An instrument system for long-term sediment transport studies on the continental shelf
Bradford Butman, David W. Folger
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans (84) 1215-1220
A bottom-mounted instrument system has been designed and built to monitor processes of bottom sediment movement on the continental shelf. The system measures bottom current speed and direction, pressure, temperature, and light transmission and photographs the bottom. The system can be deployed for periods of 2–6 months to monitor intermitent...
Sequential development of the Appalachian orogen above a master decollement - A hypothesis
L. D. Harris (compiler), K.C. Bayer
1979, Geology (7) 568-572
Surface geology and seismic-reflection data suggest that rather than having a massive rooted central core the southern part of the Appalachian orogen from the Appalachian Plateau to the Atlantic continental shelf is underlain by an eastward-dipping decollement zone. We infer that this decollement zone was a long-lived structural element, intermittently...
Similarities between the thick-skinned Blue Ridge anticlinorium and the thin-skinned Powell Valley anticline
L. D. Harris (compiler)
1979, Geological Society of America Bulletin (90) 525-539
The Blue Ridge anticlinorium in northern Virginia is a part of an integrated deformational system spanning the area from the Piedmont to the Appalachian Plateaus. Deformation intensity within the system decreases from east to west. Differences of opinion have emerged concerning the central Appalachians as to whether the basement rocks...

Middle Miocene marine diatoms from the Hawthorn Formation within the Ridgeland Trough, South Carolina and Georgia
William H. Abbott, George W. Andrews
1979, Micropaleontology (25) 225-271
Diatomaceous sediments in outcrops of the Miocene Hawthorn Formation at Dawsons Landing in South Carolina and at Berrys Landing in Georgia, have yielded a total of 111 marine diatom taxa. Varving of the diatomaceous clay suggests that the diatoms were deposited in a restricted basin or lagoonal area that had...
Depth occurrences of foraminifera along the southeastern United States
R. Todd
1979, Journal of Foraminiferal Research (9) 277-301
The shelf samples are rich with their diversity increasing seaward to the edge of the shelf or the upper part of the continental slope. Miliolids and elphidiids predominate on the inner part of the shelf. Their dominance gives way to textulariids and bolivinids as the shelf edge is approached. Cassidulinids...

Geodolite measurements of deformation near Hollister, California, 1971-1978
James C. Savage, W.H. Prescott, Michael Lisowski, N. King
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 7599-7615
A 24‐station trilateration network spanning the San Andreas and Calaveras faults near Hollister, California, has been surveyed each year between 1971 and 1978, inclusive. Two moderate (ML = 5) earthquakes have occurred within the network during the interval. No convincing preseismic or coseismic anomalies associated with those earthquakes have been identified....
Deformation across the Salton Trough, California, 1973-1977
James C. Savage, W.H. Prescott, Michael Lisowski, N. King
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 3069-3079
A trilateration network extending across the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Elsinore faults in the vicinity of the Salton Sea, California, has been surveyed to very high precision several times in the 5‐year interval 1973–1977. The average strain across the entire network is essentially a uniaxial north‐south contraction at the...
Strain accumulation rates in the western United States between 1970 and 1978
W.H. Prescott, James C. Savage, W. T. Kinoshita
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 5423-5435
The rate of dilatation and the rate and direction of shear have been determined from trilateration data for 23 Geodolite networks in the western United States. Sixteen nets are located along the San Andreas fault system between Point Reyes, California, and the United States‐Mexico border. Other locations are across the...
Geodimeter measurements of strain during the Southern California Uplift
James C. Savage, W.H. Prescott
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 171-177
A review of geodimeter measurements made along the ‘big‐bend’ section of the San Andreas fault in southern California indicates no significant increment in strain during the period of major uplift (late 1959 to mid‐1963). Specifically, no evidence of an increment in compressional strain normal to the San Andreas fault at...
Recent crustal uplift in Yellowstone National Park
J.R. Pelton, R. B. Smith
1979, Science (206) 1179-1182
Comparison of precise leveling measurements made in 1923 with those made in 1975, 1976, and 1977 reveals that the 600,000-year-old Yellowstone caldera is being uplifted relative to its surroundings. Maximum relative uplift since 1923 is in excess of 700 millimeters - about 14 millimeters vertically per year. The most likely...

Managing the rippling stream: decisionmaking in natural resource administration
Harvey R. Doerksen, Berton L. Lamb
1979, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (15) 1707-1715
This article addresses the conflict which exists within the water resources decisionmaking arena over the allocation of water for instream uses. The discussion reviews the literature on public administration regarding decisionmaking, and is based on research performed by the authors which synthesizes a model of decisionmaking. This model can be...
Tolerance of developing salmonid eggs and fry to nitrate exposure
John W. Kincheloe, Gary A. Wedemeyer, David L. Koch
1979, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (23) 575-578
This paper reports on tests which show significant effects on early salmonid life stages of nitrates at levels commonly found in groundwaters in geographical areas that are influenced by fertilizer application. It has long been known, from fish cultural experience, that in certain site specific locations, chronic problems can be...

1979, Science (206) 927-950
Voyager 2, during its encounter with the Jupiter system, provided images that both complement and supplement in important ways the Voyager 1 images. While many changes have been observed in Jupiter's visual appearance, few, yet significant, changes have been detected in the principal atmospheric currents. Jupiter's ring system...
