Book excerpt: Mercury pollution is a local, regional, and global environmental problem that adversely affects ecosystems worldwide. As the world's largest freshwater system, the Great Lakes are a unique and extraordinary natural resource providing drinking water, food, recreation, employment, and transportation to more than 35 million people. Mercury has been released into the air and waterways of the Great Lakes region since the early to mid-1800s from human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, waste incineration, metal smelting, chlorine production, mining, and discharges of mercury in wastewater. The widespread loading of mercury into the Great Lakes environment is responsible for mercury-related fish consumption advisories in the eight Great Lakes states and the province of Ontario. Past and present inputs of mercury pollution have created a substantial recovery challenge for the Great Lakes region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mercury and sulfur in Upper Great Lakes watersheds of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan are persistent pollutants that threaten ecosystem services and human health. In 2021, the U.S. Congress directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service’s Northern Research Station to study mercury and sulfur pollution in the Great Lakes region over a 5-year period. Specifically, the Northern Research Station was directed to generate science to inform policy regarding mercury and sulfur pollution and to implement demonstration sites for proposed remediation technologies. This report describes the existing scientific resources and cross-disciplinary capabilities that the Forest Service and collaborators contribute to the effort, summarizes existing scientific knowledge, identifies knowledge gaps, and outlines the next steps needed to fill these gaps and develop potential mitigation measures for mercury and sulfur pollution. It details the potential for such pollution to affect valuable resources, including Manoomin (wild rice) and freshwater fish, two ecosystem services that have considerable ecological and socio-economic value and special significance to Indigenous Peoples of the Upper Great Lakes region. How the dynamics of mercury and sulfur may be affected by a changing climate and existing treatments for mercury and sulfur pollution are also reviewed. The report concludes with a series of recommendations for research investments that can provide critical information to land managers and policymakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the Second Edition “This book should be an essential part of the personal library of every practicing statistician.”—Technometrics Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition of Nonparametric Statistical Methods includes additional modern topics and procedures, more practical data sets, and new problems from real-life situations. The book continues to emphasize the importance of nonparametric methods as a significant branch of modern statistics and equips readers with the conceptual and technical skills necessary to select and apply the appropriate procedures for any given situation. Written by leading statisticians, Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Third Edition provides readers with crucial nonparametric techniques in a variety of settings, emphasizing the assumptions underlying the methods. The book provides an extensive array of examples that clearly illustrate how to use nonparametric approaches for handling one- or two-sample location and dispersion problems, dichotomous data, and one-way and two-way layout problems. In addition, the Third Edition features: The use of the freely available R software to aid in computation and simulation, including many new R programs written explicitly for this new edition New chapters that address density estimation, wavelets, smoothing, ranked set sampling, and Bayesian nonparametrics Problems that illustrate examples from agricultural science, astronomy, biology, criminology, education, engineering, environmental science, geology, home economics, medicine, oceanography, physics, psychology, sociology, and space science Nonparametric Statistical Methods, Third Edition is an excellent reference for applied statisticians and practitioners who seek a review of nonparametric methods and their relevant applications. The book is also an ideal textbook for upper-undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in applied nonparametric statistics.
