Groundwater governance can be defined as the system of formal and informal rules, rule-making systems and actor networks at all levels of society that are set up to steer societies towards the control, protection and socially acceptable utilization of gr
Although the United States Geological Survey (USGS) data center freely provided pre-processed Landsat scenes, pre-processing techniques were applied to minimize the distortions in hilly areas of the study area. Hence, all Landsat imageries were topographically corrected using the non-Lambertian model fo...
This year, USGS is working with the State Climatologist to apply novel modeling tools and a USGS-developed drought metric to quantify impacts of the “disappearing snowpack.” USGS is also conducting assessments of ecological drought impacts and of wildfire effects on water resources and aquatic ecos...

Specifically, we aimed to (1) develop a comprehensive research method of integrating ES bundles into landscape management; (2) identify spatiotemporal changes in ESs and ES bundles; (3) explore the major social–ecological determinants of the landscape functional zones; and (4) provide suggestions...
Pacific salmon range data were from the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (Fig. 1). The study region covers ~623,000 km2 across British Columbia, Canada and Alaska, USA and ~20% of the total North American range of Pacific salmon. Glacier outlines Outlines for the 45,...

Although our results showed that ontogenetic shifts may differ between subspecies of a single species, the causes and consequences of such a variation remain unknown and require further research. Unlike Kumar et al.26, we found no difference in the size of the home range during the breeding ...
The Waterways Experiment Station Implicit Flooding Model (WIFM) was one of the first hydrodynamic models developed by Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) in 1983, to predict changes in salinity distribution due to alternative dredge disposal practices in the Mississippi Sound and adjacent areas ...
