Ore genesis constraints on the Idaho Cobalt Belt from fluid inclusion gas, noble gas isotope, and ion ratio analyses
Albert H. Hofstra, Gary P. Landis
2012, Economic Geology (107) 1189-1205
The Idaho cobalt belt is a 60-km-long alignment of deposits composed of cobaltite, Co pyrite, chalcopyrite, and gold with anomalous Nb, Y, Be, and rare-earth elements (REEs) in a quartz-biotite-tourmaline gangue hosted in Mesoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Lemhi Group. It is the largest cobalt resource in the United States...
Mineral resource of the month: aggregates
Jason C. Willett
2012, Earth (57) 25-25
Crushed stone and construction sand and gravel, the two major types of natural aggregates, are among the most abundant and accessible natural resources on the planet. The earliest civilizations used aggregates for various purposes, mainly construction. Today aggregates provide the basic raw materials for the foundation of modern society....
Stable water isotopologue ratios in fog and cloud droplets of liquid clouds are not size-dependent
J.K. Spiegel, F. Aemisegger, M. Scholl, F.G. Wienhold, J.L. Collett Jr., T. Lee, D. van Pinxteren, S. Mertes, A. Tilgner, H. Herrmann, Roland A. Werner, N. Buchmann, W. Eugster
2012, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (12) 9855-9863
In this work, we present the first observations of stable water isotopologue ratios in cloud droplets of different sizes collected simultaneously. We address the question whether the isotope ratio of droplets in a liquid cloud varies as a function of droplet size. Samples were collected from a ground intercepted cloud...

Mineral resource of the month: manganese
Lisa A. Corathers
2012, Earth (57) 23-23
Manganese is a silver-colored metal resembling iron and often found in conjunction with iron. The earliest-known human use of manganese compounds was in the Stone Age, when early humans used manganese dioxide as pigments in cave paintings. In ancient Rome and Egypt, people started using it to color or remove...
The footprint of Alaskan tundra fires during the past half-century: implications for surface properties and radiative forcing
Adrian V. Rocha, Michael M. Loranty, Phil E. Higuera, Michelle C. Mack, Feng Sheng Hu, Benjamin M. Jones, Amy L. Breen, Edward B. Rastetter, Scott J. Goetz, Gus R. Shaver
2012, Environmental Research Letters (7)
Recent large and frequent fires above the Alaskan arctic circle have forced a reassessment of the ecological and climatological importance of fire in arctic tundra ecosystems. Here we provide a general overview of the occurrence, distribution, and ecological and climate implications of Alaskan tundra fires over the past half-century using...
SHRIMP U-Pb ages of xenotime and monazite from the Spar Lake red bed-associated Cu-Ag deposit, western Montana: Implications for ore genesis
John N. Aleinikoff, Timothy S. Hayes, Karl V. Evans, Frank K. Mazdab, Renee M. Pillers, C. Mark Fanning
2012, Economic Geology (107) 1251-1274
Xenotime occurs as epitaxial overgrowths on detrital zircons in the Mesoproterozoic Revett Formation (Belt Supergroup) at the Spar Lake red bed-associated Cu-Ag deposit, western Montana. The deposit formed during diagenesis of Revett strata, where oxidizing metal-bearing hydrothermal fluids encountered a reducing zone. Samples for geochronology were collected from several mineral...
Pacific salmonines in the Great Lakes Basin
Randall M. Claramunt, Charles P. Madenjian, David Clapp
William W. Taylor, Abigail J. Lynch, Nancy J. Leonard, editor(s)
2012, Book chapter, Great Lakes fisheries policy and management a binational perspective
Pacific salmon (genus Oncorhynchus) are a valuable resource, both within their native range in the North Pacific rim and in the Great Lakes basin. Understanding their value from a biological and economic perspective in the Great Lakes, however, requires an understanding of changes in the ecosystem and of management actions...
Sequential simulation approach to modeling of multi-seam coal deposits with an application to the assessment of a Louisiana lignite
Ricardo A. Olea, James A. Luppens
2012, Natural Resources Research (21) 443-459
There are multiple ways to characterize uncertainty in the assessment of coal resources, but not all of them are equally satisfactory. Increasingly, the tendency is toward borrowing from the statistical tools developed in the last 50 years for the quantitative assessment of other mineral commodities. Here, we briefly review the...

Paired serologic and polymerase chain reaction analyses of avian influenza prevalence in Alaskan shorebirds
John M. Pearce, Daniel R. Ruthrauff, Jeffrey S. Hall
2012, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (48) 812-814
Surveillance has revealed low prevalence of avian influenza viruses (AIV) in shorebirds except Ruddy Turnstones (Arenaria interpres) on the North American Atlantic coast. Similarly, of five species of shorebirds surveyed in Alaska in 2010, Ruddy Turnstones had the highest AIV antibody prevalence; prevalence of AIV RNA was low or zero....

Mineral resource of the month: cadmium
Amy C. Tolcin
2012, Earth (57) 23-23
The element cadmium was discovered in 1817 by Friedrich Stromeyer, a professor of chemistry at the University of Göttingen in Germany. Stromeyer noticed that a yellowish glow would occur when heat was applied to certain samples of calamine, a zinc-carbonate. This was unusual as the reaction was expected to be...
