Fluvial processes in geomorphology
Luna Bergere Leopold, M. Gordon Wolman, John P. Miller
1964, Book
This excellent text is a pioneering work in the study of landform development under processes associated with running water. Its primary emphasis is on subjects that were the focus of the authors' studies in both field and laboratory. Part I deals with the process of change in the evolving landscape....
[Book review] Politics and water resources
Luna Bergere Leopold
1964, Science (144) 402-403
Arizona is a state in which development has proceeded sufficiently rapidly relative to the available water supply that its water problems are as acute as those of nearly any other state in the Union. Owing to the fact that, in the past, the principal use of water was for irrigation,...
Selected hydrologic data, upper Sevier River basin, Utah
Carl H. Carpenter, Gerald B. Robinson Jr., Louis Jay Bjorklund
1964, Utah Basic-Data Report 8
This report is intended to serve two purposes: (1) to make available to the public basic ground-water data useful in planning and studying development of water resources, and (2) to supplement an interpretive report that will be published later.Records were collected during 1961-63 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation...
Developing a State Water Plan: A basic water resource data program for Utah
Ted Arnow, R.H. Langford, M. T. Wilson
1964, Cooperative Investigations Report 1
Reliable data on Utah's water resources are essential to development of a State Water plan. While the need for such data was outlined in the report entitles "Developing a State Water Plan - Utah's water resources, problems, and needs - A challenge" published by the Utah Water and Power Board...
Studies of pre-Selma Cretaceous core samples from the outcrop area in western Alabama
Watson Hiner Monroe, Richard E. Bergenback, Norman F. Sohl, Esther R. Applin, Estella B. Leopold, Helen M. Pakiser, Louis C. Conant
1964, Bulletin 1160
In 1954 four core holes were drilled in the pre-Selma Cretaceous strata of the Alabama Coastal Plain in order to get unweathered samples within a few miles of the outcrops. During the next few years several specialists studied the cores, and their reports are published as consecutive parts of this...
Potassium-argon and lead-alpha ages of plutonic rocks, Bokan Mountain area, Alaska
M. A. Lanphere, E.M. MacKevett Jr., T. W. Stern
1964, Science (145) 705-707
Most of the granitic rocks in the Bokan Mountain area, southeastern Alaska, are early Paleozoic (probably Ordovician) judged by potassium-argon and lead-alpha age measurements. The Bokan Mountain Granite, the youngest intrusive unit in the area, belongs to a Mesozoic plutonic episode. These age measurements are the first direct evidence for...
Minor-element composition and organic carbon content of marine and nonmarine shales of Late Cretaceous age in the western interior of the United States
H. A. Tourtelot
1964, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (28) 1579-1604
The composition of nonmarine shales of Cretaceous age that contain less than 1 per cent organic carbon is assumed to represent the inherited minor-element composition of clayey sediments delivered to the Cretaceous sea that occupied the western interior region of North America. Differences in minor-element content between these samples and...
Natural carbon-14 activity of organic substances in streams
A.A. Rosen, M. Rubin
1964, Science (143) 1163-1164
Carbon-14 measurements made on organic contaminants extracted from streams show percentages of industrial waste and domestic sewage. The method, used previously for studies of the atmosphere, can be used in studies of pollution sources....
Crystal formation in furunculosis agar
G. L. Bullock, A. J. Ross
1964, Progressive Fish-Culturist (26) 25-26
SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION SOME MONTHS AGO, FURUNCULOSIS AGAR has been employed in the diagnosis of suspect furunculosis and also as a general purpose medium. During our work with this medium we have noticed discrete "colonies," of crystalline material, which very closely resemble microbial colonies. These crystal colonies are compact and appear...
Life history of lake herring in Lake Superior
William R. Dryer, Joseph Beil
1964, Fishery Bulletin (63) 493-530
The average annual commercial catch of lake herring (Coregonus artedi) in U.S. waters of Lake Superior was nearly 12 million pounds in 1929-61. This production contributed 62.4 percent of the total U.S. take of lake herring for the Great Lakes. About 90 percent of the annual catch is...
Age, growth, sex ratio, and maturity of the whitefish in central Green Bay and adjacent waters of Lake Michigan
Donald Mraz
1964, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (63) 619-634
This study is based on 1,023 whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis (Mitchill)--819 in seven samples from five localitites in central Green Bay in 1948-49 and 1851-52 and 204 in a single 1948 collection from northwestern Lake Michigan proper. Records of age indicated unusual strength for only one year class--1943 which strongly dominated...
Chemical characteristics of south-central Lake Huron
Herbert E. Allen
1964, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 8th Conference on Great Lakes Research
Water samples were collected for chemical analysis during eight cruises of the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries M/V CISCO in south-central Lake Huron in June-October 1956. Temperature, pH, conductivity, and the concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca++, C1-, SO4-, SiO2, and dissolved oxygen were determined for 233 samples from stations at...
Pentaborate polyanion in the crystal structure of ulexite, NaCaB5O6(OH)6*5H2O
Joan R. Clark, Daniel E. Appleman
1964, Science (145) 1295-1296
Triclinic ulexite crystals contain isolated borate polyanions [B5O6(OH)6]3- related to the well known pentaborate polyanion [B5O6(OH)4]- by addition of two hydroxyl groups to two opposite B-O triangles. The isolated ulexite polyanions form the [B5O7(OH)4]n3n- chains previously found in crystals of the related mineral probertite, NaCaB5O7(OH)4·3H2O....
Paleozoic mollusk: Hyolithes
L. Marek, E. L. Yochelson
1964, Science (146) 1674-1675
An unusually well-preserved Ordovician fossil from Czechoslovakia shows that the enigmatic paired structures once thought to be outgrowths of the operculum of Hyolithes are really independent structures lying between the operculumn and the aperture of the shell. The find seems to provide conclusive proof of the morphologic uniqueness of hyolithids....
Isotopic composition of lead and strontium from Ascension and Gough Islands
P.W. Gast, G.R. Tilton, C. Hedge
1964, Science (145) 1181-1185
Isotopic composition of lead and strontium has been determined in a series of rock samples from two islands on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Both inter-and intra-island variations exist in the abundance of radiogenic isotopes of both elements. Lead from basalt of Ascension Island has a Pb206-Pb 204 ratio of 19.5, while...
Infrared surveys of Hawaiian volcanoes
W. A. Fischer, R.M. Moxham, F. Polcyn, G.H. Landis
1964, Science (146) 733-742
Aerial infrared-sensor surveys of Kilauea volcano have depicted the areal extent and the relative intensity of abnormal thermal features in the caldera area of the volcano and along its associated rift zones. Many of these anomalies show correlation with visible steaming and reflect convective transfer of heat to the...
Fused rock from Köfels, Tyrol
Daniel J. Milton
1964, Tschermaks Mineralogische und Petrographische Mitteilungen (9) 86-94
The vesicular glass from Köfels, Tyrol, contains grains of quartz that have been partially melted but not dissolved in the matrix glass. This phenomenon has been observed in similar glasses formed by friction along a thrust fault and by meteorite impact, but not in volcanic glasses. The explosion of a...
The electrum-tarnish method for the determination of the fugacity of sulfur in laboratory sulfide systems
P. B. Barton Jr., P. Toulmin III
1964, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (28) 619-640
A new method for the determination of the fugacity of sulfur in laboratory systems consists of visual observation of the development and decomposition of a sulfide tarnish phase on silver-gold alloy (electrum) of precisely known composition. The alloy system is calibrated against pure sulfur. The method has the following advantages:...
A thermodynamic study of pyrite and pyrrhotite
P. Toulmin III, P. B. Barton Jr.
1964, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (28) 641-671
Through the use of the electrum-tarnish method the following equation has been found to interrelate the composition of pyrrhotite, fugacity of sulfur, and temperature: In this equation fs2 is the fugacity of sulfur relative to the ideal diatomic gas at 1 atm, N is the mol fraction of FeS in pyrrhotite (in the...
