Sperm cryopreservation in fish and shellfish
Terrence R. Tiersch, Huiping Yang, Jill A. Jenkins, Qiaoxiang Dong
2007, Society for Reproduction and Fertility Supplement (65) 493-507
Initial success in sperm cryopreservation came at about the same time for aquatic species and livestock. However, in the 50-plus years since then cryopreserved sperm of livestock has grown into a billion-dollar global industry, while despite work in some 200 species with well over 200 published reports,...

Natural bitumen and extra-heavy oil
Emil D. Attanasi, R. F. Meyer

2007, Book chapter, 2007 survey of energy resources
Since 2005, oil price increases have greatly increased investment in the production of extra- heavy oil and natural bitumen (tar sands or oil sands) to supplement conventional oil supplies. These oils are characterised by their high viscosity, high density (low API gravity), and high concentrations of nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, and...

Stratigraphy of Colorado River deposits in lower Mohave Valley, Arizona and California
Keith A. Howard, D.V. Malmon
2007, Conference Paper, Wild, Scenic and Rapid, a trip down the Colorado River trough: Field trip guide and abstracts from the 2007 Desert Symposium
Deposits in lower Mohave Valley and upper Topock Gorge near Topock, Arizona and Park Moabi, California record a succession of depositional and erosional events since late Miocene time that relate to the development of the Colorado River. Upper Miocene alluvial fans were deposited toward a depocenter east of the present...
Towards quantitative monitoring of semivolatile organic compounds using passive air samplers: Chapter 6

Richard B. Greenwood, Graham Mills, B. Vrana, editor(s)
2007, Book chapter, Passive Sampling Techniques in Environmental Monitoring
Passive air samplers can be used to measure the air concentration of various semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) with reasonable reliability. To use passive air samplers to measure atmospheric concentrations of pollutants, calibration data are required. Calibration data include parameters such as sampling rates, sampler/air partition coefficients and loss rate constants....

A review of land–sea coupling by groundwater discharge of nitrogen to New England estuaries: Mechanisms and effects
2007, Applied Geochemistry (22) 175-191
Hydrologists have long been concerned with the interface of groundwater flow into estuaries, but not until the end of the last century did other disciplines realize the major role played by groundwater transport of nutrients to estuaries. Mass balance and stable isotopic data suggest that land-derived NO3, NH4, and dissolved...
Holocene reworking of a sand sheet in the Merrimack Embayment, Western Gulf of Maine
C.J. Hein, D. M. FitzGerald, W. Barnhardt
2007, Conference Paper, ICS2007 Proceedings
Recent bathymetric, backscatter, and seafloor sediment samples demonstrate that a large sand sheet was formed in the inner shelf by the reworking of the Merrimack River lowstand delta (deposited 12 kya; currently at 45 m depth) and braid plain during the Holocene transgression. Asymmetric bedforms and distinct grain size distributions...
Wild, scenic and rapid trip down the Colorado River trough: Desert Symposium field trip

2007, Conference Paper, Wild, Scenic and Rapid, a trip down the Colorado River trough, Field trip guide and abstracts from the 2007 Desert Symposium
This rapid trip will explore wild fluvial and tectonic events resulting in scenic and rugged topography. The extreme differences in elevation caused valleys to be choked by alluvium and incised by the Colorado River drainage system....
Overview: The Chemehuevi Formation along the lower Colorado River

2007, Conference Paper, Wild, Scenic and Rapid, a trip down the Colorado River trough: Field trip guide and abstracts from the 2007 Desert Symposium
A distinctive set of fine-grained deposits occurs throughout the lower Colorado River Valley, extending from just below the mouth of Grand Canyon to well into the river delta below Yuma, AZ (Figure 1), an along-channel distance of over 700 km. Upstream of Parker, Arizona, the deposits consist of scattered erosional...
Integrating human impacts and ecological integrity into a risk-based protocol for conservation planning
K.M. Mattson, Paul L. Angermeier
2007, Environmental Management (39) 125-128
Conservation planning aims to protect biodiversity by sustainng the natural physical, chemical, and biological processes within representative ecosystems. Often data to measure these components are inadequate or unavailable. The impact of human activities on ecosystem processes complicates integrity assessments and might alter ecosystem organization at multiple spatial scales. Freshwater conservation...
Assessing methane release from the colossal Storegga submarine landslide
C. K. Paull, W. Ussler III, W.S. Holbrook
2007, Geophysical Research Letters (34)
Marine slope failure involving methane-gas-hydrate-bearing sediments is one mechanism for releasing enormous quantities of methane to the ocean and atmosphere. The Storegga Slide, on the Norwegian margin, is the largest known Holocene-aged continental margin slope failure complex and is believed to have occurred in sediments that may have initially contained...

Phosphorus Concentrations in Stream-Water and Reference Samples - An Assessment of Laboratory Comparability
Michael R. McHale, Dennis McChesney
2007, Open-File Report 2007-1267
In 2003, a study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy and precision of 10 laboratories that analyze water-quality samples for phosphorus concentrations in the Catskill Mountain region of New York State. Many environmental studies in this region rely on data from these different laboratories for water-quality analyses, and the data...
Chloride Concentrations in Ground Water in East and West Baton Rouge Parishes, Louisiana, 2004-05
John K. Lovelace
2007, Scientific Investigations Report 2007-5069
Increasing chloride concentrations are a threat to fresh ground-water sources in East Baton Rouge and West Baton Rouge Parishes, Louisiana. Large withdrawals at Baton Rouge have lowered water levels and altered flow patterns in most of the 10 aquifers that underlie the area. Prior to development, freshwater flowed southward to...
Trace-Element Concentrations in Tissues of Aquatic Organisms from Rivers and Streams of the United States, 1992-1999

2007, Data Series 309
The U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment Program collected tissue samples from a variety of aquatic organisms during 1992-1999 within 47 study units across the United States. These tissue samples were collected to determine the occurrence and distribution of 20 major and minor trace elements in aquatic organisms. This report...
