The U.S. Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat) database includes inland recreational fisheries survey data across the United States to facilitate large-scale analyses. However, because survey methods differ, a statistical method capable of integrating these surveys is necessary to assess patterns and relationships across regions. Here, we developed a hierarchical generalized linear mixed modeling approach to estimate the relationship between daily recreational fisheries catch and effort based on waterbody, socio-economic, and ecological covariates. We applied this approach to CreelCat data on lentic waterbodies and found that recreational fisheries catch and effort were non-linearly related (i.e., catch per unit of effort declined as effort increased), where effort varied regionally and by waterbody area, median county age, and distance to nearest primary road. This modeling approach could be used to inform data-poor regions or waterbodies, make comparisons across spatial scales, and, with the inclusion of socio-economic and ecological factors, inform management techniques in an era of shifting demographics and landscapes.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/fme.12650","usgsCitation":"Robertson, M., Midway, S.R., Embke, H.S., Kaz, A., Lang, M., Paukert, C.P., Sievert, N., Wszola, L.S., and Lynch, A., 2024, Estimating lentic recreational fisheries catch and effort across the United States: Fisheries Management and Ecology, v. 31, no. 1, e12650, https://doi.org/10.1111/fme.12650.","productDescription":"e12650","ipdsId":"IP-146251","costCenters":[{"id":36940,"text":"National Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":441230,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/fme.12650","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":424373,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"31","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Robertson, Matthew","contributorId":331427,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Robertson","given":"Matthew","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":26965,"text":"Memorial University of Newfoundland","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":892063,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Midway, Stephen R. 0000-0003-0162-1995","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0162-1995","contributorId":261377,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Midway","given":"Stephen","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":5115,"text":"Louisiana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":892064,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Embke, Holly Susan 0000-0002-9897-7068","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9897-7068","contributorId":270754,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Embke","given":"Holly","email":"","middleInitial":"Susan","affiliations":[{"id":36940,"text":"National Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":892065,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Kaz, Anna","contributorId":331426,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kaz","given":"Anna","affiliations":[{"id":5115,"text":"Louisiana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":892066,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lang, Mitchel","contributorId":302726,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lang","given":"Mitchel","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":25492,"text":"University of Virginia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":892067,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Paukert, Craig P. 0000-0002-9369-8545","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9369-8545","contributorId":245524,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Paukert","given":"Craig","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":892068,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Sievert, Nicholas A. 0000-0003-3160-7596","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3160-7596","contributorId":177341,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sievert","given":"Nicholas A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":892069,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Wszola, Lyndsie S.","contributorId":205135,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wszola","given":"Lyndsie","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":37031,"text":"Nebraska Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":892070,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8},{"text":"Lynch, Abigail J. 0000-0001-8449-8392","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8449-8392","contributorId":207361,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lynch","given":"Abigail","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":411,"text":"National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":892071,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":9}]}}

The Brak River Formation, the middle sand-rich unit of the Zerrissene Group, consists of nearly 600 m of strata exposed in multiple parallel continuous outcrops up to&nbsp;</span><i>ca</i><span>&nbsp;10 km in length and oriented obliquely to depositional dip.

Six sedimentary facies are identified and grouped into four facies associations that represent axial-to-marginal portions of deep-water lobes in an unconfined submarine fan system. Spatial facies patterns, regional thickness variations, and palaeocurrents indicate that Brak River Formation sediments were transported primarily from the north to south–south-west through a trough-like basin, and deposited within an unconfined basin plain at the junction of the Adamastor and Khomas oceans. The unique outcrop exposure and extent permits the documentation of system-scale architecture and basin configuration of the Brak River submarine fan system. A transition from the sand-rich lower Brak River Formation to more intercalated mudstone-dominated intervals in the middle and upper Brak River Formation is interpreted to record a change from aggradational to compensational stacking of lobe deposits. This records the evolution of a large submarine fan as it filled the subtle seafloor topography and became less confined at the system-scale. The documentation of these deep-water deposits from centimetre-scale to basin-scale provides a new model for a system with extensive long-distance transport of sand-rich sediment gravity flows to submarine lobes without apparent channelization.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/sed.13129","usgsCitation":"Nieminski, N.M., McHargue, T., Gooley, J.T., Fildani, A., and Lowe, D.R., 2024, Spatial distribution and variability of lobe facies in a large sand-rich submarine fan system: Neoproterozoic Zerrissene Group, Namibia: Sedimentology, v. 71, no. 1, p. 81-115, https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.13129.","productDescription":"35 p.","startPage":"81","endPage":"115","ipdsId":"IP-134081","costCenters":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":441232,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.13129","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":422228,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Nambia","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              13.149641654100066,\n              -20.46530656931472\n            ],\n            [\n              13.149641654100066,\n              -22.12350444593342\n            ],\n            [\n              15.775374075974895,\n              -22.12350444593342\n            ],\n            [\n              15.775374075974895,\n              -20.46530656931472\n            ],\n            [\n              13.149641654100066,\n              -20.46530656931472\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"71","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Nieminski, Nora Maria 0000-0002-4465-8731","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4465-8731","contributorId":279764,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Nieminski","given":"Nora","email":"","middleInitial":"Maria","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":887111,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"McHargue, Tim","contributorId":222430,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McHargue","given":"Tim","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":887112,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gooley, Jared T. 0000-0001-5620-3702","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5620-3702","contributorId":248710,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gooley","given":"Jared","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":49175,"text":"Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":887113,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Fildani, Andrea","contributorId":204134,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fildani","given":"Andrea","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36863,"text":"Statoil","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":887114,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Lowe, Donald R","contributorId":331256,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lowe","given":"Donald","email":"","middleInitial":"R","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":887115,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Efficiently characterizing flooding dynamics can be challenging, especially over geographically broad areas or at spatial and temporal scales relevant for ecosystem management activities. Here, we empirically evaluated a low-complexity geospatial model of floodplain inundation in six study segments of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) by pairing spatially extensive, temporally limited and spatially limited, temporally extensive sampling designs. We found little evidence of systematic bias in model performance although discrepancies between model predictions and empirical data did occur locally. Assessments of model predictions revealed low segment-wide discrepancies of wetted extent under contrasting flow conditions and agreement for inundation event detection and duration.

Leaf temperature is both a driver and a responsive indicator of plant physiological response to thermal stress, and methods to monitor it are needed. Foliar temperatures vary across leaf to canopy scales and are influenced by genetic factors, challenging efforts to map and model this critical variable. Thermal imagery collected using unoccupied aerial systems (UAS) offers an innovative way to measure thermal variation in plants across landscapes at leaf-level resolutions. We used a UAS equipped with a thermal camera to assess temperature variation among genetically distinct populations of big sagebrush (</span><i>Artemisia tridentata</i><span>), a keystone plant species that is the focus of intensive restoration efforts throughout much of western North America. We completed flights across a growing season in a sagebrush common garden to map leaf temperature relative to subspecies and cytotype, physiological phenotypes of plants, and summer heat stress. Our objectives were to (1) determine whether leaf-level stomatal conductance corresponds with changes in crown temperature; (2) quantify genetic (i.e., subspecies and cytotype) contributions to variation in leaf and crown temperatures; and (3) identify how crown structure, solar radiation, and subspecies-cytotype relate to leaf-level temperature. When considered across the whole season, stomatal conductance was negatively, non-linearly correlated with crown-level temperature derived from UAS. Subspecies identity best explained crown-level temperature with no difference observed between cytotypes. However, structural phenotypes and microclimate best explained leaf-level temperature. These results show how fine-scale thermal mapping can decouple the contribution of genetic, phenotypic, and microclimate factors on leaf temperature dynamics. As climate-change-induced heat stress becomes prevalent, thermal UAS represents a promising way to track plant phenotypes that emerge from gene-by-environment interactions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Zoological Society of London","doi":"10.1002/rse2.359","usgsCitation":"Olsoy, P.J., Zaiats, A., Delparte, D.M., Germino, M., Richardson, B.,

In recent decades, modern climate change has amplified these pressures. Climate change is occurring more rapidly in grasslands relative to some other ecosystems, and exposure to extreme and novel climate conditions may affect grassland bird ecology and demographics. To understand the potential effects of weather and climate variability on grassland birds, we systematically reviewed published empirical relationships between temperature and precipitation and demographic responses in grassland bird species of North America. We used a vote-counting approach to quantify the frequency and direction of significant effects of weather and climate variability on grassland birds. We found that grassland birds were likely to experience both positive and negative effects of higher temperatures and altered precipitation, with moderate, sustained increases in mean temperature and precipitation potentially benefiting some species, but extreme heat, drought, and heavy rainfall often reducing abundance and nest success. These patterns varied among climate regions, temporal scales of temperature and precipitation (&lt; 1 month or ≥ 1 month), and taxa. The sensitivity of grassland bird populations to extreme weather and altered climate variability will likely be mediated by regional climates, interaction with other stressors, life history strategies of various species, and species’ tolerances for novel climate conditions.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/cobi.14143","usgsCitation":"Maresh Nelson, S., Ribic, C., Niemuth, N.D., Bernath-Plaisted, J., and Zuckerberg, B., 2024, Sensitivity of North American grassland birds to weather and climate variability: Conservation Biology, v. 38, no. 1, e14143, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14143.","productDescription":"e14143, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-155942","costCenters":[{"id":36940,"text":"National Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":441250,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14143","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":421062,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"38","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Maresh Nelson, Scott 0000-0003-4064-3935","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4064-3935","contributorId":330003,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Maresh Nelson","given":"Scott","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16925,"text":"University of Wisconsin-Madison","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":883843,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ribic, Christine 0000-0003-2583-1778","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2583-1778","contributorId":330005,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ribic","given":"Christine","affiliations":[{"id":34113,"text":"University of Wisconsin Madison","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":883844,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Niemuth, Neal D. 0009-0006-9637-5588","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0006-9637-5588","contributorId":204334,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Niemuth","given":"Neal","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":36919,"text":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Habitat and Population Evaluation Team","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":883845,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bernath-Plaisted, Jacy 0000-0003-4645-8132","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4645-8132","contributorId":330007,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bernath-Plaisted","given":"Jacy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":16925,"text":"University of Wisconsin-Madison","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":883846,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Zuckerberg, Benjamin","contributorId":329861,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zuckerberg","given":"Benjamin","affiliations":[{"id":16925,"text":"University of Wisconsin-Madison","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":883847,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Pollination is one example of an important ecosystem service; pollinators play a critical role in any functioning terrestrial ecosystem. Other studies have suggested that consideration of pollinators' ecosystem services could lead to better remediation and restoration outcomes. However, the associated relationships can be complex, and evaluation requires synthesis from numerous disciplines. In this article, we discuss the possibilities for considering pollinators and their ecosystem services when planning remediation and restoration of contaminated lands. To inform the discussion, we introduce a general conceptual model of how pollinators and the ecosystem services associated with them could be affected by contamination in the environment. We review the literature on the conceptual model components, including contaminant effects on pollinators and the direct and indirect ecosystem services provided by pollinators, and identify information gaps. Though increased public interest in pollinators likely reflects increasing recognition of their role in providing many important ecosystem services, our review indicates that many gaps in understanding—about relevant natural and social systems—currently impede the rigorous quantification and evaluation of pollinators' ecosystem services required for many applications, such as in the context of natural resource damage assessment. Notable gaps include information on non-honeybee pollinators and on ecosystem services beyond those benefitting the agricultural sector. We then discuss potential research priorities and implications for practitioners. Focused research attention on the areas highlighted in this review holds promise for increasing the possibilities for considering pollinators' ecosystem services in the remediation and restoration of contaminated lands.<span id=\"_mce_caret\" data-mce-bogus=\"1\" data-mce-type=\"format-caret\"><span></span></span></p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1002/ieam.4808","usgsCitation":"Meldrum, J., Larson, D., Hoelzle, T.B., and Hinck, J.E., 2024, Considering pollinators' ecosystem services in the remediation and restoration of contaminated lands: Overview of research and its gaps: Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, v. 20, no. 2, p. 322-336, https://doi.org/10.1002/ieam.4808.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"322","endPage":"336","ipdsId":"IP-133323","costCenters":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":441253,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ieam.4808","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":425979,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"20","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Meldrum, James R. 0000-0001-5250-3759 jmeldrum@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5250-3759","contributorId":195484,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Meldrum","given":"James","email":"jmeldrum@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":291,"text":"Fort Collins Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":895363,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Larson, Diane L. 0000-0001-5202-0634","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5202-0634","contributorId":260165,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Larson","given":"Diane L.","affiliations":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":895364,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hoelzle, Timothy B.","contributorId":169849,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hoelzle","given":"Timothy","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":25607,"text":"Great Ecology, 3459 Ringsby Court, Suite 421, Denver, CO","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":895365,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hinck, Jo Ellen 0000-0002-4912-5766 jhinck@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4912-5766","contributorId":2743,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hinck","given":"Jo","email":"jhinck@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"Ellen","affiliations":[{"id":192,"text":"Columbia Environmental Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":895366,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

With agriculture as the leading consumer of water, better understanding how water is used to produce food may help support the increase of Crop Water Productivity (CWP; kg/m<sup>3</sup>), the ratio of crop output per unit of water input (or crop per drop). Previous large-scale CWP studies have been useful for broad water use modeling at coarser resolutions. However, obtaining more precise CWP, especially for specific crop types in a particular area and growing season as outlined here are important for informing farm-scale water management decision making. Therefore, this study focused on California’s Central Valley utilizing high-spatial resolution satellite imagery of 30 m (0.09 hectares per pixel) to generate more precise CWP for commonly grown and water-intensive irrigated crops. First, two products were modeled and mapped. 1. Landsat based Actual Evapotranspiration (ET<sub>a</sub>; mm/d) to determine Crop Water Use (CWU; m<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>2</sup>), and 2. Crop Productivity (CP; kg/m<sup>2</sup>) to estimate crop yield per growing season. Then, CWP was calculated by dividing CP by CWU and mapped. The amount of water that can be saved by increasing CWP of each crop was further calculated. For example, in the 434 million m<sup>2</sup><span>&nbsp;</span>study area, a 10% increase in CWP across the 9 crops analyzed had a potential water savings of 31.5 million m<sup>3</sup><span>&nbsp;</span>of water. An increase in CWP is widely considered the best approach for saving maximum quantities of water. This paper proposed, developed, and implemented a workflow of combined methods utilizing cloud computing based remote sensing data. The environmental implications of this work in assessing water savings for food and water security in the 21st century are expected to be significant.</div><div id=\"html-keywords\"><br></div>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/rs15194894","usgsCitation":"Foley, D., Thenkabail, P., Oliphant, A., Aneece, I.P., and Pardhasaradhi Teluguntla, 2024, Crop water productivity from cloud-Based landsat helps assess California’s water savings: Remote Sensing, v. 15, no. 29, 4894, 23 p., https://doi.org/10.3390/rs15194894.","productDescription":"4894, 23 p.","ipdsId":"IP-142272","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":441256,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/rs15194894","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":435105,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P9OICUG4","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Crop Specific Landsat Derived Reference Evapotranspiration, Evaporative Fraction, and Actual Evapotranspiration for 2016 in the California Central Valley"},{"id":424415,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -121.63153478716757,\n              37.539876990908354\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.63153478716757,\n              35.312529167400044\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.57782384966774,\n              35.312529167400044\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.57782384966774,\n              37.539876990908354\n            ],\n            [\n              -121.63153478716757,\n              37.539876990908354\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"15","issue":"29","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Foley, Daniel 0000-0002-2051-6325","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2051-6325","contributorId":208266,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Foley","given":"Daniel","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":892391,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Thenkabail, Prasad 0000-0002-2182-8822","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2182-8822","contributorId":220239,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thenkabail","given":"Prasad","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":892392,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Oliphant, Adam 0000-0001-8622-7932 aoliphant@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8622-7932","contributorId":192325,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Oliphant","given":"Adam","email":"aoliphant@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":892393,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Aneece, Itiya P. 0000-0002-1201-5459","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1201-5459","contributorId":208265,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Aneece","given":"Itiya","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":892394,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Pardhasaradhi Teluguntla 0000-0001-8060-9841","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8060-9841","contributorId":214457,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Pardhasaradhi Teluguntla","affiliations":[{"id":39046,"text":"Bay Area Environmental Research Institute at USGS","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":892395,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

While survival, growth, and reproductive endpoints derived from whole animal toxicity tests are central to hazard assessment, non-standard measures of biological effects at multiple levels of biological organization (e.g., molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organism, population, community, ecosystem) have potential to enhance the relevance of prospective and retrospective wildlife ERAs. Other factors (e.g., indirect effects of contaminants on food supplies and infectious disease processes) are influenced by toxicants at individual, population, and community levels, and need to be factored into chemically-based risk assessments to enhance the “eco” component of ERAs. Regulatory and logistical challenges often relegate such non-standard endpoints and indirect effects to post-registration evaluations of pesticides and industrial chemicals, and contaminated site evaluations. While NAMs are being developed, to date their applications in ERAs focused on wildlife have been limited. No single magic tool or model will address all uncertainties in hazard assessment. Modernizing wildlife ERAs will likely entail combinations of laboratory and field-derived data at multiple levels of biological organization, knowledge collection solutions (e.g., systematic review, adverse outcome pathway frameworks), and inferential methods that facilitate integrations and risk estimations focused on species, populations, interspecific extrapolations, and ecosystem services modeling, with less dependence on whole animal data and simple hazard ratios.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Society of Environmental Toxicology and

We used generalized linear mixed models to test the importance of phenotype on geographic distribution. Using kernel density estimations, we located use areas, quantified spatial overlap between forms, and assessed form-specific exposure to marine threats. Petrels were tracked for 11 to 255 d&nbsp;</span><i>(</i><span>mean ± SD: 102.1 ± 74.2 d). During the non-breeding period, all individuals ranged from 28.4 to 43.0° latitude. Phenotypes had significantly distinct non-breeding distributions, independent of time of year. The dark form used waters of the Carolinian marine ecoregion, and the light form used pelagic waters of the Virginian ecoregion, to the north. The dark form was more exposed to marine threats than the light form, in particular to mercury, microplastics, and marine traffic. The light form overlapped with proposed wind energy areas off the central US coast. These differences in exposure suggest possible differences in vulnerability, which can have repercussions on the viability of this imperiled species.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Inter-Research Science Publisher","doi":"10.1101/2022.06.02.491532","usgsCitation":"Satgé, Y., Keitt, B., Gaskin, C., Patteson, J., and Jodice, P.G., 2024, Spatial segregation between phenotypes of the diablotin black-capped petrel Pterodroma hasitata during the non-breeding period: Endangered Species Research, v. 51, p. 183-201, https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.06.02.491532.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"183","endPage":"201","ipdsId":"IP-140054","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":467058,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.06.02.491532","text":"External Repository"},{"id":465532,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"North Carolina","otherGeospatial":"Atlantic Ocean, Cape Hatteras, Gulf Stream","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -75.8923537451853,\n              35.443875566777706\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.8923537451853,\n              30.989743965000244\n            ],\n            [\n              -71.14475202578238,\n              30.989743965000244\n            ],\n            [\n              -71.14475202578238,\n              35.443875566777706\n            ],\n            [\n              -75.8923537451853,\n              35.443875566777706\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"51","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Satgé, Yvan G.","contributorId":341479,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Satgé","given":"Yvan G.","affiliations":[{"id":81653,"text":"South Carolina Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908484,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Keitt, Brad","contributorId":341480,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Keitt","given":"Brad","affiliations":[{"id":7084,"text":"Clemson University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908485,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gaskin, Chris","contributorId":341481,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gaskin","given":"Chris","affiliations":[{"id":81744,"text":"Northern New Zealand Seabird Trust","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908486,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Patteson, J.

Unfortunately, these estimates are not readily available in most areas due to physical, regulatory, and social challenges. Here, we compare four different approaches for estimating groundwater withdrawals for agricultural irrigation. We apply these methods in a groundwater-irrigated region in the state of Kansas, USA, where high-quality groundwater withdrawal data are available for evaluation. The four methods represent a broad spectrum of approaches: (1) the hydrologically-based Water Table Fluctuation method (WTFM); (2) the demand-based SALUS crop model; (3) estimates based on satellite-derived evapotranspiration (ET) data from OpenET; and (4) a landscape hydrology model which integrates hydrologic- and demand-based approaches. The applicability of each approach varies based on data availability, spatial and temporal resolution, and accuracy of predictions. In general, our results indicate that all approaches reasonably estimate groundwater withdrawals in our region, however, the type and amount of data required for accurate estimates and the computational requirements vary among approaches. For example, WTFM requires accurate groundwater levels, specific yield, and recharge data, whereas the SALUS crop model requires adequate information about crop type, land use, and weather. This variability highlights the difficulty in identifying what data, and how much, are necessary for a reasonable groundwater withdrawal estimate, and suggests that data availability should drive the choice of approach. Overall, our findings will help practitioners evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches and select the appropriate approach for their application.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"National Groundwater Association","doi":"10.1111/gwat.13336","usgsCitation":"Brookfield, A.E., Zipper, S., Kendall, A., Ajami, H., and Deines, J.M., 2024, Estimating groundwater pumping for irrigation: A method comparison: Groundwater, v. 62, no. 1, p. 15-33, https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13336.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"15","endPage":"33","ipdsId":"IP-180562","costCenters":[{"id":38128,"text":"Science Analytics and Synthesis","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":492078,"rank":2,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13336","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":491893,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Kansas","county":"Sheridan County, Thomas County","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -100.9,\n              39.6\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.9,\n              39.2\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.3,\n              39.2\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.3,\n              39.6\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.9,\n              39.6\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"62","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":true,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Brookfield, Andrea E.","contributorId":202677,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brookfield","given":"Andrea","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":942441,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Zipper, Samuel 0000-0002-8735-5757","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8735-5757","contributorId":225160,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zipper","given":"Samuel","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":41056,"text":"Kansas Geological Survey, University of Kansas, Lawrence KS 66047, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":942442,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Kendall, Anthony D.","contributorId":357745,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kendall","given":"Anthony D.","affiliations":[{"id":6601,"text":"Michigan State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":942443,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Ajami, Hoori 0000-0001-6883-7630","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6883-7630","contributorId":303806,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ajami","given":"Hoori","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36629,"text":"University of California","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":942444,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Deines, Jillian M. 0000-0002-4279-8765","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4279-8765","contributorId":303808,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Deines","given":"Jillian","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":942445,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

There are recognized shortcomings of current&nbsp;</span><i>in vivo</i><span>&nbsp;methods as well as uncertainty around the extent to which species with different life histories (e.g., terrestrial amphibians, reptiles, bats) than these commonly used models are protected by existing ERA frameworks. Approaches other than validating additional animal models for testing are being developed, but incorporation of such new approach methodologies (NAMs) into risk assessment frameworks will require robust validations against&nbsp;</span><i>in vivo</i><span>&nbsp;responses. This takes time, and the ability to extrapolate findings from non-animal studies to organism- and population-level effects in terrestrial wildlife remains weak. Failure to adequately anticipate and predict hazards could have economic and potentially even legal consequences for regulators and product registrants. In order to be able to use fewer animals or replace them altogether in the long-term, vertebrate use and whole organism data will be needed to provide data for NAMs validation in the short term. Therefore, it is worth investing resources for potential updates to existing standard test guidelines used in the laboratory as well as addressing the need for clear guidance on conduct of field studies. Herein we review the potential for improving standard&nbsp;</span><i>in vivo</i><span>&nbsp;test methods and for advancing the use of field studies in wildlife risk assessment, as these tools will be

FloPy functionality has expanded to support the latest version of MODFLOW (MODFLOW 6) including support for unstructured grids. FloPy can be used to download MODFLOW-based and other executables for Linux, MacOS, and Windows operating systems, which simplifies the process required to download and use these executables. Expanded FloPy capabilities include (1) full support for structured and unstructured spatial discretizations; (2) geoprocessing of spatial features and raster data to develop model input for supported discretization types; (3) the addition of functionality to provide direct access to simulated output data; (4) extension of plotting capabilities to unstructured MODFLOW 6 discretization types; and (5) the ability to export model data to shapefiles, NetCDF, and VTK formats for processing, analysis, and visualization by other software products.

Studies of interior basins within the northern Tibetan Plateau provide new sediment accumulation, provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing data that enable a reconstruction of the far-field tectono-geomorphic evolution of the rising Tibetan Plateau. Along the northern plateau margin, topographic growth in the West Qinling Belt is inferred to have initiated in the Eocene, nearly coeval with the India-Asia collision, as well as in the late Miocene. However, geological knowledge about the intervening period remains at present enigmatic, and the kinematics and dynamics are uncertain. This study presents a multidisciplinary data set from the intermontane Anhua-Huicheng Basin (AHB; Gansu Province, China) to fill this gap. Magnetostratigraphic dating, regional mapping, and sedimentological analysis imply that contractional deformation and thrust-top basin systems formed within the West Qinling Belt in the Oligocene (not later than ca. 24 Ma). A combination of observations including paleocurrent changes, detrital zircon U-Pb age variations, and appearance of growth strata along the Anhua-Huicheng Basin reveal the rapid uplift of the West Qinling Belt at ca. 15 Ma. Sedimentation in the intermontane basins ended after the late Miocene (ca. 8 Ma), when the region experienced intrabasinal deformation, uplift, and erosion with the establishment of an external drainage system. Since the late Miocene, the growth of the West Qinling Belt reached a climax with the lack of substantial contractional deformation in Cenozoic sequences heralding the onset of the modern kinematic regime and attainment of high elevation. Observed transitions in the tectonostratigraphy and paleodrainage define different phases of deformation and plateau-wide shifts in stress reorganization, which led to the northward growth and later lateral expansion of the Tibetan Plateau.</p></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/B36722.1","usgsCitation":"Zhang, Y., Wang, W., Lease, R.O., Zhou,

Riverscape-scale hydrogeomorphic variables were previously used to predict suitable mussel habitat in the Meramec River basin, Missouri. We evaluated transferability of the Meramec River habitat suitability model to the Gasconade and Little Black rivers, in the Ozark Highlands ecoregion, Missouri. The best-fit models relied on transferring and adapting the original modeling framework to better represent the unique habitat characteristics of each river. Mussel bed occurrence in both rivers was associated with reaches that were classified as pools. Mussel beds in the Gasconade River were also associated with laterally stable reaches adjacent to small bluffs, distant from gravel bars, and with higher stream power indices. Mussel beds in the Little Black River were associated with reaches with higher surface water availability during low-flow conditions, lower stream power indices, and bluffs located downstream. Our results show that existing habitat models can be transferred to other streams with similar environmental conditions, but differences in watershed characteristics can affect transferability.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society","doi":"10.31931/fmbc-d-21-00005","usgsCitation":"Hartman, J.H., Rosenberger, A.E., Key, K.N., and Lindner, G.A., 2024, Assessing potential habitat for freshwater mussels by transferring a habitat suitability model within the Ozark Ecoregion, Missouri: Freshwater Mollusk Biology and Conservation, v. 26, no. 1, p. 32-44, https://doi.org/10.31931/fmbc-d-21-00005.","productDescription":"13 p.","startPage":"32","endPage":"44","ipdsId":"IP-128365","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":441286,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.31931/fmbc-d-21-00005","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":433222,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Missouri","otherGeospatial":"Ozark Highlands","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -89.48277091924116,\n              37.56996609191134\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.43622532050725,\n              38.406472750075494\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.85898340408788,\n              38.88418454557933\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.88282529356854,\n              38.3923742230769\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.75689735377867,\n              36.62295716381152\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.08542605966407,\n              36.48567275312169\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.48277091924116,\n              37.56996609191134\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hartman, Jordan H.","contributorId":341437,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hartman","given":"Jordan","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":56209,"text":"Tennessee Tech University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908416,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Rosenberger, Amanda E. 0000-0002-5520-8349 arosenberger@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5520-8349","contributorId":5581,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Rosenberger","given":"Amanda","email":"arosenberger@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":396,"text":"Missouri Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":908417,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Key, Kayla N.","contributorId":206919,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Key","given":"Kayla","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[{"id":13706,"text":"University of Missouri-Columbia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908418,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lindner, Garth A.","contributorId":201828,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lindner","given":"Garth","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":36266,"text":"University of Missouri Cooperative Research Unit","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908419,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

In the Smith River watershed, Montana, rainbow trout were introduced by 1930. Native mountain whitefish and non-native rainbow trout have presumably occurred in sympatry since the introduction of rainbow trout; however, knowledge about how these two species compete with one another for food resources is sparse. We quantified diet compositions of rainbow trout and mountain whitefish in the mainstem Smith River and in a tributary to the Smith River—Sheep Creek—to determine the degree of overlap in the diets of mountain whitefish and rainbow trout in the Smith River and between the mainstem Smith River and a tributary stream. Rainbow trout and mountain whitefish had generalist feeding strategies, which probably contribute to the amicable coexistence of these species. Diet overlap between rainbow trout and mountain whitefish was high (Pianka’s index value = 0.85) in the Smith River and moderate in Sheep Creek (Pianka’s index value = 0.57). Despite overlap in diets, some resource partitioning may alleviate resource competition (e.g., rainbow trout consumed far more Oligochaeta than mountain whitefish but fewer Brachycentridae and Chironomidae). Diet composition of rainbow trout and mountain whitefish did not differ greatly between the Smith River and Sheep Creek. Prey categories most commonly used by mountain whitefish at the population and individual levels (i.e., Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera) are sensitive taxa and many species within these orders have experienced extinctions and population declines. Therefore, future changes in resource availability or competition could be of concern.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"PLoS","doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0280833","usgsCitation":"Cox, T.L., Lance, M., Albertson, L., Briggs, M., Dutton, A.J., and Zale, A.V., 2024, Diet composition and resource overlap of sympatric native and introduced salmonids across neighboring streams during a peak discharge event: PLoS ONE, v. 18, no. 1, e0280833, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0280833.","productDescription":"e0280833, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-140511","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":441297,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0280833","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":429778,"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        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.6705061351432,\n              47.43858839540755\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.6705061351432,\n              46.8636526954179\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.00332112471752,\n              46.8636526954179\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.00332112471752,\n              47.43858839540755\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.6705061351432,\n              47.43858839540755\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"18","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cox, Tanner L.","contributorId":337858,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cox","given":"Tanner","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":36555,"text":"Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":902735,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lance, Michael J.","contributorId":337859,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lance","given":"Michael J.","affiliations":[{"id":36555,"text":"Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":902736,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Albertson, Lindsey K.","contributorId":337860,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Albertson","given":"Lindsey K.","affiliations":[{"id":36555,"text":"Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":902737,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Briggs, Michelle A.","contributorId":337861,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Briggs","given":"Michelle A.","affiliations":[{"id":36555,"text":"Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":902738,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Dutton, Adeline J.","contributorId":337862,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dutton","given":"Adeline","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":36555,"text":"Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":902739,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Zale, Alexander V. 0000-0003-1703-885X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1703-885X","contributorId":244099,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zale","given":"Alexander","email":"","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":902740,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

Recent studies have documented the benefits of re-introducing fire to grasslands, but work has largely focused on small-scale, low-intensity fire, often at a pasture scale (i.e., prescribed fire). Over the last 30–40 years, the size and frequency of wildfires in the Great Plains has increased due to long-term fire suppression, woody encroachment, and&nbsp;climate change, resulting in megafires (wildfire &gt;40,000&nbsp;ha). While there is a wealth of information regarding effects of prescribed fire on Great Plains grasslands, knowledge of how large megafire events affect modern, fragmented working grasslands (i.e., grazed grasslands) is lacking and needed in the face of increasing megafire activity. To assess grassland response and recovery following a 2017 megafire (~254,000&nbsp;ha), we compared vegetation characteristics pre- (2014–2015) and post-fire (2018–2019) in the mixed-grass prairie of Kansas, USA. We examined linkages between vegetation characteristics and a metric of burn severity (differenced normalized burn ratio [dNBR]) and evaluated megafire effects on limiting reproductive habitat for a declining grassland species, the lesser prairie-chicken (</span><i>Tympanuchus pallidicinctus</i><span>). One-year post-fire, we documented increased bare ground (+59%) and decreased visual obstruction (−39%), litter depth (−31%), and&nbsp;forb&nbsp;cover (−35%). Decreased visual obstruction and increased bare ground led to an 81% decrease of lesser prairie-chicken nest habitat in the first-year post-fire, but grassland structure, functional group cover, and available nest habitat largely recovered 2.5 years post-fire. Recovery to pre-fire conditions 2.5 years post-fire was primarily due to elevated&nbsp;growing season&nbsp;precipitation received in the years following the fire (&gt;700&nbsp;mm/year). Percent cover of grass (β&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.38) and bare ground (β&nbsp;=&nbsp;−0.36) exhibited the strongest relationships with burn severity pre-fire, but overall grassland structure and functional group cover were not strongly influenced dNBR burn severity post-fire. While our results suggested that recovering grasslands were more homogenous due to the large size of megafire, working grasslands in the mixed-grass prairie appeared largely resilient to the effects of megafire.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.gecco.2022.e02142","usgsCitation":"Parker, N., Sullins, D., Haukos, D.A., Fricke, K., and Hagen, C., 2024, Recovery of working grasslands following a megafire in the southern mixed-grass prairie: Global Ecology and Conservation, v. 36, e02142, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2022.e02142.","productDescription":"e02142, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-136300","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":441313,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2022.e02142","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":433320,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Kansas, Oklahoma","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -99.48507488919212,\n              37.46258659472579\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.30527026898844,\n              37.46258659472579\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.30527026898844,\n              36.83587876246861\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.48507488919212,\n              36.83587876246861\n            ],\n            [\n              -99.48507488919212,\n              37.46258659472579\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"36","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Parker, Nicholas J.","contributorId":341525,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Parker","given":"Nicholas J.","affiliations":[{"id":12661,"text":"Kansas State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908560,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sullins, Daniel S.","contributorId":341526,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sullins","given":"Daniel S.","affiliations":[{"id":12661,"text":"Kansas State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908561,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Haukos, David A. 0000-0001-5372-9960 dhaukos@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5372-9960","contributorId":3664,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Haukos","given":"David","email":"dhaukos@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":908562,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Fricke, Kent A.","contributorId":341527,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fricke","given":"Kent A.","affiliations":[{"id":81167,"text":"Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908563,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Hagen, Christian A.","contributorId":341528,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hagen","given":"Christian A.","affiliations":[{"id":6680,"text":"Oregon State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908564,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Although the distribution and abundance of BCT have declined due to anthropogenic disturbances, production of wild BCT in Bear Lake has increased over the past decade as a result of extensive habitat improvement in spawning tributaries. The objective of this study was to assess the occurrence, distribution, and out-migration of BCT in tributaries of Bear Lake. Surveys were conducted at 75 stream reaches across three study streams (i.e., St. Charles, Fish Haven, and Swan creeks) during 2019 and 2020. A total of 1,064 BCT was sampled from 55 of 75 total reaches (73%). Total length of BCT varied from 22 to 650 mm, and the average TL was 117 mm (SE = 2.2). Regression models were used to identify abiotic and biotic features associated with BCT distribution, abundance, and probability of out-migration. Regardless of the tributary, elevation was negatively related to BCT occurrence and relative abundance. Other habitat characteristics associated with the presence and abundance of BCT were similar to those of other Cutthroat Trout species. For example, BCT were often associated with large substrates, instream cover, canopy cover, and heterogeneity in several habitat characteristics. The probability of a BCT out-migrating was positively associated with fish length and age but negatively related to distance to Bear Lake and number of downstream irrigation diversions. Results from this study provide critical information on the ecology and early life history characteristics of BCT that can be used to guide additional conservation and management efforts (i.e., removal of nonnative fish species; continued habitat restoration efforts).</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","doi":"10.1002/nafm.10754","usgsCitation":"Heller, M., Dillon, J., and Quist, M.C., 2024, Occurrence, abundance, movement, and habitat associations of Bonneville Cutthroat Trout in tributaries to Bear Lake, Idaho-Utah: North American Journal of Fisheries Management, v. 42, no. 3, p. 684-700, https://doi.org/10.1002/nafm.10754.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"684","endPage":"700","ipdsId":"IP-130593","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":430044,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho, Utah","otherGeospatial":"Bear Lake","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.43188970410537,\n              42.20225725843633\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.43188970410537,\n              41.82810660832243\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.2373990493141,\n              41.82810660832243\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.2373990493141,\n              42.20225725843633\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.43188970410537,\n              42.20225725843633\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"42","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2022-02-08","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Heller, Megan","contributorId":338594,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Heller","given":"Megan","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36394,"text":"University of Idaho","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":903380,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dillon, Jeff","contributorId":337718,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dillon","given":"Jeff","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36224,"text":"Idaho Department of Fish and Game","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":903381,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Quist, Michael C. 0000-0001-8268-1839","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8268-1839","contributorId":207142,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Quist","given":"Michael","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":903382,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Little is known about whether present habitat conditions can support all life stages of reintroduced southern Lake Sturgeon populations that were possibly extirpated by the mid-1900s due to overharvest and habitat degradation. Therefore, we conducted a telemetry study to assess annual adult and subadult and overwinter age-0 Lake Sturgeon habitat selection and suitability in two Missouri River U.S. tributaries near the southern edge of the species range. Spring habitat selection models were unable to define spawning habitat criteria, but criteria from other studies suggest that substrate and depths for spawning are suitable in both rivers. In the summer and winter, adult and subadult Lake Sturgeon exhibited strong selection for pools greater than 8&nbsp;m deep, which comprised less than 5% of our study streams. Habitat selection in the fall and winter by age-0 Lake Sturgeon differed from adults with age-0s selecting shallower habitats both rivers and swifter current velocities in the Gasconade River. General habitat patterns persisted for both life stages in each river regardless of habitat availability, suggesting specialized habitat requirements in southern Lake Sturgeon that differ from previously studied populations further north. These results may be used to direct sampling for validation of reproduction and restoration of not only spawning habitats, but age-0 and summer and winter refugia that may be potential restoration bottlenecks for southern Lake Sturgeon populations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/rec.13602","usgsCitation":"Moore, M., Paukert, C.P., Owens, S., and Moore, T., 2024, Habitat selection in a southern Lake Sturgeon population: Implications of temporal, spatial, and ontogenetic variation for restoration: Restoration Ecology, v. 30, no. 7, e13602, 15 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/rec.13602.","productDescription":"e13602, 15 p.","ipdsId":"IP-130802","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":433417,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Missouri","otherGeospatial":"Gasconade River, Osage River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -94.76822559173715,\n              40.12199149318826\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.76822559173715,\n              36.2622290687403\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.55006706959847,\n              36.2622290687403\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.55006706959847,\n              40.12199149318826\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.76822559173715,\n              40.12199149318826\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"30","issue":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Moore, M.J.","contributorId":341714,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Moore","given":"M.J.","affiliations":[{"id":6754,"text":"University of Missouri","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908800,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Paukert, Craig P. 0000-0002-9369-8545","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9369-8545","contributorId":245524,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Paukert","given":"Craig","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":199,"text":"Coop Res Unit Leetown","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":908801,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Owens, S.","contributorId":341715,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Owens","given":"S.","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":81779,"text":"University of Illinois Springfield","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":908802,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Moore, T.","contributorId":257287,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Moore","given":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":908803,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

However, most studies of these deposits focus on specific Holocene intervals and the latest Pleistocene, providing snapshots rather than a full picture. We combine new data with previous work, supplemented by a broad review of the characteristics and ages of potential source regions and volcanoes, to develop the first composite tephrostratigraphic framework covering the last ~14,000 years for this region. We report new cryptotephra records from three ombrotrophic peat bogs—Irwin Smith (Michigan), Bloomingdale (New York), and Sidney Bog (Maine)—as well as new analyses and age models from previously reported sites, Nordan’s Pond Bog (Newfoundland) and Thin-Ice Pond (Nova Scotia). A new tephra (Iliinsky) from the NGRIP and GRIP ice cores is also presented as it can be correlated to new data from these terrestrial records and helps validate radiocarbon age models. We identify 21 new tephra in addition to the 15 already known, several of which cover the entire region – the White River Ash east, Newberry Pumice, Ruppert (NDN230), and Mazama. For the first time we find Mount St. Helens Yn (ca. 3660 cal yr BP) and a set P tephra (~3000–2550 cal yr BP), and confirm the presence of Jala Pumice from Volcan Ceboruco, Mexico, and KS1 from Ksudach volcano, Kamchatka. We describe new “ultra-distal” tephra, including the early Holocene KS<sub>2</sub> eruption, and propose correlations to volcanoes Iliinsky and Shiveluch of Kamchatka, and Ushishir of the Kurile Islands. Not all of these tephra represent large eruptions, with several plausible correlations to sub-Plinian events. Using Bayesian age-modeling, we present new age estimates for the newly described tephra, for tephra with previously poor age control, and for several proximal correlatives. Overall, we demonstrate northeastern North America’s importance for providing transcontinental linkages between paleoenvironmental records and providing insights into ash distribution from different styles and sizes of eruptions.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.quascirev.2021.107242","usgsCitation":"Jensen, B.J., Davies, L.J., Nolan, C.J., Pyne-O’Donnell, S.,

Identification, classification, and interpretation of these deposits are crucial to the understanding of volcanic processes and assessing hazards. However, deposits often cover large areas and can be difficult or dangerous to access, making field mapping dangerous and time-consuming. Remote sensing techniques are often used to map and identify the deposits of volcanic eruptions, though these techniques present their own trade-offs in terms of image resolution, wavelength, and observation frequency. Here, we present a new approach for mapping and classifying volcanic deposits using a multi-sensor unoccupied aerial system (UAS), and demonstrate its application on lava and tephra deposits associated with the 2018 eruption of Sierra Negra volcano (Galápagos Archipelago, Ecuador). We surveyed the study area and collected visible and thermal infrared (TIR) images. We used structure-from-motion photogrammetry to create a digital elevation model (DEM) from the visual images and calculated the solar heating rate of the surface from temperature maps based on the TIR images. We find that the solar heating rate is highest for tephra deposits and lowest for ʻaʻā lava, with pāhoehoe lava having intermediate values. This is consistent with the solar heating rate correlating to the density and particle size of the surface. The solar heating rate for the lava flow also decreases with increasing distance from the vent, consistent with an increase in density as the lava degasses. We combined the surface roughness (calculated from the DEM) and the solar heating rate of the surface to remotely classify tephra deposits and different lava morphologies. We applied both supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms and demonstrate that supervised methods can replicate the manual classification while the unsupervised method can identify major surface units with no ground truth information. These methods allow for remote mapping and classification at high spatial resolution (< 1 meter) of a variety of volcanic deposits, with potential for application to deposits from other processes (e.g., fluvial, glacial) and deposits on other planetary bodies.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.rse.2021.112581","usgsCitation":"Carr, B.B., Lev, E., Sawi, T., Bennett, K.A., Edwards, C., Soule, S.A., Vallejo Vargas, S., and Marliyani, G.I., 2024, Mapping and classification of volcanic deposits using multi-sensor unoccupied aerial systems: Remote Sensing of Environment, v. 264, 112581, 19 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2021.112581.","productDescription":"112581, 19 p.","ipdsId":"IP-120876","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":467061,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2021.112581","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":464592,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Ecuador","otherGeospatial":"Galápagos Archipelago, Sierra Negra volcano","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -91.2511100637289,\n              -0.5953009426430782\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.2511100637289,\n              -0.8970296668221494\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.0263665395592,\n              -0.8970296668221494\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.0263665395592,\n              -0.5953009426430782\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.2511100637289,\n              -0.5953009426430782\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"264","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Carr, Brett B. 0000-0002-1033-3082","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1033-3082","contributorId":305984,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carr","given":"Brett","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":919860,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lev, Einat 0000-0002-8174-0558","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8174-0558","contributorId":194355,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lev","given":"Einat","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":27369,"text":"Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":919861,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Sawi, Theresa","contributorId":346761,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Sawi","given":"Theresa","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":82958,"text":"Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, Palisades, NY","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":919862,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bennett, Kristen A. 0000-0001-8105-7129","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8105-7129","contributorId":237068,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bennett","given":"Kristen","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":131,"text":"Astrogeology Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":919863,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Edwards, Christopher S.","contributorId":206168,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Edwards","given":"Christopher S.","affiliations":[{"id":7202,"text":"NAU","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":919864,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Soule, S.

It is the largest unaltered freshwater body on the 337,000 km<sup>2</sup> Colorado Plateau. Prehistorical (before AD 1878) highstands were ca. 9 and 24 m relative to depocenter datum. These levels likely occurred during four multidecadal episodes of cool, wet conditions between ca. 3.55 and 0.20 ka BP. Maximum historical levels (early 1900s) were up to 7.9 m, whereas modern (post-1941) levels were frequently zero or relatively low. Historical climate records indicate reconstructed lake levels correlate directly with annual precipitation and inversely with temperature. Early highstands were associated with above average precipitation and the lowest temperatures of the 116 yr record. The lake receded after 1941; thereafter, frequent drying and low-water levels resulted from recurrent drought and steadily increasing temperatures. Consequently, a wet episode from the 1970s to the 1990s had precipitation like the early 1900s, but highstands were only ca. 3.8 m. The historical lake-level chronology is consistent with changes of hydrologic balance predicted by climate models, that is, reduced effective precipitation (precipitation minus evaporation). These changes, particularly aridification, apparently began in the 1970s or earlier. Global oceanic and atmospheric climate modulate lake levels and regional hydroclimate.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Cambridge University Press","doi":"10.1017/qua.2020.92","usgsCitation":"Hereford, R., and Amoroso, L., 2024, Historical and prehistorical water levels of Mormon Lake, Arizona as a measure of climate change on the southwest Colorado Plateau, USA: Quaternary Research, v. 100, p. 32-51, https://doi.org/10.1017/qua.2020.92.","productDescription":"20 p.","startPage":"32","endPage":"51","ipdsId":"IP-113940","costCenters":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":464625,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Arizona","otherGeospatial":"Mormon Lake","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -111.48876598336788,\n              34.98966103819039\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.48876598336788,\n              34.906130634842924\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.42028354514014,\n              34.906130634842924\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.42028354514014,\n              34.98966103819039\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.48876598336788,\n              34.98966103819039\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"100","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hereford, Richard 0000-0002-0892-7367 rhereford@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0892-7367","contributorId":3620,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hereford","given":"Richard","email":"rhereford@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":312,"text":"Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":919934,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Amoroso, Lee 0000-0003-1342-7487","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1342-7487","contributorId":346805,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Amoroso","given":"Lee","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":919935,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Those eruptions are informally named the CFE (“crater-forming eruption”), Nateekin, and Driftwood Pumice, and they deposited significant tephra fallout in the present-day port of&nbsp;Dutch Harbor and City of&nbsp;Unalaska area. The focus of this study is to examine the geochemistry and petrology of those eruptions to better understand Makushin volcano hazards, andesite petrogenesis and eruption triggering by mafic recharge processes. The CFE, Nateekin, and Driftwood Pumice samples range from basaltic andesite to dacite but are predominantly andesitic (SiO</span><sub>2</sub><span> = 55.6 to 63.5&nbsp;wt%). The CFE deposits are slightly compositionally stratified, with the top CFE samples slightly more mafic (55 to 60&nbsp;wt%&nbsp;SiO</span><sub>2</sub><span>) than the basal deposits (58 to 60&nbsp;wt% SiO</span><sub>2</sub><span>). Disequilibrium mineral compositions and textures in the CFE, Nateekin, and Driftwood Pumice samples, combined with two pyroxene thermometry and An-rich plagioclase microlites (An</span><sub>80</sub><span>) found only in the top of the CFE deposits, provide evidence for repetitive mafic recharge triggering those eruptions, consistent with prior studies. We compare the Makushin geochemical data with data from select satellite vents and cones in the Makushin Volcanic Field (MVF) from prior studies, to examine possible genetic relationships.

Instead, two component mixing models better fit the MVF geochemical array. Our Makushin results compare well with models of predominantly andesitic volcanoes that require mafic recharge to mobilize the andesites and trigger eruptions.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer Nature","doi":"10.1007/s00445-020-01412-5","usgsCitation":"Larsen, J., Schaefer, J., Vallance, J.W., and Neill, O., 2024, Petrology and geochemistry of three early Holocene eruptions from Makushin volcano, Alaska: Bulletin of Volcanology, v. 82, 72, 17 p., https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-020-01412-5.","productDescription":"72, 17 p.","ipdsId":"IP-120635","costCenters":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":465566,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Makushin volcano, Unalaska Island","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -167.01083004545683,\n              53.926684657654704\n            ],\n            [\n              -167.01083004545683,\n              53.84297653402467\n            ],\n            [\n              -166.85080239678533,\n              53.84297653402467\n            ],\n            [\n              -166.85080239678533,\n              53.926684657654704\n            ],\n            [\n              -167.01083004545683,\n              53.926684657654704\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"82","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Larsen, Jessica 0000-0003-1171-129X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1171-129X","contributorId":242808,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Larsen","given":"Jessica","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6752,"text":"University of Alaska Fairbanks","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":922107,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Schaefer, Janet","contributorId":199547,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Schaefer","given":"Janet","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":922108,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Vallance, James W. 0000-0002-3083-5469 jvallance@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3083-5469","contributorId":547,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Vallance","given":"James","email":"jvallance@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":922109,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Neill, O.K.","contributorId":347659,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Neill","given":"O.K.","affiliations":[{"id":37387,"text":"University of Michigan","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":922110,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}
