Acid rain, air pollution, and tree growth in southeastern New York
L.J. Puckett
1982, Journal of Environmental Quality (11) 376-381
Whether dendroecological analyses could be used to detect changes in the relationship of tree growth to climate that might have resulted from chronic exposure to components of the acid rain-air pollution complex was determined. Tree-ring indices of white pine (Pinus strobus L.), eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Cart.), pitch pine...

Population and status of Emperor Geese along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula
Margaret R. Petersen, Robert E. Gill Jr.
1982, Wildfowl (33) 31-38
We gathered information on the timing of spring and autumn migration of Emperor Geese Anser canagicus from Nelson Lagoon, the age ratios of geese during autumn migration, and the numbers of geese in estuaries along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula and Bristol Bay during spring and autumn migration....
Volatilization of organic compounds from streams
Ronald E. Rathburn, D. Y. Tai
1982, Journal of Environmental Engineering (108) 973-989
Mass-transfer coefficients for the volatilization of ethylene and propane were correlated with the hydraulic and geometric properties of seven streams, and predictive equations were developed. The equations were evaluated using a normalized root-mean-square error as the criterion of comparison. The two best equations were a two-variable equation containing the energy...

Variability in nest survival rates and implications to nesting studies
Albert T. Klett, Douglas H. Johnson
1982, The Auk (99) 77-87
We used four reasonably large samples (83-213) of Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and Blue-winged Teal (A. discors) nests on an interstate highway right-of-way in southcentral North Dakota to evaluate potential biases in hatch-rate estimates. Twelve consecutive, weekly searches for nests were conducted with a cable-chain drag in 1976 and 1977. Nests...
Digital model of predevelopment flow in the Tertiary limestone (Floridan) aquifer system in west-central Florida
Paul D. Ryder
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-54
A computer model was calibrated to approximate predevelopment flow conditions in a multilayered aquifer system in 10,600 square miles in west-central Floria. The lowermost aquifer, called the Floridan aquifer, is confined in most of the study area and consists of carbonate rocks ranging up to 1,300 feet thick. The Floridan...
Population modeling for furbearer management
Douglas H. Johnson
G.C. Sanderson, editor(s)
1982, Book chapter, Midwest Furbearer Management. N. Central Sec., Central Mountains and Plains Sec., and KS.
The management of furbearers has become increasingly complex as greater demands are placed on their populations. Correspondingly, needs for information to use in management have increased. Inadequate information leads the manager to err on the conservative side; unless the size of the 'harvestable surplus' is known, the population cannot be...

Detection of diethylnitrosamine in nitrate-rich water following treatment with Rhodamine flow tracers
S. L. Abidi
1982, Water Research (16) 199-204
Extremely carcinogenic diethylnitrosamine (DENA) was found to form in up to 75% yield from the reaction of nitrite with the two commonly used water tracing dyes. Rhodamine B and Rhodamine WT, DENA was detected at trace levels (0.13–7.02 μg −1) in river water samples after treatment with the dye and nitrite....
Worth of geophysical data in natural- disaster- insurance rate setting.
E. D. Attanasi, M.R. Karlinger
1982, Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology (21) 453-460
Insurance firms that offer natural-disaster insurance base their rates on available information. The benefits from collecting additional data and incorporating this information to improve parameter estimates of probability distributions that are used to characterize natural-disaster events can be determined by computing changes in premiums as a function of additional data....

1982, DNAG Special Publication 1
The objective of this Decade of North American Geology (D-NAG) volume will be to focus on the Mesozoic and Cenozoic evolution of the U.S. Atlantic continental margin, including the onshore coastal plain, related onshore Triassic-Jurassic rift grabens, and the offshore basins and platforms. Following multiple compressional tectonic episodes between Africa...
Chemical and mineralogical analysis of devonian black-shale samples from Martin County, Kentucky; Carroll and Washington counties, Ohio; Wise County, Virginia; and Overton County, Tennessee, U.S.A.
J.S. Leventhal, J. W. Hosterman
1982, Chemical Geology (37) 239-264
Core samples of Devonian shales from five localities in the Appalachian basin have been analyzed chemically and mineralogically. The amounts of major elements are similar; however, the minor constituents, organic C, S, phosphate and carbonate show ten-fold variations in amounts. Trace elements Mo, Ni, Cu, V, Co, U, Zn, Hg,...

Analytical scanning transmission electron microscopy has been successfully used to characterize the structure and composition of lamellar exsolution products in pyroxenes. At operating voltages of 100 and 200 keV, microanalytical techniques of x-ray energy analysis, convergent-beam electron diffraction, and lattice imaging have been used to chemically and...

J. E. Bonelli, Howard E. Taylor, J.M. Klein
1982, Technical Report N-8311538
The 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens in southeast Washington resulted in a pronounced effect on the surface and ground water resources of the state. In response to the volcanic activity, the U.S. Geological Survey intensified statewide surface and ground water sampling programs to determine the nature and magnitude of...

Hydrology of Wisconsin wetlands
R.P. Novitzki
1982, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 40
Data from 15 wetland study sites, supplemented by data from reconnaissance visits to 219 additional wetlands, were used to describe the hydrologic characteristics of Wisconsin wetlands and to suggest a simple hydrologic classification system. Wisconsin's wetlands OCCUf in depressions and on slopes. They may be in contact with ground water...
Relation between freshwater flow and salinity distributions in the Alafia River, Bullfrog Creek, and Hillsborough Bay, Florida
R.F. Giovannelli, Southwest Florida Water Management District.
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-102
Data on streamflow, tide stage, specific conductance, and chloride concentration were collected in the Alafia River and Bullfrog Creek to describe the salinity and physical characteristics of the saltwater wedge. The location of the saltwater-freshwater interface for both streams was described by multiple regression equations involving streamflow and tide stage....
