Hawaiian Volcano Observatory record book 1963
1963, Report
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) record books are annual journals in which field observations of eruptive activity at Kīlauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, on the Island of Hawaiʻi, were compiled by HVO staff for most years from 1912 through early 1966. In addition to descriptive observations, the record books also...
Surface water records of California, 1963; Volume 2: Northern Great Basin and Central Valley
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1963, Water Data Report CA-63-2
The surface-water records for the 1963 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of California are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the...
Dispersion in natural streams
Richard G. Godfrey, Bernard J. Frederick
1963, Report
Eleven tests were conducted to study the dispersion patterns of a radiotracer in five natural stream channels and in one canal. The radiotracer was injected as a line source. The patterns of dispersion that were observed in these channels were compared with patterns predicted by the theoretical models for one-dimensional...

The peg claims spodumene pegmatites, Maine
H. W. Sundelius
1963, Economic Geology (58) 84-106
The Peg Claims pegmatites are located southwest of Rockland in the towns of Warren and Cushing, Knox County, Maine. These pegmatites are representative of a group of zoned, granitic, lithium-bearing pegmatites in which spodumene is present nearly from wall to wall. The pegmatites are discordant, steeply dipping, tabular bodies in the Penobscot quartz-mica schist near...
Releasing-addition method for the flame-photometric determination of calcium in thermal waters
J.J. Rowe
1963, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (27) 915-923
Study of the interferences of silica and sulfate in the flame-photometric determination of calcium in thermal waters has led to the development of a method requiring no prior chemical separations. The interference effects of silica, sulfate, potassium, sodium, aluminum, and phosphate are overcome by an addition technique coupled with the...

Some climatic indicators in the period A.D. 1200-1400 in New Mexico
Luna Bergere Leopold, Estella B. Leopold, F. Wendorf
1963, Conference Paper
Three centuries before Columbus landed in America, the alluvial valleys of the south-western United States teemed with activity. The indigenous peoples had been building for 300 years a culture centred around community life based on flood-water farming and on hunting. A large number of pueblos had developed on sites earlier...
Diffusion of herbicides through plastic film
W.R. Bridges, Herman O. Sanders
1963, Progressive Fish-Culturist (25) 213-214
Plastic film have been used by fishery workers as barriers to subdivide experimental ponds in order to assess the value of some chemical treatment, and as test vessels to contain dilute solutions or suspensions of toxic chemicals in experiments conducted to establish tolerance levels of these chemicals for fish....
Quantitation of microorganic compounds in waters of the Great Lakes by adsorption on activated carbon
Stacy L. Daniels, Lloyd L. Kempe, E. S. Graham, Alfred M. Beeton
1963, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 6th Conference on Great Lakes Research
Microorganic compounds in waters of Lakes Michigan and Huron have been sampled by adsorption on activated carbon in filters installed aboard the M/V Cisco and at the Hammond Bay Laboratory of the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The organic compounds were eluted from the carbon according to techniques developed at the U.S....
Association and determinacy in geomorphology
Luna Bergere Leopold, Walter Basil Langbein
Claude C. Albritton Jr., editor(s)
1963, Book chapter, The fabric of geology
You find a rock. It looks like an ordinary piece of flint, broken and rough. On a part of it is a patina whose soft grey color contrasts with the shiny brownish surfaces of conchoidal fracture. You could have found this rock in nearly any kind of an environment almost...
Simple measurements of morphological changes in river channels and hillslopes
J.P. Miller, Luna Bergere Leopold
1963, Conference Paper
One of the principal types of observational evidence on climatic changes in the recent geologic past is in river position and elevation. It is well known that river channels, particularly those flowing through alluvium or on relatively soft bedrock, tend to develop flood plains by lateral migration of the channel....
A plane-type soil sampler
Paul J. Frey
1963, Progressive Fish-Culturist (25) 46-49
While studying the effects of pesticides on fish and their environment for the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, I have developed a soil sampler that will collect a thin uniform layer of sediment from pond and stream bottoms. As it is becoming increasingly important to analyze the residual deposits...

George W. Sandberg
1963, Utah Basic-Data Report 6
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 the period 1935-62 by the U.S. Geological Survey...
Unmineralized fossil bacteria
W. H. Bradley
1963, Science (141) 919-921
Unmineralized bacterial cells, mostly Micrococcus sp., but including also Streptococcus sp. and Actinomyces sp., were found in enormous numbers in lake beds of the Newark Canyon Formation of Early Cretaceous age, Eureka County, Nevada. The micrococci are black, and have an average diameter about 0.5 µ. Similar black micrococci (0.4...
Population analyses, variation and behavior of Anguispira alternata alternata
Charles L. Douglas
1963, Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (66) 186-194
Anguispira alternata alternata is one of the more common terrestrial snails in the United States. Gregarious by nature, these snails can be collected in large numbers from wooded flood-plains and moist upland wooded areas. "The range is eastern Canada and the United States, from Nova Scotia to Lake of...

E.A. McGregor
1963, Report
These references were collected in 1924, but until now this collection has been available only in manuscript:fbrm. Because of the current increased interest in this field, this bibliography is being issued to make it more generally accessible. They include the earliest known references to fish parasites (330 B. C.) as...
Limnological survey of Lake Erie 1959 and 1960
Alfred M. Beeton
1963, Technical Report 6
Federal, provincial, state, and university organizations participated in cooperative limnological surveys of Lake Erie in September 1959 and August 1960 to determine the extent and severity of the low dissolved-oxygen content of the hypolimnetic waters. Observations were restricted to the central basin in 1959, but were lake-wide in 1960....

Age, growth, and maturity of round whitefish of the Apostle Islands and Isle Royale Regions, Lake Superior
Merryll M. Bailey
1963, Fishery Bulletin (63) 63-75
The round whitefish has been of some commercial importance in the upper Great Lakes but production in Lake Superior has generally been small; the United States average was 26,600 pounds for 1929-59. This study is based on 1,173 fish collected in the Apostle Islands in 1958-60 and 103 collected at...
