How wet is wet? Precipitation constraints on late Quaternary climate in the southern Arabian Peninsula
W.W. Wood, Jeffrey L. Imes
1995, Journal of Hydrology (164) 263-268
It is generally recognized that the southern Arabian Peninsula has had two wet periods in the late Quaternary. To quantify ‘wet’ a 28 000 year old capillary surface associated with a paleowater-table was mapped and used as a surrogate for the water table in a ground-water model. Analysis of this...

Lake Pepin is a large, natural riverine lake in the upper Mississippi River downstream of the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the confluence with the Minnesota River, which are sources of suspended sediments and pollutants (nutrients and potentially toxic materials). The lake has a history of water quality problems and...
Precipitation depth-duration characteristics, Antelope Valley, California

1995, Conference Paper, International Water Resources Engineering Conference - Proceedings
To document the changes in runoff characteristics of basins subject to urbanization, streamflow and precipitation data were collected at eight small basins in Antelope Valley, California, for the period 1990-93. The data collected at U.S. Geological Survey stations were supplemented by data collected at 35 long-term precipitation stations. These data...
Occurrence of active and inactive herbicide ingredients at selected sites in Iowa

1995, Water, Air, & Soil Pollution (83) 21-35
The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrence of herbicide active and inactive ingredients (primarily volatile organic compounds) at four selected sites in Iowa representing drain tiles, observation wells, or lysimeters. Water samples were collected monthly and bi-monthly before and after herbicide applications in 1991, respectively. They...
Some tests of the "migration hypothesis" for anadromous Dolly Varden (southern form)
David R. Bernard, Kelley R. Hepler, J. Douglas Jones, Mary E. Whalen, Douglas N. McBride
1995, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (124) 297-307
Some aspects of a previously described migratory paradigm for the southern form of anadromous Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma were investigated with seven 3‐year mark–recapture experiments on fish that used lakes in eight watersheds as their winter residence. Weirs on Kodiak Island, around Prince William Sound, and near Juneau, Alaska, were used to...

M. Boardman, editor(s)
1995, Conference Paper, Proceeding of the 7th Symposium on the Geology of the Bahamas
San Salvador Island, Bahamas is a 161 Km2 tectonically stable late Quaternary carbonate island located 600 km east-southeast of Miami FL. San Salvador contains numerous flank margin caves (phreatic karst features) that developed primarily in late Pleistocene eolianites. These caves developed during a short time in versy small fresh-water lenses....
