Geochronology of augen gneiss and related rocks, Yukon-Tanana terrane, east-central Alaska
John N. Aleinikoff, Cynthia Dusel-Bacon, Helen L. Foster
1986, Geological Society of America Bulletin (97) 626-637
Using several isotopic techniques, we have determined the ages of selected metamorphic rocks in the Yukon-Tanana terrane (YTT) of east-central Alaska. U-Pb zircon data from an augen gneiss body in the Big Delta quadrangle indicate that the granitoid protolith of the gneiss was intruded 341 ± 3 m.y. ago (lower...
Artificial propagation of coregonines in the management of the Laurentian Great Lakes
Thomas N. Todd
1986, Book chapter, Archiv fur Hydrobiologie. Advances in Limnology 22. Advances in fishery biology: Biology, exploitation, rearing and propogation of coregonid fishes
Numerous stresses caused wide fluctuations in the abundance of Great Lakes coregonine fishes during the last century. State, Provincial, and Federal agencies attempted to bolster these fisheries by stocking more than 32 billion fry of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and 6 billion fry of lake herring (C. artedii) over a...
An overview of environmental surveillance of waste management activities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
T.H. Smith, E.W. Chew, T.G. Hedahl, L. J. Mann, T.F. Pointer, G.B. Wiersma
1986, Book, Proceedings for 1986 Waste Management Symposium
The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), in southeastern Idaho, is a principal center for nuclear energy development for the Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Nuclear Navy. Fifty-two reactors have been built at the INEL, with 15 still operable. Extensive environmental surveillance is conducted at the INEL by DOE's Radiological...
Minturn and Sangre de Cristo formations of Southern Colorado: A prograding fan delta and alluvial fan sequence shed from the ancestral Rocky Mountains
D. A. Lindsay, R. F. Clark, S. J. Soulliere
1986, Book chapter, Paleotectonics and sedimentation in the Rocky Mountain Region, United States
The Middle Pennsylvania!) Minturn Formation and the Pennsylvanian-Permian Sangre de Cristo Formation of the northern Sangre de Cristo Range form a thick progradational sequence of coarse clastic sediments. These sediments were deposited along the western margin of the central Colorado trough during uplift of the late Paleozoic Uncompahgre highland, a...
Effects of urbanization on streamflow, sediment loads, and channel morphology in Pheasant Branch basin near Middleton, Wisconsin
W.R. Krug, G. L. Goddard
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4068
A 5-year, data-collection and modeling study was conducted on Pheasant Branch basin in and near Middleton, Wisconsin. The objectives of the study were to: (1) describe the streamflow characteristics, sediment transport, and stream-channel morphology in the Pheasant Branch basin; and (2) relate the above factors to changes caused by urbanization...
Economic Losses and Fatalities Due to Landslides
Robert L. Schuster, Robert W. Fleming
1986, Bulletin of the Association of Engineering Geologists (23) 11-28
Annual losses in the United States, Japan, Italy, and India have been estimated at 1 billion or more each. During the period 1971-74, nearly 600 people per year were killed by landslides worldwide; about 90 percent of these deaths occurred in the Circum-Pacific region. From 1967-82, 150 people per year...
Simulation of fluid flow and energy transport processes associated with high-level radioactive waste disposal in unsaturated alluvium
David W. Pollock
1986, Water Resources Research (22) 765-775
Many parts of the Great Basin have thick zones of unsaturated alluvium which might be suitable for disposing of high-level radioactive wastes. A mathematical model accounting for the coupled transport of energy, water (vapor and liquid), and dry air was used to analyze one-dimensional, vertical transport above and below an...
U-Pb geochronology of two augen gneiss terranes, Idaho: New data and tectonic implications
K. V. Evans, L. B. Fischer
1986, Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (23) 1919-1927
U–Pb isotopic analyses of cogenetic zircon suites revise the ages of two augen gneiss terranes in central and northern Idaho. The augen gneiss of Priest River yields an upper-intercept concordia age for only moderately discordant zircons of 1576 ± 13 Ma; there is no evidence of an inherited xenocrystic lead component. Because this...
A new model for humic materials and their interactions with hydrophobic organic chemicals in soil-water or sediment-water systems
R.L. Wershaw
1986, Journal of Contaminant Hydrology (1) 29-45
A generalized model of humic materials in soils and sediments, which is consistent with their observed properties, is presented. This model provides a means of understanding the interaction of hydrophobic pollutants with humic materials. In this model, it is proposed that the humic materials in soils and sediments consist of...
Pb, Sr, Nd, and Hf isotopic constraints on the origin of Hawaiian basalts and evidence for a unique mantle source
P. Stille, D.M. Unruh, M. Tatsumoto
1986, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (50) 2303-2319
Pb, Sr, Nd, and Hf isotopic relationships among basalts from the Hawaiian Islands suggest that these basalts were derived from three sources; the oceanic lithosphere (Kea end member), the depleted asthenosphere (posterosional end member) and a deep-mantle plume (Koolau end member).Hawaiian tholeiites are derived within the lithosphere and the isotopic...
Minasgeraisite, a new member of the gadolinite group from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
E.E. Foord, R. V. Gaines, J.G. Crock, W.B. Simmons Jr., C.P. Barbosa
1986, American Mineralogist (71) 603-607
Minasgeraisite, Y2CaBe2Si2O10, a 9.833(2), b 7.562(1), c 4.702(1) A, beta 90.46(6)o, P21/a, Z = 2, is a new member of the gadolinite group. Found in quantities of only several hundred mg in the Jaguaracu pegmatite, Minas Gerais, Brazil, it occurs as 0.2 to 1.0 mm-diameter rosettes, coating and intergrown with...
EVIDENCE FOR THREE MODERATE TO LARGE PREHISTORIC HOLOCENE EARTHQUAKES NEAR CHARLESTON, S. C.
Robert E. Weems, Stephen F. Obermeier, Milan J. Pavich, Gregory S. Gohn, Meyer Rubin, Richard L. Phipps, Robert B. Jacobson
1986, Conference Paper
Earthquake-induced liquefaction features (sand blows), found near Hollywood, S. C. , have yielded abundant clasts of humate-impregnated sand and sparse pieces of wood. Radiocarbon ages for the humate and wood provide sufficient control on the timing of the earthquakes that produced the sand blows to indicate that at least three...
Avian tuberculosis and salmonellosis in a whooping crane (Grus americana)
R. K. Stroud, C.O. Thoen, R. M. Duncan
1986, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (22) 106-110
The whooping crane has been the subject of intensive scientific study and management because it is an endangered species and has high public interest. Programs have been developed to identify critical habitat, to increase production through captive breeding, and in recent years, to use sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) as surrogate...
