Water-quality assessment in the Trinity River Basin, Texas; pesticide occurrence in streams, winter and spring 1994
Allison A. Shipp
1995, Fact Sheet 160-95
A consistent, basin-wide set of data for streams in the Trinity River Basin is necessary to provide a baseline for current conditions, to compare with historical data, and to provide a reference for future studies by the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. In addition, the basin-wide surveys begin the process...

1995, Water Resources Research (31) 983-993
Eleven equations for calculating evaporation were compared with evaporation determined by the energy budget method for Williams Lake, Minnesota. Data were obtained from instruments on a raft, on land near the lake, and at a weather station 60 km south of the lake. The comparisons were based on monthly values...

Technical clarity in inter-agency negotiations: Lessons from four hydropower projects
Nina Burkardt, Berton Lee Lamb, Jonathan G. Taylor, Terry J. Waddle
1995, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (31) 187-198
We investigated the effect of technical clarity on success in multi-party negotiations in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensing process. Technical clarity is the shared understanding of dimensions such as the geographic extent of the project, range of flows to be considered, important species and life stages, and variety...
Molecular and isotopic tracers used to examine sources of organic matter and its incorporation into the food webs of San Francisco Bay
Elizabeth A. Canuel, James E. Cloern, David B. Ringelberg, James B. Guckert, Greg H. Rau
1995, Limnology and Oceanography (40) 67-81
Multiple indicators (Chl a, C : N ratios, [δ13C]POC, and two classes of lipid biomarker compounds- sterols and phospholipid ester-linked fatty acids) were used to evaluate spatial and temporal variations in the origin of particulate organic matter (POM) in the San Francisco Bay (SFB) estuary. Comparisons were made between the...
Diagnostic modeling of trace metal partitioning in south San Francisco Bay

1995, Limnology and Oceanography (40) 345-358
The two-dimensional numerical model ELAmet was used to investigate the effect of adsorption kinetics on the apparent distribution coefficients of Cu, Cd, and Zn in south San Francisco Bay, California. The numerical experiments were designed to determine whether adsorption kinetics can control the basin-scale variability of the observed partitioning and...

1995, Conference Paper, Ecology and conservation of wolves in a changing world: Proceedings of the second North American symposium on wolves: Occasional Publication 35
During 1987-1991, 29 to 45 radio-collared caribou cows were monitored daily during calving each year and their calves were radio-collared (n = 147 calves) to investigate calf production and survival. We determined characteristics of wolf predation on caribou calves and, utilizing information from a companion wolf study, evaluated the role...
Seasonal-to-interannual fluctuations in surface temperature over the Pacific: effects of monthly winds and heat fluxes
Daniel R. Cayan, Arthur J. Miller, Tim P. Barnett, Nicholas E. Graham, Jack N. Ritchie, Josef M. Oberhuber
1995, Book chapter, Natural climate variability on decade-to-century time scales
Monthly heat fluxes and wind stresses are used to force the Oberhuber isopycnic ocean general-circulation (OPYC) model of the Pacific basin over a two-decade period from 1970 to 1988. The surface forcings are constructed from COADS marine observations via bulk formulae. Monthly anomalies of the fluxes and stresses are...

1995, Marine Ecology Progress Series (126) 97-109
Rates of direct denitrification were measured using 15N isotope tchniques in intact sediment cores from fringe and basin mangroves in Terminos Lagoon, Mexico. Sediments were injected with 15NO3- and the distribution of 15N was measured over time in the head space, overlying water, and sediments. Experiments included an investigation of spatial variation in denitrification...

Hydrological and thermal response of lakes to climate: Description and modeling
Steven W. Hostetler
1995, Book chapter, Physics and chemistry of lakes
Lake systems continually respond to climatic conditions that vary over broad scales of space and time. The spatial distribution of lakes on the Earth’s surface is indicative of long-term patterns of atmospheric circulation, and the annual cycle of climate over lake basins is reflected in seasonal change in the size...
