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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dynamics of Utah-Juniper Woodlands in Wyoming httpwwwpaztcnwrusgsgovwyoming

Woodlands dominated by Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) have been expanding into

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

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

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
