190226111573\n            ],\n            [\n              -234.40429687499997,\n              25.720735134412106\n            ],\n            [\n              -230.97656250000003,\n              34.63320791137959\n            ],\n            [\n              -223.30810546875,\n              38.13455657705411\n            ],\n            [\n              -219.2431640625,\n              45.69083283645816\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -99.7119140625,\n              24.44714958973082\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.62109375,\n              24.44714958973082\n            ],\n            [\n              -124.98046874999999,\n              29.38217507514529\n            ],\n            [\n              -128.4521484375,\n              47.98992166741417\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.6640625,\n              50.62507306341437\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.302734375,\n              50.65294336725709\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.3037109375,\n              46.01222384063236\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.6220703125,\n              42.032974332441405\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.041015625,\n              38.47939467327645\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.84374999999999,\n              29.726222319395504\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.7119140625,\n              24.44714958973082\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5516711ae4b0323842781ad8","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Detweiler, Shane T. 0000-0001-5699-011X shane@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5699-011X","contributorId":680,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Detweiler","given":"Shane","email":"shane@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543523,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ellsworth, William L. ellsworth@usgs.gov","contributorId":787,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ellsworth","given":"William","email":"ellsworth@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543524,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":2}]}}

The effects of SDP exposure concentration and exposure duration on zebra mussel survival were evaluated along with the evaluation of a benthic injection application technique to reduce the amount of SDP required to induce zebra mortality.</p>\n<p>Groups of zebra mussels were collected from each lake and allowed to adhere to test substrates for at least 15 days before exposure to SDP. Two independent trials were completed at each lake: (1) a whole water column (WWC) application trial was used to evaluate the effects of SDP exposure concentration and exposure duration on zebra mussel survival; and (2) a benthic injection (BI) application trial in which the SDP was injected into the test tanks to determine the efficacy of a benthic injection application technique to reduce the amount of SDP required to induced zebra mussel mortality. Three exposure durations (6, 9, and 12 hours) were evaluated in the WWC trials and a 12-hour exposure duration was evaluated in the BI trials. All trials contained zebra mussels which were removed at the completion of each exposure duration, consolidated into wire mesh cages, and held in the lake for approximately 30 days before being assessed for survival.</p>\n<p>For all trials, treatment was assigned to each test tank according to a randomized block design (<i>n</i>&nbsp;= 3 test tanks per treatment). The treatment groups included (1) an untreated control group, (2) a group that received an application of 50 milligrams of SDP per liter (mg SDP/L), and (3) a group that received an application of 100 mg SDP/L. During the BI trials, SDP was administered to achieve the desired exposure concentration in the bottom 50 percent (175 L) of the test tank. All exposure concentrations are reported as active ingredient.</p>\n<p>Approximately 30 days after exposure, zebra mussels were sorted into live and dead, and enumerated. Mean survival of zebra mussels in control treatments exceeded 95 percent. Mean survival of zebra mussels in the Lake Carlos WWC SDP-treated groups ranged from 0.5 to 2.1 percent and when compared at the same exposure duration, no difference was detected in survival between the 50 and 100 milligrams per liter (mg/L) treatment groups. Similarly, mean survival of zebra mussels in the Shawano Lake WWC SDP-treated groups ranged from 2.0 to 12.6 percent and when compared at the same exposure duration, no difference was detected in survival between the 50- and 100-mg/L treatment groups. Mean survival of zebra mussels in the Lake Carlos BI trial SDP-treated groups did not differ (<i>p</i>&nbsp;= 0.93) and was 18.1 and 18.0 percent in the 50- and 100-mg/L treatment groups, respectively. Mean survival of zebra mussels in the Shawano Lake BI trial SDP-treated groups differed (<i>p</i>&nbsp;&lt; 0.01) and was 2.9 and 0.9 percent in the 50- and 100-mg/L treatment groups, respectively. Survival of zebra mussels assigned to the SDP-treated groups in the Lake Carlos WWC trial (12-hour exposure duration) differed from the survival of zebra mussels assigned to the SDP-treated groups in the Lake Carlos BI trial; however, after modification of the BI application technique, no difference (<i>p</i>&nbsp;= 0.22) was detected between the survival of zebra mussel in the Shawano Lake WWC

Many of the fish that are not collected pass downstream and enter Riffe Lake, become landlocked, and are lost to the anadromous population. In addition to this loss, the juvenile fish collection system at Cowlitz Falls Dam, which originally consisted of four collection flumes, has failed to achieve annual collection goals since it began operating in 1996. In the years since, the collection flumes have been modified and prototype collection devices have been developed and tested, but these efforts have not substantially increased juvenile fish collection. Studies have shown that juvenile steelhead (<i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>), coho salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus kisutch</i>), and Chinook salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus tshawytscha</i>) tend to come close to the entrances of the collection system, but many of these fish fail to enter and eventually pass the dam through turbines or spillways.</p>\n<p>Tacoma Power developed a prototype weir box in 2009 to increase capture rates of juvenile salmon at the collection entrances. The device was evaluated with radio-tagged coho salmon (318 fish) and Chinook salmon (317 fish), and was found to have a high retention rate; 93 percent of the coho salmon, and 91 percent of the Chinook salmon that entered the device were retained and collected. However, because of safety concerns at the dam, the weir box could not be deployed near a spillway gate where the prototype was tested, so the device was altered and re-deployed at a different location where it was evaluated during 2013. During that year, discovery efficiency (number of fish detected at the entrance divided by the number of fish detected in the forebay) was 98 percent for tagged steelhead and 83 percent for tagged coho salmon. However, none of the steelhead and only 5 percent of the coho salmon entered and were collected through the weir box. These results indicated that the device was not a promising collection alternative during spring months when steelhead and coho salmon are passing the dam. However, collection conditions change during summer months when juvenile Chinook salmon are passing, so the device also was evaluated during summer 2014.</p>\n<p>In an attempt to improve overall collection efficiency, Tacoma Power developed and tested a new device in 2014, called the Upper Riffe Lake Collector (URLC). The URLC was a floating device designed to collect fish as they moved downstream after passing through turbines at Cowlitz Falls Dam. The design of the URLC included a pontoon barge that supported a large net structure designed to funnel fish into a live box where they could be removed and transported downstream of dams on the Cowlitz River.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20151054","usgsCitation":"Kock, T.J., Liedtke, T.L., Ekstrom, B.K., and Hurst, W., 2015, Evaluation of two juvenile salmon collection devices at Cowlitz Falls Dam, Washington, 2014: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1054, iv, 30 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151054.","productDescription":"iv, 30 p.","numberOfPages":"38","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-062939","costCenters":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":298955,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20151054.jpg"},{"id":298953,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1054/"},{"id":298954,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1054/pdf/ofr2015-1054.pdf","text":"Report","size":"2.2 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2015-1054 Report"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","otherGeospatial":"Cowlitz Falls Dam","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.50442504882814,\n              46.57302276393836\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.50442504882814,\n              46.693725378358955\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.29980468749999,\n              46.693725378358955\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.29980468749999,\n              46.57302276393836\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.50442504882814,\n              46.57302276393836\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"55127ca6e4b02e76d75bd5e5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kock, Tobias J. 0000-0001-8976-0230 tkock@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8976-0230","contributorId":3038,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kock","given":"Tobias","email":"tkock@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543254,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Liedtke, Theresa L. 0000-0001-6063-9867 tliedtke@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6063-9867","contributorId":2999,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Liedtke","given":"Theresa","email":"tliedtke@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543255,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ekstrom, Brian K. 0000-0002-1162-1780 bekstrom@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1162-1780","contributorId":3704,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ekstrom","given":"Brian","email":"bekstrom@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543256,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hurst, William 0000-0001-5758-8210 whurst@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5758-8210","contributorId":139838,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hurst","given":"William","email":"whurst@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":543257,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Following a summer of drought and wildfires, a wet weather system stalled over the Front Range area from Fort Collins in the north to Colorado Springs in the south, including the cities of Lyons and Longmont. This weather system produced rainfall amounts that greatly exceeded historical highs. The Colorado Office of Emergency Management reported at least eight deaths. More than 11,000 people were evacuated from their homes, and the flooding caused an estimated $2 billion dollars in damages. On September 14, 2013, President Barack Obama issued a major disaster declaration for 15 Colorado counties affected by the severe weather and related damage.</p>\n<p>To support local, State, and Federal disaster response coordination efforts in Colorado, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed a geospatial product to identify surface-water cover from Lyons to western Longmont. This information was derived from September 13, 2013 WorldView-2 multispectral imagery at a spatial resolution of 3 meters (m). These data were orthocorrected and pan-sharpened.

In 2006, the USGS held the first Scientific Information Management Workshop to bring together staff from across the organization to discuss the data and information management issues affecting the integration and delivery of earth science research and investigate the use of &ldquo;communities of practice&rdquo; as mechanisms to share expertise about these issues. Out of this effort emerged the Council for Data Integration, which was conceived as an official organizational function that would help guide data integration activities and formalize communities of practice into working groups. However by 2009, it became apparent that many members of the council had an interest in developing data integration solutions and sharing expertise in a less formal grassroots perspective, thus transforming the &ldquo;Council&rdquo; into a &ldquo;Community&rdquo; for Data Integration (CDI). Today, the CDI represents a dynamic community of practice focused on advancing science data and information management and integration capabilities across the USGS and the CDI community.</p>\n<p>The CDI fosters an environment for collaboration and sharing by bringing together expertise from external partners and representatives across USGS who are involved in research, data management, and information technology. Membership is voluntary and open to USGS employees and other individuals and organizations willing to contribute to the community (if interested, contact cdi@usgs.gov). The purpose of the CDI is to</p>\n<ul>\n<li>advance understanding of Earth systems through enhanced use of data and information including associated tools and techniques</li>\n<li>provide a forum for people doing work with data integration to come together to share ideas as well as learn new skills and techniques, and</li>\n<li>grow overall USGS capabilities with data and information by increasing visibility of the work of many people throughout the USGS and the CDI community.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To achieve these goals, the CDI operates within four applied areas: monthly forums, annual workshop/webinar series, working groups, and projects. The monthly forums, also known as the Opportunity/Challenge of the Month, provide an open dialogue to share and learn about data integration efforts or to present problems that invite the Community to offer solutions, advice, and support. Since 2010, the CDI has also sponsored annual workshops/webinar series to encourage the exchange of ideas, sharing of activities, presentations of current projects, and networking among members. Stemming from common interests, the working groups are focused on efforts to address data management and technical 2 challenges, including the development of standards and tools, improving interoperability and information infrastructure, and data preservation within USGS and its partners. The growing support for the activities of the working groups led to the CDI&rsquo;s first formal request for proposals (RFP) process in 2013 to fund projects that produced tangible products. Today the CDI continues to hold an annual RFP that create data management tools and practices, collaboration tools, and training in support of data integration and delivery.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20151005","usgsCitation":"Chang, M.Y., Carlino, J., Barnes, C., Blodgett, D.L., Bock, A.R., Everette, A.L., Fernette, G., Flint, L.E., Gordon, J.M., Govoni, D.L., Hay, L.E., Henkel, H., Hines, M., Holl, S.L., Homer, C.G., Hutchison, V., Ignizio, D., Kern, T., Lightsom, F.L., Markstrom, S., O’Donnell, M.S., Schei, J.L., Schmid, L.A., Schoephoester, K.M., Schweitzer, P.N., Skagen, S.K., Sullivan, D.J., Talbert, C., and Warren, M.P., 2015, Community for Data Integration 2013 Annual Report: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1005, v, 36 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151005.","productDescription":"v, 36 p.","numberOfPages":"41","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-057786","costCenters":[{"id":208,"text":"Core Science Analytics and Synthesis","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":298831,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20151005.jpg"},{"id":298829,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1005/"},{"id":298830,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1005/pdf/ofr2015-1005.pdf","size":"2.76 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"550d3698e4b02e76d759d864","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Chang, Michelle Y. mchang@usgs.gov","contributorId":5880,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chang","given":"Michelle","email":"mchang@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"Y.","affiliations":[{"id":208,"text":"Core Science Analytics and Synthesis","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":542960,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Carlino, Jennifer jcarlino@usgs.gov","contributorId":5881,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carlino","given":"Jennifer","email":"jcarlino@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":5076,"text":"Federal Geographic Data Committee","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":542961,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Barnes, Christopher 0000-0002-4608-4364 barnes@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4608-4364","contributorId":3617,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Barnes","given":"Christopher","email":"barnes@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":542962,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Blodgett, David L. 0000-0001-9489-1710 dblodgett@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9489-1710","contributorId":3868,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Blodgett","given":"David","email":"dblodgett@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":677,"text":"Wisconsin Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37778,"text":"WMA -

In 1997, the BLM created the BLM&rsquo;s Collaboration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Program (Collaboration/ADR Program) to centralize, strengthen, and coordinate these efforts. Specifically, the Collaboration/ADR Program is charged with developing ADR policies; ensuring that statutory and regulatory requirements are met; and providing training, resources, and direct support for collaboration and ADR in the BLM. At the request of the Collaboration/ADR Program, the Policy Analysis and Science Assistance Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey, located in the Fort Collins Science Center, conducted an online survey of BLM employees in early 2013 to address four overarching questions:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>What information sources and assistance resources are BLM employees currently accessing to fill their conflict/dispute resolution and collaboration needs?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li>What are the perceived information and resource needs of BLM employees associated with conflict/dispute resolution and collaboration? What information and resources can the BLM Collaboration/ADR Program provide to fill BLM employee needs?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li>What is the BLM employee level of knowledge associated with conflict/dispute resolution and collaboration?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li>What are the attitudes and perceptions of BLM employees toward conflict/dispute resolution and collaboration?</li>\n</ol>\n<p>This report describes the findings of this online survey and will assist the BLM&rsquo;s Collaboration and ADR Oversight Committee in developing the Strategic Plan for the Collaboration/ADR Program. The purpose of the Strategic Plan is to advance collaboration in the BLM and to increase the capacity of the Collaboration/ADR Program to support collaborative efforts on the ground.</p>\n<p>In March 2013, a user-specific link to the online survey was sent via email to all current BLM employees (<i>n</i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;</span>= 6,734) that could potentially have had experience in collaboration and conflict resolution based on their job series. The links took the respondents to a webpage where the survey was administered. Email reminders were sent at weekly intervals thereafter. When the survey closed in May 2013, the response rate was 45 percent (3,161 employees). Of these, only 14 percent (427 respondents) indicated that they did not have direct experience with collaboration or ADR, and were unlikely to gain experience in the future. Because these respondents were not the target population of this survey, they were branched to the demographic questions at the end of the survey and were not included in any further analyses. The remaining 86 percent (2,734 respondents) indicated that either they did have direct experience with collaboration and (or) ADR, or that they might gain experience with one or both in the future.

The station was established as part of a long-term monitoring program of Neotropical migratory bird populations on NOLF and helps Naval Base Coronado (NOLF is a component) meet the goals and objectives of Department of Defense Partners in Flight program and the Birds and Migratory Birds Management Strategies of the Naval Base Coronado Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan. During 2009&ndash;13, captures averaged 644 &plusmn;155 per year. Fifty-seven species were captured, of which 44 are Neotropical migratory species and 33 breed at the MAPS station. Twenty-two sensitive species were detected, including Least Bell&rsquo;s Vireo (</span><i>Vireo bellii pusillus</i><span>), Willow Flycatcher (</span><i>Empidonax traillii</i><span>), Yellow-breasted Chat (</span><i>Icteria virens</i><span>) and Yellow Warbler (</span><i>Setophaga petechia</i><span>). Local population trends varied among species and years, as did annual productivity (number of young per adult). We found no significant relationship between productivity and the observed population size in the subsequent year for any species, nor did we find an association between productivity and precipitation for the current bio-year. Similarly, survivorship varied across species and years, and there was no obvious relationship between adult survivorship and observed population size for any species except Wrentit (</span><i>Chamaea fasciata</i><span>), for which the relationship was positive. Adult survivorship was unrelated to precipitation at the MAPS station. Additional years of data will be required to generate sample sizes adequate for more rigorous analyses of survivorship and productivity as predictors of population growth.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20151035","collaboration":"Prepared for Commander, Navy Region Southwest","usgsCitation":"Lynn, S., Madden, M.C., Houston, A., and Kus, B., 2015, Monitoring avian productivity and survivorship (MAPS) 5-year summary, Naval Outlying Landing Field, Imperial Beach, southwestern San Diego County, California, 2009-13: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1035, iv, 58 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151035.","productDescription":"iv, 58 p.","numberOfPages":"66","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","temporalStart":"2009-01-01","temporalEnd":"2013-12-31","ipdsId":"IP-060385","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":298605,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20151035.jpg"},{"id":298590,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1035/"},{"id":298604,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1035/pdf/ofr2015-1035.pdf","size":"2.7 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"California","county":"San Diego County","otherGeospatial":"Naval Outlying Landing Field, Imperial Beach","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -117.13305473327635,\n              32.57274731855856\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.13309764862059,\n              32.56659903602909\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.1277332305908,\n              32.566309694703826\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.12713241577147,\n              32.557267308042874\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.12292671203613,\n              32.55383096217773\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.08765029907225,\n              32.553324542189436\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.08850860595703,\n              32.56923923251008\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.12301254272461,\n              32.56945623150453\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.13305473327635,\n              32.57274731855856\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"55094221e4b02e76d757d917","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lynn, Suellen 0000-0003-1543-0209 suellen_lynn@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1543-0209","contributorId":3843,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lynn","given":"Suellen","email":"suellen_lynn@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":542457,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Madden, Melanie C. 0000-0003-4147-7254 mmadden@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4147-7254","contributorId":139459,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Madden","given":"Melanie","email":"mmadden@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":542458,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Houston, Alexandra 0000-0002-8599-8265 ahouston@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8599-8265","contributorId":139460,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Houston","given":"Alexandra","email":"ahouston@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":542459,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Kus, Barbara E. 0000-0002-3679-3044 barbara_kus@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3679-3044","contributorId":3026,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kus","given":"Barbara E.","email":"barbara_kus@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":542456,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The results show that an estimated 17.7 percent of the LCC land cover had a change during the 27-year period. Cyclic forest dynamics&mdash;of timber harvest and regrowth&mdash;are the most extensive types of land conversion. Agricultural land had an estimated net decline of 3.5 percent as cropland and pasture were urbanized and developed and converted to forest use. Urban and other developed land covers expanded from 2.0 percent of the LCC in 1973 to 3.1 percent in 2000.

When pyrite (FeS</span><sub>2</sub><span>) is exposed to oxygen and water in mine workings or roadcuts, the mineral decomposes and sulfur may react to form sulfuric acid, which often results in environmental problems and potential damage to the transportation infrastructure. The accelerated oxidation of pyrite and other sulfidic minerals generates low pH water with potentially high concentrations of trace metals. Much attention has been given to contamination arising from acid mine drainage, but studies related to acid-rock drainage from road construction are relatively limited. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, is conducting an investigation to evaluate the occurrence and processes controlling acid-rock drainage and contaminant transport from roadcuts in Tennessee. The basic components of acid-rock drainage resulting from transportation activities are described and a bibliography, organized by relevant categories (remediation, geochemical, microbial, biological impact, and secondary mineralization) is presented.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20151016","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Transportation","usgsCitation":"Bradley, M., and Worland, S.C., 2015, Bibliography for acid-rock drainage and selected acid-mine drainage issues related to acid-rock drainage from transportation activities: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015-1016, iii, 16 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151016.","productDescription":"iii, 16 p.","numberOfPages":"24","onlineOnly":"Y","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-058759","costCenters":[{"id":581,"text":"Tennessee Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":298585,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr20151016.jpg"},{"id":298583,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1016/"},{"id":298584,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1016/pdf/ofr2015-1016.pdf","text":"Report","size":"2.22 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Report"}],"country":"United States","state":"Tennessee","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -88.05541992187499,\n              36.66841891894786\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.05541992187499,\n              36.491973470593685\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.35205078124999,\n              36.491973470593685\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.428955078125,\n              34.96699890670367\n            ],\n            [\n              -83.73779296875,\n              35.0120020431607\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.309814453125,\n              36.20882309283712\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.2548828125,\n              36.5978891330702\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.05541992187499,\n              36.66841891894786\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5507f098e4b02e76d757c122","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bradley, Mike 0000-0002-2979-265X mbradley@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2979-265X","contributorId":582,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bradley","given":"Mike","email":"mbradley@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":581,"text":"Tennessee Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":539835,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Worland, Scott C. 0000-0001-6384-2457 scworland@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6384-2457","contributorId":5802,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Worland","given":"Scott","email":"scworland@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":581,"text":"Tennessee Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":539836,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
