Analysis of ground-water flow and saltwater encroachment in the shallow aquifer system of Cape May County, New Jersey
Frederick J. Spitz
1998, Water Supply Paper 2490
Cape May County, New Jersey, is on a natural peninsula that is virtually surrounded by saltwater. A calibrated quasi-three-dimensional sharp-interface model was used to simulate ground-water flow in the shallow aquifer system under two water-supply-development alternatives for a 30-year planning period. The alternatives involve modest increases in withdrawals in combination...

Cenozoic global sea level, sequences, and the New Jersey transect: Results from coastal plain and continental slope drilling
K.G. Miller, Gregory S. Mountain, J.V. Browning, M. Kominz, P. J. Sugarman, N. Christie-Blick, M.E. Katz, J.D. Wright
1998, Reviews of Geophysics (36) 569-601
The New Jersey Sea Level Transect was designed to evaluate the relationships among global sea level (eustatic) change, unconformity-bounded sequences, and variations in subsidence, sediment supply, and climate on a passive continental margin. By sampling and dating Cenozoic strata from coastal plain and continental slope locations, we show that sequence...
Microsatellite primers for Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus, the vector of avian malaria in Hawaii
Dina M. Fonseca, Carter T. Atkinson, Robert C. Fleischer
1998, Molecular Ecology (7) 1617-1619
The southern house mosquito, Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae), was introduced accidentally to Hawaii in 1826 (van Riper et al. 1986). There it eventually became the vector of avian malaria, Plasmodium relictum, a disease that severely limits the size and distribution of endemic forest bird populations in Hawaii (Atkinson et...
Desire to bargain and negotiation success: lessons about the need to negotiate from six hydropower disputes
Nina Burkardt, Berton Lee Lamb, Jonathan G. Taylor
1998, Environmental Management (22) 877-886
We investigated the notion that successful negotiations require that all parties to the dispute must have a desire to bargain. This desire is most likely to be present when the dispute exhibits ripeness and each party believes a bargained solution is the most cost-effective way to resolve differences. Structured interviews...
Summary of the Southwest Alluvial Basins Regional Aquifer-System Analysis in parts of Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas

1998, Professional Paper 1407-A
The Southwest Alluvial Basins Regional Aquifer-System Analysis in parts of Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas consists of 22 alluvial basins along and adjacent to the Rio Grande. Geochemistry, recharge, and ground-water quality in the San Luis Basin in Colorado, and the Albuquerque-Belen, Socorro, and Mesilla basins in New Mexico are...
Population models of burrowing mayfly recolonization in western Lake Erie
Charles P. Madenjian, Don W. Schloesser, Kenneth A. Krieger
1998, Ecological Applications (8) 1206-1212
Burrowing mayflies, Hexagenia spp. (H. limbata and H. rigida), began recolonizing western Lake Erie during the 1990s. Survey data for mayfly nymph densities indicated that the population experienced exponential growth between 1991 and 1997. To predict the time to full recovery of the mayfly population, we fitted logistic models, ranging in carrying capacity from...
Contaminants in ospreys from the Pacific Northwest: I. Trends and patterns in polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -dibenzofurans in eggs and plasma
J. E. Elliott, M. M. Machmer, Charles J. Henny, L. K. Wilson, R. J. Norstrom
1998, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (35) 620-631
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) eggs were collected from 1991 to 1997 at nests (n = 121) upstream and downstream of bleached kraft pulp mills and at reference sites in the Fraser and Columbia River drainage systems of British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. Blood samples were collected from nestling ospreys during the 1992 breeding...

The paper geologic map of the western part of the Cut Bank 1° x 2° quadrangle, northwestern Montana (Harrison and others, 1998) was digitized and initially attributed by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) and remitted to the U.S. Geological Survey for further attribution and publication of the...
Using chloride and chlorine-36 as soil-water tracers to estimate deep percolation at selected locations on the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site, Washington
Edmund A. Prych
1998, Water Supply Paper 2481
A chloride mass-balance method and a chlorine-36 isotope bomb-pulse method were used to estimate long-term average rates of deep percolation at at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site. Because the bomb-pulse method typically gives an upper limit and the mass-balance method may underestimate, estimates from both methods probably bracket...

Migration of fluids beneath Yellowstone caldera inferred from satellite radar interferometry
Charles W. Wicks Jr., Wayne R. Thatcher, Daniel Dzurisin
1998, Science (282) 458-462
Satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar is uniquely suited to monitoring year-to-year deformation of the entire Yellowstone caldera (about 3000 square kilometers). Sequential interferograms indicate that subsidence within the caldera migrated from one resurgent dome to the other between August 1992 and August 1995. Between August 1995 and September 1996, the...
Killer whale predation on sea otters linking oceanic and nearshore ecosystems
J. A. Estes, M. T. Tinker, T. M. Williams, D.F. Doak
1998, Science (282) 473-476
After nearly a century of recovery from overhunting, sea otter populations are in abrupt decline over large areas of western Alaska. Increased killer whale predation is the likely cause of these declines. Elevated sea urchin density and the consequent deforestation of kelp beds in the nearshore community demonstrate that the...

Critical evaluation and selection of standard state thermodynamic properties for chromium metal and its aqueous ions, hydrolysis species, oxides, and hydroxides
James W. Ball, D. Kirk Nordstrom
1998, Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data (43) 895-918
This review critically evaluates the reported thermodynamic data on chromium metal, oxides, hydroxides, free aqueous ions, and hydrolysis species. Several discrepancies and inconsistencies have been uncovered and resolved to improve equilibrium calculations for chemical modeling and related engineering purposes. A revised set of data is derived from evaluation of electrochemical...

Fluid exchange between surficial waters and groundwater, as well as the processes that control this exchange, are of critical concern to water management districts and planners. Digital high-resolution seismic systems were used to collect geophysical data from 30 lakes of north-central Florida. Although using seismic profile data in the past...
Seasonal variation in habitat use by marsh fishes

We used I-m2 throw traps to examine habitat use by smallsized fishes within a mosaic of wet prairies and sloughs in the headwaters of the St. Johns River, Florida between August 1992 and November 1995. Estimates of total fish density and biomass varied temporally, but did not differ significantly between...
