  • Big Sur Fire Study Winter 2008-2009
    Big Sur Fire Study Winter 2008-2009 Final Report January 19, 2010 Submitted by: Bridget Hoover, Director Lisa Emanuelson, Volunteer Monitoring Coordinator Gary Conley, Water Quality Analyst Water Quality Protection Program Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Acknowledgements Special thanks to the MBNMS SIMoN program for funding this study and to the volunteers who committed their time to sampling the rivers and creeks in Big Sur, CA. 2 Introduction The Basin Complex forest fire was ignited in Big Sur, California by lightning strikes on June 21, 2008. The fire burned over 160,000 acres and was 100% contained on July 27, 2008. Over 460 miles of stream channel were within the burn zone1. The Chalk Fire began on September 27, 2008, was contained on October 30, 2008, and burned just over 16,270 acres. The watershed containing the Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve (Control) is located between the two fires and was not burned (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Burn severity map for the Basin Complex fire with monitoring sites. The Chalk fire is highlighted in pink. Because of the severe terrain of the fire area, much of the fire suppression was conducted by air. Fire retardants were dropped from airplanes and helicopters to suppress the fire. The fire retardants used by the U.S. Forest Service contain about 85 percent water, 10 percent fertilizer, and 5 percent other ingredients: colorant (iron oxide - rust, or fugitive color that fades with exposure to sunlight), thickener (natural gum and clay), corrosion inhibitors, stabilizers, and bactericides2. Depending on the quantity dropped and the flow of the stream, the fertilizers may cause toxicity to aquatic organisms.

  • Experiences During the Louisiana Gulf Oil Spill Jay Holcomb
    Volume 56, Number 3 November 2010 Experiences During the Louisiana Gulf Oil Spill ◆ Jay Holcomb In February 1971, two tankers collided beneath the Golden Gate Bridge spilling 900,000 gallons of crude oil into San Fran- cisco Bay. Little was known about oiled-bird care but volunteers from all over the bay showed up to try. Out of 7,000 oiled birds, 300 birds survived. Within months, the International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC) was formed. The primary goals of the IBRRC were to develop oiled wildlife cleaning and rehabilitation techniques, provide ongoing research, and provide oiled wildlife response management capabilities during oil spills. In 2001 the IBRRC moved from Aquatic Park in Berkeley to its 12,000 square foot reha- bilitation facility in Fairfield shared with the California Department of Fish and Game. Dr. Sharon K.

  • California Dreaming
    California Dreaming Department of Geology and Geological Engineering University of North Dakota Spring Break Field Trip Guidebook 2006 1 Preface and Itinerary This guidebook was prepared by students who accompanied Dexter Perkins on a trip to California in March 2006. It is really a combination of two different trips, together designed to provide a view of a "cross-section of Earth's crust." There are probably too many stops described here for a single trip, but we present them in an order that is feasible if you have two weeks or so of time. day 1 Arrive in San FRancisco, pick up cars, and proceed north to the first stop at the Ring Mtn. Open Space Preserve in Tibuon. Here you will see various lithologies associated with ophiolites. Continue on to camp in one of the parks near Bodega Bay – Doran Beach is especially nice. day 2 Start with a visit to the classic blueschist locality at Ward Cr., near Cazadero. See additional references listed below. Then, in the afternoon, visit the eclogite/blueschist on the beach just north of Jenner. Return to campground for the night. day 3 Drive south 5 hours to a campground near Pinnacles National Monument. The Pinnacles Campground on the east side of the monument is nice but expensive. (Alternatively, rustic camping is free in the Clear Creek Rec. Area near the New Idria serpentinite – approach from the south). Be sure to drive Hwy 1 south of Bodega Bay all the way south, rather than going inland. Stop at Pt. Reyes along the way, if time permits.
