David M. Bjerklie, Roland J. Viger, Thomas J. Trombley
2011, Earth Interactions (15) 1-35
A regional watershed model was developed for watersheds contributing to Long Island Sound, including the Connecticut River basin. The study region covers approximately 40 900 km2, extending from a moderate coastal climate zone in the south to a mountainous northern New England climate zone dominated by snowmelt in the north....
Managing white-tailed deer: Eastern North America
Duane R. Diefenbach, Stephen M. Shea
2011, Book chapter, Biology and management of white-tailed deer
The ability of the white-tailed deer to adapt to and thrive in a wide variety of habitats requires different approaches to managing this species. Variation in both the population dynamics of the species and in the social and political factors that inuence how humans value white-tailed deer also necessitate different...

Water and heat transport in boreal soils: Implications for soil response to climate change
Zhaosheng Fan, Jennifer W. Harden, G.C. Winston, Jonathan A. O’Donnell, Jason C. Neff, Tingjun Zhang, Hugo Veldhuis, C.I. Czimczik
2011, Science of the Total Environment (409) 1836-1842
Soil water content strongly affects permafrost dynamics by changing the soil thermal properties. However, the movement of liquid water, which plays an important role in the heat transport of temperate soils, has been under-represented in boreal studies. Two different heat transport models with and without convective heat transport were compared...

The Energy Minerals Division (EMD) of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) is a membership-based, technical interest group having the primary goal of advancing the science of geology, especially as it relates to exploration, discovery, and production of unconventional energy resources. Current research on unconventional energy resources is rapidly...
Using regional-scale pre- and post Hurricane Katrina lidar for monitoring and modeling: Chapter 30
Jason M. Stoker, D. Phil Turnipseed, Kenneth V. Wilson
2011, Book chapter, Recent Hurricane Research - Climate, Dynamics, and Societal Impacts
Hurricane Katrina was one of the largest natural disasters in U.S. history. Due to the sheer size of the affected areas, an unprecedented regional analysis at very high resolution and accuracy was needed to properly quantify and understand the effects of the hurricane and the storm tide. Many disparate sources of lidar data...

2011, Conference Paper, Bridging America and Russia with shared perspectives on aquatic animal health: Proceedings of the Third Bilateral Conference between Russia and the United States, 12-20 July, 2009, held in Shepherdstown, West Virginia
During horizontal or water-borne infection involving an obligate pathogen (e.g. – Aeromonas salmonicida, cause of furunculosis), the pathogen interacted with and influenced the microbial diversity of the dermal mucus of fish. Prior to infection, the prevalent bacterial flora cultured from juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) included Pseudomonas fluorescens, Comomonas terrigenia,...
Exploring life history characteristics of naturalized versus stocked chinook
Mark W. Rogers, Janice A Kerns, David B. Bunnell, Randall M. Claramunt, Paris D. Collingsworth
2011, Report
Naturalization of stocked populations can result in divergence of life-history traits from domestic stocks. Lake Michigan supports popular Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Salmon fisheries that have been sustained by stocking since the late 1960s. Natural recruitment of Chinook Salmon in Lake Michigan has increased in the last few decades and currently...

Methane hydrate-bearing seeps as a source of aged dissolved organic carbon to the oceans
John W. Pohlman, William F. Waite, James E. Bauer, Christopher L. Osburn, N. Ross Chapman
2011, Nature Geoscience (4) 37-41
Marine sediments contain about 500–10,000 Gt of methane carbon1, 2, 3, primarily in gas hydrate. This reservoir is comparable in size to the amount of organic carbon in land biota, terrestrial soils, the atmosphere and sea water combined1, 4, but it releases relatively little methane to the ocean and atmosphere5. Sedimentary...
Surficial geology and benthic habitat of the German Bank seabed, Scotian Shelf, Canada
Brian J. Todd, Vladimir E. Kostylev
2011, Continental Shelf Research (31) S54-S68
To provide the scientific context for management of a newly opened scallop fishing ground, surficial geology and benthic habitats were mapped on German Bank on the southern Scotian Shelf off Atlantic Canada. To provide a seamless regional dataset, multibeam sonar surveys covered 5320 sqaure kilometres of the bank in water...

Geophysical expression of elements of the Rio Grande rift in the northeast Tusas Mountains - Preliminary interpretations
Benjamin J. Drenth, Kenzie J. Turner, Ren A. Thompson, V. J. Grauch, Michael A. Cosca, John Lee
2011, Conference Paper, New Mexico Geological Society 62nd Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook
New interpretations of the nature of the Rio Grande rift and pre-existing rocks in the northeast Tusas Mountains region are derived from new and existing gravity and aeromagnetic data. 12-15 mGal amplitude gravity lows are interpreted to mainly reflect large thicknesses of the upper Oligocene to upper Miocene, syn-rift Los...
Bias-adjusted satellite-based rainfall estimates for predicting floods: Narayani Basin
Guleid A. Artan, S.A. Tokar, D.K. Gautam, S.R. Bajracharya, M.S. Shrestha
2011, Journal of Flood Risk Management (4) 360-373
In Nepal, as the spatial distribution of rain gauges is not sufficient to provide detailed perspective on the highly varied spatial nature of rainfall, satellite-based rainfall estimates provides the opportunity for timely estimation. This paper presents the flood prediction of Narayani Basin at the Devghat hydrometric station (32 000 km2) using bias-adjusted...

2011, Molecular Ecology Resources (12) 191-196
Sequence-based species identification relies on the extent and integrity of sequence data available in online databases such as GenBank. When identifying species from a sample of unknown origin, partial DNA sequences obtained from the sample are aligned against existing sequences in databases. When the sequence from the matching species is...

2011, Open-File Report 2011-1308
The Las Conchas Fire during the summer of 2011 was the largest in recorded history for the state of New Mexico, burning 634 square kilometers in the Jemez Mountains of north-central New Mexico. The burned landscape is now at risk of damage from postwildfire erosion, such as that caused by...
Development of a pan-Arctic monitoring plan for polar bears: Background paper
Dag Vongraven, Elizabeth L. Peacock
2011, Report
Polar bears (Ursus maritimus), by their very nature, and the extreme, remote environment in which they live, are inherently difficult to study and monitor. Monitoring polar bear populations is both arduous and costly and, to be effective, must be a long-term commitment. There are few jurisdictional governments and management...
