A sea-level database for the Pacific coast of central North America
A database of published and new relative sea-level (RSL) data for the past 16 ka constrains the sea-level histories of the Pacific coast of central North America (southern British Columbia to central California). Our reevaluation of the stratigraphic context and radiocarbon age of sea-level indicators from geological and archaeological investigations yields 600 sea-level index points and 241 se...
متن کاملEcological Objectives for Stream and Watershed Restoration along the Pacific Coast of North America
In British Columbia, Canada, over a century of forest harvesting has severely degraded many streams and as a consequence has contributed to the impairment of some other valuable forest resources, especially salmon. Recognition of the problem of land-use alteration on stream channels resulted in efforts to protect and restore stream channels to bring back stream and riparian ecosystems to their ...
متن کاملSea Star Wasting Disease in Asterias forbesi along the Atlantic Coast of North America
As keystone species, sea stars serve to maintain biodiversity and species distribution through trophic level interactions in marine ecosystems. Recently, Sea Star Wasting Disease (SSWD) has caused widespread mass mortality in several sea star species from the Pacific Coast of the United States of America (USA) and Asterias forbesi on the Atlantic Coast. A densovirus, named Sea Star associated D...
متن کاملRayleigh-Wave Multipathing along the West Coast of North America
We have created a movie of surface ground motion for the 3 November 2002 Denali fault earthquake based on spectral-element simulations using crustal model CRUST2.0, mantle model S20RTS, topography and bathymetry model ETOPO5, and a finite-fault slip model. The movie features two anomalous wave packets that travel along the west coast of the North American plate following offgreat-circle paths. ...
متن کاملCauses of accelerating sea level on the East Coast of North America
The tide-gauge record from the North American East Coast reveals significant accelerations in sea level starting in the late twentieth century. The estimated post-1990 accelerations range from near zero to ∼0.3 mm yr-2. We find that the observed sea level acceleration is well modeled using several processes: mass change in Greenland and Antarctica as measured by the Gravity Recovery and Climate...
