Landforms of the United States
John T. Hack
1969, Report
The United States contains a great variety of landforms which offer dramatic contrasts to a crosscountry traveler. Mountains and desert areas, tropical jungles and areas of permanently frozen subsoil, deep canyons and broad plains are examples of the Nation's varied surface. The present-day landforms the features that make up the...
Mineral layering in the Twin Lakes granodiorite, Colorado
H. G. Wilshire
Leonard H. Larsen, Martin Prinz, Vincent Manson, editor(s)
1969, GSA Memoirs 235-262
The Twin Lakes intrusion is composed mainly of coarse-grained porphyritic granodiorite, and is zoned from a felsic core to a slightly more mafic border. Steeply dipping mineral layers, typically a few inches to 5 feet thick and several tens of feet long, occur in discontinuous marginal zones as wide as...
Geologic Settings of Subsidence
Alice S. Allen
David J. Varnes, George Kiersch, editor(s)
1969, Book chapter, Reviews in Engineering Geology
This paper reviews the role of geologic processes that contribute to subsidence in order to aid those starting investigations of ground-surface subsidence. Subsidence occurs, or at least is discovered, only infrequently, and little organized information has been available. In order to assess our present state of knowledge, the author gathered...

The Cloudy Pass epizonal batholith and associated subvolcanic rocks
Fred W. Cater
1969, Book chapter, The Cloudy Pass epizonal batholith and associated subvolcanic rocks
The Cloudy Pass batholith, one of several small epizonal Tertiary batholiths in the Northern Cascade Mountains, discordantly intrudes metamorphic rocks of pre-Late Cretaceous age. The batholith is remarkable for its chilled borders, associated porphyry plugs, and intrusive breccias. The main body of the batholith consists largely of labradorite granodiorite.Part of...
Structural geology of the Quad-Wyoming-Line Creeks area, Beartooth Mountains, Montana
Lawrence C. Rowan
Leonard H. Larsen, Martin Prinz, Vincent Manson, editor(s)
1969, Book chapter, Igneous and Metamorphic Geology
The Quad-Wyoming-Line Creeks area is in the northeastern part of the Beartooth Mountains of Montana. The rocks of the area consist mainly of banded migmatite, granitic gneisses, amphibolite, quartzite, and agmatite; small amounts of biotite schist and biotite gneiss, iron-silicate rocks, ultramafic rocks, mafic dikes, and felsic porphyries are also...

Photogrammetry with surface-based images
Raymond M. Batson
1969, Applied Optics (8) 1315-1322
Stereoscopic pictures returned by surface-based imaging systems can be used to reconstruct the topography of landing sites on Mars and other planets. Large surface relief with respect to distance and the large scale variation inherent in surface-based pictures produce problems in stereoscopic measurement very different from those presented by high...

Survival in wood duck broods
Frank B. McGilvrey
1969, Journal of Wildlife Management (33) 73-76
Mortality of wood ducklings (Aix sponsa) from hatching to 6 weeks of age averaged 47 percent during a 4-year study at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. Over 90 percent of the total mortality occurred during the first 2 weeks of life. Brood bonds began to dissolve after the fifth week....
Fishery survey of U. S. waters of Lake Ontario
LaRue Wells
1969, Technical Report 14
Gill nets and trawls were fished by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries R/V Cisco during September 19-23, 1964, at several locations and depths in the offshore United States waters of Lake Ontario. Water temperatures were low (3.7-8.3 A?C) at all fishing stations except one (16.4 A?C). Supplementary data were provided...

Laboratory studies on antimycin A as a fish toxicant
Bernard L. Berger, Robert E. Lennon, James W. Hogan
1969, Investigations in Fish Control 26
Liquid and sand formulations of antimycin A were tested in laboratory waters of various temperature, hardness, pH, and turbidity against 31 species of fresh-water fish of various sizes and life stages. Each formulation of toxicant was lethal under all water conditions to fish eggs, fry, fingerlings, and adult fish. Trouts...
Ecological relationships of breeding blue-winged teal to prairie potholes
Rod C. Drewien, P. F. Springer
1969, Report Series 6
Ecology of breeding blue-winged teal (Anas discors) was studied on the Waubay Study Area in Day County, South Dakota, in 1965 and 1966. Breeding pair use of the wetland habitat and importance of Type 1 ponds in the wetland complex were evaluated. Changes in breeding pair densities and wetland habitat...

1969, Chemical Geology (4) 341-360
Saline waters from formations of several geologic ages are being studied in a seven-county area in southeastern New Mexico and western Texas, where more than 30,000 oil and gas tests have been drilled in the past 40 years. This area of 7,500 sq. miles, which is stratigraphically complex, includes...

Interstitial brines in playa sediments
B.F. Jones, A. S. Van Denburgh, A.H. Truesdell, S.L. Rettig
1969, Chemical Geology (4) 253-262
Study of several closed drainages in the Great Basin has shown that the interstitial solutions of shallow, fine-grained playa deposits store a large quantity of dissolved solids and are often more concentrated than associated lakes and ponds, except in peripheral zones of stream or ground-water inflow. These interstitial fluids,...
