Natural mineral water of the United States: Section in Fourteenth Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey to the Secretary of the Interior, 1892-1893: Part 2 - Accompanying papers
A.C. Peale
1894, Annual Report 14
Aside from the geological interest attached to the subject of mineral waters the facts that within the limits of the United States there are between 8,000 and 10,000 mineral springs, and that the waters from nearly 300 are annually placed upon the market to the extent of over 21,000,000 gallons,...
Vapor pressure, dew-point, and relative humidity tables adapted to whirled (or sling) psychrometer

Instructions for observing air temperature, humidity, and direction and force of wind
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1892, Division of Hydrography Circular 2
Description of instruments.-The temperature and humidity of the air are obtained from the simultaneous observation of a pair of mercurial thermometers termed the dry and the wet bulb. The air temperature is given by the dry-bulb thermometer, and the humidity is obtained from the combined readings of both. The wet-bulb...
Table of differences of altitude to nearest foot for angles from 1 minute to 2 degrees and for distances under 1 mile
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1891, Report
The top line represents differences of altitude in feet. The first column gives vertical angles in degrees and minutes. The body of the table gives distances in miles and hundredths of a mile, corresponding to the number of feet at the top of the column, and the angle at the...
Lake Bonneville
Grove Karl Gilbert
1890, Monograph 1
This volume is a contribution to the later physical history of the Great Basin. As a geographic province the Great Basin is characterized by a dry climate, changes of drainage, volcanic eruption, and crustal displacement. Lake Bonneville, the special theme of the volume, was a phenomenon of climate and drainage,...
Instructions to rain-fall observers of U.S. Geological Survey
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1889, Division of Hydrography Circular 1
In the prosecution of the general "survey of the arid lands for purposes of irrigation," authorized by Congress to be undertaken by the U. S. Geological Survey, a determination of the amount of water supplied by the natural rain and snow fall in different localities is of fundamental importance. To...

On the fresh-water invertebrates of the North American Jurassic
Charles A. White
1886, Bulletin 29
Important additions having lately been made to our knowledge of the fresh-water invertebrates of the North American Jurassic strata, I have thought it desirable to present not only descriptions and figures of the new forms in this bulletin, but to make the publication an illustrated synopsis of all the forms...
Lists and analyses of the mineral springs of the United States: A preliminary study
Albert C. Peale
1886, Bulletin 32
In attempting the collection of data for the statement of the commercial value of the mineral waters of the country for publication in the report on the Mineral Resources of the United States, 1883 and 1884, it was necessary as a prerequisite to have a list of the springs from...

Notes on the geology of northeastern New Mexico
O. St. John
1876, Report, Bulletin of the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories
In the region of the headwaters of the Canadian is embraced a territory which, for the completeness of its geological record and the interest of its concomitant topographical and scenic features, is not excelled perhaps by a similar extent of country in the West. It is bounded on the west...
Exploration of the Colorado River of the West and its tributaries: Explored in 1869, 1870, 1871, and 1872, under the direction of the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution
John Wesley Powell
1875, Report
In the summer of 1867, with a small party of naturalists, students, and amateurs like myself, I visited the mountain region of Colorado Territory. While in Middle Park, I explored a little cañon, through which the Grand River runs, immediately below the well-known watering-place, "Middle Park Hot Springs." Later in...
Preliminary report upon a reconnaissance through southern and southeastern Nevada, made in 1869
George Montague Wheeler, D.W. Lockwood
1875, Report
By authority from headquarters Military Division of the Pacific, Lieut. George M. Wheeler, United States Engineers, will proceed with his civil assistants and three enlisted men to either Camps Halleck or Ruby, Nevada, and having been joined by Lieut. D.W. Lockwood, United States Engineers, now en route via Fort Churchill,...
Report of the Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel, Volume V: Botany
Clarence King, Sereno Watson, Daniel C. Eaton
1871, Report, Professional Papers of the Engineer Department, U.S. Army, No. 18
The territory within which botanical collections have been nmade in connection with the United States Geological Survey of the 40th Parallel lies wholly within the limits of Northern Nevada and Utah. It forms a narrow tract at no point exceeding seventy miles in width, between the meridians of 111° and...
Detecting sulfamethoxazole and carbamazepine in groundwater: Is ELISA a reliable screening tool?
Aliesha L. Krall, Sarah M. Elliott, Melinda L. Erickson, Byron A. Adams
None, Environmental Pollution (234) 420-428
In recent years, numerous studies have reported the prevalence of organic micropollutants in natural waters. There is an increasing interest in assessing the occurrence and transport of these contaminants in groundwater because a large number of people in the United States rely on groundwater for their drinking water. However, commonly used mass-spectrometry-based...
Characterizing the interface between wild ducks and poultry to evaluate the potential of transmission of avian pathogens
Julien Cappelle, Nicolas Gaidet, S. A. Iverson, John Y. Takekawa, Scott H. Newman, Bouba Fofana, Marius Gilbert
None, International Journal of Health Geographics (10)
BackgroundCharacterizing the interface between wild and domestic animal populations is increasingly recognized as essential in the context of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) that are transmitted by wildlife. More specifically, the spatial and temporal distribution of contact rates between wild and domestic hosts is a key parameter for modeling...
Silurian-Devonian age and tectonic setting of the Connecticut Valley-Gaspé trough of Vermont using U-Pb SHRIMP analyses of detrital zircons
C. K. McWilliams, Gregory J. Walsh, Robert P. Wintsch
None, American Journal of Science (310) 325-363
U-Pb SHRIMP ages of detrital zircons from metasedimentary rocks of the Connecticut Valley-Gaspe' trough in Vermont corroborate a Silurian-Devonian age of deposition for these strata and constrain their provenances. Ages of randomly selected detrital zircons obtained from quartzites within the Waits River and Gile Mountain Formations range from Archean to...
An empirical algorithm for estimating agricultural and riparian evapotranspiration using MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index and ground measurements of ET. II. Application to the lower Colorado River, U.S.
R. Scott Murray, Pamela L. Nagler, Kiyomi Morino, Edward P. Glenn
None, Remote Sensing (1) 1125-1138
Large quantities of water are consumed by irrigated crops and riparian vegetation in western U.S. irrigation districts. Remote sensing methods for estimating evaporative water losses by soil and vegetation (evapotranspiration, ET) over wide river stretches are needed to allocate water for agricultural and environmental needs. We used the Enhanced Vegetation...
Synthesis of ground and remote sensing data for monitoring ecosystem functions in the Colorado River Delta, Mexico
Pamela L. Nagler, Edward P. Glenn, Osvel Hinojosa-Huera
None, Remote Sensing of Environment (113) 1473-1485
The delta of the Colorado River in Mexico supports a rich mix of estuarine, wetland and riparian ecosystems that provide habitat for over 350 species of birds as well as fish, marine mammals, and other wildlife. An important part of the delta ecosystem is the riparian corridor, which is supported by agricultural return flows and...
Modeling of wave driven circulation and water quality in nearshore environments
Craig Jones, Stephen J. Angster
None, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 2008 world environmental and water resources congress
In order to investigate the effects of nearshore discharges of water quality degrading substances and bacteria in coastal environments, models capable of predicting nearshore circulation due to local wave and tide conditions are required. One of the larger challenges to nearshore coastal modeling is accurately reproducing nearshore circulation due to...
