Incorporating uncertainty into mercury-offset decisions with a probabilistic network for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit holders: An interim report
Alexander Wood
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1408
This interim report describes an alternative approach for evaluating the efficacy of using mercury (Hg) offsets to improve water quality. Hg-offset programs may allow dischargers facing higher-pollution control costs to meet their regulatory obligations by making more cost effective pollutant-reduction decisions. Efficient Hg management requires methods to translate that science...

Coastal vulnerability assessment of Cape Cod National Seashore to sea-level rise
Erika S. Hammar-Klose, Elizabeth A. Pendleton, E. Robert Thieler, S. Jeffress Williams
2003, Open-File Report 2002-233
A coastal vulnerability index (CVI) was used to map the relative vulnerability of the coast to future sea-level rise within the Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO). The CVI ranks the following in terms of their physical contribution to sea-level rise-related coastal change: geomorphology, regional coastal slope, rate of relative sea-level...
Lost and found: Louisiana’s coastal prairies
John Pitre, Larry K. Allain
2003, Birdscapes 14-17
It’s hard to fathom, but in just 250 years, some 2.5 million acres of coastal prairie that once blanketed in southwest Louisiana have dwindled to just 200 in scattered parcels.The journals of early settlers give us a peek at what it was like: “plentiful game,” “seemingly infinite range for livestock...
Physical stream habitat dynamics in Lower Bear Creek, northern Arkansas
Joanna M. Reuter, Robert B. Jacobson, Caroline M. Elliott
2003, Biological Science Report 2003-0002
We evaluated the roles of geomorphic and hydrologic dynamics in determining physical stream habitat in Bear Creek, a stream with a 239 km2 drainage basin in the Ozark Plateaus (Ozarks) in northern Arkansas. During a relatively wet 12-month monitoring period, the geomorphology of Bear Creek was altered by a...

Workshop 3.5: Closing the gap between exposure and effects in monitoring studies
Donald E. Tillitt, Diana M. Papoulias
2003, Pure and Applied Chemistry (75) 2467-2475
A major challenge to contaminant monitoring programs is the selection of an appropriate suite of measurements for assessing exposure and effects. Early monitoring programs relied solely on residue analysis to detect the organochlorine compounds that were in use at that time. A shift to the use of more transient, less...
