Simulations of seabird damage and recovery from oilspills in the northern Gulf of Alaska.
W.B. Samuels, K.J. Lanfear
1982, Journal of Environmental Management (15) 169-182
If an oilspill contacts a colony of glaucous-winged gulls Larus hyperboreus, reducing the population by 50%, the population is expected to recover to its pre-spill level in c.20 yr. For common murres Uria aalge, this same situation yields a recovery time of c.70 yr. Assuming that oil is found in...
Sediment deposition in a flood retention structure after two record floods in southwestern Wisconsin.
P.A. Kammerer Jr., W. G. Batten
1982, Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (37) 302-304
Sediment deposited in a flood-control structure was measured after record floods in SW Wisconsin on June 17 and June 30-July 1, 1978. The structure is in the Driftless Area, where high relief, erodible soils, and land use contribute to high soil losses. The two floods deposited 4.1 acre-ft of sediment...
Ice rafting of fine-grained sediment, a sorting and transport mechanism, Beaufort Sea, Alaska
P. W. Barnes, E. Reimnitz, D. Fox
1982, Journal of Sedimentary Petrology (52) 493-502
The presence of turbid, sediment-rich fast ice in the Arctic is a major factor affecting transport of fine-grained sediment. Turbid ice was found to be present in a zone 10 to 20 km wide along the coast of the Beaufort Sea. Sediment concentrations...

1982, Nature (300) 139-143
The Koloula Igneous Complex, on the island of Guadalcanal, consists of a low-K calc-alkaline sequence of 26 different intrusive phases. The major intrusions are characterized by K/Rb>400, Rb/Sr<0.06, ?? 18O of 5.7 to 7.2 and uniform 87Sr/86Sr of 0.70372. This article presents the first data describing oxygen and strontium isotopic...

Robert O. Fournier, Robert W. Potter II
1982, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (46) 1969-1973
The solubility of quartz in water from 25° to 900°C at specific volume of the solvent ranging from about 1 to 10 and from 300° to 600°C at specific volume of the solvent ranging from about 10 to 100 is given by an empirically derived equation of the form: log m = A + B(log V)...
Aminostratigraphy and faunal correlations of late Quaternary marine terraces, Pacific Coast, USA
G. L. Kennedy, K. R. Lajoie, J.F. Wehmiller
1982, Nature (299) 545-547
Recent studies using the extent of racemization of amino acids to date fossil mollusc shells in the Arctic1, the British Isles2 and on the Atlantic3,4 and Pacific5-13 coasts of North America have relied mainly on theoretical kinetic models of racemization. Ages generated in this fashion are highly model dependent and...
Survival, growth, and catchability of rainbow trout of four strains
J.L. Brauhn, H. Kincaid
1982, North American Journal of Fisheries Management (2) 1-10
Fingerling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) of genetically different strains survived, grew, and were caught at different rates by anglers and in gill nets after release from a hatchery into a 1‐hectare pond. When two domestic strains were compared, more fish of the strain genetically selected for fast growth were caught...
Decline of lake herring (Coregonus artedii) in Lake Superior: an analysis of the Wisconsin herring fishery, 1936-78
James H. Selgeby
1982, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (39) 554-563
Annual harvests of lake herring (Coregonus artedii) in American waters of Lake Superior declined from an average of 2 million kg in 1936–62 to less than 25 000 kg in 1978. Analysis of commercial fishing records revealed that the sequential overexploitation of discrete unit stocks caused the collapse of the herring population...

Case report: lead poisoning in common loons (Gavia immer)
Louis N. Locke, Stephen M. Kerr, D. Zoromski
1982, Avian Diseases (26) 392-396
Two emaciated common loons (Gavia immer) were believed to have died of lead poisoning when fragments of fishing lines and lead sinkers were discovered in their stomachs. Later a third emaciated loon, which had only the remnants of fishing line in its stomach, was suspected of being a possible lead-poisoning...

Modeling of tidal and residual circulation in San Francisco Bay, California
R. T. Cheng
1982, Conference Paper, Proceedings, Seminar on 2-D Flows
Several numerical models have been developed and implemented to simulate tidal and residual circulation in San Francisco Bay. Because of a broad distribution in time scales, hydrodynamic models must be formulated to account for the proper time and spatial scales which dominate the transport processes. A complete current survey of...

Simulated effects of ground-water development on the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer, west-central Florida
W.E. Wilson, J. M. Gerhart
1982, Professional Paper 1217
A digital model of two-dimensional ground-water flow was used to predict changes in the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer, 1976 to 2000, in a 5,938-square-mile area of west-central Florida. In 1975, ground water withdrawn from the Floridan aquifer for irrigation, phosphate mines, other industries, and municipal supplies averaged about...

Leachability of uranium and other elements from freshly erupted volcanic ash
D. B. Smith, R. A. Zielinski, W.I. Rose Jr.
1982, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (13) 1-30
A study of leaching of freshly erupted basaltic and dacitic air-fall ash and bomb fragment samples, unaffected by rain, shows that glass dissolution is the dominant process by which uranium is initially mobilized from air-fall volcanic ash. Si, Li, and V are also preferentially mobilized by glass dissolution. Gaseous transfer...

On Nov. 8, 1980, a major earthquake (magnitude 6.5-7.2) occurred 60 km off the coast of N California. A survey of the area using high-resolution seismic-reflection and side-scan sonar equipment revealed the presence of extensive sediment failure and flows in a zone about 1 km wide and 20 km long...
