Recording and processing procedures for multi-channel seismic-reflection data collected in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica
Shawn V. Dadisman, Holly F. Ryan, Dennis M. Mann
1987, Book chapter, The Anarctic continental margin geology and geophysics of the Western Ross Sea
During 1984, over 2300 km of multichannel seismic-reflection data were recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey in the western Ross Sea and Iselin Bank regions. A temporary loss and sinking of the streamer led to increasing the streamer tow depth to 20 m, which resulted in some attenuation of frequencies...
Ionic conductivity of quartz: DC time dependence and transition in charge carriers
A. K. Kronenberg, Stephen H. Kirby
1987, American Mineralogist (72) 739-747
The time dependence of DC electrical conductivity in the c-axis direction of quartz can be accounted for by a transition in charge carriers from interstitial alkali impurities to interstitial H. The diffusive transport rates of Li, Na, and K are rapid parallel to c and have been shown to be...
Inorganic and organic geochemistry of Eocene to Cretaceous strata recovered from the lower continental rise, North American Basin, Site 603, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 93
Walter E. Dean, M.A. Arthur
1987, Initial Reports of the D.S.D.P. (93) 1093-1137
About one hundred samples of sediments and rocks recovered in Hole 603B were analyzed for type, abundance, and isotopic composition of organic matter, using a combination of Rock-Eval pyrolysis, C-H-N-S elemental analysis, and isotope-ratio mass spectrometry. Concentrations of major, minor, and trace inorganic elements were determined with a combination of...
I. Thermal evolution of Ganymede and implications for surface features. II. Magnetohydrodynamic constraints on deep zonal flow in the giant planets. III. A fast finite-element algorithm for two-dimensional photoclinometry
Randolph L. Kirk
1987, Thesis
The work is divided into three independent papers:PAPER I:Thermal evolution models are presented for Ganymede, assuming a mostly differentiated initial state of a water ocean overlying a rock layer. The only heat sources are assumed to be primordial heat (provided by accretion) and the long-lived radiogenic heat sources in the...
Analysis of trends in water-quality data for water conservation area 3A, the Everglades, Florida
Harold C. Mattraw Jr., Daniel J. Scheidt, Anthony C. Federico
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4142
Rainfall and water-quality data bases from the South Florida Water Management District were used to evaluate water quality trends at 10 locations near or in Water Conservation Area 3A in The Everglades. The Seasonal Kendall test was applied to specific conductance, orthophosphate-phosphorus, nitrate-nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and total nitrogen regression...
Simulation of tidal flow and circulation patterns in the Loxahatchee River Estuary, southeastern Florida
Gary M. Russell, Carl R. Goodwin
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4201
Results of a two-dimensional, vertically averaged, computer simulation model of the Loxahatchee River estuary show that under typical low freshwater inflow and vertically well mixed conditions, water circulation is dominated by freshwater inflow rather than by tidal influence. The model can simulate tidal flow and circulation in the Loxahatchee River...
Synopsis of wetland functions and values: bottomland hardwoods with special emphasis on eastern Texas and Oklahoma
D.L. Wilkinson, K. Schneller-McDonald, R.W. Olson, G.T. Auble
1987, Report, Biological Report
Bottomland hardwood wetlands are the natural cover type of many floodplain ecosystems in the southeastern United States. They are dynamic, productive systems that depend on intermittent flooding and moving water for maintenance of structure and function. Many of the diverse functions performed by bottomland hardwoods (e.g., flood control, sediment trapping,...
Snow and ice studies by thematic mapper and multispectral scanner Landsat images
Olav Orheim, Baerbel K. Lucchitta
1987, Annals of Glaciology (9) 109-118
Digitally enhanced Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images of Antarctica reveal snow and ice features to a detail never seen before in satellite images. The six TM reflective spectral bands have a nominal spatial resolution of 30 m, compared to 80 m for the Multispectral Scanner (MSS). TM bands 2–4 are...

Thermal evolution of a differentiated Ganymede and implications for surface features
Randolph L. Kirk, David J. Stevenson
1987, Icarus (69) 91-134
Thermal evolution models are presented for Ganymede, assuming a mostly differentiated initial state of a water ocean overlying a rock layer. The only heat sources are assumed to be primordial heat (provided by accretion) and the long-lived radiogenic heat sources in the rock component. As Ganymede cools, the ocean thins,...

Instream water use in the United States: water laws and methods for determining flow requirements
Berton L. Lamb, Harvey R. Doerksen
1987, Report, National Water Summary 1987
Water use generally is divided into two primary classes - offstream use and instream use. In offstream use, sometimes called out-of-stream or diversionary use, water is withdrawn (diverted) from a stream or aquifer and transported to the place of use. Examples are irrigated agriculture, municipal water supply, and industrial use....

Snowpack ion accumulation and loss in a basin draining to Lake Superior
Robert Stottlemyer
1987, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (44) 1812-1819
The objective of this study was to relate winter precipitation ionic inputs, snowpack retention, and change in first-order stream chemistry with spring snowpack melt. During winter 1982–83, measurement of precipitation inputs, snowpack concentration and loading, and streamwater concentration and discharge of Ca2+, K+, H+, NO3−, and SO42− from a 176-ha...

Isolation of organic acids from large volumes of water by adsorption on macroporous resins
George R. Aiken

1987, Book chapter, Organic pollutants in water: sampling, analysis, and toxicity testing
Adsorption on synthetic macroporous resins, such as the Amberlite XAD series and Duolite A-7, is routinely used to isolate and concentrate organic acids from forge volumes of water. Samples as large as 24,500 L have been processed on site by using these resins. Two established extraction schemes using XAD-8 and...
