Francis J. Beck
1983, Conference Paper, Technical Papers of the American Congress of Surveying and Mapping
The boundary between the States of Ohio and Kentucky and Indiana and Kentucky has been in dispute for many years. A major breakthrough in this continuing dispute has been a recent agreement between the States to accept the boundary line as depicted on U. S. Geological Survey 7. 5-minute quadrangle...

Human interactions with ground-water
A. Zaporozec
1983, GeoJournal (7) 427-433
Ground-Water could be considered as an immense reservoir, from which only a certain amount of water can be withdrawn without affecting the quantity and quality of water. This amount is determined by the characteristics of the environment in which ground-water occurs and by the interactions of ground-water with precipitation, surface...
Euler-Lagrangian computation for estuarine hydrodynamics
Ralph T. Cheng
1983, Conference Paper, Numerical Methods in Laminar and Turbulent Flow, Proceedings of the International Conference
The transport of conservative and suspended matter in fluid flows is a phenomenon of Lagrangian nature because the process is usually convection dominant. Nearly all numerical investigations of such problems use an Eulerian formulation for the convenience that the computational grids are fixed in space and because the vast majority...
Solubility relations in the ternary system NaCl-CsCl-H2O at 1 atm. 1. Solubilities of halite from 20 to 100 °C
I.-M. Chou, R.D. Lee
1983, Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data (28) 390-393
Solubilities of halite in the ternary system NaCl-CsCl-H2O have been determined by the visual polythermal method at 1 atm from 20 to 100 °C along five constant CsCl/(CsCl + H2O) weight ratio lines. These five constant weight ratios are 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5. The maximum uncertainties in these...

Ferruginous hawk populations and habitat use in North Dakota
David S. Gilmer, Robert E. Stewart
1983, Journal of Wildlife Management (47) 146-157
Ferruginous hawks (Buteo regalis) were studied in central North Dakota on a 1,259-km2 intensive study block and on a surrounding study area (16,519 km2) from 1977 to 1979. A total of 629 occupied nests was examined. Highest nest densities (0.08 nest/km2) were in the Missouri Coteau in 1979. Few nests...

Research in seismology and earthquake engineering in Venezuela
L. Urbina, J. Grases
1983, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (15) 32-38
Venezuela has been affected by destructive earthquakes for the past four centuries. According to entries in the national seismic catalog, there have been about 180 earthquakes which have caused some type of damage to the country. The most catastrophic earthquake occurred on March 26, 1812, on the Bocono fault system...
Active submarine volcano sampled
B. Taylor
1983, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (15) 148-149
On June 4, 1982, two full dredge hauls of fresh lava were recovered from the upper flanks of Kavachi submarine volcano, Solomon Islands, in the western Pacific Ocean, from the water depths of 1,200 and 2,700 feet. the shallower dredge site was within 0.5 mile of the active submarine vent...
Complexation of copper by aquatic humic substances from different environments
Diane M. McKnight, Gerald L. Feder, E. Michael Thurman, Robert L. Wershaw
1983, Science of the Total Environment (28) 65-76
The copper-complexing properties of aquatic humic substances isolated from eighteen different environments were characterized by potentiometric titration, using a cupric ion selective electrode. Potentiometric data were analyzed using FITEQL, a computer program for the determination of chemical equilibrium constants from experimental data. All the aquatic humic substances could be modelled...

Crustal structure beneath the southern Appalachians: Nonuniqueness of gravity modeling
Deborah R. Hutchinson, John A. Grow, Kim D. Klitgord
1983, Geology (11) 611-615
Gravity models computed for a profile across the long-wavelength paired negative-positive Bouguer anomalies of the southern Appalachian Mountains show that the large negative anomaly can be explained by a crustal root zone, whereas the steep gradient and positive anomaly east of the root may be explained equally well by three...

A Canada goose project in Connecticut
Kathryn A. Converse
1983, The Connecticut Warbler (1) 36-38
It wasn't so long ago that the wild cries of Canada geese overhead were enough to draw most people out of their homes to look skyward. It was a rare sound heard only in the spring and fall when migrating flocks of these magnificent birds marked the change of the...
Assessment of water quality in canals of eastern Broward County, Florida, 1969-74
Bradley G. Waller, Wesley L. Miller
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-3
An intensive water-quality monitoring program was started in 1969 to determine the effects of man-induced contaminants on the water quality in the primary canal system of eastern Broward County, Florida. This report covers the first 6 years of the program and provides a data base that can be used to...
Areal extent of a plume of mineralized water from a flowing artesian well in Dade County, Florida
Bradley G. Waller
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-20
A flowing artesian well that taps the Floridan aquifer at Chekika Hammock State Park is contaminating the overlying Biscayne aquifer with saline water. The plume of mineralized water extends approximately 7 miles southeast of the well and ranges in width from 1 to 2 miles. The areal extent of contamination...
Effects of land use on ground-water quality in the East Everglades, Dade County, Florida
B.G. Waller
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4093
Groundwater quality characteristics of the Biscayne aquifer from September 1978 through June 1979 were determined for seven land use areas within the East Everglades in Dade County, Florida. Four agricultural areas, two low-density residential areas, and Chekika Hammock State Park were investigated. The effects of land use on the groundwater...

Apparent episodicity of magmatic activity based on radiometric age determination: A section in The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1980
Frederic H. Wilson, Nora B. Shew
1982, Circular 844
Results of recent potassium-argon age studies in the Chignik region, Alaska, (Wilson, 1980; Wilson and others, 1982) have suggested a distinct episodicity in igneous activity during Tertiary time. To date work on the Aleutian magmatic arc indicates that plutonic activity took place along the present outer Pacific margin and in...

Geochemical reconnaissance studies in the Bristol Bay, Ugashik, and Karluk quadrangles were completed with collection and analyses of more than 1,200 stream-sediment and heavy mineral-concentrate samples during 1979 and 1980. At least two areas of possible metallic mineral occurrence have been delineated by results of the analyses, geologic fieldwork, and...
