eBird Data Highlight Shifts in Wetland Resources Structuring Waterfowl and Shorebird Abundance. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWetland losses in the American West, driven by accelerated drying, overlapped multiple shorebird and waterfowl life histories. Trends were indicators of declining availability and increased uncertainty in waterbird habitat networks. Losses were pervasive in semi‐permanent wetlands, with 19%–48% reductions over the past two decades.

Contributions of Great Salt Lake Playa- and Industrially Sourced Priority Pollutant Metals in Dust Contribute to Possible Health Hazards in the Communities of Northern Utah. [PDF]
GeohealthAbstract Communities and ecosystems of northern Utah, USA receive particulate pollution from anthropogenic activity and dust emissions from sources including the Great Salt Lake (“the Lake”) playa. In addition to affecting communities, anthropogenic pollution is delivered to the Lake's playa sediments, which are eroded during dust events.

Maximizing the potential benefits of beaver restoration for fire resilience and water storage. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Restoring populations of native keystone species can increase landscape resilience to global change when those species create or modify ecosystems. The North American beaver (Castor canadensis) is an ecosystem engineer that increases river water storage and residence time, increasing fire resilience at the landscape level.

Geologic map of the east-central Meadow Valley Mountains, and implications for reconstruction of the Mormon Peak detachment, Nevada [PDF]
, 2017 The role of low-angle faults in accommodating extension within the upper crust remains controversial because the existence of these faults markedly defies extant continuum theories of how crustal faults form, and once initiated, how they continue to slip.

Unexpected pathway for intercontinental movement into the Nearctic revealed by phylogenetic analyses
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 562-574, July 2025.Abstract Much of North America's freshwater biodiversity is derived from Palearctic lineages. Isopods of the Holarctic family Asellidae are among the most widespread and diverse freshwater crustaceans, but Nearctic species are poorly studied. We examined the evolutionary history of the family, utilizing Sanger sequencing of mitochondrial and nuclear ...

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Agricultural regions present a particularly difficult set of challenges during interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) displacement time series analyses due to the existence of abrupt transitions in land use over short spatial scales and rapid temporal changes associated with different stages of the agricultural cycle.

Prediction of the First Harvesting Date of Creole Onions: In the Palo Verde Valley of California
California Agriculture, 1975 Harvesting onions for dehydration in California starts in the Palo Verde and Imperial Valleys in May or June, proceeds north, and terminates in the Tule Lake area in October or November. Consequently, processing plants do not operate from November to May.
