Ground-water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma, 1967-68
R.H. Bingham
1969, Open-File Report 69-335
The investigation of the ground-water resources of Oklahoma by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board includes a continuing program to collect records of water levels in selected observation wells on a systematic basis. These water-level records: (1) provide an index to available ground-water supplies;...

Airborne fluorometer applicable to marine and estuarine studies
George E. Stoertz, William R. Hemphill, David A. Markle
1969, Marine Technology Society Journal (3) 11-26
An experimental Fraunhofer line discriminator detected solar-stimulated yellow fluorescence (5890 A) emitted by Rhodamine WT dye in aqueous solutions. Concentration of 1 part per billion was detected in tap water 1/2-meter deep. In extremely turbid San Francisco Bay, dye was monitored in concentrations of less than 5 parts per billion...
Some guidelines for remote sensing in hydrology
Charles J. Robinove, Daniel G. Anderson
1969, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (5) 10-19
Remote sensing in the field of hydrology is beginning to be applied to significant problems, such as thermal pollution, in many programs of the Federal and State Governments as well as in operation of many private organizations. The purpose of this paper is to guide the hydrologist to a better...
Satellite imagery of the earth
P.M. Merifield, J. Cronin, L.L. Foshee, S.J. Gawarecki, J.T. Neal, R. E. Stevenson, R.O. Stone, R.S. Williams Jr.
1969, Photogrammetric Engineering (35) 654-668
Photography of the Earth from spacecraft has application to both atmospheric and Earth sciences. Gemini and Apollo photographs have furnished information on sea surface roughness, areas of potential upwelling and oceanic current systems. Regional geologic structures and geomorphologic features are also recorded in orbital photographs. Infrared satellite imagery provides meteorological...

Ground-water data as of 1967, Central Coastal Subregion, California
J. S. Bader
1969, Report
Most usable ground water in the predominantly mountainous Central Coastal Subregion occurs in alluvium-filled valleys and coastal plains and in deeper aquifers of Quaternary and Tertiary age. The intervening mountainous areas are underlain by consolidated sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks, mainly of Mesozoic age. These older rocks contain only small...
A study of deep aquifers underlying coastal Orange County, California
Joe A. Moreland, John A. Singer
1969, Report
Deep untapped aquifers of late Pliocene age, which contain water having 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids, underlie most of the coastal part of Orange County. Inland from the Newport-Inglewood structural zone, the depth to the base of aquifers containing fresh water ranges from 1,000 to 2,500 feet...
Willamette River at Lambert Bend, Oregon, bridge-site report
D.D. Harris
1969, Report
The proposed crossing of the Willamette River at Lambert Bend involves a 2.3-mile-wide flood plain. Two of the three principal tangents of the crossing will include bridges that will span the main channel and an overflow channel of the river, as shown in figure 1, page 3. The Oregon State...
Distribution of oxygen and carbon isotopes in fossils of late cretaceous age, western interior region of North America
H. A. Tourtelot, R.O. Rye
1969, Geological Society of America Bulletin (80) 1903-1922
The oxygen isotope composition of both calcite and aragonite of the pelecypod Inoceramus is lighter than the composition of the aragonite of associated baculites and other cephalopods from the western interior region, the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plains, parts of Canada, and West Greenland. This difference cannot be explained by...
Interstitial water studies on small core samples, Deep Sea Drilling Project, Leg 1
Frank T. Manheim, F.L. Sayles
1969, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (1) 403-410
The most dramatic variations in pore water composition occurred in Holes 2 and 3 in the Gulf of Mexico. Both holes showed a strong increase in salinity with depth, evidently owing to diffusion from underlying salt bodies. However, on Challenger Knoll (Hole 2) a sharp drop in salinity was observed...
Glacial sedimentology of the Precambrian Gowganda Formation, Ontario, Canada
David A. Lindsey
1969, GSA Bulletin (80) 1685-1702
The Gowganda Formation is part of the thick Huronián sequence of Precambrian sedimentary rocks that crop out in central Ontario from Lake Superior to Quebec. Although it has long been considered to be glacial, recent work on submarine slump and turbidite deposits has reopened the question of its origin. This...
The relationship between fluids in some fresh alpine-type ultramafics and possible modern serpentinization, western United States
I. Barnes, J. R. O’Neil
1969, Geological Society of America Bulletin (80) 1947-1960
Calcium hydroxide waters issue from four partly serpentinized Alpine-type ultramafic bodies in the western United States. The occurrence of calcium-hydroxide-type water is restricted to fresh Alpine-type ultramafic rocks. The calcium hydroxide waters are unsaturated with Mg end-member olivine and pyroxene but supersaturated with Mg end-member brucite and serpentine and thus...
Experimental studies of pegmatite genesis: I. A model for the derivation and crystallization of granitic pegmatites
R. H. Jahns, C.W. Burnham
1969, Economic Geology (64) 843-864
The genesis of granitic igneous pegmatites is here considered in terms of a model conceived from results of field and laboratory studies and subsequently tested by means of experimental investigations. This model emphasizes the roles of water (and/or other relatively volatile substances), both as a dissolved constituent in granitic magmas...
Lake eutrophication— A natural process
Phillip E. Greeson
1969, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) (5) 16-30
Lake eutrophication is an economic, recreational, and aesthetic problem that affects every lake of the world. Eutrophication is the natural process of lake aging, and progresses irrespective of man's activities. Pollution, however, can hasten the natural rate of aging and shorten the life expectancy of a body of water. The...
Relation of sea water to fresh water in carbonate rocks in coastal areas, with special reference to Florida, U.S.A., and Cephalonia (Kephallinia), Greece
V. T. Stringfield, H. E. LeGrand
1969, Journal of Hydrology (9) 387-404
The principles controlling the equilibrium between the denser salty water and the lighter fresh water in coastal aquifers apply to carbonate as well as sand systems. However, under certain equilibrium conditions of fresh and salt water in parts of some carbonate aquifers unusual hydrologic phenomena result. Hydrologic conditions at Tarpon...
Merumite occurrence in Guyana
C. Milton, S Narain
1969, Economic Geology (64) 910-914
Merumite was discovered with associated diamonds and gold in 1937 in gravels of the Merume River in Guyana. It was described as essentially a hydrous chromium oxide that contains more than 80 percent Cr2Oa. Milton and Chao in 1958 found it to be a complex aggregate, mainly eskolaite (Cr2Oa) with...
Yersinia philomiragia sp. n., a new member of the Pasteurella group of bacteria, naturally pathogenic for the muskrat (Ondatra zibethica)
W. I. Jensen, C.R. Owen, W.L. Jellison
1969, Journal of Bacteriology (100) 1237-1241
A bacterium experimentally pathogenic for muskrats (Ondatra zibethica), white mice, mountain voles (Microtus montanus), and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) was isolated from the tissues of a sick muskrat captured on the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge (Brigham City, Utah) and from four surface water samples collected within 15 miles of...
The role of larval Chironomidae in the production of lacustrine copropel in Mud Lake, Marion County, Florida
A. J. Iovino, W. H. Bradley
1969, Limnology and Oceanography (14) 898-905
Mud Lake is a shallow (avg 45 cm), alkaline (pH 7.7–10.2), brown‐water lake having an area of about 180 ha. A study of its organic sediment was undertaken because it appears to be a present‐day analogue of the richly organic lacustrine oozes that were the precursors of the oil shales...
