The use of auxiliary variables in capture-recapture and removal experiments
K. H. Pollock, J.E. Hines, J.D. Nichols
1984, Biometrics (40) 329-340
The dependence of animal capture probabilities on auxiliary variables is an important practical problem which has not been considered in the development of estimation procedures for capture-recapture and removal experiments. In this paper the linear logistic binary regression model is used to relate the probability of capture to continuous...
Feeding flights of nesting wading birds at a Virginia colony
R.M. Erwin
1984, Colonial Waterbirds (7) 74-79
Feeding flights of Snowy Egrets (Egretta thula), Tricolored Herons (E. tricolor), Little Blue Herons (E. caerulea), and Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis) were monitored at a small nesting colony near Chincoteague, Virginia during late May and June 1979. All four species varied their flight directions over a series of days....
Population trends and environmental contaminants in herons in the Tennessee Valley, 1980-81
W. James Fleming, B.P. Pullin, D. M. Swineford
1984, Colonial Waterbirds (7) 63-73
Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) eggs (N = 40) collected in 1980 from four of the largest colonies in the Tennessee Valley contained organochlorine pesticide, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), and chromium concentrations below those associated with reduced productivity. Low concentrations of organochlorine pesticide and PCB residues also were found in...

Geographic Names Information System
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1984, Report
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is an automated data system developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to standardize and disseminate information on geographic names. GNIS provides primary information for all known places, features, and areas in the United States identified by a proper name. The information in the...
Fluoride, Nitrate, and Dissolved-Solids Concentrations in Ground Waters of Washington
W. E. Lum II, Gary L. Turney
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-508
This study provides basic data on ground-water quality throughout the State. It is intended for uses in planning and management by agencies and individuals who have responsibility for or interest in, public health and welfare. It also provides a basis for directing future studies of ground-water quality toward areas where...
Hydrology of Area 62, Northern Great Plains and Rocky Mountain Coal Provinces, New Mexico and Arizona
F.E. Roybal, J.G. Wells, R.L. Gold, J.V. Flager
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-698
This report summarizes available hydrologic data for Area 62 and will aid leasing decisions, and the preparation and appraisal of environmental impact studies and mine-permit applications. Area 62 is located at the southern end of the Rocky Mountain Coal Province in parts of New Mexico and Arizona and includes approximately...
An overview of paleogene molluscan biostratigraphy and paleoecology of the Gulf of Alaska region
L. Marincovich Jr., S. McCoy Jr.
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (47) 91-102
Paleogene marine strata in the Gulf of Alaska region occur in three geographic areas and may be characterized by their molluscan faunal composition and paleoecology: a western area consisting of the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak Island, and adjacent islands; a central area encompassing Prince William Sound; and an eastern area extending...
Late quaternary sediments, minerals, and inferred geochemical history of Didwana Lake, Thar Desert, India
R.J. Wasson, G.I. Smith, D.P. Agrawal
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (46) 345-372
Variations in clastic sediment texture, mineralogy of both evaporites formed at the surface and precipitates formed below the lake floor, and the relative chemical activities of the major dissolved components of the chemical precipitates, have allowed reconstruction of the history of salinity and water-level changes in Didwana Lake, Thar Desert,...
Distribution and ecology of deep-water benthic foraminifera in the Gulf of Mexico
C. W. Poag
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (48) 25-37
Bathyal and abyssal foraminifera in the Gulf of Mexico are distributed among thirteen generic predominance facies. Five predominance facies nearly encircle the Gulf basin along the slope and rise; a sixth predominance facies blankets the Sigsbee Plain, and a seventh is restricted to the Mississippi Fan. The remaining eight predominance...
Neogene stratigraphy of the submerged U.S. Atlantic margin
C. Wylie Poag
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (47) 103-127
Thirty boreholes and several hundred sea-floor samples provide a detailed but incomplete record of Neogene strata and depositional environments along the submerged part of the United States Atlantic margin. Three major sedimentary basins, the Blake Plateau Basin, the Baltimore Canyon Trough, and the Georges Bank Basin, contain Neogene sedimentary prisms...
Neogene molluscan stages of the West Coast of North America
L. Marincovich Jr.
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (46) 11-24
Neogene marine sediments of the West Coast of North America were deposited in a series of widely spaced basins that extended geographically from the western and northern Gulf of Alaska (60°N) to southern California (33°N). Rich molluscan faunas occur extensively throughout these deposits and form the basis for biostratigraphic schemes...
Transport and concentration controls for chloride, strontium, potassium and lead in Uvas Creek, a small cobble-bed stream in Santa Clara County, California, U.S.A.: 2. Mathematical modeling
A. P. Jackman, R. A. Walters, V. C. Kennedy
1984, Journal of Hydrology (75) 111-141
Three models describing solute transport of conservative ion species and another describing transport of species which adsorb linearly and reversibly on bed sediments are developed and tested. The conservative models are based on three different conceptual models of the transient storage of solute in the bed. One model assumes the...
Use of a digital model to evaluate hydrogeologic controls on groundwater flow in a fractured rock aquifer at Niagara Falls, New York, U.S.A.
M.L. Maslia, R.H. Johnston
1984, Journal of Hydrology (75) 167-194
The Hyde Park landfill is a 15-acre (6.1 ha) chemical waste disposal site located north of Niagara Falls, New York. Underlying the site in descending order are: (1) low-permeability glacial till and lacustrine deposits; (2) a moderately permeable fractured rock aquifer - the Lockport Dolomite; and (3) a low-permeability unit...
Transport and concentration controls for chloride, strontium, potassium and lead in Uvas Creek, a small cobble-bed stream in Santa Clara County, California, U.S.A.: 1. Conceptual model
V. C. Kennedy, A. P. Jackman, S.M. Zand, G. W. Zellweger, R.J. Avanzino
1984, Journal of Hydrology (75) 67-110
Stream sediments adsorb certain solutes from streams, thereby significantly changing the solute composition; but little is known about the details and rates of these adsorptive processes. To investigate such processes, a 24-hr. injection of a solution containing chloride, strontium, potassium, sodium and lead was made at the head of a...
Experimental studies in natural groundwater recharge dynamics: Assessment of recent advances in instrumentation
M. Sophocleous, C. A. Perry
1984, Journal of Hydrology (70) 369-382
To quantify and model the natural groundwater-recharge process, two sites in south-central Kansas, U.S.A., were instrumented with various modern sensors and data microloggers. The atmospheric-boundary layer and the unsaturated and saturated soil zones were monitored as a unified regime. Data from the various sensors were collected using microloggers in combination...
