March was characterized by unusually warm tempera­ tures in the south with a remarkable 70°F recorded on March 26 in Rhode Island and 77°F on March 30 in Boston, Massachusetts. This warm tropical air mass resulted in the appearances of several over-anxious migrants including an amazing four Eastern Kingbirds. April was cloudy and damp with little favorable weather for early overshoots, so characteristic of the Region. May started off cool and cloudy with migrating warblers slightly behind schedule, especially in Nova Scotia.

We had over 90 registered participants, and even though Mother Nature decided to throw some wicked weather at the West, the majority of registrants and presenters made it through blizzards and floods to attend the conference. We were fortunate to have generous presenters who were willing to fill in and do additional presentations for presenters who were unable to get through the weather to make the conference. Instead of detailing the highlights of the conference, we have included several of the presenter’s abstracts below.

MOUNTAIN ANTS OF NEVADA George C. Wheeler' and Jeanette Wheeler' Abstract.- Introductory topics include "The High Altitude Environment," "Ants Recorded from High Alti- tudes," "Adaptations of Ants," "Mountain Ants of North America," and "The Mountains of Nevada." A Nevada mountain ant species is defined as one that inhabits the Coniferous Forest Biome or Alpine Biome or the ecotone between them. A table gives a taxonomic list of the mountain ants and shows the biomes in which they occur; it also indicates whether they occur in lower biomes. This list comprises 50 species, which is 28 percent of the ant fauna we have found in Nevada. Only 30 species (17 percent of the fauna) are exclusively montane; these are in the genera Mymiica, Manica, Stenamma, Leptothorax, Camponottis, Lasiiis, and Formica. The article concludes with "Records for Nevada Mountain Ants." All known records for each species are cited.

  • Analysis of Fault Rupture Potential Resulting from Large-Scale Groundwater Withdrawal: Application to Spring Valley, Nevada
    University of Nevada, Reno Analysis of fault rupture potential resulting from large-scale groundwater withdrawal: application to Spring Valley, Nevada A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Hydrogeology By Brian Anderson Dr. Rina Schumer / Thesis Advisor August 2016 © by Brian J. Anderson 2016 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by BRIAN J. ANDERSON Entitled Analysis of fault rupture potential resulting from large-scale groundwater withdrawal: application to Spring Valley, Nevada be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Rina Schumer, Ph.D., Advisor Scott McCoy, Ph.D., Committee Member William Hammond, Ph.D., Committee Member Alexandra Lutz, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School August, 2016 i Abstract Hydrospheric mass changes create subsurface stress perturbations on a scale that can trigger seismic events or accelerate frequency of seismicity on proximal faults. For example, groundwater pumping has been implicated in the 2011 Mw 5.1 earthquake in Lorca, Spain and the 2010 Mw 7.1 El-Mayor Cucapah earthquake in northern Baja California. Previous work on effects of pumping on seismicity is retrospective. We propose a method to assess changes in rupture potential on faults near areas of large-scale groundwater withdrawal before pumping begins. Changes in potentiometric head due to pumping predicted by (MODFLOW) groundwater flow models can be used as the change in surface load input for analytical solutions from Boussinesq [1885] to resolve changes in the subsurface state of stress.
