Chemical and mineralogical analysis of devonian black-shale samples from Martin County, Kentucky; Carroll and Washington counties, Ohio; Wise County, Virginia; and Overton County, Tennessee, U.S.A.
J.S. Leventhal, J. W. Hosterman
1982, Chemical Geology (37) 239-264
Core samples of Devonian shales from five localities in the Appalachian basin have been analyzed chemically and mineralogically. The amounts of major elements are similar; however, the minor constituents, organic C, S, phosphate and carbonate show ten-fold variations in amounts. Trace elements Mo, Ni, Cu, V, Co, U, Zn, Hg,...
Ultrasonic borehole televiewer investigation of oceanic crustal layer 2A, Costa Rice Rift
Mark D. Zoback, R.N. Anderson
1982, Nature (295) 375-379
In situ lithostratigraphy and the distribution of fracture and void zones in oceanic layer 2A were examined with an ultrasonic borehole televiewer at IPOD sites 501 and 504B on the south flank of the Costa Rice Rift. These records indicate a decrease in the size of basalt pillows with depth...

1982, DNAG Special Publication 1
The objective of this Decade of North American Geology (D-NAG) volume will be to focus on the Mesozoic and Cenozoic evolution of the U.S. Atlantic continental margin, including the onshore coastal plain, related onshore Triassic-Jurassic rift grabens, and the offshore basins and platforms. Following multiple compressional tectonic episodes between Africa...
Worth of geophysical data in natural- disaster- insurance rate setting.
E. D. Attanasi, M.R. Karlinger
1982, Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology (21) 453-460
Insurance firms that offer natural-disaster insurance base their rates on available information. The benefits from collecting additional data and incorporating this information to improve parameter estimates of probability distributions that are used to characterize natural-disaster events can be determined by computing changes in premiums as a function of additional data....

Acid rain, air pollution, and tree growth in southeastern New York
L.J. Puckett
1982, Journal of Environmental Quality (11) 376-381
Whether dendroecological analyses could be used to detect changes in the relationship of tree growth to climate that might have resulted from chronic exposure to components of the acid rain-air pollution complex was determined. Tree-ring indices of white pine (Pinus strobus L.), eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Cart.), pitch pine...
Volatilization of organic compounds from streams
Ronald E. Rathburn, D. Y. Tai
1982, Journal of Environmental Engineering (108) 973-989
Mass-transfer coefficients for the volatilization of ethylene and propane were correlated with the hydraulic and geometric properties of seven streams, and predictive equations were developed. The equations were evaluated using a normalized root-mean-square error as the criterion of comparison. The two best equations were a two-variable equation containing the energy...
Rifting history and structural development of the continental margin north of Alaska
Arthur Grantz, S. D. May
1982, Book chapter, M 34: Studies in continental margin geology
Seismic-reflection profiles in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea and onshore geology indicate that the continental margin north of Alaska is of Atlantic type. Rifting appears to have begun in earliest Jurassic time, about 190 to 185 m.y. ago, when crustal extension created a rift-valley system beneath the Beaufort shelf and part...
Population and status of Emperor Geese along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula
Margaret R. Petersen, Robert E. Gill Jr.
1982, Wildfowl (33) 31-38
We gathered information on the timing of spring and autumn migration of Emperor Geese Anser canagicus from Nelson Lagoon, the age ratios of geese during autumn migration, and the numbers of geese in estuaries along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula and Bristol Bay during spring and autumn migration....
Intraslope basins in Northwest Gulf of Mexico; a key to ancient submarine canyons and fans
A.H. Bouma
1982, Book chapter, M 34: Studies in Continental Margin Geology
The hummocky, diapirically deformed Texas-Louisiana continental slope includes three major types of intraslope basins: blocked-canyon intraslope basin, interdomal basin, and collapse basin. Major sand bodies present in the blocked-canyon intraslope basins are used to determine the sedimentary history of the Tertiary and Quaternary of this area. During relative lowering of...

Digital model of predevelopment flow in the Tertiary limestone (Floridan) aquifer system in west-central Florida
Paul D. Ryder
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-54
A computer model was calibrated to approximate predevelopment flow conditions in a multilayered aquifer system in 10,600 square miles in west-central Floria. The lowermost aquifer, called the Floridan aquifer, is confined in most of the study area and consists of carbonate rocks ranging up to 1,300 feet thick. The Floridan...

The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts require the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to survey certain areas on Federal lands to determine their mineral-resource potential. Results must be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and...
