Ecological information and approaches needed for risk communication dialogs for acute or chronic environmental crises. [PDF]
Abstract Scientists, social scientists, risk communicators, and many others are often thrust into a crisis situation where they need to interact with a range of stakeholders, including governmental personnel (tribal, U.S. federal, state, local), local residents, and other publics, as well as other scientists and other risk communicators in situations ...

To quantify the marginal value of waterfowl habitat across the contiguous United States, we used a continental‐scale energetics‐based model of daily dabbling duck movement during the non‐breeding period in both a warm and a cold winter. We quantified the effect of removing each habitat grid cell on overall duck survival. We found that the importance of

Abstract Climate change is globally affecting rainfall patterns, necessitating the improvement of drought tolerance in crops. Sorghum bicolor is a relatively drought‐tolerant cereal. Functional stay‐green sorghum genotypes can maintain green leaf area and efficient grain filling during terminal post‐flowering water deprivation, a period of ~10 weeks ...

Evidence Based Estimation of Macrodispersivity for Groundwater Transport Applications
Abstract The scope of this work is to discuss the proper choice of macrodispersion coefficients in modeling contaminant transport through the advection dispersion equation (ADE). It is common to model solute concentrations in transport by groundwater with the aid of the ADE.

The academic collaborative statistician: Research, training and evaluation
Abstract Statisticians with a primary collaborative position at their academic institution have a unique role in combining domain science and statistical research and training and mentoring graduate students. As a result, it is important that their responsibilities be clearly understood by both the collaborative statisticians and their departments.

Hanford low‐activity waste glass composition‐temperature‐melt viscosity relationships
Abstract This study developed a model for predicting viscosity of alkali‐alumino‐borosilicate glass melts as functions of composition and temperature. The model is based on a total of 3935 viscosity‐temperature data from 574 glasses with viscosity values ranging from 2.53 to 7260 Poise (P) in the temperature range of 900–1260°C. Several different model

Plant sizes and shapes above and belowground and their interactions with climate
Summary Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and shapes remain poorly characterized across climate regimes. We investigated relationships among shoot and root system size and climate.

Hydrogeology of the uppermost confined aquifers underlying the Hanford Reservation [PDF]
This paper discusses the regional geology and hydrology of the Hanford Reservation with emphasis on the characteristics of the Lower Ringold Formation and the Columbia River Basalts and interbeds. These formations constitute the uppermost confined flow systems underlying the Hanford Reservation.

Environmental status of the Hanford reservation for 1970 [PDF]
Data are summarized on the radioactivity in environmental samples collected from various locations within the Hanford plant boundaries during 1970. Data are included on the content of /sup 90/Sr, /sup 32/P, /sup 46/Sc, /sup 51/ Cr, /sup 65/Zn, /sup 131/I, /sup 2 4/Na and tritium in samples of water from the Columbia River; the total BETA activity in ...

Environmental status of the Hanford reservation for January--June 1969 [PDF]
Data are presented on the radioactivity in environmental samples collected within the Hanford plant boundaries during the first six months of 1969. Data are included on the total BETA activity and content of /sup 90/Sr and tritium in samples of Columbia River water; the total BETA activity in samples of drinking water; the total alpha and BETA activity
