Updip limit of the seismogenic zone beneath the accretionary prism of southwest Japan: An effect of diagenetic to low-grade metamorphic processes and increasing effective stress
J. Casey Moore, Demian M. Saffer
2001, Geology (29) 183-186
Off southwest Japan the seaward limit of coseismic displacement (or updip limit of the seismogenic zone) of the 1946 Mw 8.3 thrust earthquake reaches to 4 km depth and ∼40 km landward of the trench. This limit coincides with the estimated location of the 150 °C isotherm, and has been linked...

Upper Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone: Major coalbed methane play in central Utah
Scott L. Montgomery, David E. Tabet, Charles E. Barker
2001, AAPG Bulletin (85) 199-219
Recent drilling for coalbed gas in the Upper Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone Member of central Utah has resulted in one of the most successful plays of this kind. Exploration to date has resulted in three fields and a potential fairway 6-10 mi (10-16 km) wide and 20-60 mi (32-96 km) long,...

Population dynamics and the ecological stability of obligate pollination mutualisms
J. Nathaniel Holland, Donald L. DeAngelis
2001, Oecologia (126) 575-586
Mutualistic interactions almost always produce both costs and benefits for each of the interacting species. It is the difference between gross benefits and costs that determines the net benefit and the per-capita effect on each of the interacting populations. For example, the net benefit of obligate pollinators, such as yucca...
The U.S. National Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative and the role of protected areas
Russell James Hall, Catherine A. Langtimm

In response to concerns about the worldwide status of amphibians (Alford and Richards 1999; Bury 1999; Daszak et al. 1999; Houlahan et al. 2000), Congress in Fiscal Year 2000 provided initial support to agencies of the U.S. Department of the Interior for research and monitoring of amphibians. Most funds came...
Geology and paleontology of five cores from Screven and Burke counties, eastern Georgia
Lucy E. Edwards
2001, Professional Paper 1603
Five deep stratigraphic test holes were drilled from 1991 to 1993 in support of multidisciplinary investigations to determine the stratigraphy of Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments of the coastal plain in east-central Georgia. Cored sediment and geological logs from the Millhaven test hole in Screven County and the Girard and...
Age and sex determination of the Maui Parrotbill
Kim E. Berlin, John C. Simon, Thane K. Pratt, Paul E. Baker, James R. Kowalsky
2001, Journal of Field Ornithology (72) 12-21
We determined the best plumage and morphometric variables for ageing and sexing the Maui Parrotbill (Pseudonestor xanthophrys), an endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper found only on east Maui, Hawaii, by examining and measuring 30 museum specimens and 71 live birds captured in mist nets. Juvenal plumage was identified by the presence of...

Attention turns to naturally occurring methane seepage
Keith A. Kvenvolden, Thomas Lorenson, W.S. Reeburgh
2001, Eos, Earth and Space Science News (82) 457-458
Methane is the most abundant organic compound in the Earth's atmosphere. As a powerful greenhouse gas, it has implications for global climate change. Sources of methane to the atmosphere are varied. Depending on the source, methane can contain either modern or ancient carbon. Methane exiting from swamps and wetlands contains...
Quaternary glacial, lacustrine, and fluvial interactions in the western Noatak basin, Northwest Alaska
T. D. Hamilton
2001, Quaternary Science Reviews (20) 371-391
The 130 km long Noatak basin is surrounded by mountains of the western Brooks Range. Middle and late Pleistocene glaciers flowing southeast into the basin dammed a succession of proglacial lakes defined by shorelines, outlet channels, and upper limits of wave erosion. More than 60 bluffs along the Noatak River...

Geochemical constraints on the origin of the Sterling Hill and Franklin zinc deposits, and the furnace magnetite bed, northwestern New Jersey
Craig A. Johnson
2001, Book chapter, Part I. Proterozoic Iron and Zinc Deposits of the Adirondack Mountains of New York and the New Jersey Highlands Part II. Environmental Geochemistry and Mining History of Massive Sulfide Deposits in the Vermont Copper Belt
The purpose of this chapter is to review two aspects of the geochemistry of the Sterling Hill and Franklin zinc-ironmanganese deposits and the Furnace magnetite bed that underlies the Franklin deposit. These are (1) oxidation and sulfidation states determined from heterogeneous phase equilibria, and (2) stable isotopic compositions determined from...
What caused the population decline of the Bridled White-eye on Rota, Mariana Islands?
Steven G. Fancy, Thomas J. Snetsinger
2001, Studies in Avian Biology (22) 274-280
The Bridled White-eye (Zosterops conspicillatus rotensis) was Once thought to be common and widespread on Rota, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, but is now restricted to several patches of native limestone forest in and adjacent to the Sabana region. Surveys conducted in 1990 indicated that the population had declined...
Simulation of ground-water discharge to Biscayne Bay, southeastern Florida

As part of the Place-Based Studies Program, the U.S. Geological Survey initiated a project in 1996, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to quantify the rates and patterns of submarine ground-water discharge to Biscayne Bay. Project objectives were achieved through field investigations at three sites (Coconut Grove,...
The importance of competition in regulating plant species abundance along a salinity gradient
M. K. Greiner La Peyre, James B. Grace, E. Hahn, I.A. Mendelssohn
2001, Ecology (82) 62-69
Current theories differ in their predictions concerning the effects of interspecific interactions on species growth and distribution along environmental gradients. In this study, we examined the influence of competition on species composition across a salinity gradient. This work involved three common fresh and brackish marsh species. The three species, Spartina patens,...
Knickzone propagation in the Black Hills and northern High Plains: A different perspective on the late Cenozoic exhumation of the Laramide Rocky Mountains
Brent J. Zaprowski, Edward B. Evenson, Frank J. Pazzaglia, Jack B. Epstein
2001, Geology (29) 547-550
Geomorphic research in the Black Hills and northern High Plains poses an intriguing hypothesis for the Cenozoic evolution of this salient of the Laramide Rockies. Most recently, geologists have appealed to late Cenozoic epeirogenic uplift or climate change to explain the post-Laramide unroofing of the Rockies. On the basis of...
