Distribution of modern benthic foraminifers on the New Jersey Outer Continental Shelf
C. Wylie Poag, H.J. Knebel, R. Todd
1980, Marine Micropaleontology (5) 43-69
We used samples from 21 stations within a 600 km2 area of the New Jersey Outer Continental Shelf to assess the effects of a hydrodynamic environment on the distribution and redistribution of benthic foraminifers. These samples show that, although the predominant genera (Elphidium, Cibicides, and Saccammina) are the same as...
The isolation of a herpes virus from captive cranes with an inclusion body disease
D. E. Docherty, D.J. Henning
1980, Avian Diseases (24) 278-283
A viral agent, identified as a herpesvirus and tentatively called 'inclusion body disease of cranes' (IBDC), was isolated from captive cranes involved in a die-off at the International Crane Foundation near Baraboo, Wisconsin. Preliminary animal susceptibility tests, based on experimental infections, suggested that White Pekin ducklings up to 17 days...
Hydrocarbon gas in sediment from the shelf, slope and basin of the Bering Sea.
K.A. Kvenvolden, G.D. Redden
1980, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (44) 1145-1150
Methane, ethane, ethene, propane, propene, isobutane and n-butane are present in low concentrations in the top 2m of sediment. Methane is most abundant and its concentration increases with depth in the sediment. Ethane, ethene, propane and propene are present in almost all samples, but the concentrations of these gases are...
Early concentrations of Brown Pelicans along southern Oregon coast
Charles J. Henny, J.A. Collins
1980, Murrelet (61) 99-100
The California Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus), which nests in southern California and Mexico, wanders north along the coast after the breeding season, sometimes as far as southern British Columbia (A.O.U. 1957). Anderson and Anderson (1976) and Ainley (1972) report that Mexico-originating pelicans disperse north in late summer and fall,...

Wildlife hazards from Furadan 3G applications to rice in Texas
Edward L. Flickinger, Kirke A. King, W.F. Stout, M.M. Mohn
1980, Journal of Wildlife Management (44) 190-197
Mortality of birds, fish, frogs, crayfish, earthworms, and nontarget insects occurred in rice fields after treatments of Furadan 3G granules in 3 Texas counties in 1970 and 1973-75. Three western sandpipers (Ereunetes mauri), 1 pectoral sandpiper (Erolia melanotos), and 2 red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) were found dead or moribund between...

A lead isotope study of mineralization in the Saudi Arabian Shield
J. S. Stacey, B. R. Doe, R. J. Roberts, M.H. Delevaux, J. W. Gramlich
1980, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (74) 175-188
New lead isotope data are presented for some late Precambrian and early Paleozoic vein and massive sulfide deposits in the Arabian Shield. Using the Stacey Kramers (1975) model for lead isotope evolution, isochron model ages range between 720 m.y. and 420 m.y. Most of the massive sulfide deposits in the...
Sedimentary and structural patterns on the northern Santa Rosa-Cortes Ridge, southern California
Michael E. Field, William C. Richmond
1980, Marine Geology (34) 79-98
The Santa Rosa-Cortes Ridge is an 1800 m high, 180 km long feature lying approximately 90 km off the coast of southern California and directly south of the northern group of Channel Islands. Geophysical profiling and sampling cruises to the northern part of the ridge, an area of recent and...
Calculation of uncertainties of U-Pb isotope data
K.R. Ludwig
1980, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (46) 212-220
Equations are derived for the estimation of errors and error correlations for various types of U-Pb isotope data, taking into account ion-beam instabilities, run-to-run variability in mass-discrimination, uncertainties in Pb and U concentrations, and uncertainties in initial-Pb and blank-Pb amount and isotopic composition. Equations are also given for the calculation...
Radar, visual and thermal characteristics of Mars: Rough planar surfaces
G. G. Schaber
1980, Icarus (42) 159-184
High-resolution Viking Orbiter images (10 to 15 m/pixel) contain significant information on Martian surface roughness at 25- to 100-m lateral scales, whereas Earth-based radar observations of Mars are sensitive to roughness at lateral scales of 1 to 30 m, or more....

Accuracy of an estuarine hydrodynamic model using smooth elements
Roy A. Walters, Ralph T. Cheng
1980, Water Resources Research (16) 187-195
A finite element model which uses triangular, isoparametric elements with quadratic basis functions for the two velocity components and linear basis functions for water surface elevation is used in the computation of shallow water wave motions. Specifically addressed are two common uncertainties in this class of two-dimensional hydrodynamic models: the...
Toxicity of five forest insecticides to cutthroat trout and two species of aquatic invertebrates

The Northern Rocky Mountain region has had scattered infestation of the western spruce budworm Christoneura occidentalis since the early 1900's (U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) 1976b). On the basis of aerial surveys in 1975, TUNNOCK et al. (1976), estimated that budworm defoliation occurred on 2,278,804 acres of six National Forests...

Metamorphic infrastructure in the northern Ruby Mountains, Nevada
Keith A. Howard
1980, Book chapter, Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes
The metamorphic complex of the northern Ruby Mountains in northeastern Nevada exposes Paleozoic strata that are metamorphosed to sillimanite grade, migmatized, and recumbently folded. Nappes are variously overturned to the east, north, south, and west. The deeper part of this metamorphic infrastructure is a migmatitic zone pervaded by pegmatitic two-mica...
