Evidence of disease-related amphibian decline in Colorado
Erin Muths, Paul Stephen Corn, Allan P. Pessier, D. Earl Green
2003, Biological Conservation (110) 357-365
The recent discovery of a pathogenic fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) associated with declines of frogs in the American and Australian tropics, suggests that at least the proximate cause, may be known for many previously unexplained amphibian declines. We have monitored boreal toads in Colorado since 1991 at four sites using capturea??recapture...

The purpose of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Oil and Gas Assessment is to develop geology-based hypotheses regarding the potential for additions to oil and gas reserves in priority areas of the United States, focusing on the distribution, quantity, and availability of oil and natural gas resources. The USGS...
A geographic information system tool to solve regression equations and estimate flow-frequency characteristics of Vermont Streams
Scott A. Olson, Gary D. Tasker, Craig M. Johnston
2003, Open-File Report 2002-494
Estimates of the magnitude and frequency of streamflow are needed to safely and economically design bridges, culverts, and other structures in or near streams. These estimates also are used for managing floodplains, identifying flood-hazard areas, and establishing flood-insurance rates, but may be required at ungaged sites where no observed flood...
Geologic framework and hydrogeologic characteristics of the Edwards aquifer, Uvalde County, Texas
Allan K. Clark
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4010
The Edwards aquifer in Uvalde County is composed of Lower Cretaceous carbonate (mostly dolomitic limestone) strata of the Devils River Formation in the Devils River trend and of the West Nueces, McKnight, and Salmon Peak Formations in the Maverick basin. Rocks in the Devils River trend are divided at the...

2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2002-4290
Fractured-bedrock aquifer systems in West Newbury, Maynard, and Paxton, Massachusetts, were studied to advance methods of data collection and analysis for delineating contributing areas to public-supply wells completed in fractured rock and for determining the effects of pumping on streams and wetlands. Contributing areas, as defined for this study, include...

Development of regional curves of bankfull-channel geometry and discharge for streams in the non-urban, Piedmont Physiographic Province, Pennsylvania and Maryland
Peter J. Cinotto
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4014
