The avian paramyxovirus is found across the planet, infect wild and domestic birds, and sometimes lead to disease outbreaks, but according to a new study led by the USGS, wild ducks and shorebirds do not appear to carry these viruses, which can lead to Newcastle disease that sickens or kills poultry.

Scientists collecting data on South Cascade Glacier, Washington StateScientists collecting data on South Cascade Glacier, Washington State. South Cascade Glacier is located in a north-northwest facing valley near the crest of the Cascade Range in northwest Washington state. In 1959 scientists with the USGS began collecting mass balance data on South Cascade Glacier, now one of five "benchmark glaciers" in the US.
