Geologic map showing springs rich in carbon dioxide or or chloride in California
Ivan Barnes, William P. Irwin, H.A. Gibson
1975, Water Resources Investigations Open-File Map 1975
Carbon dioxide- and chloride-rich springs occur in all geologic provinces in California, but are most abundant in the Coast Ranges and the Great Valley. The carbon-dioxide-rich springs issue mainly from Franciscan terrane; they also are rich in boron and are of the metamorphic type (White, 1957). Based on isotopic data,...

1975, Newsletter 3
Bill Overstreet, this year's president of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping, wrote us a brief note of guidance after the first issue of the NCIC Newsletter. In it, he cautioned us, among other things, not to get tied down to a strict publishing schedule. "Publish as information becomes...
National Cartographic Information Center Newsletter No. 2
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1975, Newsletter 2
The publication of this issue has been delayed due to the siren call of annual leave and the general inertia produced by the langorous, if pollution-ridden stillness of deep summer in Northern Virginia. We are introducing a new, more artistic cover design with this issue, courtesy of the Geological Survey's...
Feeding behavior and temperature and light tolerance of Mysis relicta in the laboratory
G.M. DeGraeve, James B. Reynolds
1975, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (104) 394-397
Live specimens of Mysis relicta from Lake Michigan were held for one year in the laboratory to determine feeding behavior and tolerance to light and temperature. Mysids fed by moving with rapid, horizontal jerking motions toward food as it settled toward the bottom and by swimming slowly, upside down, to...

Norfolk and environs: A land use perspective
Robert H. Alexander, Peter J. Buzzanell, Katherine A. Fitzpatrick, Harry F. Lins, Herbert K. McGinty III
1975, Final Report Volume 2, Part A
The Norfolk-Portsmouth Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) in southeastern Virginia was the site of intensive testing of a number of land resources assessment methods, built around the availability of remotely sensed data from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-I), later renamed LANDSAT I. The Norfolk tests were part of a...

Potentiometric surface of the Lloyd aquifer on Long Island, New York, in January 1975
Charles A. Rich, Keith R. Prince, Anthony G. Spinello
1975, Report
A map showing the potentiometric surface of the Lloyd aquifer was drawn from water-level measurements made in January 1975. Altitude of the potentiometric surface ranged from more than 20 feet below mean sea level in Queens County to more than 40 feet above mean sea level in Suffolk County....

Oats may grow better in water depleted in oxygen 18 and deuterium
Jim D. Gleason, Irving Friedman
1975, Nature (256) 305
WHILE growing oats at different temperatures in water of different 18O and deuterium (D) abundances, we noticed that oats grown in Antarctic water in which is depleted in 18O and D by −49‰ and −400‰, relative to standard mean ocean water (SMOW used as a comparative reference in...
Two models for earthquake forerunners

1975, Pure and Applied Geophysics PAGEOPH (113) 169-181
Similar precursory phenomena have been observed before earthquakes in the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, and China. Two quite different physical models are used to explain these phenomena. According to a model developed by US seismologists, the so-called dilatancy diffusion model,...
Recent sedimentary history of Lake Monona, Wisconsin
Gilbert C. Bortleson, G.F. Lee
1975, Water, Air, & Soil Pollution (4) 89-98
Chemical analyses from two short cores in Lake Monona show that pronounced changes in chemical stratigraphy have occurred since white man moved into Madison and southern Wisconsin and began modifying the area. Since the mid to late 1800's, there has been an appreciable increase in P,...

Y. Herman, J. R. O’Neil
1975, Nature (258) 591-595
DURING the late Cainozoic, alternations between interglacial and glacial conditions, manifested by waning and waxing of continental ice sheets coincided with the rise and fall of seawater temperatures. Our palaeontological and oxygen isotope data indicate that although the major oceans and low latititude seas underwent large...

Wilson's Phalaropes, Steganopus tricolor, migrate in late summer from the prairie regions of North America to their wintering grounds in the highlands of Peru and the inland and coastal waters of Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina (Holmes 1939, Meyer de Schauensee 1970). Reports on these birds from their wintering...

W. H. Stickel
A.D. McIntyre, C.F. Mills, editor(s)
1975, Book chapter, Ecological Toxicology Research: Effects of Heavy Metal and Organohalogen Compounds: Proceedings of a NATO Science Committee Conference
Summary: Pollutants tend to simplify plant and animal communities by causing a progressive loss of species. At the extreme, this leads to erosion and loss of soil fertility. Weedy, broadly adapted species increase. Among animals, carnivorous species and groups are often the first to suffer. This is...
Estimates of temperature and precipitation for northeastern Utah
F.K. Fields, D. B. Adams
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 131-136
Estimates of temperature and precipitation were made for northeastern Utah from information that was collected at 67 locations. The variable-length records were converted to the common-time base of 1941-70; then general relations were developed to extend the converted point values to unsampled sites. Regression techniques were used to fill voids...
