Air Pollution
Air Pollution Threat to Human Heart | TopNews New Zealand
httpwwwtopnewsnetnzcontent212286-air-pollution-threat-human-heart Air pollution can act as a catalyst for heart attacks A recent study by Tim Nawrot of Hasselt University in Belgium has unleashed another dimension of heart attack claiming that air pollution can be a potential threat to human heart With medical experts citing alcohol coffee and physical exertion as the potential reasons of heart stroke this study has sent alarming signals Citing the concern over the newly unveiled factor the World Health Organization (WHO) has reportedly claimed that air pollution can be a serious threat for human health There are serious risks to health from exposure to PM and O3 in many cities of developed and developing countries It is possible to derive a quantitative relationship between the pollution levels and specific health outcomes (increased mortality or morbidity) This allows invaluable insights into the health improvements that could be expected if air pollution is reduced Even relatively low concentrations of air pollutants have been related to a range of adverse health effects Poor indoor air quality may pose a risk to the health of over half of the worldrsquos population In homes where biomass fuels and coal are used for cooking and heating PM levels may be 10ndash50 times higher than the guideline values

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Location North Cascade National Park WA USA
Photographer Richard W Sheibley III US Geological Survey Overview Oct 10 2008 An ecosystem approach to management recognizes the interrelated nature of air land water and all living beings Rather than geopolitical boundaries and departmental divisions this approach calls for creative partnerships that look at natural boundaries such as watersheds as the unit of management An ecosystem approach involves the following principles
It includes the whole system and not just parts of it
Focuses on interrelationships among the components of the environment and between living and non-living thingsrsquo Includes consideration of the natural environment society and economy Is based on natural geographic units such as watersheds Incorporates the concepts of sustainability Respects species other than humans and generations other than the present

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Primary factors in water pollution Chemical Pollution (Arsenic Contaminated Sediment Disinfection Byproducts Dredged Material) Lead Mercury Nutrient Pollution Microbial Pathogens (MDBP) Pesticides Oil and Petroleum Chemicals Thermal Pollution
Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Location North Cascade National Park WA USA
Photographer Richard W Sheibley III US Geological Survey Overview Oct 10 2008 An ecosystem approach to management recognizes the interrelated nature of air land water and all living beings Rather than geopolitical boundaries and departmental divisions this approach calls for creative partnerships that look at natural boundaries such as watersheds as the unit of management An ecosystem approach involves the following principles
It includes the whole system and not just parts of it
Focuses on interrelationships among the components of the environment and between living and non-living thingsrsquo Includes consideration of the natural environment society and economy Is based on natural geographic units such as watersheds Incorporates the concepts of sustainability Respects species other than humans and generations other than the present

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Location North Cascade National Park WA USA
Photographer Richard W Sheibley III US Geological Survey Overview Oct 10 2008 An ecosystem approach to management recognizes the interrelated nature of air land water and all living beings Rather than geopolitical boundaries and departmental divisions this approach calls for creative partnerships that look at natural boundaries such as watersheds as the unit of management An ecosystem approach involves the following principles
It includes the whole system and not just parts of it
Focuses on interrelationships among the components of the environment and between living and non-living thingsrsquo Includes consideration of the natural environment society and economy Is based on natural geographic units such as watersheds Incorporates the concepts of sustainability Respects species other than humans and generations other than the present

their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Air Pollution
Air Pollution Threat to Human Heart | TopNews New Zealand
httpwwwtopnewsnetnzcontent212286-air-pollution-threat-human-heart Air pollution can act as a catalyst for heart attacks A recent study by Tim Nawrot of Hasselt University in Belgium has unleashed another dimension of heart attack claiming that air pollution can be a potential threat to human heart With medical experts citing alcohol coffee and physical exertion as the potential reasons of heart stroke this study has sent alarming signals Citing the concern over the newly unveiled factor the World Health Organization (WHO) has reportedly claimed that air pollution can be a serious threat for human health There are serious risks to health from exposure to PM and O3 in many cities of developed and developing countries It is possible to derive a quantitative relationship between the pollution levels and specific health outcomes (increased mortality or morbidity) This allows invaluable insights into the health improvements that could be expected if air pollution is reduced Even relatively low concentrations of air pollutants have been related to a range of adverse health effects Poor indoor air quality may pose a risk to the health of over half of the worldrsquos population In homes where biomass fuels and coal are used for cooking and heating PM levels may be 10ndash50 times higher than the guideline values

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Woodlands
Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Light Pollution
Light Pollution
Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

Energy Generation
Hydropower is our largest renewable electricity source
The importance of hydropower as a source of electricity generation varies by geographic region While hydropower accounted for 6 of total US electricity generation in 2010 it provided over half of the electricity in the Pacific Northwest Because hydroelectric generation relies on precipitation it varies widely from month to month and year to year httpwwweiagov US Energy

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

Energy Generation
Hydropower is our largest renewable electricity source
The importance of hydropower as a source of electricity generation varies by geographic region While hydropower accounted for 6 of total US electricity generation in 2010 it provided over half of the electricity in the Pacific Northwest Because hydroelectric generation relies on precipitation it varies widely from month to month and year to year httpwwweiagov US Energy

Bakken Oil Production Bakken formation oil and gas drilling activity mirrors development in the Barnett Drilling and production activity in
the Bakken shale play built up gradually and eventually led to rapid growth North Dakota is now the Nations fourth
largest oil-producing State due mainly to Bakken production gains According to the States Department of Mineral
Resources total North Dakota oil production averaged 445 thousand barrels per day (bbld) in August 2011 up from
an average of 344 thousand bbld at the end of 2010 Source EIA based on data from HPDI LLC
Natural Gas Production New Northeast natural gas pipeline capacity comes on line httpwwweiagovtodayinenergydetailcfmid=4750
Four interstate natural gas pipeline projects in the Northeast US began commercial service in 2011 adding

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Description This picture was taken while recovering passive atmospheric deposition samplers used to evaluate the nutrient loading of alpine lakes in Washingtons National Parks
Location North Cascade National Park WA USA
Photographer Richard W Sheibley III US Geological Survey Overview Oct 10 2008 An ecosystem approach to management recognizes the interrelated nature of air land water and all living beings Rather than geopolitical boundaries and departmental divisions this approach calls for creative partnerships that look at natural boundaries such as watersheds as the unit of management An ecosystem approach involves the following principles
It includes the whole system and not just parts of it
Focuses on interrelationships among the components of the environment and between living and non-living thingsrsquo Includes consideration of the natural environment society and economy Is based on natural geographic units such as watersheds Incorporates the concepts of sustainability Respects species other than humans and generations other than the present

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Canyons - The Grand Canyon
httpwwwflickrcomphotosgrand_canyon_nps
Principal Investigator Kenneth L Cole USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station
Summary
The ice age (Pleistocene) vegetation of the Grand Canyon has been determined through the analysis of plant
fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Primary factors in water pollution Chemical Pollution (Arsenic Contaminated Sediment Disinfection Byproducts Dredged Material) Lead Mercury Nutrient Pollution Microbial Pathogens (MDBP) Pesticides Oil and Petroleum Chemicals Thermal Pollution
Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Woodlands
Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

fossils preserved in caves and fossil packrat middens The past zonation of vegetation along the Colorado
River from the Gulf of California to the state of Colorado has been reconstructed from these fossil deposits
During the ice ages plants escaped colder climates by growing at then-wetter sites about 2500 feet lower
than they do today Only the most extremly arid deserts those now with less than 4 inches of rain per year
supported deserts during the ice ages Most North American deserts were occupied by woodlands of juniper
andor pinyon pine
httpsbscwrusgsgovcprsresearchprojectsglobal_changegrdcanyasp
About ten thousand year ago the ice ages ended and the Holocene era began The vegetation history and
development of modern plant communities during the Holocene are not yet well understood because of the
large changes occurring as the climate warmed and plant species migrated upward and northward toward
their modern distributions This project is now reconstructing the Holocene history of vegetation in the
Grand Canyon and elsewhere on the southern Colorado Plateau Knowledge of the past vegetational
response to major warming is required to estimate the future response of vegetation to global warming

Energy Generation
Hydropower is our largest renewable electricity source
The importance of hydropower as a source of electricity generation varies by geographic region While hydropower accounted for 6 of total US electricity generation in 2010 it provided over half of the electricity in the Pacific Northwest Because hydroelectric generation relies on precipitation it varies widely from month to month and year to year httpwwweiagov US Energy

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by

Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important

httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Energy Generation
Hydropower is our largest renewable electricity source
The importance of hydropower as a source of electricity generation varies by geographic region While hydropower accounted for 6 of total US electricity generation in 2010 it provided over half of the electricity in the Pacific Northwest Because hydroelectric generation relies on precipitation it varies widely from month to month and year to year httpwwweiagov US Energy

Bakken Oil Production Bakken formation oil and gas drilling activity mirrors development in the Barnett Drilling and production activity in
the Bakken shale play built up gradually and eventually led to rapid growth North Dakota is now the Nations fourth
largest oil-producing State due mainly to Bakken production gains According to the States Department of Mineral
Resources total North Dakota oil production averaged 445 thousand barrels per day (bbld) in August 2011 up from
an average of 344 thousand bbld at the end of 2010 Source EIA based on data from HPDI LLC
Natural Gas Production New Northeast natural gas pipeline capacity comes on line httpwwweiagovtodayinenergydetailcfmid=4750
Four interstate natural gas pipeline projects in the Northeast US began commercial service in 2011 adding
nearly 15 billion cubic feet per day of capacity (see map) and over 181 miles of new pipe
Average daily natural gas demand last winter in the Northeast was about 16 billion cubic feet per day

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

The overall goal of the Acid Rain Program is to achieve significant environmental and public health benefits through
reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) -- the primary causes of acid rain
To achieve this goal at the lowest cost to society the program employs both traditional and innovative market-based
approaches for controlling air pollution In addition the program encourages energy efficiency and pollution

Description This picture was taken while recovering passive atmospheric deposition samplers used to evaluate the nutrient loading of alpine lakes in Washingtons National Parks
Location North Cascade National Park WA USA
Photographer Richard W Sheibley III US Geological Survey Overview Oct 10 2008 An ecosystem approach to management recognizes the interrelated nature of air land water and all living beings Rather than geopolitical boundaries and departmental divisions this approach calls for creative partnerships that look at natural boundaries such as watersheds as the unit of management An ecosystem approach involves the following principles
It includes the whole system and not just parts of it
Focuses on interrelationships among the components of the environment and between living and non-living thingsrsquo Includes consideration of the natural environment society and economy Is based on natural geographic units such as watersheds Incorporates the concepts of sustainability Respects species other than humans and generations other than the present

This overview of the wetland treatment area shows the anaerobic treatment cell in the foreground with
aerobic cells in the center The results of study of the site by Indiana Geological Survey showed that this
reclamation approach has favorably altered both the hydrological and hydrochemical conditions on site in
such away that rain water has a shorter residence time and is less exposed to acid-generating conditions

Land Cover Trends Research Gets an Enthusiastic Review
A peer review panel of university scholars and other experts recently praised the USGS Land Cover Trends
research project as having the potential to be very useful indeed essential to various research
communities Such as climate change biodiversity resource management and planning resource security
and disaster planning This complex long term project the first comprehensive analysis of national land
cover change ever conducted has the ambitious goal of establishing the extent nature and causes of change
to the Nations land surface Scheduled to complete the initial 30-year assessment in 2010 the project is
intended to provide a foundation for predicting the impacts of land change as well as modeling future land
changes

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Energy Generation
Hydropower is our largest renewable electricity source
The importance of hydropower as a source of electricity generation varies by geographic region While hydropower accounted for 6 of total US electricity generation in 2010 it provided over half of the electricity in the Pacific Northwest Because hydroelectric generation relies on precipitation it varies widely from month to month and year to year httpwwweiagov US Energy

Bakken Oil Production Bakken formation oil and gas drilling activity mirrors development in the Barnett Drilling and production activity in
the Bakken shale play built up gradually and eventually led to rapid growth North Dakota is now the Nations fourth
largest oil-producing State due mainly to Bakken production gains According to the States Department of Mineral
Resources total North Dakota oil production averaged 445 thousand barrels per day (bbld) in August 2011 up from
an average of 344 thousand bbld at the end of 2010 Source EIA based on data from HPDI LLC
Natural Gas Production New Northeast natural gas pipeline capacity comes on line httpwwweiagovtodayinenergydetailcfmid=4750
Four interstate natural gas pipeline projects in the Northeast US began commercial service in 2011 adding
nearly 15 billion cubic feet per day of capacity (see map) and over 181 miles of new pipe
Average daily natural gas demand last winter in the Northeast was about 16 billion cubic feet per day

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Light Pollution
Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

WHAT IS THE BOREAL FOREST
The boreal forest is the largest and northern most forest ecosystem in the world The boreal forest is the predominant ecosystem in interior Alaska Viewed from the air this forest looks like a giant patchwork quilt or mosaic Large patches of scraggly black spruce trees on poorly drained and permafrost soils contrast with hillsides of light green birch aspen and tall white spruce

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

The overall goal of the Acid Rain Program is to achieve significant environmental and public health benefits through
reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) -- the primary causes of acid rain
To achieve this goal at the lowest cost to society the program employs both traditional and innovative market-based
approaches for controlling air pollution In addition the program encourages energy efficiency and pollution

Land Cover Trends Research Gets an Enthusiastic Review
A peer review panel of university scholars and other experts recently praised the USGS Land Cover Trends
research project as having the potential to be very useful indeed essential to various research
communities Such as climate change biodiversity resource management and planning resource security
and disaster planning This complex long term project the first comprehensive analysis of national land
cover change ever conducted has the ambitious goal of establishing the extent nature and causes of change
to the Nations land surface Scheduled to complete the initial 30-year assessment in 2010 the project is
intended to provide a foundation for predicting the impacts of land change as well as modeling future land
changes

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

WASHINGTON August 9 2011 ndash Recreational activities on national forests and grasslands continue to make large economic impacts on Americas rural communities contributing $145 billion annually to the US economy
According to the National Visitor Use Monitoring report released today by Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell national forests attracted 1708 million recreational visitors and sustained approximately 223000 jobs in rural communities this past year
National forests also provide economic relief for vacationers Fewer than half of the US Forest Services 17000 developed sites charge any fees for visitors The report reveals that 94 percent of visitors were satisfied with their experience on the national forests
Our national forests are some of the most beautiful and adventure-filled places in the world said Tidwell The national forests give Americans a chance to build life-long memories for the price of food and gas Youd be hard pressed to find any vacation destinations that offer better value

WHAT IS THE BOREAL FOREST
The boreal forest is the largest and northern most forest ecosystem in the world The boreal forest is the predominant ecosystem in interior Alaska Viewed from the air this forest looks like a giant patchwork quilt or mosaic Large patches of scraggly black spruce trees on poorly drained and permafrost soils contrast with hillsides of light green birch aspen and tall white spruce

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Fossil Fuels and CO2
Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide
US Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1990-2014 Report
httpswww3epagovclimatechangeghgemissionsusinventoryreporthtml
A variety of human activities lead to the emission (sources) and removal (sinks) of carbon dioxide (CO2)
The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas in power plants automobiles
industrial facilities and other sources Fossils fuels - Nutrient Pollution httpswwwepagovnutrientpollutionsources-and-
solutions-fossil-fuels A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production metal production and the use
of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO2 emissions from new and
existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources CCS is a three-step process that includes
Capture of CO2 from power plants or industrial processes
Transport of the captured and compressed CO2 (usually in pipelines)
Underground injection and geological sequestration (aka - storage) of the CO2 into deep underground rock formations
Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into
biomass (eg wood leaves etc) Deforestation conversely can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries
Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere and then
injected deep underground

Location North Cascade National Park WA USA
Photographer Richard W Sheibley III US Geological Survey Overview Oct 10 2008 An ecosystem approach to management recognizes the interrelated nature of air land water and all living beings Rather than geopolitical boundaries and departmental divisions this approach calls for creative partnerships that look at natural boundaries such as watersheds as the unit of management An ecosystem approach involves the following principles
It includes the whole system and not just parts of it
Focuses on interrelationships among the components of the environment and between living and non-living thingsrsquo Includes consideration of the natural environment society and economy Is based on natural geographic units such as watersheds Incorporates the concepts of sustainability Respects species other than humans and generations other than the present

Land Cover Trends Research Gets an Enthusiastic Review
A peer review panel of university scholars and other experts recently praised the USGS Land Cover Trends
research project as having the potential to be very useful indeed essential to various research
communities Such as climate change biodiversity resource management and planning resource security
and disaster planning This complex long term project the first comprehensive analysis of national land
cover change ever conducted has the ambitious goal of establishing the extent nature and causes of change
to the Nations land surface Scheduled to complete the initial 30-year assessment in 2010 the project is
intended to provide a foundation for predicting the impacts of land change as well as modeling future land
changes

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Primary factors in water pollution Chemical Pollution (Arsenic Contaminated Sediment Disinfection Byproducts Dredged Material) Lead Mercury Nutrient Pollution Microbial Pathogens (MDBP) Pesticides Oil and Petroleum Chemicals Thermal Pollution
Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Description This picture was taken while recovering passive atmospheric deposition samplers used to evaluate the nutrient loading of alpine lakes in Washingtons National Parks
Location North Cascade National Park WA USA
Photographer Richard W Sheibley III US Geological Survey Overview Oct 10 2008 An ecosystem approach to management recognizes the interrelated nature of air land water and all living beings Rather than geopolitical boundaries and departmental divisions this approach calls for creative partnerships that look at natural boundaries such as watersheds as the unit of management An ecosystem approach involves the following principles
It includes the whole system and not just parts of it
Focuses on interrelationships among the components of the environment and between living and non-living thingsrsquo Includes consideration of the natural environment society and economy Is based on natural geographic units such as watersheds Incorporates the concepts of sustainability Respects species other than humans and generations other than the present

Land Cover Trends Research Gets an Enthusiastic Review
A peer review panel of university scholars and other experts recently praised the USGS Land Cover Trends
research project as having the potential to be very useful indeed essential to various research
communities Such as climate change biodiversity resource management and planning resource security
and disaster planning This complex long term project the first comprehensive analysis of national land
cover change ever conducted has the ambitious goal of establishing the extent nature and causes of change
to the Nations land surface Scheduled to complete the initial 30-year assessment in 2010 the project is
intended to provide a foundation for predicting the impacts of land change as well as modeling future land
changes

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Location North Cascade National Park WA USA
Photographer Richard W Sheibley III US Geological Survey Overview Oct 10 2008 An ecosystem approach to management recognizes the interrelated nature of air land water and all living beings Rather than geopolitical boundaries and departmental divisions this approach calls for creative partnerships that look at natural boundaries such as watersheds as the unit of management An ecosystem approach involves the following principles
It includes the whole system and not just parts of it
Focuses on interrelationships among the components of the environment and between living and non-living thingsrsquo Includes consideration of the natural environment society and economy Is based on natural geographic units such as watersheds Incorporates the concepts of sustainability Respects species other than humans and generations other than the present

News and Highlights
Land Cover Trends Research Gets an Enthusiastic Review
A peer review panel of university scholars and other experts recently praised the USGS Land Cover Trends
research project as having the potential to be very useful indeed essential to various research
communities Such as climate change biodiversity resource management and planning resource security
and disaster planning This complex long term project the first comprehensive analysis of national land
cover change ever conducted has the ambitious goal of establishing the extent nature and causes of change
to the Nations land surface Scheduled to complete the initial 30-year assessment in 2010 the project is
intended to provide a foundation for predicting the impacts of land change as well as modeling future land
changes

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Land Cover Trends Research Gets an Enthusiastic Review
A peer review panel of university scholars and other experts recently praised the USGS Land Cover Trends
research project as having the potential to be very useful indeed essential to various research
communities Such as climate change biodiversity resource management and planning resource security
and disaster planning This complex long term project the first comprehensive analysis of national land
cover change ever conducted has the ambitious goal of establishing the extent nature and causes of change
to the Nations land surface Scheduled to complete the initial 30-year assessment in 2010 the project is
intended to provide a foundation for predicting the impacts of land change as well as modeling future land
changes

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Primary factors in water pollution Chemical Pollution (Arsenic Contaminated Sediment Disinfection Byproducts Dredged Material) Lead Mercury Nutrient Pollution Microbial Pathogens (MDBP) Pesticides Oil and Petroleum Chemicals Thermal Pollution
Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Woodlands
Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Light Pollution
Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Land Cover Trends is a research project focused on understanding the rates trends causes and
consequences of contemporary US land use and land cover change
News and Highlights
Land Cover Trends Research Gets an Enthusiastic Review
A peer review panel of university scholars and other experts recently praised the USGS Land Cover Trends
research project as having the potential to be very useful indeed essential to various research
communities Such as climate change biodiversity resource management and planning resource security
and disaster planning This complex long term project the first comprehensive analysis of national land
cover change ever conducted has the ambitious goal of establishing the extent nature and causes of change
to the Nations land surface Scheduled to complete the initial 30-year assessment in 2010 the project is
intended to provide a foundation for predicting the impacts of land change as well as modeling future land
changes

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Primary factors in water pollution Chemical Pollution (Arsenic Contaminated Sediment Disinfection Byproducts Dredged Material) Lead Mercury Nutrient Pollution Microbial Pathogens (MDBP) Pesticides Oil and Petroleum Chemicals Thermal Pollution
Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Marshes
Salt Marshes and Mangrove Forests
Mangroves forming a wall along Florida inlets
httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsmangroveshtml
Salt marshes are a mosaic of snaking channels called tidal creeks that fill with seawater during high
tides and drain during low tides Fish species including flounder and mullet live most of their lives
in marsh creeks
Salt marshes are salty because they are flooded by seawater every day They are marshy because
their ground is composed of peat Peat is made of decomposing plant matter that is often several
feet thick Peat is waterlogged root-filled and very spongy Because salt marshes are waterlogged
and contain lots of decomposing plant material oxygen levels in the peat are extremely lowmdasha
condition called hypoxia Hypoxia promotes the growth of bacteria which produce the rotten-egg
smell that is attributed to marshes and mud flats
Salt marshes are covered with salt-tolerant plants or halophytes like salt hay black rush and
smooth cordgrass
Many mangrove forests can be recognized by their dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees
appear to be standing on stilts above the water This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the
daily rise and fall of tides which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day The
roots also slow the movement of tidal waters causing sediments to settle out of the water and build
up the muddy bottom

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Primary factors in water pollution Chemical Pollution (Arsenic Contaminated Sediment Disinfection Byproducts Dredged Material) Lead Mercury Nutrient Pollution Microbial Pathogens (MDBP) Pesticides Oil and Petroleum Chemicals Thermal Pollution
Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Plains
USGS photo of typical prairie grassland
The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the stable core (craton) of North America This area had formed
when several small continents collided and welded together well over a billion years ago during the Precambrian
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks now form the basement of the Interior Plains and make up the stable
nucleus of North America With the exception of the Black Hills of South Dakota the entire region has low relief
reflecting more than 500 million years of relative tectonic stability The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and
OzarkOuachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent Era the Cenozoic The flatness of the
Interior Plains is a reflection of the platform of mostly flat-lying marine and stream deposits layed down in the
Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Primary factors in water pollution Chemical Pollution (Arsenic Contaminated Sediment Disinfection Byproducts Dredged Material) Lead Mercury Nutrient Pollution Microbial Pathogens (MDBP) Pesticides Oil and Petroleum Chemicals Thermal Pollution
Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

TOXIC RIVERS Gulch Colo (Upper Arkansas River Watershed) the location of USGS
IMAGE SOURCE PAGE httptoxicsusgsgovphoto_galleryaml_page4html The occurrence of toxic substances in surface and ground waters is a threat to human health and aquatic life
Contaminants from gasoline pesticides sewage cleaning solvents and trace metals are harmful to humans
in very low concentrations For example 1 gallon of trichloroethylene (a cleaning solvent) can contaminate
290 million gallons of water beyond safe drinking-water limits The General Accounting Office has stated
the dimensions and potential costs of cleaning up our environment are so great that without innovative
technologies we may find the solution cost prohibitive and impacting on our ability to address other national
needs By using current technologies the costs of remediating Superfund and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act sites Federal facilities and other known hazardous waste sites may total $750 billion over the
next 30 years (Russel and others 1991) The Toxic Substances Hydrology Program (Toxics Program) provides the unbiased earth science
information on the behavior of toxic substances in the Nations surface and ground waters that is needed to
avoid human exposure to develop effective remedial strategies and to prevent further contamination
The program has three major components
Intensive Site Investigations of specific types of toxic substances
Regional Investigations of the toxic substances related to typical land uses
Development of Methods for the collection analysis and interpretation of data related to toxic substances

Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Primary factors in water pollution Chemical Pollution (Arsenic Contaminated Sediment Disinfection Byproducts Dredged Material) Lead Mercury Nutrient Pollution Microbial Pathogens (MDBP) Pesticides Oil and Petroleum Chemicals Thermal Pollution
Per NOAA - Nutrient pollution now represents the largest pollution problem facing US coastal waters httpoceanservicenoaagovfactsnutpollutionhtml httpoceanservicenoaagoveducationkitsestuariesmediasupp_estuar09b_eutrohtml
EPA divides water pollution sources into two categories point and non-point Point sources of water pollution are stationary locations such as sewage treatment plants factories and ships Non-point sources are more diffuse and include agricultural runoff mining activities and paved roads Under the Clean Water Act the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States EPA works with state and local authorities to monitor pollution levels in the nations water and provide status and trend information on a representative variety of ecosystems httpwwwepagovebtpageswatewaterpollutionhtml httpcoralreefnoaagovthreatspollution

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Light Pollution
Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Swamps
Oscar Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia
He was the Okefenokee Swamps most popular resident until he died in the summer of 2007
But now Oscar the alligator will be immortalized in the swamp he called home for nearly a century Bone by
bone the aged star has been brought back to life thanks to Don Berryhill who along with Jim Brewer
pieced the bones together like a massive puzzle Oscar was estimated to be about 100 years old
Ive put together a lot of skeletons but nothing like this said Berryhill He says Oscar the alligator had
more than 500 bones in his body Theyre very old bones since he lived here long before the park was built
in 1945 Today the vast majority of the Swamp Parks alligator population are directly linked to Oscar as
offspringa part of Oscar lives on through them httpwwwokeswampcomabout-the-parkoscar
Swamps are forested wetlands They may border a river with moving water or occupy a pond of still water
They may even be dry in some parts of the year The plants that live in swamps have special adaptions that
enable them to tolerate high water levels Approximately 10 of the land area in Florida is covered by
forested wetlands Visit cypress swamps at Highlands Hammock State Park Blue Cypress Water

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Light Pollution
Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Woodlands
Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Light Pollution
Light Pollution
Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

The Universidad Complutense de Madrid group of Extragalactic Astrophysics and Astronomical
Instrumentation (GUAIX) member of the cluster of Global Change and New Energies in the
International Excellence Campus Moncloa have combined night images of the Earth obtained from
the International Space Station (ISS) with the objective of make mosaics to study the light
pollution in large areas Light pollution is evident in these images and they have great impact on human health httpsguaixfisucmesnode1557

Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important

Light Pollution
Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

the International Space Station (ISS) with the objective of make mosaics to study the light
pollution in large areas Light pollution is evident in these images and they have great impact on human health httpsguaixfisucmesnode1557

Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

Woodlands
Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming
Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into
grassland and steppe vegetation during the past century in central and southwestern
Wyoming This expansion has occurred during a period of intensive grazing and climate
change and is superimposed on a longer-term range expansion of the species that has
been occurring for several thousand years Juniper woodland expansion has important
ecological consequences and management implications

Light Pollution
Nitrate Radical - Video ndash City Limits httpwwwdarkskyorgindexphpoption=com_contentampview=articleampid=640
httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024375full
Bright city lights exacerbate air pollution according to a study by US scientists Their research indicates that the glare thrown up into the sky interferes with chemical reactions These reactions would normally help clean the air during the night of the fumes emitted by motor
cars and factories during the day
The study was presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco
All the people going about their business in a city put a complex cocktail of chemicals into the air From the tailpipes of cars to the chimneys of factories it makes for a heady mix of molecules that nature then has to try to clean up httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022016GL067745pdf
Nature uses a special form of nitrogen oxide called the nitrate radical to break down chemicals that would otherwise go on to form the smog and ozone that can make city air such an irritant on the chest httponlinelibrarywileycomdoi1010022015JD024121full
This cleansing normally occurs in the hours of darkness because the radical is destroyed
by sunlight it only shows up at night

The Universidad Complutense de Madrid group of Extragalactic Astrophysics and Astronomical
Instrumentation (GUAIX) member of the cluster of Global Change and New Energies in the
International Excellence Campus Moncloa have combined night images of the Earth obtained from
the International Space Station (ISS) with the objective of make mosaics to study the light
pollution in large areas Light pollution is evident in these images and they have great impact on human health httpsguaixfisucmesnode1557
