<br />`Application of ecological indicators"
<br />by Dr. Gerald J. Niemi (UM-Duluth).
<br />originally published in the 2004
<br />`Annual Review of Ecology Evolution
<br />and Systematics" has generated a
<br />Fast Moving Fronts feature article
<br />in Thomson Reuters Science Watch
<br />November 2008 issue. Dr. Niemi's article
<br />has been recently identified by Essential
<br />Science Indicators as being among
<br />the highest cited papers in the field of
<br />Plant and Animal Science. Dr. Niemi's
<br />comments about his report can be found
<br />at http://sciencewatch.com/dr/fmf/2008
<br />/O8novfmf/08novfmfNiemET/.
<br />`Field Techniques for Estimating Water
<br />Fluxes Between Surface Water and
<br />Ground Water," USGS, edited by Donald
<br />O. Rosenberry and James W LaBaugh.
<br />This report focuses on measuring
<br />the flow of water across the interface
<br />between surface water and ground
<br />water, rather than the hydrogeological
<br />or geochemical processes that occur
<br />at or near this interface. The authors
<br />designed the report to make the reader
<br />aware of the breadth of approaches
<br />available for the study of the exchange
<br />between surface and ground water. The
<br />publication is available on the USGS
<br />website at: http://pubs.usgs.gov
<br />/tm/04d02/.
