Evidence of mating readiness in certain bats killed by wind turbines
Bats consistently die at wind turbines during late-summer and autumn. Migratory, tree-roosting species
show increased susceptibility compared to other bats, yet the exact causes remain unknown. A hypothesized cause
with strong conservation implications is that migratory tree bats die at turbines while seeking mates around tall tree
like structures. In this pilot study we histologically examined

Laboratory simulated transport of microcystin-LR and cylindrospermopsin in groundwater under the influence of stormwater ponds: implications for harvesting of infiltrated stormwater
Water shortages in the southeastern United States have led to a need for more intensive management and usage of stormwater for beneficial uses such as irrigation. Harvesting of infiltrated stormwater from horizontal wells in sandy aquifer sediments beneath stormwater ponds has emerged as an alternative in need of evaluation. Cyanobacteria may proliferate in stormwater ponds; cyanotoxins produced b

A comparison between SWI and SEAWAT: the importance of dispersion, inversion and vertical anisotropy
SWI and SEAWAT are both computer codes designed to model variable-density systems. One of the options in SWI is to model Dupuit interface flow, where freshwater and seawater are separated by an interface. In this paper we compare seawater intrusion model results of SWI to model results of SEAWAT, which simulates full variable-density flow and transport. Results indicate that SWI is valid for many

A practitioner's tool for assessing glide crack activity
Glide cracks can result in full-depth glide avalanche release. Avalanches from glide cracks are notoriously difficult to forecast, but are a reoccurring problem in a number of different avalanche forecasting programs across a range of snow climates. Despite this, there is no consensus for how to best manage, mitigate, or even observe glide cracks and the potential resultant avalanche activity. It
