Coastal systems and low-lying areas Coastal systems and low-lying areas
Since the IPCC Third Assessment Report (TAR), our understanding of the implications of climate change for coastal systems and low-lying areas (henceforth referred to as ‘coasts’) has increased substantially and six important policy-relevant messages have emerged. Coasts are experiencing the adverse consequences of hazards related to climate and sea level (very high confidence). Coasts...

Sperm cryopreservation in fish and shellfish Sperm cryopreservation in fish and shellfish
Initial success in sperm cryopreservation came at about the same time for aquatic species and livestock. However, in the 50-plus years since then cryopreserved sperm of livestock has grown into a billion-dollar global industry, while despite work in some 200 species with well over 200 published reports, cryopreservation of aquatic species sperm remains essentially a research activity...

Towards quantitative monitoring of semivolatile organic compounds using passive air samplers: Chapter 6 Towards quantitative monitoring of semivolatile organic compounds using passive air samplers: Chapter 6
Passive air samplers can be used to measure the air concentration of various semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) with reasonable reliability. To use passive air samplers to measure atmospheric concentrations of pollutants, calibration data are required. Calibration data include parameters such as sampling rates, sampler/air partition coefficients and loss rate constants. These...

Monitoring the storm tide of Hurricane Wilma in southwestern Florida, October 2005 Monitoring the storm tide of Hurricane Wilma in southwestern Florida, October 2005
Temporary monitoring stations employing non-vented pressure transducers were used to augment an existing U.S. Geological Survey coastal monitoring network to document the inland water levels related to the storm tide of Hurricane Wilma on the southwestern coast of Florida. On October 22, 2005, an experimental network consisting of 30 temporary stations was deployed over 90 miles of...

Summary of water-surface-elevation data for 116 U.S. Geological Survey lake and reservoir stations in Texas and comparison to data for water year 2006 Summary of water-surface-elevation data for 116 U.S. Geological Survey lake and reservoir stations in Texas and comparison to data for water year 2006
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with numerous Federal, State, municipal, and local agencies, currently (2007) collects data for more than 120 lakes and reservoirs in Texas through a realtime, data-collection network. The National Water Information System that processes and archives water-resources data for the Nation provides a central source for retrieval of real-time...
