Requirement for a microbial consortium to completely oxidize glucose in Fe(III)- reducing sediments
Derek R. Lovley, Elizabeth J.P. Phillips
1989, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (55) 3234-3236
In various sediments in which Fe(III) reduction was the terminal electron-accepting process, [14C]glucose was fermented to 14C-fatty acids in a manner similar to that observed in methanogenic sediments. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that, in Fe(III)-reducing sediments, fermentable substrates are oxidized to carbon dioxide by the combined activity of...

Sharon S. Crowley, R.W. Stanton, Thomas A. Ryer
1989, Organic Geochemistry (14) 315-331
Volcanic ash which fell in the peat swamp that formed the Upper Cretaceous C coal bed (Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale, Utah) produced semi-impermeable layers that caused the ponding of surface waters. Coal samples from directly above tonsteins (altered volcanic ash partings) are enriched in desmocollinite, telinite, and...
Water content dependence of trapped air in two soils
David A. Stonestrom, Jacob Rubin
1989, Water Resources Research (25) 1947-1958
An improved air pycnometer method was used to examine the water content dependence of trapped-air volumes in two repacked, nonswelling soils. Trapped-air volumes were determined at a series of hydrostatic equilibrium stages which were attained during water pressure-controlled wetting and drying cycles over a range of 0 to −10 kPa...
An approach to the field study of hydraulic gradients in variable-salinity ground water
J.J. Hickey
1989, Ground Water (27) 531-539
A field study approach is proposed for reliably estimating hydraulic gradients in subregions within a region of variable-salinity ground water. It is based upon Hubbert's concept about the kind of density distributions that are required for ground water to have a potential. The approach consists of dividing a region of...

Particle-borne radionuclides as tracers for sediment in the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay
J.F. Donoghue, O.P. Bricker, C.R. Olsen
1989, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (29) 341-360
The Chesapeake Bay receives nearly 1 000 000 tonnes of sediment annually from its major tributary, the Susquehanna River. The pattern of deposition of this sediment affects the lifetime of the estuarine resource and the fate of any sediment-borne contaminants. Previous estimates of the extent to which Susquehanna River sediment...
