Lake Erie: Effects of exploitation, environmental changes and new species on the fishery resources
Wilbur L. Hartman
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 899-912
In no other lake as large as Lake Erie (surface area, 25,690 km2) have such extensive changes taken place in the drainage basin, the lake environment, and the fish populations over the last 100 years. Deforestation and prairie burning led to erosion and siltation of valuable spawning grounds. Marsh spawning...

1972, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 21
The upper Housatonic River basin report area has an abundant supply of water of generally good quality, which is derived from precipitation on the area and streams entering the area. Annual precipitation has averaged about 46 inches over a 30-year period. Of this, approximately 22 inches of water is returned...

Stanley H. Jones
1972, Report
The U.S. Public Health Service is currently developing plans for a long-term water supply and sewage treatment system for the village of Barrow, Alaska. To assist in planning, the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to initiate a cooperative streamflow data-collection program with the U.S. Public Health Service in June 1972...
Microcrystalline sphalerite in resin globules suspended in Lake Kivu, East Africa
E.T. Degens, H. Okada, S. Honjo, J.C. Hathaway
1972, Mineralium Deposita (7) 1-12
The origin and chemical nature of micron-sized spheres found as suspended particles in Lake Kivu are examined. It can be shown that the hollow spheres, with a wall thickness of 500 Å, consist of a complex polymeric resinous material which has little functionality, except for hydroxyl...
Metamorphic assemblages and the direction of flow of metamorphic fluids in four instances of serpentinization
I. Barnes, John B. Rapp, J. R. O’Neil, R.A. Sheppard, A. J. Gude III
1972, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (35) 263-276
Fluids related to Serpentinization are of at least three types. The first reported (Barnes and O'Neil, 1969) is a fluid of local meteoric origin, the chemical and thermodynamic properties of which are entirely controlled by olivine, orthopyroxene, brucite, and serpentine reactions. It is a Ca+2-OH−1 type and...
Biological data on PCBs in animals other than man
L.F. Stickel
1972, Book chapter, Polychlorinated Biphenyls and the Environment
SUMMARY: Polychlorinated biphenyls have become ubiquitous in the world ecosystem in quantities similar to those of DDE. Experimental studies have shown that PCBs have a toxicity to mallards, pheasants, bobwhite quail, coturnix quail, red-winged blackbirds, starlings, cowbirds, and grackles that is of the same...
Hydraulic testing of hole UA-1-HTH-1, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance, G.A. Dinwiddie
1972, Report
Total depth of the hole was 1,054 meters (3,458 feet) but, because of borehole erosion and bridging, only about 198 meters (650 feet) of the hole was·hydraulically tested with straddle packers. Some information was obtained on the lower part of the hole by use of the pressure recorders which are...
Channel erosion surveys along proposed TAPS route, Alaska, July 1971
Joseph M. Childers
1972, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey has the threefold responsibility along the proposed route of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS): to investigate possible hydroloqic hazards to the pipeline, to investigate possible impacts of the pipeline on water resources, and to develop a better understanding of Arctic hydrology. Because the proposed pipeline route...
A land use classification scheme for use with remote sensor data
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1972, Book
The needs of Federal agencies for a broad overview of national land use patterns, trends, and environmental impacts, with data inputs from both conventional sources and some of the more exotic sensors in high altitude aircraft and satellite platforms led to the formation in early 1971 of an Inter-Agency Steering...
U.S. Geological Survey National Center, Reston, Virginia
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1972, Report
In 1917 the Geological Survey moved into the newly built Interior Building near the White House in Washington, D. C. Twenty years later a larger building was constructed nearby to house the expanding U. S. Department of the Interior. Height restrictions reduced the planned size of the new building, and...
Middle pleistocene mollusks from St. Lawrence Island and their significance for the paleo-oceanography of the Bering Sea
D.M. Hopkins, R.W. Rowland, W. W. Patton Jr.
1972, Quaternary Research (2) 119-134
Drift, evidently of Illinoian age, was deposited on St. Lawrence Island at the margin of an ice cap that covered the highlands of the Chukotka Peninsula of Siberia and spread far eastward on the continental shelf of northern Bering Sea. Underlying the drift on the northwestward part of the island...
An inventory of suspended sediment stations and type of data analysis for Pennsylvania streams, 1947-1970
Arthur N. Ott, Allen B. Commings
1972, Report
Data concerning suspended sediment concentrations and loads, frequency of occurrence of suspended sediment concentrations, and long-term trends of annual suspended sediment loads are important tools for today's environmental manager. These data are required background for those concerned with establishing and enforcing erosion and sedimentation control regulations and sediment concentration or...

Water quality at Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida, 1971–72
Herbert J. Freiberger, Benjamin F. McPherson
1972, Open-File Report FL 72-023
The quality of water, sediment, and biota was determined at four sites in canals and drainage ditches at Miami International Airport (MIA) during high- and low-water periods and during summer and winter 1971–72. Concentrations of common ions, such as calcium, sodium, chloride, and magnesium, tended to be above average for...
Potential transport of sediment from Enloe Reservoir by the Similkameen and Okanogan rivers, Washington
L. M. Nelson
1972, Open-File Report 72-269
This study was undertaken to determine the probable effects on the Similkameen and Okanogan Rivers of the removal, transport, and deposition of sediment now deposited behind Enloe Dam on the Similkameen River, if the dam were removed. Under existing conditions of sediment transport, the average annual suspended-sediment discharges at three streamflow-measuring...
