Distributed shear of subglacial till due to Coulomb slip
Neal R. Iverson, Richard M. Iverson
2001, Journal of Glaciology (47) 481-488
In most models of the flow of glaciers on till beds, it has been assumed that till behaves as a viscoplastic fluid, despite contradictory evidence from laboratory studies. In accord with this assumption, displacement profiles measured in subglacial till have been fitted with viscoplastic models by estimating...

Water quality assessment of the Eastern Iowa Basins: Basic water chemistry of rivers and streams, 1996-98
Kimberlee K. Barnes
2001, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the Agriculture and the Environment: State and Federal Water Initiatives Conference
The U.S. Geological Survey began data-collection activities in the Eastern Iowa Basins study unit of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program in September 1995 with the purpose of determining the status and trends in water quality of water from the Wapsipinicon, Cedar, Iowa, and Skunk River basins. From March 1996 through...
SHRIMP-RG U-Pb zircon geochronology of mesoproterozoic metamorphism and plutonism in the southwesternmost United States
Andrew P. Barth, Joseph L. Wooden, Drew S. Coleman
2001, Journal of Geology (109) 319-327
Mesoproterozoic intrusive and granulite‐grade metamorphic rocks in southern California have been inferred to be exotic to North America on the basis of perceived chronologic incompatibility with autochthonous cratonal rocks. Ion microprobe geochronology indicates that zircons in granulite‐grade gneisses, dated at 1.4 Ga using conventional methods, are composed of 1.68–1.80‐Ga cores...

The role of native birds and other wildlife on the emergence of zoonotic diseases

T. Burroughs, S. Knobler, J. Lederberg, editor(s)
2001, Book, The Emergence of Zoonotic Diseases: Understanding the Impact on Animal and Human Health: Workshop Summary
Wildlife can be an important source of transmission of infectious disease to humans. One potential transmission route involves hunting and fishing, both common activities in the United States and worldwide. For example, during 1996, approximately 11 million Americans, about 40 percent of the total population 16 years of age and...
Integrated surface and borehole strong-motion, soil-response arrays in San Francisco, California

M. Erdik, Mehmet Celebi, V. Mihailov, N. Apaydin, editor(s)
2001, Book chapter, Strong motion instrumentation for civil engineering structures
An integrated set of four borehole arrays and ten surface installations is installed in the city of San Francisco, California to measure the response of soft-soil deposits to strong earthquake ground motions. The borehole arrays extend through thick layers of softwater-saturated soils of Holocene age and older more consolidated soils...
Planetary geodesy and cartography at the USGS, Flagstaff: Moon, Mars, Venus, and beyond
Randolph L. Kirk, Mark R. Rosiek, Elpitha Howington-Kraus, Eric M. Eliason, Brent A. Archinal, Ella M. Lee
2001, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the XXth International Cartographic Conference
An important theme of our work is the synergistic use of a variety of geodetic, cartographic, and photogrammetric software packages. The USGS digital cartographic software system ISIS provides most of the processing capability needed for planimetric mapping tasks such as our revision of the global digital image mosaic of Mars...

Secretion of whey acidic protein and cystatin is down regulated at mid-lactation in the red kangaroo (Macropus rufus)

2001, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology (129) 851-858
Milk collected from the red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) between day 100 and 260 of lactation showed major changes in milk composition at around day 200 of lactation, the time at which the pouch young begins to temporarily exit the pouch and eat herbage. The carbohydrate content of milk declined abruptly...

Ancient blue oaks reveal human impact on San Francisco Bay salinity

2001, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (82) 141-145
San Francisco Bay is one of the most important estuaries on the west coast of the Americas. Its water quality is controlled primarily by streamflow from the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. In fact, freshwater inflow from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta explains 86% of the salinity variability at the mouth...
Managing Minnesota's recovered wolves
L. David Mech
2001, Wildlife Society Bulletin 29
The Minnesota wolf (Canis lupus) population was estimated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources at 2,450 during winter 1997-1998 and had increased at an average annual rate of 4.5% since winter 1988-1989. The population may be removed from the federal endangered species list by 2002, and management would then...

2001, Information and Technology Report 2002-0009
Synopsis -- Shortly after World War II, and before 1952, the brown tree snake was accidentally transported from its native range in the South Pacific to Guam, probably as a stowaway in ship cargo. As a result of abnormally abundant prey resources on Guam and the absence of natural predators...
Behind the energetics of the asiatic clam, Potamocorbula amurensis, in San Francisco Bay
Janet K. Thompson, Francis Parchaso
2001, Interagency Ecological Program Newsletter (14) 30-30
The Asian clam (Potamocorbula amurensis) has played a key role in the food web of northern San Francisco Bay since its invasion in the fall of 1986. It has been associated with a dramatic decline in primary production, loss of a zooplankton species and a native mysid shrimp, the probable...
Suggestions for presenting the results of data analyses
David R. Anderson, William A. Link, Douglas H. Johnson, Kenneth P. Burnham
2001, Journal of Wildlife Management (65) 373-378
We give suggestions for the presentation of research results from frequentist, information-theoretic, and Bayesian analysis paradigms, followed by several general suggestions. The information-theoretic and Bayesian methods offer alternative approaches to data analysis and inference compared to traditionally used methods. Guidance is lacking on the presentation of results under these alternative...
