Glacier microseismicity

Michael E. West, Christopher F. Larsen, Martin Truffer, Shad O’Neel, Laura LeBlanc

2010, Geology (38) 319-322

We present a framework for interpreting small glacier seismic events based on data collected near the center of Bering Glacier, Alaska, in spring 2007. We find extremely high microseismicity rates (as many as tens of events per minute) occurring largely within a few kilometers of the receivers. A high-frequency class...

Volcano-Monitoring Instrumentation in the United States, 2008

Marianne Guffanti, Angela K. Diefenbach, John W. Ewert, David W. Ramsey, Peter F. Cervelli, Steven P. Schilling

2010, Open-File Report 2009-1165

The United States is one of the most volcanically active countries in the world. According to the global volcanism database of the Smithsonian Institution, the United States (including its Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) is home to about 170 volcanoes that are in an eruptive phase, have erupted in...

Vegetation of eastern Unalaska Island, Aleutian Islands, Alaska

Stephen S. Talbot, Wilfred B. Schofield, Sandra L. Talbot, Fred J.A. Daniels

2010, Botany (88) 366-388

Plant communities of Unalaska Island in the eastern Aleutian Islands of western Alaska, and their relationship to environmental variables, were studied using a combined Braun-Blanquet and multivariate approach. Seventy relevés represented the range of structural and compositional variation in the matrix of vegetation and landform zonation. Eleven major community types...

Vulnerability of white spruce tree growth in interior Alaska in response to climate variability: Dendrochronological, demographic, and experimental perspectives

A. David McGuire, Roger W. Ruess, A. Lloyd, J. Yarie, Joy S. Clein, G.P. Juday

2010, Canadian Journal of Forest Research (40) 1197-1209

This paper integrates dendrochronological, demographic, and experimental perspectives to improve understanding of the response of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) tree growth to climatic variability in interior Alaska. The dendrochronological analyses indicate that climate warming has led to widespread declines in white spruce growth throughout interior Alaska that have...

Behaviour of wintering Tundra Swans Cygnus columbianus columbianus at the Eel River delta and Humboldt Bay, California, USA

Jeffrey M. Black, Carol Gress, Jacob W. Byers, Emily Jennings, Craig R. Ely

2010, Wildfowl (60) 38-51

Tundra Swan Cygnus columbianus columbinanus phenology and behaviour at the Eel River delta and southern Humboldt Bay in northern California, USA, is described. Counts made each January from 1963 onwards peaked at 1,502 swans in 1988. Monthly counts recorded during the 2006/07 and 2008/09 winters peaked in February, at 1,033...

Historic and paleo-submarine landslide deposits imaged beneath Port Valdez, Alaska: Implications for tsunami generation in a glacial fiord

H. F. Ryan, H. J. Lee, Peter J. Haeussler, C. R. Alexander, Robert E. Kayen

David C. Mosher, R. C. Shipp, Lorena Moscardelli, Jason Chaytor, Christopher D. P. Baxter, Homa J. Lee, Roger Urgeles, editor(s)

2010, Book chapter, Submarine mass movements and their consequences

During the 1964 M9.2 great Alaskan earthquake, submarine-slope failures resulted in the generation of highly destructive tsunamis at Port Valdez, Alaska. A high-resolution, mini-sparker reflection profiler was used to image debris lobes, which we attribute to slope failures that occurred both during and prior to the 1964 megathrust event. In...

Beak deformities in Northwestern Crows: Evidence of a multispecies epizootic

Caroline R. Van Hemert, Colleen M. Handel

2010, The Auk (127) 746-751

Beak abnormalities are rare among adult birds and, typically, are not widespread in a given population, within a region, or across multiple species. A high concentration of beak deformities was recently documented in Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) and other resident avian species in Alaska. We describe a parallel condition in...

Iceberg calving during transition from grounded to floating ice: Columbia Glacier, Alaska

Fabian Walter, Shad O’Neel, Daniel McNamara, W.T. Pfeffer, Jeremy N. Bassis, Helen Amanda Fricker

2010, Geophysical Research Letters (37)

The terminus of Columbia Glacier, Alaska, unexpectedly became ungrounded in 2007 during its prolonged retreat. Visual observations showed that calving changed from a steady release of low-volume bergs, to episodic flow-perpendicular rifting, propagation, and release of very large icebergs - a style reminiscent of calving from ice shelves. Here, we...

Population structure and plumage polymorphism: the intraspecific evolutionary relationships of a polymorphic raptor, Buteo jamaicensis harlani

Joshua M. Hull, David P. Mindell, Sandra L. Talbot, Emily H. Kay, Hopi E. Hoekstra, Holly B. Ernest

2010, BMC Evolutionary Biology (10)

Background Phenotypic and molecular genetic data often provide conflicting patterns of intraspecific relationships confounding phylogenetic inference, particularly among birds where a variety of environmental factors may influence plumage characters. Among diurnal raptors, the taxonomic relationship of Buteo jamaicensis harlani to other B. jamaicensis subspecies has been long debated because of the polytypic nature of the...

Iceberg calving as a primary source of regional‐scale glacier‐generated seismicity in the St. Elias Mountains, Alaska

Shad O’Neel, Christopher F. Larsen, Natalia Rupert, Roger Hansen

2010, Journal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface (115)

Since the installation of the Alaska Regional Seismic Network in the 1970s, data analysts have noted nontectonic seismic events thought to be related to glacier dynamics. While loose associations with the glaciers of the St. Elias Mountains have been made, no detailed study of the source locations has been undertaken....

Persistent organic pollutants in the blood of free-ranging sea otters (Enhydra lutris ssp.) in Alaska and California

David A. Jessup, Christine K. Johnson, James Estes, Daphne Carlson-Bremer, Walter M. Jarman, Stacey Reese, Erin Dodd, M. T. Tinker, Michael H. Ziccardi

2010, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (46) 1214-1233

As part of tagging and ecologic research efforts in 1997 and 1998, apparently healthy sea otters of four age-sex classes in six locations in Alaska and three in California were sampled for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and other chemicals of ecologic or environmental concern (COECs). Published techniques for the detection...

Are inland wolf-ungulate systems influenced by marine subsidies of Pacific salmon?

Layne G. Adams, Sean D. Farley, Craig A. Stricker, Dominic J. Demma, Gretchen H. Roffler, Dennis C. Miller, Robert O. Rye

2010, Ecological Applications (20) 251-262

Wolves (Canis lupus) in North America are considered obligate predators of ungulates with other food resources playing little role in wolf population dynamics or wolf–prey relations. However, spawning Pacific salmon (Oncorhyncus spp.) are common throughout wolf range in northwestern North America and may provide a marine subsidy affecting inland wolf–ungulate...
