Hydrologic and Aquatic Ecology Studies at Clear Lake, California
The USGS California Water Science Center conducts a variety of research activities at Clear Lake, California, including surface-water monitoring and water quality and aquatic habitat studies.
Monitoring and Modeling of Nutrients and Other Water-Quality Constituents in Tributaries to Clear Lake, California
Clear Lake, the largest natural lake entirely within California, has a severe problem with harmful algal blooms (HABs). HABs can be detrimental to aquatic life because when the algae dies, sinks, and decays, the lake is deprived of the dissolved oxygen that fish need to breathe. A driving factor of these conditions are the nutrient loads being carried into the lake by soil erosion and the...
Suspended-Solids Concentrations in San Francisco Bay, California
Suspended solids are an important component of San Francisco Bay, California (USA) because they transport adsorbed toxic substances, provide habitat for benthic organisms, limit light availability and photosynthesis, and deposit in ports and waterways which require dredging. The U.S. Geological Survey has established a network of eight sites in San Francisco Bay at which suspended-solids...
Atmospheric Deposition Contributions to Mercury Yields in Select Watersheds in the Western United States and Canada
The atmosphere plays an important role in the delivery to and cycling of mercury (Hg) in the environment and it can be a major source of Hg contamination to surface waters. Globally, atmospheric deposition of Hg is the primary source of Hg related concerns for human and ecosystem health (Fitzgerald and others, 1998). In California and other areas in the United States, Hg use in gold and silver...
Ground-Water Nitrate and Organic Carbon Inputs to the Lower San Joaquin River
This proposal addresses drinking water and aquatic habitat issues associated with nitrate and organic carbon in the lower San Joaquin River (SJR).
