This pre-specified time would typically be the time at which a sulfate emission control program took effect, and the given magnitude of reduction is some percentage change in deposition rate one might expect to occur as a result of the emission control. In order to determine this probability of detection, a stochastic model of sulfate deposition rates is developed, based on New York State bulk collection network data. The model considers the effect of variation in precipitation, seasonal variations, serial correlation, and site-to-site (cross) correlation. A nonparametric statistical test which is well suited to detection of step changes in such multi-site data sets is developed. It is related to the Mann-Whitney Rank-Sum test. The test is used in Monte Carlo simulations along with the stochastic model to derive statistical power functions. These power functions describe the probability of detecting (α=0.05) a step trend in deposition rate as a function of the size of the step-trend, record length before and after the step-trend, and the number of stations sampled. The results show that, for an area the size of New York State, very little power is gained by increasing the number of stations beyond about eight. The results allow policy makers to determine the tradeoff between the cost of monitoring and time required to detect a step-trend of a given magnitude with a given probability.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1752-1688.1985.tb00171.x","issn":"00431370","usgsCitation":"Hirsch, R., and Gilroy, E., 1985, Detectability of step

Unlike the USA, where most of the drilling has been concentrated in depths to 5000 f (shallow depths), the preponderance of wildcat wells drilled in South America and Africa reach much deeper horizons. Offshore wildcat drilling represents less than 4% of total US wildcat drilling. However, more than half of the wildcat wells in Africa and two-fifths of the wildcat wells in South America in 1982 were offshore. In this paper, these differences are traced, in part, to the economic factors that drive petroleum exploration in these areas. Factors such as product markets, drilling costs (rig availability), product transportation systems, and business risk determine the minimum commercial size of hydrocarbon discoveries and the type of operator that can profitably develop discoveries:</p><p>The plan of the paper is as follows; first, drilling statistics and trends for several areas are discussed. After this, the differences in economic factors that account for the different patterns of exploration are identified. In the concluding section, some strategies are suggested to encourage development of marginally commercial oil and gas fields located at shallow depths</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/j.1477-8947.1985.tb01052.x","usgsCitation":"Attanasi, E., 1985, Petroleum industry drilling in industrialized and developing areas: Natural Resources Forum, v. 9, no. 2, p. 147-153, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1477-8947.1985.tb01052.x.","productDescription":"7p.","startPage":"147","endPage":"153","costCenters":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":357855,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"9","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2009-10-09","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Attanasi, Emil D. 0000-0001-6845-7160 attanasi@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6845-7160","contributorId":198728,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Attanasi","given":"Emil D.","email":"attanasi@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":746545,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

An unconformity separates the previously identified Cenozoic sedimentary section from the underlying strata of possible Mesozoic and Paleozoic age. Late Cenozoic volcanic rocks intrude into the entire section along the eastern flank of the basin. The Victoria Land basin is probably part of a more extensive rift system that has been active episodically since Paleozoic time. Inferred rifting and basin subsidence during Mesozoic and Cenozoic time may be associated with regional crustal extension and uplift of the nearby Transantarctic Mountains.","language":"English","publisher":"American Association for the Advancement of Science","doi":"10.1126/science.229.4718.1085","issn":"00368075","usgsCitation":"Cooper, A.K., and Davey, F., 1985, Episodic rifting of phanerozoic rocks in the Victoria Land basin, Western Ross Sea, Antarctica: Science, v. 229, no. 4718, p. 1085-1087, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.229.4718.1085.","productDescription":"3 p.","startPage":"1085","endPage":"1087","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":221935,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"Antarctica, Western Ross Sea","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -138.73518191130916,\n              -71.01416580074937\n            ],\n            [\n              -208.61520733350773,\n              -71.01416580074937\n            ],\n            [\n              -208.61520733350773,\n              -78.27224818439953\n            ],\n            [\n              -138.73518191130916,\n              -78.27224818439953\n            ],\n            [\n              -138.73518191130916,\n              -71.01416580074937\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"229","issue":"4718","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a0a13e4b0c8380cd521bc","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cooper, Alan K. acooper@usgs.gov","contributorId":2854,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cooper","given":"Alan","email":"acooper@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":363083,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Davey, F.J.","contributorId":99152,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Davey","given":"F.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":363084,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The objectives of this study were to ascertain current contaminant residue concentrations in fish and sediment from lakes in the Atchafalaya River Basin and to determine the influence of overflow and agricultural land use on contaminant levels. Fish and sediment samples were collected from eight lakes that differed in overflow (no overflow, headwater overflow, backwater overflow) and land-use characteristics (presence or absence of agricultural land). Residue analysis of 24 sediment and 82 fish samples collected from the study lakes showed that contaminant residues were uniformly low. Total DDT concentrations, consisting mainly of DDE, were found in 98% of the fish samples and generally were the highest residues though they rarely exceeded 0.50 μg/g. Dieldrin, α-BHC and γ-BHC, in concentrations rarely exceeding 0.05 μg/g, were detected in about 50% of the fish samples. Total organochlorine pesticide and PCB residues were less than 2.00 μg/g in all fish from all lakes, except for a 3.46 μg/g total in spotted gar (</span><i>Lepisosteus oculatus</i><span>) from one lake. Sediments were free from pesticide residues except for occasional traces (0.01 μg/g) of α-BHC. Metal residue concentrations in fish and sediment samples were typical of uncontaminated areas. Lake systems in the Atchafalaya River Basin appeared to be relatively uncontaminated by agricultural pesticides, but metal and organic residues in fish were similar from lakes with the same land-use and overflow characteristics.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Springer","doi":"10.1007/BF01055388","usgsCitation":"Winger, P.V., and Andreasen, J.K., 1985, Contaminant residues in fish and sediments from lakes in the Atchafalaya River Basin (Louisiana): Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, v. 14, no. 5, p. 579-586, https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01055388.","productDescription":"8 p.","startPage":"579","endPage":"586","numberOfPages":"8","costCenters":[{"id":531,"text":"Patuxent Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":199348,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Louisiana","otherGeospatial":"Atchafalaya River Basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -89.35068322053141,\n              29.278637011487447\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.98641481029229,\n              29.706700645240673\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.07037935988335,\n              29.977215216142227\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.71810588529938,\n              30.029153141543134\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.197903311534,\n              30.309147206940025\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.63571846297276,\n              30.918204495029755\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.05396408366363,\n              32.17549525199841\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.20989810279053,\n              32.94885275839151\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.82321694850341,\n              32.94885275839151\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.52934102493508,\n              31.41086526110982\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.60730810669784,\n              30.85129000681927\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.57732076755853,\n              30.101817488823315\n            ],\n            [\n              -92.09152171464704,\n              29.550300375725115\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.0239724412757,\n              29.200135832922854\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.35068322053141,\n              29.278637011487447\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"14","issue":"5","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4af6e4b07f02db6929bb","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Winger, Parley V.","contributorId":27983,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Winger","given":"Parley","email":"","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":338522,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Andreasen, J.

The problem was that no range survey data including stocking rates and condition class were available for the soil-survey-derived range sites.  The only available range survey was a survey that was based on range site delineations from a Missouri River Basin Inventory (MRBI) program conducted in 1961, prior to the availability of soil survey data.  The MRBI survey information was correlated with the revised range sites derived from the soil surveys to device stocking rates and condition classes.  A 1:24,000-scale map which included revised range site boundaries and management boundaries was produced for each township within the reservation.  All polygons on the maps were uniquely labeled to permit discrimination of the potential differences in range site stocking rates due to grazing management practices.  The maps and the associated polygon attribute data were merged with maps of the MRBI transect information to derive the stocking rate and condition class for each revised range site within a management unit.

We infer whether individuals captured were more likely to have been residuals (or their descendants), or immigrants from areas less affected by the eruption, from consideration of the time span between the eruption and the capture date, the trapping location, and life history data.  We also make inferences concerning the animal-environment relationships that led to our survey results, and thereby address the question of the likelihood of other types of disturbance, either natural or anthropogenic, producing similar results.  Data concerning survival of <i>Thomomys talpoides</i>, the northern pocket gopher, have been presented elsewhere (Andersen, 1982).

This fault and two similar range-front normal faults along the Lemhi Range and Beaverhead Mountains lie in an area of basin-and-range structure in central Idaho that is part of a roughly V-shaped belt of latest Quaternary surface faulting that extends from the Wasatch fault, through the Yellowstone area, to the Lost River fault. The position of this belt may be related to the outward migration of a thermal front associated with the northeastward progression of late Cenozoic silicic volcanism along the Yellowstone-Snake River Plain axis. The central segments of the Lost River, Lemhi, and Beaverhead faults have been active more recently, and probably more active throughout Quaternary time, than the southern and northern segments. The main 1983 surface faulting occurred in an area of high structural relief along a central segment of the Lost River fault that has ruptured in latest Quaternary time, which suggests that comparable areas along other range fronts in the area should be regarded as likely sites of future surface faulting. Other perspective of fault behavior suggest additional possible sites, and all segments of the range-front faults are regarded as capable of surface faulting.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Seismological Society of America","doi":"10.1785/BSSA0750041053","usgsCitation":"Scott, W.E., Pierce, K.L., and Hait, M.H., 1985, Quaternary tectonic setting of the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake, central Idaho: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, v. 75, no. 4, p. 1053-1066, https://doi.org/10.1785/BSSA0750041053.","productDescription":"14 p.","startPage":"1053","endPage":"1066","costCenters":[{"id":218,"text":"Denver Federal Center","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":387331,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":387377,"rank":2,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/article/75/4/1053/118755/Quaternary-tectonic-setting-of-the-1983-Borah-Peak"}],"country":"United  States","state":"Idaho","otherGeospatial":"central Idaho","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -117.39990234375,\n              42.4234565179383\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.11572265624999,\n              42.4234565179383\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.11572265624999,\n              45.24395342262324\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.39990234375,\n              45.24395342262324\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.39990234375,\n              42.4234565179383\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"75","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Scott, William E. 0000-0001-8156-979X wescott@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8156-979X","contributorId":1725,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Scott","given":"William","email":"wescott@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":819646,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Pierce, Kenneth L. kpierce@usgs.gov","contributorId":1609,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Pierce","given":"Kenneth","email":"kpierce@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":547,"text":"Rocky Mountain Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":819647,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hait, M.

We propose a model for carbonate accumulation in which the soil column is defined by a vertical sequence of 1-cm<sup>2</sup>-area compartments, each with a specified texture, bulk density, water-holding content, lithologic and mineralogic composition, soil-air pCO<sub>2</sub>, ionic strength, and temperature. On the basis of these data, rates of carbonate solubility and dissolution within a given compartment are determined. In arkosic to lithic arkosic sandy parent materials, high carbonate solubility (0.137 to 0.212 mg/ml) and the large reactive surface area of eolian calcareous dust result in rapid carbonate dissolution (0.79 to 9.92 × 10<sup>−10</sup><span>&nbsp;</span>g/cm<sup>2</sup>/sec) that promotes rapid translocation of carbonate by infiltrating water. We derive a group of equations and use them to calculate net carbonate depletion or accumulation in a soil compartment over an interval of time as a function of the independent variables temperature and precipitation. These two variables largely determine or strongly influence soil-water balance, the external carbonate influx rate, and carbonate solubility.</p><p>The carbonate distribution that our model predicts closely resembles the observed carbonate distribution in soils associated with Holocene deposits forming in arid, hyperthermic to xeric, thermic moisture-temperature regimes in southern California. This modeling indicates that with a mean carbonate influx rate of 1 × 10<sup>−4</sup><span>&nbsp;</span>g/cm<sup>2</sup>/yr and in a semiarid, thermic climate, the maximum depression of the top of the Cca horizon is attained within only a few thousand years. In contrast, given the same influx rate, our model predicts that a noncalcareous B horizon cannot form in an arid, hyperthermic climate, a conclusion supported by field and laboratory studies of calcic soils in this climate.</p><p>The influence of glacial-to-interglacial climatic changes on carbonate accumulation can be modeled by calculating latest Pleistocene soil-water balance with the aid of published estimates of full-glacial temperature and precipitation. On the basis of these modeling results, we propose that either of two types of glacial-to-interglacial climatic changes may account for the strongly bimodal, apparently polygenetic carbonate distribution that is observed in late Pleistocene soils of the eastern Mojave Desert of southern California. Such results of compartment-strategy modeling are encouraging and indicate the great potential of combined theoretical and empirical methods for considering pedological problems of interest to Quaternary geologists.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/SPE203-p23","usgsCitation":"McFadden, L.D., and Tinsley, J., 1985, Rate and depth of pedogenic-carbonate accumulation in soils: Formation and testing of a compartment model.: GSA Special Papers, v. 203, p. 23-41, https://doi.org/10.1130/SPE203-p23.","productDescription":"19 p.","startPage":"23","endPage":"41","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":376441,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"203","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McFadden, Leslie D.","contributorId":139971,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McFadden","given":"Leslie","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[{"id":13339,"text":"University of New Mexico, Albuquerque","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":793031,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Tinsley, John jtinsley@usgs.gov","contributorId":140545,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tinsley","given":"John","email":"jtinsley@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":793032,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

By correlating these census data with lithological, geophysical, geochemical, and other faunal and floral measurements in the same stratigraphic interval, a record of irregularly fluctuating cycles was compiled. We interpret them as indicators of relative sea level. High sea levels are characterized by pelagic sedimentation and by high generic and total species diversities. During low sea level, diversity values were lower, and the accumulation of terrigenous detritus was more prevalent at the site. A sequence recording five highstands and five lowstands is interrupted by four unconformities in a scenario remarkably similar to that postulated in the work of P. R. Vail and his colleagues. Bolivina species diversity also varied cyclically. We interpret diversity of Bolivina species as a measure of relative oxygen and nutrient content at the water/sediment interface; high diversity indicates the presence of an oxygen-minimum layer, accompanied by nutrient enrichment. Our data show that this property generally varied directly with sea level, but sometimes varied independently.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Texas A&M","doi":"10.2973/dsdp.proc.80.112.1985","usgsCitation":"Poag, C., and Low, D., 1985, Environmental trends among Neogene benthic foraminifers at Deep Sea Drilling Project Site 548, Irish continental margin: Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, v. 80, no. 1, p. 489-503, https://doi.org/10.2973/dsdp.proc.80.112.1985.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"489","endPage":"503","costCenters":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":488919,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"http://doi.org/10.2973/dsdp.proc.80.112.1985","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":376155,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"otherGeospatial":"Irish Continental","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -30.585937499999996,\n              50.51342652633956\n            ],\n            [\n              -8.349609375,\n              50.51342652633956\n            ],\n            [\n              -8.349609375,\n              63.860035895395306\n            ],\n            [\n              -30.585937499999996,\n              63.860035895395306\n            ],\n            [\n              -30.585937499999996,\n              50.51342652633956\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"80","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Poag, Claude (Wylie) 0000-0002-6240-4065 wpoag@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6240-4065","contributorId":195779,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Poag","given":"Claude (Wylie)","email":"wpoag@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":792248,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Low, Doris","contributorId":108102,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Low","given":"Doris","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":678,"text":"Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":792249,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Fluoride at 40 ppm resulted in a significantly smaller egg volume, while 200 ppm also resulted in lower egg weights and lengths. Day-one hatchlings in the 200 ppm group weighed almost 10% less than controls and had shorter crown-rump lengths. No gross abnormalities were apparent. Skeletal clearing and staining revealed significantly shorter tibiotarsus lengths in the 40 ppm and 200 ppm groups and a shorter radius-ulna length in the 200 ppm group. By 7 days of age, body weights and lengths did not differ from controls, but the tibiotarsus in the 200 ppm group remained shorter. No significant differences were detected in hematocrit, hemoglobin, plasma calcium or alkaline phosphatase.
