Foraging ecology as related to the distribution of planktivorous auklets in the Bering Sea Foraging ecology as related to the distribution of planktivorous auklets in the Bering Sea
We review recent accounts of the foraging ecologies of five species of small auklets found in the Bering Sea. These birds eat a wide variety of zooplankton and micronekton. Least Auklets Aethia pusilla and Whiskered Auklets A. pygmaea, as far as is known, primarily eat copepods, whereas Created Auklets A. cristatella appear to specialize on euphausiids, at least during the breeding...

Three-dimensional lithostratigraphic model at Yucca Mountain, Nevada: A framework for fluid transport modeling and engineering design Three-dimensional lithostratigraphic model at Yucca Mountain, Nevada: A framework for fluid transport modeling and engineering design
A three-dimensional lithostratigraphic model of the central block of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, illustrates how some activities can serve both site characterization and design and construction of the Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF). Site-characterization activities supported by this model include characterizing the three-dimensional geometry of lithologic units and faults, and providing...

Application of a geographic information system in analyzing the occurrence of atrazine in groundwater of the mid-continental United States Application of a geographic information system in analyzing the occurrence of atrazine in groundwater of the mid-continental United States
The US Geological Survey, US Department of Agriculture, and US Environmental Protection Agency are conducting research and regional assessments in support of policy alternatives intended to protect water resources from agricultural chemical contamination. The mid-continent was selected because of the intense row crop agriculture and associated herbicide application in this region. An...
