Optimal exploitation strategies for an animal population in a stochastic serially correlated environment
David R. Anderson
1974, Dissertation Abstracts International (35) 3107
Optimal exploitation strategies were studied for an animal population in a stochastic, serially correlated environment. This is a general case and encompasses a number of important cases as simplifications. Data on the mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) were used to explore the exploitation strategies and test several hypotheses because relatively...

Thin and layered subcontinental crust of the Great Basin western North America inherited from Paleozoic marginal ocean basins?
Michael Churkin Jr., E.H. McKee
1974, Tectonophysics (23) 1-15
The seismic profile of the crust of the northern part of the Basin and Range province by its thinness and layering is intermediate between typical continental and oceanic crust and resembles that of marginal ocean basins, especially those with thick sedimentary fill. The...

Floodflows from small drainage areas in Oklahoma : progress report and data compilation
Wilbert O. Thomas Jr., Robert K. Corley
1974, Open-File Report 74-1099
Annual peak discharges and basin and climatic characteristics, computed during the 10 years of the project, are summarized for 103 small-stream sites in Oklahoma. The U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff model was calibrated for six small watersheds in Oklahoma. Calibration results, discussed in this report, indicate that the rainfall-runoff model can...

Digital modeling of radioactive and chemical waste transport in the Snake River plain aquifer at the National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho
J.B. Robertson
1974, Open-File Report 74-1089
Industrial and low-level radioactive liquid wastes at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) in Idaho have been disposed to the Snake River Plain aquifer since 1952. Monitoring studies have indicated that tritium and chloride have dispersed over a 15-square mile (39-square kilometer) area of the aquifer in low but detectable...

Surficial geologic map of the Framingham quadrangle, Middlesex and Worcester Counties, Massachusetts
Arthur E. Nelson
1974, Geologic Quadrangle 1176
The Framingham quadrangle covers about 55 square miles and is centered approximately 18 miles west of Boston. Even though the major topographic features are controlled by the lithology and structure of the bedrock, glacial features, such as drumlins, kames and kettles, kame terraces, eskers, gently sloping deltas, and flat-lying lake-bottom...
Mathematical model of San Juan Valley ground-water basin, San Benito County, California
Robert E. Faye
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-58
A mathematical model study of the San Juan Valley ground-water basin in San Benito County, Calif., has quantitatively described the ground-water hydrology of the basin under past, present, and future conditions of development. An analysis of conditions in the basin prior to large-scale ground-water development indicates that net recharge equaled...
Seawater intrusion, ground-water pumpage, ground-water yield, and artificial recharge of the Pajaro Valley area, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, California
K. S. Muir
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-9
The Pajaro Valley area, California, covering about 120 square miles (310 km2), extends from the southern part of Santa Cruz County to several miles south of the county line into Monterey County. It borders the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Santa Cruz Mountains on the east. The city...
An investigation of basin effects on flood discharges in North Dakota
Orlo A. Crosby
1974, Open-File Report 74-346
An investigation of the relationship of peak discharge to causative storm variables and drainage-basin characteristics was made to provide guidelines for future analyses of frequency and magnitudes of floods from small drainage areas. The procedure used was (l) to estimate peak discharges on the ll study basins from multiple-regression models developed from the storm variables and...
Simulated effects of oil-shale development on the hydrology of Piceance basin, Colorado
John B. Weeks, George H. Leavesley, Frank A. Welder, George J. Saulnier Jr.
1974, Open-File Report 74-255
The Piceance and Yellow Creeks drainage area is about 900 square miles (2,330 square kilometres) and is referred to as the Piceance basin, or simply as the basin. The surface-water and ground-water systems in the Piceance basin are intimately related. The annual volume of runoff from the basin (Piceance and...
