Host Fish Identification and Early Life Thermal Requirements for the Federal Endangered Winged Mapleleaf Mussel
Mark Steingraeber, Teresa J. Newton
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3103
The winged mapleleaf mussel (Quadrula fragosa, WML) is a Federal endangered species historically inhabiting at least 34 river systems in 12 Midwestern states. Only four populations are currently known to exist, including one confirmed reproducing population in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (NSR) bordering Minnesota and Wisconsin. Recovery efforts...
U.S. Geological Survey Aids Federal Agencies in ObtainingCommercial Satellite and Aerial Imagery
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3117
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is a leading U.S. Federal civil agency in the implementation of the civil aspects of the Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP). The USGS is responsible for collecting inter-agency near-term requirements, establishing an operational infrastructure, and supporting the policy and other Federal agencies....
Mount St. Helens erupts again: Activity from September 2004 through March 2005
Jon J. Major, William E. Scott, Carolyn Driedger, Dan Dzurisin
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3036
Eruptive activity at Mount St. Helens captured the world’s attention in 1980 when the largest historical landslide on Earth and a powerful explosion reshaped the volcano, created its distinctive crater, and dramatically modified the surrounding landscape. Over the next 6 years, episodic extrusions of lava built a large dome in...
Landsat: A global land-observing program
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3130
Landsat represents the world’s longest continuously acquired collection of space-based land remote sensing data. The Landsat Project is a joint initiative of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) designed to gather Earth resource data from space. NASA developed and launched the spacecrafts, while...
Translocation of Endangered Laysan Ducks to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (2004-5)
Michelle Reynolds
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3128
BACKGROUND Island ecosystems throughout the Pacific have undergone catastrophic species loss, largely due to the effects of alien or non-native species. Rats, in particular, pose significant threats to native species. In Hawai`i, the appearance of rats (which are not native to Hawai`i) in the subfossil record coincides with the disappearance of...
Depicting coastal Louisiana land loss
Gregory J. Smith
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3101
The Coastal Louisiana Land Loss map depicts historical (1932-2000) changes of land to water and water to land, as well as projected changes (2000-2050). Projections are based on the assumption of no future restoration....
USGS Releases New Digital Aerial Products
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3074
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) has initiated distribution of digital aerial photographic products produced by scanning or digitizing film from its historical aerial photography film archive. This archive, located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, contains thousands of rolls of film that contain...
Earth Observing-1 Extended Mission
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3060
Since November 2000, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) mission has demonstrated the capabilities of a dozen spacecraft sensor and communication innovations. Onboard the EO-1 spacecraft are two land remote sensing instruments. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) acquires data in spectral bands and at resolutions similar...
Inventory of Anchialine Pools in Hawaii's National Parks
David Foote
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3129
BACKGROUND Anchialine (?near the sea?) pools are rare and localized brackish waters along coastal lava flows that exhibit tidal fluctuations without a surface connection with the ocean (Fig. 1). In Hawai`i, these pools were frequently excavated or otherwise modified by Hawaiians to serve as sources of drinking water, baths and fish...
Ecology and diagnosis of introduced avian malaria in Hawaiian forest birds
Carter T. Atkinson
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3151
Avian malaria is a disease caused by species of protozoan parasites (Plasmodium) that infect birds. Related species commonly infect reptiles, birds and mammals in tropical and temperate regions of the world. Transmitted by mosquitoes, the parasites spend part of their lives in the red blood cells of birds (Figure 1)....
Occupancy models to study wildlife
Larissa Bailey, Michael John Adams
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3096
Many wildlife studies seek to understand changes or differences in the proportion of sites occupied by a species of interest. These studies are hampered by imperfect detection of these species, which can result in some sites appearing to be unoccupied that are actually occupied. Occupancy models solve this problem and...
Naturally Occurring Arsenic in Ground Water, Norman, Oklahoma, 2004, and Remediation Options for Produced Water
S. Jerrod Smith, Scott Christenson
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3111
In 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviewed the arsenic drinking water standard for public water supplies. Considering the available research and statistics on the health effects of arsenic ingestion, the EPA reduced the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for public drinking water from 50 micrograms per liter (?g/L) to...
Hurricane hazards — A national threat
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3121
Hurricanes bring destructive winds, storm surge, torrential rain, flooding, and tornadoes. A single storm can wreak havoc on coastal and inland communities and on natural areas over thousands of square miles. In 2005, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma demonstrated the devastation that hurricanes can inflict and the importance of hurricane hazards...
Methods for monitoring the effects of grazing management on bank erosion and channel morphology, Fever River, Pioneer Farm, Wisconsin, 2004
Marie C. Peppler, Faith A. Fitzpatrick
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3134
Bank erosion is a natural process that occurs in meandering streams (Leopold and others, 1964); however, in the Midwestern United States, historical and present agricultural activities in uplands, riparian areas, and channels have increased erosion (Waters, 1995; Lyons and others, 2000; Simon and Rinaldi, 2000; and Knox, 2001). Reducing streambank...
