The surge amplitude decreases at a rate of 40&ndash;50 cm/km across the mangrove forest and at a rate of 20 cm/km across the areas with a mixture of mangrove islands with open water. In contrast, the amplitudes of stormsurges at the front of the mangrove zone increase by about 10&ndash;30% because of the \"blockage\" of mangroves to surge water, which can cause greater impacts on structures at the front of mangroves than the case without mangroves. The mangrove forest can also protect the wetlands behind the mangrove zone against surge inundation from a Category 5 hurricane with a fast forward speed of 11.2 m/s (25 mph). However, the forest cannot fully attenuate stormsurges from a Category 5 hurricane with a slow forward speed of 2.2 m/s (5 mph) and reduced surges can still affect the wetlands behind the mangrove zone. The effects of widths of mangrove zones on reducing surge amplitudes are nonlinear with large reduction rates (15&ndash;30%) for initial width increments and small rates (&lt;5%) for subsequent width increments.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1016/j.ecss.2012.02.021","usgsCitation":"Zhang, K., Liu, H., Li, Y., Xu, H., Shen, J., Rhome, J., and Smith, J., 2012, The role of mangroves in attenuating storm surges: Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, v. 102-3, p. 11-23, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2012.02.021.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"11","endPage":"23","costCenters":[{"id":566,"text":"Southeast Ecological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257303,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257284,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2012.02.021","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","volume":"102-3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505baf80e4b08c986b324845","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Zhang, Keqi","contributorId":41272,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zhang","given":"Keqi","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464423,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Liu, Huiqing","contributorId":44781,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Liu","given":"Huiqing","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464424,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Li, Yuepeng","contributorId":23372,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Li","given":"Yuepeng","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464422,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Xu, Hongzhou","contributorId":15053,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Xu","given":"Hongzhou","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464421,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Shen, Jian","contributorId":81242,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Shen","given":"Jian","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464425,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Rhome, Jamie","contributorId":92097,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rhome","given":"Jamie","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464426,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Smith, J.

In this study, <sup>15</sup>N NMR was used to establish for the first time that UV irradiation effects the incorporation of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen into aquatic natural organic matter (NOM). Irradiation of <sup>15</sup>N-labeled nitrate in aqueous solution with an unfiltered medium pressure mercury lamp resulted in the incorporation of nitrogen into Suwannee River NOM (SRNOM) via nitrosation and other reactions over a range of pH from approximately 3.2 to 8.0, both in the presence and absence of bicarbonate, confirming photonitrosation of the NOM. The major forms of the incorporated label include nitrosophenol, oxime/nitro, pyridine, nitrile, and amide nitrogens. Natural organic matter also catalyzed the reduction of nitrate to ammonia on irradiation. The nitrosophenol and oxime/nitro nitrogens were found to be susceptible to photodegradation on further irradiation when nitrate was removed from the system. At pH 7.5, unfiltered irradiation resulted in the incorporation of <sup>15</sup>N-labeled nitrite into SRNOM in the form of amide, nitrile, and pyridine nitrogen. In the presence of bicarbonate at pH 7.4, Pyrex filtered (cutoff below 290&ndash;300 nm) irradiation also effected incorporation of nitrite into SRNOM as amide nitrogen. We speculate that nitrosation of NOM from the UV irradiation of nitrate also leads to production of nitrogen gas and nitrous oxide, a process that may be termed photo-chemodenitrification. Irradiation of SRNOM alone resulted in transformation or loss of naturally abundant heterocyclic nitrogens.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Environmental Quality","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Society of Agronomy","publisherLocation":"Madison, WI","doi":"10.2134/jeq2011.0335","usgsCitation":"Thorn, K.A., and Cox, L.G., 2012, Ultraviolet irradiation effects incorporation of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen into aquatic natural organic matter: Journal of Environmental Quality, v. 41, no. 3, p. 865-881, https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2011.0335.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"865","endPage":"881","numberOfPages":"17","costCenters":[{"id":145,"text":"Branch of Regional Research-Central Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474475,"rank":10000,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2011.0335","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":257302,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257285,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.2134/jeq2011.0335","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"41","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-05-01","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505bbc0ce4b08c986b3289ce","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Thorn, Kevin A. 0000-0003-2236-5193 kathorn@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2236-5193","contributorId":3288,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thorn","given":"Kevin","email":"kathorn@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464552,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Cox, Larry G. lgcox@usgs.gov","contributorId":3310,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cox","given":"Larry","email":"lgcox@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":464553,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The field site is within the area burned by the 2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire in Colorado, USA. Physical and hydraulic property characterization included ash thickness, particle size distribution, hydraulic conductivity, and soil water retention curves. Soil water content and matric potential were measured indirectly at several depths below the soil surface to document hydrologic states underneath the ash layer in the unsaturated zone, whereas precipitation and surface runoff were measured directly. Measurements of soil water content showed that almost no water infiltrated below the ash layer into the near-surface soil in the burned site at the storm time scale (i.e., minutes to hours). Runoff generation processes were controlled by and highly sensitive to ash thickness and ash hydraulic properties. The ash layer stored from 97% to 99% of rainfall, which was critical for reducing runoff amounts. The hydrologic response to two rain storms with different rainfall amounts, rainfall intensity, and durations, only ten days apart, indicated that runoff generation was predominantly by the saturation-excess mechanism perched at the ash-soil interface during the first storm and predominantly by the infiltration-excess mechanism at the ash surface during the second storm. Contributing area was not static for the two storms and was 4% (saturation excess) to 68% (infiltration excess) of the catchment area. Our results showed the importance of including hydrologic conditions and hydraulic properties of the ash layer in postwildfire runoff generation models.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Water Resources Research","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.1029/2011WR011470","usgsCitation":"Ebel, B.A., Moody, J.A., and Martin, D.A., 2012, Hydrologic conditions controlling runoff generation immediately after wildfire: Water Resources Research, v. 48, 13 p.; W03529, https://doi.org/10.1029/2011WR011470.","productDescription":"13 p.; W03529","numberOfPages":"13","costCenters":[{"id":145,"text":"Branch of Regional Research-Central Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474480,"rank":10000,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1029/2011wr011470","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":257301,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257289,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2011WR011470","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","volume":"48","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-03-30","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a358ce4b0c8380cd5fffc","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ebel, Brian A. 0000-0002-5413-3963 bebel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5413-3963","contributorId":2557,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ebel","given":"Brian","email":"bebel@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464551,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Moody, John A. 0000-0003-2609-364X jamoody@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2609-364X","contributorId":771,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Moody","given":"John","email":"jamoody@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5044,"text":"National Research Program - Central Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":464549,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Martin, Deborah A. 0000-0001-8237-0838 damartin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8237-0838","contributorId":1900,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Martin","given":"Deborah","email":"damartin@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":595,"text":"U.S. Geological Survey","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":464550,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The geomorphic community has put much effort into understanding the causes of arroyo cutting in the late Quaternary and in the modern record (late 1800s), while little effort has gone into understanding how arroyos fill and the sources of this fill. Here, we successfully develop a geographic information system (GIS)-modeled sediment budget that is based on detailed field measurements of hillslope and channel erosion and deposition. Field measurements were made in two arroyo basins draining different lithologies and undergoing different land disturbance (Volcano Hill Wash, 9.30 km<sup>2</sup>; Arroyo Chavez, 2.11 km<sup>2</sup>) over a 3 yr period. Both basins have incised channels that formed in response to the late nineteenth-century incision of the Rio Puerco. Large volumes of sediment were generated during arroyo incision, equal to more than 100 yr of the current annual total sediment load (bed load + suspended load) in each basin. Downstream reaches in both arroyos are presently aggrading, and the main source of the sediment is from channel erosion in upstream reaches and first- and second-order tributaries. The sediment budget shows that channel erosion is the largest source of sediment in the current stage of the arroyo cycle: 98% and 80% of the sediment exported out of Volcano Hill Wash and Arroyo Chavez, respectively. The geomorphic surface most affected by arroyo incision and one of the most important sediment sources is the valley alluvium, where channel erosion, gullying, soil piping, and grazing all occur. Erosion rates calculated for the entire Volcano Hill Wash (-0.26 mm/yr) and Arroyo Chavez (-0.53 mm/yr) basins are higher than the modeled upland erosion rates in each basin, reflecting the large contributions from channel erosion. Erosion rates in each basin are affected by a combination of land disturbance (grazing) and lithology--erodible sandstones and shales in Arroyo Chavez compared with basalt for Volcano Hill Wash. Despite these differences, hillslope sediment yields are similar to long-term denudation rates. As the arroyo fills over time from mouth to headwaters, hillslope sediment becomes a more significant sediment source.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"GSA Bulletin","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Gelogical Society of America","publisherLocation":"Boulder, CO","doi":"10.1130/B30392.1","usgsCitation":"Gellis, A., Pavich, M., Ellwein, A., Aby, S., Clark, I., Wieczorek, M., and Viger, R., 2012, Erosion, storage, and transport of sediment in two subbasins of the Rio Puerco, New Mexico: GSA Bulletin, v. 124, no. 5/6, p. 817-841, https://doi.org/10.1130/B30392.1.","productDescription":"25 p.","startPage":"817","endPage":"841","numberOfPages":"24","costCenters":[{"id":374,"text":"Maryland Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257264,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257254,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1130/B30392.1","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"New Mexico","otherGeospatial":"Rio Puerco","volume":"124","issue":"5/6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2011-12-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a0a41e4b0c8380cd52284","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gellis, A.

From these surveys, a population of 23,555 (95% CI = 17,299 &ndash; 29,859) breeding Snowy Plovers was estimated. Combining the estimate with information from areas not surveyed, the total North American population was assessed at 25,869 (95% CI = 18,917 &ndash; 32,173). Approximately 42% of all breeding Snowy Plovers in North America resided at two sites (Great Salt Lake, Utah, and Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma), and 33% of all these were on wetlands in the Great Basin (including Great Salt Lake). Also, coastal habitats in central and southern Texas supported large numbers of breeding plovers. New breeding sites were discovered in interior deserts and highlands and along the Pacific coast of M&eacute;xico; approximately 9% of the North American breeding population occurred in M&eacute;xico. Because of uncertainties about effects of climate change and current stresses to breeding habitats, the species should be a management and conservation priority.

The research vessel was equipped with a 234-kilohertz interferometric sonar system to collect bathymetry and backscatter data, a dual frequency (3.5- and 200-kilohertz) compression high-intensity radar pulse seismic reflection profiler to collect subbottom data, a sound velocity profiler to acquire speed of sound within the water column, and a sea floor sampling device to collect sediment samples, video, and photographs. The survey was part of an ongoing cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management to map the geology of the Massachusetts inner continental shelf.

To identify key processes affecting distribution of agricultural nitrate in groundwater, a parsimonious transport model was applied at 14 sites across the U.S. Simulated vertical profiles of NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, N<sub>2</sub> from denitrification, O<sub>2</sub>, Cl<sup>-</sup>, and environmental tracers of groundwater age were matched to observations by adjusting the parameters for recharge rate, unsaturated zone travel time, fractions of N and Cl<sup>-</sup> inputs leached to groundwater, O<sub>2</sub> reduction rate, O<sub>2</sub> threshold for denitrification, and denitrification rate. Model results revealed important interactions among biogeochemical and physical factors. Chloride fluxes decreased between the land surface and water table possibly because of Cl<sup>-</sup> exports in harvested crops (averaging 22% of land-surface Cl<sup>-</sup> inputs). Modeled zero-order rates of O<sub>2</sub> reduction and denitrification were correlated. Denitrification rates at depth commonly exceeded overlying O<sub>2</sub> reduction rates, likely because shallow geologic sources of reactive electron donors had been depleted. Projections indicated continued downward migration of NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> fronts at sites with denitrification rates <0.25 mg-N L<sup>-1</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup>. The steady state depth of NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> depended to a similar degree on application rate, leaching fraction, recharge, and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> and O<sub>2</sub> reaction rates. Steady state total mass in each aquifer depended primarily on the N application rate. In addition to managing application rates at land surface, efficient water use may reduce the depth and mass of N in groundwater because lower recharge was associated with lower N fraction leached. Management actions to reduce N leaching could be targeted over aquifers with high-recharge and low-denitrification rates.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Water Resources Research","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.1029/2011WR011008","usgsCitation":"Liao, L., Green, C.T., Bekins, B.A., and Böhlke, J., 2012, Factors controlling nitrate fluxes in groundwater in agricultural areas: Water Resources Research, v. 48, 18 p.; W00L09, https://doi.org/10.1029/2011WR011008.","productDescription":"18 p.; W00L09","costCenters":[{"id":148,"text":"Branch of Regional Research-Western Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257238,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257232,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2011WR011008","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","volume":"48","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-02-24","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a0ebae4b0c8380cd535be","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Liao, Lixia 0000-0003-2513-0680 lliao@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2513-0680","contributorId":5311,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Liao","given":"Lixia","email":"lliao@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":349726,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Green, Christopher T. 0000-0002-6480-8194 ctgreen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6480-8194","contributorId":1343,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Green","given":"Christopher","email":"ctgreen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":349724,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Bekins, Barbara A. 0000-0002-1411-6018 babekins@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1411-6018","contributorId":1348,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bekins","given":"Barbara","email":"babekins@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":436,"text":"National Research Program - Eastern Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":36183,"text":"Hydro-Ecological Interactions Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":349725,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Böhlke, J.K. 0000-0001-5693-6455","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5693-6455","contributorId":96696,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Böhlke","given":"J.K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":349727,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We evaluated whether migrating scoters followed a ‘silver wave’ of resource availability, analogous to the ‘green wave’ of high-quality foraging conditions that herbivorous waterfowl follow during spring migration. We confirmed that herring spawning activity began later in the year at higher latitudes, creating a northward-progressing wave of short-term localized food availability. Using satellite telemetry and aerial surveys, we documented the chronology of scoter spring migration and the use of stopover locations in relation to herring spawn timing and locations. We found that the migration chronology paralleled the northward progression of herring spawning events. Although there was considerable variability in the timing of both scoter migration and the initiation of herring spawning, the processes were related beyond a coincidental northward progression. During migration, 60% of the tracked scoters visited at least 1 spawn site, and those that used spawn sites were located on spawn sites for approximately one-third of their migration locations. Surf scoters showed close spatiotemporal associations with herring spawning events, confirming that the presence of herring spawn was a factor determining habitat use for many individuals. Surf scoters showed close spatiotemporal associations with herring spawning events, confirming that the presence of herring spawn was a factor determining habitat use for many individuals, a conclusion that is consistent with previous studies which used physiologically based metrics to evaluate the importance of herring spawn.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Inter-Research","doi":"10.3354/meps09692","usgsCitation":"Lok, E.K., Esler, D., Takekawa, J.Y., De La Cruz, S.E., Boyd, W.S., Nysewander, D.R., Evenson, J.R., and Ward, D.H., 2012, Spatiotemporal associations between Pacific herring spawn and surf scoter spring migration: evaluating a \"silver wave\" hypothesis: Marine Ecology Progress Series, v. 457, p. 139-150, https://doi.org/10.3354/meps09692.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"139","endPage":"150","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474483,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3354/meps09692","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":438812,"rank":1,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P9LUFGEF","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Tracking Data for Surf Scoter (Melanitta perspicillata)"},{"id":257195,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":265992,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.3354/meps09692"}],"country":"United States","volume":"457","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505b94c9e4b08c986b31ac4a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lok, Erica K.","contributorId":47183,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lok","given":"Erica","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":350882,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Esler, Daniel 0000-0001-5501-4555 desler@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5501-4555","contributorId":5465,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Esler","given":"Daniel","email":"desler@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":12437,"text":"Simon Fraser University, Centre for Wildlife Ecology","active":true,"usgs":false},{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":350881,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Takekawa, John Y. 0000-0003-0217-5907 john_takekawa@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0217-5907","contributorId":176168,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Takekawa","given":"John","email":"john_takekawa@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"Y.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":350885,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"De La Cruz, Susan E.W. 0000-0001-6315-0864 sdelacruz@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6315-0864","contributorId":3248,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"De La Cruz","given":"Susan","email":"sdelacruz@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.W.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":350886,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Boyd, W.

The hydrocyclone effectively filtered all sizes of snails (including newly emerged neonates) from inflows. We modeled cumulative recovery of three sizes of snails, and determined that both juvenile and adult sized snails were transported similarly through the filtration system, but the transit of neonates was faster and similar to the transport of water particles. We found that transit times through the filtration system were different between the two flows regardless of snail size, and the hydrocyclone filter operated more as a plug flow system with dispersion, especially when transporting and removing the larger sized adult and juvenile sized snails. Our study supports hydrocyclonic filtration as an important tool to provide snail free water for aquaculture operations that require uninfested water sources.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Aquaculture","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1016/j.aquaculture.2011.11.035","usgsCitation":"Nielson, R.J., Moffitt, C.M., and Watten, B.J., 2012, Hydrocyclonic separation of invasive New Zealand mudsnails from an aquaculture water source: Aquaculture, v. 326-9, p. 156-162, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2011.11.035.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"156","endPage":"162","costCenters":[{"id":342,"text":"Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257230,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2011.11.035","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":257240,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","volume":"326-9","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a3336e4b0c8380cd5ee15","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Nielson, R.

We know relatively little about the mechanisms that affect dispersal and subsequent settlement of juvenile mussels in large rivers. We used a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of a reach of the Upper Mississippi River with stochastic Lagrangian particle tracking to simulate juvenile dispersal. Sensitivity analyses were used to determine the importance of excystment location in two-dimensional space (lateral and longitudinal) and to assess the effects of vertical location (depth in the water column) on dispersal distances and juvenile settling distributions. In our simulations, greater than 50% of juveniles mussels settled on the river bottom within 500 m of their point of excystment, regardless of the vertical location of the fish in the water column. Dispersal distances were most variable in environments with higher velocity and high gradients in velocity, such as along channel margins, near the channel bed, or where effects of river bed morphology caused large changes in hydraulics. Dispersal distance was greater and variance was greater when juvenile excystment occurred in areas where vertical velocity (<i>w</i>) was positive (indicating an upward velocity) than when <i>w</i> was negative. Juvenile dispersal distance is likely to be more variable for mussels species whose hosts inhabit areas with steeper velocity gradients (e.g. channel margins) than a host that generally inhabits low-flow environments (e.g. impounded areas).","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"River Research and Applications","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1002/rra.1469","usgsCitation":"Daraio, J., Weber, L., Zigler, S.J., Newton, T., and Nestler, J., 2012, Simulated effects of host fish distribution on juvenile unionid mussel dispersal in a large river: River Research and Applications, v. 28, no. 5, p. 594-608, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.1469.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"594","endPage":"608","costCenters":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257239,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":110968,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/rra.1469","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Illinois;Iowa","volume":"28","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2010-11-05","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505b8f95e4b08c986b318ffb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Daraio, J.A.","contributorId":51577,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Daraio","given":"J.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352439,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Weber, L.J.","contributorId":79988,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Weber","given":"L.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":352440,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Zigler, S.

However, productivity is another important aspect of avian conservation, and nest predation can be a large source of nesting mortality for passerines. Recent studies using video surveillance to identify nest predators allow researchers to start evaluating what methods could be used to mitigate nest predation to help passerines of conservation concern. From recent studies, we identified latitudinal and habitat-related patterns in the importance of predator groups that depredate passerine nests. We then reviewed how knowledge of specific nest predators can benefit conservation of bird species of concern. Mammals were the dominant predator group in northern grasslands. Snakes were the dominant predator group in southern habitats. Fire ants were only a nest predator in southern latitudes. Differences in the importance of predator species or groups were likely the result of both their geographic patterns of distribution and habitat preferences. Some direct and indirect predator control measures developed for waterfowl management potentially could be used to benefit passerine productivity. We reviewed three examples-cowbirds, snakes in shrublands, and ground squirrels in grasslands-to illustrate how different predator control strategies may be needed in different situations. Mitigation of passerine nest predation will need to be based on knowledge of predator communities to be effective. This requires large samples of predation events with identified predators; video technology is essential for this task.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Cooper Ornithological Society","usgsCitation":"Ribic, C., and Thompson, F., 2012, Conservation implications when the nest predators are known: Studies in Avian Biology, v. 43, p. 23-34.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"23","endPage":"34","ipdsId":"IP-023210","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":344977,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"43","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"599a9fb7e4b0b589267d58bf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ribic, Christine 0000-0003-2583-1778 caribic@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2583-1778","contributorId":147952,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ribic","given":"Christine","email":"caribic@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":5068,"text":"Midwest Regional Director's Office","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":708023,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Thompson, Frank","contributorId":178102,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Thompson","given":"Frank","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":708097,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

In remote locations, however, it is often difficult to obtain stream flow information because of the difficulty in making the discharge measurements necessary to define stage-discharge relationships (rating curves). This study investigates the feasibility of defining rating curves by using a fluid mechanics-based model constrained with topographic data from an airborne LiDAR scanning. The study was carried out for an 8m-wide channel in the boreal landscape of northern Sweden. LiDAR data were used to define channel geometry above a low flow water surface along the 90-m surveyed reach. The channel topography below the water surface was estimated using the simple assumption of a flat streambed. The roughness for the modelled reach was back calculated from a single measurment of discharge. The topographic and roughness information was then used to model a rating curve. To isolate the potential influence of the flat bed assumption, a 'hybrid model' rating curve was developed on the basis of data combined from the LiDAR scan and a detailed ground survey. Whereas this hybrid model rating curve was in agreement with the direct measurements of discharge, the LiDAR model rating curve was equally in agreement with the medium and high flow measurements based on confidence intervals calculated from the direct measurements. The discrepancy between the LiDAR model rating curve and the low flow measurements was likely due to reduced roughness associated with unresolved submerged bed topography. Scanning during periods of low flow can help minimize this deficiency. These results suggest that combined ground surveys and LiDAR scans or multifrequency LiDAR scans that see 'below' the water surface (bathymetric LiDAR) could be useful in generating data needed to run such a fluid mechanics-based model. This opens a realm of possibility to remotely sense and monitor stream flows in channels in remote locations.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Hydrological Processes","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","publisherLocation":"Hoboken, NJ","doi":"10.1002/hyp.9225","usgsCitation":"Nathanson, M., Kean, J.W., Grabs, T.J., Seibert, J., Laudon, H., and Lyon, S.W., 2012, Modelling rating curves using remotely sensed LiDAR data: Hydrological Processes, v. 26, no. 9, p. 1427-1434, https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.9225.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"1427","endPage":"1434","costCenters":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257151,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257150,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/hyp.9225","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"volume":"26","issue":"9","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-03-27","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a5c72e4b0c8380cd6fcd8","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Nathanson, Marcus","contributorId":85452,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nathanson","given":"Marcus","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351621,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kean, Jason W. 0000-0003-3089-0369 jwkean@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3089-0369","contributorId":1654,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kean","given":"Jason","email":"jwkean@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":351617,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Grabs, Thomas J.","contributorId":107971,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grabs","given":"Thomas","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351622,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Seibert, Jan","contributorId":176322,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Seibert","given":"Jan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351620,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Laudon, Hjalmar","contributorId":46812,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Laudon","given":"Hjalmar","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351619,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Lyon, Steve W.","contributorId":44780,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lyon","given":"Steve","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":351618,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

We have bountiful clean water, fertile soil, and unrivaled national parks, wildlife refuges, and public lands. These resources enrich our lives and preserve our health and wellbeing. These resources have been maintained because of our history of respect for their value and an enduring commitment to their vigilant protection. Awareness of the social, economic, and personal value of the health of our environment is increasing. The emergence of environmentally driven diseases caused by environmental exposure to contaminants and pathogens is a growing concern worldwide. New health threats and patterns of established threats are affected by both natural and anthropogenic changes to the environment. Human activities are key drivers of emerging (new and re-emerging) health threats. Societal demands for land and natural resources, a better quality of life, improved economic prosperity, and the environmental impacts associated with these demands will continue to increase. Natural earth processes, climate trends, and related climatic events will add to the environmental impact of human activities. These environmental drivers will influence exposure to disease agents, including viral, bacterial, prion, and fungal pathogens, parasites, natural earth materials, toxins and other biogenic compounds, and synthetic chemicals and substances.</p><p>The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) defines environmental health science broadly as the interdisciplinary study of relations among the quality of the physical environment, the health of the living environment, and human health. The interactions among these three spheres are driven by human activities, ecological processes, and natural earth processes; the interactions affect exposure to contaminants and pathogens and the severity of environmentally driven diseases in animals and people. This definition provides USGS with a framework for synthesizing natural science information from across the Bureau and providing it to environmental, natural resource, agricultural, and public-health managers.</p><p>The USGS is a Federal science agency with a broad range of natural science expertise relevant to environmental health. USGS provides scientific information and tools as a scientific basis for management and policy decision making. USGS specializes in science at the environment-health interface, by characterizing the processes that affect the interaction among the physical environment, the living environment, and people, and the resulting factors that affect ecological and human exposure to disease agents.</p><p>This report describes a 10-year strategy that encompasses the portfolio of USGS environmental health science. It summarizes national environmental health priorities that USGS is best suited to address, and will serve as a strategic framework for USGS environmental health science goals, actions, and outcomes for the next decade. Implementation of this strategy is intended to aid coordination of USGS environmental health activities and to provide a focal point for disseminating information to stakeholders.</p><p>The \"One Health\" paradigm advocated by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011), and the American Veterinary Medicine Association (AVMA, 2008), among others, is based on a general recognition that the health of humans, animals, and the environment are inextricably linked. Thus, successful efforts to protect that health will require increased interdisciplinary research and increased communication and collaboration among the broader scientific and health community. This strategy is built upon that paradigm.</p><p>The vision, mission, and five cornerstone goals of the USGS Environmental Health Science Strategy were developed with significant input from a wide range of stakeholders.</p><p><strong>Vision</strong> - The USGS is a premier source of the environmental health science needed to safeguard the health of the environment, fish, wildlife, and people.</p><p><strong>Mission</strong> - The mission of USGS in environmental health science is to contribute scientific information to environmental, natural resource, agricultural, and public-health managers, who use that science to support sound decision making. USGS provides the science to:</p><p><strong>- Goal 1:</strong> Identify, prioritize, and detect contaminants and pathogens of emerging environmental concern.</p><p><strong>- Goal 2:</strong> Reduce the impact of contaminants on the environment, fish, wildlife, and people.</p><p><strong>- Goal 3:</strong> Reduce the impact of pathogens on the environment, fish, wildlife, and people.</p><p><strong>- Goal 4:</strong> Discover the complex interactions and combined effects of exposure to contaminants and pathogens.</p><p><strong>- Goal 5:</strong> Prepare for and respond to environmental impacts and related health threats of natural and anthropogenic disasters.</p><p>Goals 1 through 4 are intended to provide science to address environmental health threats in a logical order, from informing prevention and preparedness, to supporting systematic management response to environmental health issues. Goal 4 addresses the interaction among contaminants and pathogens, an issue of emerging concern in environmental health science. Goal 5 acknowledges the fact that natural and anthropogenic disasters can cause immediate and prolonged adverse environmental health threats.</p><p>This strategy proposes that USGS take the following strategic science actions to achieve each of the five goals of this strategy:</p><p><strong>Goal 1:</strong> Identify, prioritize, and detect contaminants and pathogens of emerging environmental concern.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 1.</i> - Prioritize contaminants and pathogens of emerging concern to guide research, detection, and management activities.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 2.</i> - Conduct surveillance and monitoring to provide early warning of emerging health threats.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 3.</i> - Develop approaches and tools that identify vulnerable environmental settings, ecosystems, and species.</p><p><strong>Goal 2:</strong> Reduce the impact of contaminants on the environment, fish, wildlife, and people.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 1.</i> - Systematically characterize the sources, occurrence, transport and fate of environmental contaminants to guide efforts to manage and mitigate contamination.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 2.</i> - Evaluate the threats of contamination on the health of the environment, fish, wildlife, and people, and inform the associated management and protection efforts.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 3.</i> - Characterize potential human exposure to support establishment of health-based standards or guidelines and contamination-reduction efforts.</p><p><strong>Goal 3:</strong> Reduce the impact of pathogens on the environment, fish, wildlife, and people.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 1.</i> - Determine the biotic and abiotic factors that control the ecology of infectious diseases affecting natural populations of aquatic and terrestrial species and potential transmission to other animals and humans.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 2.</i> - Establish how natural and anthropogenic environmental changes affect the distribution and severity of infectious diseases in natural populations of aquatic and terrestrial species and potential transmission to other animals and humans.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 3.</i> - Develop surveillance systems to identify changing patterns of disease activity in priority geographic areas.</p><p><strong>Goal 4:</strong> Discover the complex interactions and combined effects of exposure to contaminants and pathogens.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 1.</i> - Identify how exposure to one class of disease agents (contaminants or pathogens) can make an organism more susceptible to effects from exposure to the other class of disease agents.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 2.</i> - Implement interdisciplinary studies that characterize the effects of combined exposure to pathogens and contaminants.</p><p><strong>Goal 5:</strong> Prepare for and respond to the environmental impacts and related health threats of natural and anthropogenic disasters.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 1.</i> - Establish a formal interdisciplinary science capability to rapidly assess the environmental health risks associated with disasters.</p><p><i>- Strategic Science Action 2.</i> - Enhance methods to anticipate, prepare for, and identify environmental, ecological, and related health impacts of future disasters.</p><p>This strategy is one of seven USGS science strategies developed concurrently:</p><p>- Climate and Land Use Change</p><p>- Core Science Systems</p><p>- Ecosystems</p><p>- Energy and Mineral Resources</p><p>- Environmental Health</p><p>- Natural Hazards</p><p>- Water.</p><p>This strategy describes how USGS will address the highest priority environmental health issues facing the Nation. The ultimate intended outcome of this science strategy is prevention and reduction of adverse impacts to the quality of the environment, the health of our living resources, and human health. Communication with, and receiving input from, partners and stakeholders regarding their science needs is essential for successful implementation of this strategy. It is incumbent on USGS to reach out to all stakeholders to ensure that USGS efforts are focused on the highest priority environmental health issues and that products are provided in the most timely and usable form to all those who can use them. USGS must reach out to the scientific community, internally and externally, to ensure that our efforts are integrated with and take full advantage of the activities of others.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20121069","collaboration":"Public Review Release - Feedback on this report will be accepted through August 1, 2012.

The vision and suggested actions are bold and far-reaching, describing a conceptual model and framework to enhance the ability of USGS to bring its core strengths to bear on pressing societal problems through data integration and scientific synthesis across the breadth of science.</p><p>The context of this report is inspired by a direction set forth in the 2007 Science Strategy. Specifically, ecosystem-based approaches provide the underpinnings for essentially all science themes that define the USGS. Every point on earth falls within a specific ecosystem where data, other information assets, and the expertise of USGS and its many partners can be employed to quantitatively understand how that ecosystem functions and how it responds to natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Every benefit society obtains from the planet—food, water, raw materials to build infrastructure, homes and automobiles, fuel to heat homes and cities, and many others, are derived from or effect ecosystems.</p><p>The vision for Core Science Systems builds on core strengths of the USGS in characterizing and understanding complex earth and biological systems through research, modeling, mapping, and the production of high quality data on the nation’s natural resource infrastructure. Together, these research activities provide a foundation for ecosystem-based approaches through geologic mapping, topographic mapping, and biodiversity mapping. The vision describes a framework founded on these core mapping strengths that makes it easier for USGS scientists to discover critical information, share and publish results, and identify potential collaborations that transcend all USGS missions. The framework is designed to improve the efficiency of scientific work within USGS by establishing a means to preserve and recall data for future applications, organizing existing scientific knowledge and data to facilitate new use of older information, and establishing a future workflow that naturally integrates new data, applications, and other science products to make it easier and more efficient to conduct interdisciplinary research over time. Given the increasing need for integrated data and interdisciplinary approaches to solve modern problems, leadership by the Core Science Systems mission will facilitate problem solving by all USGS missions in ways not formerly possible.</p><p>The report lays out a strategy to achieve this vision through three goals with accompanying objectives and actions. The first goal builds on and enhances the strengths of the Core Science Systems mission in characterizing and understanding the earth system from the geologic framework to the topographic characteristics of the land surface and biodiversity across the nation. The second goal enhances and develops new strengths in computer and information science to make it easier for USGS scientists to discover data and models, share and publish results, and discover connections between scientific information and knowledge. The third goal brings additional focus to research and development methods to address complex issues affecting society that require integration of knowledge and new methods for synthesizing scientific information. Collectively, the report lays out a strategy to create a seamless connection between all USGS activities to accelerate and make USGS science more efficient by fully integrating disciplinary expertise within a new and evolving science paradigm for a changing world in the 21st century.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20121093","usgsCitation":"Bristol, R., Euliss, N.H., Booth, N., Burkardt, N., Diffendorfer, J.E., Gesch, D.B., McCallum, B.E., Miller, D., Morman, S.A., Poore, B.S., Signell, R.P., and Viger, R., 2012, Science strategy for Core Science Systems in the U.S. Geological Survey, 2013-2023: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2012-1093, vi, 29 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20121093.","productDescription":"vi, 29 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37226,"text":"Core Science Analytics, Synthesis, and Libraries","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257158,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/ofr_2012_1093.gif"},{"id":338619,"rank":3,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2012/1093/of2012-1093.pdf"},{"id":257139,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2012/1093/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505b8774e4b08c986b3164be","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bristol, R.

Resource managers and policy-makers are faced with countless decisions each year at local, state, tribal, territorial, and national levels on issues as diverse as renewable and non-renewable energy development, agriculture, forestry, water supply, and resource allocations at the urban-rural interface. The urgency for sound decision-making is increasing dramatically as the world is being transformed at an unprecedented pace and in uncertain directions. Environmental changes are associated with natural hazards, greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing demands for water, land, food, energy, mineral, and living resources. At risk is the Nation’s environmental capital, the goods and services provided by resilient ecosystems that are vital to the health and well-being of human societies. Ecosystem science—the study of systems of organisms interacting with their environment and the consequences of natural and human-induced change on these systems—is necessary to inform decision-makers as they develop policies to adapt to these changes.</p><p>This Ecosystems Science Strategy is built on a framework that includes basic and applied science. It highlights the critical roles that USGS scientists and partners can play in building scientific understanding and providing timely information to decision-makers. The strategy underscores the connection between scientific discoveries and the application of new knowledge. The strategy integrates ecosystem science and decision-making, producing new scientific outcomes to assist resource managers and providing public benefits.</p><p>The USGS is uniquely positioned to play an important role in ecosystem science. With its wide range of expertise, the agency can bring holistic, cross-scale, interdisciplinary capabilities to the design and conduct of monitoring, research, and modeling and to new technologies for data collection, management, and visualization. Collectively, these capabilities can be used to reveal ecological patterns and processes, explain how and why ecosystems change, and forecast change over different spatial and temporal scales. USGS science can provide managers with options and decision-support tools to use resources sustainably. The USGS has long-standing, collaborative relationships with the DOI and other partners in the natural sciences, in both conducting science and its application. The USGS engages these partners in cooperative investigations that otherwise would lack the necessary support or be too expensive for a single bureau to conduct.</p><p>The heart of this strategy is a framework and vision for USGS ecosystems science that focuses on five long-term goals, which are seen as interconnected and reinforcing components:<br>•<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Improve understanding of ecosystem structure, function, and processes.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>The focus for this goal is an understanding of how ecosystems work, including the dynamics of species, their populations, interactions, and genetics, and how they change across spatial and temporal scales.<span>&nbsp;</span><br>•<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Advance understanding of how drivers influence ecosystem change.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>The challenges here are explaining the drivers of ecosystem change, their spatio-temporal patterns, their uncertainties and interactions, and their influence on ecosystem processes and dynamics.<span>&nbsp;</span><br>•<strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Improve understanding of the services that ecosystems provide to society.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Here the emphasis is on the measurement of environmental capital and ecosystem services, and the identification of sources and patterns of change in space and time.<span>&nbsp;</span><br>•<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Develop tools, technologies, and capacities to inform decision-making about ecosystems.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>This includes developing new technologies and approaches for conducting applications-oriented ecosystem science. A principal challenge will be how to quantify uncertainty and incorporate it in decision analysis.<span>&nbsp;</span><br>•<strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Apply science to enhance strategies for management, conservation, and restoration of ecosystems.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>These challenges include development of novel approaches to monitoring, assessment, and restoration of ecosystems; new methods to address species of concern and communities at risk; and innovations in decision analysis and support to address imminent ecosystem changes or those that are underway.</p><p>Closely integrated with the five goals are four strategic approaches that provide the path forward for the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area. These approaches cross-cut all of the goals and are seen as essential to the implementation of this strategy:<br><br>•<strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Assess information needs for ecosystem science through enhanced partnerships.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Work with the DOI and other agencies and institutions to identify, design, and implement priority decision-driven ecological research.<br>•<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Promote the use of interdisciplinary ecosystem science.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Design and conduct interdisciplinary process-oriented research in ecosystem science.<span>&nbsp;</span><br>•<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Enhance modeling and forecasting.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Build models to forecast ecosystem change, assess future management scenarios, and reduce uncertainties through an adaptive learning process.<span>&nbsp;</span><br>•<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>Support decision-making.</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>Use quantitative approaches to assess the vulnerabilities of ecosystems, habitats, and species, and evaluate strategies for adaptation, restoration, and sustainable management.</p><p>Following the strategic approaches are a set of proposed actions that represent a sampling of specific activities that align with this strategy and that address the Nation’s most pressing environmental needs.</p><p>The strategy emphasizes coordination of activities across the USGS mission areas pursuant to these goals. Ecosystem science is inherently interdisciplinary and requires a broad perspective that incorporates the biological and physical sciences, climate science, information technology, and scientific capacity in mission areas across the Bureau. With its emphasis on coordination, this strategy can provide a critical underpinning for integrated science efforts with scientists from multiple mission areas of the USGS working together. Of course, the USGS will continue to conduct both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary investigations, and both will continue to be vital parts of the ecosystem science portfolio.</p><p>Finally, the strategy stresses the importance of coordination with other Federal agencies and organizations in the natural resources community. The USGS collaborates with resource agencies in the DOI and other organizations throughout the world to meet societal needs for species and ecosystem management. Working with these agencies and organizations, the USGS will play a key role over the next decade in advancing the scientific foundation for sustaining the natural resources that diverse, productive, resilient ecosystems provide.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20121092","collaboration":"Public Review Release - Feedback on this report will be accepted through August 1, 2012.

The report looks at the relevant issues facing society and develops a strategy built around observing, understanding, predicting, and delivering water science for the next 5 to 10 years by building new capabilities, tools, and delivery systems to meet the Nation&rsquo;s water-resource needs. This report begins by presenting the vision of water science for the USGS and the societal issues that are influenced by, and in turn influence, the water resources of our Nation. The essence of the Water Strategic Science Plan is built on the concept of &ldquo;water availability,&rdquo; defined&nbsp;<i>as spatial and temporal distribution of water quantity and quality, as related to human and ecosystem needs, as affected by human and natural influences</i>. The report also describes the core capabilities of the USGS in water science&mdash;the strengths, partnerships, and science integrity that the USGS has built over its 130-year history.</p>\n<p>Nine priority actions are presented in the report, which combine and elevate the numerous specific strategic actions listed throughout the report. Priority actions were developed as a means of providing the audience of this report with a list for focused attention, even if resources and time limit the ability of managers to address all of the strategic actions in the report. Priority actions focus on the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Improve integrated science planning for water.&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span>Expand and enhance water-resource monitoring networks.</span></li>\n<li><span>Characterize the water cycle through development of state-of-the-art 3-D/4-D hydrogeologic framework models at multiple scales.&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span>Clarify the linkage between human water use (engineered hydrology) and the water cycle (natural hydrology).</span></li>\n<li><span class=\"indent0\">Advance ecological flow science.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span class=\"indent0\">Provide flood-inundation science and information.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span class=\"indent0\">Develop rapid deployment teams for water-related emergencies.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span class=\"indent0\">Conduct integrated watershed assessment, research, and modeling.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span>Deliver water data and analyses to the Nation.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p>The body of the report is presented as a hierarchal set of 5 goals, 14 objectives, and 27 strategic actions that the USGS should undertake to advance water science through year 2022.&nbsp;<br />The goals deal with:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><span>Providing society the information it needs regarding the amount and quality of water in all components of the water cycle at high temporal and spatial resolution, nationwide;&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span>Advancing our understanding of processes that determine water availability;&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span>Predicting changes in the quantity and quality of water resources in response to changing climate, population, land use, and management scenarios;</span></li>\n<li><span>Anticipating and responding to water-related emergencies and conflicts; and&nbsp;</span></li>\n<li><span>Delivering timely hydrologic data, analyses, and decision-support tools seamlessly across the Nation to support water-resource decisions.</span></li>\n</ol>\n<p>Scientific information produced on water resources would be without value if it were not communicated to society in a fashion that can inform decisions and actions. Therefore, the chapter following the goals describes how the USGS should inform, involve, and educate society about the science it produces. This includes discussions on local outreach and the use of social media for effective communication.</p>\n<p>This report concludes with a chapter devoted to the crosscutting science issues of the Water Mission Area with the other USGS Mission Areas: Climate and Land Use Change, Core Science Systems, Ecosystems, Energy and Minerals, Environmental Health Science, and Natural Hazards. Not one of these Mission Areas stands alone&mdash;all must work together and integrate their actions to fulfill the USGS science mission for the future. This final chapter identifies the important linkages that must be realized and maintained for this integration to occur.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological

Topographic surveys and discharge records from 281 cross sections at 82 gaging stations with drainage areas of 0.52-396 square miles were used to create log-log regressions of region-based relations between bankfull HG metrics and drainage area. The success with which regional models distinguished unique bankfull discharge and HG patterns was assessed by comparing each regional model to those for all other regions and a pooled statewide model. Gages were also stratified (grouped) by mean annual runoff (MAR), Rosgen stream type, and water-surface slope to test if these models were better predictors of HG to drainage area relations. Bankfull discharge models for Regions 4 and 7 were outside the 95% confidence interval bands of the statewide model, and bankfull width, depth, and cross-sectional area models for Region 3 differed significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.05) from those of other regions. This study found that statewide relations between drainage area and HG were strongest when data were stratified by hydrologic region, but that co-variable models could yield more accurate HG estimates in some local regional curve applications.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of the American Water Resources Association","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Water Resources Association","publisherLocation":"Middleburg, VA","doi":"10.1111/j.1752-1688.2011.00623.x","usgsCitation":"Mulvihill, C., and Baldigo, B.P., 2012, Optimizing bankfull discharge and hydraulic geometry relations for streams in New York state: Journal of the American Water Resources Association, v. 48, no. 3, p. 449-463, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-1688.2011.00623.x.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"449","endPage":"463","costCenters":[{"id":474,"text":"New York Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":474485,"rank":10000,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-1688.2011.00623.x","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":257153,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":257140,"rank":9999,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-1688.2011.00623.x"}],"country":"United States","state":"New York","volume":"48","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-01-17","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a6effe4b0c8380cd758e3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Mulvihill, Christiane I.","contributorId":31821,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mulvihill","given":"Christiane I.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":463120,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Baldigo, Barry P. 0000-0002-9862-9119 bbaldigo@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9862-9119","contributorId":1234,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Baldigo","given":"Barry","email":"bbaldigo@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":474,"text":"New York Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":463119,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Previous models estimating the impact on wildlife of chemicals used in agro-ecosystems typically have not included the variety of pathways, including both dermal and oral, by which individuals are exposed. The present model contains four submodels simulating (1) foraging behavior of individual birds, (2) chemical applications to crops, (3) transfers of chemicals among soil, insects, and small mammals, and (4) transfers of chemicals to birds via ingestion and dermal exposure. We demonstrate use of the model by simulating the impacts of a variety of commonly used herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, and defoliants on western burrowing owls (<i>Athene cunicularia hypugaea</i>) that winter in agricultural landscapes in southern Texas, United States. The model generated reasonable movement patterns for each chemical through soil, water, insects, and rodents, as well as into the owl via consumption and dermal absorption. Sensitivity analysis suggested model predictions were sensitive to uncertainty associated with estimates of chemical half-lives in birds, soil, and prey, sensitive to parameters associated with estimating dermal exposure, and relatively insensitive to uncertainty associated with details of chemical application procedures (timing of application, amount of drift). Nonetheless, the general trends in chemical accumulations and the relative impacts of the various chemicals were robust to these parameter changes. Simulation results suggested that insecticides posed a greater potential risk to owls of both sublethal and lethal effects than do herbicides, defoliants, and growth regulators under crop scenarios typical of southern Texas, and that use of multiple indicators, or endpoints provided a more accurate assessment of risk due to agricultural chemical exposure. The model should prove useful in helping prioritize the chemicals and transfer pathways targeted in future studies and also, as these new data become available, in assessing the relative danger to other birds of exposure to different types of agricultural chemicals.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","publisherLocation":"Amsterdam, Netherlands","doi":"10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2011.10.017","usgsCitation":"Engelman, C.A., Grant, W.E., Mora, M.A., and Woodin, M., 2012, Modelling effects of chemical exposure on birds wintering in agricultural landscapes: The western burrowing owl (<i>Athene cunicularia hypugaea</i>) as a case study: Ecological Modelling, v. 224, no. 1, p. 90-102, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2011.10.017.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"90","endPage":"102","costCenters":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257306,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","volume":"224","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a5c66e4b0c8380cd6fc7e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Engelman, Catherine A.","contributorId":33566,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Engelman","given":"Catherine","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464340,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Grant, William E.","contributorId":88590,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grant","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464343,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Mora, Miguel A. 0000-0002-8393-0216","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8393-0216","contributorId":46643,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mora","given":"Miguel","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464341,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Woodin, Marc","contributorId":84201,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Woodin","given":"Marc","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":464342,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We determined the contribution of physical isolation of organic matter (OM) inside aggregates, chemical interaction of OM with soil minerals, and molecular structure of SOM in controlling storage and persistence of SOM in different types of eroding and depositional landform positions. By combining density fractionation with elemental and spectroscopic analyses, we showed that SOM in depositional settings is less transformed and better preserved than SOM in eroding landform positions. However, which environmental factors exert primary control on storage and persistence of SOM depended on the nature of the landform position considered. In an annual grassland watershed, protection of SOM by physical isolation inside aggregates and chemical association of organic matter (complexation) with soil minerals, as assessed by correlation with radiocarbon concentration, were more effective in the poorly drained, lowest-lying depositional landform positions, compared to well-drained landform positions in the upper parts of the watershed. Results of this study demonstrated that processes of soil erosion and deposition are important mechanisms of long-term OM stabilization.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Geophysical Union","publisherLocation":"Hoboken, NJ","doi":"10.1029/2011JG001790","usgsCitation":"Berhe, A., Harden, J.W., Torn, M.S., Kleber, M., Burton, S., and Harte, J., 2012, Persistence of soil organic matter in eroding versus depositional landform positions: Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, v. 117, no.

The State of Oklahoma requires each owner of a high-hazard dam, which the Federal Emergency Management Agency defines as dams for which failure or misoperation probably will cause loss of human life, to develop an emergency action plan specific to that dam. Components of an emergency action plan are to simulate a flood resulting from a possible dam breach and map the resulting downstream flood-inundation areas. The resulting flood-inundation maps can provide valuable information to city officials, emergency managers, and local residents for planning the emergency response if a dam breach occurs. Accurate topographic data are vital for developing flood-inundation maps. This report presents results of a cooperative study by the city of Lawton, Oklahoma, and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to model dam-breach scenarios at Lakes Ellsworth and Lawtonka near Lawton and to map the potential flood-inundation areas of such dam breaches. To assist the city of Lawton with completion of the emergency action plans for Lakes Ellsworth and Lawtonka Dams, the USGS collected light detection and ranging (lidar) data that were used to develop a high-resolution digital elevation model and a 1-foot contour elevation map for the flood plains downstream from Lakes Ellsworth and Lawtonka. This digital elevation model and field measurements, streamflow-gaging station data (USGS streamflow-gaging station 07311000, East Cache Creek near Walters, Okla.), and hydraulic values were used as inputs for the dynamic (unsteady-flow) model, Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). The modeled flood elevations were exported to a geographic information system to produce flood-inundation maps.

In 2005 and 2006, age-1 and older rainbow trout were captured above a 5-m-high waterfall in Freshwater Creek and individually marked with passive integrated transponder tags. Otolith microchemistry confirmed that the above-barrier trout were the progeny of resident rather than anadromous parents, and genetic analysis indicated that the rainbow trout were introgressed with cutthroat trout <i>O. clarkii</i>. At each of three sampling events, half of the tagged individuals (<i>n</i> = 22 and 43 trout in 2005 and 2006, respectively) were released 5 km downstream from the waterfall (approximately 10 km upstream from tidewater), and an equal number of tagged individuals were released above the barrier. Tagged individuals were subsequently relocated with stationary and mobile antennae or recaptured in downstream migrant traps, or both, until tracking ceased in October 2007. Most transplanted individuals remained within a few hundred meters of their release location. Three individuals, including one rainbow trout released above the waterfall, were last detected in the tidally influenced lower creek. Two additional tagged individuals released above the barrier were found alive in below-barrier reaches and had presumably washed over the falls. Two of seven tagged rainbow trout captured in downstream migrant traps had smolted and one was a presmolt. The smoltification of at least some individuals, coupled with above-barrier \"leakage\" of fish downstream, suggests that above-barrier resident trout have the potential to exhibit migratory behavior and to enter breeding populations of steelhead (anadromous rainbow trout) within the basin.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor and Francis","doi":"10.1080/00028487.2012.662204","usgsCitation":"Wilzbach, M.A., Ashenfelter, M.J., and Ricker, S.J., 2012, Movement of resident rainbow trout transplanted below a barrier to anadromy: Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, v. 141, no. 2, p. 294-304, https://doi.org/10.1080/00028487.2012.662204.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"294","endPage":"304","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-029228","costCenters":[{"id":204,"text":"Cooperative Research Unit Seattle","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":257295,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","volume":"141","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2012-03-06","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a5f20e4b0c8380cd70da7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wilzbach, Margaret A.","contributorId":76981,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wilzbach","given":"Margaret","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348826,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ashenfelter, Mark J.","contributorId":24613,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ashenfelter","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348824,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ricker, Seth J.","contributorId":38828,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ricker","given":"Seth","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":348825,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

However, there are few studies that examine approaches to design of field investigations that include multiple methods. We propose that performing field measurements in a spatially telescoping sequence improves measurement flexibility and accounts for nested heterogeneities while still allowing for parsimonious experimental design. We applied this spatially telescoping approach in a study of ground water-surface water (GW-SW) interaction during baseflow conditions along Lucile Creek, located near Wasilla, Alaska. Catchment-scale data, including channel geomorphic indices and hydrogeologic transects, were used to screen areas of potentially significant GW-SW exchange. Specifically, these data indicated increasing groundwater contribution from a deeper regional aquifer along the middle to lower reaches of the stream. This initial assessment was tested using reach-scale estimates of groundwater contribution during baseflow conditions, including differential discharge measurements and the use of chemical tracers analyzed in a three-component mixing model. The reach-scale measurements indicated a large increase in discharge along the middle reaches of the stream accompanied by a shift in chemical composition towards a regional groundwater end member. Finally, point measurements of vertical water fluxes -- obtained using seepage meters as well as temperature-based methods -- were used to evaluate spatial and temporal variability of GW-SW exchange within representative reaches. The spatial variability of upward fluxes, estimated using streambed temperature mapping at the sub-reach scale, was observed to vary in relation to both streambed composition and the magnitude of groundwater contribution from differential discharge measurements. The spatially telescoping approach improved the efficiency of this field investigation. Beginning our assessment with catchment-scale data allowed us to identify locations of GW-SW exchange, plan measurements at representative field sites and improve our interpretation of reach-scale and point-scale measurements.","largerWorkType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"largerWorkTitle":"Journal of Hydrology","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2012.04.002","usgsCitation":"Kikuchi, C., Ferre, T.P., and Welker, J.M., 2012, Spatially telescoping measurements for improved characterization of groundwater-surface water interactions: Journal of Hydrology, v. 446-447, p. 1-12, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2012.04.002.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"12","numberOfPages":"13","ipdsId":"IP-030766","costCenters":[{"id":128,"text":"Arizona Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":275411,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":275410,"type":{"id":10,"text":"Digital Object Identifier"},"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2012.04.002"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Lucile Creek","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -150.0,61.466667 ], [ -150.0,61.666667 ], [ -149.416667,61.666667 ], [ -149.416667,61.466667 ], [ -150.0,61.466667 ] ] ] } } ] }","volume":"446-447","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"51f25423e4b0279fe2e1c02e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kikuchi, Colin ckikuchi@usgs.gov","contributorId":3958,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kikuchi","given":"Colin","email":"ckikuchi@usgs.gov","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":478336,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ferre, Ty P.A.","contributorId":102167,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ferre","given":"Ty","email":"","middleInitial":"P.A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":478338,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Welker, Jeffery M.","contributorId":43654,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Welker","given":"Jeffery","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":478337,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

A 28-day laboratory toxicity test with Pb and adult Eastern elliptio mussels (Elliptio complanata) was conducted to determine uptake kinetics and to assess the toxicological effects of Pb exposure. Test mussels were collected from a relatively uncontaminated reference site and exposed to a water-only control and five concentrations of Pb (as lead nitrate) ranging from 1 to 245 mu g/L in a static renewal test with a water hardness of 42 mg/L. Endpoints included tissue Pb concentrations, hemolymph Pb and ion (Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca2+) concentrations, and Na+, K+-ATPase enzyme activity in gill tissue. Mussels accumulated Pb rapidly, with tissue concentrations increasing at an exposure-dependent rate for the first 2 weeks, but with no significant increase from 2 to 4 weeks. Mussel tissue Pb concentrations ranged from 0.34 to 898 mu g/g dry weight, were strongly related to Pb in test water at every time interval (7, 14, 21, and 28 days), and did not significantly increase after day 14. Hemolymph Pb concentration was variable, dependent on exposure concentration, and showed no appreciable change with time beyond day 7, except for mussels in the greatest exposure concentration (245 mu g/L), which showed a significant reduction in Pb by 28 days, suggesting a threshold for Pb binding or elimination in hemolymph at concentrations near 1000 mu g/g. The Na+, K+-ATPase activity in the gill tissue of mussels was significantly reduced by Pb on day 28 and was highly correlated with tissue Pb concentration (R2 = 0.92; P = 0.013). The Na+, K+-ATPase activity was correlated with reduced hemolymph Na+ concentration at the greatest Pb exposure when enzyme activity was at 30% of controls. Hemolymph Ca2+ concentration increased significantly in mussels from the greatest Pb exposure and may be due to remobilization from the shell in an attempt to buffer the hemolymph against Pb uptake and toxicity. We conclude that Na+, K+-ATPase activity in mussels was adversely affected by Pb exposure, however, because the effects on activity were variable at the lower test concentrations, additional research is warranted over this range of exposures.
