Water resources of Monroe County, New York, water years 1994-96, with emphasis on water quality in the Irondequoit Creek basin: Atmospheric deposition, ground water, streamflow, trends in water quality, and chemical loads to Irondequoit Bay
Donald A. Sherwood
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4201
Irondequoit Creek drains 169 square miles in the eastern part of Monroe County. Nutrients transported by Irondequoit Creek to Irondequoit Bay on Lake Ontario have contributed to the eutrophication of the Bay. Sewage-treatment-plant effluent, a major source of nutrients to the creek and its tributaries, was eliminated from the basin...

Occurrence and distribution of methyl tert-butyl ether and other volatile organic compounds in drinking water in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, 1993-98
S. J. Grady, G. D. Casey
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4228
Data on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in drinking water supplied by 2,110 randomly selected community water systems (CWSs) in 12 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States indicate 64 VOC analytes were detected at least once during 1993-98. Selection of the 2,110 CWSs inventoried for this study targeted 20 percent of the 10,479...
Geologic map of the Silver Lake Quadrangle, Cowlitz County, Washington

2001, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2371
This digital map database, compiled from previously published and unpublished data, and new mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of bedrock and surficial deposits of the Silver lake 7.5 minute quadrangle. The database delineates map units that are identified by general age and lithology following the stratigraphic...
Geology of the Woods Hole area, Massachusetts; the story behind the landscape
D. R. Hutchinson, Beth Schwarzman
2001, Fact Sheet 066-01
The geologic story of the Woods Hole area, Cape Cod, Mass., was written by glacial ice during the last ice age and edited by the ocean waves. If you learn to read today's landscape, you can see the fascinating history it records. The features of Cape Cod, from the ponds...

In Jules Verne's footsteps: Seismology in the source
Bill Ellsworth, Hisao Ito, Peter Malin, Rachel E. Abercrombie
2001, Eos Science News (82) 333-339
When Professor Otto Lidenbrock led his little band to the center of the Earth in Jules Verne's 1864 classic novel, the intrepid adventurers needed little more than practical 19th century clothes to provide them with comfort and protection. How different the science of earthquakes would be if conditions in the...
A bacterial method for the nitrogen isotopic analysis of nitrate in seawater and freshwater
D.M. Sigman, K.L. Casciotti, M. Andreani, C. Barford, M. Galanter, J.K. Böhlke
2001, Analytical Chemistry (73) 4145-4153
We report a new method for measurement of the isotopic composition of nitrate (NO3-) at the natural-abundance level in both seawater and freshwater. The method is based on the isotopic analysis of nitrous oxide (N2O) generated from nitrate by denitrifying bacteria that lack N2O-reductase activity. The isotopic composition of both...

Climate variability of the Holocene, Site 1098, Palmer Deep, Antarctica

2001, Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program: Scientific Results 178-7
Detailed study of four Holocene sediment intervals from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1098 (Palmer Deep, Antarctic Peninsula) reveals that in situ dissolution of calcareous foraminifers in the core repository has significantly altered and in some cases eliminated calcareous foraminifers. Despite dissolution, the foraminifer and supporting...
Interaction between the Hawaiian dark-rumped petrel and the Argentine ant in Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii
Paul D. Krushelnycky, Cathleen S.N. Hodges, Arthur C. Medeiros, Lloyd L. Loope
2001, Studies in Avian Biology (22) 243-246
The endemic biota of the Hawaiian islands is believed to have evolved in the absence of ant predation. However, it was suspected that this endemic biota is highly vulnerable to the effect of immigrant ants especially with regard to an aggressive predator known as the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile). First...

2001, Science (293) 283-287
Large millennial-scale fluctuations of the southern margin of the North American Laurentide Ice Sheet occurred during the last deglaciation, when the margin was located between about 43° and 49°N. Fluctuations of the ice margin triggered episodic increases in the flux of freshwater to the North Atlantic by rerouting continental runoff...
Fall and winter habitat use and movement by Columbia River redband trout in a small stream in Montana
Clint C. Muhlfeld, David H. Bennett, B. Marotz
2001, North American Journal of Fisheries Management (21) 170-177
We used radiotelemetry to quantify the movements and habitat use of resident adult Columbia River redband trout Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri (hereafter, redband trout) from October to December 1997 in South Fork Callahan Creek, a third‐order tributary to Callahan Creek in the Kootenai River drainage in northwestern Montana. All redband trout (N = 23)...
Immunogenetics and resistance to avian malaria in Hawaiian honeycreepers (Drepanidinae)

2001, Studies in Avian Biology (22) 254-263
Although a number of factors have contributed to the decline and extinction of Hawai‘i’s endemic terrestrial avifauna, introduced avian malaria (Plasmodium relicturn) is probably the single most important factor preventing recovery of these birds in low-elevation habitats. Continued decline in numbers, fragmentation of populations, and extinction of species that are...

It's not just how high; it's how clean: Sampling the spring 2001 flood in the Upper Mississippi River Basin
Glenn Patterson, Dana W. Kolpin, Stephen J. Kalkhoff, Kathy Lee, Douglas J. Schnoebelen, Kimberlee K. Barnes, Richard H. Coupe
2001, Watershed Events (1-001) 3-4
Floods can cause water-quality problems because of the large amounts of contaminants (sediment, nutrients, pesticides, and bacteria) that can be transported by floodwaters. during the flood on the Upper Mississippi River in 2001, water-quality and water-quality data were collected during near-record streamflow. This is the first time that samples for...
