	Arizona - MSN Encarta
		The name of the state is derived from the Native American word arizonac believed to mean “place of the small spring.” Arizona is popularly known as the Grand Canyon State, after its most remarkable physical feature, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River.
		The Colorado Plateau is a flat, dry, semidesert region that covers the northern two-fifths of the state.
		The most important river in Arizona is the Colorado, which enters the state in the north, flows southwestward to the state’s western boundary, and then follows the boundary south into Mexico.

		The water used for irrigation in the Southwestern United States is obtained from both surface and groundwater sources (El-Ashry and Gibbons 1986).
		In the Southwestern United States, the salinization of soil as well as both ground and surface waters is also caused by irrigation.
		In the case of the Colorado River, the largest river in the Southwestern United States, most of the salt loading occurs in the upper basin states (Utah and Colorado), and results in damages in the lower basin (Arizona, New Mexico, and California).

	Fire-Southern Oscillation relations in the Southwestern United States (part 2 of 2)
		To examine long-term relations between climate and fire in the southwestern United States, regional values for tree-ring growth from Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, and pinyon pine growing at 28 sites in Arizona and New Mexico were compiled.
		Negative correlations have been reported between tree growth in the southwestern United States and the SOI, that is, tree growth is enhanced during El Nino conditions.
		If southwestern landscapes are to be regarded as a mosaic of patches recovering from disturbance, as specified in the current paradigm [29], then our analyses of these patches must match the spatial and temporal scales of fires as an ecological process.

	Saltcedar invasion in desert wetlands of the southwestern United States: ecological and political implications - ...
		The debate on whether saltcedar is an aggressive invader or simply an opportunistic species is largely academic: the presence of saltcedar in riparian habitats of the southwestern United States is a warning sign that something is very wrong with the ecosystem.
		The recent listing of the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (a native species that nests in saltcedar) under the Endangered Species Act of the United States has challenged efforts to move forward with release of insects for biocontrol of saltcedar.
		Concern for the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, a species that evolved in native riparian plant communities, should not ignore the plight of numerous other legally protected, sensitive, and even common species that are negatively affected by saltcedar.

		A radical Hispanic movement's dream to retake the southwestern United States is becoming a reality with the aid of Mexican and U.S. policies, according to some immigration watchers.
		A breakaway of U.S. states is a distinct possibility, according to prominent Chicano activist and University of California at Riverside professor Armando Navarro.
		Spencer believes the aim is to create a sovereign state, "Republica del Norte," the Republic of the North, that would combine the American Southwest with the northern Mexican states and eventually merge with Mexico.

	Hantavirus Infection -- Southwestern United States: Interim Recommendations for Risk Reduction
		The recently recognized hantavirus-associated disease among residents of the southwestern United States (1-4) and the identification of rodent reservoirs for the virus in the affected areas warrant recommendations to minimize the risk of exposure to rodents for both residents and visitors.
		The reservoir hosts of the hantavirus in the southwestern United States also act as hosts for the bacterium Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of plague.
		Although epidemiologic studies are being conducted to identify specific behaviors that may increase the risk for hantavirus infection in humans in the United States, rodent control in and around the home will continue to be the primary prevention strategy (Box 1Table_B1).

	Flood-Flow Frequency Model Selection in Southwestern United States (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Uniform flood frequency guidelines in the United States recommend the use of the log Pearson type 3 (LP3) distribution in flood frequency investigations.
		Using flood-flow data at 383 sites in the southwestern United States, we explore the suitability of various flood frequency models using L-moment diagrams.
		Nevertheless, this study reveals that index-flood procedures need not be restricted to the GEV distribution because the LN2, LN3, and LP3 distributions appear to be suitable alternatives, at least in the southwestern United States.

		My master's thesis is a pilot study in using detailed structural analysis and EMP monazite geochronology with massive, ~1.7 Ga quartzites to place absolute age constraints on Proterozoic deformation in the Southwestern United States.
		The eventual goal is to use these regionally extensive quartzites as a marker unit by which we can separate and compare the style of enigmatic 1.4 Ga deformation and metamorphism throughout the region.
		The fundamental geometry of this orogen in the southwestern United States is defined in many areas by fold-fault pairs and isolated synclines of thick ~1700 Ma quartzite.

	ARS \| Publication request: RIPARIAN AREAS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES
		Wetland areas make up less than 2% of the total land area in the southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, and portions of the surrounding states), but their importance to the native flora and fauna, and to the humans of the region, is far greater than this small proportion would suggest.
		Throughout, care is taken to emphasize the differences from and similarities to the more widely-known wetlands of the eastern United States.
		While not an essential book for the landscape ecologist, this edited volume does a very nice job describing the physical and biotic environment of the riparian areas of the southwestern United States, and covers the complex management and regulatory issues driven by the competing uses for scarce water resources.
