Quantitative landslide risk analysis is a key step in creating appropriate land use policies. The forced migration of those displaced by recent armed conflict in Syria has highlighted the need for studies to guide humanitarian aid and resettlement policies. Over 1.5 million displaced Syrians now reside in Lebanon, self-settling throughout the country through urban integration and informal encampment due to Lebanon's prohibition of formal refugee camps. The Syrian-Lebanon refugee crisis coincides with the recent reexamination of the established aid practice of camp-based resettlement, focused on issues of aid efficacy, security, and human dignity but lacking an environmental hazards perspective. In light of these issues, we quantitatively assess the landslide risk profile of Lebanon, finding a 75% increase in landslide risk since the start of the Syrian crisis. The risk is highest in the debris flow-prone mountains of central and northeastern Lebanon. Additionally, Syrian refugees settled in informal camps experience 9–11 times greater risk then urban populations due to sub-standard shelter, suggesting that urban rather than camp-based resettlement policies are preferable from an environmental-hazards perspective.
White-nose syndrome (WNS) caused by the fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) has killed millions of North American hibernating bats. Currently, methods to prevent the disease are limited. We conducted two trials to assess potential WNS vaccine candidates in wild-caught Myotis lucifugus. In a pilot study, we immunized bats with one of four vaccine treatments or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as a control and challenged them with Pd upon transfer into hibernation chambers. Bats in one vaccine-treated group, that received raccoon poxviruses (RCN) expressing Pd calnexin (CAL) and serine protease (SP), developed WNS at a lower rate (1/10) than other treatments combined (14/23), although samples sizes were small. The results of a second similar trial provided additional support for this observation. Bats vaccinated orally or by injection with RCN-CAL and RCN-SP survived Pd challenge at a significantly higher rate (P = 0.01) than controls. Using RT-PCR and flow cytometry, combined with fluorescent in situ hybridization, we determined that expression of IFN-γ transcripts and the number of CD4 + T-helper cells transcribing this gene were elevated (P < 0.10) in stimulated lymphocytes from surviving vaccinees (n = 15) compared to controls (n = 3). We conclude that vaccination with virally-vectored Pdantigens induced antifungal immunity that could potentially protect bats against WNS.
Life-history theory predicts that rapid growth comes at a cost to offspring quality and adult longevity. However, trade-offs have been examined primarily based on proximate variation within species rather than evolved differences across species. Evolved differences are important to examine because species may co-evolve mechanisms to reduce long-term costs of rapid growth. For example, trade-offs associated with fast growth and short development time might be expressed in ephemeral traits because costs associated with these traits are paid for only a short duration. We explored this idea using nestling body feathers, an ephemeral trait, and examined whether shorter development time yielded lower quality feathers. We found a strong trade-off whereby nestlings that spend more time in the nest produced higher quality plumage across 123 temperate and tropical species. Using a subset of these species (n=67), we found that plumage quality was lower in species with higher rates of nest predation, which favors rapid nestling growth and short development times. Our results suggest that evolution of more rapid growth may co-evolve with other mechanisms whereby long-term costs are reduced by shifting costs of allocational trade-offs to ephemeral traits that are short-lived.

One of the early steps in the implementation process is to prioritize and justify mapping needs. This is accomplished by holding six regional workshops across the state during which stakeholders and partners are introduced to a newly developed geospatial prioritization tool. Users independently utilize the tool to populate grid cells for a given region, and the result is a cumulative perspective on sea floor mapping priorities to inform future mapping initiatives. The tool also allows participants to indicate their primary use of sea floor mapping data and types of additional data required for their science or management need.","language":"English","publisher":"World Scientific","doi":"10.1142/9789811204487_0184","usgsCitation":"Hapke, C.J., Druyor, R., Baumstark, R.D., Kramer, P., Fitos, E., Fredericks, X., and

dated Upper Herto Member of Ethiopia’s Bouri Formation continue to produce new data that complement and extend initial reports of fossils and artifacts published in 2003. Results of these revisits are reported here and include the in situ recovery of artifacts from the same sediments containing hominid fossils. We evaluate the absolute and relative temporal placement of the Herto discoveries in light of new field observations and in the context of new data from the Omo Kibish Formation of southern Ethiopia. The Upper Herto Member stone tool assemblage includes artifacts normally typologically attributed to both Acheulean and Middle Stone Age industries or technocomplexes. These discoveries and other aspects of continuing Herto research help to elucidate the timing and patterns of technological, behavioral, and anatomical change in Africa during the evolution of our species.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Modern Human Origins and Dispersal","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Kerns Verlag","isbn":"9783935751308","usgsCitation":"Sahle, Y., Beyene, Y., Defleur, A., Asfaw, B., WoldeGabriel, G., Hart, W.K., Morgan, L.E., Renne, P.R., Carlson, J., and White, T., 2019, Revisiting Herto: New evidence of Homo sapiens from Ethiopia, chap. 3 of Modern Human Origins and Dispersal, p. 73-104.","productDescription":"32 p.","startPage":"73","endPage":"104","ipdsId":"IP-102180","costCenters":[{"id":171,"text":"Central Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":369938,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":362677,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://kernsverlag.com/en/modern-human-origins-and-dispersal"}],"country":"Ethiopia","geographicExtents":"{\"type\":\"FeatureCollection\",\"features\":[{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"geometry\":{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[37.90607,14.95943],[38.51295,14.50547],[39.0994,14.74064],[39.34061,14.53155],[40.02625,14.51959],[40.8966,14.11864],[41.1552,13.77333],[41.59856,13.45209],[42.00975,12.86582],[42.35156,12.54223],[42,12.1],[41.66176,11.6312],[41.73959,11.35511],[41.75557,11.05091],[42.31414,11.0342],[42.55493,11.10511],[42.77685,10.92688],[42.55876,10.57258],[42.92812,10.02194],[43.29699,9.54048],[43.67875,9.18358],[46.94834,7.99688],[47.78942,8.003],[44.9636,5.00162],[43.66087,4.95755],[42.76967,4.25259],[42.12861,4.23413],[41.85508,3.91891],[41.1718,3.91909],[40.76848,4.25702],[39.85494,3.83879],[39.55938,3.42206],[38.89251,3.50074],[38.67114,3.61607],[38.43697,3.58851],[38.12092,3.59861],[36.85509,4.44786],[36.15908,4.44786],[35.81745,4.77697],[35.81745,5.33823],[35.29801,5.506],[34.70702,6.59422],[34.25032,6.82607],[34.0751,7.22595],[33.56829,7.71334],[32.95418,7.78497],[33.2948,8.35458],[33.8255,8.37916],[33.97498,8.68456],[33.96162,9.58358],[34.25745,10.63009],[34.73115,10.91017],[34.83163,11.31896],[35.26049,12.08286],[35.86363,12.57828],[36.27022,13.56333],[36.42951,14.42211],[37.59377,14.2131],[37.90607,14.95943]]]},\"properties\":{\"name\":\"Ethiopia\"}}]}","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sahle, Yonatan","contributorId":214635,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sahle","given":"Yonatan","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":39092,"text":"1DFG Center for Advanced Studies: Words, Bones, Genes, Tools.

The increase in moderate moment magnitude induced earthquakes (Mw 4 to 5.8) in Oklahoma and Kansas since 2009, due to increased wastewater injection related to oil and gas production (Keranen et al., 2013; 2014; Weingarten et al., 2015; McNamara et al., 2015a), provides useful near-source (< 40 km) instrumental ground-motion observations for comparisons between central and eastern US (CEUS) induced (Rennolet et al., 2017) and tectonic (Goulet et al., 2014) earthquakes. In this study, we evaluate over 50 GMMs using two well-established probabilistic scoring methods: log likelihood (LLH) (Scherbaum et al., 2004; 2009) and multivariate LLH (MLLH) (Mak et al., 2017). The LLH approach compares the mean and standard deviation (σ) of the observed and modeled ground motions. The MLLH approach advances the LLH method by considering the variability (φ,τ) of multiple correlated variables namely intra- (within) and inter- (between) event residuals.\n \nFor the probabilistic scoring GMM evaluation methods (LLH, MLLH), we compute horizontal component peak ground acceleration (PGA) and 1s period pseudo spectral acceleration (PSA1.0) total residuals using GMM software (nshmp-haz) recently implemented by the USGS National Seismic Hazard Model Project (NSHMP). We observe from LLH and MLLH scores that: 1) newer GMMs with lower standard deviations (σ,φ,τ) score better than older GMMs with higher published uncertainty; 2) 2014 CEUS GMMs score better for CEUS tectonic earthquakes than induced earthquakes; 3) NGA-West2, G17 and A15 GMMs score well for CEUS induced earthquake ground motions; and 4) NGA-East GMMs score well for CEUS tectonic earthquake ground motions. We also use the LLH and MLLH scores to evaluate GMM weights applied in past USGS seismic hazard forecasts and to inform weighting of GMMs in future seismic hazard forecasts.","language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/0120180106","usgsCitation":"McNamara, D.E., Petersen, M.D., Thompson, E.M., Powers, P.M., Shumway, A., Hoover, S.M., Moschetti, M.P., and Wolin, E., 2019, Evaluation of ground motion models for USGS seismic hazard forecasts: Induced and tectonic earthquakes in the Central and Eastern U.S.: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, v. 109, no. 1, p. 322-335, https://doi.org/10.1785/0120180106.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"322","endPage":"335","ipdsId":"IP-103404","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":363496,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","volume":"109","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2018-11-20","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McNamara, Daniel E. 0000-0001-6860-0350 mcnamara@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6860-0350","contributorId":402,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McNamara","given":"Daniel","email":"mcnamara@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":762094,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Petersen, Mark D. 0000-0001-8542-3990 mpetersen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8542-3990","contributorId":1163,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Petersen","given":"Mark","email":"mpetersen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":762095,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Thompson, Eric M. 0000-0002-6943-4806 emthompson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6943-4806","contributorId":146592,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thompson","given":"Eric","email":"emthompson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":762096,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Powers, Peter M. 0000-0003-2124-6184 pmpowers@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2124-6184","contributorId":176814,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Powers","given":"Peter","email":"pmpowers@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":762097,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Shumway, Allison 0000-0003-1142-7141 ashumway@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1142-7141","contributorId":147862,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Shumway","given":"Allison","email":"ashumway@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":762098,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Hoover, Susan M. 0000-0002-8682-6668 shoover@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8682-6668","contributorId":5715,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hoover","given":"Susan","email":"shoover@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":762099,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Moschetti, Morgan P. 0000-0001-7261-0295 mmoschetti@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7261-0295","contributorId":1662,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Moschetti","given":"Morgan","email":"mmoschetti@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":762100,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Wolin, Emily 0000-0003-1610-1191 ewolin@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1610-1191","contributorId":198778,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wolin","given":"Emily","email":"ewolin@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":762101,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}} ,{"id":70204987,"text":"70204987 -

These patterns are similar to those observed in arid and semiarid systems around the globe, but our ability to predict which species will experience increased drought‐induced mortality in response to climate change remains limited. We investigated meteorological drought‐induced mortality of nine dominant plant species in the Colorado Plateau Desert by experimentally imposing a year‐round 35% precipitation reduction for eight continuous years. We distributed experimental plots across numerous plant, soil, and parent material types, resulting in 40 distinct sites across a 4,500 km2 region of the Colorado Plateau Desert. For all 8 years, we tracked c. 400 individual plants and evaluated mortality responses to treatments within and across species, and through time. We also examined the influence of abiotic and biotic site factors in driving mortality responses. Overall, high mortality trends were driven by dominant grass species, including Achnatherum hymenoides, Pleuraphis jamesii, and Sporobolus cryptandrus. Responses varied widely from year to year and dominant shrub species were generally resistant to meteorological drought, likely due to their ability to access deeper soil water. Importantly, mortality increased in the presence of invasive species regardless of treatment, and native plant die‐off occurred even under ambient conditions, suggesting that recent climate changes are already negatively impacting dominant species in these systems. Results from this long‐term drought experiment suggest major shifts in community composition and, as a result, ecosystem function. Patterns also show that, across multiple soil and plant community types, native perennial grass species may be replaced by shrubs and invasive annuals in the Colorado Plateau Desert.

Government Series"},"title":"Snake River fall chinook salmon life history investigations, 2018 annual report","docAbstract":"The following report is divided into three sections each of which describes work conducted by different project cooperators. Chapter One describes smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) predation on subyearling fall Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in Lower Granite Reservoir in 2018. Smallmouth bass abundance increased seasonally in shoreline habitats and was highest in the lower reach of the reservoir (1,239 fish/km of shoreline). Abundance ranged from 40,743 to 81,595 in 2018. We examined the relationship between smallmouth bass predation and subyearling habitat suitability. Bass abundance was highest in “natural” habitat (i.e., habitat with natural substrate that was not deemed suitable for subyearlings) and fish were generally larger in habitat classified as “suitable” (i.e., habitat deemed suitable rearing) for subyearling Chinook salmon. Subyearlings were present in all habitat types sampled but their abundance was 2–3 times lower in the lower reach of the reservoir. Sand rollers (Percopsis transmontana)—a common prey of smallmouth bass—were present in greatest numbers in “suitable” habitat in the upper reach and “natural” habitat in the middle reservoir reach, but few were observed in the lower reservoir. The total loss of subyearlings to smallmouth bass predation in 2018 (120,023) was slightly less than one-half that of 2016 (266,988) and more than twice that of 2017 (47,830). Total sand roller loss in 2018 (149,106) was slightly more than one-half the losses estimated in 2016 and 2017. Chapter Two describes the feasibility of using stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to distinguish hatchery and natural origin subyearling fall Chinook salmon that were consumed by smallmouth bass. A discriminant function was fit from isotopic signatures and fork length from known-origin hatchery and natural subyearlings. The function had an overall correct classification rate of 97.2%. Of subyearlings consumed by smallmouth bass the function correctly classified 94.3% of hatchery fish but only 64.3% of natural fish based on fish origins that were validated with parentage-based tagging (PBT) analysis. Most of the fish consumed by smallmouth bass were of hatchery origin and most of those were of the spring/summer run early in the year and of the fall run later in the year. Based on analysis of known-origin hatchery fish collected at Lower Granite Dam through time following release, using stable isotopes as a discriminatory tool is probably only effective for about two weeks following release, but may have greater utility in unimpounded systems where fish emigrate seaward more quickly. The third section of this report is a Master’s Thesis that covers work conducted under contracts 46273 REL 14 and 79562. The first chapter of the thesis examined growth of subyearling fall Chinook salmon rearing in three sections of the Snake and Clearwater rivers and Lower Granite Reservoir. Growth and food consumption were highest in the reservoir section than in riverine sections, though growth was not significantly higher in the reservoir for the full duration of the study. Julian date was the strongest predictor of growth and consumption, and both growth and consumption decreased over the course of the study, even when accounting for allometric growth effects. Findings suggest that fish rearing in the reservoir section during their early growth period may have an ephemeral energetic advantage relative to fish rearing in natal river sections. The second chapter of the thesis examined the spatial variation in natal river rearing and downstream movement in Snake River fall Chinook salmon. Based on otolith analyses, natal origin was related to differential habitat use with fish from the Clearwater River accruing 48% of their freshwater growth in their natal river compared to 40% for Snake River fish. These differences were associated with different mean size at natal river exit and at ocean entry.

General faults, which are among four active structures in the northwestern portion of the eastern California shear zone (ECSZ). Early mapping depicts the Lockhart and Mt. General faults as discontinuous fault traces that continue northwest of the Lenwood Fault. Recent work indicates that the Lenwood Fault slips at ~0.2-1.0 mm/yr over the past ~8 ka and 0.8 ± 0.2 mm/yr since ~37 ± 7 ka. We reconstruct the record of fault slip for the Lockhart and Mt. General faults using high-resolution Structure-from-Motion built topography, field observations, geochronology, and gravity data. Geomorphic offsets along a Holocene-active trace of the Lockhart Fault indicate dextral displacement between ~4 and 6 m. A feldspar infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) age implies surface abandonment and at least one earthquake after 3540 ± 880 ka (2σ). The implied Holocene fault slip rate on the Lockhart Fault is between ~0.9 and 2.3 mm/yr. Holocene-active traces of the 19-km-long Mt. General Fault are marked by southwest-facing scarps and dextral offsets of ~4–5 m on alluvial fans, with down-to-the-southwest vertical offset of ~0.3 m. Summing dextral displacements across subparallel fault strands yields a maximum of ~7–8 m. A feldspar IRSL age indicates deposition of the alluvial fans since 11,380 ± 1700 ka (2σ). This results in a Holocene slip ~0.3–0.6 mm/yr, possibly ranging up to 1.0 mm/yr. Taken together, these observations imply a net Holocene dextral slip rate for active faults in Hinkley Valley at 1.2–3.3 mm/yr―higher than expected given published fault slip rates along-strike to the southeast.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Exploring the ends of eras in the eastern Mojave Desert: 2019 Desert symposium field guide and proceedings","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"2019 Desert Symposium","conferenceDate":"Apr 2019","conferenceLocation":"Zzyzx, CA","language":"English","publisher":"Desert Symposium","usgsCitation":"Haddon, E., Miller, D., Langenheim, V., and Mahan, S.A., 2019, Distributed fault slip in the eastern California shear zone: Adding pieces to the puzzle near Barstow, California, in Exploring the ends of eras in the eastern Mojave Desert: 2019 Desert symposium field guide and proceedings, Zzyzx, CA, Apr 2019, p. 134-140.","productDescription":"7 p.","startPage":"134","endPage":"140","ipdsId":"IP-106799","costCenters":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":377627,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":377626,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.desertsymposium.org/History.html"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","city":"Barstow","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -119.68505859375,\n 34.62868797377059\n ],\n [\n -116.83959960937499,\n 34.62868797377059\n ],\n [\n -116.83959960937499,\n 35.73090666520053\n ],\n [\n -119.68505859375,\n 35.73090666520053\n ],\n [\n -119.68505859375,\n 34.62868797377059\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Haddon, Elizabeth K. 0000-0001-7601-7755","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7601-7755","contributorId":238720,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haddon","given":"Elizabeth K.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":796411,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Miller, David M. 0000-0003-3711-0441","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3711-0441","contributorId":238721,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Miller","given":"David M.","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":796412,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Langenheim, Victoria 0000-0003-2170-5213","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2170-5213","contributorId":216217,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Langenheim","given":"Victoria","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":796413,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Mahan, Shannon A. 0000-0001-5214-7774 smahan@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5214-7774","contributorId":147159,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mahan","given":"Shannon","email":"smahan@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":796414,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}} ,{"id":70203183,"text":"sim3433 -

The current map and associated report document the construction of contours representing the groundwater-level surface of winter (November to March) conditions for water year 2016 and estimated net groundwater-level declines (called drawdown) since widespread groundwater pumping began in the early 1960s (called predevelopment conditions).
Prior to 2008, groundwater withdrawal from the Santa Fe Group aquifer system was the principal water supply for the study area. The large quantity of withdrawal relative to recharge resulted in drawdown throughout the Albuquerque area. In response, the ABCWUA implemented a strategy for sustainable development of its water resources, including the diversion of surface water as part of the San Juan-Chama Drinking Water Project in 2008. The 2016 groundwater-level contours indicate that the general direction of groundwater flow is towards clusters of production wells in the eastern and northwestern parts of the study area. Drawdown from predevelopment to 2016 is greatest along the eastern margin of the study area and in the northwestern part of the study area, likely correlated with groundwater withdrawals and potentially compounded by proximity to faults. Comparing drawdown in water year 2016 to that of water years 2002, 2008, and 2012 shows a reduction in drawdown (groundwater-level rebound) in the study area since 2008, which corresponds with the timing of reductions in groundwater withdrawals as a result of the ABCWUA’s San Juan-Chama Drinking Water Project. Time-series analysis of groundwater-level measurements in piezometers within the study area also indicates the recent groundwater-level rebound since 2008.

We conducted a designed experiment to test whether having a thermal-imaging camera available affected researchers' nest detection rates when searching for bird nests in cropland and grassland habitat in an agricultural landscape of Iowa, USA, in 2016. With known active nests present, naïve observers searched for nests with and without a thermal imager available. We did not find a difference in detection probabilities, although only a large difference would have been detectable with our sample size. Extraneous heat signatures from reflected solar radiation and dense vegetation were key factors limiting the usefulness of thermal imagers for locating nests.

The protective services of these natural defenses are not assessed in the same rigorous economic terms as artificial defenses, such as seawalls, and therefore often are not considered in decision making. Here we combine engineering, ecologic, geospatial, social, and economic tools to provide a rigorous valuation of the coastal protection benefits of all U.S. coral reefs in the States of Hawaiʻi and Florida, the territories of Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. We follow risk-based valuation approaches to map flood zones at 10-square-meter resolution along all 3,100+ kilometers of U.S. reef-lined shorelines for different storm probabilities to account for the effect of coral reefs in reducing coastal flooding. We quantify the coastal flood risk reduction benefits provided by coral reefs across storm return intervals using the latest information from the U.S. Census Bureau, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Bureau of Economic Analysis to identify their annual expected benefits, a measure of the annual protection provided by coral reefs. Based on these results, the annual protection provided by U.S. coral reefs is estimated in:
Thus, the annual value of flood risk reduction provided by U.S. coral reefs is more than 18,000 lives and \\$1.805 billion in 2010 U.S. dollars. These data provide stakeholders and decision makers with spatially explicit, rigorous valuation of how, where, and when U.S. coral reefs provide critical coastal storm flood reduction benefits. The overall goal is to ultimately reduce the risk to, and increase the resiliency of, U.S. coastal communities.

This much is clear: the Arctic is warming fast, and frozen soils are starting to thaw, often for the first time in thousands of years. But how this happens is as murky as the mud that oozes from permafrost when ice melts.
As the temperature of the ground rises above freezing, microorganisms break down organic matter in the soil. Greenhouse gases — including carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — are released into the atmosphere, accelerating global warming. Soils in the permafrost region hold twice as much carbon as the atmosphere does — almost 1,600 billion tonnes1.
What fraction of that will decompose? Will it be released suddenly, or seep out slowly? We need to find out.
Current models of greenhouse-gas release and climate assume that permafrost thaws gradually from the surface downwards. Deeper layers of organic matter are exposed over decades or even centuries, and some models are beginning to track these slow changes.
But models are ignoring an even more troubling problem. Frozen soil doesn’t just lock up carbon — it physically holds the landscape together. Across the Arctic and Boreal regions, permafrost is collapsing suddenly as pockets of ice within it melt. Instead of a few centimetres of soil thawing each year, several metres of soil can become destabilized within days or weeks. The land can sink and be inundated by swelling lakes and wetlands.
Abrupt thawing of permafrost is dramatic to watch. Returning to field sites in Alaska, for example, we often find that lands that were forested a year ago are now covered with lakes2. Rivers that once ran clear are thick with sediment. Hillsides can liquefy, sometimes taking sensitive scientific equipment with them.
This type of thawing is a serious problem for communities living around the Arctic (see ‘Arctic permafrost’). Roads buckle, houses become unstable. Access to traditional foods is changing, because it is becoming dangerous to travel across the land to hunt. Families cannot reach lines of game traps that have supported them for generations.

The goals of the AGC are to increase the knowledge of the teenaged campers about the geological formations and biodiversity in the region, to acquaint them with geologic mapping technology used by USGS, WVGES, and WVU, and to foster interest in STEM-based careers. Nine students participated, with a cadre from the USGS, WVGES, and WVU teaching lessons in local geology and ecology. Inaugural-year efforts were focused on development and logistics of the camp and what activities best complimented the STEM research. Post-evaluations by the participants were generally favorable.

However, in 2014 a two-horned morphotype of Trapa was discovered in the Potomac River in Virginia. As such, we hypothesize the two-horned variety represents a cryptic introduction of a Trapa taxon distinct from the four-horned T. natans previously identified in North America. We tested this hypothesis by genotyping 129 amplified fragment length polymorphism loci for 304 Trapa individuals collected from across the Northeast US and several populations from Asia and Africa. The two-horned and four-horned morphotypes in the northeastern US were found to be genetically and morphologically distinct. The two-horned Trapa taxon was most genetically and morphologically similar to samples from Taiwan identified as T. bispinosa Roxb. var iinumai Nakano. The four-horned Trapa taxon previously identified as T. natans was most genetically and morphologically similar to T. natans collected from Japan, but were genetically distinct. Therefore, it is likely that the US four-horned Trapa was introduced from somewhere outside of Japan, an unsampled area in Japan, or have genetically diverged since introduction. Distinguishing these two US Trapa taxa will be important for documenting spread and identifying new populations, and for further study on the timing and efficacy of physical, chemical, and biological control options. Our study also highlights the need for a comprehensive geographic survey of Trapa morphology and genetics to clarify the taxonomy.

The fauna represents intertidal to shallow subtidal water depths and water temperatures interpreted from the fauna, consistent with the latitude of the fossil locality (37° north) during the late Miocene. The fauna from Bloomfield Quarry is unusually large and diverse from such a small area. It consists of thousands of specimens of 4 brachiopod, 42 mollusk (28 bivalves and 14 gastropods), 6 arthropod (1 crab, 1 shrimp, and 4 barnacles), and 25 vertebrate (3 sharks, 1 ray, 8 bony fishes, 9 marine mammals, and 4 birds) taxa. Unusual in the fauna is the abundant and diverse brachiopod fauna, the diverse barnacle fauna, which was described previously, and the extensive and diverse vertebrate fauna. Most significant among the vertebrates is the walrus fauna, which is the most diverse assemblage of walrus yet reported worldwide from a single locality.
A single strontium (Sr) isotope age determination of about 8 million years (megaannum, Ma) from a pectinid mollusk is consistent with a new age determination of the overlying, informally named Roblar tuff as described by Sarna-Wojcicki in 1992 (6.203±0.011 Ma) and previously reported age determinations (recalculated here) from basalt (9.27±0.06 Ma) underlying these deposits. The Roblar tuff at Bloomfield Quarry can be correlated with other sites, including the Delgada Fan offshore northern California and the Coalinga anticline in California’s Central Valley. These age determinations conform with the “Jacalitos” California provincial molluscan stage age, the Hemphillian North American Land Mammal age determined from the fossils, and is part of the International Tortonian Stage of the Miocene.

Background: Alternative protein sources to fishmeal in fish feeds are needed.
Objectives: Evaluate rearing performance of adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (initial weight 139.0 ±1.5 g, length 232.9 ± 0.8 mm, mean ± SE) fed one of the two isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets (46% protein, 16% lipid) and reared at one of the two levels of exercise (water velocities of either 3.6 cm/s or 33.2 cm/s).
Methods: Protein in the control diet was based on fishmeal. In the experimental diet, bioprocessed soybean meal replaced approximately 60% of the fishmeal. Fish were fed by hand once-per-day to near satiation, and the food was increased daily. The experiment lasted 90-days.
Results: There were no significant differences in gain, percent gain, or specific growth rate between the dietary treatments. However, the amount of food fed and feed conversion ratio was significantly lower in the 60% bioprocessed soybean meal diet. Intestinal morphology, relative fin length, splenosomatic index, hepatosomatic index, and viscerosomatic index were not significantly different in the trout fed either diet. Fish reared at 3.6 cm/s had a significantly lower feed conversion ratio (1.02 ± 0.02) than fish reared at 33.2 cm/s (1.13 ± 0.02). However, there were no significant differences in gain, percent gain, specific growth rate, or percentage mortality in fish reared with or without exercise. No significant interactions were observed between diet and exercise (higher water velocity).
Conclusion:Based on these results, at least 60% of the fishmeal in adult rainbow trout diets can be replaced by bioprocessed soybean meal, even if higher water velocities are used to exercise the fish.

From 2009 to 2015, average water levels in the lakes declined nearly 4 feet. It was not clear if these declines were related to variations in weather (precipitation or evaporation) or other hydrologic influences such as municipal supply pumping or nearby quarry operations. Data were collected using three approaches to determine the possibility of such hydrologic influences. First, water levels were collected at 15 minute intervals at three wells equipped with pressure transducers from April 14 through September 27, 2016. The continuous data allowed assessment of lake and well water level responses to precipitation, pumping influences, and quarry operations. Second, a single-day synoptic water-level survey was completed to create a water table map to determine groundwater flow directions. Third, single-well aquifer tests (slug tests) were completed on the three data-collection wells to estimate the aquifer’s horizontal hydraulic conductivity. Collectively, these data were used to determine the velocity and volume of water entering and exiting TORA.

Invading species are most easily eradicated or controlled if detected early and rapid action can be taken, but locating and eradicating small numbers of aquatic invaders is extremely difficult. Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) are Asian cyprinids that have been widely introduced and are considered undesirable and detrimental invasive species in many parts of their introduced range. The relatively novel “Judas fish” technique is used to locate aggregations of fish in the wild by strategically releasing individuals equipped with surgically implanted transmitters. However, releasing Judas fish that are capable of reproducing is problematic because it could add to the invasion problem by contributing to recruitment if not recaptured. We thus tested whether surgical ligation and division of the ductus deferens could effectively sterilize adult diploid bighead and grass carp. If effective, surgical sterilization would result in a superior Judas fish by maintaining the reproductive motivation derived from intact gonads while blocking the reproductive potential. This technique was initially successful, but ultimately most individuals were able to recanalize the surgically-severed ducts and produce milt, and were thus potentially able to reproduce during the following spawning season. Thus, ligation and division of the ductus deferens does not seem to be a viable procedure to sterilize bighead carp or grass carp for deployment as Judas fish where long term sterility of the fish is paramount in importance.

Increased harvest of GWFG wintering in California may prevent agricultural depredation while providing increased hunting opportunities. However, changes in harvest levels are unlikely to be uniform across the species because of the presence of multiple subspecies of GWFG in the Pacific Flyway, each with their own population distribution and trends. White-fronted geese in the Cook Inlet Basin of south-central Alaska, a potentially vulnerable subspecies (Tule goose, A. a. elgasi), are among the geese that winter predominantly in the Sacramento Valley and Suisun and Napa marshes of north-central California. Efforts to limit sport harvest of Tule geese are complicated because although the subspecies is phenotypically larger and darker in color than other subspecies, they can be difficult to identify in the field and in hunter bag checks. To assist in an accurate assessment of Tule goose harvest, we used double-digest restriction site-associated deoxyribonucleic acid sequencing (ddRAD-seq) techniques to develop a genetic stock identification panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to differentiate Tule geese from individuals belonging to other GWFG subspecies and populations that winter in California. Although the panel we developed was designed and tested for Fluidigm SNP-type technology, the ddRAD-seq sequences can be used to design SNP panels for use in other platforms.
