Results of a detailed infill lake-sediment survey in the Snow Lake area: Evaluation and comparison of grab sample and short core data
P.W.B. Friske
1996, Bulletin of the Geological Survey of Canada 257-277
As part of the Exploration Science and Technology Initiative (EXTECH) program a detailed infill lake-sediment and water survey was undertaken in the Snow Lake area during the fall of 1991. This involved the collection of 346 lake sediment grab samples and concomitant waters. In 1993, additional work was undertaken involving...
Outburst floods from glacier-dammed lakes: The effect of mode of lake drainage on flood magnitude
Joseph S. Walder, John E. Costa
1996, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms (21) 701-723
Published accounts of outburst floods from glacier‐dammed lakes show that a significant number of such floods are associated not with drainage through a tunnel incised into the basal ice—the process generally assumed—but rather with ice‐marginal drainage, mechanical failure of part of the ice dam, or both. Non‐tunnel floods are strongly correlated with...
Similarities and life cycle distributions of floras of 22 national parks in the midwestern United States
James P. Bennett
1996, Natural Areas Journal (16) 303-309
Twenty-two midwestern U.S. national parks were studied to examine the similarities of their floras and analyses of the floras in each national park were used to construct groupings of these smaller sample areas at various similarity levels in order to classify larger floristic areas. The parks were not on average...

1996, Conservation Biology (10) 863-873
Population viability analysis programs are being used increasingly in research and management applications, but there has not been a systematic study of the congruence of different program predictions based on a single data set. We performed such an analysis using four population viability analysis computer programs: GAPPS, INMAT, RAMAS/AGE, and...

Hydrogeologic terranes and potential yield of water to wells in the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Province in the eastern and southeastern United States
E. F. Hollyday, G. E. Hileman
1996, Professional Paper 1422-C
The Valley and Ridge Physiographic Province is underlain by deformed sedimentary rock of Paleozoic age including dolomite, limestone, shale, and sandstone. Regolith (soil, sediment, and weathered rock) covers the Paleozoic rock throughout most of the province. Local differences in lithology, structure, and weathering can result in four orders of magnitude...
