Antibiotic, pharmaceutical, and wastewater-compound data for Michigan, 1998-2005
Sheridan Kidd Haack
2010, Scientific Investigations Report 2009-5217
Beginning in the late 1990's, the U.S. Geological Survey began to develop analytical methods to detect, at concentrations less than 1 microgram per liter (ug/L), emerging water contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, personal-care chemicals, and a variety of other chemicals associated with various human and animal sources. During 1998-2005, the U.S....
Modeling the human invader in the United States
Thomas J. Stohlgren, Catherine S. Jarnevich, Chandra P. Giri
2010, Journal of Applied Remote Sensing (4)
Modern biogeographers recognize that humans are seen as constituents of ecosystems, drivers of significant change, and perhaps, the most invasive species on earth. We found it instructive to model humans as invasive organisms with the same environmental factors. We present a preliminary model of the spread of modern humans in...

The GAMA Priority Basins Project is being conducted by the...
Power to detect trends in Missouri River fish populations within the Habitat Assessment Monitoring Program
Janice L. Bryan, Mark L. Wildhaber, Dan W. Gladish
2010, Open-File Report 2010-1011
As with all large rivers in the United States, the Missouri River has been altered, with approximately one-third of the mainstem length impounded and one-third channelized. These physical alterations to the environment have affected the fish populations, but studies examining the effects of alterations have been localized and for short...

Tracking tracer breakthrough in the hyporheic zone using time‐lapse DC resistivity, Crabby Creek, Pennsylvania
Jonathan E. Nyquist, Laura Toran, Allison C. Fang, Robert J. Ryan, Donald O. Rosenberry
2010, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Symposium on the Application of Gephysics to Engrineering and Envrionmental Problems (SAGEEP)
Characterization of the hyporheic zone is of critical importance for understanding stream ecology, contaminant transport, and groundwater‐surface water interaction. A salt water tracer test was used to probe the hyporheic zone of a recently re‐engineered portion of Crabby Creek, a stream located near Philadelphia, PA. The tracer solution was tracked...
Rheologic and structural controls on the deformation of Okmok volcano, Alaska: FEMs, InSAR, and ambient noise tomography
Timothy Masterlark, Matthew M. Haney, Haylee Dickinson, Cheryl Searcy, T. Fournier
2010, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (115)
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data indicate that the caldera of Okmok volcano, Alaska, subsided more than a meter during its eruption in 1997. The large deformation suggests a relatively shallow magma reservoir beneath Okmok. Seismic tomography using ambient ocean noise reveals two low‐velocity zones (LVZs). The shallow LVZ corresponds...
Hydraulic modeling of mussel habitat at a bridge-replacement site, Allegheny River, Pennsylvania, USA
John W. Fulton, Chad R. Wagner, Megan E. Rogers, Gregory F. Zimmerman
2010, Ecological Modelling (221) 540-554
The Allegheny River in Pennsylvania supports a large and diverse freshwater-mussel community, including two federally listed endangered species, Pleurobema clava(Clubshell) and Epioblasma torulosa rangiana (Northern Riffleshell). It is recognized that river hydraulics and morphology play important roles in mussel distribution. To assess the hydraulic influences of bridge replacement on mussel habitat, metrics...

Volcanogenic uranium deposits: Geology, geochemical processes, and criteria for resource assessment
J. Thomas Nash
2010, Open-File Report 2010-1001
Felsic volcanic rocks have long been considered a primary source of uranium for many kinds of uranium deposits, but volcanogenic uranium deposits themselves have generally not been important resources. Until the past few years, resource summaries for the United States or the world generally include volcanogenic in the broad category...
