We used luminescence dating to determine the age of paleolake deltas and glacial tills in Garwood Valley, a coastal dry valley that opens to the Ross Sea. Luminescence ages are stratigraphically consistent with radiocarbon results from algal mats within the same delta deposits but suggest radiocarbon dates from lacustrine carbonates may overestimate deposit ages by thousands of years. Results suggest that late Holocene delta deposition into paleolake Howard in Garwood Valley persisted until ca. 3.5 ka. This is significantly younger than the date when grounded ice is thought to have retreated from the Ross Sea. Our evidence suggests that the local, stranded ice-cored till topography in Garwood Valley, rather than regional ice-sheet dynamics, may have controlled lake levels for some McMurdo Dry Valleys paleolakes. Age control from the supraglacial Ross Sea drift suggests grounding and up-valley advance of the Ross Sea ice sheet into Garwood valley during marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 4 (71–78 ka) and the local Last Glacial Maximum (9–10 ka). This work demonstrates the power of combining luminescence dating with existing radiocarbon data sets to improve understanding of the relationships among paleolake formation, glacial position, and stream discharge in response to climate change.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/B31539.1","usgsCitation":"Levy, J.S., Rittenour, T.M., Fountain, A.G., and O'Connor, J., 2017, Luminescence dating of paleolake deltas and glacial deposits in Garwood Valley, Antarctica: Implications for climate, Ross ice sheet dynamics, and paleolake duration: GSA Bulletin, v. 129, no. 9-10, p. 1071-1084, https://doi.org/10.1130/B31539.1.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"1071","endPage":"1084","ipdsId":"IP-081563","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":349678,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"Antarctica, Garwood Valley","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              162.57810708401985,\n              -77.92420898064601\n            ],\n            [\n              162.57810708401985,\n              -78.2292273580918\n            ],\n            [\n              163.64743653657746,\n              -78.2292273580918\n            ],\n            [\n              163.64743653657746,\n              -77.92420898064601\n            ],\n            [\n              162.57810708401985,\n              -77.92420898064601\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"129","issue":"9-10","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-04-28","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a60fb5be4b06e28e9c22fa5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Levy, Joseph S.","contributorId":201143,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Levy","given":"Joseph","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":724426,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Rittenour, Tammy M.","contributorId":140755,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rittenour","given":"Tammy","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":6682,"text":"Utah State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":724427,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Fountain, Andrew G.","contributorId":10410,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fountain","given":"Andrew","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[{"id":6929,"text":"Portland State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":724428,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"O'Connor, Jim E. 0000-0002-7928-5883 oconnor@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7928-5883","contributorId":140771,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"O'Connor","given":"Jim E.","email":"oconnor@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":724425,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Accurately estimating the amount of water withdrawals and actual consumptive water use (the difference between water withdrawals and return flow) for irrigation at a regional scale is difficult. Remote sensing methods make it possible to compare actual ET (ETa) rates which can serve as a proxy for consumptive water use from different irrigation regimes at a regional scale in a systematic manner. This study investigates crucial components of water use from irrigation such as the difference of ETa rates from flood- and sprinkler-irrigated fields, spatial variability of ETa within a watershed, and the effect of sprinkler irrigation on the water budget of the study area. The mean accumulated ETa depth for the 1,051 square kilometer study area within the upper Smith River watershed was about 467 mm 30-meter per pixel for the 2007 growing season (April through mid-October). The total accumulated volume of ETa for the study area was about 474.705 million cubic meters. The mean accumulated ETa depth from sprinkler-irrigated land was about 687 mm and from flood-irrigated land was about 621 mm from flood-irrigated land. On average, the ETa rate from sprinkler-irrigated fields was 0.25 mm per day higher than flood-irrigated fields over the growing season. Spatial analysis showed that ETa rates within individual fields of a single crop type that are irrigated with a single method (sprinkler or flood) can vary up to about 8 mm per day. It was estimated that the amount of sprinkler irrigation in 2007 accounted for approximately 3% of the total volume of ETa in the study area. When compared to non-irrigated dryland, sprinkler irrigation increases ETa by about 59 to 82% per unit area.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"OMICS International","doi":"10.4172/2168-9768.1000188","usgsCitation":"Sando, R., Caldwell, R.R., and Blasch, K.W., 2017, Using remote sensing to characterize and compare evapotranspiration from different irrigation regimes in the Smith River Watershed of central Montana: Irrigation & Drainage Systems Engineering, v. 6, no. 2, p. 1-10, https://doi.org/10.4172/2168-9768.1000188.","productDescription":"Article  1000188; 10 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"10","ipdsId":"IP-064076","costCenters":[{"id":5050,"text":"WY-MT Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469560,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2168-9768.1000188","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":352681,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Montana","otherGeospatial":"Smith River Watershed","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.456298828125,\n              46.25\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.54443359375,\n              46.25\n            ],\n            [\n              -110.54443359375,\n              46.82731489926434\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.456298828125,\n              46.82731489926434\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.456298828125,\n              46.25\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"6","issue":"2","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee804e4b0da30c1bfc3cc","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sando, Roy 0000-0003-0704-6258","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0704-6258","contributorId":3874,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sando","given":"Roy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":685,"text":"Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731435,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Caldwell, Rodney R. 0000-0002-2588-715X caldwell@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2588-715X","contributorId":2577,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Caldwell","given":"Rodney","email":"caldwell@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":685,"text":"Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731437,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Blasch, Kyle W. 0000-0002-0590-0724 kblasch@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0590-0724","contributorId":1631,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Blasch","given":"Kyle","email":"kblasch@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":5050,"text":"WY-MT Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731436,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The instrumental record of seismicity in Nepal is poor, so PGA estimates were based on empirical Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) constrained by teleseismic data and felt reports.

Recent changes are most marked along the relatively narrow interfaces between agricultural and forest areas that occur towards the boundaries of the province. One important observation is that the most highly protected national reserves in the region have not changed much over the entire Landsat timeframe (1972–present). Spectral changes within these regions have not occurred at the same levels as those areas adjacent to the reserves.&nbsp;</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/f8070238","usgsCitation":"Vogelmann, J., Van Khoa, P., Lan, X., Shermeyer, J.S., Shi, H., Wimberly, M.C., Tat Duong, H., and Van Huong, L., 2017, Assessment of forest degradation in Vietnam using Landsat time series data: Forests, v. 8, no. 7, p. 1-22, https://doi.org/10.3390/f8070238.","productDescription":"Article 238; 22 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"22","ipdsId":"IP-087749","costCenters":[{"id":222,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469558,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f8070238","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":345866,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Vietnam","geographicExtents":"{\"type\":\"FeatureCollection\",\"features\":[{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"geometry\":{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[108.05018,21.55238],[106.71507,20.69685],[105.88168,19.75205],[105.66201,19.05817],[106.42682,18.00412],[107.36195,16.69746],[108.2695,16.07974],[108.87711,15.27669],[109.33527,13.42603],[109.20014,11.66686],[108.36613,11.00832],[107.22093,10.36448],[106.40511,9.53084],[105.15826,8.59976],[104.79519,9.24104],[105.0762,9.91849],[104.33433,10.48654],[105.19991,10.88931],[106.24967,10.96181],[105.81052,11.56761],[107.4914,12.33721],[107.61455,13.53553],[107.38273,14.20244],[107.56453,15.20217],[107.31271,15.90854],[106.55601,16.60428],[105.92576,17.48532],[105.0946,18.66697],[103.89653,19.26518],[104.18339,19.62467],[104.82257,19.88664],[104.435,20.75873],[103.20386,20.76656],[102.7549,21.67514],[102.17044,22.46475],[102.70699,22.7088],[103.50451,22.70376],[104.47686,22.81915],[105.32921,23.35206],[105.81125,22.97689],[106.7254,22.79427],[106.56727,22.2182],[107.04342,21.8119],[108.05018,21.55238]]]},\"properties\":{\"name\":\"Vietnam\"}}]}","volume":"8","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-07-04","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59c0db1ee4b091459a5f4733","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Vogelmann, James 0000-0002-0804-5823 vogel@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0804-5823","contributorId":192352,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vogelmann","given":"James","email":"vogel@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":5055,"text":"Land Change Science","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":223,"text":"Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center (Geography)","active":false,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":697698,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Van Khoa, Phung","contributorId":192766,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Van Khoa","given":"Phung","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":697699,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lan, Xuan","contributorId":192767,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lan","given":"Xuan","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":697700,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Shermeyer, Jacob S. 0000-0002-8143-2790 jshermeyer@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8143-2790","contributorId":5825,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Shermeyer","given":"Jacob","email":"jshermeyer@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":242,"text":"Eastern Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":697701,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Shi, Hua 0000-0001-7013-1565","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7013-1565","contributorId":192768,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Shi","given":"Hua","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":697702,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Wimberly, Michael C.","contributorId":167855,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wimberly","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":5089,"text":"South Dakota State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":697703,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Tat Duong, Hoang","contributorId":192770,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Tat Duong","given":"Hoang","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":697704,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Van Huong, Le","contributorId":192771,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Van Huong","given":"Le","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":697705,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

Implementation of water quality BMPs may also benefit riparian and aquatic wildlife, although wildlife benefits were not driving forces for BMP development. Therefore, we reviewed literature regarding potential contributions of sediment-reducing BMPs to conservation of riparian and aquatic wildlife, while realizing that BMPs also minimize thermal, nutrient, and chemical pollution. We reached five important conclusions: (1) a significant body of research confirms that forestry BMPs contribute to the protection of water quality and riparian forest structure; (2) data-specific relationships between forestry BMPs and reviewed species are limited; (3) forestry BMPs for forest road construction and maintenance, skid trails, stream crossings, and streamside management zones (SMZs) are important particularly for protection of water quality and aquatic species; (4) stream crossings should be carefully selected and installed to minimize sediment inputs and stream channel alterations; and (5) SMZs promote retention of older-age riparian habitat with benefits extending from water bodies to surrounding uplands. Overall, BMPs developed for protection of water quality should benefit a variety of riparian and aquatic species that are sensitive to changes in water quality or forest structure.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/f8090331","usgsCitation":"Warrington, B.M., Aust, W.M., Barrett, S.M., Ford, W.M., Dolloff, C.A., Schilling, E.B., Wigley, T.B., and Bolding, M.C., 2017, Forestry best management practices relationships with aquatic and riparian fauna: A review: Forests, v. 8, no. 9, p. 1-16, https://doi.org/10.3390/f8090331.","productDescription":"Article 331 p.; 16 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"16","ipdsId":"IP-090020","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":469572,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/f8090331","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":348259,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"8","issue":"9","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-09-07","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07e889e4b09af898c8cb7d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Warrington, Brooke M.","contributorId":199538,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Warrington","given":"Brooke","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":719381,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Aust, W.

GPS data from GEONET reveal transient crustal motions from several millimeters per year up to ∼3&nbsp;cm/yr during the first 8.5&nbsp;months following the sequence. The spatial pattern of horizontal postseismic motions is shaped by both shallow afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation of the lower crust and upper mantle. We construct a suite of 2-D regional viscoelastic structures in order to derive an optimal joint afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation model using forward modeling of the viscoelastic relaxation. We find that afterslip dominates the postseismic relaxation in the near field (within 30&nbsp;km of the main shock epicenter), while viscoelastic relaxation dominates at greater distance. The viscoelastic modeling strongly favors a very weak lower crust below a ∼65&nbsp;km wide zone coinciding with the Beppu-Shimabara graben and the locus of central Kyushu volcanism. Inferred uppermost mantle viscosity is relatively low beneath southern Kyushu, consistent with independent inferences of a hydrated mantle wedge within the Nankai trough fore -arc.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"AGU","doi":"10.1002/2017GL074783","usgsCitation":"Pollitz, F., Kobayashi, T., Yarai, H., Shibazaki, B., and Matsumoto, T., 2017, Viscoelastic lower crust and mantle relaxation following the 14–16 April 2016 Kumamoto, Japan, earthquake sequence: Geophysical Research Letters, v. 44, no. 17, p. 8795-8803, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017GL074783.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"8795","endPage":"8803","ipdsId":"IP-088335","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":347321,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Japan","city":"Kumamoto","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              130,\n              31.5\n            ],\n            [\n              132,\n              31.5\n            ],\n            [\n              132,\n              34\n            ],\n            [\n              130,\n              34\n            ],\n            [\n              130,\n              31.5\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"44","issue":"17","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-09-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59f1a2a4e4b0220bbd9d9f42","contributors":{"authors":[{"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":713140,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kobayashi, Tomokazu","contributorId":197291,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kobayashi","given":"Tomokazu","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713141,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Yarai, Hiroshi","contributorId":197292,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Yarai","given":"Hiroshi","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713142,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Shibazaki, Bunichiro","contributorId":197293,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Shibazaki","given":"Bunichiro","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713143,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Matsumoto, Takumi","contributorId":197294,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Matsumoto","given":"Takumi","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":713144,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Diel variation in relation to naïve occupancy, detection rates, and vocalization rates of King (Rallus elegans) and Clapper (R. crepitans) rails were studied in intracoastal waterways in Virginia, USA. Autonomous acoustic devices recorded vocalizations of King and Clapper rails at 75 locations for 48-hr periods within a marsh complex. Naïve King and Clapper rail occupancy did not vary hourly at either the marsh or the study area level. Combined King and Clapper rail detections and vocalizations varied across marshes, decreased as the sampling season progressed, and, for detections, was greatest during low rising tides (P < 0.01). Hourly variation in vocalization and detection rates did not show a pattern but occurred between 7.8% of pairwise comparisons for detections and 10.5% of pairwise comparisons for vocalizations (P < 0.01).

Combined with related phenomena, that is, warm conveyor belts (WCBs) and tropical moisture exports (TMEs), the frequency, position, and strength of ARs determine the occurrence of floods, droughts, and water resources in many parts of the world. A conference at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, recently gathered over 100 experts in atmospheric, hydrologic, oceanic, and polar science; ecology; water management; and civil engineering to assess the state of AR science and to explore the need for new information. This first International Atmospheric Rivers Conference (IARC) allowed for much needed introductions and interactions across fields and regions, for example, participants came from five continents, and studies covered ARs in six continents and Greenland (Fig. 1b). IARC also fostered discussions of the status and future of AR science, and attendees strongly supported the idea of holding another IARC at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the summer of 2018.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Meteorological Society","doi":"10.1175/BAMS-D-16-0262.1","usgsCitation":"Ralph, F.M., Dettinger, M.D., Lavers, D.A., Gorodetskaya, I., Martin, A., Viale, M., White, A., Oakley, N.S., Rutz, J.J., Spackman, J.R., Wernli, H., and Cordeira, J.M., 2017, Atmospheric rivers emerge as a global science and applications focus: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, v. 98, p. 1969-1973, https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-16-0262.1.","productDescription":"5 p.","startPage":"1969","endPage":"1973","ipdsId":"IP-079803","costCenters":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":461417,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1175/bams-d-16-0262.1","text":"External Repository"},{"id":348280,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"98","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a07e88be4b09af898c8cb85","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ralph, F.

The model is applied to the ~470-km long coast of the Southern California Bight, USA, using recently available projected nearshore waves and bluff recession and shoreline change rates. The results indicate that eroded cliff material, from unarmored cliffs, contribute 11% to 26% to the total sediment budget. Historical beach nourishment rates will need to increase by more than 30% for a 0.25 m sea level rise (~2044) and by at least 75% by the year 2100 for a 1 m sea level rise, if evolution of the shoreline is to keep pace with rising sea levels. </p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings Coastal Dynamics 2017","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"Coastal Dynamics 2017","conferenceDate":"June 12-16, 2017","language":"English","publisher":"Coastal Dynamics 2017","publisherLocation":"Helsingør, Denmark","usgsCitation":"Erikson, L.H., O'Neill, A., Barnard, P., Vitousek, S., and Limber, P.W., 2017, Climate change-driven cliff and beach evolution at decadal to centennial time scales, <i>in</i> Proceedings Coastal Dynamics 2017, June 12-16, 2017, p. 125-136.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"125","endPage":"136","ipdsId":"IP-086484","costCenters":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":346358,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":346296,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://coastaldynamics2017.dk/proceedings.html"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59d4a1a6e4b05fe04cc4e0ed","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Erikson, Li H. 0000-0002-8607-7695 lerikson@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8607-7695","contributorId":149963,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Erikson","given":"Li","email":"lerikson@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":711628,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"O'Neill, Andrea C. 0000-0003-1656-4372 aoneill@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1656-4372","contributorId":5351,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"O'Neill","given":"Andrea C.","email":"aoneill@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":711629,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Barnard, Patrick L. 0000-0003-1414-6476 pbarnard@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1414-6476","contributorId":147147,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Barnard","given":"Patrick L.","email":"pbarnard@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":711630,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Vitousek, Sean","contributorId":190192,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Vitousek","given":"Sean","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":711631,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Limber, Patrick W. 0000-0002-8207-3750 plimber@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8207-3750","contributorId":196794,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Limber","given":"Patrick","email":"plimber@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":711632,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Recent decades have seen an explosion in the quality and quantity of volcano geodetic data. New datasets (some made possible by regional and global scientific initiatives), as well as new analysis methods and modeling practices, have resulted in important changes to our understanding of the geodetic characteristics of active volcanism and magmatic processes, from the scale of individual eruptive vents to global compilations of volcano deformation. Here, we describe some of the recent developments in volcano geodesy, both in terms of data and interpretive tools, and discuss the role of international initiatives in meeting future challenges for the field.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2017.08.006","usgsCitation":"Fernandez, J.F., Pepe, A., Poland, M.P., and Sigmundsson, F., 2017, Volcano Geodesy: Recent developments and future challenges: Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, v. 344, p. 1-12, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2017.08.006.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"12","ipdsId":"IP-088542","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":352788,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"344","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afee804e4b0da30c1bfc3ca","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fernandez, Jose F.","contributorId":189977,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fernandez","given":"Jose","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":731739,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Pepe, Antonio","contributorId":203540,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Pepe","given":"Antonio","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36648,"text":"IREA-CNR","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":731740,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Poland, Michael P. 0000-0001-5240-6123 mpoland@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5240-6123","contributorId":146118,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Poland","given":"Michael","email":"mpoland@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":731738,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Sigmundsson, Freysteinn","contributorId":203541,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sigmundsson","given":"Freysteinn","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36649,"text":"University of Iceland","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":731741,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

Seagrasses are in decline globally, and monitoring changes in their growth and extent is increasingly valuable to determine impacts from large-scale estuarine restoration and inform blue carbon mapping initiatives. Thus, we examined the efficacy of two remote sensing mapping methods with high-resolution (0.5 m pixel size) color near infrared imagery with ground validation to assess change following major tidal marsh restoration. Automated classification of false color aerial imagery and digitized polygons documented a slight decline in eelgrass area directly after restoration followed by an increase two years later. Classification of sparse and low to medium density eelgrass was confounded in areas with algal cover, however large dense patches of eelgrass were well delineated. Automated classification of aerial imagery from unsupervised and supervised methods provided reasonable accuracies of 73% and hand-digitizing polygons from the same imagery yielded similar results. Visual clues for hand digitizing from the high-resolution imagery provided as reliable a map of dense eelgrass extent as automated image classification. We found that automated classification had no advantages over manual digitization particularly because of the limitations of detecting eelgrass with only three bands of imagery and near infrared.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Northwest Scientific Association","doi":"10.3955/046.091.0307","usgsCitation":"Davenport, A.E., Davis, J.D., Woo, I., Grossman, E.E., Barham, J.B., Ellings, C.S., and Takekawa, J.Y., 2017, Comparing automated classification and digitization approaches to detect change in eelgrass bed extent during restoration of a large river delta: Northwest Science, v. 91, no. 3, p. 272-282, https://doi.org/10.3955/046.091.0307.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"272","endPage":"282","ipdsId":"IP-075396","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":345974,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Washington","otherGeospatial":"Nisqually Delta, Puget Sound","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -122.73685455322266,\n              47.07690269678769\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.67866134643553,\n              47.07690269678769\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.67866134643553,\n              47.1075227853425\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.73685455322266,\n              47.1075227853425\n            ],\n            [\n              -122.73685455322266,\n              47.07690269678769\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"91","issue":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"59c37e3be4b091459a6316ff","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Davenport, Anna Elizabeth","contributorId":196608,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Davenport","given":"Anna","email":"","middleInitial":"Elizabeth","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":710912,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Davis, Jerry D.","contributorId":196609,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Davis","given":"Jerry","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":710913,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Woo, Isa 0000-0002-8447-9236 iwoo@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8447-9236","contributorId":2524,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Woo","given":"Isa","email":"iwoo@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":710911,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Grossman, Eric E. 0000-0003-0269-6307 egrossman@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0269-6307","contributorId":196610,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grossman","given":"Eric","email":"egrossman@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":186,"text":"Coastal and Marine Geology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":710914,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Barham, Jesse B.","contributorId":149342,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Barham","given":"Jesse","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":17710,"text":"Nisqually NWR, USFWS, Olympia, WA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":710915,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Ellings, Christopher S.","contributorId":149343,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ellings","given":"Christopher","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":17711,"text":"Dep't Natural Resources, Nisqually Indian Tribe, Olympia, WA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":710916,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Takekawa, John Y. 0000-0003-0217-5907 john_takekawa@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0217-5907","contributorId":196611,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Takekawa","given":"John","email":"john_takekawa@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"Y.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":710917,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

CyanoHABs are a particular concern in both recreational waters and drinking water sources because of their dense biomass and the risk of exposure to toxins. Successful cyanoHAB assessment using satellites may provide an indicator for human and ecological health protection. In this study, methods were developed to assess the utility of satellite technology for detecting cyanoHAB frequency of occurrence at locations of potential management interest. The European Space Agency's MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) was evaluated to prepare for the equivalent series of Sentinel-3 Ocean and Land Colour Imagers (OLCI) launched in 2016 as part of the Copernicus program.

We investigated the utility of an acoustic recorder for monitoring abundance of tundra‐breeding birds relative to point‐count surveys in northwestern Alaska, USA, during 2014. Our objectives were to 1) compare numbers of birds and species detected by a field observer with those detected simultaneously by an acoustic recorder; 2) evaluate how detection probabilities for the observer and acoustic recorder varied with distance of birds from the survey point; and 3) evaluate whether avian guild‐specific detection rates differed between field observers and acoustic recorders relative to habitat. Compared with the observer, the acoustic recorder detected fewer species (β</span><sub>Method</sub><span> = −0.39 ± 0.07) and fewer individuals (β</span><sub>Method</sub><span> = −0.56 ± 0.05) in total and for 6 avian guilds. Discrepancies were attributed primarily to differences in effective area surveyed (91% missed by device were &gt;100 m), but also to nonvocal birds being missed by the recorder (55% missed &lt;100 m were silent). The observer missed a few individuals and one species detected by the device.

At the second and third dams in the river, a 91-cm salmon was 21%–27% and 12%–16% less likely to pass than a 45-cm salmon, respectively. Fish size positively influences egg survival and number and is a heritable trait. Therefore, in a wild-reproducing population, exclusion of large fish from spawning areas may have population-level impacts. In the Penobscot River, most returning adults derive from a hatchery program that collects its broodstock after passing the first dam in the river. Analysis of fork lengths of salmon returning to the Penobscot River from 1978 to 2012 provided mixed support for evolution of size at maturity in different age classes in a pattern that may be expected from interactions with conservation hatchery operations. Additionally, slow-maturing and iteroparous individuals that represent the largest salmon size classes were essentially lost from the population during that time, and Penobscot River fish have shorter fork lengths at maturity than Atlantic salmon in undammed systems.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/rra.3155","usgsCitation":"Maynard, G.A., Kinnison, M., and Zydlewski, J.D., 2017, Size selection from fishways and potential evolutionary responses in a threatened Atlantic salmon population: River Research and Applications, v. 33, no. 7, p. 1004-1015, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3155.","productDescription":"12 p.","startPage":"1004","endPage":"1015","ipdsId":"IP-072943","costCenters":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":348840,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Maine","otherGeospatial":"Penobscot River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -69.3292236328125,\n              44.77013681219717\n            ],\n            [\n              -68.3184814453125,\n              44.77013681219717\n            ],\n            [\n              -68.3184814453125,\n              45.596743928454124\n            ],\n            [\n              -69.3292236328125,\n              45.596743928454124\n            ],\n            [\n              -69.3292236328125,\n              44.77013681219717\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"33","issue":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":9,"text":"Reston PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2017-05-18","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a60fb5ce4b06e28e9c22fc2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Maynard, George A.","contributorId":189242,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Maynard","given":"George","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722049,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Kinnison, M.T.","contributorId":85410,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kinnison","given":"M.T.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":722050,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Zydlewski, Joseph D. 0000-0002-2255-2303 jzydlewski@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2255-2303","contributorId":2004,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zydlewski","given":"Joseph","email":"jzydlewski@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":365,"text":"Leetown Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":719277,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The extraction fluid leached additional Al and Si from the method-prescribed borosilicate glass vessels which appeared to suppress the release of Cr(VI). Use of polytetrafluoroethylene vessels and intensive grinding of NIST 2701 increased the amount of Cr(VI) extracted. These modifications, combined with an increased extraction fluid to sample ratio of ≥900 mL g<sup>–1</sup> and 48-h extraction time resulted in a maximum release of 1274 ± 7 mg kg<sup>–1</sup> Cr(VI).

While the collection of telemetry data for individual animals has improved dramatically, the methods to properly account for inherent uncertainties (e.g., measurement error, dependence, barriers to movement) have lagged behind. Still, many new statistical approaches have been developed to infer unknown quantities affecting animal movement or predict movement based on telemetry data. Hierarchical statistical models are useful to account for some of the aforementioned uncertainties, as well as provide population-level inference, but they often come with an increased computational burden. For certain types of statistical models, it is straightforward to provide inference if the latent true animal trajectory is known, but challenging otherwise. In these cases, approaches related to multiple imputation have been employed to account for the uncertainty associated with our knowledge of the latent trajectory. Despite the increasing use of imputation approaches for modeling animal movement, the general sensitivity and accuracy of these methods have not been explored in detail. We provide an introduction to animal movement modeling and describe how imputation approaches may be helpful for certain types of models. We also assess the performance of imputation approaches in two simulation studies. Our simulation studies suggests that inference for model parameters directly related to the location of an individual may be more accurate than inference for parameters associated with higher-order processes such as velocity or acceleration. Finally, we apply these methods to analyze a telemetry data set involving northern fur seals (</span><i class=\"EmphasisTypeItalic \">Callorhinus ursinus</i><span>) in the Bering Sea.
