Hierarchical Geostatistics and Multifacies Systems: Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site, Boise, Idaho

[1] The geostatistical structure of a heterogeneous coarse fluvial aquifer is investigated with porosity data derived from neutron logs at a research well field (Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site, or BHRS) that was designed, in part, to support threedimensional geostatistical analysis of hydrologic and geophysical parameters. Recognizing that the coarse fluvial deposits include subdivisions ...

Scale and Heterogeneity in Hydraulic Properties of the Fractured Granitic Boise Front, Boise, Idaho

A continuum approach model was used to determine the permeability of the fractured granite Idaho Batholith underlying the Dry Creek Experimental Watershed east of Boise, Idaho and characterization of the fracture network was completed. A technique for applying the apertures of fractures measured in a less weathered area to the fracture network in the (DCEW) is described. A Monte Carlo simulatio...

Refugee Integration Into Diasporic Society: A Case Study of Somali Bantu Refugees Living in Boise, Idaho

For decades Somalia has been affected by catastrophic events that have left millions of its people displaced. Among the events that have caused these tremendous displacements of Somalis is the civil war that intensified in the early 1990s. Many of these displaced people still live in refugee camps across east African countries, notably Kenya. Some, however, have sought asylum and been accepted ...

Stopover Ecology of Autumn Landbird Migrants in the Boise Foothills of Southwestern Idaho

The topography of western North America provides a complex landscape for landbird migrants, and stopover patterns in this region are poorly understood. We examined seven years of stopover data (1997–2003) from a montane area in southwestern Idaho to determine whether this area provides suitable stopover habitat. We compared the proportion of birds recaptured, stopover duration, and changes in e...
