Isotopic investigations of xenoliths and host basalts from the Honolulu volcanic series
J. R. O’Neil, C. E. Hedge, E.D. Jackson
1970, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (8) 253-257
Oxygen, carbon and strontium isotope ratios point to a ground-water origin for the carbonates found in Hawaiian Volcanic Series rocks. Strontium isotope ratios in the xenoliths and host basalts indicate a genetic relationship between them....
Isotopic composition of strontium in sea water throughout Phanerozoic time
Z. E. Peterman, C. E. Hedge, H. A. Tourtelot
1970, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (34) 105-120
Isotopic analyses of strontium in primary fossil carbonate reveal significant variations in Sr87Sr86">Sr87Sr86 of sea water during the Phanerozoic. The strontium isotopic composition may have been uniform from the Ordovician through the Mississippian, with an average Sr87Sr86">Sr87Sr86 of 0.7078. A subsequent decrease...
Some investigations of the deposition of travertine from Hot Springs-I. The isotopic chemistry of a travertine-depositing spring
I. Friedman
1970, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (34) 1303-1315
The isotopic compositions of the travertine and of the hot spring solutions were studied at Main Springs and New Highland Terrace in the Mammoth Hot Springs area of Yellowstone Park. The springs issue at 74°C and a pH of 6.65 and the carbon isotopic composition of the travertine depositing at...
Geothermal resources of the northern gulf of Mexico basin
P.H. Jones
1970, Geothermics (2) 14-26
Published geothermal gradient maps for the northern Gulf of Mexico basin indicate little or no potential for the development of geothermal resources. Results of deep drilling, from 4000 to 7000 meters or more, during the past decade however, define very sharp increases in geothermal gradient which are associated with the...
Accumulation of radionuclides in bed sediments of the Columbia River between Hanford reactors and McNary Dam
Jack L. Nelson, W.L. Haushild
1970, Water Resources Research (6) 130-137
Amounts of radionuclides from the Hanford reactors contained in bed sediments of the Columbia River were estimated by two methods: (1) from data on radionuclide concentration for the bed sediments between the reactors and McNary Dam, and (2) from data on radionuclide discharge for river stations at Pasco, Washington, and...
Toxicity of 33 NCS to freshwater fish and sea lamprey
Leif L. Marking, Everett L. King, Charles R. Walker, John H. Howell
1970, Investigations in Fish Control 38
The chemical 33NCS (3'-chloro-3-nitrosalicylanilide) was evaluated as a fish control agent and as a larvicide for sea lampreys at the Fish Control Laboratories of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and the Hammond Bay Biological Station of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The chemical is rapidly toxic to many...

Daily water-temperature records for Utah streams, 1944-68
G.L. Whitaker
1970, Utah Basic-Data Release 19
Temperature is an important and sometimes critical factor for many uses of water. Temperature affects the usefulness of the water for recreation, fish and wildlife propagation, industrial cooling, food processing, and manufacturing. Temperature also affects the ability of the water to accommodate biologic and vegetative types of life.The purpose of...
Water-quality data for the Flaming Gorge Reservoir area, Utah and Wyoming
R. J. Madison
1970, Utah Basic-Data Release 20
In October 1966, the U.S. Geological Survey began a reconnaissance study of water quality in Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The purpose of this study was to determine the load of dissolved ions in the reservoir, the changes in chemical quality of the water as a result of initial leaching and subsequent...
Quality of surface water in the Bear River basin, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho
K.M. Waddell
1970, Utah Basic-Data Release 18
Water-quality data have been collected intermittently at several sites in the Bear River basin since 1947. Because the Bear River flows through three States - Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho - water-quality programs have been confined for the most part within State boundaries. In 1967, the U.S. Geological Survey, as a...
The determination of low levels of cobalt-60 in environmental waters by liquid scintillation counting
H.C. Claassen
1970, Analytica Chimica Acta (52) 229-235
A method for determination of cobalt-60 in waters at levels greater than 0.5 pCi per sample is presented. A modification of the method may be used to analyze fluvial sediments and soils. After the cobalt has been separated, first as the hydroxide and then as...

1970, Utah Basic-Data Release 21
This report presents selected basic data from a study of the ground-water resources of Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho. The study was made during 1967-69 by the u.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights, and with the assistance of the U.S....
Experimental control of Columnaris sisease with a new Nitrofuran drug, P-7138
Donald F. Amend, Avron J. Ross
1970, Progressive Fish-Culturist (32) 19-25
P-7138 is a new, broad-spectrum, vinylogous, nitrofuran chemotherapeutic that was developed specifically for treating fish diseases. Although it can be added to the diet of fish, therapeutic tissue levels can be obtained in eels (Anguilla japonica) and goldfish (Carassius auratur) by absorption of the drug directly from the water. Moreover,...
Alula removal technique for identifying wings of released waterfowl
G.V. Burger, R. J. Greenwood, R.C. Oldenburg
1970, Journal of Wildlife Management (34) 137-140
A technique for marking waterfowl ducklings less than 1 day old was developed to permit subsequent identification in the hand. Marking was accomplished by removing the alulae from wings of mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) ducklings with a small scissors or clipper. No differences in growth rate, behavior, or flight capability were...

During the past 4 years the Ann Arbor Great Lakes Fishery Laboratory of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries has been monitoring insecticide levels in fish from the Great Lakes. The two insecticides found in all Great Lakes fish have been DDT (DDT, DDD, DDE) and dieldrin. Fish from Lake Michigan...
Walleye fishery of Lake Erie in 1943-62 with emphasis on contributions of the 1942-61 year-classes
John W. Parsons
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 1475-1489
The commercial fishery for walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) in Lake Erie virtually collapsed in the late 1950's. The extreme decline in production was attributed primarily to a succession of weak year-classes, caused by habitat deterioration (increased water temperatures, enrichment, and pollution) in western Lake Erie. Unusually high fishing intensity and...
