Ground-water hydrology and glacial geology of the Kalamazoo area, Michigan
Morris Deutsch, K.E. Vanlier, P.R. Giroux
1960, Progress Report 23
The Kalamazoo report area includes about 150 square miles of Kalamazoo County, Mich. The area is principally one of industry and commerce, although agriculture also is of considerable importance. It has a moderate and humid climate and lies within the Lake Michigan “snow belt”. Precipitation averages about 35 inches per...
Data on water wells, Naval Air Missile Test Center Area, Point Mugu, California
R. W. Page, Fred Kunkel
1960, Report
The entire water supply for the U. S. Naval Air Missile Test Center at Point Mugu, Calif., is pumped from wells located .within 2 miles of the Pacific Ocean. A large irrigation development inland from the Test Center has created a landward hydraulic gradient beneath the Test Center, causing sea-water...

Occurrence of strontium in the surface and ground waters of Champaign county, Ohio
A.J. Feulner, J.H. Hubble
1960, Economic Geology (55) 176-186
Naturally occurring strontium was found in both surface and ground waters during an investigation of the water resources of Champaign County, Ohio. The strontium is related to the presence of celestite (strontium sulfate) in rocks associated with evaporite deposition. The principal source of celestite in Ohio is in rocks of Late Silurian age. Celestite is present also in the glacial...
Geology and ground-water hydrology of the Redlands-Beaumont area, California, with special reference to ground-water outflow
W.L. Burnham, Lee Carlton Dutcher
1960, Report
The Redlands-Beaumont area is bordered by the Santa Ana River on the north, the San Bernadina River on the northeast, the Yucaipa Hills and the San Gorgonio Pass on the east, and the Badlands and the San Jacinto fault on the south and south-west. Large alluvial fans underlie much of...
Geology and ground-water resources of the island of Kauai, Hawaii
Gordon A. Macdonald, Dan A. Davis, Doak C. Cox
1960, Bulletin 13
Kauai is one of the oldest, and is structurally the most complicated, of the Hawaiian Islands. Like the others, it consists principally of a huge shield volcano, built up from the sea floor by many thousands of thin flows of basaltic lava. The volume of the Kauai shield was on...

Earthquake fluctuations in wells in New Jersey
Charles R. Austin
1960, New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply Water Resources Circular 5
New Jersey is fortunate to be situated in a region that is relatively stable, geologically. For this reason scientists believe, on the basis of the best scientific evidence available, that the chances of New Jersey experiencing a major earthquake are very small. The last major earthquake on the east coast...
Factual data for public-supply wells and selected irrigation wells in Monmouth County, New Jersey
Leo A. Jablonski
1960, New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply Water Resources Circular 4
The investigation of the ground-water resources of Monmouth County is part of a Statewide water-resources program. This study was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the new Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development, Division of Water Policy and Supply. It was under the general direction of...
A geologic-profile plotter
O.T. Marsh
1960, Economic Geology (55) 201-204
Design and uses are described of an easy-to-construct instrument that facilitates construction of profiles of land surfaces, geologic formations, or other features such as profiles of geophysical or geochemical anomalies. Response to data from users of the instrument indicates that it is both faster and more convenient than previous methods. ...
Collection and preservation of fish and other materials exposed to pesticides
Oliver B. Cope
1960, Progressive Fish-Culturist (22) 103-108
The effects of pesticides on fish have become improtant to fish conservation since World War II, when DDT first came into common use. With the development of other potent insecticides and the increasing use of massive dosages in more recent years, the threat to fish and fish foods has increased....

Characteristic constants of 2,2',4'-trihydroxyazobenzene-5-sulfonic acid, a reagent for spectrophotometric analysis
Mary H. Fletcher
1960, Analytical Chemistry (32) 1822-1827
The dye 2,2',4'-trihydroxyazobenzene-5-sulfonic acid, has shown promise as a reagent for the determination of zirconium. As the literature contains very little information about this dye, basic data pertinent to its use as a reagent were determined. The sulfonic acid group and all three of the hydroxy groups show acidic characteristics....
Potentiometric titration and equivalent weight of humic acid
A. M. Pommer, Irving A. Breger
1960, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (20) 30-44
The “acid nature” of humic acid has been controversial for many years. Some investigators claim that humic acid is a true weak acid, while others feel that its behaviour during potentiometric titration can be accounted for by colloidal adsorption of hydrogen ions. The acid character of humic acid has been...

The crystal structure of the new compound Cs(UO2)2(SO4)3 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The compound is tetragonal, space group P421m">P421m (D2d3), with a = 9·62 ± 0·02, c = 8·13 ± 0·01Å">c = 8·13 ± 0·01Å, and Z = 2; s.g. (calc.)...
Determination of niobium in the parts per million range in rocks
F. S. Grimaldi
1960, Analytical Chemistry (32) 119-121
A modified niobium thiocyanate spectrophotometric procedure relatively insensitive to titanium interference is presented. Elements such as tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, and rhenium, which seriously interfere in the spectrophotometric determination of niobium, are separated by simple sodium hydroxide fusion and leach; iron and magnesium are used as carriers for the niobium. Tolerance...
Releasing effects in flame photometry. Determination of calcium
J. I. Dinnin
1960, Analytical Chemistry (32) 1475-1480
Strontium, lanthanum, neodymium, samarium, and yttrium completely release the flame emission of calcium from the depressive effects of sulfate, phosphate, and aluminate. Magnesium, beryllium, barium, and scandium release most of the calcium emission. These cations, when present in high concentration, preferentially form compounds with the depressing anions when the solution...
Automatic measurements and computations for radiochemical analyses
J. N. Rosholt, J. R. Dooley Jr.
1960, Analytical Chemistry (32) 1093-1098
In natural radioactive sources the most important radioactive daughter products useful for geochemical studies are protactinium-231, the alpha-emitting thorium isotopes, and the radium isotopes. To resolve the abundances of these thorium and radium isotopes by their characteristic decay and growth patterns, a large number of repeated alpha activity measurements on...
