Habitat and fish population in the deep-sea Oculina coral ecosystem of the western Atlantic
2005, Conference Paper, Benthic habitats and the effects of fishing: Proceedings of Symposium on Effects of Fishing Activities on Benthic Habitats--Linking Geology, Biology, Socioeconomics, and Management
In this paper, we describe results from mapping studies conducted in 2001 and improvements to reef fish populations that have occurred in the last few years. We find that less than 10% of the area contains intact Oculina coral thickets, which we continue to attribute primarily to trawling. In addition,...
Geologic framework, evolution, and sediment resources for restoration of the Louisiana Coastal Zone
Mark Kulp, Shea Penland, S. Jeffress Williams, Chris Jenkins, Jim Flocks, Jack Kindinger
2005, Journal of Coastal Research (44) 56-71
The Louisiana Coastal Zone along the north-central Gulf of Mexico represents one of America's most important coastal ecosystems in terms of natural resources, human infrastructure, and cultural heritage. This zone also has the highest rates of coastal erosion and wetland loss in the nation because of a complex combination of...

2005, Report
Denali National Park and Preserve, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve have been organized into the Central Alaska Network (CAKN) for the purposes of carrying out ecological monitoring activities under the National Park Services’ Vital Signs Monitoring program. The Phase III Report is the initial...
Preliminary assessment of recent deposition related to a crevasse splay on the Mississippi River delta: Implications for coastal restoration
N.F. Ferina, J. G. Flocks, Jack L. Kingdinger, M.D. Miner, J. P. Motti, Paul C. Chadwick, James B. Johnston
2005, Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies Transactions (55) 185-194
Historically, the Mississippi River has replenished sediment across the lower deltaic plain, abating land loss. However, flood-control structures along the river now restrict this natural process and divert sediment from the modern delta offshore to the shelf break, thereby removing it from the coastal system. Localized crevasse splays, however,...

Miocene rapakivi granites in the southern Death Valley region, California, USA
James P. Calzia, O.T. Ramo
2005, Earth-Science Reviews (73) 221-243
Rapakivi granites in the southern Death Valley region, California, include the 12.4-Ma granite of Kingston Peak, the ca. 10.6-Ma Little Chief stock, and the 9.8-Ma Shoshone pluton. All of these granitic rocks are texturally zoned from a porphyritic rim facies, characterized by rapakivi textures and miarolitic cavities, to an equigranular...
Water-quality assessment of Lake Houston near Houston, Texas, 2000-2004
Debra A. Sneck-Fahrer, Matthew S. Milburn, Jeffery W. East, Jeannette H. Oden
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5241
Lake Houston is a major source of public water supply and recreational resource for the Houston metropolitan area, Texas. Water-quality issues of potential concern for the lake have included nutrient enrichment (orthophosphorus, total phosphorus, nitrite plus nitrate) and aquatic life use (dissolved oxygen). The , in cooperation with the City...

Birth of the lower Colorado River–Stratigraphic and geomorphic evidence for its inception near the conjunction of Nevada, Arizona, and California
Kyle House, Keith A. Howard, J. W. Bell, M. E. Perkins, J. E. Faulds, A. Brock
2005, Book chapter, Interior Western United States: Geological Society of America Field Guide
A detailed record of the late Cenozoic history of the lower Colorado River can be inferred from alluvial and (likely) lacustrine stratigraphy exposed in dissected alluvial basins below the mouth of the Grand Canyon. Numerous sites in Mohave, Cottonwood, and Detrital valleys contain stratigraphic records that directly bear on the...

Exploring the persistence of sorted bedforms on the inner-shelf of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina
Benjamin T. Gutierrez, George Voulgaris, E. Robert Thieler
2005, Continental Shelf Research (25) 65-90
Geological studies offshore of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina reveal subtle large-scale regions of coarse sand with gravel and shell hash (widths between 100 and 200 m and negative relief of ∼1 m) that trend obliquely to the coast. It was previously suggested that these regions serve as conduits for sand exchange between...
Survey explores active tectonics in northeastern Caribbean

2005, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (86) 537-540
There is renewed interest in studying the active and complex northeastern Caribbean plate boundary to better understand subduction zone processes and for earthquake and tsunami hazard assessments [e.g., ten Brink and Lin, 2004; ten Brink et al., 2004; Grindlay et al., 2005]. To study the active tectonics of this plate boundary, the GEOPRICO-DO...

Comparison of cytochrome P450 1A induction in blood and liver cells of sea otters
Brenda E. Ballachey, Paul W. Snyder, Tamara Kondratyuk
2005, Report
Sea otters in oiled areas of western PWS had elevated levels of cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A), a biomarker of hydrocarbon exposure, measured in blood samples collected from otters in 1996- 98. In summer 2001, as part of project 01423, we have proposed to resample CYP1A in blood from sea otters...
