P. Toulmin III, A. K. Baird, B. C. Clark, Klaus Keil, H. J. Rose Jr.
1973, Icarus (20) 153-178
The inorganic chemical investigation added in August 1972 to the Viking Lander scientific package will utilize an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer in which four sealed, gas-filled proportional counters will detect X-rays emitted from samples of the Martian surface materials irradiated by X-rays from radioisotope sources (55Fe and 109Cd). The output...
Petrography and stratigraphy of glacial drift, Mesabi-Vermilion Iron Range area, northeastern Minnesota
Thomas C. Winter, R. D. Cotter, H. L. Young
1973, Bulletin 1331-C
Glacial deposits in the Mesabi-Vermilion Iron Range area consist of four major till units and associated glaciofluvial sediments. Particle-size data and pebble, heavy-mineral, clay-mineral, and percentage-soluble content were used in addition to field description of color and texture to describe and correlate the drift units. The lowermost till unit, basal till,...
Radial particle-size segregation during packing of particulates into cylindrical containers
C.D. Ripple, R.V. James, J. Rubin
1973, Powder Technology (8) 165-175
In a series of experiments, soil materials were placed in long cylindrical containers, using various packing procedures. Soil columns produced by deposition and simultaneous vibratory compaction were dense and axially uniform, but showed significant radial segregation of particle sizes. Similar results were obtained with deposition and simultaneous impact-type compaction when...

Biochemical monitoring of water after the Cannikin event, Amchitka Island, Alaska, August 1973
Wilbur C. Ballance
1973, Report
Radiochemical data from the Amchitka Island study area were obtained from water samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during August 1973. Tritium determinations were made on 86 samples collected and gross alpha and gross beta/gamma determinations were made on 38 samples. The range of data for these samples was...
Summary of ground-water data, Post Headquarters and adjacent areas, White Sands Missile Range
T. E. Kelly
1973, Report
Geohydrologic data have been obtained from more than 100 wells and test holes that have been drilled in the Post Headquarters and adjacent areas of White Sands Missile Range. Observation-well data show that, in general, a continuous decline of the water table has occurred in the vicinity of the well...

Comparison of the magnetic properties of glass from Luna 20 with similar properties of glass from the Apollo missions
F. E. Senftle, A. N. Thorpe, C.C. Alexander, C.L. Briggs
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1053-1062
Magnetic susceptibility measurements have been made on four glass spherules and fragments from the Luna 20 fines; two at 300°K and two from 300°K to 4°K. From these data the magnetic susceptibility extrapolated to infinite field, the magnetization at low fields and also...
Annual compilation and analysis of hydrologic data for urban studies in the Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area, 1971
F.H. Tovar
1973, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Water Development Board, began hydrologic studies in the Austin urban area in 1954. The objectives of this project are as follows: 1. To determine the effects of progressive urbanization on infiltration, rates of peak discharge, and rainfall-runoff...
A method to determine waterfowl shooting distances
D.A. Davenport, G.A. Sherwood, H. W. Murdy
1973, Wildlife Society Bulletin (1) 101-105
Long-range shooting at ducks and geese frequently results in a high crippling loss, unretrieved birds and frustrated hunters. A principal problem has been the general inability of hunters or observers to properly judge distance of birds. This paper describes a reasonably accurate method developed to determine shooting distances to geese....
Production of superheated steam from vapor-dominated geothermal reservoirs
A.H. Truesdell, D. E. White
1973, Geothermics (2) 154-173
Vapor-dominated geothermal systems such as Larderello, Italy, The Geysers, California, and Matsukawa, Japan yield dry or superheated steam when exploited. Models for these systems are examined along with production data and the thermodynamic properties of water, steam and rock. It is concluded that...
An empirical NaKCa geothermometer for natural waters
R.O. Fournier, A.H. Truesdell
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1255-1275
An empirical method of estimating the last temperature of water-rock interaction has been devised. It is based upon molar Na, K and Ca concentrations in natural waters from temperature environments ranging from 4 to 340°C. The data for most geothermal waters cluster near a straight line when plotted as the...
Radiochemical monitoring of water after the Cannikin event, Amchitka Island, Alaska, July 1972
Wilbur C. Ballance, L.J. Schroder
1973, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey established a sampling program on Amchitka Island in 1967 in cooperation with the U.S . Atomic Energy Commission. Water samples are analyzed routinely for tritium, gross alpha, and gross beta/gamma content, Frequency of sampling was semiannually prior to Cannikin and has been bimonthly since the Cannikin...

Orbital-science investigation: Part O: regional variations in the magnitude of heiligenschein and causal connections
Robert L. Wildey
1972, Book chapter, Apollo 15 preliminary science report (NASA SP-289)
Approximately 35 reasonably good candidates for specialized photometric studies were found during a thorough examination of the frames exposed by the Apollo 15 metric camera. Of these, the majority was of value in heiligenschein studies (refs. 25-36 to 25-38). A few were of value for limited-interval delineation of the photometric...
