Louis N. Locke, Louis Leibovitz, Carlton M. Herman, J.T. Walker
James W. Webb, editor(s)
1969, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the twenty-second annual conference of the Southeastern Association of Game and Fish Commissioners
Duck Viral Enteritis (DVE) was first recognized in North America in January 1967, when an outbreak occurred in a commercial flock of white Pekin ducks in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York (Leibovitz and Hwang, 1968b). Originally described as a disease of domestic ducks in the Netherlands, DVE has since...

Well logging with californium-252
W. Scott Keys, A. R. Boulogne
1969, Conference Paper, SPWLA 10th Annual Logging Symposium
Californium 252 is an isotopic neutron source that has only recently become available for experimental well logging. One curie of 252Cf emits 4.4 x 109 neutrons per second by spontaneous fission, 300 times the emission rate of any other one curie radioisotopic source. California 252 has several other advantages...
Technologic gaps in exploration and exploitation of sub-sea mineral resources
Frank F. Wang, Michael J. Cruickshank
1969, Conference Paper, Offshore technology conference
Progress in marine hard mineral exploration and exploitation has been severely restricted by technologic gaps and the lack of discovery of deposits that can be exploited at a competitive price in the world markets. Immediate needs include improved techniques of placer drilling to permit more reliable evaluation of in situ...
Taxonomy of the common dolphins of the eastern Pacific Ocean
Richard C. Banks, Robert L. Brownell Jr.
1969, Journal of Mammalogy (50) 262-271
Delphinus bairdii Dall is a species of dolphin distinct from D. delphis Linnaeus, with which it has usually been synonymized. D. bairdii has a longer rostrum relative to the zygomatic width of the skull; the ratio of these measurements falls at 1.55 or above for bairdii and 1.53 and below for delphis. In the eastern Pacific Ocean, D. bairdii is found...
Determination of gold in waters in the nanogram range by anion exchange and atomic absorption spectrophotometry
T. T. Chao
1969, Economic Geology (64) 287-290
A method has been developed whereby nanogram amounts of gold in waters can be accurately determined. The development of the method involves determination of optimum conditions for the complete recovery of gold from water using an anion exchange resin column, quantitative elution of gold from the resin, and final measurement...
Willamette Basin Comprehensive Study of Water and Related Land Resources: Appendix B--Hydrology
Willamette Basin Task Force
1969, Report, Willamette Basin comprehensive study of water and related land resources
The study was undertaken to plan for the proper development of water andrelated land resources of the Willamette Basin in Oregon. Appendix B, along with Appendices A and C, provides supporting data for the functional Appendices D through L. Climate is first discussed, including the climatic significance of geographical features such as the...

New thrusts in ground water
C. L. McGuinness
1969, Groundwater (7) 7-10
Four principal trends in ground water are apparent:(1) Increasing use of ground water for domestic supplies. Geohydrologists must learn to quantitatively evaluate the supply under conditions of maximum development, not merely determine the availability of a supply that does not strain the aquifer. (2) Aquifers will be looked to increasingly...
Experiments on formation of contorted structures in mud
Edwin D. McKee, Moshe Goldberg
1969, Geological Society of America Bulletin (80) 231-243
Contorted structures can be formed in mud or sand as a result of differential loading. Fifteen sets of experiments were conducted in water tanks to test various factors of possible significance in the contortion of mud by loading. Of six factors tested, the most significant was distribution of load, but...
Vertical density currents — II
W. H. Bradley
1969, Limnology and Oceanography (14) 1-3
Examples of vertical density currents wholly within the domain of laminar flow, one in a water solution, the other in air, have come to my attention. Both examples illustrate new ways of introducing and dispersing microscopic particles into static fluids and both demonstrate that a stable, clearly defined layer of...
Volcanic substructure inferred from dredge samples and ocean-bottom photographs, Hawaii
James G. Moore, Richard S. Fiske
1969, GSA Bulletin (80) 1191-1202
Ocean-bottom photographs from 18 stations and dredge hauls from 35 stations adjacent to the Island of Hawaii indicate that basaltic pillow lava and pillow fragments are the dominant rock type on the crest and flanks of the submarine rift zone ridges, whereas glassy basalt sand and scoria are the dominant...
Land subsidence due to withdrawal of fluids
J. F. Poland, G. H. Davis
David J. Varnes, George Kiersch, editor(s)
1969, Book chapter, Reviews in Engineering Geology
Land-surface subsidence due to the withdrawal of fluids by man has become relatively common in the United States since 1940 and has been described at several other places throughout the world. This paper reviews the known examples of appreciable land subsidence caused by fluid withdrawal. Those related to exploitation of...
Drilling and testing of well 340, Fort Wingate Army Depot, McKinley County, New Mexico
John W. Shomaker
1969, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey was requested by Fort Wingate Army Depot to designate a well location, suggest construction and testing procedures, and provide continuing technical advice with respect to the drilling of a new production well. The location was determined during a brief preliminary study of the Depot's water supply...
Land subsidence due to the application of water
Ben Elder Lofgren
David J. Varnes, George Kiersch, editor(s)
1969, Book chapter, Reviews in Engineering Geology
Loose, dry, low-density deposits that compact when they are wetted mantle extensive areas in North America, Europe, and Asia. This process, here referred to as hydrocompaction, has produced widespread subsidence of the land surface. Hydrocompaction may occur under natural overburden load or may occur only with the addition of a...
History of the Redwall Limestone of northern Arizona
Edwin D. McKee, Raymond C. Gutschick
1969, Book
Throughout most of northern Arizona the Redwall Limestone of Mississippian age is readily divisible into four lithologic units, designated in ascending order as the Whitmore Wash, Thunder Springs, Mooney Falls, and Horseshoe Mesa Members. The first and third members are thick-bedded to massive carbonate rock. The Horseshoe Mesa Member is...
The linear decision rule in reservoir management and design: 1, Development of the stochastic model
Charles Revelle, Erhard Joeres, William H. Kirby
1969, Water Resources Research (5) 767-777
With the aid of a linear decision rule, reservoir management and design problems often can be formulated as easily solved linear programing problems. The linear decision rule specifies the release during any period of reservoir operation as the difference between the storage at the beginning of the period and a...

The surface-water records for the 1968 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sties within the State of Indiana are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. Water-resources investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey include the...
Safety and survival in an earthquake
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1969, Report
Many earth scientists in this country and abroad are focusing their studies on the search for means of predicting impending earthquakes, but, as yet, an accurate prediction of the time and place of such an event cannot be made. From past experience, however, one can assume that earthquakes will continue...

Modern coastal mangrove swamp stratigraphy and the ideal cyclothem
David W. Scholl
Edward C. Dapples, M. E. Hopkins, editor(s)
1969, Book chapter, Environments of coal deposition: Papers presented at a symposium by the coal geology division of the Geological Society of America at the annual meeting Miami Beach, Florida, 1964
The general stratigraphy of the “ideal” cyclothem of Late Paleozoic age can be recognized in a modern succession of sedimentary units underlying the coastal mangrove swamps of southwestern Florida. Because coal deposition is associated with the formation of cyclothems, this stratigraphic similarity has geologic importance with respect to coal formation.The...
