Agricultural land use and water quality in the upper St. Joseph River basin, Michigan
T. Ray Cummings
1978, Open-File Report 78-950
Land use in the upper St. Joseph River basin of south-central Michigan is primarily agricultural. In the 144-square-mile area, the chemical and physical characteristics of water are determined by the climate and soils, as well as by land conservation practices. Municipal waste discharges affect water quality at some locations, as...
Development of a technique for the rapid estimation of earthquake losses
Sylvester Theodore Algermissen, M.B. McGrath, S.L. Hanson
1978, Open-File Report 78-440
A simple, general technique has been outlined for the rapid, approximate estimation of building losses resulting from ground shaking during earthquakes. The technique has been applied to the San Francisco Bay area. Ground shaking, ground failures of various kinds, surface faulting, tsunamis, and earthquake induced fires are all responsible for...
Lithium-bearing rocks of the Horse Spring Formation, Clark County, Nevada
Elizabeth F. Brenner-Tourtelot, Richard K. Glanzman
1978, Energy (3) 255-262
The Horse Spring Formation of Miocene age in Clark County, Nevada, contains as much as 0.5% Li in individual samples. Rock sequences which average 0.1% Li range from 3 m thick near Gold Butte (south of Mesquite, Nev.) to as much as 40 m thick near Lava Butte (east...
Identification and significance of accessory minerals from a bituminous coal
R. B. Finkelman, R.W. Stanton
1978, Fuel (57) 763-768
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used to study the in situ accessory minerals in polished blocks and pellets of petrographically analysed samples of the Waynesburg coal (hvb). Individual grains from the low-temperature ash (LTA) of the same coal were also studied. The visual resolution of the SEM permitted the detection...
Black monazite from Taiwan
J.J. Matzko, W.C. Overstreet
1977, Proceedings of the Geological Society of China (20) 16-35
Two forms of detrital monazite are known in offshore bars in southwestern Taiwan: a yellow-green to colorless form and an unusual but abundant pelletlike form, generally black but also colored gray or brown. These black pellets, which are about 160 by 200 microns in size, are composed of fine-grained monazite...
Earthworm populations as related to woodcock habitat usage in Central Maine
J.W. Reynolds, W.B. Krohn, G.A. Hordan
Daniel M. Keppie, Ray B. Owen Jr., editor(s)
1977, Book chapter, Proceedings of the Sixth Woodcock Symposium, held at Fredericton, New Brunswick, October 4, 5 and 6
Lumbricid earthworms were sampled 'on two central Maine study areas between late April and early September, 1974, to relate earthworm abundance to use of feeding covers by American woodcock(Philoheli minor). On sampling days, occurring at 2 to 3 week intervals, a formalin solution was applied to thirty O.25m areas in...
Rare earths, thorium, and other minor elements in sphene from some plutonic rocks in west-central Alaska
Mortimer H. Staatz, Nancy M. Conklin, Isabelle K. Brownfield
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 623-628
Sphene is an abundant accessory mineral in some abnormally radioactive plutonic rocks in west-central Alaska. Seven samples of sphene from four different areas in west-central Alaska contained from 20350 to 39180 parts per million total rare earths and 390 to 2000 ppm thorium. The lanthanide content in six of the...
The Permian and Triassic Seven Devils Group, western Idaho and northeastern Oregon
Tracy L. Vallier
1977, Bulletin 1437
Volcanogenic Permian and Triassic rocks in the Snake River Canyon of western Idaho and northeastern Oregon and in the adjacent Seven Devils Mountains of western Idaho are assigned to the Seven Devils Group. New rock-stratigraphic units are the Windy Ridge Formation of probable Early Permian age, the Hunsaker Creek Formation...
