Freshwater aspects of anadromous salmonid enhancement
Rowan W. Gould
1982, NOAA Technical Report NMFS Circular 447
Freshwater enhancement of anadromous salmonid populations has been practiced in the United States and Canada since the late 1800's. Reduction of natural spawning habitat and increasing fishing pressure make artificial enhancement a possible alternative to declining populations. Enhancement of anadromous salmonids involved improvement of the natural environment and reducing natural mortality....

HEP as a planning tool: an application to waterfowl enhancement
Scott C. Matulich, Jeffrey E. Hanson, Ivan Lines, Adrian Farmer
1982, Transactions of the North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference (47)
To many, the principal role of wildlife agencies in public and private resource development has been that of impact mitigation. With known or pending habitat damage, biologists have to develop mitigation or compensation plans. Unfortunately, once in a mitigation framework, they are in a no-win situation, seeking remedial action at...

Siderite concretions: indicators of early diagenesis in the Gammon shale (Cretaceous).
D. L. Gautier
1982, Journal of Sedimentary Petrology (52) 859-871
The Gammon member of the Pierre shale of the northern Great Plains, USA, contains abundant siderite concretions. The relative depth and time of siderite precipitation can be inferred from the structure, mineralogy and isotopic composition of these concretions. Concretions that formed at shallow depths, early in the history of the...
Leachability of uranium and other elements from freshly erupted volcanic ash
D. B. Smith, R. A. Zielinski, W.I. Rose Jr.
1982, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (13) 1-30
A study of leaching of freshly erupted basaltic and dacitic air-fall ash and bomb fragment samples, unaffected by rain, shows that glass dissolution is the dominant process by which uranium is initially mobilized from air-fall volcanic ash. Si, Li, and V are also preferentially mobilized by glass dissolution. Gaseous transfer...
Implications of the Precambrian lineaments on the Red Sea tectonics based on Landsat study of northeast Sudan
F. Ahmed
1982, Global Tectonics and Metallogeny (1) 326-335
Lineament analysis of a Landsat Imagery mosaic (scale 1:1,000,000) of northeast Sugdan indicate significant curvilinear as well as rectilinear fracture patterns of possible Precambrian age. Rectilinear features trend dominantly in N-S (± 10°), NNW and ENE, and less commonly in NW and EW directions. The Precambrian fractures closely match, and...

We have designed an instrument to collect fine-grained and flocculent material from the water/sediment interface for chemical and mineralogical analysis. The sampler can be used from a manned research submersible or by a diver in shallow water. In areas of active deposition, the material collected represents the most recently deposited...
Origin of biotite-hornblende-garnet coronas between oxides and plagioclase in olivine metagabbros, Adirondack region, New York
P.R. Whitney, J. M. McLelland
1982, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (82) 34-41
Complex multivariant reactions involving Fe-Ti oxide minerals, plagioclase and olivine have produced coronas of biotite, hornblende and garnet between ilmenite and plagioclase in Adirondack olivine metagabbros. Both the biotite (6-10% TiO2) and the hornblende (3-6% TiO2) are exceptionally Titanium-rich. The garnet is nearly identical in composition to the garnet in...
An analysis of input errors in precipitation-runoff models using regression with errors in the independent variables
Brent M. Troutman
1982, Water Resources Research (18) 947-964
Errors in runoff prediction caused by input data errors are analyzed by treating precipitation-runoff models as regression (conditional expectation) models. Independent variables of the regression consist of precipitation and other input measurements; the dependent variable is runoff. In models using erroneous input data, prediction errors are inflated and estimates of...
