Tektite 1, man-in-the-sea project: Marine Science Program
H.E. Clifton, C.V.W. Mahnken, J. C. Van Derwalker, R.A. Waller
1970, Science (168) 659-663
The Tektite experiment was designed to provide data for a number of behavioral, biomedical, and engineering studies in addition to the marine sciences program. Conditions for some of these studies were not altogether compatible with the program for the marine sciences. For example, isolation imposed by human behavioral studies precluded...
Role of gravity, temperature gradients, and ion exchange media in the formation of fossil brines
P. C. Mangelsdorf Jr., Frank T. Manheim, J. M. Gieskes
1970, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (54) 617-626
Calculations show that gravitational settling of ions in an isothermal sediment column could produce increases of equilibrium concentrations in pore waters ranging from 1 percent per 100 m depth for chloride to 4 percent per 100 m depth for strontium.The migration of ions in a thermal gradient (Soret effect) would...
Environmental conditions and resources of southwestern Mississippi
U.S. Geological Survey
1970, Report
The impending phase-out of Saturn V testing by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at the Mississippi Test Facility (MTF) necessitates consideration of possible alternative uses for the Facility and surrounding region. To make a rapid and up-to-date study of pertinent environmental factors in that region, remote sensing techniques and...
Sedimentary volumes and their significance
James Gilluly, John C. Reed Jr., Wallace M. Cady
1970, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (81) 353-375
Sedimentary volumes are of prime interest in many fields of geology: as measures of erosional rates, of geochemical balance, and recently, with the virtual demonstration of continental drift, as measures of movement of the continental and oceanic plates.The Basement Map of the United States, published by the U.S. Geological Survey...

Estimating steady-state evaporation rates from bare soils under conditions of high water table
C.D. Ripple, J. Rubin, T. E. A. Van Hylckama
1970, Report
A procedure that combines meteorological and soil equations of water transfer makes it possible to estimate approximately the steady-state evaporation from bare soils under conditions of high water table. Field data required include soil-water retention curves, water table depth and a record of air temperature, air humidity and wind velocity...

1970, Report
Late in October 1969, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the California Water Resources Control Board, obtained data on the dispersion of injected dye in a reach of the Sacramento River near Red Bluff, Calif. The study area was in the vicinity of the Red Bluff diversion dam, immediately...

Records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States are also...
Geology and ground-water resources of Linn County, Iowa
Robert E. Hansen
1970, Water Supply Bulletin 10
Linn County, in east-central Iowa, covers about 713 square miles and lies in the Western Young Drift section of the Central Lowlands physiographic province. The normal annual rainfall in the county is about 88 inches and the annual mean temperature is about 48°F. The population in 1960 was 136,899, of...
Remote sensor application studies report, July 1, 1968 to June 30, 1969: Remote sensing reconnaissance, Mill creek area, Arbuckle Mountains, Oklahoma
L. C. Rowan, Terry W. Offield, Kenneth Watson, P. J. Cannon, R. D. Watson
1970, Report
As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Remote Sensor Application Studies program, infrared images and several kinds of photographs were obtained on reconnaissance flights over two areas in the Arbuckle Mountains near Mill Creek, Oklahoma. These data were used in a preliminary investigation (1) to determine the diagnostic reflection and...
Water resources data for Idaho, water year 1969; Part 2, Water quality records
U.S. Geological Survey
1970, Water Data Report ID-69-2
Water-resources investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey include the collection of water-quality data on the chemical and physical characteristics of surface- and ground-water supplies of the Nation. These data for the 1969 water year for the quality of surface waters in Idaho are presented in this report. Data for a...

Retention of mercury by salmon
Donald F. Amend
1970, Progressive Fish-Culturist (32) 192-194
Consuming fish that have been exposed repeatedly to mercury derivatives is a potential public health hazard because fish can accumulate and retain mercury in their tissues (Rucker, 1968). Concern has been expressed in the United States because mercurials have been used extensively in industry and as prophylactic and...
Daily water-temperature records for Utah streams, 1944-68
G.L. Whitaker
1970, Utah Basic-Data Release 19
Temperature is an important and sometimes critical factor for many uses of water. Temperature affects the usefulness of the water for recreation, fish and wildlife propagation, industrial cooling, food processing, and manufacturing. Temperature also affects the ability of the water to accommodate biologic and vegetative types of life.The purpose of...

The Television Experiment objectives are to provide imaging data which will complement previously gathered data and extend our knowledge of Mars. The two types of investigations will be fixed-feature (for mapping) and variable-feature (for surface and atmospheric changes). Two cameras with a factor-of-ten difference in resolution will be used on...
Correction of bias in belt transect studies of immotile objects
David R. Anderson, R.S. Pospahala
1970, Journal of Wildlife Management (34) 141-146
Unless a correction is made, population estimates derived from a sample of belt transects will be biased if a fraction of, the individuals on the sample transects are not counted. An approach, useful for correcting this bias when sampling immotile populations using transects of a fixed width, is presented....
An improved method for size distribution of stream bed gravel
Luna Bergere Leopold
1970, Water Resources Research (6) 1357-1366
Random sampling of surface rocks on a gravel bar is biased toward larger sizes which, because of their area, are more likely to be picked up. Weighting can eliminate this bias. Data on average weight of a single rock are used to change numbers of rocks to weights, thus yielding...
