Trace metal bioavailability: Modeling chemical and biological interactions of sediment-bound zinc
S. N. Luoma, G.W. Bryan
Everett A. Jenne, editor(s)
1979, Book chapter, Chemical Modeling in Aqueous Systems
Extractable concentrations of sediment-bound Zn, as modified by the physicochemical form of the metal in the sediments, controlled Zn concentrations in the deposit-feeding bivalvesScrobicularia plana (collected from 40 stations in 17 estuaries in southwest England) andMacoma balthica (from 28 stations in San Francisco Bay). Over a wide range of concentrations,...
Geology and groundwater resources of Monroe County, Pennsylvania
Orville B. Lloyd Jr., Louis D. Carswell
1979, Water Resource Report 47
Monroe County is on the eastern border of Pennsylvania and includes much of the area popularly called the Poconos. It is an area long used for outdoor recreation and includes a part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Water resources in the county are derived from precipitation. The...
Geology and groundwater resources of western Crawford County, Pennsylvania
George R. Schiner, John T. Gallaher
1979, Water Resource Report 46
Western Crawford County is in northwestern Pennsylvania. The project area is 15 to 20 miles south of Lake Erie and is bordered on the west by Ohio. Drift of Pleistocene age (Wisconsinan Age) covers most of the area, which is a maturely dissected plateau. The drift in the upland area...
Aquifer tests of the Navajo Sandstone near Caineville, Wayne County, Utah
J. W. Hood, T. W. Danielson
1979, Technical Publication 66
Ground water in the Navajo Sandstone near Caineville, Wayne County, Utah, was studied during 1975-77 as part of an investigation of water in bedrock in the lower Dirty Devil River basin area. The purpose of the study near Caineville was to determine the water-bearing properties of the Navajo by utilizing...
Atlas of Mars: the 1:5,000,000 map series
R. M. Batson, P.M. Bridges, J.L. Inge
1979, NASA SP 438
This atlas comprises small-scale maps and photomosaics covering the entire surface of the planet Mars. The cartographic contents are reduced-scale versions of the 1:5,000,000 topographic series of 30 quadrangles compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)....
Better utilization of ground water in the Piedmont and mountain region of the southeast
Ralph C. Heath
1979, Conference Paper, Water conservation and alternative water supplies: proceedings of a southeast regional conference
The development of water supplies for domestic consumption, and for those commercial and industrial uses requiring relatively pure water, has followed a pattern in the Piedmont and mountain areas of the southeast similar to that in most other humid areas. The first settlers utilized seepage springs on hillsides. Such springs...
Environment of ore deposition in the Creede mining district, San Juan Mountains, Colorado; Part IV, source of fluids, from oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon isotope studies
P. M. Bethke, R. O. Rye
1979, Economic Geology (74) 1832-1851
The hydrogen isotopic composition of fluids responsible for formation of the near-surface silver-base metal vein deposits at Creede was measured by direct analysis of inclusion fluids in sphalerite, quartz, and rhodochrosite and was estimated from analyses of illite and chlorite. The oxygen isotopic composition was determined directly on inclusion fluids...
Relation of mercury, uranium, and lithium deposits to the McDermitt caldera complex, Nevada-Oregon
James J. Rytuba, Richard K. Glanzman
1979, Papers on mineral deposits of western North America (Report 33) 109-117
The McDermitt caldera complex, located along the Nevada-Oregon border, is a Miocene collapse structure 45 km in diameter. Large-volume rhyolitic and peralkaline ash-flow tufts were erupted from 17.9-15.8 m.y. ago, leading to the formation of overlapping and nested calderas. Emplacement of rhyolitic ring domes, located primarily along the western margin...
A digital model for simulation of ground-water hydrology in the Houston area, Texas
Walter R. Meyer, Jerry E. Carr
1979, Limited Printing Report 103
This report documents the construction and calibration of a digital model for the simulation of hydrologic conditions in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area of southeastern Texas. The model is a five-layer finite-difference model, with a grid pattern of 63 x 67 nodes representing an area of...
Synthetic fuels development: earth-science considerations
W.J. Ulman, E. R. Hampton
D.A. Rickert, editor(s)
1979, Report
The current energy crisis is affecting the lives of all Americans. Continued increases in energy prices and frequent shortages are stark reminders of our growing dependence on foreign energy resources in today's energy-hungry world. A comprehensive national energy policy must consider a variety of energy resources, including synfuels, to meet...

1979, Report
On behalf of each employee at the Geological Survey's National Center, I [H. William Menard, Director] extend a warm welcome to you during our Centennial Year. We hope that your visit to our headquarters will be a pleasant and rewarding experience. Our scientific research is directed towards helping to solve...
Land use statistics for West Virginia, Part I
Robert B. Erwin, West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey, Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1979, Environmental Geology Bulletin 18
The West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey and the United States Geological Survey have completed a cooperative program to provide land-use and land-cover maps and data for the State. This program begins to satisfy a longstanding need for a consistent level of detail, standardization in categorization, and scale of compilation...
Toxicity of fishery chemicals to the asiatic clam, Corbicula manilensis
Jack H. Chandler, L. L. Marking
1979, Progressive Fish-Culturist (41) 148-151
The Asiatic clam (Corbicula manilensis), a species introduced into U. S. waters, has spread rapidly, and its ability to survive, reproduce, and spread has caused concern. Aquatic biologists suspect that the clams may crowd out indigenous mollusks, and the animals sometimes plug water intakes and leave shell deposits that interfere...
United States Geological Survey Yearbook, fiscal year 1978
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1979, Report
Fiscal year 1978 saw the U.S. Geological Survey continuing to perform its basic historical missions of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information about the Earth, its processes, and its water and mineral resources.

Parathion causes secondary poisoning in a laughing gull breeding colony
Donald H. White, Kirk A. King, C. A. Mitchell, E. F. Hill, T. G. Lamont
1979, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (23) 281-284
Use of organophosphate insecticides as replacements for the more persistent organochlorine compounds has increased dramatically in recent years. Organophosphates are desirable for field application because they break down rapidly in the environment and do not persist in animal tissues (Stickel 1974). Nevertheless, certain organophosphates are extremely toxic to wildlife for...
