Water features are known to be sensitive to scale change; and thus multiple representations are required to maintain visual and geographic logic at smaller scales. Partial pruning of polygonal features—such as long and sinuous reservoir arms, stream channels that are too narrow at the target scale, and islands that begin to coalesce—entails concurrent management of the length and width of polygonal features as well as integrating pruned polygons with other generalized point and linear hydrographic features to maintain stream network connectivity. The implementation follows data representation standards developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Portions of polygonal rivers, streams, and canals are automatically characterized for width, length, and connectivity. This paper describes an algorithm for automatic detection and subsequent processing, and shows results for a sample of NHD subbasins in different landscape conditions in the United States.","language":"English","publisher":"John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.","doi":"10.1111/tgis.12270","usgsCitation":"Stum, A.K., Buttenfield, B.P., and Stanislawski, L.V., 2017, Partial polygon pruning of hydrographic features in automated generalization: Transactions in GIS, v. 21, no. 5, p. 1061-1078, https://doi.org/10.1111/tgis.12270.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"1061","endPage":"1078","ipdsId":"IP-078637","costCenters":[{"id":5074,"text":"Center for Geospatial Information Science (CEGIS)","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347314,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"21","issue":"5","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":6,"text":"Columbus PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-03-08","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f1a29ee4b0220bbd9d9ef8","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Stum, Alexander K.","contributorId":198209,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stum","given":"Alexander","email":"","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":715372,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Buttenfield, Barbara P.","contributorId":184069,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Buttenfield","given":"Barbara","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":715373,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stanislawski, Larry V. 0000-0002-9437-0576 lstan@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9437-0576","contributorId":3386,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stanislawski","given":"Larry","email":"lstan@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":5074,"text":"Center for Geospatial Information Science (CEGIS)","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":404,"text":"NGTOC Rolla","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":715371,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

A local magnitude ML3.8 event occurred near the Qijiang district south of Chongqing city approximately 12 min after the Gorkha mainshock. Within 30km of this ML3.8 event there are 62 earthquakes since 2009 and only 7 ML&gt;3events, which corresponds to a likelihood of 0.3% for a ML&gt;3on any given day by a random chance. This observation motivates us to investigate the relationship between the ML3.8 event and the Gorkha mainshock. The ML3.8 event is listed in the China Earthquake National Center (CENC) catalog and occurred at shallow depth (∼3km). By examining high-frequency waveforms, we identify a smaller local event (∼ML2.5) ∼15s before the ML3.8 event. Both events occurred during the first two cycles of the Rayleigh waves from the Gorkha mainshock. We perform seismic event detection based on envelope function and waveform matching by using the two events as templates. Both analyses found a statistically significant rate change during the mainshock, suggesting that they were indeed dynamically triggered by the Rayleigh waves. Both events occurred during the peak normal and dilatational stress changes (∼10–30 kPa), consistent with observations of dynamic triggering in other geothermal/volcanic regions. Although other recent events (i.e., the 2011 M9.1 Tohoku-Oki earthquake) produced similar peak ground velocities, the 2015 Gorkha mainshock was the only event that produced clear dynamic triggering in this region. The triggering site is close to hydraulic fracturing wells that began production in 2013–2014. Hence we suspect that fluid injections may increase the region’s susceptibility to remote dynamic triggering.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.epsl.2017.09.024","usgsCitation":"Han, L., Peng, Z., Johnson, C.W., Pollitz, F., Li, L., Wang, B., Wu, J., Li, Q., and Wei, H., 2017, Shallow microearthquakes near Chongqing, China triggered by the Rayleigh waves of the 2015 M7.8 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake: Earth and Planetary Science Letters, v. 479, p. 231-240, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2017.09.024.","productDescription":"10 p.","startPage":"231","endPage":"240","ipdsId":"IP-089927","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469398,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2017.09.024","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":347334,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"China","city":"Chongqing","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              100,\n              26\n            ],\n            [\n              112,\n              26\n            ],\n            [\n              112,\n              34\n            ],\n            [\n              100,\n              34\n            ],\n            [\n              100,\n              26\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"479","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f1a2a3e4b0220bbd9d9f2d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Han, Libo","contributorId":197305,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Han","given":"Libo","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713165,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Peng, Zhigang","contributorId":69432,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Peng","given":"Zhigang","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713166,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Johnson, Christopher W.","contributorId":197307,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Johnson","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713167,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Pollitz, Frederick 0000-0002-4060-2706 fpollitz@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4060-2706","contributorId":139578,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pollitz","given":"Frederick","email":"fpollitz@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":713164,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Li, Lu","contributorId":198276,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Li","given":"Lu","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713168,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Wang, Baoshan","contributorId":197308,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wang","given":"Baoshan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713169,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Wu, Jing","contributorId":191126,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wu","given":"Jing","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713170,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Li, Qiang","contributorId":197310,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Li","given":"Qiang","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713171,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Wei, Hongmei","contributorId":197311,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wei","given":"Hongmei","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713172,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

All 25 samples contained plastic, mostly in the form of foam and line. On average (± SD), boluses and stomachs contained 28.2 ± 14.3 g and 40.3 ± 29.0 g of plastic, respectively. Plastic was the dominant indigestible material in the boluses and the stomach samples, accounting for 48.8%-89.7% of the bolus mass (mean 67.4 ± 12.1%, median 67.5%, n = 20), and for 18.2%-94.1% of the stomach content mass (mean 70.0 ± 30.3%, median 75.6%, n = 5). Although the ingested plastic fragments ranged widely in size, most (92% in boluses, 91% in stomachs) were mesoplastics (5-25 mm), followed by macroplastics (>25 mm; 7% in boluses, 6% in stomachs), and microplastics (1-5 mm; 1% in boluses, 4% in stomachs). Yet the two fragment size distributions were significantly different, with more small-sized items (3-8 mm) in stomachs and with more large-sized items (46-72 mm) in boluses. To investigate where albatross parents collect this material, we tracked seven provisioning adults during 14 foraging trips using satellite-linked transmitters. The tracked birds foraged west of Kure Atoll (180–150°E, 30-40°N) and spent most of their time over pelagic waters (>2000 m deep; averaging 89 ± 9%), with substantial time over seamounts (averaging 11 ± 7%). Together, these results indicate that Black-footed Albatross chicks at Kure Atoll ingest plastics sourced by their parents foraging in waters of the western North Pacific. Provisioning adults forage within an area of surface convergence, downstream from the Kuroshio Current, and frequently visit seamounts northwest of the Hawaiian archipelago.","language":"English","publisher":"Marine Ornithology","usgsCitation":"Hyrenbach, K.D., Hester, M.M., Adams, J., Titmus, A.J., Michael, P., Wahl, T., Chang, C., Marie, A., and Vanderlip, C., 2017, Plastic ingestion by Black-footed Albatross Phoebastria nigripes from Kure Atoll, Hawai'i: Linking chick diet remains and parental at-sea foraging distributions: Marine Ornithology: Journal of Seabird Research and Conservation, v. 45, no. 2, p. 225-236.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"225","endPage":"236","ipdsId":"IP-087030","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347367,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":347032,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.marineornithology.org/content/get.cgi?rn=1232"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawaii","otherGeospatial":"Kure Atoll","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {\n        \"stroke\": \"#555555\",\n        \"stroke-width\": 2,\n        \"stroke-opacity\": 1,\n        \"fill\": \"#555555\",\n        \"fill-opacity\": 0.5\n      },\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -178.35565567016602,\n              28.376599976934674\n            ],\n            [\n              -178.2773780822754,\n              28.376599976934674\n            ],\n            [\n              -178.2773780822754,\n              28.440468539620316\n            ],\n            [\n              -178.35565567016602,\n              28.440468539620316\n            ],\n            [\n              -178.35565567016602,\n              28.376599976934674\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"45","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f1a2a1e4b0220bbd9d9f19","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hyrenbach, K.

However, other chalcophile elements, especially TABS (Te, As, Bi, Sb, and Sn) have been neglected despite their critical role in forming platinum-group minerals (PGM). TABS are volatile trace elements that are considered to be mobile so investigating their primary distribution may be challenging in magmatic ore bodies that have been somewhat altered. Magmatic sulfide ore bodies from the Noril’sk-Talnakh mining district (polar Siberia, Russia) offer an exceptional opportunity to investigate the behavior of TABS during fractional crystallization of sulfide liquids and PGM formation as the primary features of the ore bodies have been relatively well preserved. In this study, new petrographic (2D and 3D) and whole-rock geochemical data from Cu-poor to Cu-rich sulfide ores of the Noril’sk-Talnakh mining district are integrated with published data to consider the role of fractional crystallization in generating mineralogical and geochemical variations across the different ore types (disseminated to massive). Despite textural variations in Cu-rich massive sulfides (lenses, veins, and breccias), these sulfides have similar chemical compositions, which suggests that Cu-rich veins and breccias formed from fractionated sulfide liquids that were injected into the surrounding rocks. Numerical modeling using the median disseminated sulfide composition as the initial sulfide liquid composition and recent DMSS/liq and DISS/liq predicts the compositional variations observed in the massive sulfides, especially in terms of Pt, Pd, and TABS. Therefore, distribution of these elements in the massive sulfides was likely controlled by their partitioning behavior during sulfide liquid fractional crystallization, prior to PGM formation. Our observations indicate that in the Cu-poor massive sulfides the PGM formed as the result of exsolution from sulfide minerals whereas in the Cu-rich massive sulfides the PGM formed by crystallization from late-stage fractionated sulfide liquids. We suggest that the significant amount of Sn-bearing PGM may be related to crustal contamination from granodiorite, whereas As, Bi, Te, and Sb were likely added to the magma along with S from sedimentary rocks.

Thirty-two samples were obtained down the length of the core, 19 from hemipelagic and mixed mud deposits considered to be the background record, and 13 others from displaced flow deposits. The pollen record obtained from the background samples documents variations in the terrestrial flora as it adapted to changing climatic conditions over the last 19,000 cal yrs BP. A Q-mode cluster analysis defined three pollen zones: a Glacial Pollen Zone (ca. 20,000–17,000 cal yr BP), an overlying Transitional Pollen Zone (ca. 17,000–11,500 cal yr BP), and an Interglacial Pollen Zone (ca. 11,500 cal yr BP to present). Another Q-mode cluster analysis, of both the background mud and flow deposits, also defined these three pollen zones, but four of the 13 turbiditic deposits were assigned to pollen zones older than expected by their stratigraphic position. This was due to these samples containing statistically significant fewer palynomorphs than the background muds as well as being enriched (∼10–35% in some cases) in hydraulically-efficient Pinus pollen. A selective bias in the pollen assemblage, such as demonstrated here, may result in incorrect interpretations (e.g., climatic shifts or environmental perturbations) based on the floral record, indicating turbiditic deposits should be avoided in marine palynological studies. Particularly in the case of fine-grained flow deposits that may not be visually distinct, granulometry and grain size frequency distribution curves may not be enough to identify these biased deposits. Determining the relative abundance and source of displaced shallow-water benthic foraminifera entrained in these sediments serves as an excellent additional tool to do so.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.quaint.2016.11.003","usgsCitation":"McGann, M., 2017, Selective transport of palynomorphs in marine turbiditic deposits: An example from the Ascension-Monterey Canyon system offshore central California: Quaternary International, v. 469, no.

Ground shooting with dogs, intensive aerial shooting, ground sweeps, and forward-looking infrared (FLIR)-assisted shooting were necessary to find and remove the last remaining mouflon. The Judas technique, baiting, and trapping were not successful in attracting or detecting small numbers of remaining individuals. Effort expended to remove each mouflon increased nearly 15-fold during the last 3 yr of eradication effort from 2013 to 2016. Complementary active and passive monitoring techniques allowed us to track the effectiveness of control effort and reveal locations of small groups to staff.

The GYE population remains isolated and although effective population size has increased since the early 1980s, genetic connectivity between these populations remains a long-term management goal. With only ~110&nbsp;km distance separating current estimates of occupied range for these populations, the potential for gene flow is likely greater now than it has been for many decades. We sought to delineate potential paths that would provide the opportunity for male-mediated gene flow between the two populations. We first developed step-selection functions to generate conductance layers using ecological, physical, and anthropogenic landscape features associated with non-stationary GPS locations of 124 male grizzly bears (199 bear-years). We then used a randomized shortest path (RSP) algorithm to estimate the average number of net passages for all grid cells in the study region, when moving from an origin to a destination node. Given habitat characteristics that were the basis for the conductance layer, movements follow certain grid cell sequences more than others and the resulting RSP values thus provide a measure of movement potential. Repeating this process for 100 pairs of random origin and destination nodes, we identified paths for three levels of random deviation (θ) from the least-cost path. We observed broad-scale concordance between model predictions for paths originating in the NCDE and those originating in the GYE for all three levels of movement exploration. Model predictions indicated that male grizzly bear movement between the ecosystems could involve a variety of routes, and verified observations of grizzly bears outside occupied range supported this finding. Where landscape features concentrated paths into corridors (e.g., because of anthropogenic influence), they typically followed neighboring mountain ranges, of which several could serve as pivotal stepping stones. The RSP layers provide detailed, spatially explicit information for land managers and organizations working with land owners to identify and prioritize conservation measures that maintain or enhance the integrity of potential areas conducive to male grizzly bear dispersal.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Ecological Society of America","doi":"10.1002/ecs2.1969","usgsCitation":"Peck, C.P., van Manen, F.T., Costello, C.M., Haroldson, M.A., Landenburger, L., Roberts, L.L., Bjornlie, D.D., and Mace, R.D., 2017, Potential paths for male-mediated gene flow to and from an isolated grizzly bear population: Ecosphere, v. 8, no. 10, p. 1-19, https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.1969.","productDescription":"e01969;

A recently released testing dataset includes arsenic concentrations from groundwater samples collected in 2004–2005 from a mix of 367 public-supply and private domestic wells. The use of this dataset to test three existing logistic regression models demonstrated enhanced overall predictive accuracy for the 5 and 10 μg/L models. Overall accuracies of 54.8, 76.3, and 86.4 percent were reported for the 1, 5, and 10 μg/L models, respectively. The state was divided by counties into northwest and southeast regions. Regional differences in accuracy were identified; models had an average accuracy of 83.1 percent for the counties in the northwest and 63.7 percent in the southeast. This is most likely due to high model specificity in the northwest and regional differences in arsenic occurrence. Though these models have limitations, they allow for arsenic hazard assessment across the region. The introduction of well-type (public or private), well depth, and casing length as explanatory variables may be appropriate measures to improve model performance. Our findings indicate that the original models generalize to the testing dataset, and should continue to serve as an important vehicle of preventative public health that may be applied to other groundwater contaminants in New Hampshire.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1936-704X.2017.03238.x","usgsCitation":"Andy, C., Fahnestock, M.F., Lombard, M.A., Hayes, L.,

Trends in annual minimum, mean, and maximum groundwater levels for 205 monitoring wells were analyzed across three regions of the system (East, Central, West Central) for four time periods: 1964-2013, 1974-2013, 1984-2013, and 1994-2013. Trends were computed separately for wells in the glacial aquifer system with low potential for human influence on groundwater levels and ones with high potential influence from activities such as groundwater pumping. Generally there were more wells with significantly increasing groundwater levels (levels closer to ground surface) than wells with significantly decreasing levels. The highest numbers of significant increases for all four time periods were with annual minimum and/or mean levels. There were many more wells with significant increases from 1964 to 2013 than from more recent periods, consistent with low precipitation in the 1960s. Overall there were low numbers of wells with significantly decreasing trends regardless of time period considered; the highest number of these were generally for annual minimum groundwater levels at wells with likely human influence. There were substantial differences in the number of wells with significant groundwater-level trends over time, depending on whether the historical time series are assumed to be independent, have short-term persistence, or have long-term persistence. Mean annual groundwater levels have significant lag-one-year autocorrelation at 26.0% of wells in the East region, 65.4% of wells in the Central region, and 100% of wells in the West Central region. Annual precipitation across the glacial aquifer system, on the other hand, has significant autocorrelation at only 5.5% of stations, about the percentage expected due to chance.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2017.07.055","usgsCitation":"Hodgkins, G.A., Dudley, R.W., Nielsen, M.G., Renard, B., and Qi, S.L., 2017,

However, it can be difficult to characterize the numbers of broadly distributed, low-density, and elusive bird species. Although Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) are rare, difficult to detect, and broadly distributed, they are concentrated during their autumn migration at monitoring sites in eastern North America. We used hawk-count data collected by citizen scientists in a virtual mark–recapture modeling analysis to estimate the numbers of Golden Eagles that migrate in autumn along Kittatinny Ridge, an Important Bird Area in Pennsylvania, USA. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of our abundance estimates to variation in eagle capture histories, we applied candidate models to 8 different sets of capture histories, constructed with or without age-class information and using known mean flight speeds 6 1, 2, 4, or 6 SE for eagles to travel between hawk-count sites. Although some abundance estimates were produced by models that poorly fitted the data (<i>ĉ</i> &gt; 3.0), 2 sets of population estimates were produced by acceptably performing models (cˆ less than or equal to 3.0). Application of these models to count data from November, 2002–2011, suggested a mean population abundance of 1,354 6 117 SE (range: 873–1,938). We found that Golden Eagles left the ridgeline at different rates and in different places along the route, and that typically ,50% of individuals were detected at the hawk-count sites. Our study demonstrates a useful technique for estimating population abundance that may be applicable to other migrant species that are repeatedly detected at multiple monitoring sites along a topographic diversion or leading line.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"BioOne","doi":"10.1650/CONDOR-16-166.1","usgsCitation":"Dennhardt, A.J., Duerr, A.E., Brandes, D., and Katzner, T., 2017, Applying citizen-science data and mark-recapture models to estimate numbers of migrant golden eagles in an important bird area in eastern North America: The Condor, v. 119, no. 4, p. 817-831, https://doi.org/10.1650/CONDOR-16-166.1.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"817","endPage":"831","ipdsId":"IP-074201","costCenters":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469394,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1650/condor-16-166.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":347305,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Pennslyvania","otherGeospatial":"Kittatinny Ridge","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -81.123046875,\n              39.257778150283364\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.916015625,\n              39.257778150283364\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.916015625,\n              42.78733853171998\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.123046875,\n              42.78733853171998\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.123046875,\n              39.257778150283364\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"119","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f1a29ee4b0220bbd9d9eea","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dennhardt, Andrew J.","contributorId":198247,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dennhardt","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":715500,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Duerr, Adam E.","contributorId":190590,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Duerr","given":"Adam","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":16210,"text":"Division of Forestry and Natural Resources, West Virginia University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":715501,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brandes, David","contributorId":138917,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brandes","given":"David","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":35653,"text":"Lafayette College, Easton, PA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":715502,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Katzner, Todd E. 0000-0003-4503-8435 tkatzner@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4503-8435","contributorId":191353,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Katzner","given":"Todd E.","email":"tkatzner@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":290,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":715499,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

This article discusses the recovery of wolves, their benefits and values, the ways in which they conflict with humans, and the potential for their expansion into new areas.It concludes that wolf conservation will best be accomplished by each responsible political entity adaptively prescribing different management strategies for different zones within its purview.Some zones for some periods can support total protection, whereas in others, wolf numbers will have to be reduced to various degrees or removed.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.biocon.2017.04.029","usgsCitation":"Mech, L.D., 2017, Where can wolves live and how can we live with them?: Biological Conservation, v. 210, no.

Field studies, however, have documented observation errors in visually estimated plant cover including measurements which differ from the true value (measurement error) and not observing a species that is present within a plot (detection error). Unlike the rapid expansion of occupancy and N-mixture models for analysing wildlife surveys, development of statistical models accounting for observation error in plants has not progressed quickly. Our work informs development of a monitoring protocol for managed wetlands within the National Wildlife Refuge System.</li><li>Zero-augmented beta (ZAB) regression is the most suitable method for analysing areal plant cover recorded as a continuous proportion but assumes no observation errors. We present a model extension that explicitly includes the observation process thereby accounting for both measurement and detection errors. Using simulations, we compare our approach to a ZAB regression that ignores observation errors (naïve model) and an “ad hoc” approach using a composite of multiple observations per plot within the naïve model. We explore how sample size and within-season revisit design affect the ability to detect a change in mean plant cover between 2&nbsp;years using our model.</li><li>Explicitly modelling the observation process within our framework produced unbiased estimates and nominal coverage of model parameters. The naïve and “ad hoc” approaches resulted in underestimation of occurrence and overestimation of mean cover.

In this study, a spatially explicit statistical model framework was integrated with empirical stream temperature data (approximately four million bi-hourly recordings) and high-resolution climate and land surface data to estimate monthly stream temperatures and potential change under future climate scenarios in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem, USA and Canada (72,000 km2). Moderate and extreme warming scenarios forecast increasing stream temperatures during spring, summer, and fall, with the largest increases predicted during summer (July, August, and September). Additionally, thermal regimes characteristic of current August temperatures, the warmest month of the year, may be exceeded during July and September, suggesting an earlier and extended duration of warm summer stream temperatures. Models estimate that the largest magnitude of temperature warming relative to current conditions may be observed during the shoulder months of winter (April and November). Summer stream temperature warming is likely to be most pronounced in glacial-fed streams where models predict the largest magnitude (> 50%) of change due to the loss of alpine glaciers. We provide the first broad-scale analysis of seasonal climate effects on spatiotemporal patterns of stream temperature in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem for better understanding climate change impacts on freshwater habitats and guiding conservation and climate adaptation strategies.","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/s10584-017-2060-7","usgsCitation":"Jones, L.A., Muhlfeld, C.C., and Marshall, L.A., 2017, Projected warming portends seasonal shifts of stream temperatures in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem, USA and Canada: Climatic Change, v. 144, no. 4, p. 641-655, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-017-2060-7.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"641","endPage":"655","ipdsId":"IP-081391","costCenters":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347330,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -116.27929687499999,\n              43.54854811091286\n            ],\n            [\n              -113.37890625,\n              43.13306116240612\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.884765625,\n              43.99281450048989\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.357421875,\n              45.058001435398275\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.1708984375,\n              46.437856895024204\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.302734375,\n              47.040182144806664\n            ],\n            [\n              -112.54394531249999,\n              49.66762782262194\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.08203125,\n              50.708634400828224\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.76269531249999,\n              53.35710874569601\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.267578125,\n              54.92714186454645\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.728515625,\n              55.70235509327093\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.9150390625,\n              55.25407706707272\n            ],\n            [\n              -123.04687499999999,\n              54.54657953840501\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.2119140625,\n              52.5897007687178\n            ],\n            [\n              -120.76171875,\n              50.764259357116465\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.66308593749999,\n              48.83579746243093\n            ],\n            [\n              -118.037109375,\n              47.30903424774781\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.6416015625,\n              45.706179285330855\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.24609374999999,\n              44.5278427984555\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.27929687499999,\n              43.54854811091286\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"144","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":2,"text":"Denver PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-09-05","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f1a2a0e4b0220bbd9d9f0a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Jones, Leslie A. 0000-0002-4953-7189 lajones@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4953-7189","contributorId":4599,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jones","given":"Leslie","email":"lajones@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":715260,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Muhlfeld, Clint C. 0000-0002-4599-4059 cmuhlfeld@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4599-4059","contributorId":924,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Muhlfeld","given":"Clint","email":"cmuhlfeld@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":715258,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Marshall, Lucy A. 0000-0003-0450-4292","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0450-4292","contributorId":198080,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Marshall","given":"Lucy","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":715259,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Similar to the propensity to engage in voluntary catch-and-release, the propensity to harvest fishes strongly varies among cultures, locations, species and fisheries. There is a misconception that because recreational fishing happens during non-work (i.e. leisure) time, the nutritional motivation is negligible; therefore, the role of recreational fishing in supporting nutrition (and thus food security) at regional, national or global scales is underappreciated. We consider the factors that influence whether fish will be harvested or released by examining the motives that underlie recreational fishing. Next, we provide an overview of the magnitude and role of recreational fishing harvest in supporting nutrition using regional case-studies. Then, we address issues such as contaminants and parasites that constrain the ability of fish harvested by recreational fishers to be consumed. Although recreational fishing is foremost a leisure activity, the harvest of fish for personal consumption by recreational fishers has contributed and will continue to contribute to human nutrition by providing an accessible, affordable and generally highly sustainable food source, notwithstanding concerns about food safety and possibly overfishing. Attempts to better quantify the role of fish harvested by recreational fishers and the relative contribution to overall food security and personal nutrition will provide resource managers and policymakers the information needed to guide management activities and policy development.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/faf.12246","usgsCitation":"Cooke, S., Twardek, W.M., Lennox, R.J., Zolderdo, A.J., Bower, S.D., Gutowsky, L.F., Danylchuk, A.J., Arlinghaus, R., and Beard, 2017, The nexus of fun and nutrition: Recreational fishing is also about food: Fish and Fisheries, v. 19, no. 2, p. 2012-224, https://doi.org/10.1111/faf.12246.","productDescription":"24 p.","startPage":"2012","endPage":"224","ipdsId":"IP-083974","costCenters":[{"id":411,"text":"National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":36940,"text":"National Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347323,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"19","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-09-18","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f1a2a4e4b0220bbd9d9f2f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cooke, Steven J.","contributorId":56132,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cooke","given":"Steven J.","affiliations":[{"id":36574,"text":"Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":715563,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Twardek, William M.","contributorId":198272,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Twardek","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":715564,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lennox, Robert J.","contributorId":198273,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lennox","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":715565,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Zolderdo, Aaron J.","contributorId":198274,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zolderdo","given":"Aaron","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":715566,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Bower, Shannon D.","contributorId":166921,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bower","given":"Shannon","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":17786,"text":"Carleton University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":715567,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Gutowsky, Lee F.

This shift has magnified the importance of downscaling as a means to translate coarse-scale global climate model (GCM) output to a finer scale that more closely matches the scale of interest. Applying this technique, however, introduces a new source of uncertainty into any resulting climate model ensemble. Here we present a method, based on a previously established variance decomposition method, to partition and quantify the uncertainty in climate model ensembles that is attributable to downscaling. We apply the method to the Southeast U.S. using five downscaled datasets that represent both statistical and dynamical downscaling techniques. The combined ensemble is highly fragmented, in that only a small portion of the complete set of downscaled GCMs and emission scenarios are typically available. The results indicate that the uncertainty attributable to downscaling approaches ~20% for large areas of the Southeast U.S. for precipitation and ~30% for extreme heat days (&gt; 35°C) in the Appalachian Mountains. However, attributable quantities are significantly lower for time periods when the full ensemble is considered but only a sub-sample of all models are available, suggesting that overconfidence could be a serious problem in studies that employ a single set of downscaled GCMs. We conclude with recommendations to advance the design of climate model experiments so that the uncertainty that accrues when downscaling is employed is more fully and systematically considered.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","doi":"10.1175/JAMC-D-17-0087.1","usgsCitation":"Wootten, A., Terando, A., Reich, B.J., Boyles, R.P., and Semazzi, F., 2017, Characterizing sources of uncertainty from global climate models and downscaling techniques: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, v. 56, p. 3245-3262, https://doi.org/10.1175/JAMC-D-17-0087.1.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"3245","endPage":"3262","ipdsId":"IP-088255","costCenters":[{"id":565,"text":"Southeast Climate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469388,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1175/jamc-d-17-0087.1","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":347350,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"56","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f1a2a1e4b0220bbd9d9f1c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wootten, Adrienne","contributorId":197529,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wootten","given":"Adrienne","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714033,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Terando, Adam 0000-0002-9280-043X aterando@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9280-043X","contributorId":197511,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Terando","given":"Adam","email":"aterando@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":565,"text":"Southeast Climate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":714032,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Reich, Brian J.","contributorId":150871,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Reich","given":"Brian","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":7091,"text":"North Carolina State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":714034,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Boyles, Ryan P. 0000-0001-9272-867X rboyles@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9272-867X","contributorId":197670,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Boyles","given":"Ryan","email":"rboyles@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":36940,"text":"National Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":714035,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Semazzi, Fred","contributorId":197671,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Semazzi","given":"Fred","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714036,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System is a deterministic, distributed-parameter, physical-process-based modeling system developed to evaluate the response of streamflow and general drainage basin hydrology to various combinations of climate and land use. Calibration periods for each basin varied depending on the period of record available for daily mean streamflow measurements at U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations.</p><p>A geographic information system tool was used to delineate each basin and estimate initial values for model parameters based on basin physical and geographical features. A U.S. Geological Survey automatic calibration tool that uses a shuffled complex evolution algorithm was used for initial calibration, and then manual modifications were made to parameter values to complete the calibration of each basin model. The main objective of the calibration was to match daily discharge values of simulated streamflow to measured daily discharge values. The Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System model was calibrated at 42 sites located in the 12 river basins in western Iowa.</p><p>The accuracy of the simulated daily streamflow values at the 42 calibration sites varied by river and by site. The models were satisfactory at 36 of the sites based on statistical results. Unsatisfactory performance at the six other sites can be attributed to several factors: (1) low flow, no flow, and flashy flow conditions in headwater subbasins having a small drainage area; (2) poor representation of the groundwater and storage components of flow within a basin; (3) lack of accounting for basin withdrawals and water use; and (4) limited availability and accuracy of meteorological input data. The Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System models of 12 river basins in western Iowa will provide water-resource managers with a consistent and documented method for estimating streamflow at ungaged sites and aid in environmental studies, hydraulic design, water management, and water-quality projects.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/sir20175091","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources","usgsCitation":"Christiansen, D.E., Haj, A.E., and Risely, J.C., 2017, Simulation of daily streamflow for 12 river basins in western Iowa using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2017–5091, 27 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175091.

Tarasenko and others","docAbstract":"<p>The geologic maps and cross sections presented in this report are redrafted and modified versions of the <i>Geologic map and map of useful minerals of the Dusar area</i> (scale 1:50,000) and <i>Geologic sketch map of the Dusar and Namak-sory ore occurrences</i> (scale 1:10,000), located in the Herat Province, Afghanistan. The original maps and cross sections are contained in unpublished Soviet report no. 0290 (Tarasenko and others, 1973) prepared in cooperation with the Ministry of Mines and Industries of the Royal Government of Afghanistan, in Kabul during 1973 under contract no. 50728. The redrafted maps and cross sections (modified from Tarasenko and others, 1973) illustrate the geological structure and mineral occurrences of the Dusar copper-gold-silver-lead-zinc prospect area of western Afghanistan, located within the Dusar-Shaida copper and tin area of interest (AOI), Herat Province, Afghanistan.</p><p>Mineralization in the Dusar area is hosted within Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous stratified volcanic and sedimentary rocks associated with numerous diabase and gabbro-diabase intrusive bodies and is generally near a major northeast-trending system of faults and quartz veins. Host rocks consist of quartz keratophyre and quartz-feldspar porphyry, with layers of schist, phyllite, and quartz-chlorite and chlorite-sericite slate; and limestone and shale, with schist and carbonate-chlorite and chlorite slate. Known mineralization includes an extensive quartz vein system, shown on the map as the “northern occurrence,” as well as the Dusar and Namak-sory gossan zones, interpreted to have formed from remnant pyrite mineralization. The veins of the northern occurrence and their altered host rocks are known to contain anomalous to economic concentrations of precious and base metals, with concentrations locally in excess of 2 parts per million gold, 100 parts per million silver, 5 percent copper, and 1 percent lead. These veins occur in swarms, and are hosted along structures that are approximately concordant with the plane of the metamorphic fabric. The veins consist mostly of quartz, with minor carbonate and sulfide minerals, and display weak alteration halos along their margins. The gossans are locally anomalous in these metals, but their size and extent makes them attractive exploration targets for potential massive sulfide mineralization.</p><p>The Dusar gossan zone is a massive, ochreous, and siliceous limonitic rock, approximately 2,200 meters long, 30 to 250 meters wide, and 2.0 to 7.2 meters thick. Drilling below the Dusar gossan intersected a siliceous, sericitic, and limonitic rock underlain by quartz keratophyre with abundant disseminated pyrite. Mineralized sections grade 0.06 weight percent copper and up to 0.05 weight percent zinc. The Namak-sory gossan zone contains a similar deposit with anomalous concentrations of copper, zinc, and gold.</p><p>The redrafted maps and cross sections reproduce the topology of rock units, contacts, and faults of the original Soviet maps and cross sections, and include minor modifications based on examination of the originals and observations made during two brief field visits by USGS staff in August, 2010, and June, 2013.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20171126","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Afghan Geological Survey under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Defense","usgsCitation":"Tucker, R.D., Stettner, W.R., Masonic, L.M., and Bogdanow, A.K., comps., 2017, Geologic map of the Dusar area, Herat Province, Afghanistan; Modified from the 1973 original map compilations of V.I.

There are now over 250 registered users, of ModEM3DMT from around the globe. To date at least 50 publications cite use of ModEM for 3D inversion of real MT datasets to address diverse problems in applied and basic Earth Science research at a range of scales.
