Surface faults in the gulf coastal plain between Victoria and Beaumont, Texas
Earl R. Verbeek
1979, Tectonophysics (52) 373-375
Displacement of the land surface by faulting is widespread in the Houston-Galveston region, an area which has undergone moderate to severe land subsidence associated with fluid withdrawal (principally water, and to a lesser extent, oil and gas). A causative link between subsidence and fluid extraction has been convincingly reported in...

Nesting ecology of Arctic loons
Margaret R. Petersen
1979, The Wilson Bulletin (91) 608-617
Arctic Loons were studied on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, from the time of their arrival in May to their departure in September, in 1974 and 1975. Pairs arrived on breeding ponds as soon as sufficient meltwater was available to allow their take-off and landing. Loons apparently do not initiate nests...

A selected bibliography of remote sensing applications to soil science
Thomas R. Loveland, Daniel B. Carter, William C. Draeger
1979, Report
The bibliography contains approximately 200 references dealing with the application of remote sensing technology to the identification and analysis of soils. The scientific papers and reports listed describe procedures and methods used in data collection and include specific applications of those data to soil studies. Most citations discuss current work...
Coccolith and silicoflagellate stratigraphy, northern mid-Atlantic Ridge and Reykjanes Ridge, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 49
David Bukry
1979, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (49) 551-581
Leg 49 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project recovered 192 cores at eight drilling sites, 407 through 414 (Figure 1). Light-microscope techniques were used to study the cocoliths, silicoflagellates, and sponge spicules of 120 samples from these cores. The cocolith zonation of the samples follows Bukry (1975a), and is summarized...
Correlation of lunar far-side magnetized regions with ringed impact basins
K.A. Anderson, D.E. Wilhelms
1979, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (46) 107-112
By the method of electron reflection, we have identified seven well-defined magnetized regions in the equatorial belt of the lunar far side sampled by the Apollo 16 Particles and Fields subsatellite. Most of these surface magnetic fields lie within one basin...
Random crustal magnetization and its effect on coherence of short-wavelength marine magnetic anomalies
R.J. Blakely
1979, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (46) 43-48
Recent studies of DSDP samples from layer 2A of oceanic basement have found complex magnetic stratigraphies that seem incompatible with the frequent existence of linear short-wavelength anomalies caused by palaeomagnetic field behavior. Statistical models are developed for the lateral variation of...

Earthquakes, September-October 1978
W. J. Person
1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 71-73
The months of September and October were somewhat quiet seismically speaking. One major earthquake, magnitude (M) 7.7 occurred in Iran on September 16. In Germany, a magntidue 5.0 earthquake caused damage and considerable alarm to many people in parts of that country. In the United States, the largest earthquake occurred...
Data on ground-water resources of the Spring Mountains area, Toiyabe National Forest, Nevada
William D. Nichols, Louise E. Davis
1979, Open-File Report 79-1638
This report lists data on ground-water levels for 16 wells and discharge for 18 springs in the Spring Mountain area of the Tolyabe National Forest. Water levels in wells ranged from 325 to 519 feet below land surface. The highest spring discharge listed is 107 gallons per minute. In addition,...
Geohydrology of Brooks, Lowndes, and western Echols Counties, Georgia
R.E. Krause
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-117
The principal artesian aquifer, a limestone of Eocene to Miocene age, is the main source of water supply for Brooks, Lowndes, and western Echols Counties in south Georgia. Pumpage of about 22 million gallons perday from this prolific aquifer has not posed any problems regarding declining water levels or depletion...
Revised geomagnetic polarity time scale for the interval 0–5 m.y. B.P.
Edward A. Mankinen, G. Brent Dalrymple
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 615-626
A change in the constants used in K‐Ar dating and a significant increase in new data have made a recompilation and recomputation of data used to define the Late Cenozoic K‐Ar polarity time scale highly desirable at this time. All available data in the range 0–5 m.y. have been recalculated...
Minerals, lands, and geology for the common defence and general welfare, Volume 1, Before 1879 : A history of public lands, federal science and mapping policy, and development of mineral resources in the United States
Mary C. Rabbitt
1979, Book
This volume, the first of a four-volume study, is concerned with events in the United States before the establishment of the U.S. Geological Survey, during the years in which geology evolved as a science and began to influence economic development and national policy. Subsequent volumes continue the story but focus...
Artificial transmission to and susceptibility of Puget Sound fish to viral erythrocytic necrosis (VEN)
John R. MacMillian, Dan Mulcahy
1979, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (36) 1097-1101
In Puget Sound, Wash., the incidence of viral erythrocytic necrosis (VEN) varied geographically from 0 to 17% in chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) and from 4 to 59% in Pacific herring (Clupea harengus pallasi). The disease was experimentally transmitted by intraperitoneal injection to chum, pink (O. gorbuscha), coho (O. kisutch), chinook (O. tshawytscha), sockeye...
Physiological and biochemical aspects of ozone toxicity to rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
Gary A. Wedemeyer, Nancy C. Nelson, William T. Yasutake
1979, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (36) 605-614
An acute toxicity curve for dissolved ozone (O3) in soft water at 10 °C, using 10–13-cm rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) as the test species was calculated. The 96-h LC50 (95%, confidence interval) was 9.3 (8.1–10.6) μg/L. The lethal threshold level was about 8 μg/L mandating that a conservative margin of safety be...
Earthquakes; January-February, 1979
W. J. Person
1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 143-147
The first major earthquake (magnitude 7.0 to 7.9) of the year struck in southeastern Alaska in a sparsely populated area on February 28. On January 16, Iran experienced the first destructive earthquake of the year causing a number of casualties and considerable damage. Peru was hit by a destructive earthquake...
Modeling of rock friction 2. Simulation of preseismic slip
James H. Dieterich
1979, Conference Paper, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth
The constitutive relations developed in the companion paper are used to model detailed observations of preseismic slip and the onset of unstable slip in biaxial laboratory experiments. The simulations employ a deterministic plane strain finite element model to represent the interactions both within the sliding blocks and between the blocks...

Mathematics and mallard management
L.M. Cowardin, Douglas H. Johnson
1979, Journal of Wildlife Management (43) 18-35
Waterfowl managers can effectively use simple population models to aid in making management decisions. We present a basic model of the change in population size as related to survival and recruitment. A management technique designed to increase survival of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) by limiting harvest on the Chippewa National Forest,...
