  • 2004 Bark Beetles
    BARK BEETLE CONDITIONS NORTHERN REGION 2004 Ken Gibson USDA Forest Service Northern Region Forest Health Protection Missoula Field Office December 2004 BARK BEETLE CONDITIONS Northern Region 2004 REGIONAL SUMMARY Although late fall has turned out to be atypically dry, most of the Region received above normal amounts of precipitation during calendar year 2004. Most of Montana, and especially the eastern portions, have not completely broken out of the 4- to 5-year drought; however, growing conditions for most bark beetle hosts improved markedly throughout the Region. Despite improved conditions, long-term drought affects are not easily overcome. Too, many bark beetle species are at extremely high levels and will not respond to improved host conditions for a year or so. Those latter two factors combined to result in an increase in infested area by most bark beetle species across the Region. Unfortunately, less-than-optimal weather conditions late in the season prevented aerial survey of all beetle-infested areas. Approximately 85% of the forested portions of the 24 reporting areas were flown. While some areas appeared to be less impacted, for most of the Region, and particularly Montana; both aerial and ground-collected data showed still- increasing bark beetle infestations for most species. Mountain pine beetle-infested areas increased in many locations surveyed; however, in some locations, intensity of beetle-caused mortality is declining due to host depletion. Decreases in infested area recorded on the Lolo National Forest (NF), however, is a reflection of the amount of area flown—not necessarily an indication that the outbreak, overall, is waning. In total, considerably more infested acres were recorded in 2004 than in 2003; despite some heavily infested areas having not been flown.

  • Geological History of the Yellowstone National Park

C., for 10 cents. 8 GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. By ARNOLD HAGUE, United States Geological Survey. The purpose of this paper is not so much to elucidate any special problem connected with the many interesting geological questions to be found in the Yellowstone Park, as to offer such a general view of the region as will enable the tourist to understand clearly something of its physical geography and geology. The Yellowstone Park is situated in the extreme northwestern portion of Wyoming. At the time of the enactment of the law establishing this national reservation the region had been little explored, and its relation to the physical features of the adjacent country was little understood. Since that time surveys have shown that only a narrow strip about 2 miles in width is situated in Montana and that a still narrower strip extends westward into Idaho. The area of the park as at present defined is somewhat more than 3,300 square miles. The Central Plateau, with the adjacent mountains, presents a sharply defined region, in strong contrast with the rest of the northern Rocky Mountains. It stands out boldly, is unique in topographical structure, and complete as a geological problem. The central portion of the Yellowstone Park is essentially a broad, elevated, volcanic plateau, between 7,000 and 8,500 feet above sea level, and with an average elevation of about 8,000 feet.

  • Synoptic Taxonomy of Major Fossil Groups
    APPENDIX Synoptic Taxonomy of Major Fossil Groups Important fossil taxa are listed down to the lowest practical taxonomic level; in most cases, this will be the ordinal or subordinallevel. Abbreviated stratigraphic units in parentheses (e.g., UCamb-Ree) indicate maximum range known for the group; units followed by question marks are isolated occurrences followed generally by an interval with no known representatives. Taxa with ranges to "Ree" are extant. Data are extracted principally from Harland et al. (1967), Moore et al. (1956 et seq.), Sepkoski (1982), Romer (1966), Colbert (1980), Moy-Thomas and Miles (1971), Taylor (1981), and Brasier (1980). KINGDOM MONERA Class Ciliata (cont.)

Embracing large, diverse, and complex geologic features, the park is in an area that is critical to the interpretation of many significant regional geologic problems. In order to provide basic data bearing on these problems, the U.S. Geological Survey in 1965 initiated a broad pro­ gram of comprehensive geologic and geophysical investigations within the park. This program was carried out with the cooperation of the National Park Service, and was also aided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which supported the gathering of geologic information needed in testing and in interpreting results from various remote sensing devices. This professional paper chapter is one of a series of technical geo­ logic reports resulting from these investigations.
