Surficial geology
Charles B. Hunt
1984, Report
Surficial materials are those at or near the Earth's surface. They constitute, by far, the largest and most used part of the ground around us. Areas not covered by surficial deposits--bare bedrock--form probably less than 5 percent of our land surface.Most surficial deposits are composed of poorly consolidated clay, silt,...
Rippled scour depressions on the inner continental shelf off central California
David A. Cacchione, David E. Drake, William D. Grant, George B. Tate
1984, Journal of Sedimentary Petrology (54) 1280-1291
Side-scan sonar records taken during the recent Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) show elongate, shore-normal rippled depressions of low relief on the inner continental shelf off central California between Bodega Bay and Point Arena. These features extend up to 2 km from the...
Refuge management analyses: research needs for Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge
J. E. Roelle, G.T. Auble, D. B. Hamilton
1984, Report
Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, located in southeastern Indiana, was established by the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission in 1966. Land use planning for the Refuge formally began in 1971, and development of facilities designed in that planning effort is now nearing completion. As these facilities become operational, Refuge personnel will be...
Compilation of hydrologic data for the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas, 1981, with 1934-81 summary
R.D. Reeves, R.W. Maclay, G. B. Ozuna
1984, Edwards Underground Water District Bulletin 41
The average annual ground-water recharge to the Edwards aquifer in the San Antonio area, Texas, from 1934 through 1981, was 612,400 acre-feet. The recharge in 1981 was 1,448,400 acre-feet, which is the third highest annual recharge since 1934. A maximum annual recharge of 1,711,200 acre-feet occurred in 1958, and a...
Pleistocene glaciation of volcano Ajusco, central Mexico, and comparison with the standard Mexican glacial sequence
Sidney White, S. Valastro
1984, Quaternary Research (21) 21-35
Three Pleistocene glaciations and two Holocene Neoglacial advances occurred on volcano Ajusco in central Mexico. Lateral moraines of the oldest glaciation, the Marqués, above 3250 m are made of light-gray indurated till and are extensively modified by erosion. Below 3200 m the till is dark red, decomposed, and buried beneath...
Snow Mountain Wilderness Study Area, California
Robert D. Brown Jr., Francis E. Federspiel
1984, Book chapter
The Snow Mountain Wilderness study area, located about 120 mi north of San Francisco and on the divide between the Sacramento and Eel Rivers, contains some of the highest terrain in the Coast Ranges. Its mineral-resource potential was evaluated by interpreting data from geologic field studies, from an aeromagnetic survey,...
Red fox predation on breeding ducks in midcontinent North America
Alan B. Sargeant, Stephen H. Allen, Robert T. Eberhardt
1984, Wildlife Monograph 89
Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) predation on nesting ducks was assessed by examining 1,857 adult duck remains found at 1,432 fox rearing dens from 1968 to 1973. Dabbling ducks were much more vulnerable to foxes than diving ducks. Dabbling ducks (1,798) found at dens consisted of 27% blue-winged teals (Anas discors),...
Pedimentation versus debris-flow origin of plateau-side desert terraces in southern Utah
V. S. Williams
1984, Journal of Geology (92) 457-468
Plateau-side terraces in arid areas around the world are commonly described as pediment remnants, although, in many cases, they may have been formed by debris-flow deposition. Pediments do exist in the area of the Aquarius and Kaiparowits Plateaus of southern Utah; however, many alluvial terraces that were classified by previous...
Isolation of organic acids from large volumes of water by adsorption chromatography
George R. Aiken
1984, Book, National Meeting - American Chemical Society, Division of Environmental Chemistry
The concentrations of dissolved organic carbon from most natural waters ranges from 1 to 20 milligrams carbon per liter, of which approximately 75 percent are organic acids. These acids can be chromatographically fractionated into hydrophobic organic acids, such as humic substances, and hydrophilic organic acids. To effectively study any of...
Glacier mass balance and runoff research in the U.S.A.
L.R. Mayo
1984, Geografiska Annaler, Series A (66 A) 215-227
Research on glacier mass balance began in the U.S.A. about 50 years ago. More complete studies of climate, snow and ice balance, and the hydrology of glaciers were initiated for the IGY in 1957 and the IHD in 1966. Investigations included the magnitude and geographic distribution of normal...
Mantle metasomatism: The REE story
H. G. Wilshire
1984, Geology (12) 395-398
Refractory rocks with light REE/heavy REE ratios greater than chondrite are common as xenoliths in basalts and kimberlites and are found in some oceanic peridotite massifs. This has led to the supposition that large parts of the upper mantle have been metasomatically altered...
