Carbonate-Sulfate Volcanism on Venus?
Jeffrey S. Kargel, Randolph L. Kirk, Bruce Fegley Jr., Allan H. Treiman
1994, Icarus (112) 219-252
Venusian canali, outflow channels, and associated volcanic deposits resemble fluvial landforms more than they resemble volcanic features on Earth and Mars. Some canali have meandering habits and features indicative of channel migration that are very similar to meandering river channels and flood plains on Earth, venusian outflow channels closely resemble...
Transport of sludge-derived organic pollutants to deep-sea sediments at deep water dump site 106
H. Takada, J.W. Farrington, Michael H. Bothner, C.G. Johnson, B.W. Tripp
1994, Environmental Science & Technology (28) 1062-1072
Linear alkylbenzenes (LABs), coprostanol and epi-coprostanol, were detected in sediment trap and bottom sediment samples at the Deep Water Dump Site 106 located 185 km off the coast of New Jersey, in water depths from 2400 to 2900 m. These findings clearly indicate that organic pollutants derived from dumped sludge...

Effects of sediment depositional environment and ground-water flow on the quality and geochemistry of water in aquifers in sediments of Cretaceous age in the coastal plain of South Carolina
Gary K. Speiran, Walter R. Aucott
1994, Water Supply Paper 2416
The quality and geochemistry of ground water are significantly affected by the depositional environment of aquifer sediments. Cretaceous sediments in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina have been deposited in fluvial, delta-plain, marginal-marine, and marine environments. Depositional environments of sediments within a single aquifer may grade from nonmarine, fluvial, or...

Ice diamict comprising clasts of glacier ice and subordinate rock debris in a matrix of ice (snow) grains, coarse ash, and frozen pore water was deposited during the eruption of Redoubt Volcano on December 15, 1989. Rounded clasts of glacier ice and snowpack are as large as 2.5 m, clasts...
The Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake of October 17, 1989 — Hydrologic disturbances
Stuart A. Rojstaczer, editor(s)
1994, Professional Paper 1551-E
Seismic events have long been known to cause changes in the level of oceans, streams, lakes, and the water table. The great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 induced significant hydrologic changes that were qualitatively similar to those changes observed for the Loma Prieta earthquake. What is different is that the...
Data requirements for simulation of hydrogeologic effects of liquid waste injection, Harrison and Jackson Counties, Mississippi
Richard A. Rebich
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4021
Available literature and data were reviewed to quantify data requirements for computer simulation of hydrogeologic effects of liquid waste injection in southeastern Mississippi. Emphasis of each review was placed on quantifying physical properties of current Class I injection zones in Harrison and Jackson Counties. Class I injection zones are zones...
Petrophysical analysis of geophysical logs of the National Drilling Company-U.S. Geological Survey ground-water research project for Abu Dhabi Emirate, United Arab Emirates
Donald G. Jorgensen, Mario Petricola
1994, Water Supply Paper 2417
A program of borehole-geophysical logging was implemented to supply geologic and geohydrologic information for a regional ground-water investigation of Abu Dhabi Emirate. Analysis of geophysical logs was essential to provide information on geohydrologic properties because drill cuttings were not always adequate to define lithologic boundaries. The standard suite of logs...
Geologic map of science study area 4, Chasma Boreale Region of Mars
A. L. Dial Jr., J. M. Dohm
1994, IMAP 2357
This map is one is a series of 1:500,000 scale maps initiated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to investigate Science Study Areas (selected area of scientific interest) on Mars (fig. 1). The Chasma Boreale region merits detailed geologic study because it contains parts of (1) the north...

Yields of bedrock wells in Massachusetts
B. P. Hansen, A.C. Simcox
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4115
Six to seven percent of the population of Massachusetts obtains its water from domestic bedrock wells. Additional public, commercial, industrial, and domestic supplies from bedrock will be needed in the future. Information about the factors that are related to large well yields is needed. The factors associated with well yields...
Involvement of rainbow trout leucocytes in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis
S. Chilmonczyk, J. R. Winton
1994, Diseases of Aquatic Organisms 89-94
Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus myluss leucocytes were tested for their ability to support replication of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). Viral replication occurred in vitro uslng leucocytes cultured from peripheral blood, kidney, and thymus where viral titers peaked at 2 to 4 d post-inoculation. Leucocytes collected from trout following waterborne challenge...

Stephen J. Grady
1994, Water Supply Paper 2381-B
Human activities associated with agricultural, residential, commercial, and industrial land uses have affected the quality of water in the four stratified-drift aquifers examined in Connecticut. A study to evaluate quantitatively the effects of human activities, expressed as land use, on regional ground-water quality was initiated in 1984 as part of...
