Texture, clay mineralogy, trace metals, and age of cored sediments from the North Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf
Michael H. Bothner, E.C. Spiker, W.M. Ferrebee, D.L. Peeler
1979, Open-File Report 79-842
The concentration of 9 trace metals in sediment cores collected from the Continental Shelf off the northeastern United States are generally uniform with sediment depth and are low compared to average crustal abundances. No evidence for the accumulation of anthropogenic metals was found in these samples.The sediment texture on Georges...
Ground water in Dale Valley, New York
Allan D. Randall
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-120
Dale Valley is a broad valley segment, enlarged by glacial erosion, at the headwaters of Little Tonawanda Creek near Warsaw , New York. A thin, shallow alluvial aquifer immediately underlies the valley floor but is little used. A deeper gravel aquifer, buried beneath many feet of lake deposits, is tapped...
Rock Analysis Storage System (RASS), Saudi Arabia; an introduction to the system and sample submittal manual, 1978
Lamont O. Wilch, L.D. North
1979, Open-File Report 79-591
The U.S. Geological Survey Saudi Arabian Mission has the responsibility for implementing a computer-based file known as the Rock Analysis Storage System (RASS), which is principally a geochemical data bank or library. Geologic parameters are necessarily provided for, but are far from comprehensive; nevertheless, nine years of operation in the...
Surveying Antarctica: from dogsled to satellite
Richard S. Williams Jr.
1979, Air and Space (3) 3-4
Base maps of Antarctica are needed at scales of 1:250,000 to plot scientific data, yet after 20 years of a major mapping effort, only about 20 percent of the continent has been accurately mapped using aerial photographs and ground surveys. Encompassing nearly 14.3 million square kilometers (5.5 million square miles),...
Satellite-aided evaluation of population exposure to air pollution
William J. Todd, Anthony J. George Jr., Nevin A. Bryant
1979, Environmental Science & Technology (13) 970-974
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 set schedules for states to implement regional, spatial assessments of air quality impacts. Accordingly, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently published guidelines for quantifying population exposure to adverse air quality impact by using air quality and population data by census tracts. Our research...
Satellites monitor Atlanta regional development
William J. Todd, C.C. Blackmon, R.G. Rudasill Jr.
1979, Practicing Planner (9) 6-10
Since the adoption of a Regional Development Plan in 1975, the Atlanta Regional Commission has investigated methods for monitoring regional development patterns in a periodic, efficient manner. A promising approach appears to be the use of Landsat satellite data. In cooperation with the Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center,...
Inventory and mapping of flood inundation using interactive digital image analysis techniques
Wayne G. Rohde, Charles A. Nelson, J. V. Taranik
1979, Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing (5) 43-52
LANDSAT digital data and color infra-red photographs were used in a multiphase sampling scheme to estimate the area of agricultural land affected by a flood. The LANDSAT data were classified with a maximum likelihood algorithm. Stratification of the LANDSAT data, prior to classification, greatly reduced misclassification errors. The classification results...
What is a picture worth? A history of remote sensing
Gerald K. Moore
1979, Hydrological Sciences Bulletin (24) 477-485
Remote sensing is the use of electromagnetic energy to measure the physical properties of distant objects. It includes photography and geophysical surveying as well as newer techniques that use other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The history of remote sensing begins with photography. The origin of other types of remote...
Infrared film for aerial photography
William H. Anderson
1979, Irrigation Age (13) 68-69
Considerable interest has developed recently in the use of aerial photographs for agricultural management. Even the simplest hand-held aerial photographs, especially those taken with color infrared film, often provide information not ordinarily available through routine ground observation. When fields are viewed from above, patterns and variations become more apparent,...
Ancient processes at the site of southern San Francisco Bay, movement of the crust and changes in sea level
B.F. Atwater
T. J. Conomos, editor(s)
1979, Book chapter, San Francisco Bay : the urbanized estuary : investigations into the Natural History of San Francisco Bay and Delta with reference to the influence of man : fifty-eighth annual meeting of the Pacific Division/American Association for the Advancement of Science held at San Francisco State University, San Francisco, California, June 12-16, 1977

Multichannel seismic depth sections and interval velocities over outer continental shelf and upper continental slope between Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod: Rifted margins
John A. Grow, Robert E. Mattick, John S. Schlee
1979, Book chapter, Geological and geophysical investigations of continental margins
Six computer-generated seismic depth sections over the outer continental shelf and upper slope reveal that subhorizontal Lower Cretaceous reflectors continue 20 to 30 km seaward of the present shelf edge. Extensive erosion on the continental slope has occurred primarily during the Tertiary, causing major unconformities and retreat of the shelf...
Long-term observations of bottom current and bottom sediment movement on the mid-Atlantic continental shelf
Bradford Butman, Marlene A. Noble, David W. Folger
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans (84) 1187-1205
Long-term in situ observations made at three locations on the mid-Atlantic continental shelf during 1975–1976 clearly show intermittent movement of bottom sediment caused by currents, waves, and other forcing mechanisms. In winter, storm-associated bottom currents greater than 30 cm s−1 resuspended and transported sediments. Net water particle excursions during storms were...
The productivity of San Cristobal Reef, Puerto Rico
Caroline S. Rogers
1979, Limnology and Oceanography (24) 342-349
San Cristobal Reef, Puerto Rico, was the site of a community metabolism study based on a new upstream-downstream method with experimental channels 4 m deep. Net productivity rates varied from 0.03 to 1.85 g O2m–2 reef area·h­–1 (x = 0.39; n = 59). Respiration measurements of one reef section from which...
