Pacific cod are exceptionally thermally sensitive and management of this fishery is now challenged by increasingly unpredictable climate conditions. Fisheries monitoring is critical for climate readiness, but short-term monitoring data may be inadequate for recognizing and anticipating change under rapid climate changes. We propose an interdisciplinary, marine historical ecology framework that looks to long-term records (local and traditional knowledge, history, archaeology, and paleoclimatology) to capture a long range of ecological variability and provide historical context for management. In order to connect to contemporary fisheries management, this framework must be built on a common vocabulary and an understanding of the key metrics used in fisheries stock assessments. Here, we propose metrics derived from Pacific cod stock assessment and synthesize information relevant to understanding the effects of past warming periods on cod populations across the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea. This case study provides a framework for thinking about how to use these historical records in the context of fisheries management under rapidly changing climate conditions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford University Press","doi":"10.1093/icesjms/fsaf056","usgsCitation":"West, C., McClenachan, L., Barbeaux, S.J., Spies, I.B., Addison, J.A., Anderson, B., Hofman, C.A., Reedy, K., Smith, E., Etnier, M., Helser, T.E., and Finney, B., 2025, Integrating marine historical ecology into management of Alaska’s Pacific cod fishery for climate readiness: ICES Journal of Marine Science, v. 82, no. 4, fsaf056, 17 p., https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsaf056.","productDescription":"fsaf056, 17 p.","ipdsId":"IP-170032","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":491443,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsaf056","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":491279,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Russia, United States","state":"Alaska","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -203.937437508192,\n              54.954559063654074\n            ],\n            [\n              -203.937437508192,\n              50.326282088235786\n            ],\n            [\n              -148.52655859208141,\n              50.326282088235786\n            ],\n            [\n              -148.52655859208141,\n              54.954559063654074\n            ],\n            [\n              -203.937437508192,\n              54.954559063654074\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"82","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"West, Catherine F. 0000-0001-5177-9235","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5177-9235","contributorId":345839,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"West","given":"Catherine F.","affiliations":[{"id":13570,"text":"Boston University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":941291,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"McClenachan, Loren","contributorId":260606,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McClenachan","given":"Loren","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":51887,"text":"Colby College","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":941292,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Barbeaux, Steven J.","contributorId":256680,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Barbeaux","given":"Steven","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":34572,"text":"NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Service, Alaska Fisheries Science Center","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":941293,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Spies, Ingrid B.","contributorId":256688,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Spies","given":"Ingrid","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":941294,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Addison, Jason A. 0000-0003-2416-9743 jaddison@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2416-9743","contributorId":4192,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Addison","given":"Jason","email":"jaddison@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":941295,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Anderson, Bruce T. 0000-0001-7006-5967","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7006-5967","contributorId":345835,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Anderson","given":"Bruce T.","affiliations":[{"id":13570,"text":"Boston University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":941296,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Hofman, Courtney A.","contributorId":127441,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hofman","given":"Courtney","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":6997,"text":"Department of Anthropology, Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History (NMNH)","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":941297,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Reedy, Katherine L.","contributorId":345838,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Reedy","given":"Katherine L.","affiliations":[{"id":38154,"text":"Idaho State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":941298,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Smith, Emma A.

Assessing potential impacts on ecosystems and social-ecological systems requires dedicated multi- and interdisciplinary research and integrative management and policy approaches. Managing recreational fisheries effectively also necessitates transdisciplinary thinking, yet this poses continued challenges, as researchers and managers balance specialized expertise with innovative, boundary-crossing perspectives in light of limited funding in a rapidly changing social-ecological environment. The World Recreational Fishing Conference (WRFC) serves as the leading global scientific forum for addressing these challenges, fostering interdisciplinary exchange among scientists, managers, policy makers and stakeholders. The papers in this special issue represent the output of the last WRFC in Melbourne, Australia in 2023. By reviewing the content of the papers published in the present special issue, we illustrate the critical role of collaborative spaces, such as the WRFC, in bridging different expertise and approaches and fostering innovation, thereby securing adaptive management and conservation of recreational fisheries in response to global changes.

However, a process rarely considered in future sea-level rise scenarios is sudden (over minutes) land subsidence associated with great (&gt;M8) earthquakes, which can exceed 1 m. Along the Washington, Oregon, and northern California coasts, the next great Cascadia subduction zone earthquake could cause up to 2 m of sudden coastal subsidence, dramatically raising sea level, expanding floodplains, and increasing the flood risk to local communities. Here, we quantify the potential expansion of the 1% floodplain (i.e., the area with an annual flood risk of 1%) under low (~0.5 m), medium (~1 m), and high (~2 m) earthquake-driven subsidence scenarios at 24 Cascadia estuaries. If a great earthquake occurred today, floodplains could expand by 90 km</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;(low), 160 km</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;(medium), or 300 km</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;(high subsidence), more than doubling the flooding exposure of residents, structures, and roads under the high subsidence scenario. By 2100, when climate-driven sea-level rise will compound the hazard, a great earthquake could expand floodplains by 170 km</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;(low), 240 km</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;(medium), or 370 km</span><sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;(high subsidence), more than tripling the flooding exposure of residents, structures, and roads under the high subsidence scenario compared to the 2023 floodplain. Our findings can support decision-makers and coastal communities along the Cascadia subduction zone as they prepare for compound hazards from the earthquake cycle and climate-driven sea-level rise and provide critical insights for tectonically active coastlines globally.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"National Academy of Sciences of the United

Managing these ecosystems is complex, and science-based frameworks like Ecological Site Descriptions and state-and-transition models are essential tools for guiding decisions to support ecological health while maintaining stakeholder values such as grazing, wildlife, and recreation. However, alignment of these frameworks with smaller scale soil survey maps limits their applicability to broader ecological processes. Here, we extend these frameworks to larger landscapes with a machine learning approach that integrates large-scale, high-resolution vegetation data with identified ecological states from a data-driven state-and-transition model developed for a landscape-scale Ecological Site Group. A “global” model, which used combined inputs from multiple remotely sensed datasets, outperformed individual dataset models based on evaluation with independent data. Ecological state maps generated through this approach broaden the utility of state-and-transition models across Ecological Site Groups, providing a more spatially robust tool for land management at watershed and larger landscape scales. These methods, and the associated ecological state maps, can help meet critical needs for improved land condition assessments that support development of resource management plans and help identify priority areas for restoration and conservation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecs2.70243","usgsCitation":"Kleist, N.J., Domschke, C.T., Knight, A.C., Nauman, T.W., Duniway, M.C., and Carter, S.K., 2025, Mapping predicted ecological states at landscape scales using remote sensing data and machine learning: Ecosphere, v. 16, no. 4, e70243, 16 p., https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70243.","productDescription":"e70243, 16 p.","ipdsId":"IP-157413","costCenters":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":496158,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70243","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":496018,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"Upper Colorado River Basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.0509637142687,\n              42.64630716588371\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.8266792759012,\n              39.96910670756075\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.76249387460862,\n              35.930067724930424\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.04708953433448,\n              35.58278337785393\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.09257565522607,\n              37.663677272255455\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.38346712125988,\n              40.56490356337224\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.74500520215983,\n              41.22226787777939\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.0509637142687,\n              42.64630716588371\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"16","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kleist, Nathan J. 0000-0002-2468-4318","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2468-4318","contributorId":260598,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kleist","given":"Nathan","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":949335,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Domschke, Christopher T.","contributorId":361734,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Domschke","given":"Christopher","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":86338,"text":"Bureau of Land Management, Colorado State Office, 2850 Youngfield St., Lakewood, CO 80215","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":949336,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Knight, Anna C. 0000-0002-9455-2855","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9455-2855","contributorId":255113,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Knight","given":"Anna","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":949337,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Nauman, Travis W.","contributorId":360619,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nauman","given":"Travis","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":86060,"text":"USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Soil and Plant Science Division, Moab, UT, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":949338,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Duniway, Michael C. 0000-0002-9643-2785 mduniway@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9643-2785","contributorId":219284,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Duniway","given":"Michael","email":"mduniway@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":949339,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Carter, Sarah K. 0000-0003-3778-8615","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3778-8615","contributorId":192418,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carter","given":"Sarah","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":949340,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Due to its offshore location and complex aftershock distribution, its source kinematics remain poorly constrained. This active sequence illuminated a complex set of previously unrecognized structures that indicate multiple causative faults may have slipped during its rupture. Here, we utilize seismic and geodetic observations to enhance model resolution, estimate the finite slip of the mainshock, and test a multi-segment, geologically realistic fault geometry. Our refined model finds a lower rupture velocity and longer rise times than typical for an event of this magnitude.

Myriad ET models based on remote sensing data provide spatially continuous estimates of ET; however, leaf photosynthetic information is critical to ensure accurate ET estimates, which are difficult to measure from space. Remotely sensed sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) provides a proxy of stomatal conductance activity with high performance in predicting plant transpiration, which can account for a large proportion of terrestrial and riverine ET. This study aims to improve estimates of tree water use in semi-arid to arid environments. In this study, a fixed stomatal conductance model and three SIF-driven canopy conductance (g</span><sub>sc</sub><span>) models were applied to model potential ET (PET). The models estimated PET using the Penman-Monteith equation with: (1) a constant leaf stomatal conductance; (2) a transpiration-driven g</span><sub>sc</sub><span>&nbsp;model; (3) a g</span><sub>sc</sub><span>&nbsp;model based on electron-transfer rate and vapor pressure deficit, and a (4) Ball-Berry stomatal conductance model. A machine learning model was then applied to scale PET to actual ET (AET) using remote sensing and climate data. Accordingly, four AET models were cross-validated with&nbsp;</span><i>in-situ</i><span>&nbsp;measured AET at 52 sites, including 21 eddy covariance flux tower sites, and 31 sap-flow measurement sites (semi-arid and plantation area), for various plant functional types in Australia.

This study demonstrated that SIF-driven AET models improved broadscale estimation of ET. Our findings provide vital broadscale hydrological data to assist catchment and regional water management, particularly over unmonitored areas at risk of future climate-driven reductions in rainfall.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2025.133404","usgsCitation":"Gao, S., Nagler, P.L., Woodgate, W., Huete, A., and Doody, T.M., 2025, Advancing broadscale spatial evapotranspiration modelling by incorporating sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence measurements: Journal of Hydrology, v. 660, no.

However, planners must quantify the relative magnitude of the CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;storage resource in these reservoirs to formulate a comprehensive strategy for CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;mitigation. Even reconnaissance-type estimates of CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;storage resources of known oil and gas reservoirs may require complicated calculations involving 1) estimates of recoverable oil and gas, 2) reservoir properties (depth, temperature, pressure, etc.), and 3) the physical qualities of the retained fluids. We demonstrate the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms to bypass these computations to yield more rapid estimates of CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;storage resources in reservoirs capable of hosting CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;in a supercritical state. ML algorithms are computationally efficient because they do not impose the strong assumptions on the data-generating process that standard statistical or engineering procedures require. Further, ML algorithms can capture highly complex, particularly nonlinear, relationships among predictor variables. We demonstrate the application of four different ML algorithms using data from onshore and offshore oil and gas reservoirs in Europe, and show they perform well when predictions are compared to engineering estimates.

Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of a serological assay quantify the true positive and negative rates of the diagnostic assay, respectively. However, an assay’s accuracy can be affected by wild animals’ pathogen exposure history and quality of the sample collected, requiring separate estimates of an assay’s detection ability for wild-sampled animals where an animal’s true disease status is unknown (referred to hereafter as sampling sensitivity and specificity). We assessed the sampling sensitivity and specificity of a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT) and conventional virus neutralization tests (cVNT) to detect antibodies for ancestral and Omicron B.1.1.529 variants of SARS-CoV-2 in wild white-tailed deer (</span><i>Odocoileus virginianus</i><span>) and mule deer (</span><i>Odocoileus hemionus</i><span>). We studied the influence of sample collection method using paired blood samples collected in serum separator tubes and on Nobuto strips from the same animal. Mean estimates of sampling sensitivity and specificity ranged from 0.21–0.95 and 0.94–1.00, respectively, varying by sample collection method, host species, and SARS-CoV-2 variant targeted by the assay. Broadly, sampling sensitivity was estimated to be higher for 1) sera collected in tubes, 2) detecting pre-Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants, and 3) sVNT relative to cVNT assays. Sampling specificity tended to be high for all tests. We augmented our study with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein sequences derived from sampling locations and times coincident with white-tailed deer captures, finding common amino acid mutations relative to the sVNT Omicron antigen variant. The mutations may indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 variants circulating in cervids from 2021 through 2024 may be better adapted to cervid hosts and more closely related to variants that circulated in humans prior to Omicron variants. We conclude our study with an inter-test comparison of sVNT results, revealing that 40 % inhibition is an optimal threshold for test positivity when testing deer sera for responses to Omicron variant B.1.1.529, compared to the 30 % inhibition recommended for ancestral variants.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.prevetmed.2025.106522","usgsCitation":"Hewitt,

These input data are maps of topography, surface slope, surface aspect, surface curvature, maximum temperature, depth to ice stability, permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), distance to PSRs, and PSR density. This model predicts where water ice is most likely within the top meter of regolith, assuming plausible relationships between ice concentration and the various inputs. The model is designed to be adjusted in near-real time as data are collected during the VIPER mission. As such, it is a tool for both analyzing data from the mission as well as planning operations. Since the current model, at this point, relies only on orbital remote sensing, the final version will also be a tool to extrapolate the VIPER mission results across the lunar poles.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Astronomical Society","doi":"10.3847/PSJ/adbc6c","usgsCitation":"Coyan, J.A., Siegler, M., Martinez-Comacho, J., Beyer, R.A., and Shirley, M., 2025, Prospectivity modeling of the NASA VIPER landing site at Mons Mouton near the Lunar South Pole: Planetary Science Journal, v. 6, no. 5, 105, 9 p., https://doi.org/10.3847/PSJ/adbc6c.","productDescription":"105, 9 p.","ipdsId":"IP-168617","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":487929,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3847/psj/adbc6c","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":485333,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"Mons Mouton, Moon","volume":"6","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Coyan, Joshua Aaron 0000-0002-8450-7364","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8450-7364","contributorId":247291,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Coyan","given":"Joshua","email":"","middleInitial":"Aaron","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":935581,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Siegler, Matthew A.","contributorId":237898,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Siegler","given":"Matthew","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":24584,"text":"PSI","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":935582,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Martinez-Comacho, José 0000-0003-0542-7866","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0542-7866","contributorId":354404,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Martinez-Comacho","given":"José","affiliations":[{"id":84624,"text":"University of Hawai’i at Manoa, Hawaii Institute for Geophysics and Planetology, 1680 East-West Road, POST Building, Honolulu, HI 96822","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":935583,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Beyer, Ross A.","contributorId":204235,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Beyer","given":"Ross","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":36890,"text":"Sagan Center at the SETI Institute and NASA Ames Research Center","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":935584,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Shirley, Mark 0000-0001-8767-1760","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8767-1760","contributorId":354405,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Shirley","given":"Mark","affiliations":[{"id":84625,"text":"SETI Institute/NASA Ames Research Center","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":935585,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Moreover, time-modulated stochastic models, which adjust ground motion amplitudes over time, typically use functions that fail to capture multiple strong-motion phases. The February 2023 Turkey (Türkiye) earthquake exhibited diverse recordings, including near-fault and far-field motions with pulse-like and non-pulse-like characteristics, along with single and multiple strong-motion phases. To better represent such a diverse set of recordings, this study enhances a fully non-stationary site-based stochastic model without combining it with a deterministic model. Improvements include a new band-pass filter with upper- and lower-frequency limits, which refines the representation of the low-frequency content. Moreover, a time-modulating function that can represent energy arrival in multiple strong phases is introduced. The reference model’s parameters are identified by fitting to the energy content, zero-level crossings, and cumulative counts of positive-minima and negative-maxima of a target accelerogram. This fitting procedure is modified to address the increased number of parameters. These improvements broaden the reference model’s applicability while preserving its simplicity, a key aspect appealing to engineering practitioners. The improved model’s applicability is demonstrated by simulating a dataset from the February 2023 Türkiye earthquake, and the accuracy is tested using a pulse-like Next Generation Attenuation Relationships for Western United States dataset. Validations are performed based on total energy, zero-level crossings, Fourier amplitude spectrum, elastic response spectra, and peak ground motion parameters. Validations are performed schematically in the time and frequency domains and quantitatively using goodness-of-fit scores, various validation-metrics errors, and inter-period correlations. Overall, the improved stochastic model can effectively simulate a set of diverse ground motion recordings, including near-fault pulse-like records, records with multiple strong phases, and far-field motions across a broad frequency range.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Sage Publications","doi":"10.1177/87552930251331981","usgsCitation":"Hussaini, S.M., Karimzadeh, S., Rezaeian, S., and Lourenco, P., 2025, Broadband stochastic simulation of earthquake ground motions with multiple strong phases with an application to the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Turkey (Türkiye), earthquake: Earthquake Spectra, v. 41, no. 3, p. 2399-2435, https://doi.org/10.1177/87552930251331981.","productDescription":"37 p.","startPage":"2399","endPage":"2435","ipdsId":"IP-174088","costCenters":[{"id":78686,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center - Seismology / Geomagnetism","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":494180,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1177/87552930251331981","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":493834,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Turkey","city":"Kahramanmaraş","volume":"41","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hussaini, S.

Zone-tailed Hawks occupy rugged areas in the southwestern region of the United States and are listed as state threatened in Texas. Our objectives were to assess habitat, productivity, and daily survival rate (DSR) of Zone-tailed Hawk nests in riparian zones of the Chihuahuan Desert Ecoregion of Texas. We surveyed for Zone-tailed Hawk nests along ∼30 km of 12 riparian corridors in Brewster, Jeff Davis, and Presidio Counties, Texas. We monitored 11 and 15 Zone-tailed Hawk nests in 2018 and 2019, respectively, and conducted vegetation surveys at the nest tree, nest site (11.3-m radius), and paired random locations. We used nest survival modeling to evaluate the effects of eight habitat variables (nest tree diameter at breast height [DBH], nest tree height, nest height, nest distance to main stem, nest to tree height ratio, mean stand height, number of trees within nest site, and mean nest site DBH) on nest DSR. DSR was positively correlated with nest to tree height ratio and nest tree DBH. Zone-tailed Hawk nests had an estimated 0.991 (standard error [SE] = 0.004, 95% CI = 0.980–0.996) constant DSR and ultimately a 51.4% chance of nest success (SE = 0.0943) across the nesting season. Our results suggest that by selecting larger trees for nesting as well as placing nests higher within the tree, Zone-tailed Hawks may increase their chances of successfully fledging young.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Raptor Research Foundation","doi":"10.3356/jrr2436","usgsCitation":"Skidmore, C., Boal, C.W., Skipper, B.R., and Martin, R., 2025, Daily survival rate and nest-site selection of Zone-tailed Hawks (Buteo albonotatus) in the Chihuahuan Desert ecoregion of Texas: Journal of Raptor Research, v. 59, no. 2, p. 1-9, https://doi.org/10.3356/jrr2436.","productDescription":"9","startPage":"1","endPage":"9","ipdsId":"IP-165271","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":497700,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3356/jrr2436","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":497468,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Texas","otherGeospatial":"Chihuahuan Desert ecoregion","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -103.16016896102632,\n              29.02969764012022\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.6187673940317,\n              29.82558478770983\n            ],\n            [\n              -102.34533119746091,\n              29.825904876682998\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.31770853819764,\n              31.40373063096237\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.27499788066719,\n              30.839874155801937\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.70567543260988,\n              30.257905616135616\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.50920724722273,\n              29.627352150897323\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.81983396318309,\n              29.241412262608875\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.16016896102632,\n              29.02969764012022\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"59","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Skidmore, Caroline","contributorId":363911,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Skidmore","given":"Caroline","affiliations":[{"id":36331,"text":"Texas Tech University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952099,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Boal, Clint W. 0000-0001-6008-8911 cboal@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6008-8911","contributorId":1909,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Boal","given":"Clint","email":"cboal@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":952100,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Skipper, Ben R.","contributorId":198462,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Skipper","given":"Ben","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":952101,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Martin, Russell","contributorId":267876,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Martin","given":"Russell","affiliations":[{"id":27442,"text":"Texas parks and Wildlife Department","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":952102,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

We developed a set of 54 microsatellite loci to assess genetic structure and diversity across the United States range of the Light-footed Ridgway’s Rail (<i>Rallus obsoletus levipes</i>), a federally endangered marsh bird for which populations have been augmented by a captive breeding program annually since 2001. We identified three regional genetic clusters, with the highest genetic diversity reported in the central cluster, which included all sampled wetlands in north San Diego County. Recent (2019–24) captive-breeding adults all clustered within the northernmost cluster (Orange and Ventura Counties), which was expected given that this cluster included the source wetland for the captive breeding program. Gene flow rates, which approximate the proportions of individuals in a population originating from other populations, were relatively high among clusters (4–24 percent) and may have been enhanced through the release of captive-bred rails. Based on the genetic data analyzed in a genetic rescue decision framework, sourcing new breeding birds from the north San Diego County cluster could provide the greatest genetic diversity benefits. The northernmost cluster, which included Mugu Lagoon and all sampled Orange County wetlands, was considered the most in need of genetic rescue. Recent breeding pairs in the captive breeding program have comparatively low diversity and high interrelatedness. Sourcing birds from wetlands with high genetic diversity and population sizes, assessing genetic relatedness before pairing, and focusing releases in areas that have low estimates of genetic diversity could improve the distribution of genetic diversity across wild populations in the future.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20251011","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office","programNote":"Ecosystems Mission Area—Species Management Research Program","usgsCitation":"Vandergast, A.G., Smith, J.G., Mitelberg, A., Wood, D.A., Sawyer, K.A., and Conway, C.J., 2025, Genetic structure and diversity in wild populations of the Light-footed Ridgway’s Rail reflect 20 years of augmentation through captive breeding and release: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2025–1011, 24 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20251011.","productDescription":"Report: viii, 24 p.; Data Release","onlineOnly":"Y","ipdsId":"IP-169671","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":485012,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2025/1011/coverthb.jpg"},{"id":485013,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2025/1011/ofr20251011.pdf","text":"Report","size":"2.5 MB","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"OFR 2025-1011"},{"id":485015,"rank":4,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P14CYDJC","text":"USGS data release","description":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Microsatellite genotypes for light-footed Ridgway's rail (Rallus obsoletus levipes) sampled in southern California"},{"id":485017,"rank":6,"type":{"id":31,"text":"Publication XML"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2025/1011/ofr20251011.XML"},{"id":485014,"rank":3,"type":{"id":39,"text":"HTML Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20251011/full","text":"Report","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"},"description":"OFR 2025-1011"},{"id":485016,"rank":5,"type":{"id":34,"text":"Image Folder"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2025/1011/images"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -119.10331263380175,\n              34.10687099022617\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.03807861620402,\n              33.46101273577156\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.15926055168606,\n              32.54485080859107\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.83812382579282,\n              32.56519890177364\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.45219990652568,\n              33.65951802680661\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.60202603728568,\n              34.09630540323134\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.10331263380175,\n              34.10687099022617\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","contact":"<p>Director, <a href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc\">Western Ecological Research Center</a><br>U.S. Geological Survey<br>3020 State University Drive East<br>Sacramento, California 95819</p>","tableOfContents":"<ul><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>Abstract</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Methods</li><li>Results and Discussion</li><li>Preliminary Conclusions and Future Research Objectives</li><li>References Cited</li><li>Appendix 1.

Satellite imagery available at high spatial and temporal resolution provides a potential tool to overcome the challenge posed by multispecies management of linking patterns of habitat use among species. We sought to determine whether satellite imagery could be used to describe patterns of species occupancy and inform multispecies management in pine savannas in Georgia, USA. We conducted point-count surveys at 7 sites in 2022 for 3 bird species:&nbsp;</span><i>Colinus virginianus</i><span>&nbsp;(Northern Bobwhite),&nbsp;</span><i>Dryobates borealis</i><span>&nbsp;(Red-cockaded Woodpecker), and&nbsp;</span><i>Peucaea aestivalis</i><span>&nbsp;(Bachman’s Sparrow). We built single-season occupancy models comparing a set of models using covariates collected from field vegetation surveys and another set using covariates extracted from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. We then used a multi-objective optimization algorithm to identify quasi-optimal management solutions (i.e., sets of covariate values from top satellite imagery metric models). We found that models created using satellite imagery performed well at predicting occupancy of all 3 species as measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC &gt; 0.8) and had higher AUC scores than field-derived habitat covariate-based models. We found combinations of metrics that could result in high rates of predicted probability of occupancy for all species (within 86% of highest possible occupancy probability), but these combinations did not exist at any of the sites. Our results demonstrate that (1) satellite imagery can allow users to build reliable occupancy models without intensive field-based vegetation surveys; and (2)&nbsp;</span><i>C. virginianus</i><span>,&nbsp;</span><i>D. borealis,</i><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><i>P. aestivalis</i><span>&nbsp;in pine savanna ecosystems could be simultaneously managed through more frequent burning, changes in canopy cover or by producing suitable heterogeneity of habitats after identifying an appropriate scale of management.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American

Failure to account for correlated grade and tonnage distributions can result in geologically unrealistic assessment results. Current software tools simulate univariate ore tonnage and multivariate resource grades of undiscovered deposits independently. As a result, analysts are forced to rely on<span>&nbsp;</span><i>ad-hoc</i><span>&nbsp;</span>solutions to minimize the correlation issues by: 1) creating subsets of data with restricted criteria; 2) truncating grade and tonnage distributions; and 3) testing model robustness using exploratory data analysis. While these methods represent pragmatic solutions, the statistical solutions presented here provide additional options to address real correlations in grade and tonnage data used for mineral resource assessments. We present a modified version of the MapMark4 package in R that introduces two alternatives for modeling grade and tonnage distributions, consisting of a multivariate solution that accounts for correlations between ore tonnage and metal grades and an empirical solution that utilizes simple random sampling with replacement to reproduce coupled grades and tonnages from the input data. We present simulations for contained ore and metal for three case studies representing tungsten skarn, komatiite-hosted nickel, and sediment-hosted carbonate amagmatic zinc-lead (Mississippi Valley-type) deposits. Employing the methods presented here yields quantitative mineral resource assessment results that more closely reflect the empirical distributions of grades and tonnages observed in nature and expands the applicability of these tools for ongoing critical mineral resource assessments.</div></div></div></div><ul id=\"issue-navigation\" class=\"issue-navigation u-margin-s-bottom u-bg-grey1\"></ul>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.acags.2025.100240","usgsCitation":"Rosera, J.M., Lederer, G.W., and Schuenemeyer, J., 2025, Statistical approaches for modeling correlated grade and tonnage distributions and applications for mineral resource assessments: Applied Computing and Geosciences, v. 26, 100240, 13 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acags.2025.100240.","productDescription":"100240, 13 p.","ipdsId":"IP-169818","costCenters":[{"id":49175,"text":"Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":487776,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acags.2025.100240","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":485062,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"26","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rosera, Joshua Mark 0000-0003-3807-5000","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3807-5000","contributorId":270284,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosera","given":"Joshua","email":"","middleInitial":"Mark","affiliations":[{"id":49175,"text":"Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":934621,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lederer, Graham W. 0000-0002-9505-9923","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9505-9923","contributorId":202407,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lederer","given":"Graham","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":432,"text":"National Minerals Information Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":934622,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schuenemeyer, John","contributorId":149378,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schuenemeyer","given":"John","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":934623,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

However, estimating flood risk based solely on AR intensity and duration is challenging because precipitation phase, antecedent conditions, and physical watershed characteristics (e.g., slope and soil depth) can influence the magnitude of floods. Here, we analyze how antecedent soil moisture (ASM) conditions contribute to variability in streamflow during AR events and how that changes across climatic regimes and physiography in 122 U.S. West Coast watersheds. We identify a robust non-linear relationship between streamflow and ASM during ARs in 89% of watersheds. The inflection point in this relationship represents a watershed-specific critical ASM threshold, above which event maximum streamflow is, on average, two to four and a half times larger. Wet ASM conditions amplify the hydrologic impacts of more frequent but weaker, lower moisture transport AR events, while dry ASM conditions attenuate the hydrologic impacts that stronger, higher moisture transport AR events could otherwise cause. Our research shows that watersheds prone to ASM-amplified streamflows have higher evaporation ratios, lower cold-season precipitation, lower snow-to-rain ratios, and shallower, clay-rich soils. Higher evaporation and lower precipitation lead to greater ASM variability during the cold season, increasing streamflow during wet periods and buffering streamflow during dry periods. Lower snow fraction and shallower soils limit the antecedent water storage capacity of a watershed, contributing to greater sensitivity of streamflow peaks to ASM variability. Incorporating ASM thresholds into hydrologic models in these regions prone to AR-amplified streamflow could improve forecasts and decrease uncertainty.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","doi":"10.1175/JHM-D-24-0078.1","collaboration":"Desert Research Institute, Reno, NV","usgsCitation":"Webb, M., Albano, C., Harpold, A., Wagner, D.M., and Wilson, A.M., 2025, Wet antecedent soil moisture increases atmospheric river streamflow magnitudes non-linearly: Journal of Hydrometeorology, v. 26, no. 6, p. 741-758, https://doi.org/10.1175/JHM-D-24-0078.1.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"741","endPage":"758","ipdsId":"IP-166108","costCenters":[{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":485998,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -117.92121191786663,\n              33.407810452030205\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.523784768193,\n              36.41502072713284\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.64994516515054,\n              39.88994270690637\n            ],\n            [\n              -120.51138519071847,\n              42.20041323206641\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.3720758190301,\n              48.777534854733574\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.9287960859929,\n              48.977595241145025\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.36076938971661,\n              48.210450784064506\n            ],\n            [\n              -125.09530509112804,\n              48.5114622057049\n            ],\n            [\n              -124.0899142321606,\n              45.77238715755897\n            ],\n            [\n              -124.63673786495912,\n              42.844084204189784\n            ],\n            [\n              -124.31096484013645,\n              41.342509106103535\n            ],\n            [\n              -124.81776995325123,\n              40.42865225014583\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.57485679616491,\n              38.65999426544576\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.45718830306802,\n              37.1653556881036\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.77165200602349,\n              35.90307547409293\n            ],\n            [\n              -120.64970139084915,\n              34.560810038256434\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.92121191786663,\n              33.407810452030205\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","issue":"6","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Webb, Mariana J. 0000-0003-0331-2635","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0331-2635","contributorId":353576,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Webb","given":"Mariana J.","affiliations":[{"id":84438,"text":"Division of Hydrological Sciences, Desert Research Institute, Reno, NV","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":933999,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Albano, Christine M.","contributorId":17681,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Albano","given":"Christine M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":934000,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Harpold, Adrian A. 0000-0002-2566-9574","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2566-9574","contributorId":353577,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Harpold","given":"Adrian A.","affiliations":[{"id":84439,"text":"Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Science, Univ. of Nevada, Reno, Reno, NV","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":934001,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Wagner, Daniel M. 0000-0002-0432-450X dwagner@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0432-450X","contributorId":4531,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Wagner","given":"Daniel","email":"dwagner@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":24708,"text":"Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":129,"text":"Arkansas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":37778,"text":"WMA -

Existing snow cover products do not reliably distinguish seasonal snow from glacier ice and firn, preventing their use for glacier snow cover detection. Despite previous efforts to classify glacier surface facies using machine learning on local scales, currently there is no published comparison of machine learning models for classifying glacier snow cover across different satellite image products. We present an automated snow detection workflow for mountain glaciers using supervised machine-learning-based image classifiers and Landsat 8 and 9, Sentinel-2, and PlanetScope satellite imagery. We develop the image classifiers by testing numerous machine learning algorithms with training and validation data from the U.S. Geological Survey Benchmark Glacier Project glaciers. The workflow produces daily to twice monthly time series of several glacier mass balance and snowmelt indicators (snow-covered area, accumulation area ratio, and seasonal snow line) from 2013 to present. Workflow performance is assessed by comparing automatically classified images and snow lines to manual interpretations at each glacier site. The image classifiers exhibit overall accuracies of 92%–98%, <i>K</i> scores of 84%–96%, and <i>F</i> scores of 93%–98% for all image products. The median difference between automatically and manually delineated median snow line altitudes is 31m (IQR of 73to0m)across all image products. The Sentinel-2 classifier (support vector machine) produces the most accurate glacier mass balance and snowmelt indicators and distinguishes snow from ice and f irn the most reliably. Although they are less accurate, the Landsat- and PlanetScope-derived estimates greatly enhance the temporal coverage of observations. The transient accumulation area ratio produces the least noisy time series, making it the most reliable indicator for characterizing seasonal snow trends. The temporally detailed accumulation area ratio time series reveal that the timing of minimum snow cover conditions varies by up to a month between Arctic (63°N) and midlatitude (48°N) sites, underscoring the potential for bias when estimating glacier minimum snow cover conditions from a single late-summer image. Widespread application of our automated snow detection workflow has the potential to improve regional assessments of glacier mass balance, land ice representations within Earth system models, water resources, and the impacts of climate change on snow cover across broad spatial scales.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Copernicus
