Geodetic slip rate for the eastern California shear zone and the recurrence time of Mojave desert earthquakes
J. Sauber, W. Thatcher, S.C. Solomon, M. Lisowski
1994, Nature (367) 264-266
Where the San Andreas fault passes along the southwestern margin of the Mojave desert, it exhibits a large change in trend, and the deformation associated with the Pacific/North American plate boundary is distributed broadly over a complex shear zone.

Volcanic gas emissions and their impact on ambient air character at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
A. J. Sutton, T. Elias, R. Navarrete
1994, Open-File Report 94-569
Currently, gas emissions from Kilauea occur from the summit caldera, along the middle East Rift Zone (ERZ), and where lava enters the ocean. We estimate that the current ERZ eruption of Kilauea releases between 400 metric tonnes of SO2 per day, during eruptive pauses, to as much as 1850 metric...
Use of sentinel mallards for epizootiologic studies of avian botulism
Tonie E. Rocke, C. J. Brand
1994, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (30) 514-522
Captive-reared mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were used as sentinels to study the epizootiology of avian botulism at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, Willows, California (USA) from 1986 to 1989. Sentinel mallards were wing-clipped, and 40 to 50 birds were confined in 1.6-ha enclosures in 11 selected wetlands (pools). Enclosures were searched...
