An integrated monitoring approach using multiple reference sites to assess sustainable restoration in coastal Louisiana
Gregory D. Steyer, Robert R. Twilley, Richard C Raynie
2006, Conference Paper, Monitoring Science and Technology Symposium: Unifying Knowledge for Sustainability in the Western Hemisphere Proceedings
Achieving sustainable resource management in coastal Louisiana requires establishing reference conditions that incorporate the goals and objectives of restoration efforts. Since the reference condition is usually considered sustainable, it can be a gauge to assess the present condition of a (degraded) system or to evaluate progress of management actions toward...
A simulation model of land-use change in the Lake Tahoe Basin of California and Nevada, as used in a decision-support system
Mark L. Hessenflow, David L. Halsing
2006, Conference Paper, Proceedings of 3rd International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software - Burlington, Vermont, USA - July 2006
The Tahoe Land-Use Change model is a stochastic, spatially explicit simulation of future land-use change—in particular, development and retirement of individual parcels—in the Lake Tahoe Basin of California and Nevada. The Federal, State, and regional management agencies responsible for the basin are revising and integrating their 20-year plans to meet...

Close proximity to the Gulf Coast and its expansive wetland ecosystem made Lafayette, Louisiana, a perfect site for the U.S. Geological Survey National Wetlands Research Center. This location also put the center at the edge of the hurricane impact zones. In the days following the storms, researchers became rescuers and...

2006, Book chapter
Soils and aquifers are major compartments of the subsurface environment, which together control the terrestrial hydrological cycle. This subsurface is important for water resources and also as repository for municipal, industrial, and government waste. Aquifers are typically recharged by natural rainfall entering the soil profile and leaching into deeper soil...

Late Cretaceous Valle Group forearcbasin deposits on the Vizcaino Peninsula of Baja California Sur are dominated by firstcycle arc-derived volcanic-plutonic detritus derived from the adjacent Peninsular Ranges batholith. Craton-derived quartzite clasts are a minor but ubiquitous component in Valle Group conglomerates. The source of these clasts has implications for tectonic...
Reproductive development in the sicklefin chub in the Missouri and Lower Yellowstone Rivers

We describe aspects of sicklefin chub (Macrhybopsis meeki) reproductive development from three study areas encompassing greater than 2,700 km of the Missouri and Lower Yellowstone rivers. The sicklefin chub was collected between late July and early October in 1996 and 1997. A...

2006, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the Eighth Federal Interagency Sedimentation Conference
Marine sediments off the eastern United States vary markedly in texture (i.e., the size, shape, composition, and arrangement of their grains) due to a complex geologic history. For descriptive purposes, however, it is typically most useful to classify these sediments according to their grain-size distributions. In 1962, the U.S. Geological...
Seafloor character and sedimentary processes in eastern Long Island Sound and western Block Island Sound
Lawrence J. Poppe, M. L. Cohen-DiGiacomo, S. M. Smith, H.F. Stewart, N.A. Forfinski
2006, Geo-Marine Letters (26) 59-68
Multibeam bathymetric data and seismic-reflection profiles collected in eastern Long Island Sound and western Block Island Sound reveal previously unrecognized glacial features and modern bedforms. Glacial features include an ice-sculptured bedrock surface, a newly identified recessional moraine, exposed glaciolacustrine sediments, and remnants of stagnant-ice-contact deposits. Modern bedforms include fields of...

Relations among pH, sulfate, and metals concentrations in anthracite and bituminous coal-mine discharges, Pennsylvania
III Cravotta
2006, Conference Paper, Proceedings: 23rd Annual Meeting of the ASMR, March 26-30, 2006, St. Louis, Missouri
Water-quality data for discharges from 140 abandoned mines in the Bituminous and Anthracite Coalfields of Pennsylvania illustrate relations among pH, sulfate, and dissolved metal concentrations. The pH for the 140 samples ranged from 2.7 to 7.3, with two modes at pH 2.5 to 4 (acidic) and 6 to 7 (near...
