Radiochemical monitoring of water after the Cannikin event, Amchitka Island, Alaska, July 1972
Wilbur C. Ballance, L.J. Schroder
1973, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey established a sampling program on Amchitka Island in 1967 in cooperation with the U.S . Atomic Energy Commission. Water samples are analyzed routinely for tritium, gross alpha, and gross beta/gamma content, Frequency of sampling was semiannually prior to Cannikin and has been bimonthly since the Cannikin...

History of salmon in the Great Lakes, 1850-1970
John W. Parsons
1973, Technical Paper 68
This history of the salmon in the Great Lakes describes the decline and extinction of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Lake Ontario in the 1800's; the failure to establish, by salmon culture, permanent or sizable populations of Atlantic or Pacific salmon in any of the Great Lakes in 1867-1965;...
Lead concentration and isotopic composition in five peridotite inclusions of probable mantle origin
R. E. Zartman, F. Tera
1973, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (20) 54-66
The lead content of five whole-rock peridotite inclusions (four lherzolites and one harzburgite) in alkali basalt ranges from 82 to 570 ppb (parts per billion). Approximately 30–60 ppb of this amount can be accounted for by analyzed major silicate minerals (olivine ≤...
An empirical NaKCa geothermometer for natural waters
R.O. Fournier, A.H. Truesdell
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1255-1275
An empirical method of estimating the last temperature of water-rock interaction has been devised. It is based upon molar Na, K and Ca concentrations in natural waters from temperature environments ranging from 4 to 340°C. The data for most geothermal waters cluster near a straight line when plotted as the...

1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1031-1052
Microscopic and electron microprobe studies were made of polished thin sections of part of a 30-mg sample of 250–500 μm lunar soil returned by Luna 20 from a point between Mare Fecunditatis and Mare Crisium. Very fine-grained lithic (crystalline) rock fragments, composing about...
Annual compilation and analysis of hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1971
F.H. Tovar
1973, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Water Development Board, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. The objectives of this project are as follows: 1. To determine the effects of progressive urbanization on infiltration, rates of peak discharge, and rainfall-runoff...

Biochemical monitoring of water after the Cannikin event, Amchitka Island, Alaska, August 1973
Wilbur C. Ballance
1973, Report
Radiochemical data from the Amchitka Island study area were obtained from water samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during August 1973. Tritium determinations were made on 86 samples collected and gross alpha and gross beta/gamma determinations were made on 38 samples. The range of data for these samples was...

GROUNDWATER FEATURES OF SIX LOWLAND AREAS IN THE KLAMATH BASIN OF OREGON--KLAMATH MARSH AREA, AND SPRAGUE RIVER, SWAN LAKE, YONNA, POE, AND LANGELL VALLEYS--ARE DESCRIBED. RUGGED MOUNTAINS AND RIDGES SURROUND AND SEPARATE THESE LOWLANDS WHERE FLOORS RANGE IN ALTITUDE FROM 4,100 FEET IN POE...
Radial particle-size segregation during packing of particulates into cylindrical containers
C.D. Ripple, R.V. James, J. Rubin
1973, Powder Technology (8) 165-175
In a series of experiments, soil materials were placed in long cylindrical containers, using various packing procedures. Soil columns produced by deposition and simultaneous vibratory compaction were dense and axially uniform, but showed significant radial segregation of particle sizes. Similar results were obtained with deposition and simultaneous impact-type compaction when...
K, Rb, Sr and 87Sr 86Sr in rocks from the Mid-Indian Oceanic Ridge
K.V. Subbarao, C. E. Hedge
1973, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (18) 223-228
The 87Sr/86Sr ratios of Mid-Indian Oceanic Ridge (MIOR) basalts are nearly identical (0.7032 to 0.7035), with the exception of one more highly radiogenic sample (0.7043). These values are consistently higher than the strontium isotopic ratios of the ridge basalts from Atlantic and...

Determination of indium in rocks by substoichiometric radioisotope dilution analysis
L. Paul Greenland, E.Y. Campbell
1973, Analytica Chimica Acta (67) 29-36
Rocks containing 10–140 ng of indium per g are decomposed with hydrofluoric and nitric acids in the presence of 114In. Indium is separated from other constituents by sequential extractions of the bromide, cupferronate, and acetylacetonate, and is then reacted with a substoichiometric amont of EDTA. Excess...
Ultrafiltration by a compacted clay membrane-II. Sodium ion exclusion at various ionic strengths
B.B. Hanshaw, T.B. Coplen
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 2311-2327
Several recent laboratory studies and field investigations have indicated that shales and compacted clay minerals behave as semipermeable membranes. One of the properties of semipermeable membranes is to retard or prevent the passage of charged ionic species through the membrane pores while allowing relatively free movement of uncharged species. This...
