Elevation-bathymetry models for the Lake Superior region

New land-bathymetry and land-lake surface elevation models were produced for the Lake Superior region. The models combine Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) topography data with lake surface elevation and bathymetry data sets for Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron. The SRTM data set was chosen because it spans the international border and has relatively high resolution at 30 m cell size. These data were subsequently used for aeromagnetic data processing and gravity data reduction.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.3 Transects with Long-Term Linear Regression Rate Calculations for the Exposed Central Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska between the Hulahula River and the Colville River

This dataset consists of long-term (~63 years) shoreline change rates for the north coast of Alaska between the Hulahula River and the Colville River. Rate calculations were computed within a GIS using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.3, an ArcGIS extension developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Long-term rates of shoreline change were calculated using a linear regression rate-of-change method based on available shoreline data between 1947 and 2010. A reference baseline was used as the originating point for the orthogonal transects cast by the DSAS software. The transects intersect each shoreline establishing measurement points, which are then used to calculate long-term rates.

Switchgrass cellulosic potential in the eastern Nebraska

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) has been evaluated as one potential source for cellulosic biofuel feedstocks. Planting switchgrass in marginal croplands and waterway buffers can reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, and improve regional ecosystem services (i.e., it serves as a potential carbon sink). In this study, we integrated marginal croplands, highly erodible cropland buffers, and future crop expansion information to develop a switchgrass biofuel potential ensemble map for current and future croplands in eastern Nebraska.

Cell data - Linear and nonlinear effects of temperature and precipitation on ecosystem properties in tidal saline wetlands

Macroclimatic drivers, such as temperature and rainfall regimes, greatly influence ecosystem structure and function in tidal saline wetlands. Understanding the ecological influence of macroclimatic drivers is important because it provides a foundation for anticipating the effects of climate change. Tidal saline wetlands include mangrove forests, salt marshes, and salt flats, which occupy similar geomorphic settings but different climatic regimes. However, most global- or regional-scale analyses have treated these wetlands as independent systems. Here we used climate and literature-derived ecological data from all three systems, collected across targeted regional-scale macroclimatic gradients, to test hypotheses regarding macroclimatic controls of tidal saline wetland ecosystem properties, specifically canopy height, above-ground biomass, productivity, decomposition, soil carbon density, and soil carbon accumulation. We quantified region-specific climate based ecological thresholds for three data-rich transition zones including eastern North America, eastern Australia, and western Gulf of Mexico. The results of our analyses suggest that small macroclimatic changes might have large ecological implications near climatic thresholds. Our results also demonstrate that relationships between macroclimatic drivers and the ecosystem attributes of tidal saline wetlands are likely to be region-specific. The ecosystem-climate linkages revealed by our analysis should help to characterize important climatic thresholds for ecological regime shifts and could also be used to identify and target for conservation critical transition areas that may be especially sensitive to climate change.

Stormwater runoff and associated pollutants from urban areas in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed represent a serious impairment to local streams and downstream ecosystems, despite urbanized land comprising only 7% of the Bay watershed area. Excess nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment affect local streams in the Bay watershed by causing problems ranging from eutrophication and toxic algal blooms to reduced oxygen levels and loss of biodiversity. Traditional management of urban stormwater has primarily focused on directing runoff away from developed areas as quickly as possible. More recently, stormwater best management practices (BMPs) have been implemented in a low impact development (LID) manner on the landscape to treat stormwater runoff closer to its source.The objective of this research was to use a modeling approach to compare total watershed pollutant removal efficiency (TWPRE) of two watersheds with differing spatial patterns of SW BMP design (traditional and LID), and determine if LID SW BMP design offered an improved water quality benefit.

Survey of the amphibians of Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, South Carolina and Georgia, U.S.A.

From 2004 to 2006, we used a variety of sampling techniques to survey the amphibians of Savannah National Wildlife Refuge (SNWR), a large protected area straddling the lower portions of the Savannah River on the border between South Carolina and Georgia, USA. We documented 22 amphibian species, 15 frogs and 7 salamanders, with a possible 23rd species present. Amphibians occupied a variety of habitats and appeared tolerant of the mildly acidic and low oxygen conditions of many of the wetlands. This initial survey provides a historic baseline for monitoring amphibian populations as areas adjacent to the refuge.

Data for Radium Mobility and the Age of Groundwater in Public-drinking-water Supplies from the Cambrian-Ordovician Aquifer System, North-Central USA

High radium (Ra) concentrations in potable portions of the Cambrian-Ordovician (C-O) aquifer system were investigated using water-quality data and environmental tracers ( 3H, 3Hetrit, SF6 , 14C and 4Herad) of groundwater age from 80 public-supply wells (PSWs). Groundwater ages were estimated by calibration of tracers to lumped parameter models and ranged from modern (1 Myr) in the most downgradient, confined portions of the potable system. More than 80 and 40 percent of mean groundwater ages were older than 1000 and 50,000 yr, respectively. Anoxic, Fe-reducing conditions and increased mineralization develop with time in the aquifer system and mobilize Ra into solution resulting in the frequent occurrence of combined Ra (Rac = 226Ra + 228Ra) at concentrations exceeding the USEPA MCL of 185 mBq/L (5 pCi/L). The distribution of the three Ra isotopes comprising total Ra (Rat = 224Ra + 226Ra + 228Ra) differed across the aquifer system. The concentrations of 224Ra and 228Ra were strongly correlated and comprised a larger proportion of the Rat concentration in samples from the regionally unconfined area, where arkosic sandstones provide an enhanced source for progeny from the 232Th decay series. 226Ra comprised a larger proportion of the Rat concentration in samples from downgradient confined regions. Concentrations of Rat were significantly greater in samples from the regionally confined area of the aquifer system because of the increase in 226Ra concentrations there as compared to the regionally unconfined area. 226Ra distribution coefficients decreased substantially with anoxic conditions and increasing ionic strength of groundwater (mineralization), indicating that Ra is mobilized to solution from solid phases of the aquifer as sorption capacity is diminished. The amount of 226Ra released from solid phases by alpha-recoil mechanisms and retained in solution increases relative to the amount of Ra sequestered by adsorption processes or co-precipitation with barite as sorption capacity and the concentration of Ba decreases. Although 226Ra occurred at concentrations greater than 224Ra or 228Ra, the ingestion exposure risk was greater for 228Ra owing to its greater toxicity. In addition, 224Ra added substantial alpha-particle radioactivity to potable samples from the C-O aquifer system. Thus, monitoring for Ra isotopes and gross-alpha-activity (GAA) is important in upgradient, regionally unconfined areas as downgradient, and GAA measurements made within 72 h of sample collection would best capture alpha-particle radiation from the short-lived 224Ra.
