Well-construction, water-level, geophysical, and water-quality data for ground-water monitoring wells for Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee
C.J. Hough, E.N. Mahoney, J. A. Robinson
1992, Open-File Report 92-135
Sixty-five wells were installed at 39 sites in the Arnold Air Force Base area in Coffee and Franklin Counties, Tennessee. The wells were installed to provide information on subsurface lithology, aquifer characteristics, ground-water levels, and ground-water quality. Well depths ranged from 11 to 384 feet. Water-quality samples were collected from 60...
Water-supply potential of major streams and the upper Floridan Aquifer in the vicinity of Savannah, Georgia
Reggina Garza, R.E. Krause
1992, Open-File Report 92-629
Long-term pumping from the Upper Floridan aquifer in the Savannah, Georgia, area has lowered ground-water levels, resulting in increased salinity of ground water by seawater encroachment at Hilton Head Island, S.C., and by saltwater intrusion at Brunswick, Ga. Increased pumpage could cause further salinization of the ground-water resources. The Savannah...
Modelling the bathymetry of the Antarctic continental shelf
Uri S. ten Brink, William P. Rogers, R. M. Kirkham
1992, Conference Paper, Recent progress in Antarctic Earth Science
Continental shelves are typically covered by relatively shallow waters (<200 m) which deepen gradually from the coast to the shelf edge. The continental shelf around Antarctica is deeper than normal (400-700m) and is characterized in many areas by a nearshore trough (up to 1 km deep) that gradually shallows toward...
Semi-implicit finite difference methods for three-dimensional shallow water flow
Vincenzo Casulli, Ralph T. Cheng
1992, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids (15) 629-648
A semi-implicit finite difference method for the numerical solution of three-dimensional shallow water flows is presented and discussed. The governing equations are the primitive three-dimensional turbulent mean flow equations where the pressure distribution in the vertical has been assumed to be hydrostatic. In the method of solution a minimal degree...
Contrasting P‐T‐t paths: Thermochronologic evidence for a Late Paleozoic final assembly of the Avalon Composite Terrane in the New England Appalachians
R. P. Wintsch, J. F. Sutter, Michael J. Kunk, John N. Aleinikoff, Michael J. Dorais
1992, Tectonics 672-689
Strongly contrasting pressure‐temperature‐time paths for the Avalon composite terrane and the structurally overlying Putnam‐Nashoba zone in eastern New England obtained from thermochronologic and thermobarometric data are best explained by a late Paleozoic underthrusting of cover rocks by the Avalon composite terrane. We present new Ar and U‐Pb thermochronologic data that...
Size bias in traditional analyses of substitutive competition experiments
James B. Grace, Janet R. Keough, Glenn R. Guntenspergen
1992, Oecologia (90) 429-434
The objective of this study was to examine the claim that traditional measures of competitive performance in substitutive experiments are biased towards larger plants. Results from a three-year diallele experiment of 6 marsh plant species were analyzed using both Relative Yields (a traditional analysis) and the Relative Efficiency Index...
Ecology of band-tailed pigeons in Oregon
R. L. Jarvis, M.F. Passmore
1992, Biological Report - US Fish & Wildlife Service (6)
The ecology of band-tailed pigeons (Columba fasciata) was investigated in western Oregon to assess the roles of survival and recruitment to population status and the relation of food, minerals, and diet to reproduction strategy. Band-tailed pigeons congregated at mineral deposits to consume minerals from mid-June to mid-September. Males generally arrived...
Physical oceanographic investigation of Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays
W. Rockwell Geyer, George B. Gardner, Wendell S. Brown, James D. Irish, Bradford Butman, T.C. Loder, Richard P. Signell
1992, Report
This physical oceanographic study of the Massachusetts Bays (fig. 1) was designed to provide for the first time a bay-wide description of the circulation and mixing processes on a seasonal basis. Most of the measurements were conducted between April 1990 and June 1991 and consisted of moored observations to study...
Remote sensing studies of the geomorphology of Surtsey, 1987-1991
James B. Garvin, R. S. Williams Jr.
1992, Report
The volcanic island of Surtsey, formed by explosive submarine and effusive subaerial eruptions between November 1963 and June 1967, consists of a complex combination of primary and redeposited tephra and alkaline olivine basalt lava flows in a 2.5 km2 area (Thorarinsson, 1967; Thorarinsson et al., 1964; Fridriksson, 1975). During the...
Gravity modelling across the Transantarctic Mountains, Northern Victoria Land
T.F. Redfield, J. C. Behrendt
1992, Book chapter, Recent Progress in Antarctic Earth Science: Terra Scientific Publishing Company
During GANOVEX V and GANOVEX VI, new gravity data were collected in northern Victoria Land. The GANOVEX V data cover the Mt. Melbourne 1:250.000 quadrangle, while the GANOVEX VI data Transantarctic Mountains south of the Drygalski Ice Tongue. The two data sets are connected by a coastal traverse. The measurements...
530 Ma zircon age for ophiolite from the New England orogen: Oldest rocks known from eastern Australia
J.C. Aitchinson, T. R. Ireland, M. Clark Blake Jr., P.G. Flood
1992, Geology (20) 125-128
New ion microprobe data provide constraints on the timing of formation of ophiolitic rocks in the New England tectonic collage in eastern Australia. Results for analyses of magmatic zircons from plagiogranite of the Weraerai terrane ophiolite at Upper Bingara give a 206pb/238|j ag e Qf 53Q ± 6 Ma (2a)....
Numerical modelling of uplift and subsidence adjacent to the Transantarctic Mount front
T.A. Stern, Uri S. ten Brink, M.P. Bott
1992, Conference Paper, Recent Progress in Antarctic Earth Science
The Transantarctic Mountains form one of the largest rift shoulder uplifts in the world. Uplift of the mountains, and coeval subsidence in the Ross Embayment, are modelled with both elastic flexure equations and with the viscoelastic finite element method. Most of the geological constraints are adequately satisfied by the elastic...
Interoceanic variation in the rare earth, major, and trace element depositional chemistry of chert: Perspectives gained from the DSDP and ODP record
R.W. Murray, Marilyn R. Buchholtz ten Brink, David C. Gerlach, G. Price Russ, David L. Jones
1992, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (56) 1897-1913
Rare earth element (REE), major, and trace element abundances and relative fractionations in forty nodular cherts sampled by the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) indicate that the REE composition of chert records the interplay between terrigenous sources and scavenging from the local seawater. Major and...
Rift flank uplifts and Hinterland Basins: Comparison of the Transantarctic Mountains with the Great Escarpment of southern Africa
Uri S. ten Brink, T. Stern
1992, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (97) 569-585
Uplifted rift margins are a common feature of continents and oceans. Two variants of rift flank morphologies have been recognized: One in which the topography warps down from an inland high toward the continental margin, and one where the tropographic peak lies close to the continental margin. The Great Escarpment...
Diagenetic formation of bedded chert: Evidence from chemistry of the chert-shale couplet
Richard L. Murray, David L. Jones, Marilyn R. Buchholtz ten Brink
1992, Geology (20) 271-274
Theories concerning the formation of bedded chert traditionally have emphasized either depositional or diagenetic processes. Major and rare earth element data from Franciscan assemblage (Mesozoic) and Claremont Formation (Miocene) bedded chert sequences, along with physical observations such as the presence of rare and highly corroded radiolarians in shale interbeds, are...

1992, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results
The relative effects of paleoceanographic and paleogeographic variations, sediment lithology, and diagenetic processes on the final preserved chemistry of Japan Sea sediments are evaluated by investigating the rare earth element (REE), major element, and trace element concentrations in 59 squeeze-cake whole-round and 27 physical-property sample residues from Sites 794, 795,...
Rare earth, major, and trace element composition of Monterey and DSDP chert and associated host sediment: Assessing the influence of chemical fractionation during diagenesis
R.W. Murray, Marilyn R. Buchholtz ten Brink, David C. Gerlach, G. Price Russ, David L. Jones
1992, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (56) 2657-2671
Chert and associated host sediments from Monterey Formation and Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) sequences were analyzed in order to assess chemical behavior during diagenesis of biogenic sediments. The primary compositional contrast between chert and host sediment is a greater absolute SiO2 concentration in chert, often with final SiO2 ≥ 98 wt%....
