Ground control requirements for precision processing of ERTS images
Thomas C. Burger
1973, Book
With the successful flight of the ERTS-1 satellite, orbital height images are available for precision processing into products such as 1:1,000,000-scale photomaps and enlargements up to 1:250,000 scale. In order to maintain positional error below 100 meters, control points for the precision processing must be carefully selected, clearly definitive on...
Pleistocene succession of the central interior United States
J.C. Frye
1973, Quaternary Research (3) 275-283
The Quaternary of the continental interior of the United States is characterized by deposits from glacial ice, with associated outwash and eolian deposits, and by alluvial deposits produced by the same climatic pulses. Erosional incision of valleys occurred early in the glacial pulse, outwash deposition during the waning phase of...
Sea level history in Beringia during the past 250,000 years
D.M. Hopkins
1973, Quaternary Research (3) 520-540
This paper attempts to relate current knowledge of sea-level history in Beringia to the Broecker-van Donk “Termination” concept of climatic and sea-level history. The Einahnuhtan transgression is thought to represent Termination III, which according to Broecker and van Donk, took place about 225,000...
Structure of the crust in the conterminous United States
David H. Warren, J. H. Healy
1973, Tectonophysics (20) 203-213
On the basis of the newest interpretations of all sufficiently long seismic profiles, a contour map of the Mohorovičić discontinuity for the conterminous United States is compiled. Differences from earlier interpretations are discussed....
Mechanisms of high-temperature, solid-state flow in minerals and ceramics and their bearing on the creep behavior of the mantle
Stephen H. Kirby, C.B. Raleigh
1973, Tectonophysics (19) 165-194
The problem of applying laboratory silicate-flow data to the mantle, where conditions can be vastly different, is approached through a critical review of high-temperature flow mechanisms in ceramics and their relation to empirical flow laws. The intimate association of solid-state diffusion and high-temperature creep in pure metals is found to...
Spectrophotometric procedure using rhodamine B for determination of submicrogram quantities of antimony in rocks
Marian M. Schnepfe
1973, Talanta (20) 175-184
A spectrophotometric procedure using Rhodamine B is given for the determination of antimony in mineralized rocks after its separation as stibine. A study of the Rhodamine B reaction points to the importance of the order of addition of reagents in enhancing sensitivity and increasing the stability...

Predicted effects of proposed navigation improvements on residence time and dissolved oxygen of the salt wedge in the Duwamish River estuary, King County, Washington
W.L. Haushild, J.D. Stoner
1973, Open-File Report 73-102
A model of the circulation and quality of water in the Duwamish River estuary has been sufficiently developed to allow prediction of the effects of a proposed widening and deepening of waterways on residence time and dissolved oxygen in the estuary's salt wedge. For a low river-discharge period in August...

Hydrogeology of glacial drift, Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota
Thomas C. Winter
1973, Water Supply Paper 2029-A
Stratified fluvial sediments occur within the glacial drift at many places in the Mesabi Iron Range area. These sediments, which are important aquifers, occur extensively between the three main till units. The thickest and most extensive aquifer consists of glaciofluvial sediments that lie between the surficial till and the middle...

Role of water in urban planning and management
William Joseph Schneider, David A. Rickert, Andrew Maute Spieker
1973, Circular 601-H
Concentrations of people in urban areas intensify water problems such as flooding and pollution, but these deleterious effects on water resources can be minimized or corrected by comprehensive planning and management. Such planning of the water resources of an urban area must be based on adequate hydrologic data. Through the use...

The purpose of this report is to describe the physical environment, availability, characteristics, distribution, movement, and quality of water in the lower Wisconsin River basin. In addition, water use and water problems are summarized to aid in water management within the basin. Detailed water studies will be necessary as the...
