Evaluation of available data on the geohydrology, soil chemistry, and ground-water chemistry of Gas Works Park and surrounding region, Seattle, Washington
M. A. Sabol, G. L. Turney, G.N. Ryals
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4045
Gas Works Park, in Seattle, Washington, is located at the site of an abandon gasification plant on Lake Union. Wastes deposited during 50 years of plant operations (1906-1956) have extended the shore line 100 ft and left the park soil contaminated with a number of hazardous material. Soil contaminants include...

Preliminary appraisal of the effects of land use on water quality in stratified-drift aquifers in Connecticut
S. J. Grady, M. F. Weaver
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4005
The stratified-drift aquifers that underlie 7.9 sq mi of the Potatuck and 12.7 sq mi of the Pomperaug River valley, CT, consist primarily of sand and gravel deposits up to 150 ft thick. Average horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the stratified drift ranges from 20 to 170 ft/day, and groundwater flows...
Relationships between silicic plutonism and volcanism: Geochemical evidence
R. Macdonald, R.L. Smith
1988, Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Earth Sciences (79 ) 257-263
Field associations (voluminous ash flow deposits, rhyolitic stocks and dykes, ring complexes), evidence of repeated influxes of mafic magma, and thermal constraints indicate that many high-level silicic plutons (magma chambers) acted as open systems for considerable parts of their history. The long thermal lifetime, as well as other evidence from...
Field validation of a habitat suitability index model for the American oyster
Thomas M. Soniat, Michael S. Brody
1988, Estuaries (11) 87-95
A habitat suitability index (HSI) model, developed for the American oyster,Crassostrea virginica, along the Gulf of Mexico, was field tested on 38 0.1-ha reef and nonreef sites in Galveston Bay, Texas. The HSI depends upon six (HSI1) or, optionally, eight (HSI2) variables. The six variables are percent of...
Assessment of sampling stability in ecological applications of discriminant analysis
Byron K. Williams, Kimberly Titus
1988, Ecology (69) 1275-1285
A simulation study was undertaken to assess the sampling stability of the variable loadings in linear discriminant function analysis. A factorial design was used for the factors of multivariate dimensionality, dispersion structure, configuration of group means, and sample size. A total of 32 400 discriminant analyses were conducted, based on...

An exploration geochemical technique for the determination of preconcentrated organometallic halides by ICP-AES
J. M. Motooka
1988, Applied Spectroscopy (42) 1293-1296
An atomic absorption extraction technique which is widely used in geochemical exploration for the determination of Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cd, Cu, Mo, Pb, Sb, and Zn has been modified and adapted to a simultaneous inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission instrument. The experimental and operating parameters are described for the preconcentration...
Status of dugongs in waters around Palau

1988, Marine Mammal Science (4) 265-270
The dugong, Dugong dugon, is widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific region in shallow tropical and subtropical waters (Nishiwaki and Marsh 1985).The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources lists the species as vulnerable (Thornback and Jenkins 1982), as it is severely depleted or extinct in many parts of...
Sublethal landrin toxicity: Behavioral and physiological effects on captive vultures
D.L. Forthman-Quick, E. F. Hill
1988, Journal of Wildlife Management (52) 233-237
Use of conditioned taste aversion (CTA) has been proposed to reduce consumption of California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) eggs by ravens (Corvus corax). Although landrin has induced aversions in ravens and other birds, no data were available on behavioral and physiological effects of landrin on condors, non-target birds that might consume...

Linear solvation energy relationships for toxicity of selected organic chemicals to Daphnia pulex and Daphnia magna
Dora R. M. Passino, James P. Hickey, Anthony M. Frank
1988, Book, Proceedings of the QSAR: third international workshop on quantitative structure-activity relationships in environmental toxicology
In the Laurentian Great Lakes, more than 300 contaminants have been identified in fish, other biota, water, and sediment. Current hazard assessment of these chemicals by the National Fisheries Research Center-Great Lakes is based on their toxicity, occurrence in the environment, and source. Although scientists at the Center have tested...
Vertical seismic profiling of Oroville microearthquakes: Velocity spectra and particle motion as a function of depth
P. E. Malin, J. A. Waller, Roger D. Borcherdt, E. Cranswick, Edward G. Jensen, J. Van Schaak
1988, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (78) 401-420
Direct evidence of site distortion of P- and S-wave microearthquake source spectra at Oroville, California, is presented. The data were gathered by placing vertical and three-component seismometers at 90 m intervals in a 500 m borehole through the Cleveland Hill normal fault, on which the 1975, ML = 5.7 Oroville earthquake took place. High-pressure,...
Internal inconsistencies in dispersion-dominated models that incorporate chemical and microbial kinetics
Fred J. Molz, Mark A. Widdowson
1988, Water Resources Research (24) 615-619
Current understanding of transport processes in aquifers is limited by lack of precise point chemical concentration measurements. Recently, however, some careful measurements of vertical chemical concentration profiles have been made at several locations around the world that appear to support a consistent picture concerning the persistence of large vertical concentration...
The effects of hunting on survival rates of American black ducks
David G. Krementz, Michael J. Conroy, James E. Hines, H. Frankin Percival
1988, Journal of Wildlife Management (52) 214-226
Using data from 10 preseason and 10 winter major reference areas from 1950-83, the authors tested hypotheses regarding the effects of hunting on the survival and recovery rates of the American black duck (Anas rubripes). Although estimates of the proportion of total annual mortality due to hunting are low (35%...
