1974, Report
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a...

A revised list of reference samples of interest to geoscientists has been extended to include samples for the agronomist, the archaeologist and the environmentalist. In addition to the source from which standard samples may be obtained, references or pertinent notes for some samples are included.The number of rock reference samples...
Geophysical evidence for the intersection of the St Paul, Cape Palmas and Grand Cess fracture zones with the continental margin of Liberia, West Africa
John C. Behrendt, J. Schlee, James M. Robb
1974, Nature (248) 324-326
PUBLISHED reconstructions of Gondwana continent1 (Fig. la) show a gap in fit near the junction of the Americas and Africa. To study this critical area, the Unitedgeo I made geophysical measurements and collected rock samples across the continental margin of Liberia (USGS-IDOE cruise leg 5) in November...
Interlamellar adsorption of carbon dioxide by smectites
J.J. Fripiat, M.I. Cruz, B.F. Bohor, J. Thomas Jr.
1974, Clays and Clay Minerals (22) 23-30
The adsorption of CO2 at low temperature (∼ −70°C) on thin films of homoionic smectites was studied by X-ray diffraction and by i.r. absorption. An increase in the d001 spacings of these clay films upon adsorption of CO2 was observed. In addition, a dichroic effect was readily discernible by comparing the i.r. spectra at...
Osmium, ruthenium, iridium and uranium in silicates and chromite from the eastern Bushveld Complex, South Africa
R.h. Gijbels, Hugh T. Millard Jr., G. A. Desborough, A.J. Bartel
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 319-337
Osmium, ruthenium, iridium and uranium contents were determined in eight ortho pyroxene, seven plagioclase, and three chromite mineral separates from the eastern Bushveld Complex. Neutron activation analysis was used to measure the platinum metals, and uranium was determined by a fission track technique....
40Ar/39Ar age spectra of some undisturbed terrestrial samples
G. Brent Dalrymple, M. A. Lanphere
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 715-738
40Ar/39Ar age spectra and 40Ar/36Ar vs 39Ar/36Ar isochrons were determined by incremental heating for 11 terrestrial rocks and minerals whose geology indicates that they represent essentially undisturbed systems. The samples include muscovite, biotite, hornblende, sanidine, plagioclase, dacite, diabase and basalt and range in age from...
Hydrologic Data for Urban Studies in the Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1972
E.E. Wehmeyer
1974, Report
The purpose of this report is to present rainfall and runoff data for the Waller Creek and Wilbarger Creek study areas for the 1972 water year (October 1, 1971 to September 30, 1972)....
Porosity, density, grain density, and related physical properties of sediments from the Red Sea drill cores
Frank T. Manheim, Linda Dwight, Rebecca A. Belastock
1974, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (23) 887-907
Representative sediments from each site were chosen for examination of their dry specific gravity and grain density. The determinations were made by micropycnometer; water was used as the displacing medium, and salt corrections were based on the refractive index measurements on interstitial water. For saltier brines the "salinities" derived from...

1973, Cooperative Investigations Report 12
This report is the tenth in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series are prepared cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources and are designed to provide data to enable interested parties such as legislators, administrators,...
Effect of salt on the response of birds to sucrose
J.G. Rogers Jr., O. Maller
1973, Physiological Psychology (1) 199-200
The preference of male red-winged blackbirds for solutions of sucrose and sucrose with 0.03 M sodium chloride was tested, using a two-bottle choice test. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that the birds were indifferent to 0.03 M NaCl in water. Both control and experimental animals exhibited indifference to the solutions at the...
Surface electrical properties experiment

1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
The surface electrical properties (SEP) experiment was used to explore the subsurface material of the Apollo 17 landing site by means of electromagnetic radiation. The experiment was designed to detect electrical layering, discrete scattering bodies, and the possible presence of water. From the analysis of the data, it was expected...
Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part D: repeatability of elevation measurements--Apollo photography
Sherman S.C. Wu, Francis J. Schafer, Gary M. Nakata, Raymond Jordan
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Stereoscopic photographs of the Moon taken by the metric and panoramic cameras on board the service module of Apollo spacecraft provide a source for quantitative data on lunar topography. The accuracy of the topographic data depends, in part, on the repeatability of elevation measurements. The repeatability depends on contrast in...
Crater studies: Part A: lunar crater morphometry
Richard J. Pike
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Morphometry, the quantitative study of shape, complements the visual observation and photointerpretation in analyzing the most outstanding landforms of the Moon, its craters (refs. 32-1 and 32-2). All three of these interpretative tools, which were developed throughout the long history of telescopic lunar study preceding the Apollo Program, will continue...
