Wigeongrass (Ruppia maritima): a literature review
Harold A. Kantrud
1991, Fish and Wildlife Research 10
Wigeongrass (Ruppia maritima L.) is a submersed macrophyte of nearly cosmopolitan distribution and worldwide importance as a waterfowl food. Unfortunately, the plant no longer inhabits vast areas disturbed by human activities. Taxonomic status of the plant is uncertain, especially in North America. In mild climates, in habitats subject to environmental...
Uncertainty in climate change and drought
Gregory J. McCabe, David M. Wolock, Gary D. Tasker, Mark A. Ayers
Shane Richard M., editor(s)
1991, Conference Paper, Proceedings - National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering
A series of projections of climate change were applied to a watershed model of the Delaware River basin to identify sources of uncertainty in predicting effects of climate change on drought in the basin as defined by New York City reservoir contents. The watershed model is a calibrated, monthly time-step...

H.J. Knebel, R.R. Rendigs, Michael H. Bothner
1991, Journal of Sedimentary Petrology (61) 791-804
Analyses of sidescan-sonar records supplemented by available bathymetric, sedimentary, subbottom, and bottom-current data reveal the distributions of the following three categories of sedimentary environments within the glaciated, topographically complex Boston Harbor estuary in Massachusetts. 1) Environments of erosion appear on the sonographs either as patterns with isolated strong reflections or...
Performance of the goulden large-sample extractor in multiclass pesticide isolation and preconcentration from stream water
G.D. Foster, W.T. Foreman, Paul M. Gates
1991, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (39) 1618-1622
The reliability of the Goulden large-sample extractor in preconcentrating pesticides from water was evaluated from the recoveries of 35 pesticides amended to filtered stream waters. Recoveries greater than 90% were observed for many of the pesticides in each major chemical class, but recoveries for some of the individual pesticides varied...
Is April to July runoff really decreasing in the Western United States?
Kenneth L. Wahl
1991, Conference Paper, Proceedings of The Western Snow Conference
Global warming has been the topic of a great deal of heated discussion and debate in recent years, both in the lay press and in scientific journals. The debate is about whether we are beginning to detect signs of a buildup of greenhouse gases on a global scale. A major...
Distribution of rubidium, strontium, and zirconium in tuff from two deep coreholes at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Richard W. Spengler, Zell E. Peterman
Anon, editor(s)
1991, Conference Paper, High Level Radioactive Waste Management
Variations in concentrations of trace elements Rb, Sr, and Zr within the sequence of high-silica tuff and dacitic lava beneath Yucca Mountain reflect both primary composition and secondary alteration. Rb and K concentrations have parallel trends. Rb concentrations are significantly lower within intervals containing zeolitic nonwelded to partially welded and...
Analysis of glacier facies using satellite techniques
R.S. Williams Jr., D.K. Hall, C.S. Benson
1991, Journal of Glaciology (37) 120-128
The different snow and ice types on a glacier may be subdivided according to the glacier-facies concept. The surficial expression of some facies may be detected at the end of the balance year by the use of visible and near-infrared image data from the Landsat multispectral scanner...
Application of ground-penetrating-radar methods in hydrogeologic studies
Milan Beres Jr., F.P. Haeni
1991, Ground Water (29) 375-386
A ground-penetrating-radar system was used to study selected stratified-drift deposits in Connecticut. Ground-penetrating radar is a surface-geophysical method that depends on the emission, transmission, reflection, and reception of an electromagnetic pulse and can produce continuous high-resolution profiles of the subsurface rapidly and efficiently. Traverse locations on land included a well...
Physiography, surficial sediments and Quaternary stratigraphy of the inner continental shelf and nearshore region of the Gulf of Maine
J. T. Kelley, D. F. Belknap
1991, Continental Shelf Research (11) 1265-1283
The western margin of the Gulf of Maine is a bedrock-framed, glaciated continental shelf that has only recently been geologically mapped. The bathymetry is divisible into four physiographic areas: nearshore basins, shelf valleys, rocky zones, and outer basins. The nearshore basins are largely floored by mud except near rock outcrops...
Petrology of lower crustal and upper mantle xenoliths from the Cima Volcanic Field, California
H. G. Wilshire, A. V. McGuire, J.S. Noller, B. D. Turrin
1991, Journal of Petrology (32) 169-200
Basaltic rocks of the Cima volcanic field in the southern Basin and Range province contain abundant gabbro, pyroxenite, and peridotite xenoliths. Composite xenoliths containing two or more rock types show that upper-mantle spinel peridotite was enriched by multiple dike intrusions in at least three episodes; the mantle was further...
Metal bioavailability and toxicity to fish in low-alkalinity lakes: A critical review
D.J. Spry, James G. Wiener
1991, Environmental Pollution (71) 243-304
Fish in low-alkalinity lakes having pH of 6·0–6·5 or less often have higher body or tissue burdens of mercury, cadmium, and lead than do fish in nearby lakes with higher pH. The greater bioaccumulation of these metals in such waters seems to result partly from the greater aqueous abundances of...
Role of sediment-trace element chemistry in water-quality monitoring and the need for standard analytical methods
Arthur J. Horowitz
1991, Conference Paper, ASTM Special Technical Publication
Multiple linear regression models calculated from readily obtainable chemical and physical parameters can explain a high percentage (70% or greater) of observed sediment trace-element variance for Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr, Ni, Co, As, Sb, Se, and Hg. Almost all the factors used in the various models fall into the category...
Quantitative controls on submarine slope failure morphology
H.J. Lee, W. C. Schwab, B. D. Edwards, R. E. Kayen
1991, Marine Geotechnology (10) 143-157
The concept of the steady-state of deformation can be applied to predicting the ultimate form a landslide will take. The steady-state condition, defined by a line in void ratio-effective stress space, exists at large levels of strain and remolding. Conceptually, if sediment initially exists with void ratio-effective stress conditions above...
A new approach to plane-sweep overlay: topological structuring and line-segment classification
Jan W. van Roessel
1991, Cartography and Geographic Information Systems (18) 49-67
An integrated approach to spatial overlay was developed with the objective of creating a single function that can perform most of the tasks now assigned to discrete functions in current systems. Two important components of this system are a unique method for topological structuring, and a method for attribute propagation...
