The oil and gas resource potential of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 1002 area, Alaska The oil and gas resource potential of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 1002 area, Alaska
In anticipation of the need for scientific support for policy decisions and in light of the decade-old perspective of a previous assessment, the USGS has completed a reassessment of the petroleum potential of the ANWR 1002 area. This was a comprehensive study by a team of USGS scientists in collaboration on technical issues (but not the assessment) with colleagues in other agencies and

Evaluations of plastic mesh tubes for protecting conifer seedlings from pocket gophers in three western states Evaluations of plastic mesh tubes for protecting conifer seedlings from pocket gophers in three western states
The efficacy of plastic mesh tubes for protecting conifer seedlings from pocket gopher damage was evaluated on three national forest lands in three states. In each area, cohorts of 640 protected seedlings and 640 unprotected seedlings (3,840 total) were individually monitored for damage, survival, and growth twice each summer for 5 yr after planting. Substantial differences were found...

The group considered four major topics: (1) projected "new" contaminants of future concern; (2) future trends with contaminants currently known to be issues for marine mammals; (3) future needs to improve and insure...

Implications of climate change for Alaska's seabirds Implications of climate change for Alaska's seabirds
Seabirds are prominent and highly visible components of marine ecosystems that will be affected by global climate change. The Bering Sea region is particularly important to seabirds; populations there are larger and more diverse than in any similar region in North America—over 90% of seabirds breeding in the continental United States are found in this region. Seabirds, so named because...
