Development and application of a regression equation for estimating the occurrence of atrazine in shallow ground water beneath agricultural areas of the United States
Paul E. Stackelberg, Robert J. Gilliom, David M. Wolock, Kerie J. Hitt
2006, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5287
Results from 52 ground-water studies throughout the United States were used to examine relations between the occurrence of atrazine in shallow ground water in agricultural settings and explanatory variables that describe the natural setting, agricultural-management practices, and the type and amount of development in each area. The explanatory variables that...
Occurrence, distribution, and transport of pesticides in agricultural irrigation-return flow from four drainage basins in the Columbia Basin Project, Washington, 2002-04, and comparison with historical data
Richard J. Wagner, Lonna M. Frans, Raegan L. Huffman
2006, Scientific Investigations Report 2006-5005
Water-quality samples were collected from sites in four irrigation return-flow drainage basins in the Columbia Basin Project from July 2002 through October 2004. Ten samples were collected throughout the irrigation season (generally April through October) and two samples were collected during the non-irrigation season. Samples were analyzed for temperature, pH,...

Johnson, Sarah Johnson, Kjartan M Kinch, Randolph L. Kirk, Ella M. Lee, Craig Leff, Mark T. Lemmon, Madsen Morten B., Justin N. Maki, Kevin F. Mullins, Bonnie L. Redding, Lutz Richter, Mark R. Rosiek, Michael H. Sims, Laurence A. Soderblom, Nicole Spanovich, Richard Springer, Robert M. Sucharski, Tracie L. Sucharski, Robert Sullivan, James M. Torson, Albert S. Yen
2006, Journal of Geophysical Research E: Planets (111)
The Microscopic Imager (MI) on the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has returned images of Mars with higher resolution than any previous camera system, allowing detailed petrographic and sedimentological studies of the rocks and soils at the Gusev landing site. Designed to simulate a geologist's hand lens, the MI is mounted...
Geochemical and isotopic evaluation of groundwater movement in corrective action Unit 97: Yucca Flat/Climax Mine, Nevada Test Site, Nevada, rev. no.: 0
I. M. Farnham, T. P. Rose, E. M. Kwicklis, R. L. Hershey, James B. Paces, W. M. Fryer
2006, Technical Report 99205-070
This report describes the results of a comprehensive geochemical evaluation of the groundwater flow system in the Yucca Flat/Climax Mine Corrective Action Unit (CAU). The main objectives of this study are to identify probable pathways for groundwater flow within the study area and to develop constraints on groundwater transit times...
The changing shapes of active volcanoes: History, evolution, and future challenges for volcano geodesy
Michael P. Poland, Michael W. Hamburger, Andrew V. Newman
2006, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (150) 1-13
At the very heart of volcanology lies the search for the 'plumbing systems' that form the inner workings of Earth’s active volcanoes. By their very nature, however, the magmatic reservoirs and conduits that underlie these active volcanic systems are elusive; mostly they are observable only through circumstantial evidence, using indirect,...
Special issue: The changing shapes of active volcanoes: Recent results and advances in volcano geodesy
Michael P. Poland, Andrew V. Newman, editor(s)
2006, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (150)
The 18 papers herein report on new geodetic data that offer valuable insights into eruptive activity and magma transport; they present new models and modeling strategies that have the potential to greatly increase understanding of magmatic, hydrothermal, and volcano-tectonic processes; and they describe innovative techniques for collecting geodetic measurements from remote,...
Emergence of ratio-dependent and predator-dependent functional responses for pollination mutualism and seed parasitism
Donald L. DeAngelis, J. Nathaniel Holland
2006, Ecological Modelling (191) 551-556
Prey (N) dependence [g(N)], predator (P) dependence [g(P) or g(N,P)], and ratio dependence [f(P/N)] are often seen as contrasting forms of the predator's functional response describing predator consumption rates on prey resources in predator–prey and parasitoid–host interactions. Analogously, prey-, predator-, and ratio-dependent functional responses are apparently alternative functional responses for other...
Water Resources Investigations at Edwards Air Force Base since 1988
Michelle Sneed, Tracy Nishikawa, Peter Martin
2006, Fact Sheet 2005-3112
Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) in southern California (fig. 1) has relied on ground water to meet its water-supply needs. The extraction of ground water has led to two major problems that can directly affect the mission of EAFB: declining water levels (more than 120 ft since the 1920s) and...
The Hayward fault
Doris Sloan, D. Wells, Glenn Borchardt, John Caulfield, D.M. Doolin, J. Eidinger, Lind Gee, Russell W. Graymer, Peggy Hellweg, Alan L. Kropp, James Lienkaemper, Charles Rabamad, N. Sitar, Heidi D. Stenner, Stephen Tobriner, David Tsztoo, M.L. Zoback
2006, GSA Field Guides (7) 273-331
This field guide consists of eleven stops at sites that illustrate the geological, geophysical, geographic, and engineering aspects of the Hayward fault in the East Bay. Section I (Stops 1–4) consists of stops that are part of the University of California at Berkeley (UC-Berkeley), including research facilities, retrofit of campus...
Eutrophication of freshwater and marine ecosystems
Val H. Smith, Samantha B. Joye, Robert W. Howarth
2006, Limnology and Oceanography (51) 351-355
Initial understanding of the links between nutrients and aquatic productivity originated in Europe in the early 1900s, and our knowledge base has expanded greatly during the past 40 yr. This explosion of eutrophication-related research has made it unequivocally clear that a comprehensive strategy to prevent excessive amounts of nitrogen and...

Gerald F. Wieczorek, L. Scott Eaton, Thomas M. Yanosky, Eric Turner
2006, Landslides (3) 95-106
Although intense rainfall and localized flooding occurred as Hurricane Isabel tracked inland northwestardly across the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia on September 18–19, 2003, few landslides occurred. However, the hurricane reactivated a dormant landslide along a bluff of an incised alluvial fan along Meadow Run on the western flanks...
