Ecoregions and ecoregionalization: geographical and ecological perspectives
Thomas R. Loveland, James W. Merchant
2005, Environmental Management (34) S1-S13
Ecoregions, i.e., areas exhibiting relative homogeneity of ecosystems, are units of analysis that are increasingly important in environmental assessment and management. Ecoregions provide a holistic framework for flexible, comparative analysis of complex environmental problems. Ecoregions mapping has intellectual foundations in both geography and ecology. However, a hallmark of ecoregions mapping...
Geochemistry of sulfate minerals in high- and low-temperature environments: A tribute to Robert O. Rye

2005, Chemical Geology (215) 1-4
This special issue is a tribute to Robert O. Rye, known as "Bob" to most, in light of his highly productive and ongoing career. Almost all of the papers in this issue are derived from topical sessions on sulfate minerals in hydrothermal and low-temperature environments. The sessions, held at the...
Survival and migration behavior of juvenile salmonids at McNary Dam, 2004, Final report of research
Russell W. Perry, Amy C. Braatz, Scott D. Fielding, Joel N. Lucchesi, John M. Plumb, Noah S. Adams, Dennis W. Rondorf
2005, Report
During 2004, the USGS Columbia River Research Laboratory conducted a study at McNary Dam using radio telemetry to estimate passage and survival parameters of juvenile salmonids. Our primary objective was to estimate these parameters under ambient environmental and operational conditions, and thus project-wide treatments were not implemented. The primary dam...
Chapter I: Geology of a Middle Tertiary Clay Deposit in thePatagonia Mountains near Harshaw, Santa Cruz County, Southeastern Arizona
Brenda B. Houser
2005, Bulletin 2209-I
A middle Tertiary rhyolite tuff on the northeast side of the Patagonia Mountains in Santa Cruz County, southeastern Arizona contains lenses of calcareous low-swelling montmorillonite clay, as much as 10 to 15 m thick. The presence of the tuff has been known for years, but the clay has not been...
Evaluating water management strategies with the Systems Impact Assessment Model: SIAM version 4
John M. Bartholow, John Heasley, Blair Hanna, Jeff Sandelin, Marshall Flug, Sharon Campbell, Jim Henriksen, Aaron Douglas
2005, Open-File Report 2003-82
Water from many of California's coastal rivers has been used for a wide variety of development ventures, including major agricultural diversions, hydropower generation, and contaminant assimilation from industry, agriculture and logging. Anthropogenic impacts often degrade water quality and decrease the quantity and quality of aquatic habitat. Reallocating streamflow away from...

2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5267
Ground water historically has been the sole source of water supply for the community of Joshua Tree in the Joshua Tree ground-water subbasin of the Morongo ground-water basin in the southern Mojave Desert. The Joshua Basin Water District (JBWD) supplies water to the community from the underlying Joshua Tree ground-water...
Acoustic Flow Monitor System - User Manual
Richard LaHusen
2005, Open-File Report 2002-429
INTRODUCTION The Acoustic Flow Monitor (AFM) is a portable system that was designed by the U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory to detect and monitor debris flows associated with volcanoes. It has been successfully used internationally as part of real-time warning systems in valleys threatened by such flows (Brantley, 1990; Marcial...

Water quality in Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park — Trends and spatial characteristics of selected constituents
Ronald L. Miller, Benjamin F. McPherson, Robert Sobczak, Christine Clark
2004, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4249
Seasonal changes in water levels and flows in Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) and Everglades National Park (EVER) affect water quality. As water levels and flows decline during the dry season, physical, geochemical and biological processes increase the breakdown of organic materials and the build-up of organic waste, nutrients, and...
Surface-Water and Ground-Water Interactions in the Central Everglades, Florida
Judson W. Harvey, Jessica T. Newlin, James M. Krest, Jungyill Choi, Eric A. Nemeth, Steven L. Krupa
2004, Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5069
Recharge and discharge are hydrological processes that cause Everglades surface water to be exchanged for subsurface water in the peat soil and the underlying sand and limestone aquifer. These interactions are thought to be important to water budgets, water quality, and ecology in the Everglades. Nonetheless, relatively few studies of...
Water flow and nutrient flux from five estuarine rivers along the southwest coast of the Everglades National Park, Florida, 1997-2001
