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...

2012, The Auk (129) 427-43
Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii) populations breeding in the northern portion of the species' range exhibit variation in morphological traits that conforms to predictions based on differences in prey size, tree stand density, and migratory behavior. We examined genetic structure and gene flow and compared divergence at morphological traits (PST) and...

Origins of mineral deposits, Belt-Purcell Basin, United States and Canada: An introduction
Stephen E. Box, Arthur A. Bookstrom, Robert G. Anderson
2012, Economic Geology (107) 1081-1088
The fill of the Mesoproterozoic Belt-Purcell Basin, which straddles the United States-Canada border within the Rocky Mountains of western North America (Fig. 1), consists of marine and nonmarine clastic and carbonate strata 15 to 20 km thick. Three giant metal-producing ore deposits or districts account...

2012, Book chapter, Emerging avian disease
To assess the potential impacts of West Nile virus (WNV) on a wild population of free-ranging raptors, we investigated the prevalence and effects of WNV on American Kestrels (Falco sparverius) breeding along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado. We monitored kestrel nesting activity at 131 nest...
Mercury cycling in terrestrial watersheds
James B. Shanley, Kevin Bishop
Michael S. Banks, editor(s)
2012, Book chapter, Mercury in the environment: Pattern and process
This chapter discusses mercury cycling in the terrestrial landscape, including inputs from the atmosphere, accumulation in soils and vegetation, outputs in streamflow and volatilization, and effects of land disturbance. Mercury mobility in the terrestrial landscape is strongly controlled by organic matter. About 90% of the atmospheric mercury input is retained...
Factors associated with the severity of interacting fires in Yosemite National Park
Jan W. van Wagtendonk, Kent A. van Wagtendonk, Andrea E. Thode
2012, Fire Ecology (8) 11-31
In 1972, Yosemite National Park established a wilderness fire zone in which lightning fires were allowed to run their courses under prescribed conditions. This zone was expanded in 1973 to include the 16 209 ha Illilouette Creek basin, just to the southeast of Yosemite Valley. From 1973 through...
An approach to regional wetland digital elevation model development using a differential global positioning system and a custom-built helicopter-based surveying system

2012, International Journal of Remote Sensing (33) 450-465
Accurate topographic data are critical to restoration science and planning for the Everglades region of South Florida, USA. They are needed to monitor and simulate water level, water depth and hydroperiod and are used in scientific research on hydrologic and biologic processes. Because large wetland environments and data acquisition challenge...
Native rainbow smelt and nonnative alewife distribution related to temperature and light gradients in Lake Champlain
Donna L. Parrish, Paul W. Simonin, Lars G. Rudstam, Patrick J. Sullivan, Bernard Pientka
2012, Journal of Great Lakes Research (38) 115-122
Alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) recently became established in Lake Champlain and may compete with native rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) for food or consume larval rainbow smelt. The strength of this effect depends partly on the spatial and temporal overlap of different age groups of the two species; therefore, we need a...
Concentration, distribution, and translocation of mercury and methylmercury in mine-waste, sediment, soil, water, and fish collected near the Abbadia San Salvatore mercury mine, Monte Amiata district, Italy
V. Rimondi, J. E. Gray, P. Costagliola, O. Vaselli, P. Lattanzi
2012, Science of the Total Environment (414) 318-327
The distribution and translocation of mercury (Hg) was studied in the Paglia River ecosystem, located downstream from the inactive Abbadia San Salvatore mine (ASSM). The ASSM is part of the Monte Amiata Hg district, Southern Tuscany, Italy, which was one of the world’s largest Hg districts. Concentrations of Hg and...
Large submarine sand waves and gravel lag substrates on Georges Bank off Atlantic Canada

2012, Book chapter, Seafloor geomorphology as benthic habitat: GeoHab atlas of seafloor geomorphic features and benthic habitats,
Georges Bank is a large, shallow, continental shelf feature offshore of New England and Atlantic Canada. The bank is mantled with a veneer of glacial debris transported during the late Pleistocene from continental areas lying to the north. These sediments were reworked by marine processes during postglacial sea-level transgression and...

Amphibians live in a wide variety of habitats around the world, many of which have been modified or destroyed by human activities. Most species have unique life history characteristics adapted to specific climates, habitats (e.g., lentic, lotic, terrestrial, arboreal, fossorial, amphibious), and local conditions that provide suitable areas for reproduction,...

2012, Book chapter, Selected topics in engineering and environmental geology in Utah
Recent paleoseismic trenching on the Granger fault of the West Valley fault zone in Salt Lake County, Utah, exposed a nearly complete section of late Pleistocene Lake Bonneville deposits, and highlights challenges related to accurate interpretation of basin-floor stratigraphy in the absence of numerical age constraints. We used radiocarbon and...

2012, Geosphere (8) 196-205
The framework of Quaternary faults in Alaska remains poorly constrained. Recent studies in the Alaska Range north of the Denali fault add significantly to the recognition of Quaternary deformation in this active orogen. Faults and folds active during the Quaternary occur over a length of ∼500 km along the...
