Ground water beneath coastal bays of the Delmarva Peninsula: Ages and nutrients
John F. Bratton, John Karl Böhlke, Frank T. Manheim, David E. Krantz
2004, Groundwater (42) 1021-1034
To complement a large-scale geophysical investigation of occurrence and discharge of fresh water beneath Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia (Delmarva) coastal bays, we measured (1) salinity and nutrient concentrations in ground water samples from several offshore coring sites and (2) a suite of chemical and isotopic parameters, including age tracers, in...
A precipitation-runoff model for the analysis of the effects of water withdrawals and land-use change on streamflow in the Usquepaug–Queen River Basin, Rhode Island
Phillip J. Zarriello, Gardner C. Bent
2004, Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5139
The 36.1-square-mile Usquepaug–Queen River Basin in south-central Rhode Island is an important water resource. Streamflow records indicate that withdrawals may have diminished flows enough to affect aquatic habitat. Concern over the effect of withdrawals on streamflow and aquatic habitat prompted the development of a Hydrologic Simulation Program–FORTRAN (HSPF) model...
Data collected from USGS drilling in Lafayette Park, Washington, D.C. in November-December, 1976
David C. Prowell, Raymond A. Christopher
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1343
In 1976, the U.S. Geological Survey drilled four holes in Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C. These holes encountered two Coastal Plain units (Quaternary (undifferentiated) and the Lower Cretaceous Potomac Group), and then bottomed in Paleozoic metamorphic bedrock. The stratigraphic relations of the Coastal Plain formations indicate that the Potomac Group...

Are diseases increasing in the ocean?
Kevin D. Lafferty, James W. Porter, Susan E. Ford
2004, Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics (35) 31-54
Many factors (climate warming, pollution, harvesting, introduced species) can contribute to disease outbreaks in marine life. Concomitant increases in each of these makes it difficult to attribute recent changes in disease occurrence or severity to any one factor. For example, the increase in disease of Caribbean coral is postulated to...
VTM plots as evidence of historical change: Goldmine or landmine?
