From legacy contamination to watershed systems science: a review of scientific insights and technologies developed through DOE-supported research in water and energy security

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Water resources, including groundwater and prominent rivers worldwide, are under duress because of excessive contaminant and nutrient loads. To help mitigate this problem, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) has supported research since the late

Marginal value analysis reveals shifting importance of migration habitat for waterfowl under a changing climate

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
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

Metabolomic, photoprotective, and photosynthetic acclimatory responses to post‐flowering drought in sorghum

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
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

open access: yesGroundwater, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 346-362, May/June 2023., 2023
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.

Ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of the Hanford Nuclear Site in south-central Washington State

open access: yesZooKeys, 2014
In this paper we report on ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) collected from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and Hanford National Monument (together the Hanford Site), which is located in south-central Washington State.

The academic collaborative statistician: Research, training and evaluation

open access: yesStat, Volume 11, Issue 1, December 2022., 2022
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.

Ecological information and approaches needed for risk communication dialogs for acute or chronic environmental crises

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 42, Issue 11, Page 2408-2420, November 2022., 2022
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 ...

Contemporary Seismicity in and Around the Yakima Fold-and-Thrust Belt in Eastern Washington [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We examined characteristics of routinely cataloged seismicity from 1970 to the present in and around the Yakima fold-and-thrust belt (YFTB) in eastern Washington to determine if the characteristics of contemporary seismicity provide clues about regional ...

Hanford low‐activity waste glass composition‐temperature‐melt viscosity relationships

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 514-525, October 2022., 2022
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
