Geochronology of augen gneiss and related rocks, Yukon-Tanana terrane, east-central Alaska
John N. Aleinikoff, Cynthia Dusel-Bacon, Helen L. Foster
1986, Geological Society of America Bulletin (97) 626-637
Using several isotopic techniques, we have determined the ages of selected metamorphic rocks in the Yukon-Tanana terrane (YTT) of east-central Alaska. U-Pb zircon data from an augen gneiss body in the Big Delta quadrangle indicate that the granitoid protolith of the gneiss was intruded 341 ± 3 m.y. ago (lower...
Artificial propagation of coregonines in the management of the Laurentian Great Lakes
Thomas N. Todd
1986, Book chapter, Archiv fur Hydrobiologie. Advances in Limnology 22. Advances in fishery biology: Biology, exploitation, rearing and propogation of coregonid fishes
Numerous stresses caused wide fluctuations in the abundance of Great Lakes coregonine fishes during the last century. State, Provincial, and Federal agencies attempted to bolster these fisheries by stocking more than 32 billion fry of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and 6 billion fry of lake herring (C. artedii) over a...
An overview of environmental surveillance of waste management activities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
T.H. Smith, E.W. Chew, T.G. Hedahl, L. J. Mann, T.F. Pointer, G.B. Wiersma
1986, Book, Proceedings for 1986 Waste Management Symposium
The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), in southeastern Idaho, is a principal center for nuclear energy development for the Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Nuclear Navy. Fifty-two reactors have been built at the INEL, with 15 still operable. Extensive environmental surveillance is conducted at the INEL by DOE's Radiological...
Minturn and Sangre de Cristo formations of Southern Colorado: A prograding fan delta and alluvial fan sequence shed from the ancestral Rocky Mountains
D. A. Lindsay, R. F. Clark, S. J. Soulliere
1986, Book chapter, Paleotectonics and sedimentation in the Rocky Mountain Region, United States
The Middle Pennsylvania!) Minturn Formation and the Pennsylvanian-Permian Sangre de Cristo Formation of the northern Sangre de Cristo Range form a thick progradational sequence of coarse clastic sediments. These sediments were deposited along the western margin of the central Colorado trough during uplift of the late Paleozoic Uncompahgre highland, a...
Effects of urbanization on streamflow, sediment loads, and channel morphology in Pheasant Branch basin near Middleton, Wisconsin
W.R. Krug, G. L. Goddard
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4068
A 5-year, data-collection and modeling study was conducted on Pheasant Branch basin in and near Middleton, Wisconsin. The objectives of the study were to: (1) describe the streamflow characteristics, sediment transport, and stream-channel morphology in the Pheasant Branch basin; and (2) relate the above factors to changes caused by urbanization...
Reservoir processes and fluid origins in the Baca geothermal system, Valles Caldera, New Mexico
A.H. Truesdell, C. J. Janik
1986, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (91) 1817-1833
At the Baca geothermal field in the Valles caldera, New Mexico, 19 deep wells were drilled in an attempt to develop a 50-MWe (megawatts electric) power plant. The chemical and isotopic compositions of steam and water samples have been used to indicate uniquely the origin of reservoir fluids and natural reservoir...
The use of stable isotopes in the study of photosynthesis in freshwater plants
Jon E. Keeley, Leonel Sternberg, Michael J. DeNiro
1986, Aquatic Botany (26) 213-223
The ratio of 13C/12C for photosynthetic tissues of 22 aquatic species was unrelated to photosynthetic pathway. In three aquatic environments CAM and non-CAM species were shown to have similar δ13C values. Although these CAM species derive up to half of their net carbon gain through dark fixation their δ13C values are similar to...
Stochastic analysis of three-dimensional flow in a bounded domain
R.L. Naff, A. V. Vecchia
1986, Water Resources Research (22) 695-704
A commonly accepted first-order approximation of the equation for steady state flow in a fully saturated spatially random medium has the form of Poisson's equation. This form allows for the advantageous use of Green's functions to solve for the random output (hydraulic heads) in terms of a convolution over the...
Identifying hydraulically conductive fractures with a slow-velocity borehole flowmeter
Alfred E. Hess
1986, Canadian Geotechnical Journal (23) 69-78
The U.S. Geological Survey used a recently developed heat-pulse flowmeter to measure very slow borehole axial water velocities in granitic rock at a site near Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, Canada. The flowmeter was used with other geophysical measurements to locate and identify hydraulically conducting fractures contributing to the very slow...
[Book review] Fish immunology, edited by M. J. Manning and M. F. Tatner
B.R. Griffin
1986, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (115) 641-642
Review of: Fish Immunology. Edited by M. J. Manning and M. F. Tatner. Academic Press, London. 1985. 374 pages. $32.50. Reviewed by B. R. Griffin, Fish Farming Experimental Station, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Stuttgart, Arkansas 72160, USA....
Scale-dependent correlation of seabirds with schooling fish in a coastal ecosystem
Davod C. Schneider, John F. Piatt
1986, Marine Ecology Progress Series (32) 237-246
The distribution of piscivorous seabirds relative to schooling fish was investigated by repeated censusing of 2 intersecting transects in the Avalon Channel, which carries the Labrador Current southward along the east coast of Newfoundland. Murres (primarily common murres Uria aalge), Atlantic puffins Fratercula arctica, and schooling fish (primarily capelin Mallotus...
Western Stump Lake, a major canvasback staging area in eastern North Dakota
H.A. Kantrud
1986, Prairie Naturalist (18) 247-253
Large numbers of waterfowl, especially canvasback (Aythya valisineria), used Western Stump Lake as a staging area during most of October 1985. Selection of the lake as a conditioning site by this species likely is caused by extensive, shallow-water beds of sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus) and lack of human disturbance. A...
Ecological life histories of the three aquatic nuisance plants, Myriophyllum spicatum, Potamogeton crispus and Elodea canadensis
S. A. Nichols, B.H. Shaw
1986, Hydrobiologia (131) 3-21
The life histories of Myriophyllum spicatum L., Elodea canadensis Michx., and Potamogeton crispus L., serious aquatic nuisances in many regions of the world, are reviewed to provide insights into the life style of successful aquatic nuisance plants. Specifically, their distribution and spread in North America; their life cycle, productive and...

P.R. Klock, G.K. Czamanske, M. Foose, J. Pesek
1986, Chemical Geology (54) 157-162
Six analytical techniques for the selective chemical dissolution of sulfides are compared with the purpose of defining the best method for accurately determining the concentration of sulfide-bound nickel. Synthesized sulfide phases of known elemental content, mixed with well-analyzed silicates, were used to determine the relative and absolute efficiency, based on...

P.M. Konrad, D.S. Gilmer
1986, Journal of Raptor Research (20) 35-39
Post-fledging activities of 18 Ferruginous Hawks (Buteo regalis) were studied in southcentral North Dakota during July and August 1979. The post-fledging period ranged from 10 to 40 d (mean = 23.1 d; N = 16). Haylands and native prairie grasslands were the principal land use types utilized by fledglings and...

W.H. Campbell, E.R. Schiffmacher
1986, Journal of Geophysics - Zeitschrift fur Geophysik (59) 56-61
Spherical harmonic analysis coefficients of the external and internal parts of the quiet-day geomagnetic field variations (Sq), separated for the N American, European, Central Asian and E Asian regions, were used to determine conductivity profiles to depths of about 600km by the Schmucker equivalent-substitute conductor method. All 3 regions showed...
Phase relations in the CuVS system
D. Wu, L.L.Y. Chang, C.R. Knowles
1986, Journal of the Less-Common Metals (115) 243-251
Phase relations in the system Cu-V-S were studied by using a sealedcapsule technique, reflected-light microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and electron microprobe analysis. In the temperature range between 300 and 900 ??C, six vanadium sulfides exist in the V-S system. These are VS, V7S8, V3S4, V5S8, V3S5 and VS4. In the...
