A sampler for coring sediments in rivers and estuaries
Edmund A. Prych, D. W. Hubbell
1966, Geological Society of America Bulletin (77) 549-556
A portable sampler developed to core submerged unconsolidated sediments collects cores that are 180 cm long and 4.75cm in diameter. The sampler is used from a 12-m boat in water depths up to 20 m and in flow velocities up to 1.5m per second to sample river and estuarine deposits...
Glacier mass budget measurements by hydrologic means
Wendell V. Tangborn
1966, Water Resources Research (2) 105-110
Ice storage changes for the South Cascade Glacier drainage basin were determined for the 1957–1964 period using basin runoff and precipitation measurements. Measurements indicate that evaporation and condensation are negligible compared with the large runoff and precipitation values. Runoff, measured by a stream discharge station, averaged 4.04 m/yr; precipitation, determined...
Disequilibrium of the 238U series in basalt
B.L.K. Somayajulu, M. Tatsumoto, J.N. Rosholt, R. J. Knight
1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (1) 387-391
Radioisotope analyses of basalt samples from Hawaii, Japan, and Iwo Jima show that: (1)234U and238U are virtually in radioactive equilibrium, (2)230Th exceeds equilibrium values in all these samples, (3)210Pb concentrations range from 10–200% of the equilibrium values and average 30% deficient, and...
Some effects of sublethal concentrations of sodium arsenite on bluegills and the aquatic environment
P.A. Gilderhus
1966, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (95) 289-296
Bluegills were exposed to sodium arsenite at various concentrations and treatment frequencies in outdoor pools. The effects of the treatments on the fish and invertebrates in the pools were assessed. Applications totaling 4.0 ppm or more of NaAsO2 during the experiment were reflected in reduced survival and growth of the...
Stream quality in Appalachia as related to coal-mine drainage, 1965
James E. Biesecker, J. Richard George
1966, Circular 526
A stream-quality reconnaissance at 318 locations in May 1965 offered the first opportunity for a contemporaneous regional collection and appraisal of water-quality data in Appalachia. The results provide a means of regional comparison of the influence of coal-mine drainage on stream quality at approximately median streamflow. The results disclose that...
Leveling
1966, Topographic instructions of the United States geological survey 2E1-2E5
Geodetic leveling by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a framework of accurate elevations for topographic mapping. Elevations are referred to the Sea Level Datum of 1929....
Rare earths in phosphorites: Geochemistry and potential recovery
Z. S. Altschuler, Sol Berman, Frank Cuttitta
1966, Open-File Report 66-3
Rare earths are but trace constituents of marine apatite. However, as millions of tones of such apatite are dissolved annually to make phosphoric acid, an opportunity exists for greatly increasing RE output as by-product of fertilizer production. New, complete, quantitative analysis of RE in representative apatite concentrates reveal that the...
Sediment movement on the continental shelf near Washington and Oregon
M. Grant Gross, Jack L. Nelson
1966, Science (154) 879-885
The nuclides zinc-65 and cobalt-60 associated with river-borne particulate matter are incorporated in sediment on the Continental Shelf near the Colum- ia River. Changes in the relative concentrations of zinc-65 and cobalt-60 and in the ratio of the activity of zinc-65 and cobalt-60 suggest that radioactive sediment moves northward 12...
Determination of Columbia River flow times from Pasco, Washington using radioactive tracers introduced by the Hanford reactors
Jack L. Nelson, R.W. Perkins, W.L. Haushild
1966, Water Resources Research (2) 31-39
Radioactive tracers introduced into the Columbia River in cooling water from the Hanford reactors were used to measure flow times downstream from Pasco, Washington, as far as Astoria, Oregon. The use of two tracer methods was investigated. One method used the decay of a steady release of Na24 (15-hour half-life)...
Some blood chemistry values for five Chesapeake Bay area fishes
J. B. Hunn, P.F. Robinson
1966, Chesapeake Science (7) 173-175
Blood samples from gizzard shad,largemouth bass, white perch, pumpkinseed, and toadfish were analyzed for hemoglobin, total plasma protein, total plasma cholesterol, and ion concentrations of plasma sodium, potassium, and chloride. The hemoglobin concentration and total plasma cholesterol found in a given species seem to have positive correlation with the customary activity level...
Effects of weathering on the UPb ages of zircon from the Morton Gneiss, Minnesota
T. W. Stern, S. S. Goldich, M. F. Newell
1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (1) 369-371
Weathering has caused large losses of lead from the zircon in the residual clay derived from the Morton Gneiss of southwestern Minnesota, drastically reducing the 206Pb/238U and the 207Pb/235U ages. The 207Pb/206Pb age probably has not been significantly affected. Loss of lead by leaching during weathering has not been adequately...
