The National Park Service and the University of Washington will collaborate in a project to summarize Nisqually glacier changes over the past century and offer predictions for future changes, under various climate change scenarios. The Nisqually glacier is among the most accessible in the United States, and surveys have been regularly made (since 1931) to determine changes in the elevation of the surface, along 3 lateral transects. These long-running data will be examined and analyzed from the perspective of other glacier monitoring projects, and on-going climate change. The results will be interpreted in several contexts including: (1) glacier dynamics; (2) climate change; (3) glacier mass balance; and, most importantly,...

We trapped small mammals at two sites in Badlands National Park, Pennington County, South Dakota from 2013-2017; two sites in Larimer County, Colorado from 2010-2011; and four sites in Adams County, Idaho from 2014-2017. Each site contained at least one or more treated plots (deltamethrin dust applied to burrows or bait stations for flea control) paired with one or more non-treated plots. We trapped Peromyscus mice in all three states. We trapped Microtus voles in Colorado and South Dakota. We trapped Chaetodipus mice in Colorado and South Dakota. We trapped Reithrodontomys mice only in Colorado. We trapped paired treated and non-treated plots simultaneously within each site, with traps opened in the evening and...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
