Sea-Level Rise and Subsidence: Implications for Flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana Sea-Level Rise and Subsidence: Implications for Flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana
Global sea-level rise is projected to accelerate two-to four-fold during the next century, increasing storm surge and shoreline retreat along low-lying, unconsolidated coastal margins. The Mississippi River Deltaic Plain in southeastern Louisiana is particularly vulnerable to erosion and inundation due to the rapid deterioration of coastal barriers combined with relatively high rates of...

Using fecal glucocorticoids for stress assessment in Mourning Doves Using fecal glucocorticoids for stress assessment in Mourning Doves
Fecal glucocorticoid assays provide a potentially useful, noninvasive means to study physiological responses of wildlife to various stressors. The objective of our study was to validate a method for measuring glucocorticoid metabolites in Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) feces. We validated the assay using standard procedures (e.g., parallelism, recovery of exogenous corticosterone) to...

The Great Flood of 1993 on the Upper Mississippi River—10 years later The Great Flood of 1993 on the Upper Mississippi River—10 years later
Ten years ago, the upper Mississippi River Basin in the Midwestern United States experienced the costliest flood in the history of the United States. The flood came to be known as “ The Great Flood of 1993.”

Oxidation-reduction processes in ground water at Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, Dallas, Texas Oxidation-reduction processes in ground water at Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, Dallas, Texas
Concentrations of trichloroethene in ground water at the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant in Dallas, Texas, indicate three source areas of chlorinated solvents?building 1, building 6, and an off-site source west of the facility. The presence of daughter products of reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene, which were not used at the facility, south and southwest of the source...

Estimating the susceptibility of surface water in Texas to nonpoint-source contamination by use of logistic regression modeling Estimating the susceptibility of surface water in Texas to nonpoint-source contamination by use of logistic regression modeling
In the State of Texas, surface water (streams, canals, and reservoirs) and ground water are used as sources of public water supply. Surface-water sources of public water supply are susceptible to contamination from point and nonpoint sources. To help protect sources of drinking water and to aid water managers in designing protective yet cost-effective and risk-mitigated monitoring...

Analysis of tests of subsurface injection, storage, and recovery of freshwater in Lancaster, Antelope Valley, California Analysis of tests of subsurface injection, storage, and recovery of freshwater in Lancaster, Antelope Valley, California
Ground-water levels in Lancaster, California, declined more than 200 feet during the 20th century, resulting in reduced ground-water supplies and more than 6 feet of land subsidence. Facing continuing population growth, water managers are seeking solutions to these problems. Injection of imported, treated fresh water into the aquifer system when it is most available and least expensive...

Multiple stressor effects in relation to declining amphibian populations Multiple stressor effects in relation to declining amphibian populations
Original research discusses the protocols and approaches to studying the effects of multiple environmental stressors on amphibian populations and gives new perspectives on this complicated subject. This new publication integrates a variety of stressors that can act in concert and may ultimately cause a decline in amphibian populations. Sixteen peer-reviewed papers cover: Toxicity...
