Map of the North Slope of Alaska and Canada depicting the seven areas used to index annotations by location 4 INTRODUCTION The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR-A) encompasses a considerable portion of the North Slope of Alaska. Within or near NPR-A are five communities, Point Lay, Wainwright, Barrow, Atqasuk, and Nuiqsut, that use the area for harvesting renewable resources as part of their wage/subsistence economies. Consequently, subsistence users within these villages are concerned that resource development may interfere with traditional uses of resources or may have an adverse effect on populations of fish and wildlife. In an effort to continue economic growth on the North Slope, while minimizing adverse effects of resource development on important fish and wildlife resources, the North Slope Borough (NSB) is beginning development of comprehensive management plans for caribou, fishes, and their habitats within NPR-A. One component of this process is the preparation of an annotated bibliography of references pertaining to fish species found within NPR-A boundaries. The annotated bibliography contains selected references concerning 12 species of freshwater and anadromous fish found within NPR-A. Table 1 lists these species along with secondary species that were discussed in many of the references. The 12 primary species were selected based on their importance to the subsistence fisheries, their relative importance in northern aquatic ecosystems, and any unique physical requirements that a species may possess. References selected for inclusion in the annotated bibliography generally contained information discussing important life history functions (e.g., spawning or overwintering areas), basic biological parameters (e.g., length, age), distribution of the fish species, harvest of fish, or documented impacts of resource development on fish. References that did not directly discuss fish but contained information on habitat concerns (e.g., studies of water availability for proposed water withdrawals) or stream invertebrates were also included. The geographic scope of the annotated bibliography was to be restricted to waters within or bordering NPR-A. Because relatively few studies of fish have been conducted in NPR-A, it was necessary to include references on the primary species from other arctic areas to obtain sufficient information for most fish species. Thus, references on fish from the entire North Slope of Alaska were included, as well as references from the arctic areas of Canada's Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories. The Mackenzie River and a few of its major northern tributaries served as the eastern boundary of references included in this bibliography. In addition, a few references discussing one or more of the primary species in areas of Alaska outside of the North Slope were included. Several sources were used to locate and obtain references for inclusion in this annotated bibliography. References contained within the offices of the NSB Department of Wildlife Management in Barrow, and within the offices of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's (ADF&G) Divisions of Habitat, Sport Fish, and Subsistence in Fairbanks were examined for their applicability to this project. These sources provided many of the reviewed references. An electronic search of ADF&G's Division of Habitat library holdings in Anchorage was conducted and provided a list of references that were examined for applicability. Many of the reviewed references were located by examining Literature Cited sections of papers under review for this study. Several unpublished lists of references on arctic Table 1.

This annotated bibliography likely does not review all references on the fishes of NPR-A, but should reflect a review of most of the major studies conducted there and in nearby areas. Copies of the reviewed references are on file at the ADF&G Division of Habitat office in Fairbanks. Two indexes to the annotated bibliography are provided to allow the user to find those references that discuss fishes within a specific river system or geographic area, or that discuss a specific species of fish or life function of a specific species. The primary index was developed from the fish species reported in the annotated references. For each of the 12 primary species, those references containing information on a particular species are listed under that species by page number of their locations within the bibliography. In addition, those references dealing with particular species are further indexed by life function category. A list of the life function categories used in this index and the information contained in these categories are presented in Table 2. Indexing of annotations discussing secondary species is also presented by species but not by life function category. The second index was developed from the locations for which data on fishes are presented in the annotations. This index provides the user with the ability to identify those annotations that pertain to a specific region or river system (e.g., the Colville River drainage; the Point Lay-Wainwright area). The North Slope of Alaska and Canada was divided into seven areas to facilitate indexing. These areas are depicted in Figure 1 and are described below. Point Hope Area. This area contains the area of Point Hope and extends as far south as Kivalina. Major drainages within the area include the Kukpuk, Pitmigea, Ipewik, Kivalina, and Wulik rivers. Point Lay-Wainwright Area. This area is approximately bordered by the village of Point Lay and Peard Bay, and contains the drainages of the Kukpowruk, Kokolik, Utukok, Kuk, and Kugrua rivers, Kasegaluk Lagoon, and Peard Bay. Barrow Area. This area is bordered by Peard Bay on the west and ranges eastward to the Colville River drainage. This area contains Teshekpuk Lake, Elson Lagoon, Smith Bay, part of Harrison Bay, and the Inaru, Meade, Chipp, and Ikpikpuk rivers. Colville River Area. This area includes the entire Colville River drainage, and portions of Harrison Bay and Simpson Lagoon. Kuparuk-Sagavanirktok Area. This area contains the drainages of the Kuparuk, Toolik, Sagavanirktok, Kadleroshilik, Shaviovik, and Kavik rivers, and Gwydyr, Prudhoe, Foggy Island, and Mikkelsen bays. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This area contains that portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge draining into the Beaufort Sea and includes the drainages of the Canning, Sadlerochit, Hulahula, Jago, Aichilik, Kongakut, and Clarence rivers. Yukon Territory-Northwest Territories Area. This area includes the drainages from the Alaska-Canada border eastward to and including the Mackenzie River. Major drainages include the Malcolm, Firth, Babbage, Blow, and Mackenzie rivers. Table 2. Life function categories.

Drainages reorganise in landscapes under diverse conditions and process dynamics that impact biotic distributions and evolution. We first investigated the relative control that Earth surface process parameters have on divide migration and stream capture in scenarios of base-level fall and heterogeneous uplift. A model built with the Landlab toolkit was run 51 200 times in sensitivity analyses that used globally observed values. Large- scale drainage reorganisation occurred only in the model runs within a limited combination of parameters and conditions. Uplift rate, rock erodibility, and the magnitude of perturbation (base-level fall or fault displacement) had the greatest influence on drainage reorganisation. The relative magnitudes of perturbation and topographic relief limited landscape susceptibility to reorganisation. Stream captures occurred more often when the channel head distance to divide was low.

However, their origin remains a matter of debate, and has been interpreted previously as the result of fluvial erosion after peneplain uplift. Here, a new formation mechanism for these low-relief surface landscapes has been proposed, based on the analyses of low-relief surface distribution, swath profiles, χ mapping, river capture landform characteristics, and a numerical analytical model. The results showed that the low-relief surfaces in the Three Gorges area could be divided into higher elevation and lower elevation surfaces, distributed mainly in the highlands between the Yangtze River and Qingjiang River.

  • Guided Notes on Stream Development, Section 9.2
    Guided Notes on Stream Development, Section 9.2 1. As a stream develops, it changes in shape, width, and size, as well as the landscapes over which it flows. 2. The first and foremost condition necessary for stream formation is an adequate supply of water. 3. The region where water first accumulates to supply a stream is called the headwaters. 4. Moving water carves a narrow pathway into the sediment or rock called a stream channel. 5. Stream banks are the ground bordering the stream on each side. 6. The process by which small streams erode away the rock or soil at the head of a stream is known as headward erosion. 7. Sometimes, a stream erodes its way through the high area separating two drainage basins, joins another stream, and then draws away its water. This process is called stream capture or stream piracy. 8. As a stream actively erodes its path through the sediment or rock, a V-shaped channel develops. V-shaped channels have steep sides and sometimes form canyons or gorges. 9. The lowest base level possible for any stream is sea level, the point at which the stream enters the ocean. 10. As stream channels develop into U-shaped valleys, the volume of water and sediment that they are able to carry increases. 11. A bend or curve in a stream channel caused by moving water is called a meander. 12. The blocked-off meander becomes an oxbow lake, which eventually dries up. 13. The differences in the rate of water flow within meanders cause the meanders to become more accentuated over time.
