Southern California landslides-an overview
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3107
Southern California lies astride a major tectonic plate boundary defined by the San Andreas Fault and numerous related faults that are spread across a broad region. This dynamic tectonic environment has created a spectacular landscape of rugged mountains and steep-walled valleys that compose much of the region’s scenic beauty. Unfortunately,...
Water use for irrigation in Michigan, 2001

Effects of spray-irrigated municipal wastewater on a small watershed in Chester County, Pennsylvania
Curtis L. Schreffler, Daniel G. Galeone
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3092
Spray irrigation is a method for disposing of secondary treated municipal wastewater by spraying it on the land surface (fig. 1). The sprayed wastewater either evaporates into the air, soaks into the soil, or percolates through the soil and recharges the ground water. Land application of wastewater has advantages over...

2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3054
A study by the US Geological Survey, the University of New Hampshire, and the Maine Department of Marine Resources showed that commercial mussel dragging poses a severe and long-lasting threat to eelgrass (Zostera marina). Dragging can damage large areas, with individual drag scars up to 79 acres in size...

Using radar to understand migratory birds and their habitats: Critical needs for the Gulf of Mexico
Gregory J. Smith, Wylie Barrow
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3067
Nearly all Neotropical migratory landbird species of the eastern United States as well as many western species use Louisiana and the northern Gulf of Mexico coast during their transcontinental migrations each spring and fall. Radar has determined that hundreds of millions of birds make the nocturnal crossing of the Gulf...

Migratory bird pathways and the Gulf of Mexico: Importance of Louisiana's coast
Gregory J. Smith, Wylie Barrow
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3069
Because of its geographic position, Louisiana plays an important role in the hemispheric-scale phenomenon known as the Nearctic-Neotropical bird migration system. Each year millions of landbirds migrate across or near to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Birds migrate in large, broad fronts that sometimes exceed 2 million individuals,...
